Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey owns what it is...
When I first dabbled with Shin Megami Tensei a few years ago, one of the games that grabbed me the most was Strange Journey Redux. Recently I felt compelled to revisit this title via the DS original, and now that I've seen it through to the end I wanted to give my two cents.

Final Fantasy IX - *Almost* a Masterpiece
Overall i like Ocarina of Time dungeons the best, except for the Water Temple. After that, i think i prefer the dungeons from Twilight Princess with Arbiters Grounds easily being the best in the game. Skyward Sword would be next. Some dungeons are better than others but overall not as memorable as OoT or TP. And then in last place would Majoras Mask. I may be among the minority but i hate the game. Its awful and unplayable, just pure misery packed into a game. I hated so much i stopped playing after Snowhead. I am intrigued by Stone Tower temple because everyone says its great but not intrigued enough to play Majoras Mask ever again. I dont have an opinion of Wind Waker or Breath of the Wild since I've never played them.
For a long time my Majora's Mask playthroughs stopped just after Snowhead too, specifically Pirate Fortress (even with Stone Mask). What I've realized since finishing the game for the first time on the channel is that MM rewards game knowledge more than most. In going back to it recently I've found more enjoyment in executing efficient cycles, applying what I learned previously while continuing to learn more about what makes it tick.
Dans ton fichier OneDrive quelle est la différence entre le fichier "Controller" et le fichier "KB+M" stp
Bonjour, je ne parle pas français donc je fais ça via google traduction. La différence est que le fichier du contrôleur est destiné à être utilisé avec une manette Xbox tandis que le KB+M est destiné au clavier et à la souris.
@@CobraCodex Hello, okay great, thank you for your feedback.
@@CobraCodex Would you have the same tutorial but for the game Zelda TP, please?
Bonjour, top par contre vous auriez un petit tuto pour copier coller directement les commandes svp depuis son OneDrive parce que j'arrive bien à télécharger le fichier mais je n'arrive pas à le joindre de le logiciel pour avoir directement les bonnes touches.
If we get a HD remaster I hope they give us the option to turn on/off random encounters or at least some other cool quality of life improvements.
MASSIVE! Thank you so much for the work you put in. I didn't even realize Phazon was a thing, and I'm so grateful for their team and your efforts in showing us how to use our controllers on this game.
Amazing thank you!
You're welcome, enjoy!
16:22 BN4 is the only game with versions I can say are definitive with one another, Red Sun is superior over Blue Moon and its not hard to see why. Even the weakest Soul Combination for the first playthrough of Red Sun, Guts-Wind-Thunder is still miles better than the worst Blue Moon combo, Aqua-Wood-Junk. New Blue Moon players are going to absolutely struggle against Duo because they don't have any good Double Souls to use against him.
The B button isnt used?
As far as I can tell it's not
Getting v3 navi chips isnt the problem, its the GOD DAMN v2 navi chips where you have to balance between sucking and being good to have the right rank just fot the CHANCE of getting it.
This is a fair point regarding the V2s, though I think the low encounter rate with no sneakruns is the real obnoxious part. Thankfully this is refined in later entries ofc
Would you be able to do some similar for Spiderman shattered dimensions 😭 this video is great and I don’t see anything similar for that game.
It's unlikely that I'd do a video on it, but it looks like the controls should be fairly straightforward to map since the only motion involved appears to be shaking the wiimote or nunchuk.
@@CobraCodex wait that’s what tilt controls are🤦♂️. I feel so dumb, got everything working now.
How do I set the pointer for my keyboard? It was working a while ago.. I don't have a pc controller at the moment
There should be a button labelled "Enable Mouse Controlled Pointing" in the motion simulation tab. Another option is to manually map each pointer direction by right clicking on the input and selecting which key you want to use.
@@CobraCodex I fixed it. I didn't have the setting "Sideways Wii Remote " enabled, lol
@@CobraCodex I am now good with the emulator. I understand most of its stuff
Yeah man I agree with you games like ghost of tsushima or the witcher even. they do have great stories but the treversal is just so goddamn boring but games like spider man or batman or gta have that rush that enjoyment of the traversal that you sometimes just play them for the terversal only and not to get to the next checkpoint but I doubt anyone plays ghost of the witcher to ride the horse or even rdr 2.
Hey great vid! I have a question, does the settings work with wii sports resort ?
Technically it might since most of the motion functions are mapped, but this config was made specifically for the Galaxy games so I can't guarantee it.
@@CobraCodex ah ok, i´ll test it out as soon i got time for that. I´ll let you know if it worked.
This does seem more efficient than emulating 3D All Stars, will check it out with Mario Galaxy 2!
incredibly helpful video and an amazing config! Thank you for making this.
You’re welcome, enjoy!
Why are my comments getting deleted all I did was just support the idea so weird
Not sure why they would’ve been deleted, must be an error on youtube’s end cuz I haven’t seen anything on mine
Hi Cobra, I tried using this on Android Dolphin with NSMB, the dpad controls are reversed for some reason. I tried to fix it in settings but running into some issues. Weird.
