Let's have a retro Megaten thread (Shin Megami Tensei and such).

I'm playing SMT1 with a Snes9x emulator. I'm using Gamefaqs and I'm almost at a bit where the guide says I might have some trouble. It says

>Messian Baptism

>First things first, if you're using the English translation patch and using an SNES emulator, you'll need to make a save state here. Load up a clean, *unpatched*, ROM and load that save state. Now return to the room where you talked to Law Hero and Haniel, and you'll see an old man. He'll ask you if you want to be baptised into the Messian Faith. Since the text is either gibberish or Japanese, you'll want to chose the top choice (which is "yes"). After the baptism, create another save state and load the English patched ROM back up.

It talks about the english translation, but I'm playing the game in the original Japanese. Is this something I still need to be worried about? I'm not sure if I even understand what they're talking about.

Thanks and feel free to talk about Megaten.

It's basically the GBA version with a higher framerate and the PSX soundtrack. The translation is a lot more accurate than the fan translation, but it plays quite well. It was clearly a rush-job, but better than never getting an official translation. I mean I hate playing games on my phone, but I love Megaten, so it balanced out. They never updated the app to 64-bit though, so you can't play it on anything past iOS 10 which is a bummer.

>>	Anonymous Sun Aug 26 11:26:31 2018 No.5004483 >>5004468 That's cool. I played the PS1 version once and the polygons really helped the 3D feel in the dungeons. I guess the iOS version didn't do that though.

A friendly reminder that SMT 2 is actually secretly the best megaten games even among the newer ones.
You're in for a treat, OP.

Also chaos is hands down the best path in the first two games.

>>	Anonymous Sun Aug 26 13:43:25 2018 No.5004705 >>5004697 Weird, did you maybe try playing them too close to each other? I get burn out when I do that with turn based RPGs sometimes

>>	Anonymous Sun Aug 26 13:44:47 2018 No.5004708 >>5004574 but neutral is basically just chaos with more killing come on

>>	Anonymous Sun Aug 26 13:46:16 2018 No.5004712 >>5004708 You don't get based demon bros though, plus chaos is actually pretty moral in SMT 2 since you go so far as to release the Japanese gods to watch over and protect people.

That's very possible, I don't think I played it right off of SMT, but I was playing back to back to back Megaten at that point. I guess it's one of those things where I got a fair number of hours in, but then took too long a break due to frustration, and now I don't remember what the hell I was doing. I did absolutely love all the new demons in II though.

whaat, I didn't know you could do that. Well shit. I'll probably have to give it another go sometime. I got rid of the hacked Wii I was playing everything on, but I did backup all my SRAM. Thanks for the advice anon.

>>	Anonymous Sun Aug 26 13:54:57 2018 No.5004734 >>5004727 Also another tip for the last few bosses, though this one requires grinding If you get the spell that raises a party member as a zombie on the chick it's completely immune to insta kills making the last like 4 bosses piss easy

>>	Anonymous Mon Aug 27 08:58:55 2018 No.5006212 >>5004705 OP here, yeah I don't want to burn out as well. When I finish SMT1, I'll try playing Majin Tensei (Fire Emblem type game) as a change of pace and then maybe Megami Tensei 1.

Also, I'm at a part in the game where the guide says I need to be level 65. I was level 58 at the time and went to the mansion to grind and level up. Luckily I stumbled across a boss fight which paid off around 40,000 exp points and levelled up my mc to 60. I still need to get to level 65 though and it will probably be an extremely long process.

Are there any other bosses hidden around? Or any tips for levelling up fast?
