I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Gonna miss playing this since I'll be on a trip during the next few days.
Yesterday I beat Artemis and man, those DLC demons seem a bit OP, to the point were I consider just not using them.
One thing related to that is that Doi's demons seem to be a bit more OP than those of Kaneko. They all have unique skills and some of them are very good, like Angel's early media or Cironnup's party buff.

Damn, must be Atlus doing their thing.

For those of you later in the game, are there any miracles/items that make it easier for find Miman? If there are exactly 200 on the map I'm gonna have to find them all and I want to guess at how painful that's going to be.

Yeah, there's a Cironnup (little fox with a bow) near the end of each area. You can pay him Macca so he marks the remaining Miman on the map.

The soundtrack for this, while different from SMT IV, is fucking incredibly good. I make music myself and as a musician, SMT soundtracks of all flavors have been an inspiration, but this one hits particularly well right now as I work on new music.

I think it looks way better than Xenoblade 2, mostly on account of competent art direction. Xenoblade had cool open worlds, but it also kind of looked like plastic action figures from 9 different toy lines mashed together. SMT manages to pull off a visually arresting style that looks coherent and consistent, which is something Xenoblade never really managed.

Danjin needs that SMTV case to open.
You just can't do that with digital.

SMT5 is not kidding around, even weakest demon can fuck you up if you give them the chance.

Yup, I didn't expect the tutorial demon to fuck me up but it also reminded me what I was getting into. Good shit.

Man so I'm loving this game, visuals looks really good especially when it comes character and Demon models. The way most people describe the performance, it got me little worried but so far its solid, it not perfect but it not as bad as some people made it out to be.....it runs much better than NMH3's open world section.

Welcome to Switch bitching. Folks like to make it out that anything on Switch runs like pure unplayable ass.

Some people in GAF just loooove to be hyperbolic about everything.
It’s not just GAF. It’s the general consensus on the internet. Same tired console warring argument as “Xbox has no Games” and “Sony is for the Woke”. Mindless, baseless trash.

Dont forget about "its looks PS2 or 3DS game" argument.

Magic or physical build? What the consensus for an OP build in SMT V as of now?

I'm still very early in the game but I'm going magic build for my character.

It does feel kind of chuggy running around. Thats just being honest. Immediately coming off Nocturne, menus and such dont feel as snappy like theres slightest of lag between menu actions. Also instead of going straight to menu it has to do that transition. Trying to be flashy is something I never like. Small gripes but yea. Main attack doesn't have any oof it feels like feather hits. Still loving it though. Excited to rank this one with all the rest.
One more thing I really really miss cathedral music for fusions.

No where near as bad as people made it out to be, It’s perfectly playable.
you want to see “unplayable” performance, then go play Drakengard 3.

Are people saying unplayable? I actually didn't even know that. I dont think that at all

The further I get there’s definitely legitimate criticisms, but the idea that it is “unplayable” is downright hilarious. Performance is perfectly fine as far as I’m concerned, I just personally think it suffers a little bit visually compared to some of the Switches Other JRPG offerings like xenoblade and dragon quest, most notably the environments. Definately makes up for it in style though.

Why do werewolves hit so hard? Because it’s SMT, that’s why. Back to the grinder.

It's been a very good ride so far, 12 hrs in. I really like some daemons and would like to keep them forever but gotta let them go and move forward towards bigger and better ones. Thank god this one doesn't have mazes like Nocturne did, I hated that. Nocturne's MC had a bit more personality though and the story was - at least so far - slightly more involving. But then again, I'm not playing this first and foremost for the story. There are other rpgs for that.

I'm focusing on phys and it's not great up to the point I'm at. I don't think I've seen one enemy with a weakness to it and the crit rate outside of some skills is low, magic has consistently been a bigger damage dealer so far.
I'm sticking with it though!

Having a blast right now with this game, even though I'm still at the first boss. My ass was handed to me multiple times, if you don't buff/debuff you're stupid, it's SMT through and through. The soundtrack is grungy and dark, the art direction is nice, some visual effects are pretty (like the sparkling sand and the motion blur). I've yet to see plot move an inch but SMT is not as generally plot-heavy as other titles. I did prefer Nocturne's introduction though, but it's certainly a lot better than IV Apocalypse. I mean, what a joke...
Switch is biting off more that it can chew though, it certainly shows with the egregious foliage pop-in and the somewhat blurry picture (even though part of that may be related to lazy optimization, Atlus is kinda known for that sadly). Unreal Engine IV and Switch do not match well, that's for sure. BUT it's FAR, FAAAR from unplayable. Exagerated hot takes make valid criticism sound less credible and that's a huge shame. I still kinda expect a double-dip Bravely Default II style if the PC version rumor happens to be true. I really want to experience this game without technical bottlenecks, it really deserves it.
Overall, the wait was certainly worth it and it's been a while a RPG engrossed me this much into its world. You did it again, At' !

EB Games? Where do you live, 2002?
I go this morning to get my copy but my local EBGames still haven't got their shipping yet.

Easiest way to rationalize stealing the game. Happens every time. Switch has no games, until they have a game they want. Then they steal that.

I am at the late stage of the game and can say that physical is starting to be very very powerful. My main character only uses his special light damage attack now because it almost always crits at least once and does a stupid amount of damage when you buff/debuff. I have him evenly split with magic and strength, though. About 63 Strength and 60 Magic.

Interesting. So physical is gonna make the game a bit hard at the beginning but will eventually be OP by the end of the game, hmmm.

End game you will likely be OP regardless of what you pick.
