oh yeah this game was good from what i remember of it. this is based on two playthroughs;
gameplay? gave serph a full strength build, clicked power charge phys skill, laughed at the encounters
went into the final boss, clicked power charge phys all, laughed
went into the superboss, clicked power charge ragnarok, laughed (i didn't actually it was really difficult)
story? yeah it's okay. to not go into too much detail it's simple and that's fine, but this gets fleshed out a lot better in the second game
weirdly enough the extra goodies are very out of the way, i don't typically backtrack too often so i missed out on a lot of things first time through, second time i had to look up a guide for the stuff just so i could say i did it... oops?

A pretty fun time... interesting and freaky environments, brilliant motifs... but it's bogged down by a quite frankly outrageous random encounter rate, and a tedious skill tree that requires way too much grinding for enjoyment. I also don't like that you can't preview all of the skills in the tree.
Aside from that, the press turn system rules as always, and despite the grindy aspect of the Mantra system, this game's skill customization system is probably my favorite out of all the Megaten games I've played. There's no limit to the skills you can learn, and you can mess around with the set-ups to your heart's content.
I'm definitely looking forward to playing the sequel, whenever I get around to getting it.

Nothing but praise, I love smt 3 nocturne and love this game. I have finished it 4 times the concepts/style are all phenomenal while it develops characters who are endearing and entertaining to be around. The aesthetic is close to being my favorite from this era as it comes from the same style and engine of smt 3 and you even get to fight the demifiend which started one of my fav trends so go play it
Fun, has a good ability learning system called mantras that let you swap out and use different skills whenever you want
Really good music as usual
I have to wait to judge the story because obviously this is a 2 part game, but so far it's pretty good and I have no complaints
Just a very cool game overall
Beat all superbosses (except Demi-Fiend, not doin that shit!)
Oh but fuck this game's encounter rate it's really bad

a more player-friendly nocturne if you want to think of it in that way in both gameplay and story a more accessible game even if hmmmm it has some quirks and odd characterizations and this first part does leave a lot to be desired in terms of a satisfactory plot but ofc this basically a part 1 of a game so we will see how that develops going forward.
gameplay wise you are stuck to 5 characters at most so it does make it have a lot less going on progression wise you really just upgrade these characters like a regular RPG no pokeman elements here and that's fine but not my favorite side of smt it does have its upsides though with enough grinding any of these characters can cast any attack/magic you want really ofc you still have to play to the strengths of their stats and type advantages though since you can only choose stat upgrades on level up for the main character which is again normal for the genre
overall a solid jrpg with potential will have to see how the sequels shapes it up though

Tried playing through it on an emulator, and for a while it was ok, but after a bit there was like a chance of it either freezing or crashing any time any character leveled up. It just became too tedious to make sure I was constantly saving my state before every fight just in case a party member leveled up afterwards. I didn't make it that far but there was definitely some potential here and I might one day try again.
Que obra de arte y genialidad
AME las dungeons, la forma de poner habilidades, los jefes, la curva fe dificultad, la historia, la estética, el ost, es un maldito 10 y lo amo
Lo poco que me disgusto es el combate de pistolas, las skills de los jefes secretos no se disfrutan como se debería y no mucho, uno de los mejores RPG que he jugado

no entiendo por qué Digital Devil Saga tiene una calificación tan alta en esta página... digo, no es una basura, pero tampoco es como que destaque en algo...
su historia no es nada del otro mundo y llega un punto donde deja de tener sentido y se siente como si le faltaran partes a la historia en medio, es sumamente corto, la dificultad es un chiste (cuando el rng no hace que el enemigo tenga 8 turnos seguidos o te oneshote apenas empieza el combate), no hay un sistema de fusiones lo cual no es malo per se, pero hace que la experiencia sea más lineal aunque tengas un árbol de habilidades ya que igual es demasiado lineal, no hay ningún tema de su ost que destaque, sus personajes son interesantes pero tienen casi nulo desarrollo real, etc...
aun con todo eso, es un juego que recomendaría jugar para todos esos que solo han tocado Persona 4, 5 o Reload y que quieren jugar un SMT debido a siento que se sentirán cómodos empezando por este juego a comparación de otros como Nocturne los cuales puede que les resulte estresante y frustrante por el tema de la dificultad.
por cierto, tiene un parche undub, háganse un favor y úsenlo porque la versión occidental solo tiene el asqueroso doblaje en inglés.
