Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game)	comment	Shin Megami Tensei IV is a 2013 game in the main Shin Megami Tensei series, developed by Atlus for the Nintendo 3DS. SMT IV also marks the first Numbered Sequel in the main series since the release of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne in 2003.The Eastern Kingdom of Mikado is a peaceful land whose inhabitants are rigidly divided into two castes: the common Casualry and the elite Luxurors. Normally, it is impossible to transcend the class you were born into; that is, unless you are chosen at the age of eighteen by "the Gauntlet Rite" to become a Samurai, one of the sworn protectors of Mikado.You are chosen to become a Samurai, and learn a truth kept hidden from the general population: that beneath Mikado lies Naraku, a realm of demons which the Samurai are tasked with suppressing. Yet when a mysterious Samurai in black armour begins to spread demonic influence beyond the borders of Naraku, the Samurai are at a loss. That is until the Monastery- a religious order of researchers and the most influential faction within Mikado- step in. Convinced that the answers lie within Naraku (and hungering for the "ancient relics" buried within), the Monastery order the Samurai to travel to the deepest and most forbidden levels of Naraku in search of the "Black Samurai". With the most senior Samurai refusing to break their code, it's up to you and your fellow Samurai apprentices to lead the exploration and discover the secret kept hidden at the lowest level of Naraku... a secret that reveals this is but the beginning of your adventure.The game uses a blend of old and new MegaTen, with field exploration in 3D, a la Nocturne, but battles in first-person 2D with animated sprites, a la Strange Journey. SMT IV also reuses the Press Turn system from Nocturne, where weaknesses can be exploited for extra turns, and the Pre Existing Encounters system from Persona 3 and Persona 4, where enemies can be seen on the field and hit for advantages in battle. However, there are also battles against special "Horde" enemies, which appear as large crowds of enemies. There is also the Smirk system. When performing certain actions in battle (like nullifying attacks), a character will smirk, which guarantees the next attack move to be incredibly powerful.The game was released on May 23, 2013 in Japan and was released on July 16, 2013 in North America - notably, one of the shortest turnaround times in franchise history for the export market at the time (Shin Megami Tensei V would later get a same-day international release). Unfortunately getting it to Europe took a bit longer- it was finally announced for a (download-only) release on October 30th 2014.Not to be confused with Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, a Nintendo DS game which used the working title Shin Megami Tensei IV before they decided not to set it in Tokyo.The official English site. Two manga spinoffs have been made called Shin Megami Tensei IV -Prayers-, which features Jonathan and a new character Asuma as the main characters, and Shin Megami Tensei IV DEMONIC GENE, which features Walter and Gina as the main characters.A Spin-Off game following a new group of Hunters in Tokyo, Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, was released in Japan on February 10, 2016.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_1044a759	comment	Dying Race: The Fair Folk or Tuatha De Danann are dying out during the game. Most of them being wiped out in their mission to retrieve the "Holy Grail", also known as Dagda's Cauldron, from the Angels. The majority of the remnants holding out in the St. Nicholas Cathedral. They ask for Nozomi to attempt to summon Lady Danu in order to have her retake her place as their leader and mother, which will also allow the Cauldron to revive all fallen members of the race. It's also revealed that they were on the verge of extinction due to the Hebrew Holy forces in the past as well, which lead to Lady Danu becoming Black Maria in order to protect them and countless others from being persecuted. To save them Nozomi is given the power of Lady Danu so that she will eventually become her.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_121476bd	comment	The Minotaur fight can go one of two very different ways based on which ally is chosen to fight with you. If you get Jonathan or Isabeau, Minotaur is a challenging but fair fight for how early he is in the game. If you get Walter, however, you might as well reset right away — Walter's main element is fire, which the Minotaur is immune to, so he'll waste most of his turns on attacks that not only deal no damage, but give the Minotaur a chance to Smirk, massively buffing its stats and suppressing its weakness to ice.

Relics can be anything; semiprecious stones, commonplace technological junk like computer mice or compact discs, or furniture like chairs and desks. The item description for the various modern items is of some confused primitive trying to make sense of them, amusingly. (Mice are thought to perhaps be a small storage box for jewelry, and they think that CDs are strange mirrors.)

Walter looks like a rebel and Jonathan looks very prim and proper. The game will also make it extremely clear which is within the first half-hour, mostly with what they appear to say in your dreams. The game also builds up Tokyo being in the game as a surprise, when outside out of it not much of an attempt is made to hide that fact.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: Don't let the revamped anime artstyle fool you — this game manages to be even Darker than Shin Megami Tensei III. Unlike that game, it doesn't run on a minimalist plot, and unsettling topics all over Mikado and Tokyo were depicted as detailed and explicit as they could, such as children being harvested for Demon food and the people of Mikado being brainwashed by rigid and insane Angels to serve God at all costs. It also brutally deconstructs the idea of Law and Chaos to a point that the ideologies are In-Universe strawman caricatures of their original selves, and choosing the Neutral route only ends up with you only temporarily halting the cycle.

The soundtrack itself does this through the game, going from old European-style fantasy tunes in Mikado to Synth and Rock in Cyberpunk Tokyo.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_1a237409	type	Order Versus Chaos
Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_1a237409	comment	Order Versus Chaos: Tokyo has been split between the Lawful Ashura-Kai, which negotiates with demons to establish order, and the Chaotic Ring of Gaea, which wants all-out war with the creatures. This is a funky reversal of how things usually go with regards to Order/Chaos, where usually "Chaos" is collaborating with demons to gain their power and "Order" is the ones looking to eradicate them. Another twist on it is that the Ashura-Kai talk and act like paramilitary yakuza, with rather scummy attitudes and shifty, underhanded negotiators, instead of the typical "holier-than-thou" attitude espoused by most Law types. The Ring of Gaea are strength-worshippers, but they worship human strength and dress like ascetic monks; it seems they only accept members who are strong enough to beat a demon to death with their bare hands. What demons work for the Ring of Gaea seem to be those that they've personally beaten the crap out of and bested, rather than ones bought with Macca like the Ashura-Kai.

