Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse basically changed my life, or at least my thoughts about JRPGs, forever. I am eternally grateful that my beloved friend @etria-girl recommended this game to me <33

๐๐๐ anna the queen of good rpg taste
(โค๏ธ still so glad you liked it so much)
it turns out "neon femboy summons devils to fight the literal god of the bible" with pokemon meets etrian odyssey combat is just like [activation noise] for me :)
i wonder what kind of deal nintendo made to keep SMT4, 4A, and 5 locked to nintendo hardware... i'd kill to see a PC port of any of those games
i still might need to get an emulator going for SMT4 since i've been curious to check it out too (i'm still scared of burning out on smt3 and the earlier games)
you liked 4a enough that 4 will have interesting stuff for you i think
but 3 really is probably the coolest smt game, at the least its up there, and i didnt even see the endgame, i only got 3/4ths through it
did you ever play strange journey btw?
i somehow didnt play strange journey. i still don't even know why i didnt buy the game because i was totally planning on it!!
it literally being in the etrian engine is fun, even if you sadly can't draw the map yourself ๐
do you still recruit and fuse demons?? because man do i love demon fusion. dragon quest monsters really scratched an itch by being 3v3 combat and having a monster fusion system... DQM and SMT made me realize you can have a monster game that manages to still engage my brain, unlike pokemon 1v1s
