        It's the best SMT game 100%., hopefully MetaPhor lives up to it, because from what I see, it's like Persona/DDS slapped together.

        What about it? IV:A is very close behind, and smirk is kino so I can see why you'd prefer it but there's no way that Nocturne's gameplay is better than V's

          I think IVA is slightly better in terms of gameplay but I agree with you otherwise.

          IVA makes you feel like a summoner at the hardest difficulty, I keep swapping out demons with the huge stock you're given in that game

            You're absolutely right, though V does let you swap demons a lot, it takes a while to get all the stock upgrades because you usually have to spend glory on other shit first while in IV:A you can go all in on stock and get max stock at level 20 or earlier. Agility fricking with the turn order is a bit annoying but then again looking at the agility stat of the demons in my stock to figure out which one won't frick up the order is another cool factor

        Only until the halfway point, once he starts spamming Moxagita he's done for since he stops using his -dynes and Dream Raga. If you use the right armor he can't even hit Nanashi due to immunity to the ailments from Venomous Raga.

      Those cheap deaths are really only prevalent on Hard, and the solution is to grind near save points & pump agility so you get ambushed less. Or just play on Normal.
      In my experience, none of the games have been more CBT-tier than fighting Nocturne's Matador except he has an extra press turn, and gets full agility from red capote

        Wait, grinding is intended for once? Nearly every JRPG I play including Persona has just had it as the "make game easy" option. I guess I'll make my next attempt on normal then.

          It's optional, using buffs and debuffs correctly is the only difference between people who beat Nocturne and people who go back to playing Pokemon and stay in their fricking lane.

          Anonymous

          The hardest part of any smt is the start, the further you go the less you need to grind. In Nocturne's case it's because demifiend will start mopping the field on his own.
          Also what the other guy said. You should absolutely be bringing kaja/kunda spells. You can get Fog Breath very early in 3 , which is two stacks of agility down to the entire enemy team per cast. Expensive at that stage of the game, but indispensable.

      It's because level 18 is a magic number in SMT at large. At this point you start getting all the tools and "resist X" becomes available for inheritance. Matador in Nocturne, Minotaur in IV, Sukuna in Final, Rampage Drive in P3 are all around that part and you don't have the maneuvering space to efficiently deal with them yet.

          Anonymous

          First shouldn't be too hard, for whatever reason in my run Ouroboros kept spamming Dekunda so all I had to do was bring a bunch of Agi spammers to outpace her healing; if you're playing Redux this might be fixed (haven't played it yet) but if you're playing OG you just need to buff attack, and spam agi spells. There are a bunch of recruitable neutral-aligned agilao users by this point so even if you aren't fusing you shouldn't have much trouble, that's what I did even though I was law-aligned since there's only one good law-aligned agi user at this part of the game. If you are fusing I think Black Frost's D-source has Agidyne so use that

          If she is attacking instead of spamming Dekunda, then use Tetraja Stones to block Mahama, elec resistance (if possible) to deal with Wild Thunder, maybe debuff her to -3 if she refuses to use Dekunda, and as for Disaster Cycle, you'll just have to deal with that shit if you're not playing Redux. Use the Supple ring to stop protag from dying to stone status, and use items to remove ailments from your demons. Also bring someone with Mediarama (Senri has it, but she's law aligned) and buff defense

      Also use a gun with Armshot to debuff attack if you don't have anyone with Fang Breaker or Tarunda
      Vivian's D-source has Luster Candy as well, so if you're still struggling you can fuse a demon with that which should make the fight ridiculously easy

    Man, it took me 10 years to beat SMT4, because I played the shit out of it when it came out in like 2013, but for some reason I stopped a bit around halfway, before you go to the future/past? Then I came back to it in 2023 and finished it and man was it awesome.
