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.
"Good is everything I like, evil is everything I dislike." - Anton Lavey Also, interesting that Atlus never made a demon based on Anton Lavey. The guy did his preachings dressed as a cartoon devil with a huge ass black cape, that's fertile territory to make a demon based on him.
I started with P5 last December and the combat got me hooked it was so much fun being able to actually exploit an enemy’s weakness and then do the same for me. I get P5 is one of, if not the easiest in the franchise and I see how it was, but that has me excited for some form of a challenge in nocturne when it gets localized,

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.
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.
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
@@amari7782 1.) this didn’t age well 2.) even before it was announced to be releasing in the west, Atlus said Scramble exceeded expectations. What were those expectations and how much did it exceed them? 🤷♂️
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.
Thank you for this video. You put a whole lot of my thoughts that I couldn’t really say properly into a video, and I appreciate it. Keep up the good work!
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.
Amazing video! I'm a P4/5 normie, but I'm really excited to see the release of both SMT games soon - it's nice to see popularity brought back to the original roots of Persona and it's great to see videos like this hype it up even more. I look forward to seeing more from you!!
Yeah it does suck to see them be overlooked, but within the genre itself... I mean, Megami Tensei literally created monster collection and I saw Pokémon fans calling SMT5 a Pokémon ripoff, lol.
I think for a remaster the bar is lower - like just put the game out up-rezed on current platforms ya know. I was shocked they ADDED VA and I think that's pretty dope
Dude is that your first video ? that was way too cool, i think youtube misses some jrpg-focused channels, especially with that troll tone ahah anyway awesome bro, keep it up ! (ps: couldn't agree more about that golden triangle)
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.
great video. this game is one of a kind. im glad smt series exists, even from the storyline quests and demons/characters involved, it challenges a lot of viewpoints and perceptions.
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, 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
I found this really enjoyable. Loved when you put the big three JRPGs on animals. Laughed out loud. 😂 Instant sub! Looking forward to seeing you grow! 😊
Everything that Atlus did after this game except maybe original Persona 3, has been straying further and further from the press turn system, and battle symmetry. Once you say its symmetrical, but... thats when you messed up. I was happy to see in Persona 3 Reload that the boss fight with two enemy persona users could use baton pass, on your party, but it only happened the one time, and since lots of the boss fights in that game are 2 Arcana at the same time, its such a missed opportunity. Even worse all Atlus difficulties seem to me to be based off multipliers now. You like merciless cool, you do .5 damage now. No one likes meat shields. No one. That is why I hate FF's stagger systems.
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!
My new hope is that the Digital Devil Saga duology will get an HD remaster as well. They were (I believe) the first games post nocturne to have the Demi-fiend take his rightful place as multi-dimensional mega-boss. Who WILL sometimes just fuck you over with Gaea's Rage to one shot your party. And you BEST believe he's summoning Grimikimala
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!
I started the megaten franchise in 2019 with Persona 5, and from then played a lot of SMTV, Soul Hackers, Devil Survivors, a bit of SMT4 and some hours of Persona 4. Now I finally started from less than a week SMT3 on the PS4 and holy cow, even when I tried to far a couple of levels to fuse a lv19 Demon, and died like 10 times in a row completely random oneshotted by an angel while I was going to save my 25 minutes farming (and again, not 25 minutes, but 25 minutes 10+ times), I (almost) never got frustrated. Yes they are BS death, yes they make no sense, yes this is crap. But I wanted to keep on playing, and I can't wait to continue it tomorrow and face the Matador with the party I made just 'cause I think it's the best strat!
algo threw the video to me so here's my comment my 1st megaten game was persona 3 portable on the psp, when i got a 3ds on 2010 oh boy did i enjoy all the titles i can get. Devil Survivor, devil summoner and SMT4 were so so good. I love the mainline smt games cause of how it doesnt restrict me to trying to date and relive high school like persona, just inflicts pain and suffering to players. After my 100% of smt 5 vengeance im considering getting nocturne and this video was informative.
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.
I can say i love the persona games and from the bit of other SMT i have played i feally enjoyed it. I can't wait to get the nocturne remake because i never got to finish the original
I hate how Nocturne vanilla sold poorly that made Cozy leave the company, making the stories get worse. I hate how Maniax was the start of re-releases ruining the original vision of the game. I hate how DDS/Raidou/Strange Journey tried to capture the magic of early Megaten but fails at it. I hate how Strange Journey not being a successful title made Kaneko conviced it's time to let the new generation to take over the series now depsite still being pretty young. I hate how Persona 1-2 are forgotten, nobody wants to discuss the lore or the new iceberg for it. We are at the fucking POINT where Mother 1 + 2 are more well known than them. I kinda like and hate how Persona 3-5 made the series be the main series now while SMT is considered to be the sister series now.
Hot Take, the smt spinoffs have far more engaging stories and characters then any of the mainline games so I don't feel any real loss at losing the original vision with re releases, DDS was more like it was trying to appeal to the FF crowd then old megaten tho
in every conceivable way, i believe that this moment is worth for me to be excited for, so now we will move on as a way for me to express my immense happiness in this good time. In other words: LET'S GO
OmG, I had the time of my life when Nintendo announced the SMT Nocturne Remaster and the SMT V game last year. And SMT get to PS4 too?? Hell YEAH! Pun intended ;D Even though I bought the japanese versions too, I can´t wait to get the english game soon
I start the SMT series from ol' Strange Journey. As a person who came from persona 4,ngl it's hard, especially with that random encounter bullshit. Starting ps2 Nocturne on January 2021 stopping for a month and now I forgot what must I do.
Nocturne, Strange Journey and Devil Survivor are masterpieces.
Would be so hyped for a Devil Survivor 3 announcement just because it would make more people fangasm over the first 2.
Now that's a trinity in one part of the trinity
YES THEY FUCKING ARE.
This guy knows what’s up
I'd like to call that and raise you with Digital Devil Saga
SMT is finally getting the popularity it deserves, pray to YHVH that the series gets it spotlight
Considering what we do to it throughout the games... I think we should pray to Lucifer... Hard
Pray to the generous yet fickle god known as Atlas with a u
I just hope that it doesn't get too much spotlight, because...you know what happens to mainstream games...
People will make shit takes and call for censorship everywhere...
And one of the better things about the series is how raw it is...
I am gonna pray to Abel or Space Marine tbh. They absolutely bodied YHVH and are much more reasonable.

