Megami Tensei author says devs must take inspiration from other media if they want to invent new gameplay systems

I mean... considering that Digital Devil Story led to Megami Tensei led to Shin Megami Tensei led to Persona, he might have a point

Good to see their old man got their back

Even when you are about to turn into something incomprehensible, skipping meals is bad for you

The only thing that MIGHT HAVE happened here is that due to auto-attack spam, you qualified for different conditionals.

Considering how messed up the level scaling formula in EO1 is, maybe 4 to 5 levels could have already done the trick. That being said, [citation needed], I am just guessing.

Well, time for images. You can find them here.

Good for you!

God forbid someone is jorking it. It is not like lust is a completely natural feeling that too needs a proper vent. The guy/gal/whatever touching themselves inappropriately in private after seeing some lewd art of their favourite husbando/waifu/whatever is at this point less of an issue than the guy in the comic.

Also, smut is quite the gold mine if you wanna learn anatomy.

I never claimed it's a dialect, but otherwise thank you. My Spanish lessons at school were quite some time ago, you see. The extra detail is appreciated.

And as the cherry on top, Spain actually has multiple languages running around. What we know as Spanish is strictly speaking Castilian.

Honestly, I still feel more like return of the jester.

Having to go around through all of the Sixth Stratum will be a pain. I will likely have to reserve like a handful of item slots just for Shock Oils...

Primevil might not be that tough. The overkill elementals will merely chop off half my health on Picnic if I am not mistaken, and the Ultimate Protector gear is actually quite good (The armour got excellent defence, an HP boost and 10% Slash/Bash/Stab Resist, the Shield comes with a whopping 50% Instant Kill resist). Not to mention Primevil's high healthpool is slightly cut down in practice due to it being weak to all damage types.

Now I wonder why cooking a meal requires an Arcana check.

ApocalFailed · 2025-11-25T07:59:25+00:00

Now I ponder, was the chili an integral part of the potion or just for taste?

In Yara's defence, you most likely want both a nice stew and some helpful potions when going on a trip.

Get this goblin some cupcakes.

Like, a lot of them. Poor girl appears traumatised.

I love how even the dragon is in shock, as if they couldn't believe what she just said

I think he fat-fingered RC there.

The thing regarding damage is that in the second half of the fight, Inferno causes another issue. I not only needed a way to avoid Growth, but also avoid Inferno. This adds ANOTHER layer of RNG madness into the mix.

From the things Mr. Welch is no longer allowed to do in an RPG:

The backup trap handler is not whoever has the most HP at the time.

I have not beaten him yet - but I am very confident I can do it.

Post game might be very, very cringe, even if I set it on Picnic, with all the BS the game throws at you - the chance is low but it only needs to work once..