On windows there are checkboxes for wiimote sideways or upright. Not sure if this is the case on android but my first guess is that’s the problem.
my left joystick wont move mario when i use my ps4 controller even tho everything else works perfectly fine, i just cant move pls help asap
My best guess at a solution would be remapping the left stick under the extension tab in the controller config menu, maybe there's something off about the syntax when translating to a dualshock 4
Nice! I’ve never played an SMT game (I am familiar with some of the Persona games but not traditional SMT) but really curious about them and it’s cool you’re getting into the series! I’ve just started P3R taking a short break from the FF games (I have finished all the pixel remasters now but 5)
Damn you knocked out those pixel remasters quick, glad to hear you're playing P3R as well! Not to add more to your backlog but I think SMT V: Vengeance is worth checking out if you're looking to see what mainline SMT is all about, though it leans more towards the sandbox side of things than being a dungeon crawler.
I love this franchise, i played a lot of then, and strange journey is, no doubt, tbe best. Digital devil saga from ps2 is the 2°
Best one to start with, other than V: Vengeance, is IV (provided you still want to play on a 3DS)
@@aiodensghost8645 i alweys recomend dtart with the 3 or persona 4
Thank god everyone online was telling me to set up multiple profiles using the dpad makes so much more sense
How do I smash the house in the beginning? I would play with dolphin emulator with xbox one s controller. I don't know how to get out of the house in the beginning :D
Should be able to hold X, RT, or LT to continuously shake. This would be how you do the infinite roll with Diddy as well
Yup. This guy figured it out. Now it's the ultimate way to play SMG
please quit cussing it is rude
So, today marks DDS 1's 20th anniversary, and not only did Atlus finally release both games' OSTs on music platforms, they also acknowledged the anniversary on their social media account, and announced that there will be merch coming out to celebrate it. I hope that all of this attention from Atlus means that we're getting some kind of re-release. I agree with what you said in the last portion of the video - even a simple port of the games will be enough, they're just so good that I really don't think they need a remake. The only things I would change about them is the random encounters, I'm fine with either lowering the random encounter rate or removing them completely.
That's great to hear Atlus acknowledged these games, very interested in what kinds of merch they'll be launching. Hopefully this is a sign we'll get a remaster soon, I've been waiting to do a replay until that happens lol
@@CobraCodex According to Famitsu, the merch will include two types of T-shirts, seven acrylic stands, and 25 tin badges. I'd also like to note that Atlus JP used the western boxarts of the games when announcing the anniversary merch, which is a very good sign in case they do get a re-release because the original Japanese boxart is probably one of the worst boxarts I've ever seen.
I hope we get some really releases on the switch because I remember getting the smt3 on it but I never finished it but I would be glad to actually play through Digital Devil Saga for the first time through these games or I've always wanted to get a PS3 because I always wanted to play the original Persona 3 game and the original Persona 4 game because of how I got introduced to the Persona series was through the more downgraded but quality of life versions on the Vita in the PSP
The fact Atlus actually acknowledges the game's 20th anniversary plus the release of the soundtrack and merchandise is a very good sign.
Cool vid g
Thanks to you I beat Mario galaxy 1 and Mario Galaxy 2 for the first time Have no words to describe how happy I am See this game when I was 8 years old and now for the first time I can play it Thank you so much king👑
Does this require XInput or can it work with DInput? I use a Mayflash GameCube controller adapter for Dolphin.
The config I provided uses xinput but it shouldn't be too hard to get it working with dinput. Would probably just require changing the syntax for certain button inputs in the config

This is my first time seeing how Press Turn works. Now I'm glad that Metaphor is using this battle system instead of One More. It definitely feels more intense.
Yea as much as I like One More I do think Press Turn is more dynamic (plus the flexibility of team composition). Metaphor seems like it's blending elements of Persona and SMT with some new stuff added on top which is pretty exciting.
Is there any way to map the cursor to the gyroscope?
I have no way to test this since I don't have a controller with gyro currently. From looking into it briefly it seems possible but your mileage may vary depending on the setup
This is actually the best controller set up I've seen for this game, playing it right now it works great so far.
I would put izanami is a tier as I think she ties into the story and p4 really well and I like how she takes her loss gracefully after you defeat her
Fair enough. I just find her implementation too obscure to leave the impact that I think was intended. Though I get that thematically it makes sense and is more satisfying than ending with Ameno Sagiri.
doesnt work on xbox. need to change bumpers start and select and put source in ini. can you help telling me how to change. I can email the file to someone to share once fixed?? would be worth pinning the fix as well as the ps one in these comments?
I don't personally have experience with emulation on xbox so it's hard to say for sure. If you can figure out what those buttons are labelled as on your version of Dolphin that could be valuable information. All that would need to be done is swapping any instances of those buttons in the config with the correct terms for said buttons.
This control scheme is just wow, thank you!
