/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.

>>41655Kowloon High-School Chronicle
It's somewhere between devil summoner era SMT/oldsona and nusona, while being released before p3. Some pretty weird first-person dungeon crawling with some SRPG aspects to it, lots of mythological themeing, dungeon crawling through ancient ruins under a high school where you also have some life sim and dating sim-esque mechanics with other students. I need to get back to playing it
It's part of some wider series involving high schoolers and mythological stuff, I think the original was an SRPG on the PS1, we only got this one and game on the PSP or VIta I think.
>>41665For Megami Tensei 2 at least
>post-apocalypse >you're a vault dweller in your own vault uniform >leave for a Mad Max wasteland>Even get an iconic computer on your arm though here it's after you lose your armpretty crazy fr fr
I remember there was 8bit Japanese demake of Fallout 3 in Flash done in a more Dragon Quest style, when really it already exists as MT2
>>41655baroque wallpaper I made with the manual
>>41681need a dungeon chill episode on this asap
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
>>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
>>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
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.
>>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.