The alignment heroes too, for the extent to which dedication to their ideals makes them potent allies... and enemies.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77	type	Multiple Endings
Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77	comment	Multiple Endings: There are four endings depending on your choices: Law, Chaos, Neutral, and a "Bad End". Law: Believing it's the only way to truly keep East Mikado safe, you and Merkabah open a black hole on your side of the Yamato Gate, killing everyone in Tokyo, including the two of you. Humanity has lost the ability to learn and change without knowledge and wisdom, but East Mikado is free of demons and you are remembered as its Messiah. Chaos: Believing the people of East Mikado will never be free under the current system, you and Lucifer decide to burn the city to the ground. Though many will die in the violence, Mikado will rise from the ashes as a land where people are finally free to choose their own path in life. Neutral: Believing that neither the forces of Chaos or Law have humanity's best interests at heart, you use the power of Masakado to remove the ceiling above Tokyo, destroying East Mikado in the process. Though the people of East Mikado are forced to move to Tokyo, the world is restored to the way it once was. Nothingness: Believing it's the only way to truly free the world from YHVH's machinations and the eternal battle between Law and Chaos, you choose to sabotage the Yamato Gate, opening a series of black holes that consume the entire universe.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_1da01dce	comment	The Computer Is a Lying Bastard: The Final Bosses are at level 99. Several high-end Superbosses such as Astaroth, Beelzebub, and the Fiends, range from level 80 to 90 despite being more difficult. It's easily possible for a player to expect easy fights from the New Game Plus superbosses due to having parties that can easily smash the final bosses, only to meet Charon about five turns later. This surprisingly also works in reverse in some Challenge Quests, where you fight demons that should be able to wipe the floor with your party at the stage you get the quest, yet are perfectly beatable. The most conspicuous example is the "Protect The Tower" quest, where you have to slay 5 Pest Hordes in a row. The hordes are level 35, the same as your party would average at that point. The hordes, however, are made entirely of Nidhoggr. An individual Nidhoggr is level 62. In an even worse example, the very first miniboss, the Disaster Horde, is a level 6 group of Wild Hunt demons. Wild Hunt is level 53, and is not encountered until much, much later in the game.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: The game has numerous references to Strange Journey and other games in the series. The Black Samurai wears a black Demonica Suit. Demons appear as blue static on the field before you fight them. New demon enemies were blue static in Strange Journey before you analyzed them. The chances of finding a Fiend is 1/256, just like the chances of finding a Fiend in Shin Megami Tensei I. In the aftermath of Camp Ichigaya, an NPC in Shibuya mentions that a "B-grade" magazine was right about the Ring of Gaea being an evil demon-worshipping cult. The Cult of Gaea, and its murderous tendencies, were once featured in Ayakashi Monthly, a rag that Chiaki found distasteful. Gozu-Tennoh, or Gozutennou, is actually Baal, and requires Human Sacrifice to take on his true form. Like when Chiaki merged with the former and used Manikin sacrifice to become the latter. Two of the Hunters in Tokyo that appear on the blackboards are Romero and Anthony. The command center of the Counter-Demon Force HQ in Infernal/Blasted Kasumigaseki is wrecked. Much like how the command center of the Red Sprite is wrecked at the beginning of the Law/Chaos routes. The "Afterlife" DLC missions, wherein Charon's assistants take you to an alternate, sealed-off version Shinjuku, use a remix of "Shinjuku Hygienic Hospital" as background music. The area itself is referred to as a "dead city." One quest involves clearing out hordes of Nidhoggr at the base of the Sky Tower. This is an allusion to Norse Mythology where Nidhoggr would gnaw at the roots of the World Tree. The "Morningstar Aura" DLC headgear gives Flynn the blond hair and mismatched red and blue eyes of Louis Cyphre. The Hunter Tournament music is a reverbed version of the theme of Ginza from the PlayStation version of Shin Megami Tensei I. The ultimate Law-exclusive boss is Mastema from Strange Journey, but what puts the fight here is that a lot of what he says upon losing is eerily similar to what he says before and after his fight in that game.

However, accepting any quest that doesn't fall under the "Delivery" category (which always count as accepted if they can be redone) will completely freeze the story until you complete it or abandon it.

Discovering weaknesses of enemy demons. The only way to find them out is to simply spam attacks and pray they don't reflect, drain, or nullify them, using up all turns. In a new area, this can lead to every single battle being a huge risk, as a single reflected attack can turn the tide of a battle. It gets a bit better once you start picking up Almighty spells, as while they can't hit enemy weaknesses, they also can't be resisted against by any random-encounter enemy other than the DLC-exclusive Mitamas.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_2b3bd260	comment	Downplayed with stats. Stat gauges top out and turn blue at 200, but you can increase stats beyond 200. The cap for each stat is 999, which is never reached in practice because you can only gain a total of 490 stat points from leveling up (98 level-ups * 5 points per level-up); to grind the rest of the way, you need an obscene number of Incenses, which are difficult to come by outside of Challenge Quests, and unlike with Shop Fodder, App Points, and experience points, there is no DLC quest for farming Incenses. You can farm them from Red Rider, who drops 10 of every kind of Incense. However, not only does he spawn extremely rarely, he's the Fiend most likely to abuse Almighty moves to just wipe you and your team into oblivion.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	type	Awesome, but Impractical
Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: Finally averted with Megido, which now has a respectable MP cost and deals more damage than the other mid-level spells. In the members-only Ginza shops, you can buy Almighty Rounds, which are your one infinite-use means of inflicting Almighty damage. However, they are horrendously expensive (and even more so on Master difficulty, where they cost 1.3 million Macca!) and they have an attack power of 20, which is weaker than even the first bullets you come across. And Almighty's inability to exploit weaknesses for Press Turns (aside from one very specific skill from a demon only obtainable in the final DLC quest) ensures that it won't give you any tactical advantage whatsoever. The Demon Enhancer apps can fall into this. With all five of them, all your demons effectively earn double the stat boosts, except they're all spread across each stat, including their dump stat. Despite that, it allows lower-level demons to become monsters when trained to high levels, likely having higher stats than most high level demons, to boot. The impractical bit? Low level demons for the most part don't exactly have strong moves, which you will need to fuse onto them, and their exp requirement per level is a lot higher than that of demons that start higher, meaning they take a lot more effort to get where you want them. Dragon Eye—yes, the spell that everyone hates in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne because bosses can use it for extra turns while the player and their demons can never learn it—is finally obtainable for your demons as Guardian's Eye! However, it requires defeating the hardest DLC boss available so you can obtain the demon who has it. On top of that, the spell costs an outrageous 255 MP, and said demon will never have enough MP to cast it more than once; you can pass it on but the inheriting demon will be able to use it about three times at most. And finally, well, you beat said hardest DLC boss, so unless you still need to beat up the Fiends and the New Game Plus Superbosses, Guardian's Eye is more of a Bragging Rights Reward than anything.