Huh? I just beat Reload a couple months ago and nothing happened to Makoto at the end.
yeah he just taking a quick nap
It had been over a decade since I played FES so I didn't remember anything about Mitsuru and after playing it she just felt boring like Makoto. She shows even less personality than Makoto and her social link came way too late and it just felt like Haru's.
32:56 You accidentally put Akechi here but you definitely haven't played P5 in a while. The team did immediately accept her into the team after she gained her Persona. I don't like her because she always got a stick up her ass. I cannot joke with her at all and I thought Ren is supposed to be the leader why is she making all the decisions? Also with all the shit they had to deal with as the Phantom Thieves and her sister quitting the force she still wants to be a cop! Bruh. I don't understand why everybody picks her as their girlfriend on their first playthrough.
Idk what you mean about Akechi, but as I stated in the video I think Makoto's favoritism has a lot to do with being more plot relevant than the rest of the team; and since Ren can't speak unless there are dialogue options that means someone else has to do the bulk of explaining plans and such.
Huh? Did the games even have language options before Persona 5? Because I played FES and I don't remember that. I don't even think most games period didn't have language options. You would have to import for that.
It wasn't a feature back then afaik but I played P4G on steam and FES on PCSX2 with an undub mod
Oh Geez thanks a bunch I want to play Metroid Prime 3 to get ready for MP4. Now that Ive tested your method on Mario Galaxy Rom I can better understand this Metroid Prime 3 controller setup video that only shows the buttons he's using and I have no idea where to put the INI file on MAC
Are you referring to this video or a different one? If you need help with setting up Prime 3 there's a tool called Primehack that works with the trilogy version for Wii
ADACHIIIIIIIIII
Izanami is an underrated villain who fits in nicely with the concepts of p4. I'd love to talk more about her, but it would be like writing an essay about her. 😅
Conceptually it makes sense, but the execution is really lacking imo. The gas station attendant should technically be around the entire game but has next to no screen time at all. The "twist" comes completely out of left field and is so easily missable that it feels like an afterthought. Something that should in theory be integral to the game's story/themes/etc. ends up feeling like a glorified easter egg.
I beat P4G who is the gas station attendant? I don't remember him.
It's a very easily missable component to the story that leads to the true final dungeon and final boss fight (I missed it completely on my first playthrough too). The day you leave Inaba you can go to the rooftop of Junes one last time. This eventually leads to the reveal that the gas station attendant that shook your hand at the beginning of the game was actually the goddess Izanami who gave you, Adachi, and Namatame your powers as a test or something.
5:38 what that was the best part! Watching the Phantom Thieves not know while you the player knows. The anticipation!
I'll admit it was cool seeing the PTs react to Okumura's death, but they way overdid it on the foreshadowing in P5
The villains in Persona games were never the strong point in my opinion but i did love how unhinged Adachi was. I know Metaphor is not megaten i hope the game is going to have interesting villains
True, thankfully these games have a lot more going for them. Very excited to see what they do with Metaphor, would be great to see a new top tier antagonist from Atlus
I honestly don't like Strega at all, like the Reload convos they added between Makoto and Takaya were cool for the most part, but he's such a Redditor it's hard to take him super seriously ESPECIALLY with how lame Makoto's dialogue responses are (makes sense for his non-confrontational nature, but he's confronting a murderer dawg). One of P5's biggest problems is the spoonfeeding like you mentioned along with the villains being so one-note. Royal has unused content where each will seed would give you flashbacks about how they got where they are, and I'm sooooo mad they didn't keep those in (though only the first two dungeon's had any unused content so they were probably scrapped pretty early on). Akira Konoe's backstory is pretty cool in the sense that they actually went there, but I agree the execution is whatever, and the fact that the characters lowkey still treat him like a murderer (yes they sympathize with him but they're still like "bruh you killed your own father...") is weird Ichinose W ALL MY HOMIES HATE SHO
Yea in the grand scheme Strega’s pretty whatever. At least they have memorable designs/story presence even if their characterization is half baked (which is more than can be said for most of these jobbers lol) I remember hearing about the will seed flashbacks being cut too, damn shame. Also the fact that Konoe’s backstory is way darker than I recalled while somehow being forgettable is wild
Also about Strega I think, how do I say this. Well, we were introduced to them in that scene where it was revealed they were a part of the revenge site but that revenge site was never brought up again. It was teased like it was going to be a plot point but nothing happened with it and then I don't understand why they waited so late to attempt to free Chihaya. They really believed at the time that the Dark Hour was going to disappear if the past full moon shadow was killed so you think they'd do everything to prevent that like getting an extra person. I also think the end with them didn't make much sense either. Takaya was suddenly behind this cult and he knew about Nyx and wanted the world to end too but he seemed so concerned about keeping the Dark Hour so he can keep his powers. I never got what their goal was.
its crazy how 1 s tier is the most hateable character and the other is so hard to hate
The duality of man
Yeah. One would create a dystopia because he lacks any faith in humanity, and the other is Adachi.
