Thanks.
Darn, looks like the earliest I can get it is with King Frost. Unless I don't get lucky with a mutation that is.
I saw it as a mutation on incubus but he's got all physical skills and is slated to get turned into another physical demon shortly. C'est la vie

Trying this with spoilers because I can't find an answer. Once you arrive in Tokyo, there is a challenge quest wherein you have to find a certain number of

I managed to flee Seth with barely any hp left on the sarcophagus right before I got to the door.
Then he spawned underneath me as I was walking.

Also, THE CD MUSIC IS A COLOSSAL WASTE OF SPACE. Goddamn all the tracks included are so goddamn lame.

Finally made it to Tokyo. I have to say,
the way Mikado and Tokyo are linked, by the one being physically above the other (I'm curious how this cosmology works), is pretty interesting. Certainly a lot better than the time travel theories people were throwing out pre-release.

Spoiler that shit.
I got to Tokyo in about eight hours. Tokyo is more in line with older SMT games, not Nocturne, but there are elements that everyone can appreciate. Like the fuck-awesome music.
EDIT: Oh, wait, I guess Tokyo is fair game now for spoilers? Nobody's even blocking it off anymore.
Those challenge quests should specifically tell you you're underlevelled when you accept them (Burroughs will say something about you not being strong enough), that being said I was around 16/17 when I did them and they were hard but not impossible.

Don't worry, it won't take half the game to get to the good part this time.
The fact that you do get to Tokyo isn't a spoiler because it is in promotional material and... it's a mainline SMT game. But details about it should be marked.

I can see both sides of that one. One the one hand, it's a mainline SMT game, so that location should not be a surprise. On the other hand, it's still staged as a dramatic reveal, and it would be nice to preserve that effect for people who don't necessarily expect it (especially first-time SMT players).

So I'm in Tokyo, I made it to
...but I don't know where to go next. I keep wandering around but find myself going in circles all the time. Am I missing something obvious?
Ueno Station
Took me around 9 hours or so though some people were saying they did it in six or seven hours
Did you go into the bar and use the "talk" option and talked with everyone there?
I spent a bit of time wandering around not sure where to go next but heres what you need to do;
Go to the bar in the underground and "talk", then talk to the three people there, one of them will give you quest to kill a Demon in the pond area

Well, whatever it is, the I-don't-want-to-be-spoilered-anything-brigade (me as one of them) is already totally fucked in regards of Tokyo as one of the places we can visit in this game
Not enough Palutena imo

Yuuuuuuup. That did it. I THOUGHT I talked to everybody, but I guess I missed the last one. Thanks!

Well, the thread started out spoilering Tokyo, but not anymore. That's why I'm surprised.
Speaking of Tokyo,
man I love the underground areas, really great in terms of setting a mood with people walking around.

Are you telling me if I didn't kill a certain monster, I could've gone shopping/quested in ikebukuro!? Blah, hope I'm wrong.

I changed my mind with the game. While I still think demon negotiation blows, and the presentation is weak, and the characters and story are boring, the battle system and fusing is still really compelling and manages to be pretty fun. Though I still think it would have been better in third person.

So, the Treasure Room. It's some place I'm supposed to be heading for an early-game challenge mission. I'm looking everywhere in Mikado Castle for it, but it's not showing up on my list of places to visit. Did I miss something?
I believe for that one you have to actually accept the quest from the quest menu before that area will activate.

Already?
Fusion question! I need an Enigma race demon, how do I fuse one? I'm not keen on wasting points for the lingo app, and I don't think I've seen the one I need in the wild anyways. Alternatively, are there any phys null/drain/reflect demons? I only know of one and he hasn't shown up in any combos I try so I must be too low level right now.

I've been playing this a lot. I'm like 30+ hours in.
Also I've been skipping sidequests becasue apparently that helped with getting the neutral path but I got stuck onto the Law path

Level wise you are where you should be (I think) but you are never too safe from one random encounter going totally wrong and wiping you out before you know it. It happening to me where you are currently.

According to the chart in the book, you can't fuse an enigma demon through normal means.

I'm about 3 hours in. Grinding at the moment. I thought grinding was going to give me tons of mecca, but I was wrong. I'm still working on new equipment. I guess they give you a better way at making money.

The primary way to make money is by collecting relics and selling them to the shops. It's harder in the early stages than later.

Yo this thing is awesome. Is every demon in the game listed?

So I didn't get an answer for my question on the last page, I went ahead and picked an option. I plan on playing through all the paths, so potential alignment scenarios aren't terribly important to me.
Battery died so I had to stop as I arrived at the um, third area in Tokyo
. Done for the night sadly, but I guess I'll keep lurking in this thread to live vicariously through you guys and gals still playing.
