I like that Nocturne is hard, but the main BS is the stuff outside of battles - having to walk through the same big areas over and over because not all save points let you teleport, unskippable teleport/save/ladder scenes (they get super old super fast), lack of skill tooltips in all menus, lack of indication of level requirements for magatama skills, etc. SMT4/4A might not have the great battles of Nocturne, but damn, it feels better to play because you can focus on fighting the demons, not also fighting the UI/camera/unknown.

Got into Persona last year in August, finally on my way to mainline with the SMT III Remaster. Just got to Ikebukuro and this is my thoughts exactly- this game has BS difficulty sometimes, but the BS goes both ways, and that's amazing. You can make the enemies CRY in Nocturne, and it's hilarious, but you're forever humbled in it. Plus it's got the PS2-era JAMS, I don't know what it is about Nocturne, but it makes me feel like I'm playing a JRPG version of Symphony of the Night, with its beautiful OST and all.

Great video, SMT Nocturne is one of the most unique JRPGs out there. So it makes it hard for me to tell my friends to play SMT or even the newest SMT game. But I love this series so much and you put it in such a beautiful and easily explainable way

While Persona 5 is one of my favorite games, I am pretty eager to try out SMT! I do think that SMT deserves a little more recognition

Been thinking about finally taking the second big step in my SMT journey after already playing SMT3, SMT4, and now SMT5 - Strang Journey. I keep hearing people say it's something newcomers shouldn't start with, but at the same time I'm looking forward to the story which is also hyped up.

Great video mate! Keep up the good work!

The only game i used a strategy guide on. Love this game and i wish more people knew about it.

The first time I ever saw Nocturne was thanks to a friend from my brother. He was into JRPGs and presented to us Persona 3 and Nocturne. Since then I NEVER forgot about it and was always eager to want to know more about it. To this day I'm trying to finish it, going after the TDE as well for the full experience. It's SO punitive, since the RNG won't forgive you for small mistakes. But I learned that the trick is work a way around your mistake to make it work or hurt less. I love the gameplay, the themes, the art style. I love EVERYTHING about Nocturne. It's my favorite JRPG and was my gateway to SMT in general. First I was into Persona, and now I'm want to try the OG series. From Nocturne I will try P4 and then I see what I do from there. Maybe check Raidou's games. The gameplay seems interesting from my first glimpse.

SMT games are pretty fair with their difficulty. Sometimes there's BS in Nocturne, but most of its difficulty has a rhyme and a reason. It's part of why I love this series, and find it difficult to go back to any Final Fantasy games. I can carve my own way through the game while playing by its rules, and end battles quickly depending on my efficiency rather than dealing with slow, boring tedium. It's also more mature than those other JRPG's. No good or evil. Just what you make of the different alignments. It's for the player to decide the lesser of many evils.

@MILDMONSTER1234

3 жыл бұрын

SMT fans calling it mature in comparison to other rpgs I always find to be laughable for the most part when about 50-60% of Nocturnes dialogue is whacky earth bound tier humor Honestly those older FF games with the OG difficulty Id argue are almost on par with megaten in terms of challenge Also implying you can't abuse the shit out of FF games to blitz through them lmao

Ah yes, the Demichad

Subbed! Great vid dude

I did not know those SMT IV reviews. I wish I could forget. Now I have to go on a hunt.

amazing video imma send this to all my friends who haven't played nocturne yet

Great video! Nocturne's combat is definitely a gold standard for the genre, but one of the most underrated things about it, imo, is it's story. It isn't as character or plot focused as Persona or Final Fantasy. But it isn't trying to be. Nocturne is more about mood and philosophical questioning. Honestly, it's kind of like Shadow of the Colossus in that way. Obviously, if you come in expecting Persona style character development and social links, or a high-action plot like Chrono Trigger, you'll be disappointed. But if you come in with an open mind, the game is so powerful. It's honestly one of my favorite stories in the genre.

Shin Megami Tensei is the Japanese RPGs what DOOM is to FPS games. Ancient, powerful, genre defining, and still a juggernaut to the genre.

I'm su fcking glad SMT Nocturne gets a remaster for Steam as well, I'll play this game until my death. I started with Persona 3, went over to Nocturne and have been in love with the series since. These games are how I learned english xD Much love to you my guy!

Imo Nocturnes actual difficulty comes from how people underestimate buffs in every other game. Nocturne is my favorite despite the fact that 4 and 4a arguably have much better combat Honestly the PS2 era megaten games are the only ones I truely love despite the rest still being good games.

This video is gold.

Matador still kicks the 💩outta me. Every single time I always underestimate him like "He's not even that good in Persona" and then he proceeds to annihilate me over and over while I try to build accuracy buff demons and grind lvls.

I was hoping you'd actually talk about the encounter system a bit when you mentioned it in the transition to how Press Turn worked. The random encounter system in Nocturne and by extension Strange Journey is easily the best I've ever seen. The fact that you actually get some forewarning of when a fight will happen alone helps so much but also making it take 3 dings to get an encounter created (in my opinion) the perfect encounter rate. Given how wary most people below a certain age are about random encounters I imagine this would probably be a pretty effective way to convince people to at least give Nocturne a try. Certainly a far cry from SMT1 giving you double or triple encounters every few steps. Great video overall!
