Shin Megami Tensei IV

[ZenErik]

You're much more of a risk taker than me! I've run into some demon domains with lvl75 bosses and just reset the game immediately.

[MrPopo]

Well, I had saved before going into the domain, then had a save outside the boos room in my second file. Each time I died I'd go and grind and fuse a little more, until I had Rakunda and Tarunda. SMT games reward the bold who are willing to exploit the system. The first level is hitting elemental weakness. But the next level is utilizing buffs and debuffs.

[ZenErik]

Yea, I get that. And I love that aspect. But I've enjoyed grinding a little too much. Don't even have to do that at the moment. I still DO when I can, of course. Earlier in the game I would learn a boss' weakness and then die, andnd then learn from that and develop a strategy to take em down. But then I had too much fun leveling and was about 12 levels above the latest boss I faced. Sooo... My bad.

Why is there such a big delay between NA an PAL releases? It's the same translated version of the game. More importantly, why did Nintendo region lock the 3DS when none of their earlier handhelds had that?

Can't play this game before September 19

It's part of Japan's long term goal to depopulate Europe by giving them incentive to immigrate to America. Once enough people have left Japan can buy up all the land and create a series of Gundam factories.

I know that it's a relatively new game with over 400 demons, but has anyone found a fusion guide online anywhere? I'm trying to get as many fusions as I can (that's what I've spent literally all day doing).

[MrPopo]

Level 40, just finished the last boss listed in the guide, just over 100 magic, agi, and 60 luc.

I just finished that...at Level 99...with three Level 99 demons...I may or may not have definitely bought the grind-tastic DLC. I'm a bad person, I know....I almost regret it. Almost.

Are you having fun at least? Even if you did break the game.

Here are my current stats doing things the legit way:
Lvl55
St 30
Dx 126
Ma 24
Ag 115
Lu 115

Trying to go the neutral path, if possible. So far the cynical seems to indicate that I am in the neutral range, but I am trying to save every time before I hit potential questions/events that could lean me one way or the other.

I've still done every challenge quest so far. Defeated a lvl75 demon domain boss or two as well. Things are going smoothly, and I love this game. My GotY so far. If nothing better comes out and if I enjoy the rest of the game. Lots of 'ifs', haha.

Hey, Atlus broke the game, not me. And of course I'm having fun; I play the game for the story as much as I do for anything else.
