Shin Megami Tensei Series

Cracked Anti-All off Lilith by the way. This'll be fun.

Devil Survivor 1 update: Beldr is dead and Day 3 is cleared.

Keisuke struggled the most out of the party, and was always the one lagging behind in levels. Guy was 19 when everyone else was at least 22. I feel like I just gave him whatever left over magic skills I had to him for most of the day, but then he picked up and managed to hit the mid 20's like everyone else.

Most of my time today was spent on upgrading the demons everyone would use. Everyone's Saravastis and Kikimora's were replaced with Kikuri-himes and Yuki-Joris. The Jambavans, who have put in the finest of work guarding me for 2 days straight, were replaced with Pendragons. I even made a King Frost for Yuzu, because Tyranny is pretty good for magic users. The only other demon I made was Nalagiri, because it had Double Up and I wanted Beldr dead ASAP.

I always feel a bit bad fusing away demons that have been useful for me for a while.

See, I like to think of it as upgrading them so they keep putting in good work.

Devil Survivor 1 update: Day 4 cleared without much fuss. Everyone's Kiri-himes and Yuki-Jori's were fused into Peris. Peri is an awesome demon at that point in the game because she gt Mana Surge and Drain by level 30. I even made sure to use Wendigo everytime I fused a Peri so they could receive Anti-Ice and Ice Dance. Midori joined, and man she is much better than Keisure as a magic party member. I cracked several good skills for Atsuro, including Mighty Hit, Drain Hit, and Phys Rise. The MC's Magic stat is in the late 20's and it shows everytime he dances at the enemy. I save Haru from herself and ran into Kresnik and Kudlack's rivalry. I didn't kill Kudlack, so he won't be stronger tomorrow. Every ended the day at level 32 or so.

My favorite demon I've made in DS2 so far is an Arioch with Pierce, Deathbound, and Anti-Most. There isn't a single element, apart from Almighty, that he doesn't at least resist. I bought him back in my second run as my secret weapon against Lilith. He beat her.

I think Amazon has the preorder for SJR already discounted.

Devil Survivor 1 update: Day 5 was a long ass day. It was a very trying day, with some of the hardest missions yet, missions I admit to failing several times.

Upgraded to gold membership for the Demon Auction, Finally cracked Holy Dance and put it on the MC, upgraded the Peri squad to Brigids that all have Mana Surge and Anti-Ice thanks to all those Wendigos I fused to make the Peri squad. One Brigid carried anti-force instead, because that one was used to fuse an Odin. Odin has Awakening, meaning more magic damage, and unlike Thor he has MP to burn. Especially since Odin has Drain and Mana Surge. Odin and the Brigids all have Drain and Holy Dance thanks to either inheritances from a Peri or Magnetite, and all have at least 21 Magic.

For the Kresnic/Kudlac mission I fused a pair of Orthrus demons for Atsuro and Midori, and gave the MC King Frost. Using King Frost's Tyranny passive, I was able to delay Kudlack's turns and help whittle down Kudlac's massive health pool so Kresnic could kill him for good. The reason I fail this mission a few times was because I didn't have MC with King Frost the first time, resulting in Kudlac escaping. One of the the hardest missions in the game all right, at least partly because I didn't have Kaido's help on purpose. Kaido I wanted to have kill Keisuke, because I think that story is better than the one where Keisuke lives and does nothing for the rest of the plot.

The Naoya test mission I faiiled once because I made a mistake. Hell, I almost made another one by trying to go for a Stone aliment kill, but luck was on my side there. It also helped that I fused 3 Badb Catha for the MC, Atsuro, and Midori. Flight and 1 movement rocks.

Everyone has their preferences. Note however that Atsuro's route requires Keisuke to be alive.

I forgot that actually. I'll keep him alive for New Game Plus then.

...still waiting for Godot CHEMTRAIL.

God. It's grinding for Telethia The Endbringer all over again.

At least this time I know it's only taking forever because it was made that way, rather than me doing something wrong...I hope.

Looking for Chemtrail is, to me, the worst part of Fiend-hunting unless you do the DLC trick since its spawn point is quite a bit away from where you enter the area.

Yeah. I've been doing that trick. It's still pretty awful because I'm just going into the DLC, coming out and nothing happens. Then I go back in and come out and nothing happens.

It's killing me. Sometimes I go days without playing because it feels like such a waste of time, and I don't really stay on very long because of it either. My game has ground to a halt.

Days 6 and 7 of Devil Survivor 1 have been completed. I chose the Yuzu route as normal because it was the easiest and the shortest for a first playthrough. Bring lots of Mystic resistant demons for that route though, because the Final Boss has a field skill that saps SP every 5 turns, and you WANT that SP for important things like healing and revival. Laksmi and Astaroth are excellent picks because they reflect and null Mystic respectively. I forgot you unlock Remiel on the Yuzu route as well. I could have sworn Amane's route unlocked him.

It's actually Naoya's route that Remiel can also be gotten on. You must have confused Remiel with Loki, who is indeed on Amane's Route. I presume that you fought Loki already?

You might want to take a break, Rob. Do some other stuff. It took me four days to complete my Fiend collection, and I'm told I was unusually lucky.

Good idea. Should I just play some other games, or move on with the story and come back to it later?

My game said I unlocked Remiel after clearing Yuzu's route. I unlocked Loki after his boos fight. I'll have to speed through it and check to see if I can fuse it.

Heck yeah you should move on with the story. Save the tedious parts for the very end.

I checked the main wiki and apparently Remiel can be obtained on either Yuzu's route or Naoya's route. I've played Devil Survivor Overclocked and I remember getting Remiel on Naoya's route/Kadio's route (their routes are essentially the same).

Loki can be fought on Overlord 8th Days

I guess, but I kinda wanted it out of the way now so I didn't have to worry about coming back to it later, but I think you're right and I need to change gears.

Wednesday clear. Megrez was much easier this time.

Oh yeah, in Devil Survivor 1 Yomotsu Ikusa and Nebiros appear on New Game Plus on day 4 and day 5 respectively. Lucifer has the same thing on every route except Yuzu's without any strings in the original version, but it has to be unlocked in Overclocked.

Horizontal Individualism = Good, its only flaw is who is a victim of the other systems. Always the victims and a ideological undergod despite being a idea shared in some way for pretty much the vast majority in some way.

Vertical Individualism= Decent if it wasnt for the (((hierarchies))) . Also, it had a good chance of becoming collectivism anyway.

Horizontal Collectivism = Creepy and inhumane. Is egalitarian I guess. A probable fate for the majority in cases of crisis, despite being disliked for everyone IRL.

Vertical Collectivsm = PURE EVIL
