Chaos looks at an older title he played that recently changed publisher. Now that Atlus has the MMO based on its most popular series back in its hands, have changes been made for the better, the worse …or at all?

You seem to have skipped out on the story entirely. Which is a shame because the story is the best way to level in the early levels. Also it was the first story I found myself caring about in an F2P game.
The community is very good though, very helpful and good about not alienating players, atleast when it was at aeriagames. Shame you didn’t reach the later dungeons, they have some good art design. Like Shibuya Quartz, which is my favorite dungeon in the game for the art design of it.
Have to admit that the confusing parts of the game and awkward movement made me give it up too. I wanted to play, but it just gave me too many headaches.
Does the game have any real events or is it just dungeon crawls?
真・女神転生
It pronounced
Shin + Me-Ga-Mi(May Gar Mee short voice) + Ten-Say
I’m glad that its as hard as i remember and I’m not just bad at the game. Though I played it before teh ownership went to Atlus I played it fresh off of Lucifer’s Call (SMT: Nocturne in the UK) and Dightal Devil Saga so I just spent ages trying to find my favourite monsters…
Have any new monsters been added since the hand over? i would have loved to have gotten Seth’s and Heat’s monster forms from DDS in Imagine
Good review, but just FYI: it’s pronounced “ten-SAY,” not “ten-SAI.”
One thing you missed which is a REALLY SERIOUS ISSUE (well..to newbies/people not paying attention) is that the Expertise System is VERY DRACONIAN. You either know what the hell you want to be (“healer”, “gunner”, “mage”, etc…) or you’re going to be rather…weak.
Your Expertise Points has a max cap and at it’s highest point you will only be able to learn so many Exp. Skills. Another thing that kinda dertermines your “role/class” is the Combination Expertise like Bless, Gun Magic, etc.
These Expertise require other expertise to level them up and often these Combo Expertise have awesome benefits such as passive party stat boosts, burst heals and other useful skills. Though to get the most out of those you NEED to focus on the Exp. Skills related to them and those skills will always focus towards a specific MMO Class type (Mage, Healer, etc..). So if you multiclass, it’s fine (your choice) but you wont be incredibly as effective as those focused on building related towards thier related Combo Expertise.
Long Story Short– STRICT AS HELL LEVELING SYSTEM.
There’s also some “Water of Lethe” that can reset expertise by rank/level but only until level 30. After you hit 30 you have to buy the cash shop “Water of Lethe” if you want to reset expertise.
Personally, once i figured it out and knew what expertise i wanted for what i wanted to be (healing/support gunner) it was fine.
Very deep looking MMO, but my god it looks like characters move suuuuuper slowly. It looked like you were running in place in a lot of scenes.
I would like to point out that you missed something in your review. The glittering Ore can actually be traded to the demon salesman standing at the entrance to the dungeon. Its highly recommended to do these trades at early levels because for each glittering ore he gives you a Revival item. Like you said it is easy to die and this will help cut costs for reviving your demon.
I always miss things. That’s how I roll.
But that’s pretty awesome information. The game wasn’t clear, and even the surrounding people in the room were telling others who didn’t know why they couldn’t enter the dungeon to just “throw away the ores”. I also noticed the Kodama demons would usually drop revival orbs as well.
Yeah, like you said the game does not hold your hand. You practically have to find out about the hidden skills like Demolition Dash and Magic bullet on your own. Its a good thing people have made a wiki on the game now. Maes it easier for new players.
Because there’s not things like tutorials that give you a free weapon like in the case of guns…
All you need to really know is to pick melee, gun, or magic and only gain expertise in those basically.
The battle system isn’t very confusing either once you realize it’s just about interrupting monsters when it comes down to it.
But I guess if you only play it a couple days you probably will not get very far since it’s not some wow clone…
