Lol. I bought every single PS2 SMT game back 2 years ago. I got them for 20 bucks a game. Paid 100 for smt: dds dds2 nocturne raidou 1 and raidou 2. Would it have been cheaper if I bought them online?

[@matteste]

Please share this message with other DDS fans. The novels Quantum Digital Devil Saga will be translated and released to the states. If we see more of them depends how well the first volume fares. For those who don't know. The novels are practically how DDS story was originally meant to be.

[@hajimehinata8926]

You can check the novels another time, you'll do just fine with the games. They're meant to be self-sufficient.

[@dde8721]

​@@kiri8105probably a far fetched theory but since dds 1 and 2 was originally going to be a single game maybe they had prepped only alive (the second game's op) as the theme song, so instead of creating a new one they used a licensed song for the first game and used the one they created for the second one

Tips: 1) Yes to Magic. Elemental Spells can be boosted and amped, so they do more damage. As an example, final boss, Heat (specs Str) was doing 600 damage Executioner, single target. Gale (specs balanced) was doing 700 damage with a Maziodyne, all target. 2) Devour is keyed to Vitality, so don't neglect it. 3) Buy only what you need, don't rely on too many items. Money is rare and important that you need to save as much as you get. 4) Get Ingest Mana, then Chakra Walk as soon as you see them.

[@rurubyn]

love that first few seconds

[@windscar18]

8) Mantra points are actually pretty plentiful if you spend a little time grinding and devouring as many targets as possible. What's more limiting is the amount of money, but it's not too bad for each character to specialize in two elements at least. (Default Element + Opposite Element). If you're willing to grind, you can potentially level up several elements worth of mantras (for example, Gale had Maziodyne, Maragidyne, Mazandyne, and the final Almighty mantras without much work).

[@Persona275]

To find Field Hunt u have to go to a certain area on every dungeon. To get an enemy frightened, u have to hit it's weakness, making hunt skills more effective(gives more damage) when frightened. Well AP Divide and Mutual Karma takes time to obtain those skills and those will be handy for non-reserves(that are not choosed to be in battle).

Better than persona 3 too. Honestly from a standpoint of having no nostalgia bias towards persona 3, 4, and 5, persona 3 is my least favorite. I just didn't enjoy the gameplay parts of it like I did with the others and I didn't really like the characters as much. I'd say I enjoyed dds much more than persona 3.

[@windscar18]

Oh, forgot a last tip. 8) When choosing an element a character should learn, try to learn an element that contains that character's weakness. For example, Serph is weak to Fire, so Serph should learn Fire Mantras. Towards the end of the games, Elemental Mantras will give a corresponding Resist, which will allow you to negate a character's weakness. Very important on later bosses.

[@animalchemist]

[@Persona275]

YAY!!! LL you're the best. tip: Field hunt: under time limit, keep on slicing purple things until u find a Ara Mitama, hit it and engaged in a battle. Ara Mitamas are weak against ice, if one is frightened use the hunt skill (devour , comsume) to gain a huge atma points to master matamaga easily so u can learn new skills. Also make sure u party members have AP divide auto skill so they all gain Atma points and have mutual karma auto skill so they level up without being in battle.

Hmm, gameplay-wise and graphics-wise. It's very similar, although the gameplay is A LOT more forgiving. Do not take that to mean easier. However, it's probably more similar to a mainstream RPG, since fusion isn't used, but rather customization is based on mantra (similar to the magatama system from Nocturne, but they don't affect stats/resistances, but you keep all skills you learn and can assign them anytime)

5) Every party member should know at least two Ma~ spells for the elements and corresponding boosts/amps, if possible. This will become a little hard towards the end of the game, but it's a good goal. 6) You will grind. Get used to it. 7) Carry Dis-Aches and/or learn Iron Stomach quickly. Ache is horribly ridiculously annoying, but Iron Stomach may not be worth a Skill Slot. Anyway, it's been a while since I played DDS, so my tips may be a little outdated. It's a fun game though ^^.

1) It's your call, but I find it easier to take 2 Magic, 1 Vit per level, on occasion leveling up 2 Vit, 1 Magic. It's more of a style thing though. 2) Devour (and Hunt skills) deal damage based on Vitality, not Strength like other Physicals.
