    I watched the whole thing and i was like, this feels like one of those videos that would have like 3 million views. Very in depth detailed and we'll researched. Excellent

    I really enjoyed this video. SMT3 is one I gotta try as it's been on my radar for years.

    I _loved_ the Mizuchi fight. I felt like a god when I realized that you could make an Arahabaki that inherited Null Mind from its prior form as Makami, giving you a demon that counters confusion on top of nulling Physical and Ice. I really felt like I'd solved a puzzle.

    SMTIII is my favorite entry in the series, in part because it’s inspired and maybe even based of ‘Also sprach Zarathustra/Thus spoke Zarathustra’ by Friedrich Nietze.

    Thank you for this very ineresting video. Nocturne is tied with Phantasy Star IV as my absolute favorite game of all time and it is nice to see this analysis and appreceation of the game.

    1:53-2:58 is the best freaking part of any smt nocturne video intro on the internet. Its BETTER than the second title loop that plays if you dont press start on the home screen in nocturne.

    I recently started this game for the first time about a month ago with the new remaster, but made it blind to Matador and while I was hooked I was completely unprepared and finding that spike insurmountable. But I read some guides and swapped over from scratch to playing the PS2 version on my Odin2 (save states are a way better perk than no skill rolling and I actually prefer the PS2 look). Anyway I logged over 90hrs, got the true demon ending with an overkill party with 99+ Metatron with pierce, etc and then immediately dumped another 40hrs in new game+. Absolutely amazing month spent playing this, but I fell deeply into using guides and maps and smoothing out a lot of the frustrating dungeon trial and error as much as possible. I know that isn't a very pure experience compared to playing blind on a console and feeling the pain of every random expel death setting you back an hour or being lost in a warp trap dungeon for days, but that kinda tedium tends to diminish my enjoyment more and more these days so no regrets either. Playing Persona 3 now and loving it too for the similarities and differences and can't wait to work through both series newer entries this year. Don't let the frustrating bits scare you if you're a newcomer, use an emulator and experience it immediately, save yourself some frustrations and get hooked on the presentation and battle system. I got my son playing as well and he's up to Lucifer but didn't take my advice to get freikugal so now he's suffering the grind lol.

    SMT Nocturne, great game, wish Atlus would let us play the rest on PS4/5, Switch, PC, etc.

    I heard about this series from a little Weeabo from my old boyscout troop. He was playing SMT:SJ. Funny enough persona 1 was my first game. I got it on psp. Then I got p3p. And then finally I jumped over to smt3. I got walled by Matador like 5 times in the last 10 years. Just last week I beat him for the first time, ND my copy of smt:sj just came in.
    Definitely gotta thank my old friend S. Thanks buddy.

    Love your statement about the Teacher being different from other female characters in SMT.
    In the first two games, they're mostly just attached to the PC and don't express much independence.
    It's a holdover from the original MT games, I think, in which the protagonists and female character are supposed to reincarnations of izunami and izunagi.

    manual skill inheritance was always in the hd remaster from the beginning and the framerate problems only happened on the switch cause it cant handle all the particles.

    • @TechMarkYT
      @TechMarkYT ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Manual skill inheritance was not in the hd remaster initially; it was added in an update. This was all before the English version was released, so the English version launched with it.

    The Dungeon design didn't "age poorly," modern gamers just whine when things are slightly hard.

    Persona made its debut in the west with P1, Persona is also still a spinoff, it never had SMT in the title tho, only in the West, in Japan in never had it,(Digital Devil Saga,SH,Raidou and Devil Survivor never had the tag either only in the West) by the time P4G came out thr localization team was better at atlus so non SMT games stopped being called SMT, as shown with P4G,TMS and soon SH2

    I find it pretty ironic that, in a game about ideologies that are meant to be equal, some are titled "good" or "bad" ending. Kinda missing the point by a mile.

    What Mechwarrior/Battletech games have played so far?

      @@Mechassault_Man I can respect that. it was one of the most accessible games in the series. while it is not my Favorite entry in the series, it did keep the series alive long enough for it to get a more recent Mechwarrior sequel as well as a Battletech table top sim.
      If you ever have the chance/inclination I do recommend trying out the older games in the series like:
      Mechwarrior 2,
      Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries
      While they are graphically outdated, the level of customization you can put into them is enjoyable.

    Nocturne is one of my favorite games however I've gotten so lost in a dungeon before I got physically sick and had to quit the game lol. It's the worst in dungeon design out of the smt games I've played. Side note personal head Canon is actually that smt 5 is a sequel to smt nocturne
