[@StickmanSham]

i don't post a lot of SMT content on here but I've used music from the franchise a lot in my time; recently finished off a Hard TDE run of Nocturne (Chronicle version) with the new mods that have been coming out for it recently like 60 FPS, so here's a compilation of all the Nocturne Moments that happened over the course of the playthrough you can watch the full playthrough over at kzbin.info/aero/PLqXvBjCOY-kvaS51dxkzu-mQnfnIyx71-

[@jaxet.rasaid]

Honestly, dude, post more SMT. Kingdom Hearts and SMT kinda fit in the same lore/game archetype, and I think a lot of people would also be down for it.

[@StarHakurei]

Popping in to say, I hope you post more SMT content in the future 👏 gonna enjoy slowly watching the full playthrough in my spare time

[@SuperLegendOf364]

I don't know why man, but Demi Fiend's death animation is one of the funniest things ever. Especially when you're not the one playing.

[@meathir4921]

He just face plants.

[@fortidogi8620]

Its like the family guy death collapse

[@o0Hidden0o]

It’s infinitely funnier if you’ve been goofed by the same thing and you get to watch it happen to someone else.

"ooooh... I dieeed!" -Fiend, Demi

[@FAILEDSTANDINGSCHOOL]

“There is no God.” Gee, I wonder who did that one.

[@thatfish3951]

The AI viciously targeting Sham because it knows it can win the battle quickly that way is hilarious

[@kosmosXcannon]

Hold on, only we are allowed to focus fire on enemies.

[@UltimaPhoenix-dx3kt]

For those who were not there, Lucifer took a grand total of 3 full streams to die, multiple team revisions, and a lot of time grinding Chronicle Lucifer is no joke

[@HyperAmiNanashi]

Whoa jeez that's one hell of a boss. I assume this was also done on Hard too.

This is a certified Nocturne Moment.

[@The_Pikaboi]

I love Lucifers basic attack animation so much "I choose YOU to die"

[@omnipotent9148]

Nearly half this video is just Lucifer, that's how bs Chronicle Lucifer is

[@lulukomadori9651]

3:11 i love that anytime they could've iron claw you but decided to let you think you're fine after 1 more magic attack

“There is no god” he said while fighting the devil

[@unown9059]

As someone who just got the TDE ending last Sunday, I can tell that the game is like this.

[@JokerExecution]

2:01 I can't stop laugh 😂😂😂

[@OsiPopz]

I love how the seemingly lighthearted "uh oh" at the start turned into a very personal sounding "fuck you" at the end. 😂

[@Weeaboogod_]

This is indeed a nocturne moment

[@jaxet.rasaid]

a.k.a. thank you shin megami tensei nocturne

[@livenishikireaction]

kingdom hearts 2 has screwed us again!

[@IosLocarth]

You know whenever people talk about SMT memes about how the game can just kill you and there's nothing you can do about it, I hope people realize that it's only actually just this game because oh boy was this not designed to give you a fair challenge

[@cryguy0000]

I dunno, I fought Minotaur in SMT IV and that felt like luck whether or not I'd win

[@IosLocarth]

@@cryguy0000 that one is mostly on whether or not you get Walter as your companion but the rest of the game stops being bullshit like that

[@kichiroumitsurugi4363]

​@@IosLocarth Medusa in IV is 300 times worse than Minotaur. Ose at the Shinjuku Terminal is also god awful

[@IosLocarth]

@@kichiroumitsurugi4363 I honestly don't really remember too much about either of them because at that point you have enough options to be prepared for just about anything the game throws at you. And between that and saving anywhere plus buying a continue with Macca or Play Coins even if you get extremely shitty deaths it's not as punishing for something outside your control

[@kichiroumitsurugi4363]

@Flaming Gilgamesh Not true for Medusa in IV - Gun resistance is hardly available, no demons have immunity to Elec, and Bind ailment is extremely crippling. It's an RNG fest, plain and simple

[@theone825]

opening with the bird was the only way to do this

@@StickmanSham great minds think alike

[@StarlightMagician]

Dude sounds so calm, yet so done with this game's bs. After playing the HD version, I more than understand the pain.

[@Ryan91487]

The whole personality is the mentality of somebody so deep in the Mainline Megami Tensei rabbithole or in the case of this video: Kalpahole. People go in expecting a game like Persona after having played P3-P5 as their first taste of Atlus' games and then come out of it all as hardened RPG veterans to learn to expect bullshit deaths and prepare far more accordingly.

