      5:00 to 5:10 is the funniest transition between different set pieces I have ever seen in my life. Just seeing Johnathan claim he's pinking out while the High Priest Animorphs out of his cone form is so smooth and so fast it's inexplicably hilarious. Thank you, this video is a blessing to me.

      I find it odd how people can consider the point that Johnathan and Walter got killed off as anything else tbh. Yeah there's a tiny bit of leeway to say otherwise when concerning IV alone (even though it obviously does say they've essentially died), but IVA essentially solidifies that yes, they're dead.

      Also, on first playthrough, I thought the setting was going to be just "post-apocalypse fantasy" with all of the forgotten technology and modern references (don't forget Isabeau reading a manga which is totally "Rose of Versailles"). Something like the animated movie "Wizards". I totally wasn't expecting modern Tokyo still working fine 'underground', well, as fine as they can when the world had a nuclear war back in the '80s but they got magically trapped under a stone dome along with all the demons summoned with technology.
      I also now prefer "mystic script" over "moon runes" for Japanese text now.

    The music will always make SMT better. IV and now V have great sound direction that makes the combat which can be quite slow feel way faster. For IV this is especially true. The combat feels way faster and more action packed than it might be.
    Edit: Smirking was definitely improved in Apocalypse, but I still don't hate it even in IV. Playing around the smirk is like a more evolved version of playing around the critical hit.

    So story: I first played SMT IV around the spring of 2020 and the only reason I did so was because I had grown discontent with the newest Pokemon games at the time, For the rest of the year I was investing every bit of free time I had into the game and then some just because of how hard the game had me by the balls. I had previously played and enjoyed Nocturne but not to the degree I did IV, and especially to the point that it turned my discontent with Pokemon into borderline malignment. Ever since then this stupid 3ds Atlus rpg has become my gold standard for turn combat RPGs and I have a feeling it will be a long time before that changes.

      SMT4A is really interesting. I don't know if I'd necessarily call it good or even say I enjoyed it (there's also one really boneheaded thing in the late game that kind of puts me off it), but as an experiment in "SMT but it's a shonen", I think it's a worthwhile experience.

    i think the reason why the demon death animations bug out on emulators is because of the 3D feature on the 3ds. Everybody stopped giving a shit about 3D view on the 3ds, but it seems like smt iv utilized it quite a lot, since the game's cutscenes and battles feature 2D images that are supposed to pop out more with the 3D turned on.

    Man, it's unfortunate that SMT Apocalypse makes a great effort to balance smirk and instant death attacks.

    I swear to god. I may be up at 4.20 am, having a smoke, watching a random SMT video I got shoved on my recommended feed: But you are a fucking genius and this is one of the best videos I've watched all year. I don't know what's better: that you've summed up SMT4 to a T or the fucking editing. Peak Video ma man.

      How did I only find this video a month ago, keep watching it over and over marveling at its genius. Gotta say, that last point about if we hear the main theme blasting sometime during a reveal I'll be right there with you. First time I'll say a straight port is all I need, as someone from the UK with a digital-only release I feel for anyone here who hasn't bought it now the eshop is gone. Even I'm worried my 3ds will fuck up one day and delete this game from my life.

  • @del4028
    @del4028 2 роки тому +3

    IV is more SMT than Nocturne and V (which has sense since Nocturne was thought as something different and "unique" for the series) and that's why I like it more. I mean, the post apocalyptic world is more alive, having different people here and there struggling for different reasons, with different associations with different ideals, I know that's still present in III and kinda in V. But having (more) humans in place of just demons makes it more credible and immersive. I like the idea of the conflict between humankind and demons/gods in the same scenario too. It's one of the things that makes me appreciate this series, along with those cyberpunk aesthetics and concepts Nocturne and V lack. I'd really appreciate if they come back to that I, II and IV offer in a hypothetical SMT VI.
    I still love III and V to death tho. SMT is still SMT. Gameplay, music, challenge, ideologies presentation are still top tier. My only issue with them is that dessertic approach to "the end of the world" and the kind of plot that comes with it. I don't dislike it I just prefer original SMT kind of world.

      Its a very rare thing to get, you can mostly get it if you have 2 of your party smirked from getting a crit or dealing weakness to the enemy and not have any press turn for the Smirked member to do their turn and then got the other two in smirk either by drain/repel/nulling the enemy's attack.
      Its somewhat a hard thing to pull off because that means you need to spend the last two of extra press turn to get two of the member to smirk. And then there's also the opponent need to smack you and got nullified/drained/repelled WITHOUT ending their turn so the other teams can smack your other, non-Smirked member to get drained/repelled/nulled.

    This edit killed me. If I ever try my hand at video editing, I know who to draw inspiration from x)
    This was my gateway into SMT like a lot of people. Don't have much drive to revisit it nowadays, though, Apocalypse is pretty much this game and then some, provides some kind of Smirk fix, the game doesn't stop being tough two bosses in, you actually reach the level cap making every demon accessible to you unlike other SMT games I've played, etc.
    That said, I really don't like how the endings in these games are barely any more satisfying than saving Peach in your average Mario game, which kind of stings after 80 hours of a harder than average RPG. Sometimes I wish they'd drop the alignement system and focus on having only one ending/path that's fully realised (not like there isn't often a route with more meat/attention anyway)

      The inclusion of those few exceptionally-out-there-looking demons, like the stop motion basket guy, really does sell the mishmash of styles imo.
      I understand that some people might prefer a more cohesive demon "design language" like nocturne had, but I assume for SMT4 to feasibly feature as big of a roster as it did, dipping into older art was going to be necessary.