You should try Devil survivor or strange journey in the mean time
ayo try devil survivor first its a good transition between persona and mainline
In terms of gameplay persona is way to easy compare to SMT 3, and story is much darker.

SMT welcomes all who are willing.
getting ambushed by random battle then got mahamaon / mamudoon on first turn by the enemy still traumatized me to this day.
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.

I love the mainline smt games cause of how it doesnt restrict me to trying to date and relive high school like persona, just inflicts pain and suffering to players. After my 100% of smt 5 vengeance im considering getting nocturne and this video was informative.
4:06 is so accurate lmao
Thanks for this video man.
2021 still no shin megoomi tensai v news
:'(
TFW you were born after the release of nocturne and plan to play V so the actual human generation thing is literal.
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.
I can say i love the persona games and from the bit of other SMT i have played i feally enjoyed it. I can't wait to get the nocturne remake because i never got to finish the original
ONE MORE GOD REJECTED
Excellent video, dude!
I hate how Nocturne vanilla sold poorly that made Cozy leave the company, making the stories get worse.
I hate how Maniax was the start of re-releases ruining the original vision of the game.
I hate how DDS/Raidou/Strange Journey tried to capture the magic of early Megaten but fails at it.
I hate how Strange Journey not being a successful title made Kaneko conviced it's time to let the new generation to take over the series now depsite still being pretty young.
I hate how Persona 1-2 are forgotten, nobody wants to discuss the lore or the new iceberg for it. We are at the fucking POINT where Mother 1 + 2 are more well known than them.
I kinda like and hate how Persona 3-5 made the series be the main series now while SMT is considered to be the sister series now.
Hot Take, the smt spinoffs have far more engaging stories and characters then any of the mainline games so I don't feel any real loss at losing the original vision with re releases, DDS was more like it was trying to appeal to the FF crowd then old megaten tho
@@billyboleson2830 Not a bad hot take. Not a bad one at all.
Demi chad is beautiful
I did not know those SMT IV reviews. I wish I could forget. Now I have to go on a hunt.
great video, man. if you keep this quality you're gonna grow a lot.
The SMT fam has been sending such good vibes I love it
I love this. Thank you 😌 I’m looking forward to trying it out for myself
So well said. Favorite video I've seen in a long time!!!!
thank you!
in every conceivable way, i believe that this moment is worth for me to be excited for, so now we will move on as a way for me to express my immense happiness in this good time.
In other words:
LET'S GO
Bet, but I’m modding the the uncompressed music back in
OmG, I had the time of my life when Nintendo announced the SMT Nocturne Remaster and the SMT V game last year. And SMT get to PS4 too?? Hell YEAH! Pun intended ;D
Even though I bought the japanese versions too, I can´t wait to get the english game soon
I hope that Persona fans can put their feelings aside and try out SMT games, because they're really missing out.

I start the SMT series from ol' Strange Journey. As a person who came from persona 4,ngl it's hard, especially with that random encounter bullshit. Starting ps2 Nocturne on January 2021 stopping for a month and now I forgot what must I do.
Lol the SpongeBob comparison is pertfect
"when you hit a wall" meanwhile, isamu: hey demifiend, whats g *yeet*
fr tho, good video, conveyed a lot of thoughts i have about nocturne myself!
Liked and suscribed only for that Radiant Historia appreciation