Some of the lines in Blasted and Infernal Tokyo seem to indicate that the story is based on one. In particular, Blasted Tokyo Akira says that, due to the Samurai helping them, he'll build a new kingdom and call it the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado after their home and Jonathan points out this would make him Aquila, the first king of their kingdom. Jonathan and Walter's question on whether they had met Flynn before indicates this as well, meaning that Blasted and Infernal Tokyo are things that happened in previous cycles.

However, their methods of trying to convey this message kind of fall flat: the Bad Futures they send you to not only have genuinely likable characters, but they're arguably only marginally worse than the present, and by the end of both you're made them better places by putting the Akiras in charge. On the other hand, both worlds represent the logical end to the machinations of Law and Chaos, and both are just as bad as the other for different reasons. Then again, it could be an in-verse case of Accidental Aesop; no matter how bad things seem to be, there's always a way of making it ever so slightly better. Burroughs herself will comment on how screwed up the White is, so it doesn't seem like the player is expected to find their arguments compelling, to say the least.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e	comment	Bittersweet Ending: As per Shin Megami Tensei tradition, all of the endings are this. The common factors are that Jonathan and Walter are sacrificed in order to form their respective alignments' representatives, and on Law and Chaos, you kill Isabeau (almost) with your own hands. Law: Mikado is transformed into a peaceful kingdom under God's rule...after having humanity's capability to sin at is taken away by stripping them of literature, education, and free will, while all of Tokyo is sucked into a black hole, including you and Merkabah. Chaos: Mikado and Tokyo are free of the forces of Law...but demons are unleashed into Tokyo and Mikado, the leadership of the latter surrender, and both places become scorched societies of demons and humanity fighting for power. Even Neutral gets in on this, as both your Law and Chaos buddies still die. It's still a Bittersweet Ending, just with less emphasis on "bitter" and more towards "sweet". Moreover, you're warned by Masakado himself that this is only a temporary stop to the eternal conflict between YHVH and Lucifer, and that sooner or later the Vicious Cycle will continue. The Nihilism ending borders on being an outright Downer Ending: All life in the universe is finally free from YHVH's expectations and control ...because you destroyed all of existence.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_446adf5f	comment	Summoning Ritual: Three are quests that can be done on New Game Plus. The first is involves the revival of Astaroth, where Minako along with the aid of others is attempting to, and succeed, in summoning him. The second involves a quest in Infernal Tokyo where Master Therion has an orgy/Sabbath between Demonoids and Neurishers to summon Mother Harlot, but only ends up summoning her in a alternate Tokyo due to Flynn interfering. The third happens upon Jonathan's route and requires that Flynn slay Morax, Tokisada, Chimera, and Gryphon. Their collective heads are to be sacrificed in order to summon Seraph.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_47e4f5f5	comment	Golden Ending: Neutral, as usual, but even by the standards of Neutral endings this game's is optimistic, and is often considered the rosiest mainline SMT ending. To elaborate: It's the only route where any of your Samurai companions survive, one of your major quests consists of bringing hope to the humans of Tokyo, there's a scene where you and Isabeau read manga that's there for no reason other than to be sweet and heartwarming, by the end the populace of Tokyo and Mikado have your back, and you finally unseal Tokyo from its 25 / 1500-year isolation. Probably not coincidentally, it's also considered the hardest mainline SMT ending to get.

Mikado has Mastema, who aided Aquila in repelling the demons and setting up Mikado. He also ends up being the one responsible for sealing three of the Archangels. For the Law Route, there's Gabriel of the Four Archangels, while the Chaos route features Lucifer in this role. Commander Hope is a subversion. Everything from his mannerisms to his dress sense to his very name tells you he ought to be The Paragon, but he devolves into an almost complete nonentity once the player reaches Tokyo, with Abbot Hugo wresting control of the Samurai from him and the player running into the people who are really in the know of the finer points of the plot in relatively short order.

If you haven't already pieced it together from all the Foreshadowing, Abbot Hugo calls you once you set foot in the Unclean Ones' country to confirm a classic MegaTen staple. And much later on, we have Jonathan's inconspicuous line that hints on what the hell is going on in Blasted and Infernal Tokyo.

After some time of wading through Naraku and the grueling battle with the Minotaur, you start finding oddly modern stuff such as guns and signs in modern Japanese (called "mystic script"). And then the Samurai find a large observation deck, which reveals the true nature of the Unclean Ones' country... Tokyo. As in, modern-day Tokyo - you're going down the Tokyo Skytree. After activating the Yamato Reactor, you, Walter, and Jonathan find yourself back at the Counter-Demon Force base for some reason. You three head out to the surface, only to discover that Tokyo has been completely leveled. Though it is a short while before you three discover an even greater wham moment: That you're in an alternate version of Tokyo, one that lost out to the angels during the demon infestation 25 years ago. In Demonic Gene, soon after Gina and Walter meet Mastema, the Skytree shatters, trapping the prentice Samurai in Tokyo and cutting off Mikado. In Prayers, Jonathan returns, blessed with angel power. He undoes Asuma's demon fusion... and the demon promptly releases a titanic angel to kill everyone.

Infernal Tokyo, the world steeped in anarchy and conflict, with Akira as its ruler, will start forming the foundations of an ordered society through the regulation of access to Neurishers.

Several other mandatory actions also impose a change in alignment points, such as killing the Minotaour (automatically leans you towards Chaos) and rescuing the hostages in Kagome Tower (automatically shifts you towards Law). Played for laughs in demon conversations; occasionally a demon will ask you a question or demand you do something, and give you three choices, all of which are the same answer. For example, a demon asking you whether humans or demons are superior will give you "Demons", "Demons", and "Demons" as choices.

