You guys should do the same.

But seriously, I should be getting kicked from IRC whenever I start my bot.

Not see that there were 6 new posts since I shut down my computer 18 hours ago.


To give this thread a purpose, how's life for you guys?

For some reason, that sounds pretty darn awesome. Aside from the pain.

As for pain related stuff, my right thumb hurts for no reason at all.

Holy carp.

I don't think I could do half of it. My feet (yes, feet) are wayyyyy too weak that.

I'd rather bike.

Server info is: irc.badnik.net #xeogaming

But yeah, the Applet is pretty old. But it probably isn't loading because of your security settings. Not that it matters, using a real client is much better anyway.

Yeah, Eden of the East is awesome. I've watched the series + the first movie. Unsure if the second movie is out, but I know it isn't subbed right now.

FPSRussia is awesome as a whole.

If you look at his channel, he shoots all kind of guns. So I guess he's just used to it.

"What?", most of you must be thinking this. I wouldn't surprised, as this series isn't quite well known.

For those of you who know what SMT is, this is going to refer to both the main series (Nocturne, etc) and its spinoffs.


So, what is SMT? It is a series of RPG. Turn based, for the most part. So you might be thinking "not another boring turned based RPG".

Nope, not this one. In a nutshell, I'd say that most SMT games are "very dark themed Pokemon games". Not that it's very much like Pokemon, but you do have hundreds of monsters you can get in each game. More on that later.

So... dark themed? Very much so. Happiness usually doesn't last long in these games. I'll also get on that later.

So, on the gameplay. I'll focus on the core gameplay, which is more or less shared by most SMT games.

You generally get to control 4 characters (or monsters, or both) against enemies. Then enters the "Press Turn" system (and it's variants). Each character (or enemy) has a single action. However, if you attack and hit someone with its weakness or get a critical, you'll get an additional action. In some games, you can repeat this process if you do the same against different foes (basically, hit monster 1 with weakness -> additionnal action, hit monster 2 -> another action, etc). Obviously, they can do the same to you.

With such a system, you won't always be able to win by mashing X a bunch of times. In fact, you'll have to do some work, try to cover your weaknesses, get magic to hit the enemies' weaknesses. You'll also have to choose how you use your magic. I'll see to get videos of that, a bit later on. Oh, and your main character dying = game over.

Seems simple, but the battle system makes these games quite good already.

But it's not all. I'll admit SMT isn't known for having the best plots, it's not that bad. But I'll go over that while I talk a bit about individual games.

But now: the music. I'll even make a separate thread for this. Shoji Meguro is a god. That is all.

On to the individual games (those I've played at least):

SMT3: Nocturne
What it is known for: In the past, it was known for its rarity and high price on eBay (but it has dropped with re-issues). It is also known for its difficulty.

I'm not lying. That thing's hard mode is unforgiving. The first battle has a 50% chance of killing you, by the way.

System: Press Turn System, maximum of two actions for any character (boss or some specials have/grant more). Get monsters to join your party, fuse them to get new monsters (and new skills)

What it is about: In most games, you fight to save the world. Not in this one. Within 10 minutes of a new game, the world is destroyed. It's up to you to remake it as you see fit. Six different endings depending on your allignement. Not much to the plot, lots of dungeon crawling.

Digital Devil Saga
What it is known for: out of all SMT spinoffs, it is one of the closest to a "true" SMT. Digital Devil Saga 2 is also know for having one of the hardest bonus boss of all times.

System: Press Turn System, once again. Party is much more like a traditionnal RPG, but can train your characters in any skill tree. In DDS2, characters have their human form and their demon form (and half-demon, but that's something you can't choose). You can devour other demons to gain strenght.

What it is about: Hard to talk about without any spoilers, since DDS2 is a sequel.

Persona 3
What it is known for: kinda beginning friendly, 'dark' story. Social link system.

System: battle system is what I was describing earlier. You aren't limited to a single if you keep hitting weaknesses on different monsters. But as a whole, this game comes with a twist. You have two phases: day and night. During the day, you'll go to school, spend time with people, do a bunch of stuff. This part is kinda dating sim-like. Not that you'll do a whole bunch of dating. But still, your main character has a bunch of stats related to his social life. This is the Social Link System. The more S-Links you have, and the higher their level, the better. S-Links allow you to be stronger for the RPG part.

So, as you can guess, night is where you will fight (if you desire). At night you can go in a dungeon called "Tartarus" (the only dungeon, but has 200+ floors). Each character has a Persona, which is kinda like a monster. Characters will summon them to use magic, or any skill. Each Persona has a skill set, their weakness and strength to elements. Main character can have more than one, switch in-battle. Again, for the main character, you'll be able to fuse Personas. That way, they can inherit skills, you can get better ones too. You'll spend quite a bit of time trying to figure out what Persona you want, and what skills you want it to have.
In all versions of P3 (aside from PSP), you only control your main character, AI controls the others (you can give them 'strategies' to follow).

What it is about: There are quite a few versions of the game, but basically: dating sim at day and RPG at night.

Persona 4
See Persona 3, but you can control all characters. Different plot, and it's not a direct sequel, so you can play it as stand-alone.

Devil Summoner
I only know about the Raidou ones, but they aren't turn based. Bit harder to explain, and this post is getting quite long already.


Sooooooooo.... why this thread? More people need to know of SMT, and if you happen to like JRPGs but are tired of those damn generic games, SMT is the way to go.

I honestly haven't see that many people who would recognize SMT. If anything, it's definitely not a big title. Not in North America, at least.

Speaking of mobile...

I'm doing a paper on major smartphone OSes right now.

A.k.a Apple bashfest.

Persona 3: FES and Persona 4 probably are the easiest to find. And FES is really cheap (I think it cost me $30).

There's also the PSP versions, if you want to try it out.

I'm afraid I'm rather disgusted.

Especially since they throw around "black" "white" everywhere.

I mean, shit, first few pages is the whole "black victim" mentality, which is the most retarded shit ever.

"as a black mother" WHAT FUCKING DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE. STOP SAYING "I'm black". GOD DAMMIT.

This girl is so freaking racist, it's not even possible. And I'm on page 7, for fucks sake.
Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145
