Shin Megami Tensei Discussion Thread: III - Maniax Edition

[MYHERO]

We already had a discord before. But that thing went to shit since almost no one talked.

 

[Yvel_Atsly]

Okay, i'll do it

 

[Milly_Rocking_Bandit]

Huh. Well, that might be a problem if people don't talk.

 

[Yvel_Atsly]

Well it depends on you and the others who joined, so hopefully it dosen't go route

 

[Milly_Rocking_Bandit]

I'll help. We should focus on the verse first instead of individual games in the franchise.

 

[00potato]

Can I join this discord.

 

[Yvel_Atsly]

Why do you want to join?

 

[00potato]

Curiosity mostly.

 

[Milly_Rocking_Bandit]

We'll need actual contributions, but alright.

 

[Tony_di_bugalu]

X2

 

[Yvel_Atsly]

No offense @00potato but if you're not going to make an actual contribution it's not ideal for you to join the server. Especially since the previous one was already a failure

 

[God_dramya275]

Hi! in what order should we play the SMT games to understand the hax in the verse

 

[LightinAnt]

Generally speaking the newer games dive into the hax more, how demons work, where they came from etc. So SMT 4 and 4:Apocalypse

 

[Eganergo]

Start with the real SMT: Persona (Verse).

 

[Yvel_Atsly]

I've played a good amount of the games myself. IV, IVA, Nocturne (all multiple times), DDS 1 and 2, Strange Journey, and both devil survivors and their extended parts.

 

[Eganergo]

Bump!

Also, does Dx2 scale to mainline SMT vice versa? I just realized some of the Demon have negate pierce & almighty.

 

[Yvel_Atsly]

I mean we've used things like decoherence fields from DX2. So they have demonic hax and stuff

 

[Thehunter077]

Bump!

I want to ask about SMT Dante tier in Nocturne, I see in his profile he has low 1-C key where Kagutsuchi has only 2-A key.

So by any means SMT Dante > Kagutsuchi?

 

[Milly_Rocking_Bandit]

Yes, and both of them should be Low 1-C anyways.

 

[Thehunter077]

Yes, and both of them should be Low 1-C anyways.

Wait so SMT Dante > Kagutsuchi is true? I mean is Dante only beat near end game Demi fiend which different when he fought Kagutsuchi?

 

[Milly_Rocking_Bandit]

Dante canonically assists you in the defeat of Kagustuchi and Lucifer.

 

[Tyranno223]

Dante canonically assists you in the defeat of Kagustuchi and Lucifer.

I thought only Raidou canonically showed up in the endings, does Dante do so as well.

 

[Milly_Rocking_Bandit]

I thought only Raidou canonically showed up in the endings, does Dante do so as well.

He outright says he’s going to uncover what the old man (Lucifer) is hiding, as he sides with you.

 

[Thehunter077]

So it means Dante is above Beelzebub and possobly Metatron? Because you need beat both of them before requit him as a partner.

 

[Milly_Rocking_Bandit]

Yes, he fights Kagu and Lucifer, he logically should be.
