I love this series and I feel this one was the weakest entry. To this point there is no better SMT than Nocturne in my eyes.
I found the biggest problem with the game was the change in physical attacks and the dungeon design.
In this game physical attacks consume MP... but physical demons have low MP. On others games in the series you use HP to perform the physical skills. You weaken yourself to do damage but have a lot more health to make up for that. Big mistake from SMT IV in my opinion, it makes magic attacks vastly superior to physical attacks. In fact I docked all the points of my MC into magic, I didn't even care about physical and I beat every fight in the game without problems (even the lame final boss).
The dungeons are a cakewalk... compared to the dungeons from the earlier games (which where brutally big and complicated) these look like something from an elder scrolls game.
As for the demon negotation... it's as random as it's always been and I like it.
Overall the game was a bit of a let down but I enjoyed it!
PS: I liked your review rol, do one for Sonic Boom please!