Merkabah, on the other hand, loves to increase his own stats while lowering yours, and the battle can go uphill for you in a hurry without Silent Prayer. Demon Fusion Lite, which allows basic 2-demon fusion with computer-picked skill inheritance seems pointless when you have Mido's full-featured demon fusion app. However, the Lite version allows some skills that have restrictions on being inherited to get passed on to new demons, such as Desperate Hit and Die For Me!, to be inherited anyway. Also, the resulting new demon will have full HP and MP, which can be useful in a pinch if you need a new, healthy demon immediately or if you want to spam high-cost skills.

Given the effort you need to get them, they're not all that useful. Mother Harlot, gotten from the same quest as Asherah and Ishtar, is a massive example. Having to beat the game and do a Chaos run on New Game Plus while doing a quest chain that starts with one of the strongest bosses in the game isn't enough. You also have to beat all of the 1/256 Fiend encounters except Chemtrail, and two of them (Red Rider and Trumpeter) cannot be fought on the Chaos route due to their areas being locked off. Mother Harlot's still decent, but given that you'll have to beat Astaroth, most of the Fiends, Merkabah, and most likely Lucifer to be able to fuse her, you probably won't be using her much, if at all.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_5b81ca8d	comment	Disc-One Nuke: Not long after you get into the World Map, you can reach Ikebukuro and fight demons that are far stronger than you are, while still being beatable. By staying here and killing some of these demons (such as Zhen), you can get a couple of levels before actually getting to the point where you need to go to Ikebukuro. Ironically, many players find this by accident thanks to the annoying World Map. Angel, Heqet, and Gremlin are three easily found demons in the early game, and will evolve into much more powerful forms around the early sections of Tokyo, making the above trick even easier. Or you could take the time or money to summon one of the early Special Summons; in particular, Fortuna is quite powerful. There are a number of demons, such as Ishtar, Astaroth, and Take-Mikazuchi, that require very difficult New Game Plus quests to unlock but whose recruitable versions come in at a much lower level. These seem to be intended as Disc One Nukes for a New Game Plus, as their move pool includes endgame-level moves like Samarecarm and Hades Blast, allowing you to get these moves at midgame on a new cycle.

Bosses are arbitrarily unwilling to talk if you try Scout or Negotiate. Otherwise, bosses would be trivial to defeat by either making them go away or join you (although boss demons become available for fusion upon defeat). Every other chat skill works just fine though (unless they're also a human or horde, who won't listen to anything).

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_6320eced	comment	Gameplay and Story Segregation: After the Minotaur boss fight, the party finds a room that Walter remarks "looks good for a rest...my demons have been pestering me to let them heal themselves". You will not be healed after the following cutscene, and the room does not serve as a healing point if you access it yourself afterward. To be fair, shortly after this you find a Terminal, allowing you to teleport between the Barracks and the deep areas of Naraku. A quest requires you to fuse a Baldur to fight another Baldur for all eternity, since they're both immune to all attacks shy of a certain plant. In battle, he is understandably just another demon. A story quest involves you rescuing three masked men held captive by demons, with said men later revealed to be three of the Archangels, Michael, Raphael, and Uriel. The masks keep their identities hidden from the wearers, but if the wearer's name is said out loud or if a fellow removes it, then the mask's curse is broken. With that in mind, it's possible to name Flynn Michael or Raphael, yet what his name is ultimately has no effect on the story as a whole. The air in Blasted Tokyo is explicitly stated to be poisonous and lethal to humans, but you, Jonathan, and Walter can travel outdoors all day without the protective masks that the residents of Blasted Shinjuku wear, with no ill effect whatsoever. Lampshaded by some of the residents who question why you aren't wearing the protection they are.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_63557923	comment	Death World: Tokyo essentially fits this bill after it gets sealed off (the rest of the world was nuked except for the incarnation in Infernal Tokyo). Demons that attack on sight are everywhere, and the only way to keep them from killing you is if you kill them first or through negotiation. You could also feed them a Red, but if you're outside of the Ashura-Kai's protective circle, you'll be made into them. There are poisonous lakes around the city and with no sun, growing food is difficult, and the lack of natural game forces people to hunt and kill demons for food. Blasted Tokyo is even worse off as the air is toxic, the water is lethal and the poison has a 100% kill rate, while the land is a desert filled with demons that are trying to wipe out the unclean in God's name. Infernal Tokyo on the other hand is an eternal war zone between clans of Demonoids fighting for power, with Tokyo's infrastructure, while at least recognizable unlike in Blasted Tokyo, in various states of sheer disrepair.

Which is justified, considering that Merkabah has other plans with the gate. It's impossible to complete the terminal quest in all the routes except for Neutral; even then, if you somehow miss a terminal in one of the final dungeons, you're screwed. In the Law and Chaos paths, several Challenge Quests become "Closed" permanently if they're not completed by the time you lock in your alignment. In the case of the Chaos path, all quests pertaining to the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado are closed as you've declared war on Mikado. Even the Neutral path isn't safe: dally too long, and the requester will be too busy migrating to Tokyo before the Ceiling comes down to let you complete those quests.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8	type	Guide Dang It!
Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8	comment	Guide Dang It!: The game has little to no Neutral choices, only Law or Chaos ones. So the only way to get the Neutral ending is to carefully balance out dozens of often ambiguous Lawful and Chaotic choices. Not to mention that the alignment-locking question can easily lock you out of the Neutral Path if you have been too neutral. And then there's the secret to the Neutral path. If you pick the first option for each alignment question except for the last one, it's a really good first step to getting Neutral. You also need to know to avoid the lifeless woman in Ikebukuro, take the left path for all three questions before meeting Yuriko, side with Jonathan before entering the Alternate Tokyos, and for the final alignment question, choose to destroy the status quo. This must all be done in addition to avoiding Challenge Quests that affect alignment. Finally manage to get on the Neutral path? Have fun dealing with the 19 required sidequests to proceed! While some of them are obvious, others are not so much. Some aren't even in the pub, requiring you to find mostly out-of-the-way generic humans to accept a quest for! If it's any consolation, only the human-issued quests and Nozomi-related quests are necessary to complete, and none of them require you to fight the level 90 Superbosses. Any of the missions where you have to find things across Tokyo. Even if you know where they are, the awful world map will still make it confusing. The Enoch quest. For one thing, you're not likely to know that it even exists, as you have to talk to Mido post-alignment lock - which is something that wouldn't occur to most players. Additionally, unless you know about the myth, it wouldn't occur to you that Enoch is Metatron. The game only shows a potential special fusion once you've acquired one of its ingredients. While some are useful enough that you'll probably recruit or fuse one, the sheer number of demons in this game makes it very possible to not know one is available. One in particular requires all four of the higher breed of elemental demons, which require fusing two types of demons that can be difficult to acquire in the field. Finding the stores that sell certain armor pieces necessary to complete a set. For instance, there are two quests in Tokyo that give you the greaves of certain suits of armor. One of the stores that sells the other parts of the set is in Infernal Tokyo, and can only be accessed post-alignment lock. The other is in Mikado, but the store will only sell the pieces if you reach the place in the Neutral Path. The 1/256 Fiends. The only hint that something like them even exists is an NPC in Minami Sunamachi; knowing where they spawn is another matter.