[@dragonredux]

Root of Evil (90%) + Attack (Crit) + Attack on Demi Fiend is how I died on my first on this fight. I'm still salty about to this day,

[@patrickripleyiii134]

Lol the lucifer fight is literally just whether or not he wants you dead that turn

[@BlackZeroEX]

“There is no god” Of course not you killed it 😂

[@Verdant_Weru]

I remember fusing a piece of paper and another piece of paper just to get a god of thunder as an accident.

[@MugenHeadNinja]

Note to self and anyone else, never say anything out loud or even *think* anything about Nocturne while playing Nocturne, it will hear you, it will punish you for your insolence.

[@AeroWraith901]

Nocturne is truly a game of masochism

[@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32]

A good reminder why i didn't play hard mode in nocturne period. The fact you're not permitted to run actually killed me at the thought of trying

[@lukemorgan6166]

The entire first section relies solely on luck Literal definition of shit design

[@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32]

​@lukemorgan6166 literally all they would have had to do was give the player a pity enduring soul you can only use in the tutorial section for hard mode. ...that's all it takes, he'll they could even lock it to a death count or something

[@JohnDoe-vv9zp]

@@lukemorgan6166also the beginning section of smt 4 was bad

[@Manavine]

​@@JohnDoe-vv9zpthe beginning section of smt4 was bad, yes. I think SMT3's hard mode beginning is a perfect "tutorial" in this case. It makes it clear that screwing around will definitely get you killed and sometimes, to be blunt, perfect action will still result in you dying. Sets the tone of the path ahead of you on a meta level. You didn't sign up for the intended experience. You signed up for hard. SMT3 gives you hard.

[@amaterasumaster8781]

​​@@Manavine thing is, there's a difference in that statement when the game is intended to be hard vs shitty design choices such as not even getting a single turn in, in an encounter makes it more unfair/artificial difficulty than just straight up hard

[@dmas7749]

me: i wonder why i haven't finished a SMT game SMT:

[@masterseal0418]

SMT3 Nocturne will always be an RPG that punishes you at any point in your playthrough.

[@DimarisPlays]

7 minutes of pain, hours of progress lost.

[@Mightyhappy11]

I feel you man, at every moment.you can feel the emotions

[@leon2550]

[@Nosfera22]

Next time I play an SMT game I definitely need to make sure I have quicksave

[@Young_Link_.0]

"Thank you Shin Megami Tensei 3 nocturne!"-Some old guy that was in a ad I dunno.

[@shlemekian]

7 and a half minutes of pain. captured it well

[@BAIGAMING]

Great work! Lucifer gave you a tough time. You're finished with him now of course, but my best strategy was to balance out buffs and debuffs. Because Lucifer will often dekaja + High King or dekunda + High King (or root of evil which is dekaja too). But he can't ever do dekaja + dekunda + High King, there's no move that can remove buffs and debuffs at once like Silent Prayer in later games. The issue is that in Nocturne you have Debilitate to debuff everything on the boss, but you don't have Luster Candy in this game to buff everything at once, so I'd usually do Rakukaja to raise defense to survive Lucifer. It's like you said, this version of him is harder, he has 100k+ HP instead of 65k because he'll do a scripted mediarahan once during the battle. Great work beating hard mode.

[@blastmole299]

The best way for the buff/debuff is +2 for your team and -2 for the enemies, but some bosses will still use it cause the randomized AI or designed to do use it when there's any like Metatron

[@NucleaRaptor]

[@ncik7174]

I enjoyed the highlights. I’m not too familiar with SMT but still got to experience some nocturne moments in a condensed format. Thanks!

[@LazyVanny]

I love people playing SMT 3 makes all my deaths in previous runs feel less tragic. SMT 3 where God is dead, we killed him and then we instantly get KOED by random bullshit. Still my favorite game from Atlus.

I remember how annoying it was that Metatron is such a pain in the ass to fuse for (costs a fuckton of Macca and is time consuming), but Michael, who was one of the demons needed to get Metatron, was low-key better than Metatron is as a party member.

[@MegaRazor619]

wait what makes Chronicle more difficult than Maniax? Do they tweak the AI somehow?

​@@StickmanSham And the latter is now universal in Nocturne HD, I'm pretty sure

[@StickmanSham]

@@kichiroumitsurugi4363 actually, they retained lucifer's hard mode behavior on the Maniax mode, none of that insane shit happens if you have the Dante DLC its pretty impressive, not only did Atlus mostly retain the balancing of Maniax and Chronicle, but on PC you can also experience Nocturne Vanilla (no fiends or TDE)
