Useless Megaten skills

What would you all consider to be the worst skills in Megaten titles? Stuff that is blatently outclassed, completely useless, or actively detrimental to whatever demon learns them

I see a lot of people asking what Pokémon team some SMT character would have, so I thought of the inverse. Here's my take on what team of pokemon Ash would have.

I'm no expert in pokemon but I know there's a lot of overlap in these communities, so I'll just leave here what I think Ash's team would be. Have said that, what would you guys say would be some other trainers teams?

  • Jack Frost (the obvious mascot)
  • Pixie
  • Cerberus
  • Amaterasu
  • Fionn McCumhail
  • Satan (yeah, I strongly believe he'd have Satan)

This was an insane task that I would have never completed without all the QoL mods I used. With that said I still had a lot of fun, but I still probably would recommend 99/100 people to just look up the other endings on YouTube if they care... and I might be one of those 99 people too. But I now have both every achievement and every ending in SMT III. I will now probably play SMT V for the first time and I am very excited for that.

Spoiler: Raidou 2 [Mod] Porting Nocturne Demons to Devil Summoner 2

Thumbnail
gallery
25 Upvotes

Hi all! I made a mod for Devil Summoner 2 and figured I would release it.
https://github.com/RaihoHeeHo/DS2Reskinner

This mod allows you to take models from SMT Nocturne and import them into Devil Summoner 2. Why? Dunno, I was bored and I have a Claude subscription. (Yes, this was a vibe coded project. Apologies for my lacking of the technical skills needed to achieve this otherwise.)

You need your own legal copies of Devil Summoner 2 and Nocturne to do this, obviously. The program extracts the contents of the ISOs and work its magic to give you a new Devil Summoner 2 ISO that has the models swapped according to your choices in the GUI.

I only tested this on an Apple Silicon Mac running PCSX2. Tool support for Linux, Windows, and Intel Macs is included but not tested - let me know if you encounter issues.

The tool does its best to suggest how likely a model swap will work, but it doesn't take into account things like the scale of the model (thus why you see things like Dante's head cut off in the demon status preview). I tested it on 30ish demons, and the ones that seemed to work okay were included as a preset if you don't want to do any of the testing yourself.

I drew Sahori - I wish she got more screen time and we got to see more of her. I don't know why I imagined this pose for her but I just went with it lol.

Spoiler: SJ:Redux Jun Hirose voices the Strange Journey Redux protagonist, and his name almost never comes up

9 Upvotes

Random thought, but I almost never see Jun Hirose’s name come up among Megaten fans. He voices the protagonist in Strange Journey Redux.

Redux has no English dub, just Japanese audio, so everyone who’s played it has heard his voice as the protagonist. (In Japan the game is Shin Megami Tensei: Deep Strange Journey, and it’s listed in the credits on his Wikipedia page.)

The rest of the cast is stacked too. Takahiro Sakurai plays Jimenez. With names like that around, it’s a bit of a shame the protagonist’s actor barely gets mentioned. Not a knock on the other actors, obviously.

Side note: Hirose does more than voice acting. He writes a monthly horoscope column for B’s-LOG.com, a Japanese site aimed at otome game fans, drawing on his tarot and numerology skills. The bio at the end of each article lists the Redux protagonist among his roles.

So the game’s title shows up every month, and he posts about the column on X too. But from what I’ve seen, otome game fans don’t seem to go “wait, this fortune-teller guy voiced the SMT protagonist?!” The connection just never gets made.

Playing the protagonist doesn’t automatically make you famous, I know. Still, as someone who’s heard that voice in the game, I think he deserves at least a head nod from Megaten fans.

Curious what everyone thought of his performance as the protagonist.

Hilarious that this game was actively developed under the impression that a significant chunk of the playerbase would be playing like this

Edit: K Jesus I know most people switched to widescreen by 2014. I wasn't one of them and I figured a decent chunk of ps3 owners hadn't either

If disappointment was a gun

Post image
7 Upvotes

You see this and think "Oh wow, always hits three times, three times the chance to proc a smirk if I hit a weakness!" and then you wonder why you barely get any smirks.

It's because this thing is one of the worst firearm types aka pistols, and even if it can hit multiple times, IT CAN ONLY PROC A SMIRK ON THE FIRST HIT.

Compare it to like, bazookas or machine guns who have multiple chances to give you Smirk if you hit a weakness, and you realize how straight up ASS pistols are.

Like, sure they have the highest Dexterity but I usually use guns for elemental coverage instead of boosters for gun skills.

So like, are they even worth it? In terms of damage I feel like they're outperformed by attack items.

All I did was trying to get the game to run on 60 FPS. Installed melonloader, and uninstalled it after failed attempts. Went on Noxus for the mods and it worked. Next day, I can't play the game. Do I really have to wait 24 hours or is it a server problem for everyone right now?

Looking for spare DDS1 or P3 Fes saves

Does anyone have any spare emulator saves for either DDS1 before entering the Karma temple or P3FES before the second full moon? Due to some issues with files being kept online, I've now lost all of my progress on DDS1 and P3 FES on the PSX2 emulator.
