Chat Thread 13: The Thirteen Ghostys of Scooby Doo

you could`ve just went back to using it and use the skip function whenever you already read a scene.

although i will admit, you will not get all of the scenes if you do it that way.



are you planing on letting Lilith learn any of her own skills?

Exactly. And I wanted to have them all.

Well, I definitely want Mana Surge. I'll probably either dump Mediarahan or Prayer since I don't necessarily need both. Megidolaon is good too, so I might get rid of Rakunda or Tarunda. One of them. Hell Fang seems like a nice move too... so we'll see.

i actually found rezz skills to be kinda useless in this game...mainly cuz you still need to summon the demon, meaning you could just summon a different one.


i just saw Archer save the kitten...and then continue to lecture the track girls on what being a hero of justice truly means.

Depends on the situation, particularly if you have anyone capable in the reserves to use. Having someone with Samarecarm in the main party is useful since you only have to spend one turn summoning them back. But when you have to summon someone with Samarecarm, then have them use it, then bring back the fallen person, it's a whole mess.

but even if you have someone with rezz in the party its still more turns to rezz and summon than to just summon someone else.

and i just used revival beads if i really felt the need to rezz in battle, had them by the million(mainly cuz i wanted the dead demon to gain the xp for some reason) the place i used samarecarm the most was Amala 5 against Metatron`s door...

i guess thats the difference in our playstyles, i generally only had 1 or 2 trash demons with me and everyone else was highly capable,while you just used the same 3 demons with maybe 1 to 3 decent reserves.

Lol, you didn't know it was him, huh?

Yes, that is a big difference.

Well, one more level and I can upgrade my Uriel to Raphael. Then, it's time to face Metatron.

I wonder if I should grab Dante first or not...

id say that if you didnt level Dante up, then dont bother,Metatron is strong against Phys and a Dante without Stinger isnt that great in that case... but then again provoke is one of his base skills and it could help...

Well for that matter, I can just use Lilith's Rakunda and not boost Metatron's attack in the process.

but its funny when he wastes turns on Takukaja Takukaja Megidolaon when his attack is already maxed.


well, good luck with the guy, im gonna go to bed, bye.

True lol.

Wait! Holy Wrath or Radiance?

Whoops, I'm going to have to retroactively make this into a new chat.

id pick Holy wrath(although Soul Divide is better) over Radiance, but if i had a choice i`d use neither, Expel/Death skills are no good in my opinion.


looks like it, whatcha gonna name it?

Pooh. I swapped it for Radiance. Well, doesn't matter. I'm dumping Uriel once I get to the next level.

Well, I promised Ghosty I'd do one for him.

Actually, it'll probably be easier to just do another thread. I'm surprised how much faster this one filled up than the last one.

Ummm.....

HELL YES. I trashed Metatron. Demi Fiend passed on his turn, then Raphael, Lilith, and Flauros were Bright Might-ing Metatron so I had four extra turns. Then I did Focus, Tarukaja, Rakunda, and Tarukaja. Once I maxed out my Tarukajas, I had Raphael do Debilitate and Flauros do Focus on his second turn. By the end, Flauros and Demi were dishing out like 1500 damage per round, and the other two close to 800.

I think Metatron only used Dekunda once, and that was the first time Lilith used Rakunda. My initial strategy was to -kaja and -nda so that if he negated one, I always had the other bonus while I tried to build up. But he pretty much never did.

VICTORY! And now, I make my save for TDA and continue to the Tower of Kagetsuchi at last.

congratulations, and yeah, bosses dont use dekunda that often in this one,but in Digital Devil Saga its like every boss has both dekunda and dekaja ready to use if you buff/debuff to high

Well, he did the first time I challenged him, where he actually needed it less lol.

You know, only an SMT game could make me feel guilty for ditching Lucifer and going the way of Creation.

i guess i agree about the Luci part...


did you go to Amala 4 to unlock Sakahagi and Futomimi?

Yep, did that a while ago.

I think if I'd just skipped Amala it wouldn't have mattered, but getting to the very bottom and then turning back...

i think the game got rebalanced when they added amala,if not it`d be way harder or need more grinding...

Yeah, Amala was definitely a good idea. It also provided some of the best music in the game by far.

Not providing Dante with Pierce... Not so good. I would rather have Raidou even without the addition of Pierce, though Dante does fit the game more.

you havent even experienced pierce yet and your complaining about dante not having it...

I know Pierce, and I've seen it in action.

Also, I REALLY want to find the pre-battle version of Metatron's theme. It's beautiful. The battle version is amazing too. Id place him in the top five most epic video game battles.

but its not like you need pierce against the bosses your facing... except maybe Noah,cuz of his resist almighty...

Well, if I ever do face Lucifer...

I think it will be easier to do the Pierce maneuvering on a New Game+ though with compendium costs down.

my MC is the only one who attacked Lucifer, the rest were to busy buffing and debuffing and healing,though maybe they snook in an attack or two


i`ve unlocked the hanafuda game...
