/smt/ general #1 - Schwarzwelt edition
What's hidden at the South Pole is the Schwarzwelt, which is a world comprised of alternate dimensions inhabited my demons. The Schwarzwelt is connected to humanity's abuse of nature. As long as humans harm the environment, the Schwarzwelt can not be removed from reality.
https://smtgen.neocities.org/starter_guideThread question: Do you prefer the DS or 3DS version of Strange Journey? Why?
>>41655baroque wallpaper I made with the manual
>>41681need a dungeon chill episode on this asap
>>41731nta but I bought that game and haven't played yet, how is it compared to (K)MT 1&2?
>>41747Never played MT 1&2, but TADA's closest dungeon crawling equivalent is probably Strange Journey, since it has traps and the like. It also has a Magnetite-like mechanic, in the form of batteries. You can also opt for traditional negotiation if Bullet Hell isn't your thing.
>>42004That sounds sick, I need to get to it eventually
i hope this thread stays
thanks /smtg/ for letting me know this site exists
>>41458It's probably about as japanese imperialism apologist as the average japanese is, so a little bit
>>42088Me too, kinda wished it lived more.
>>42106This thread was nice, ignore the bickering on /smtg/. 4cucks seethe whenever this site is mentioned so I hope they don't treat as a boogeyman. Don't know if I should continue dumping my autism here or there, it's funny to see some people shit on this place while you're initiating on-topic discussion
And yeah Raidou is apologist, which is better than full blown endorsement at least. It has some rose colored views of the Taisho era as more peaceful and free, but that's a common Japanese viewpoint
>>42110The bitching on 4chan /smtg/ about people coming here at all is hilarious
>>42106but wait how did you find out about this site if 4chan was already down?
Where do I begin if I want to play this? Are any of the 16-bit games decent?
>>42115The 16 bit era games are solid. My personal recs for getting into the franchise are starting with SMT IV for mainline and Persona 3 for the Persona spinoffs. Go anywhere from there.
>>42115Just play SMTIII and see if you like it
>>42115Short answer: Unironically anywhere really. Most games are self contained and do their own thing, besides sequels like IV → IVA or I -> II
Longer one: It's controversial to say, but IV is a good introduction. Just realize that the first dungeon is really fucking long, but that's only the beginning of the game. Some people don't like the Smirk+Press Turn system, but I think getting fucked by it just makes it more rewarding when you do it right.
Nocturne was a lot of people's first foray into mainline back in the day, but it was basically a soft reboot and purposely meant to break a lot of series traditions. IV, for better and for worse, takes a lot from people expect out of a traditional SMT.
If you want more classic dungeon crawling, try Strange Journey. Which version depends on how hard you want it to be.
If you want the SNES experience, the GBA remake of SMT 1 is a good one, just note that the GBA fucks up the music.
Hell try Devil Survivor
I wish 4chan felt as good to post on as leftypol, I still prefer this general to the one on 4chan.
>>421714chan is alright if you stick to the slower places and talk to people who stay on topic. Kind of like with any other site. You're not going to go anywhere on the internet these days without shitposting anymore. This thread is fine, it's just 4chan gets more traffic so if you want to talk to someone you go where the people are. When people were talking about alternate sites to run to several people mentioned fujochan as an option but it's even deader. Despite the fact it stays on topic and has fast loading times like here it always comes down to traffic. I think compared to 8ch if 4chan comes down again I would come here first. And that's not because the Atlus general there was particularly terrible despite getting kind of shitposty towards the end and the regulars leaving us alone for the most part, 8ch as a whole has major problems like blackouts, needing to switch servers all the time, horrible loading times, and a captcha somehow worse than 4ch's. This site has none of that and /pol/ pretty much stays on /pol/. And I know some people say "muh IDs" but frankly I don't think IDs really help contain shitposting all that much. It's trivial to change your IP if you really want to derail a thread.
>>42197I'm 100% in agreement
>>42197I can't handle how much they talk about trans shit in ever thread.
Every general I went on last time I was there they just could not stop bringing it up and derailing the thread
>>42209Memes and humor to them are saying transhumanist and uyghur every third word
>>42206Screaming transhumanist in every thread is the le funny meme even if there is no reason to even say it. I added it to my filter on 4chanx long ago. So when I see a thread with at least half of it hidden I know there is nothing of quality there.
Bought a new 3DS recently after my old one finally shit the bed. Planning on playing devil survivor. When I was in high school I remember emulating the ds version on my phone and having a lot of fun with it but I hated playing on a phone and lost interest when I found out overclocked existed.
>>42206Shit is almost comical with how pervasive it is. Roguelike general? Complaining about trans people. Fighting games? trans people. Gamedev general? Take a guess. I want to believe it's just bots.
>>42219Overclocked is my favorite Megaten game because of the small changes made to the game like the compendium. Enjoy Comrade!
>>42267I love how Pixie became the iconic first demon
>>42171I guess I should post on here more. I get kinda paranoid and don't want them to recognize me as a crossposter, I can't possibly post
>>42018 on there anymore
>>42197100% disagree(didn't finish reading)
>>42287She's one of the first demons you see in SMT 1, and of course she's agreed upon as part of demifiend's "canon" demon party, if not the only accepted demon he "canonically" has.
Before her, Cerberus was almost like a pre-Jack Frost mascot for the series. It was Nakajima's demon, and SMT 1 Hero's dog turns into it.
For me though, Mokoi is the early level demon I think deserves mascot tier appreciation. He's kinda part of Raidou's party in cutscenes and the manga.
>>42294Good golly ms molly those hips would cause a pileup
>>42293>100% disagree(didn't finish reading)Then your hate for the site is too strong. I don't blame you but I've found small communities and made life long friends there that aren't schizos. I don't think that should disappear just because the site is overrun with tourists shitting up the place. It not like 4chan going down will make any difference. The shit posters there are already posting everywhere else.
>>42505I think I still like the in game version more.
>>42418Depends on how much macca you give him
Neutral-Chaos
Dead board
Debisama translation when?
>>43914but we had Soul Hackers 2! Jokes aside I don't think Soul Hackers 2 was that bad.
>>43914Doesn't make money unfortunately
