Trying to recruit a Harpy;
"What do you want?"
"I want you"
"Oh you just want me to fuse with someone else. Ugh."
Damn Harpy you know me too well
She was right though, less than 5 minutes later and I've already fused her

I think I'm finally getting into a rhythm with the game. I kept dying when roaming around trying to complete the training missions and was getting really frustrated with having to watch that death dialogue scene afterward (did not want to spend macca or play coins).
Then the wonderful realization that I can actually leave the training area and rest at the barracks hit me and I was able to grind up some levels a bit and recruit a few more demons. Glad to finally have the Dia skill handy and I'm getting ready for the first boss fight.

Ice is your friend
Give him a snowstorm. Best way to beat him is getting alot of extra turns + Sukukaja to make sure he keeps missing.
Theres also a dialouge choice that will lower his accuracy even more.
By that you mean recruiting them? If so, that's wrong. I'm still getting boned over so much on recuriting lol

Is there a way to really screw up? I'm playing on easy. Just want to know if there's absolutely something I shouldn't be doing.
Yeah but keep it 3rd
Magic>agi>luck
That's all you should spend points on as a magic build

Looking for clarification on the "Expeience of the Afterlife" DLC. Does it break the game? Like, should I purchase it? Or is it effectively a power leveling technique? I don't want to break my experience in my first SMT game.

My 3DS backlog is massive T_T. I still have Soul Hackers and X-Zone unopened as I try and finish Etrian Odyssey IV (52 hours in). I put off EOIV because of Monster Hunter 3 Wii U, which sucked up like 150 hours right after Fire Emblem's massive 225 hour mark.
Gaf, what should I tackle next, this, Hackers, or Xzone?

Post Ueno armor spoiler:
just got the Demonica from SJ. Looks so good. Weak to wind though.
Looking at my compendium and saw Fortuana. Special fusion at level 11
I didnt use her in the boss fight though. I leveled her up and have her whispered the skill to me
It drops items that boost xp
It breaks the game if you make it break the game
However if you want to jump a level quick or so it's fine
Also breaking the game is all in the eyes of the player anyway

So is it something I can play after I finish the main story and get something out of? If so, I'll just wait it out.

Yay it actually came today! I noticed a company called "OnTrac" was delivering it so I looked them up...they had hundreds of one star reviews. Guess I got lucky
First time playing an SMT game...I hope it's
fun
I do like to smirk, though, so I'm considering it going from the post above.
I'll probably just keep dumping into Ma and Ag, though.

Whoowee, I bested the Minotaur on my second try (keep in mind I'm playing on easy), but man what a jump in difficulty. It's so crazy how one slightly different strategy or moves at the beginning makes a difference. Breezed through the second time (getting the right convo choices helped too)
Loving this! On we go!

By the way, you can use the fusion app to check for demons that possess particular skills. It's one of the last few filter options.

You can't (well you can but you will be wiped out very easily) fight the demons there unless you're at least near level 20s anyways.
I tried it last night, I was at level 8. Wiped out on the 1st encounter featuring 3 enemies all around level 22-23, hahahaha.

Some quests can be turned on multiple times, it's intended. The first time you turn it in gives the greatest reward.

I got this before and I love it! A nice touch are the red soles.

Your build is way different than what I'm doing. I'm focusing on strength and agility. I just finished the third quest and I've already died twice. Mainly it was because I tried exploring everything.
I must be going it at wrong increasing STR. STR and AG seem to be the wrong route.. I'm leaving magic up to the demons.
Should I focus on Magic now that my STR is like at 13 and Magic is still around 9?
I raise agi, dex and luck evenly and I have critical wave at +8. Pretty much always crits and does around 240 damage to all, for 8 SP. Gonna be hard to find a replacement for this skill that I've had since the start of the game...

About six-hour spoilers.
EDIT: Oh my god it wouldn't let me use "Old Fart" as a terminal name. Guys, this game's M rated, I think fart is just fine.
I love how understated the story is, with the fantasy interaction with technology. It's not hitting you over the head with it, just small bits of language here or there that at once is funny and informs you about the world, and how little the characters understand. Dramatic irony, well delivered. I really hope that doesn't go away.

What? Don't leave the manly TeamPHYS and go to the wimpy TeamMAG
Raise your DEX, it's a much more important stat for PHYS-based MC. DEX, AGI, and STR, in that order. Maybe want to throw in to LCK every once in a while too. But as Grunt of ME3 once said, "I don't need luck, I have ammo."

Tokyo item shop theme music is sexy. Oh yeah that's going to be a new ring tone
I'm on a certain boss. Fuck him, seriously. The boss:
Edit: FUCKING WALTER! He uses Agi on him, WHEN HE NULLIFIES FIRE! That gives him a smirk, which he uses to take down my protagonist and one of my ice-using demons, which makes me lose, and the fight was going well before that. FUCK YOU WALTER!
Minotaur
I know his weakness is ice, and I have two demons with Bufu for him, do I just need to grind more or what? Once the Labrys strikes start flying he can one-shot my Harpy.

I'd drop that dead weight and get people with more HP accordingly closer to your lvl.

Your entire party should be Bufu blasting, and you should also debuff his accuracy a bit.

Ugh, Walter just had to use Agi and cause
to smirk. I still won but the MC died and missed out on the EXP. I really want Tam Lin

Greatly increase attack power both magical and physical, nullify weakness, 3 x -kaja effect. Basically FUCK YES on your team and FUCK MY LIFE on bosses.
