GRRRRRRRR. I've hade this game for 2 weeks now and have just gotten to the last boss fight against babel. i wanted to see what others thought on how to level up for the fight. but now im dissapointed in myself because i realize that im stuck with Yuzu, MC, Atsuro, and Amane. i accidently let Kaido kill Keisuke too. and i've also learned that you can get Naoya to join you too! now i feel like i should just restart to get better. if anyone knows how to get Naoya's path pleaze let me know ^.^

I have play it and i must say it is the best game where i have ever play. Not only for DS, for all consoles. It's still amazing. I hope it come to Germany, then i can buy it in german…

picked this up on Saturday. This game is so amazing, but I can't stand all the battle art. The 3d characters are sort of forgivable, but the demons look like such shit. If they looked 1/3d as good as the character 2d art it would be awesome.

still a great game tho.

I don't find the game so hard, maybe because im really fan of the megaten series since Nocturne, but i like the way how the game interact with the player as the main character.

also something i would wish to add… it's kinda pointless to say “you need the right demon” skill can be easily carred over between a demon and the other and soon enough you will find yourself with a party where everybody knows at least 1 elemental spell of every kind… even if your guys lack something the game has a magnetite system that let you teach ANY skill you learned to your demons

personaly i think it's a great shin megami tensei game (the battle system has no easy exploit unlike say… persona one more system,it works great and the idea of giving different skill to different kind of demon is pretty cool altough quite a lot of skill end up being useless or harmfull!) but a terrible boring game otherwise… battles are somewhat slow,character are uninteressing,music is generic repetitive rock riff and the game seems to have a knick-knack at throwing “protect the dumb civilian” mission at you… and really the entire “choice” part is kinda throw under the rag… the game never bothers with it until the end at which point he just goes “ehy which one of these character do you like more?”

Unless a European company has decided to release it, you'll have to wait, as Atlus doesn't have a European branch.

This game is fun and the key to winning any battle is the right fusion monster. I don't like the story and didn't care much for the characters. (Maybe I'm stuck with some of the annoying ones.. Midori, I am look at you)

Sure. If you keep in mind what Spencer wrote (about exploiting the elemental weaknesses of the enemies) you'll have a decent chance. It's also a good idea to spend some time with fusing demons and inheriting their most useful skills to stronger specimen, experimenting with what suits your play style most.

As the post says, levelling up in free battles only gets you so far (which is also a plus, because that way the game never expects you to grind), but they are excellent for testing new demon and skill combinations.

Personally I think there is nothing wrong with the difficulty. It's just of a kind most players seem to be unused to. The brute force method won't cut it, but clever play will. That's how a strategy game ideally works, IMHO,

Ugha… still need to play this…

On another note, I've heard that this game is really hard, strategy-wise. You think a player that isn't the best at SRPGs could find his/her way through?

This is my favorite SRPG since Jeanne D'arc, and I'm usually not a big fan of the genre. I was however disappointed at the lack of any item/equipment management. I know hardened veterans consider this one 'easy' but it's about right for me. I grind because I enjoy the battle system and cracking new skills. Well done, Atlus, hope this gets a sequel.

My only qualm with this game is the sheer lack of difficulty. But the enjoyable story and personal choices more than make up for it. It's interesting how, try as you might, you won't be able to get a certain character or a certain path because of a few different answer selections. I like that, though I did end up with the characters I didn't want on my team -_-

Looking forward Devil Survivor.

BTW: In the last Pic, Yuzu and the MC reminds me to Yukari Takeba and the MC but more cartoonish
