It is definitely tedious, but I only just recently got into the SMT franchise and I'm absolutely in love with it. It's definitely worth the couple hours of grinding.


Yeah. I don't know if I nessecarily expect to be wowed, but I've definitely had at least a morbit curiosity with the franchise. Who knows. Maybe if I like this enough, I'll try my friend's copy of P4 again.

I'm just praying that this ends up happening.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Lol, I sort of have this problem with JRPGs though. I hate grinding so much that I'll do everything not to grind, resulting in me being underleveled throughout pretty much every game I play. To give you an example, I just beat Earthbound with Ness at Lvl 70, Paula at Lvl 60, Jeff at Lvl 57, and Poo at Lvl 57.

I consider EB to be a pretty grindy game. If SMT IV is anything on that, and I'm sure it's much harder, trust me when I say that I'll be plenty challenge by virtue of being severely underleveled through the duration of the game lol.

Well the grinding in SMT is a little bit different. Basically there is regular level grinding, which happens rarely. Being higher leveled doesn't help too much in this gameou, other than it determines which demons you can create. An enemy ten levels below you can devastate you if you don't play properly. The grinding has to do with the demon system. You need to collect dozens upon dozens of them so that you can keep merging them into new ones. You also need to grind their skills so that they pass them on to the new demon (and so that you can gain skills from them.) Money is also a major factor because you can (and will) just buy the same demons again (for merging.) This might be more interesting to you than just finding enemies and killing them. Instead you find enemies, persuade them to join your party, and you keep merging them. It would be like if pokemon had a merging mechanic. In this entry the demon-merging system is streamlined, but it is still pretty complicated. So the combination of the grind, learning demon merging, and learning the press-turn system makes the game really hard for people. Once they collected a good party of demons and they understand the mechanics though, the game becomes easier. Boss battles are a matter of finding out the bosses weakness and messing with its stats as much as you can. Some bosses can hit HARD though. 

I found Earthbound to be a game where levels matter a lot. So yeah, grinding helps in that game. :)

It most likely will I mean its already been confirmed multiple times it is still in development. (The most recent being a few months ago late jan I believe)

They might show us at E3 or maybe in a direct before that? Who knows.

I'm pretty excellent at learning "complex" systems, so that shouldn't be too much of an issue for me. I'm a big reader, so if there's a system I don't know, I'm very quick to do insane ammounts of research on it until I get it. I play Pokemon competitively (and am VERY good), so I'm no stranger to complex turn based battle sysyems against intelligent enemies lol.

I knew the confirmation of an E3 appearance was too god to be true...

On the bright side, Shin Megami Tensei IV will be on sale for $15 on the eshop next week. As someone who has never held even a passing interest in the franchise, I have to say that this has tempted me enough to bite the bullet and buy it.

SMT x FE, as well as the newest Persona 5 trailer, has got me interested enough in both series to try it out. Seems like the perfect time. With any luck, a similar sale will happen for Fire Emblem Awakening to tempt me into buying my first foray into that franchise as well.

There's not much grinding in FE: A if you're worried about that.

You'll probably like this game a lot then. :)