During the wait for those to respawn one can bind/talk Barbatos then use a Fundraise app, since he typically gives more Macca than most demons in the game. A slow but reliable method towards the endgame is to fight Yakuza Hordes, who are weak and drop 5,000 Macca each time you defeat one. They are uncommon enemies though.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_72dd7026	type	What the Hell, Player?
Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_72dd7026	comment	What the Hell, Player?: If you refuse to let a demon learn a new skill or change one of their skills, they'll express disgust at you. This can happen even if they're replacing one skill with a similar but obviously-weaker skill (e.g. changing Hades Blast to Critical Wave), a skill that doesn't suit the demon's stats (e.g. high-end magic skills on a high-Strength, low-Magic demon), or a skill that has no use (e.g. changing a skill into a particular Pleroma when the demon has no skills that the Pleroma can boost). There's an app that gives you the ability "Fundraise"...which is an awfully nice thing to call robbery. "Fundraising" will incur exclamations of fear and disgust from the target, and even the demons who tend to praise your bad behavior will not be happy about a human forcing them to hand over cash. Even worse if you bind the target beforehand so they can't retaliate, often prompting them to declare that Humans Are the Real Monsters. In the Hunter tournaments, if you choose to spare your opponent rather than finish them off, the violence-hungry audience gets extremely angry. Yes, you get booed for invoking Video Game Caring Potential. You get this reaction from the few "neutral" choices in dialogue, since in those cases they're typically indecisive.

Fittingly, the game's official English translation name it "the Expanse", rather than "Demon World" or "Atziluth" as with previous games.

Except that only the Law side is accurate: while the four demons depicted are indeed aligned with Chaos, only Lilith has a role comparable to the four Archangels, another is a forgettable boss working with the Ashura-Kai (which is enemies with Lilith) to keep three of the Archangels imprisoned, the third opposes both the Ashura-Kai and Lilith, and the last is an optional sidequest boss exclusive to New Game Plus and has no connection whatsoever to either the plot, or the other demons. It's a bit of a case of Wolverine Publicity, since these demons were all created by the guest designers.

In Infernal Tokyo, just after Kenji's dead, Akira starts organizing the Neurishers and rationing their use, establishing the foundations of an ordered society. On a meta level, this is done to elicit support for the White and their plan to blow up the Reactor, destroying the universe (if not multiverse) for good.

This is largely due to his greatly reduced HP as a playable demon, and the fact that he has two weaknesses. Two weaknesses doesn't mean much to a demon with 17,000 HP, but to a demon with only 500 HP it's positively crippling. Many veteran players advise new ones to train him until he gets the skill Spirit Focus, which triples the power of magical attacks, and then fuse him away.

On Law, the former forbids you from entering Ichigaya again, while the latter locks off the Alternate Tokyos. On Chaos, the former lets you do nothing worthwhile in Mikado anymore, and a special one is done after defeating Merkabah, which forces you into a playable epilogue that leads to the ending. On Neutral, the locked content is only temporary. Until you beat Merkabah, you cannot do anything in Mikado, and in between Kenji and Lucifer, Ichigaya and the Alternate Tokyos are out of reach. Once Lucifer is defeated, you can go almost anywhere, since the game doesn't end until you voluntarily enter a specific location that isn't in the way of anything else (Cafe Florida).

Possibly justified, as the members of the horde are sometimes shown to be arguing amongst themselves, and will spend some turns doing so rather than actually uniting to attack you. The Four Riders can be fought individually as hard-as-diamonds Superboss fights. They can also be fought all at once in Infernal Tokyo as part of a sidequest...where not only is each individual Rider weaker, but the entire group combined isn't any more powerful than the Final Boss.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_834427cd	type	Cap
Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_834427cd	comment	Cap: Downplayed with HP and MP. In a rarity for the Shin Megami Tensei franchise, the maximum HP and MP for you and your demons can exceed 999. However, HP and MP scales remain similar to past games, so seeing four-digit HP on your characters is very rare (generally, only physical-based demons near level 99 will be able to touch it) unless you use Doping (a skill to boost HP capacity), and an MP capacity of over 999 is even rarer. Downplayed with stats. Stat gauges top out and turn blue at 200, but you can increase stats beyond 200. The cap for each stat is 999, which is never reached in practice because you can only gain a total of 490 stat points from leveling up (98 level-ups * 5 points per level-up); to grind the rest of the way, you need an obscene number of Incenses, which are difficult to come by outside of Challenge Quests, and unlike with Shop Fodder, App Points, and experience points, there is no DLC quest for farming Incenses. You can farm them from Red Rider, who drops 10 of every kind of Incense. However, not only does he spawn extremely rarely, he's the Fiend most likely to abuse Almighty moves to just wipe you and your team into oblivion.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_8454f523	type	Superboss
Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_8454f523	comment	Superboss: There's one or two ultimate bosses for each route: Mastema for the Law route, Red Rider for the Neutral route and the Demiurge for the Chaos Route. In addition, Beelzebub acts as the ultimate boss for all routes and is the second part of a Sequential Boss fight while also being a whopping Level 90, with New Game Plus adding Astaroth at the same level. The Fiends, which barring the Neutral exclusive Red Rider, the Law/Neutral exclusive Trumpeter, and the Chaos exclusive Mother Harlot, are available in all routes after the alignment lock. They (excepting David, Plasma and Mother Harlot) have a spawn rate of 1 in 256 odds, only appear in a specific spot of a specific map, have at least 5 press turns (Chemtrail has 6), are harder than the Final Bosses, for the most part, will spam Almighty attacks like nobody's business if you fully protect yourself from their main offensive moves, and drop very good rewards. The four Riders can also be fought at once in a quest in Infernal Tokyo, but they are all heavily toned down and can be defeated even with a party that isn't prepped for the Final Bosses. Yet more are available in some of the Downloadable Content. Of course the true ultimate boss is none other than Masakado, who requires you buy the other DLC as he drains/repels most elements and resists almighty, and only those bosses along with the DLC Palette Swap of Asmodeus, called Aeshma, who is obtainable after getting both Archangel DLC, have pierce and elemental pierce type attacks.

