[Samyy]

I died 3 times in the first dungeon so far

 

[Einbroch]

So you can put in stats ala Ragnarok Online?

Muy interesante.

 

[LostAnkh]

(offer for trading GS DLC outfit for Amazon one if anyone wants it....)

Sorry, but I like my cardboard coat.

 

[SeZMehK]

So before I delve into the game, I'm going to assume that like with most SMT games a focused build is better than an all around one, right? I'm thinking magic is the way to go.

I was thinking about going all around but now I am having my doubts... I am already level 11...

 

[Frosteey]

I am like fifteen minutes into the game. Jonathon is a lame dumbo he is off the team.

Walter and I are going to get married and make chaos world babies.

 

[Tiktaalik]

It's actually a joke on the sort of people who would fall for that sort of trick.

That makes sense. I vaguely recall seeing some other thread that was "Dark Souls of X?" What am I thinking of?

I'm clearly not on GAF enough anymore to catch all the inside jokes..

 

[vctor182]

Crap, my game won't be delivered until thursday even though I pre-ordered it back in April.

 

[F0rneus]

Not sure how most people will set-up their "Flynn" but I am rocking Media, a gun skill, Agi, Bufu, Zio and Zan. This way, if there is a weakness, I can mostly nail it haha.

 

[Tiktaalik]

My body is ready... to buy this game and immediately put it on my shelf because I'm so damn busy with other stuff.

 

[Lissar]

Sorry, but I like my cardboard coat.

Cardboard box coat is the height of fashion.

 

[Rootbeer]

mine should be here any minute now... unless the deliveryman fails to contact me from the callbox which happens frustratingly often >.< Trust me when I say I am literally sitting by the phone crossing my fingers!

 

[Midou]

Muy interesante.

ala SMT games.

 

[F0rneus]

I just realized and had a mild panic attack but...my nekkid Lilith chibi is safe right? I don't want the banhammer to come my way because of her.

 

[LProtag]

So I should be good with upping Ma/Ag/Lu then?

 

[Teknoman]

I'm putting everything RPG wise aside for SMT IV.

 

[buddha0991]

I just realized that Lucifer has the numbers on him, himself, so it will look bad if someone crops him, damn it man!

 

[Lissar]

I'm putting everything RPG wise aside for SMT IV.

I started KOTOR2 for the first time last night. That was a mistake! I'd really like to continue it. But no, SMTIV absolutely comes first.

 

[Marche90]

die for me~

Thank you, kind sir.

 

[Deified Data]

I don't know how my game managed to arrive in pristine condition in one of Amazon's shitty bubble envelopes...

 

[GeekyDad]

I was thinking about going all around but now I am having my doubts... I am already level 11...

Yeah, I don't recommend that. I just started the game as well, but my experience with this series tells me a focused build is probably the way to go. A jack-of-all-trades is probably the best way to make things miserable for yourself later on in the game.

 

[diggler41]

Any way someone can make me a #63 Chibi Pyro Jack? I would very much appreciate it.

Edit: Crud someone else has it. Thanks though!

 

[Busaiku]

Can't believe I'm saving so much.

 

[Urban Scholar]

Can't believe I'm saving so much.

Its really a no concern, better safe than sorry. I mean I can understand if you feel overly paranoid but this game series isn't weaksauce like others.

 

[pigz]

Im thinking the ghosting is intentional. Nocturnes had the same ghost blur effect.

The ghosting he is speaking of is most definitely not intentional. It's 3d ghosting; you can change how bad it is by manipulating the 3ds slider.

The 3d is pretty good, but seems extremely dependent on being in the correct position. more so than say FE. But that may due to how long larger sized characters are on the screen.

 

[Deified Data]

Intro movie was appropriately trippy.

 

[Matt Attack]

Just picked up my copy, so I'm ready to join the club!

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Just got the game from EB Games. My copy has a sticker on it that says, "DO NOT SELL UNTIL SUNDAY" so I guess I could have gotten it earlier, but whatever.

 

[ahdurian]

just picked mine up. apparently i was the last one my EB was waiting for in terms of preorders

 

[F0rneus]

Also word to the wise. When you get a Challenge Quest where Burroughs tells you, is above your current level...don't be afraid. It's never THAT bad.

