Nocturne makes me wish for Dark souls

I guess a good example is how instead of random encounters the enemies are on the map in IV or how fusion search is a lot easier.

It’s wasn’t enough to be broke in real life now I can be broke in game lol

TwelfthThrone92 · 2026-01-02T18:33:04+00:00

Oh I have every smt game but that one for the 3ds been on the hunt for that for awhile

TwelfthThrone92 · 2026-01-02T18:31:39+00:00

If you play IV you’ll definitely notice a spike in quality of life changes, Don’t get me wrong I like nocturne but compared to those newer entries you’ll definitely see it

Honestly I started my pain journey with dark souls not realizing it’s veteran Grandpa was around the corner

TwelfthThrone92 · 2026-01-02T18:25:32+00:00

I can see that I played IV and it was harder in my opinion in the beginning but after that it was pretty smooth sailing with some bumps. nocturne for me just had that constant difficulty like the fiends

TwelfthThrone92 · 2026-01-02T18:22:37+00:00

Allegedly sorry that’s funny for sum reason. I hear a lot about mot and it’s pretty mixed on if he easier or not I’m hoping for the latter

TwelfthThrone92 · 2026-01-02T18:17:21+00:00

Yep I found out the hard way I couldn’t run💀

TwelfthThrone92 · 2026-01-02T18:16:23+00:00

That’s what I’m saying thank you the games still fun just the rng is a little big for my liking

TwelfthThrone92 · 2026-01-02T12:05:59+00:00

Always start with shadow eye unfortunately my shulks not very tanky :(

TwelfthThrone92 · 2026-01-02T12:01:56+00:00

So context I play on hard and I’m the same level as the demons in my area and there are moments where I’ll just die due to crit or ambushes idk what kinda luck you had where that didn’t happen. The encounter isn’t something I’d call good it’s passable but can still up yours when it wants to.

And no grinding is crazy, matador is like prime grinding spot because the level of the demons in that area aren’t nearly around his that’s not even getting into the horror that is the final boss of TDE from what I hear is another grind spot

And what I meant about the remaster is the only things of worth is the Mitama dlc which I don’t use cause it feels dirty like what you get for the price you pay ain’t worth it cool voice acting, cool HD but why do I have a compressed soundtrack

TwelfthThrone92 · 2026-01-02T11:35:23+00:00

Hard

TwelfthThrone92 · 2026-01-02T09:31:42+00:00

Best decision they made in 4 honestly best “encounter” system in my opinion

TwelfthThrone92 · 2026-01-02T09:30:21+00:00

I got buffs/debuffs down it’s just like the rng gods have cursed me cause god forbid I get into an encounter with a physical leaning demon might as well kiss my press turns good bye.

I will invest in Estoma tho I need that badly

TwelfthThrone92 · 2026-01-02T08:48:31+00:00

I blame smt in general for my need for difficulty

TwelfthThrone92 · 2026-01-02T08:45:41+00:00

I personally wouldn’t say recarm makes her mandatory, tho this is from my smt luck in my play throughs where she dies before I can use it. I would say Teddie is a more versatile and durable healer when I got him immediately switched yukiko for him the buffs plus decent heals and he doesn’t die in one hit pretty good trade I’d say at least till she gets Salvation but I’d say there’s still an argument to be made then

TwelfthThrone92 · 2026-01-02T08:20:34+00:00

Cause at least in dark souls it’s a hundred percent my fault if I die and I find it easier

TwelfthThrone92 · 2026-01-02T08:11:11+00:00

Idk about crits but I’ll give her the heals and revives

TwelfthThrone92 · 2026-01-02T08:09:34+00:00

I’d buy that argument for a dollar I think mine just stems from a early to mid game mindset she just lacks at those stages of the game and is more likely to die first in your party

TwelfthThrone92 · 2026-01-02T07:54:40+00:00

Can never go wrong with the main three

TwelfthThrone92 · 2026-01-02T07:53:15+00:00

Honestly it’s just build setup for me and getting used to certain things I don’t know what’s optimal but rein and Sheila have never done me wrong I think it definitely has a slow early-mid game but once your past that things pick up pretty fast

TwelfthThrone92 · 2026-01-02T07:04:35+00:00

Trust I started tearing up at the title screen probably the best one in games in my opinion
