SMT 4 is Pokemon for Red Pilled People (real)

The first time I saw the picture of Flynn smirking I went sheet white and gripped my chest. Don't bother trying to tell me what it's from, I can't be convinced it's real, i won't believe you that it's real.
Sorry this took forever, I couldn't figure out what I was trying to say in what would have been a whole 10 minute segment of the video. The title/thumbnail feel less relevant without the removed chunk but they're also funny and relevant to parts of the plot (that I didn't talk about).
I'll turn the hunk of the script I carved off into it's own video at some point.

Also, on first playthrough, I thought the setting was going to be just "post-apocalypse fantasy" with all of the forgotten technology and modern references (don't forget Isabeau reading a manga which is totally "Rose of Versailles"). Something like the animated movie "Wizards". I totally wasn't expecting modern Tokyo still working fine 'underground', well, as fine as they can when the world had a nuclear war back in the '80s but they got magically trapped under a stone dome along with all the demons summoned with technology. I also now prefer "mystic script" over "moon runes" for Japanese text now.

The music will always make SMT better. IV and now V have great sound direction that makes the combat which can be quite slow feel way faster. For IV this is especially true. The combat feels way faster and more action packed than it might be. Edit: Smirking was definitely improved in Apocalypse, but I still don't hate it even in IV.

This game had such a good world. Its the only rpg where I wanted to listen to the npcs in everyroom talk. I even returned to the baker to see if he ever got anything after he introduced us to literature. People are mentioning the follow up. Liked the story way less, but enjoyed being able to pick a npc helper. Navarre wound up being my main helper. I hate using turns to buff and he fit my playstyle. The pass pro shop was supreme.

[@RagnellAvalon]

SMT4A is really interesting. I don't know if I'd necessarily call it good or even say I enjoyed it (there's also one really boneheaded thing in the late game that kind of puts me off it), but as an experiment in "SMT but it's a shonen", I think it's a worthwhile experience.

[@GLA55MA5TER]

i think the reason why the demon death animations bug out on emulators is because of the 3D feature on the 3ds. Everybody stopped giving a shit about 3D view on the 3ds, but it seems like smt iv utilized it quite a lot, since the game's cutscenes and battles feature 2D images that are supposed to pop out more with the 3D turned on.

[@ImPyroChad]

So story: I first played SMT IV around the spring of 2020 and the only reason I did so was because I had grown discontent with the newest Pokemon games at the time, For the rest of the year I was investing every bit of free time I had into the game and then some just because of how hard the game had me by the balls. I had previously played and enjoyed Nocturne but not to the degree I did IV, and especially to the point that it turned my discontent with Pokemon into borderline malignment. Ever since then this stupid 3ds Atlus rpg has become my gold standard for turn combat RPGs and I have a feeling it will be a long time before that changes.

[@goatles9423]

Being dissatisfied with modern Pokemon is exactly how I got into this series too. You love to see it

[@KrankuSama]

I got super annoyed with the emulation fucking up the transparency as well as the general crispness of some of the cutscenes so I did hack the 3ds and play it on real hardware and it makes a difference. That said the emulated version has the capability to use a HD texture pack, it's kinda just waifu2x UI elements but it looks good actually

Man, it's unfortunate that SMT Apocalypse makes a great effort to balance smirk and instant death attacks. It also greatly improves the partner system by allowing you to choose who goes in to battle.

IV is more SMT than Nocturne and V (which has sense since Nocturne was thought as something different and "unique" for the series) and that's why I like it more. I mean, the post apocalyptic world is more alive, having different people here and there struggling for different reasons, with different associations with different ideals, I know that's still present in III and kinda in V. But having (more) humans in place of just demons makes it more credible and immersive. I like the idea of the conflict between humankind and demons/gods in the same scenario too. It's one of the things that makes me appreciate this series, along with those cyberpunk aesthetics and concepts Nocturne and V lack. I'd really appreciate if they come back to that I, II and IV offer in a hypothetical SMT VI. I still love III and V to death tho. SMT is still SMT. Gameplay, music, challenge, ideologies presentation are still top tier. My only issue with them is that dessertic approach to "the end of the world" and the kind of plot that comes with it. I don't dislike it I just prefer original SMT kind of world.

