Hi /vr/.

You know, I always saw that famous RPGs like Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest and many others got a remastered version, revisited version, enhaced version, etc.

What I'm asking is: is out there a remaster for the Shin Megami Tensei games for the NES that I can play? I'm dying to try the series since the first release, I just can't handle NES rpgs, they are very rudimentary to me, maybe enhaced version fixed some hardware limitation for the time.

Feel free to make this thread a /smt/ thread if you want.

I think Megami Tensei only got remade for the SNES.

How retarded are you that you can't find out that much yourself?

That's why I opened the thread. Sorry if I did not make myself clear about the topic.

You sound like you don't even know which Megami Tensei games were on the Famicom or how often they were remade.

>> No.3115305

So why can't you look up that stuff on the web? Even Wikipedia can be a start.

I just wanted advices and recomendations on where do I need to start, but oh well, the thread was a failure. Nevermind I'll look out for more info. Thank anyway /vr/ros.

You wanted complete spoonfeeding. You didn't lift one finger yourself.

I'd recommend starting with Shin Megami Tensei, for the Super Famicom, rather than Megami Tensei or Kyuuyaku Megami Tensei. That's not to say that KMT is a bad game, but compared to later games, the demon compendium is very small so it is easy to lose interest in things like battles and fusion.

>> No.3116294

There's absolutely nothing wrong with starting with Nocturne, but you'll enjoy Nocturne more if you try to play through SMT and SMT2 first

I played Megami Tensei not too long ago, it's actually pretty solid as is in the NES format. I'm sure the SNES version is a little better, but the basic game is there.

MT is pretty stripped down compared to later entries though. Imagine if you removed the vast majority of the story telling in the games, and you're left with MT. I highly recommend SMT 1 & 2 though, as a big fan of SJ, I thought they were great in a way Nocturne wasn't for me.

Soul Hackers is also pretty nice, available for the Saturn or the 3DS.

I'm perfectly fine with SMT1's great flood, or any other sort of extinction event for non-lawfuls, but brainwashing is completely over the line for me. Enemies should at least be given the chance to die fighting for what they believe in rather than just have all trace of themselves erased.

That said though, most law endings actually do create a pretty great world for the inhabitants, even though you're subject to a lot of restrictions.

Every Law ending is literal slavery to a completely fascist dictator god for everybody that doesn't 360 walk away from that universe with Lucifer to continue the fight elsewhere

a "pretty great world" where individuality and expression and freedom are forgotten ideals, a literal socialist dystopia where all voices of dissent are snuffed out

Most megaten games before Nocturne are absolutely unbearable to play if you can't stand the NES or SNES type of RPG.

You can buy SMT 1 and I think 2 as well on the apple store. It's a remastered version that uses a little bit of the remasted GBA version and the PSX version.

If you have a 3DS I suggest getting SMT IV. Battle mechanics are a little different but it's definitely worth buying. Maybe SMT IV Final when / if it comes out from Japan.

I don't get why people have to act edgy and hostile about a single post on an internet forum. It's such a petty thing to bitch about.

But anyways Law is worst alignment.

Well, put it this way. Assuming you particularly like those ideals, there's not much of a reason to complain in a world of law. The concept of freedom has no meaning when you're already permitted to do everything you want to anyway -- additional freedom makes no difference to that individual.

Expression and individuality also exist under law (In some fashion, though not as much as in Chaos or Neutral) in all endings EXCEPT for SJ, which is exactly why I dislike SJ's law ending so much. SJ creates actual slaves out of unwilling participants, while every other lawful ending simply removes the dissident population from the equation, and the remaining have already chosen that life. Looking at Jack's Squad, I would've much rather taken Jim's route with them despite falling on the law side so much (Assuming the two choices were death or brainwashing, that is).

Megami Tensei I and II were remade for the SNES in a collection called Kyuuyaku Megami Tensei, although never localized. Fan translations for SMT games are infamously slow, but a good number of the games have translations out there.

The MT games are a different universe than SMT, though. The SMT universe is what happens after the MT universe is destroyed and reborn, hence the "goddess revival" part of the title.