Unlike Nocturne which is consistent with its oppressive and dark atmosphere and Strange Journey where the human protagonists are professional adults in the military and thus have the humor regulated to side demons and quests, the four Samurai leads are prone to funny dialogue and moments as things start out, teasing and joking with each other. All this serves to do is make the inevitable route split all the more bitter once The Fellowship Has Ended, as all those funny moments and bonds get replaced with betrayal.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_9dab0a6e	type	Continuity Nod
Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_9dab0a6e	comment	Continuity Nod: The Protagonist has a dream sequence at the start of the game mirrors the one in Shin Megami Tensei I. The Protagonist is from a place called Kiccigiorgi, which is named after the Tokyo neighborhood Kichijoji, which is also where Shin Megami Tensei I's protagonist is from. Additionally, both have to deal with the loss of someone really close to them early on. The first two major boss fights are against the Minotaur and Medusa, the first two bosses in Megami Tensei. Also like in that game you begin by climbing down a tower. The Black Samurai wears a Jack's Squad black Demonica armor from Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, as did all the members of the Counter-Demon Force. The Ring of Gaea has a statue of Mem Aleph in their temple. The Black Samurai introduces herself as Yuriko. Gabriel, Michael, Raphael and Uriel are behind East Mikado, referencing Tokyo Millennium in Shin Megami Tensei II. In fact, if you look closely at the mission text when Gabriel assigns you to rescue the others, Millennium is in bold. Sister Gabby is clad in white and blue: the color scheme for the Order of Messiah, the Law faction in the first two games. The Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Black and Gold Demonicas are available as equipment. The Gauntlets every Samurai wears and uses to summon demons look exactly like the COMPs on the left arms of the Demonica suits. The Tokyo-based Hunters, the Ashura-kai, and the Ring of Gaea all summon demons via smartphone apps, like in Devil Survivor 2. Mido, the fusion app, is completely based on the Cathedral of Shadows fusion master from I, II, and especially Nocturne, complete with certain BGMs that play while in this app. There's also a meta one - during your confrontation with the White in the Neutral route, Flynn is referred to as the "fifth son". While this also references the apparent number of alternate universes that has led up to this point, it also... references the number of "alternate universes" up to this point. If you count Strange Journey, as Atlus does, Flynn is the fifth main-series protagonist of an SMT game. He is the "fifth son". A Demonoid in Infernal Tokyo mentions that the Demon Summoning Program was distributed freely through the Internet. Kiyoharu also reacts oddly to the comment the Samurai received the Gauntlet in a special Rite; as far as he knows, the program is freeware disseminated before God's Wrath. The client who invites you to the tournament is an ex-hunter named Okamoto. If you go back to Club Milton after the alignment lock, you can hear 'Nocturne's normal battle theme in the background. There's a sidequest involving stopping a demon summoning. Said summoning is referred to as a Sabbath and acts more like an orgy than a summoning ritual, with the leader being Master Therion. The Fiends have a special boss theme, which is a remix of their theme in Nocturne and the remake of the original two games. Sanat has a number of unique skills including Deadly Fury, Gaea Rage, and Javelin Rain. These same skills were also unique to the Demi-fiend from Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne. When using the Streetpass function, you can hear a piece of music from Shin Megami Tensei I. The second Training Battle pits you against a Jack Frost, Pyro Jack, and Jack the Ripper. Jack Frost mentions that Jack the Ripper is their long-lost relative. This reference is two-fold - for one, it's a reference to how Jack the Ripper has been absent from the franchise for a long time. The other reference is which game Jack the Ripper appeared in: Jack Bros. for the Virtual Boy, which had Jack Frost, Pyro Jack, and Jack the Ripper as playable characters.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_9e8a2db8	comment	Ignorance Is Bliss: The Law Faction's goal with the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado. Keeping the world forever in Medieval Stasis and ignorant of all knowledge and wisdom. To the point that people reading books can lead them to becoming demons because of the anger they feel for being ignorant of how terrible their lives are in the Fantastic Caste System and the fact that they are denied the right to learn. Fridge Brilliance applies as you realize exactly what it is that the Angels are trying to do - remove the Original Sin and Lucifer's taint from Humanity, leaving them forever innocent and unable and unwilling to change anything- the Law faction's golden dream. On the Neutral Route talking to people in Mikado will have them realize that they were blindly following the Archangels without ever meeting them. You know the Ashura-Kai ain't dealing in sunshine and smiles, but when Tenkai warns you about this, you realize how deep the horror in Reverse Hills goes.

Wind blows the enemy off the field. Ice freezes the enemy and then shatters. Lightning electrocutes enemies as bolts arc across their bodies.

The angels' stronghold of Purgatorium consists of an entire pocket dimension filled with cathedrals hewn from floating rocks, pillars of light that pull you from the floor and to the ceiling (reversing your minimap in the process,) and walkways that don't even exist until you step on them. Its demonic counterpart, Lucifer Palace, uses teleporters to generate the Hall of Eternity, from which only the most observant can escape. Sufficiently strong demons can make "Domains", dimensional distortions covered in pulsing tendrils that shimmer with power. Your minimap doesn't even work in most of these, making them seem even more maze-like. They're also Bigger on the Inside.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_ba5bbda5	comment	Mirror Character: The two DLC Superbosses for Blasted and Infernal Tokyo. While their motivations are pretty far apart—the Ancient of Days is trying to finish cleaning the world out to make room for God's chosen, and Sanat's just a Blood Knight nonpareil who's looking to see if the seeds of chaos he sowed well before humanity evolved have ripened to his liking—the entities they're based on are apparently regarded in scholarship as related to each other. Now consider their race names—"Godly" for the Ancient, which in this series typically means "Law King", and "Chaos King" (contracted to "Chaos" in the English version) for Sanat. The "kings" of the two sides would be regarded by some scholars as the same entity. Sanat, depending on your answer to his taunt, might even remark the "true war" is fought against the "dispensation of the universe", a phrase the Ancient often repeats at the beginning of his fight. It's enough to make you wonder if Atlus is trying to say in this game that Law and Chaos are ultimately just negative images of each other, rather than genuinely dissimilar.

