Shin Megami Tensei IV

[MrPopo]

Was it much harder than SMTIV? The last two bosses in this game were a joke. First try on both without even coming close to dying. Definitely want to replay on hard someday.

SJ definitely has harder final bosses than IV did.

Medusa... wasn't expected another hard boss fight so soon after the Minotaur. I've got four characters hitting her with Force attacks, so 8 hits. And she's still wrecking me.

I think I beat her first try. Maybe second. Can't remember. Honestly don't remember what the strategy was. She charms your party?

It took me a few tries to beat her. I just kept hitting her with Force until she died. After a long time.

[noiseredux]

yeah I'm not sure why this is a hard battle for me. Like I said, all four are using Force (as opposed to my only one who used Bufu against the Minotaur). Although sometimes it feels luck is involved, like if she hits a critical and then grins, y'know? Anyway, I didn't get as much time to play last night as I had hoped. I'm sure I'll take her out tonight.

Makes me want to play Strange Journey. Still haven't, but I hear the story was better in that one.

Where'd you year that? Strange Journey doesn't really have much of a story. Strange Journey is more about the dungeon crawling, akin to the Etrian Odyssey series.

I seriously hate to admit this publicly, but I'm seriously considering to switching to Easy at this point. I don't even give a fuck what you guys think. I've spent 5 or 6 hours on Medusa the last few days. Either getting brutalized by her proper, or grinding near her. It's just insane. I mean, I love this game - but knowing I'm only (at best) a third of the way through the game, there's definitely something appealing to me (knowing my limited time and the fact that other games exist) about having a difficulty that's more manageable so I can see it progress again.

When it comes to video games my philosophy is: "Play it however the hell you wish."

You're supposed to be having fun, after all, not frustrating yourself.

But we'll all secretly think that Noise is a wiener.
