SMT: Nocturne

[Swen]

Played it for the first time last year, found it very overrated. Doesn't touch Persona.

I loved the atmosphere though.

 

[Tweed]

The only spell Hito-Shura should be casting is FIST.

I'm playing and where I go after leaving amala link? I'm back to the place where I was and zero clue about where to go. No journal or anything.

This is a different style of game to modern ones with quest logs. One must explore for the sake of enjoying the pure exploration. Most of the time dialogue will tell you where to look. But there are times when it does remain unclear, and the best thing to do is test any avanue you haven't tried yet.

 

[Cryomancer]

I hate trial and error. Seriously, even with guides I can't foretell where I need to go. Even with guides, they say "hur dur you must go to ginza now" And no one says how. How I go to ginza?

EDIT : I was watching this walktrough and was in the wrong place and leaved Amala > https://youtu.be/9G_y5LXYOi0?t=7516

How I can go back to Amala?

EDIT 2 : After teleporting to hospital, Ginza appeared in places to teleport into. WTF!? Anyway, I'm finally able to progress the game.

These games might not be for you, in terms of style. They are descended from Wizardry. In Wizardry, the pleasure is derived in large part, from filling out a grid map, like this:

SMTIII is based around exploring every nook, for the pure pleasure of seeing it revealed. There is a time in life, where people will appreciate the purity of this. But there is a time in life where people will see it as a waste of their time, to not be curated, to expect direction.

Perhaps return to it when you feel like that kind of experience, if it isn't enjoyable right now.

 

[Cryomancer]

I like exploring a lot, but I was like 2 hours after completing the location I was walking left and right and nothing.

Only one more question. Any way to learn another ice spell, I'm lv 18 at moment and only have Ice Breath.

Not for awhile as I recall.

Same. It's just a blobber with only positives being soundtrack and atmosphere
7/10 at best.

Avoid looking so many things up, half the fun in a crawler is getting lost and figuring things out. Imagine when you get to the Labyrinth of Amala...

There is one thing in the Labyrinth of Amala for which I actually recommend using a walkthrough, though: the whole thing with the upgraded Pixie.

 

[Vorark]

That one was pretty cryptic, alright.

Still, I don't think it's worth spoiling too much on a first playthrough.

It's just a blobber

Yes, is just a blobber but you can use magic instead of being forced to use a ridiculous sword, can become the master of demons and the combat has some depth. I have heard that this game is too hard but honestly, only lost once. Against Thor. As a ice magic user, I was too weak vs electricity. In my second run, I just eat another magatama and he fell quickly and fast. So far, this game is not as hard as people say.

 

[Cryomancer]

Other question. I eat "Miasma" and leveled up a dozen of times but didn't got any new ice spell. I'm doing something wrong? Also, I got the Djinn summon and liked him a lot. There is a Marid type elemental too?

Magatamas that are ready to give you a power will be squirming in the menu.

 

[Cryomancer]

Thanks a lot. Other question, recently completed Amala and got Glacial blast and am loving this game.

Which Megaten games allow me to play as a magic user main character?

 

[Necrensha]

Pretty much all of them except Strange Journey where you're forced to play support.

I have heard that SMT1/2 don't allow you to play as a mage. Is this truth?

 

[Tweed]

Main character can't learn magic in SMT 1 or 2.

That's a job for the heroine, the hero's friends, and the demons.

 

[Necrensha]

I have heard that SMT1/2 don't allow you to play as a mage. Is this truth?

Aye. I just assumed that you already played those since you're on smt3 but nevermind.

 

[Average Manatee]

Bullets inflict status effects or have elemental damage and guns can have different attack types though

Don't cheat yourself out of SMT 1 and 2 just because the main character can't do magic, they're great games.

 

[Louis_Cypher]

Don't cheat yourself out of Strange Journey either because it's great.

 

[Sentinel]

Strange Journey is the best game in the series!
