Buffs/debuffs are your friend. You'll probably find that out early on in the game. Also fusion is important. The same things from IV pretty much apply here. Also when you're about to level up, equip the magatama (?) that is moving to obtain a skill. Otherwise you'll be leveling up without gaining new skills.
Nocturne isn't a lot harder than SMT IV. In fact the main series isn't as hard as people say (can't speak for SMT II since that's the one I have yet to play!).
Talking here is a bit different, you have to give demons stuff and they might join you. Sometimes they might ask you a thing or two but it's way more simple than in other games from the series.
Play it like you did with SMT IV and you will be fine. There is a certain boss at the beggining that is sort of a "begginer's trap". Let us know if you where able to beat it in the first try!

In IV, I leveled up my MC to basically be a mage, but I've read that that's a really bad idea in this game, which I literally can't wrap my head around lol.
The Magatama? Is that a weapon or something? What does it do?
I also read that I should keep Pixie, and keep a move called Focus.

Yeah. IV was tough, but if definitely wasn't insurmountable, and there were only really a few bosses, primerily the two at the end, that kind of had their way with me.
Is the "beginner's trap" more of a SMT beginner's trap, or a SMT3 specific beginner's trap?

An SMT begginer's trap so you will probably be able to beat him without much trouble. The key in these games are buffs and debuffs and exploiting the weakness system! Once you get the hang of it it's quite simple!
Also this game has a lot of endings, and one of them is very cool to do (although a bit hard). Check a guide to see how to unlock them!

I feel like checking a guide will spoil things for me lol so I think I'll just try to play as honestly as I can and kind of go with the flow. I just hope that this "hard to get" ending isn't because of 11 hours of filler sidequests like in IV.
I keep reading that my MC should be physical. When I was researching SMT IV, I read that it was a bad idea to have a mixed (both mage and brute) MC. Is that true? I really don't want to lose out on the extra turns, as they were so useful in IV.

On this game is better to do your protagonist with full physical! Your demons can take care of the elemental attacks. There is a skill at the beggining of the game called lunge that I used for the whole game. I would use concentrate+lunge and hit for big damage!
Going with the flow is the best way to go. But... just so you know (without spoiling anything) there is a certain dungeon that will help you get the ending I talk about. It's no filler sidequest like IV, instead it's a far more interesting thing to do.

Is that dungeon exclusive to the version of the game with Dante? Because I actually don't know if I have that version or not, so I might not have access to it. I actually have read, pretty much everywhere, about how important it is to do this particular dungeon that starts with an A before you face the final dungeon, but I assumed it was because it was a good place to grind without being boring. Is that the one you're talking about?
| Hiku said: SMT 3 is hard, in that it's unforgiving. - Look up info on what kind of build you'd like to have for your main character by the end of the game. Do this as early as possible, even if it doesn't make sense to you at this point, just so you won't forget any of the neccesary skills for the builds. I'm not sure if there's anything wrong with a Wizard build, but some of the strongest skills in the game are Physical (a couple of Almighty physical attacks for example), and Focus is very important for that build. - There are different endings to the game. And if those interest you (one of the paths allow you to learn the Pierce skill mentioned above, and unlocks a new/true final boss), find out how to trigger the points and "flags" towards each ending. Each ending requires a certain amount of points before you can activate the "flag". The flag is a decision you make that will lock you into that path/ending, and make it impossible for you to get any of the other endings. If no flags are triggered by the time you reach the final boss, you'll get the ending that you had the most points toward. |
Since everyone says to go physical, I think I'll go with that. Do you have any recommended moveset, as well as how I should organise my stats? For IV, I went 3-2 Magic and Agility.
Is Pixie's evolution good, or is it better to fuse her? My only issue with only evolving her is that I like my demons to have at least one move from each of the for elements, which was impossible to achieve in IV without fusing.
Is it not like IV where you can customize exactly which moves your fused demons will get?
Thank you so much for this! Truly very helpful!

You have it if you own the North American version. And yes, you have to do it before entering the final dungeon and yes it sarts with an A! It's hard but it's worth it!