 

[buddha0991]

Oh god, guys, the music in the DLC menu area....

Man I love the throwbacks:

[jackal27]

There was a big piece of art with chibi forms of various demons a page or so back.

EDIT: I swear if Amazon busts up my game in a bubble envelope...

I see it now... Dang... Not seeing my boy Momunofu in there. *sob*

 

[Tyrant Rave]

I really love how you can see what your demons want to change their skills to in this game.

 

[Mupod]

Son of a...my 3DS' L button seems to be busted. Maybe I can clean it out, my warranty is long gone.

Does this game have CPP support? I have one of those...

 

[Teknoman]

Thats the spirit!

 

[Busaiku]

Oh, that's because of a challenge quest. You can repeat them infinitely for Macca. So she will always notify you when you get one of the required drops

I don't see this Quest on Borroughs, but I completed it.
How am I supposed to know who to deliver it to?

Its really a no concern, better safe than sorry. I mean I can understand if you feel overly paranoid but this game series isn't weaksauce like others.

After 2 Game Overs, on the 1st freaking dungeon, I am not taking any chances ever again.

 

[PlanetSmasher]

Does the protagonist in this game learn magic and skills like demons do, similar to the Demi-Fiend? Or are his abilities based on his equipment, like the dude from Strange Journey?

I miss busting out Javelin Rain, Gaea's Rage and Fatal Impulse on late-game enemies in Nocturne. Demi-Fiend had some pretty epic exclusive attacks with the last few high-rank Magatama.

 

[RiderKairuu]

I can't get my copy until Friday I can not wait!

 

[jello44]

Since other people are doing it...

Can someone make me the Vivian avatar from that bunch.. unless someone took it, which I haven't seen yet.

 

[Philthy]

Thanks for the crushed game shitty bubble mailer.

Demons will whisper sweet nothing in your ears so that you can learn new skills.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Ended up cancelling my online order and went and picked up a copy at Gamestop. I was lucky enough to grab the last Limited Edition, and EBGames.ca still emailed me the pre order bonus.

About to dive in.

 

[F0rneus]

I don't see this Quest on Borroughs, but I completed it.

K in the tavern. Just choose deliver. You can stock up on items and deliver a whole bunch at once. Like a quest for "3 Whatevers". If you have 9 Whatevers, you can turn it in 3 times in a row.

Son of a...my 3DS' L button seems to be busted. Maybe I can clean it out, my warranty is long gone.

Suck the dust out of it. It sounds dumb but it works

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Picked up my copy. Now to set it on the shelf and allow it to mock me while I study for the bar exam!

I'll start it on August 2nd.

The new system is completely different from either.

When your demons learn every skill available to them through leveling, they will be able to transfer these skills to you via whispering. So if you level up Centaur until he learns his final skill for example, you can choose to transfer over Bufu or something. It seems a lot more flexible than the previous systems.

Right now my MC has Bufu, Zio, Dia, and Zan and I'm only level 5

 

[jello44]

That makes sense. I vaguely recall seeing some other thread that was "Dark Souls of X?" What am I thinking of?

I'm clearly not on GAF enough anymore to catch all the inside jokes..

Comes from this.

 

[PlanetSmasher]

Demons will whisper sweet nothing in your ears so that you can learn new skills.

Do you learn specific skills from specific demons, then? That seems like kind of a pain versus the Magatama system.

This is exactly what I was afraid of. Being forced to use a specific demon just to siphon a skill out of it seems like kind of a pain in the butt, especially if it only works once per demon. Magatama system was a lot more intuitive, I think. Thanks for letting me know, though.

 

[Deleted member 20415]

Picking it up in a bit and cannot wait. I'm going to put down Animal Crossing for a bit for this one

 

[Mozendo]

Who's number 38? It's been a long time since I've played an SMT game D:

 

[Mupod]

Suck the dust out of it. It sounds dumb but it works

yeah seems to have worked.

I really wish I'd sent this thing in for repairs when I had my warranty, but I always seemed to have a game I really wanted to play at the time. My camera is busted and I've got the screen scratches, plus it's one of those zelda 3DSes so I don't want to give it up.

I have been thinking about getting an XL though.

 

[Poyunch]

PIN isn't working. Damn it, Nintendo.