You need to make money by other means, either by doing repeatable quests, selling loot or just straight-up begging the demons themselves for cash. Human enemies do drop small amounts of money when killed, however, and Hoodlum Hordes and Yakuza Hordes leave behind thousands of Macca upon defeat. Averted with Black Rider. Defeating him rewards you with 300 000 Macca, plus 3 items that sell for 10 000 each, but offset by an extremely low encounter rate and the fact that the spends his first set of Press Turns spamming Wastrel Beam. See Luck-Based Mission. As far as the "begging for money", though, the late-game Fallen enemies, Shax and Barbatos, give up copious amounts of money. Binding one of them and using Fundraise on it until it comes out of it can often net tens of thousands of Macca.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_c335b9ec	comment	Irony: Those who became Demonoids in Infernal Tokyo did it out of a desire to drive the demons out. However, their newfound power drove many of them into blood frenzied fighters who attacked each other and others were too weak to defeat the demons and submitted to them instead. On the Neutral Route one Samurai NPC will mention that they destroyed King Aquila's statue because the Archangels said that to revere anyone but God is idolatry. Guess who gets a statue and be viewed as a savior in the Law ending? The new rulers of Mikado (Four Archangels) are revealed on the Law alignment to have commanded the Samurai to go around the kingdom making people perform fumi-e (the act of stomping on a religious effigy to symbolically defile it) to see if they are loyal to the Black Samurai or not, with the intention of executing every person who doesn't step on it. This act was used in the past to see whether Japanese people were Christian but with Christian imagery instead of the Black Samurai. One of Archangel Michael's attacks inflicts 666 HP of damage to each of your party members, despite the user being a servant of God.

The only reason they both get along with you is they both apparently came from realities where you sided with them after the split regardless of which one you sided with. After returning to their reality, they never meet again before dying to empower their respective faction leaders.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Two of the main characters are named Isabeau and Navarre. The Joker's Dark Knight incarnation is hanging out with the Ashura-kai and Demons at Club Milton in Tokyo. In the back of the special shops in Ginza, you can see what looks like a Storm Trooper helmet and Darth Vader's helmet The samurai uniform without the jacket resembles Luke Skywalker's outfit from A New Hope. The Wicker Man's compendium entry states that strangers would sometimes wander across them and wonder how their sacrifices got burned, a reference to a memetic line from The Wicker Man (2006). Isabeau's manga is about a female soldier in France who dresses as a man. The Baker mentions "No Longer Human" and "The Dancing Girl" amongst the books he enjoys. After the Black Samurai's execution one Casualry mentions wanting to read Paradise Lost. Demonee-Ho quotes Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in the Training Battle against him. There are Demonoids in Infernal Tokyo that look like Azazel and Comic Book/Vampirella. Pluto sounds a lot like a Dalek. A NPC compares one of the fully armored Samurai who come from Sky Tower to guys seen in a fantasy movie about a ring. One of the Hunters in Tokyo is Constantine. There's a skill that summons demons from the stock into all empty party slots called "Bad Company." A reference that is lost on Western players is the RxW Smacktacular XIII, which is a reference to the Red White Music Battle, an annual event that airs on New Year's Eve in Japan; which also explains why the demons are treated like pop idols. Should you shake a demon with the "kid" personality for money and wring all the cash you can from him, he will say "Nobody puts Baby Demon in the corner!". Sometimes a demon, when Scouted, will ask what role he would play. Answering "A spare, in case" will freak him out, refusing to become "emergency rations". This is not the first time an Atlus game has contained a jerkass, Bad Boss religious leader who manipulates the military to his own ends in a short-sighted manner. And is named Hugo. There's a Demonoid with a green face, hat, and trenchcoat that looks similar to The Mask. The enemy hunters during the qualifying round of the Hunter Tournament are named after the Hunters from The Running Man. The Terminal design is a reference to Cerebro.

Hilariously, you can still get Critical Hits on them for extra turns, as "0 HP damage" doesn't count as a Block. Naturally, they carry the Rare Candy and Shop Fodder items you're after. They do have one big weakness, though — they are easily dispatched with attacks that have been repeatedly powered up through demon whispers, since that damage bonus is applied after the Mitama's resistances.