[@VonFirflirch]

Is there really a problem with the Neutral bias? I didn't feel like getting very far, but I remember the english patch of SMT1 I played had an early NPC outright saying "don't let either side gain too much power", so I take it the series always wanted you to go Neutral.

[@ils4844]

@@VonFirflirch Yeah the first game says that and it's fine and all. Since that's what that game's neutral route literally does unlike future ones. Anyways this is something to heckin' lol at since SMTII decided to conclude with the interesting outlook that LAW is what things should lead to, at least in terms of that game's writing and storytelling and amount of content present per route (the game in the dev's words is quite literally law themed after all). Yes YHVH gets shafted in that route, no it's not the only law route in the series which does this. Actually most do kick him to the curb anyways. Even IV's does which makes it a better candidate for a replacement ending than Chaos if neutral wasn't an option lol. I'm digressing at this point kinda though. Anyways to bring things back unfortunately with SMTIV onwards neutral essentially has just been treated as "How would our political/personal beliefs which go against the standard of attempts at altruism or full on anarchy would be BETTER than either of those?" So of course it's written as it's the intended path because it's what the devs want, but not in a good way since it quite literally comes at the expense of the quality of the other routes. Usually their answer is "HEY screw both sides trying to make new ground! Let's just go back to the old days because it's not like there's anything wrong with our society currently!" Which if you agree with this whole idea, then I'd certainly have to ask if you've been living under a rock for the past several decades. This in turn also leads to weird writing choices such as law being composed of fascist trying to push an altruistic regime and chaos as always being the "misunderstood" bad guys despite it literally being composed of warlords, tyrants, the actual devil etc. Who just want to wreak havoc under the false promise of "freedom." On another note, if SMTV is any indication, neutral is SO hilariously fencesitting in a certain sense that it encourages the genocide and destruction of other races and cultures. With the whole grandiose "Let's just kill all the demons!" Plotpoint. Which in the franchise demons are fundamentally the culmination of the ideas of people, beliefs, emotions and cultures given physical form. IVA did something similar yes but the writing wasn't so bad to the point where everything was incredibly vague, and it was written as if the demons were instead becoming free from the views and ideas which put them together in the first place. Which has a different sound to it than just "genocide." Ofc this is all because of V's rushed development and whatnot, (meanwhile IV's case of pandering to neutral had to do with it being a throwback at least so thats its excuse), so Atlus still has more chances in their bag obviously. But as with most other Atlus fans at this point I unfortunately obviously fear the worst for the future of it. That's due to multiple factors of course for everyone but for me at least the upcoming Soul Hackers 2 isn't one of them.

The inclusion of those few exceptionally-out-there-looking demons, like the stop motion basket guy, really does sell the mishmash of styles imo.

Don't have much drive to revisit it nowadays, though, Apocalypse is pretty much this game and then some, provides some kind of Smirk fix, the game doesn't stop being tough two bosses in, you actually reach the level cap making every demon accessible to you unlike other SMT games I've played, etc. That said, I really don't like how the endings in these games are barely any more satisfying than saving Peach in your average Mario game, which kind of stings after 80 hours of a harder than average RPG. Sometimes I wish they'd drop the alignement system and focus on having only one ending/path that's fully realised (not like there isn't often a route with more meat/attention anyway)

Man this was such an entertaining review, great video

[@c9bepis939]

always hyped as hell to hear anybody talk about my favorite series, and smtIV especially. banger video, i liked the part where you talked.

[@elbow_thief8446]

Amazing video as always, my favorite part had to be the one where jack frost gets launched into the upper stratosphere and lands in the security camera footage dimension.

[@Noctfrej]

the editing is nuts. I love it!

[@SNAKEMEAT]

Another fucking banger video. I'm so glad you covered SMT IV as its one of my favorite 3DS games of all time and what I would consider an absolute staple for anyone who owns a 3DS or is into the SMT/Persona franchise in general.

Awesome video, up next smt strange journey. Keep it up and greetings from Venezuela

[@m.s.e.advanced2842]

I saw your SMT 3 video when I was finishing up Nocturne and now I'm seeing this as I start 4, you're editing and humor are as good as the story and gameplay of the games you've covered

[@sdgundum990]

First video I've watched of yours. I love the editing.

[@Ghost-uu8lb]

[@audiosurfarchive]

I'm loving the baseball gags; that's just a small part of your excellent coverage and editing.
