Ah yes, now I can completely repel women.
Shin Megami Tensei IV for the Citra Canary 2670 is an amazing game. It just has it all! JPGs with stats, retarded AIs, blue people that scare you more than any horror game after you whiff your attack on them, funny man Walter the fisherman, suicidal tendencies and three consecutive megidolaons given to you by fucking Beelzebub as the cherry on top. What's not to love in this?
On a more serious note, the game is actually amazing.
The plot is seriously good, the way that it shows how human nature will lead us to a loop of repeating the same mistakes over and over again is excellent, and the characters split into their own beliefs in a natural and gradual way, it's beautiful to see.
The combat system is top tier turn-based RPG. The press turns are a simple but versatile mechanic that applies to you and your enemies. In SMT IV the battles can be weirdly easy (the final bosses disappointed me severely) but that's not a major turn-off, the game still punishes you if you do something like being a disappointment to your whole family and nation by turning on auto combat when you're fighting a Girimekhala, clearly that didn't happen to me. Flynn also gets way too strong if you just throw all your stats into magic. It's an easy but really satisfying game.
The sountrack goOD LORD THE SOUNDTRACK. IT'S SO GOOD. The themes for random encounters are way too good, the fiend theme is excellent (the game's way to compensate the cancer it gave you to find the vile creature) and B2 is a classic for a reason, it makes me think twice before hanging myself after leading with walter throwing a silly little Agi to Minotaur, a boss THAT NULLS FIRE. I LOVE THIS GAME'S AI GFJIFSAFFUCKTHTISTUFKCINGGAME
The designs are top notch. I love that SMT has a lot of not conventional designs to represent various mythological beings, beliefs and ideas (not chemtrail). While some are horrendous misses (looking at you Lucifer), most are absolute bangers (Beelzebub, Parvati, Shiva, Metatron, etc.)
The presentation, while being limited do to the console it's in, is also top notch. The 3D environments really sell you on the state that the world you live in is, specially the blue men that give me severe PTSD.
When you enter a battle, you get another presentation, now the enemies are little sprites with idle animations that are really charming, and while the death animations are bugged while emulating, they're still pleasing to look at. The UI is also really well thought out for the console the game was in, porting it to another system will prove difficult but that doesn't affect my judgement.
This is a SMT game, so SMT bullshit will happen, but you can have a good laugh (or a gunshot directly to your skull) when it happens. A very good and unique experience, highly recommend it.
Please ATLUS port this to PC

As an active viewer of this mister's playthrough, I can say that it's true that the game does punish you, specially when you don't save it :3

Dex Flynn does more big damage on more bosses, or any enemy really. Just throw most of your points in dex, luck, and agility, and see the magic happen.
