Heya Jim, I've started playing nocturne recently on the HD remaster but I wanna try hardtype, do you know if Zombero or anyone else is planning on remaking the mod for the remaster? I've checked around the internet but haven't found anything, I was just wondering if you knew anything about that at all? Thanks.
I've been out of the loop for a while but AFAIK zombero has been AWOL for a few years now I'm afraid :( There was a pastebin of his notes that should be of interest to anyone attempting to recreate it, but it would be a big project: pastebin.com/sCr5X837
@@JimReaperSaysUnsubscribe its a shame really. Hardtype's had a serious bug on hardware thats existed since it came out. Upon the enemy attempting to use anything but their basic attack, the game freezes with the music still playing.
Me and another group of people in the SMT modding discord were looking into that for a while after the remaster came out. Unfortunately, because of the way that the game is built (specifically the anti-piracy), hardtype, along with any other radical code based mods seem to be off the table, unless someone wants to decrypt and crack the game like what was done with Persona 4 Golden.
@@jo_3246 I do wonder if its just Open PS2 Loader that causes the issue or if its incompatible with the PS2 in general (for example, has anyone tried burning the ISO to a disc and playing it with SwapMagic)
Highest potential damage is still a double Focussed crit from a lvl 255 Sacrifice, same as vanilla. In general elec boost Mjolnir is the best single target magic spell, wind cutter is more damaging but the shock from Mjolnir combos nicely with phys demons (assuming a target with neutral resistances.) Magma Axis is king but Demi Fiend exclusive. For physicals all the same stuff as vanilla - Iron Claw, Hell Fang... HP based attacks work differently and no longer cap out at 999 HP so stuff like Dark Sword is also good. And of course Freikugel and Deadly Fury are still king for MC. Hades Blast for demon AoE.
@@FujinKeima Surprisingly tricky to answer that... depends on the situation, in vanilla especially. In vanilla, Deathbound scales with MAX HP so it stops scaling well at super high levels (we're talking well into the hundreds) but for standard play yes it trumps Hades, especially vs. single targets. Then in hardtype HP scaling skills work differently (they scale with current HP, from 60-100% of their power rating) Vs. single targets it's probably better due to chance of multi-hits, but if you want consistent damage vs. groups Hades and Hassohappa are the best (if you want to sweep Specter 3 for example you will need these, Deathbound won't cut it)
The fiends were nerfed in hardtype. The boss Matador is still immune of course (Unshaken Will offers 75% resistance to Expel/Death/Ailments so it's still not very likely to land Hama on him)
I hate the Take-Minakata encounter SO MUCH. It's not even hard unless you've got a bunch of elec weak demons out. It's just here to be annoying and make you spend 3/4 of your stash of Dis-Stuns you have every time you met him. And he always uses Stun Gaze twice on every turn. And Stun Gaze seems to almost never miss.
Honest most likely answer: disappear again for months. That's just how this channel works There is an inverse correlation between my general wellbeing and how much effort I put into this shit, so to quote the Red Rider, my madness is quite literally your joy :^)
@@JimReaperSaysUnsubscribe Not gonna lie, I respect you. I was going to play the mod, but after this video, gotta say, I don't hate myself enough to go through this madness. Thanks for sacrificing your sanity for our entertainment.
Well I sometimes bit the bullet and had to fuse (see the frost in the middle of this vid) but in general I was decently equipped to deal with stuff This part was definitely harder than a lot of the bosses due to RNG reliance. The rest not so much. The horsemen fight was my fav.

Demons with beefed up hp pools
Why must you continue to do this to yourself?
What did you do to deserve this?
Lilim's "Why" is actually meant for Jim himself, "Why you do this to yourself Jim?"
I love that even youtube wants DDS2 badly at this point lmao
i cant wait for us all to wake up one day, see jim uploads a new video relating to dds, and it turns out hes doing a low level challenge of the novels
Watching chakra pots get used for 48 MP hurts my soul,
Buffed up Matador as an encounter? "Startle" is an understatement.
I haven't played hardtype but that's straight up evil that you can encounter matador at full kagatsuchi
I like how lilim is questioning herself, "why? why am i used to buffing others now?"
>Matador getting rushed
You spin me right 'round baby, right 'round
6:33 I've seen him do Fog Breath and dip without summoning Inugami at all.
It's dynamic attack sheep!
5:30 Tries to turn-jack… FAILS…
Jim Reaper: Oh how the tables have turned…!😈
Matador: 😨…😱!!!!!
These are so fun to watch 🤩
According to TH-cam, you're playing DDS2. You can't run forever, Jim :^)
I actually laughed out loud when I saw Matador
why - Lilim said
“Because F you that’s why” - Matador

Hey Jim, Speaking of memes, What are the best demons/skills in hardtype?
Also, what is the highest damaging skill in hardtype?
Highest potential damage is still a double Focussed crit from a lvl 255 Sacrifice, same as vanilla.
In general elec boost Mjolnir is the best single target magic spell, wind cutter is more damaging but the shock from Mjolnir combos nicely with phys demons (assuming a target with neutral resistances.) Magma Axis is king but Demi Fiend exclusive.

@@JimReaperSaysUnsubscribe Isn't Deathbound better than Hades Blast?

All that effort for 0 EXP

DDS2 when?
I can't place your accent - I think you're a westcountry lad? Guess is Exeter or Wiltshire? please reply to a fellow disenfranchised SMT eng fan uwu x
Solid guesses, the correct answer is Bristol. I sound more Bristol when I’m nervous tho. Also don’t doxx me I guess, cheers