Charon's prices are steep though, and if a player can't make a payment in either form they will be dead for real, thus ensuring that while you're no longer likely to lose hours of progress to a single unlucky turn, death is still more than a slap on the wrist.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_d24ed873	comment	Developer's Foresight: Try doing the Ancient of Days or Sanat DLC quests before traveling to Blasted Tokyo or Infernal Tokyo for the first time. Yes, the game does take into account whether you have defeated Pluto and Kenji or not. Doing certain quests that can be done before alignment lock after it is locked will have the dialogue change. One such example is Tiamat mentioning the destruction of the Ashura-kai after alignment lock, while before it she mentions that the Ashura-kai were wary of Flynn participating. Demons that you normally wouldn't encounter in battles (such as Alice) still have battle sprites, which are only seen if they get lost or if you press the start button on their status screen. On the Neutral route, when Masakado joins you, if you already have Masakado in your party, Masakado will merge with the one in your party. The Terminal Guardian has different disguises based on where you encounter him, but the demon he summons depends on how many times you've encountered him previously, and no matter what Terminal you're at and what demon(s) he summons, his fully-voiced dialogue will change to match his disguise and demon(s). Even in extreme cases, e.g. your final encounter with him being in Ueno or your first encounter with him being in one of the two final dungeons. A comprehensive guide to his dialogue can be found here. If you hold off selling Relics until you get to Tokyo, the Ashura-kai dealers and clerks will explain the process of trading them in for Macca, something they don't do if B or Q in Mikado has already done it for you.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_d52d28b6	type	Hypocrite
Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_d52d28b6	comment	Hypocrite: The Angels. They are the ones who unleashed God's Wrath, a horde of Nukes across the earth to wipe out mankind saying it was the result of their sinful knowledge once the Expanse was opened and demons started flooding in. However, a Demonoid in Infernal Tokyo revealed that the portal to the Expanse that opened 25 years ago and the result of the events that lead to the game was all part of God's schemes, which is why Kenji sided with the demons. A debatable and possibly rare positive example is Akira in Infernal Tokyo. He talks big and wants to use Flynn, Jonathan, and Walter and the prophecy they represent to brute force his way into the position of top dog in Toyko, but in reality he's a coward who can barely handle even the thought of a fight. He does admit his weakness after you help him seize Shinjuku, however. In the end, it's revealed that he wants to use his power to reform society and ultimately bring to Tokyo equality between the weak and the strong. When using the Fundraise skill, demons will call you out for robbing from them. It gets hypocritical if a demon complaining about it has Macca Beam or Wastrel Beam, two attacks that vaporize a percentage of your Macca. It's even more hypocritical when you consider that enemy demons never run out of Macca and can be Fundraised as many times as your greedy heart desires; you stealing pocket change from a demon with bottomless cash is wrong, but a demon destroying 20% of your finite (and often scarce!) Macca reserves is A-OK! Tayama is likely the biggest hypocrite in the game. He insists that his Red Pills and the atrocious way in which they are produced are necessary for keeping demons under control, while at the same time restricting the market in smartphones, an even more efficient way of controlling them, to himself and his men. An NPC even mentions that a Hunter will have to deal Reds for months before they're allowed to have a phone.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3	type	Anti-Frustration Features
Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3	comment	Anti-Frustration Features The game takes a cue from Devil Survivor, giving you the ability to choose what abilities fused demons inherit. Though money isn't as plentiful as in Strange Journey, healing only costs 100 Macca at Hunter Association bars, and is absolutely free at the barracks. A game over requires your whole party to be wiped out, instead of just your main character, who can still be revived by a demon with access to a Recarm-type spell or Revival items through Healing Knowhow. Instead, the penalty for the MC's death is losing the ability to change demons unless one in your current party has Bad Company, Sabbatma, Invitation, or has Healing Knowhow and thus access to Summon Stones. After death, players have the option of being revived with full HP near the spot where they died by paying a bribe of either Macca or 3DS Play Coins to Charon, the ferryman of the River Styx - players can even charge one Macca bribe at a time to their tab, with Charon coming to collect as soon as they've earned enough Macca in-game. Charon's prices are steep though, and if a player can't make a payment in either form they will be dead for real, thus ensuring that while you're no longer likely to lose hours of progress to a single unlucky turn, death is still more than a slap on the wrist. Special Fusions only require you to have recruited the necessary demons at some point, rather than requiring that they be in your party at the time of fusion. Any missing components can simply be paid for to summon from the Compendium instead. This helps to cut down on party clutter. If you somehow manage to acquire a demon that has already learned all of its skills, the Demon Whisper will still activate on its first level up. This ensures that you can always learn a demon's skills.

It's implied this is either because of the Yamato Perpetual Reactor's black hole-manipulation properties, dilating time in Tokyo, or Masakado slowing time with Guardian's Eye to allow those below the chance to live.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_d9cf40fa	comment	Demon conversations. Several players have noted that demons are actually more likely to flee the longer negotiations go on, meaning that you could be granting the demon everything it desires, only for it to decide to run away at the last minute, and because there's no way to tell if a demon's going to hightail it after your next offering or get angry at you if you choose to end talks early, getting demons to do you favors tends to be a matter of luck. The Expert Scout skill will reduce demon demands, but won't guarantee that they won't run off with your stuff.

Sometimes a demon will stop to negotiate with you if the battle isn't going their way, either giving you an item/Macca before leaving or offer to join you. This is the few ways to recruit most Undead race enemies into your team. There's an App that makes demons convince their friends to join you at the same time they do, netting you two demons for the cost of one - while it won't work by directly inviting the Undead, leaving only that demon and one other will make the other demon invite the Undead to join as well. However, this doesn't work on Corpses.

Roulette. The problem is the demon No Sells two of the three actions your ally can take (at least the third will actually hit Asura's weakness), and is highly likely to Smirk when he does, which means that if he uses his hit-all physical attack, he's all-but assured to critical you. Meaning this quest relies on how often your ally doesn't screw you over, and when they do, how often the enemy doesn't screw you over. Though if you go in with Tetrakarn, you can make it a case of Hoist by His Own Petard... which is then a case of Trial-and-Error Gameplay. It doesn't help that there's even a bit of Luck-Based Mission in here. If Asura gets to go first, he might just hit your ally twice in a row with his physical attack—which can potentially fell them right away.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_e92841f	comment	Talking the Monster to Death: This game has way more conversation skills than any other SMT game, provided you spend enough App points. Just regular recruiting can be upgraded to have the demons give you money and items when they join, convince their friends to join too (who also give you money and items), and boosting their stats and skills automatically. You can learn a talk skill for "fundraising" from the enemy, or bartering for items. You can pay them to heal you in the middle of battle (and then the battle resumes and you kill the demon who healed you, huh...), another skill lets you bribe the enemy into ending the fight, and the fight-ending skill can itself be upgraded to get you a free heal too! There's even a time-wasting "Chitchat" skill that uses up enemy press turns.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f	comment	Wake-Up Call Boss: The Minotaur serves to remind the player that not only do they have to mind their Press Turns, but also that enemies can and will make use of Smirking to wipe an unsuspecting party. He's also the first boss that showcases how buffs and debuffs can and will mean the difference between life and death. Finally, he even exhibits shades of Turns Red that prior bosses didn't have; when he gets relatively low on health, he switches to spamming Oni-Kagura, a relatively powerful physical attack with a high critical hit rate that's entirely capable of one-shotting most demons at this point on a crit. There's also David, who can be fought at around the same time as the Minotaur. He's part of the "Dance of the Dead" Challenge Quest, and you have to fight a Horde immediately beforehand; first-timers will be in for a Jump Scare when he appears afterwards. David likes spamming Blight, dealing notable damage to your party with a chance of poison. He also knows Mamudo, which can really change the tide of battle if it hits. And, yes, once again, a Fiend is a Wake Up Call Boss.
