Played about a half hour so far and I'm really digging it. I know it's a bit early. Also really nice to get the eshop credit already.

What should I be putting points into stat wise? Any suggestions?

Got my copy, Whoo Hoo time to die

 

[Necrovex]

Its been struggling for the last week. Ever since they announced the Platinum Awards.

I need to stop forgetting to put in those Club Nintendo codes from my Wii/3DS games before I resell them. Thankfully, Fire Emblem Awakening is in my account (I just confirmed it), so I decided to pick up SMT IV when I go see my date later this evening.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

In 2:36 hours so far into the game, I've already died like 10 times. Lol

 

[Pouh]

There you are!

Many thanks !

 

[Calibrated Chaos]

I just did a SD card transfer just now with all my data and saves (including Animal Crossing!) in tact. I used the tool on this website https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/ given by Nintendo to format the SD card properly using these http://techforums.nintendo.com/thread/13288 instructions.

This worked perfectly. Thanks a lot!

[Marche90]

I feel like I'm (ab)using the 'shoppers, but...

Can someone avatar-ize #35? Thanks.

Also, finally got the money for this, but I still can't buy the game until next month >.> Oh, well, at least I still can get my $30.

 

[Nags]

If by "enjoying" you mean "want to stab in the face repeatedly"... yes?

I have just the avatar for you PlanetSmasher.

robed men that he hired were kind of a pain and wiped me a few times until I got some Agi.

I've cropped #66 out. If someone could provide a transparent background and no number, that would be awesome, I don't really know photoshop too well.

Sorry I missed this post!

 

[Liferebooted]

How long is a normal playthrough supposed to be anyways? I'm trying to put my rpgs in order of play lol

 

[Hecatonchires Custom]

I'm happy to make any others that people might want!

Got my game though, so I'll be a bit slower with it.

Could you make me a Decarabia then? I'd really appreciate it.

 

[Fake Charlemagne]

I'm so glad I'm not the only person who noticed that. Dem eyes. Can't stop laughing.

He has the best expressions of all time man!

The music on the DLC menu makes me happy. I haven't even started the game yet.

 

[Mozendo]

Thank you so much!

 

[Nairume]

I would take Chibi-Shiva but then that would me I had to give up Hi-Holiday Frost

 

[DSGamer]

I guess the Souls series has a similar "you vs. the world" tone to it (though at least you get demons to join you in SMT and you can join different factions eventually) but that's about it.

Can you elaborate on that? I love the Souls games. I know this is a completely different game in terms of combat, but if it's similar in other ways I'd be interested.

[PK Gaming]

Augh it's not good, I can't make an acceptable avatar

So um, I technically asked twice (so I kind of feel bad, thought the first time was in spoilers) Can someone avaterize for me?

Yes, word of advice. Do not linger with the same demons for very long at all. Fuse often, recruit often. It is as common (well more common really) than changing your equipment.

Spend those app points in added skill slots for yourself and your demons.

Demons in your stock will also gain some exp so the grind is a bit easier.

 

[truly101]

I haven't finished FE or started Soul Hackers yet and I couldn't resist picking this one up. Not sure if I should start it though. I kinda want to play Soul Hackers first.

EDIT: Joan of Arc is an SMT demon now? lol

 

[mocolostrocolos]

May I have #97 or is it taken?

 

[FStop7]

I'd like chibi Slime, please.

CHRIST NO, BEATEN... MY WORLD

 

[FSLink]

Could someone avatarize #11? It would be greatly appreciated. I should have my copy of SMT4 sometime this week.

[Mupod]

Making slow but steady progress into the third strata, I invested very heavily into scouting apps and now I've got all the fodder I can fuse. Plus lots of free macca and items.

Spoiler

Orthrus

didn't even touch me.

Spreading my points evenly across dex,agi and luck so far. When I hit level 9 I have a real nice demon I can fuse which should make things a lot easier.

I'm glad that it's not game over on main character death, I'd have had quite a few of those by now if so...

 

[buddha0991]

I said the same thing! I clicked on the DLC menu and then I smiled.

 

[Soriku]

Can you elaborate on that? I love the Souls games. I know this is a completely different game in terms of combat, but if it's similar in other ways I'd be interested.

You're generally alone in both series but have to fight through legions of enemies. I wouldn't say the isolation in SMT is quite the same as Souls as you have demons that tag along with you but it's close.

Edit: What's the DLC menu music?

 

[Lissar]

Could you make me a Decarabia then? I'd really appreciate it.

Of course!

 

[Reveirg]

I don't have it in front of me... Looked to be 9 or 10 characters.

Yeah I didn't have it on my receipt. The EB girl was nice enough to give it to me over the phone though!

 

[thetechkid]

Ontrac is taking way to long to deliver this game today. So how are people enjoying the game so far?

 

[PK Gaming]

Sorry we missed you! Here you go.

Thank you very much!

Cheers ♪

 

[Isaccard]

Free avatars? I'll take one pls

 

[FStop7]

Let's try again - Can I please have #85? It pretty much represents where I spend most of my time

 

[Hecatonchires Custom]

Of course!

Thanks man

 

[Mupod]

Gamestop armor apparently makes you weak to phys/gun/light/dark, so . . . yeah. lol.

Interesting, I didn't realize the canadian EB games 'armor' would be different. It's just a red/black hoodie with gun weak and elec resist.

 

[DeVeAn]

I really need to get into SMT games. Is this a good entry point?

 

[GeekyDad]

About three hours in. Very well balanced so far. Died a few times already. Demons don't play. They get a smirk, rough times ahead. Really dig the pacing so far as well. They dole things out in an even manner. Feels really satisfying when you hit those weak spots. Conversations are pretty much the same as they've always been in these games so far as I can tell -- a complete crap shoot. The UI is better than expected. Lots of handy dandy things they missed in other games. Mido is:

He's about that cool.

Overall, having a lot of fun so far. The music during the Challenge Quests was awesome! Excellent sound effects.

 

[InsaneElite]

Exactly five hours in and just beat the Minotaur and went back to heal. It's probably because I think I'm a little underleveled, but it was a tense fight, with most of my demons dead and Jonathan scoring the killing blow. These mid-battle dialogue choices are a great way to spice up fights and I'd be dead without them.

Too much Strange Journey lately made me forget how harrowing and tense Press Turn is.

Yeah I'm no stranger to SMT. I just hadn't recruited anybody with Agi yet and I stumbled into those fights unprepared for them. I had every other element though haha.

I need more app points~

Here you go!

Mokoi is taken already, I believe. Sorry!

[Game Rogue]

If not too rude, maybe you could get another code over the phone? I would trade my extra GS DLC for it.

 

[Busaiku]

Ha, Liam O'Brien's fantastic in this.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Kind of disappointed to be honest. Mostly the enemies. I knew they were recycled but couldn't they at least re-draw the sprites? These are just ripped from Strange Journey!

Other than that, the game seems pretty fun. I need to play more of it but disappointed that Etrian Odyssey IV took a step forward with re-designed enemies and looked great for it.
