Only 15 minutes into the starting area and I already owe 400 Macca to Charon. Demons, why you gotta smack me for 50% of my HP bar. :fail3:

Oh yeah, it's on sale in the Nintnedo 3DS eShop for $29.99 instead of $49.99 until 2/4.

For the first few hours you can't relax, attack first or you will be destroyed.

For me I'm at lvl 91 with 260 Magic so I just nuke everything with Megidolaon.

It's like that with practically all Shin Megami Tensei games. The ones I've played anyway.

SMT IV is my most hated SMT game next to the DemiKid series.

Also save frequently so you can reload if you die.
Magic is the only good stat in the game.

I doubt very much you've finished it even after all these months.

I don't need to finish the game to form an opinion on it.

- Story is uninteresting early on

- Battles stop being fun/hard mid game

- Boss battles stop being challenging early on and just rely on spamming weaknesses and healing.

- Magic is the only offensive stat that matters
