the beginning of the game is notoriously difficult, but it gets a lot easier once you get out of naraku!

[@Vajrapani108]

If you exploit the press turn system, it's easy. If your enemy expolites it instead, it's hard

[@seanplaysgames2551]

mine was nocturne and while it was hard af at the start, once i finished nocturne i was abusing the press turn system so much that it seemed illegal, i love this franchise so much, i actually just finished smt4 as my second mainline SMT after nocturne!

@zeroderorero3948 I hated negotiating at first when I started. It was kind of hard to tell what some guys wanted you to say at first and, of course, they can just take your stuff and run, the greedy bastards. Thankfully, I'm familiar with the personalities of a few of those guys. Seems like the best way to recruit new guys is to give them maybe one item they ask for, and then keep refusing until End Talks pops up. They seem to like people with a backbone who knows when to say no.

@@stiriann haha ad my first smt game it definitely gave me a run for my money. It was hard to scout the first few demons but after that things kind of got more on track

[@stiriann]

to be honest i'd kinda prefer the tough love treatment at first in these games :D it makes it feel better once you're finally getting stronger, since there's a more clear improvement you can see!

[@earthboundisawsome]

@@stiriann oh I definitely enjoyed it. I love the challenge I just crossed a line between geting wrecked by bosses to not having to think about them. I decided to go for a dx/gun/healer build on Flynn. Very few things so far have countered gun so it's kind of just a funny build. I feel like the devs focused more on elemental balance which I've for the most part just ignored.

[@stiriann]

i dunno if you've watched my playthrough of smt iv at all, but i focused on a gun flynn purely for the comedy aspect of flynn having a gun 😂 there was one boss that was a clear attack towards my entire existence though but to be fair i could've gone back to raise some more fitting demons for that encounter if i wasn't so stubborn 😅

For context, is the 3DS port of SMT 4 worth tracking down since I’m considering looking into the mainline SMTs depending on how SMT 5 Vengeance turns out and hearing the B2 boss theme a couple of weeks back?

[@PluckyJackson]

Smt iv is not a port, it was made for and released on only the 3ds. But yes, its definitely worth playing. Although you may want to hack your 3ds instead of hunting down a cartidge depending on your region as it can be pricey

[@phoney4258]

@@PluckyJacksonThanks. Kinda surprised that a mainline SMT game is only available on the 3DS then again I probably should not have been that surprised considering that SMT 5 was only on the Switch until recently.

[@PluckyJackson]

@phoney4258 yeah, unfortunately most smt and persona games had been locked to one console until very recently. P4g on vita, smt 3 on ps2, strange journey on ds, etc. Thankfully atlus is starting to get behind porting stuff to pc and other consoles more now. But Iv, iv apocalypse, strange journey, and the devil survivor games are tricky being ds/3ds games as they were designed for systems with 2 screens. You pretty much need to play them on 3ds (or emulate but it's buggy) but they are all very worth playing!
