smt3-lucifer's call(nocturne maniacs) & atelier iris 2 azoth of destiny complete!
6.14.2006
ok to start off with i completed AI2 afew days ago and then continued my smt3. i completed the jap ver of smt 3 long ago but lucifer's call also the same as nocturne maniacs has alot more extras compared to the original game - eg:there is an EXTRA dungeon, Labyrinth ofAmala where u can get Dante from dmc in the 5th Kalpa.
Dante is a very useful ally, the only prob with him is he can't be fused with demons making skills untransferable to him. furthermore u get him when he's lv 80 and he has alot of nice moves and useful skills that deal cool damage to all enemies. today i was able to defeat lucifer after my first failed attempt... basically it is IMPOSSIBLE to beat him without PIERCE. because lucifer takes very little damage to every single attack unless u got pierce that ignores the defense. even with solely the main char being able to use pierce you will take a super long time to kill him because of his 65k HP. and in order to get the skill pierce for your demons you must fuse Lv 95 METATRON which means ur main char has to lv 95 and above. and without a guide i dun tink anybody can get the true demon ending. 1. Metatron is not easy to fuse, you need to fuse every seraph - gabriel, samauel, uriel etc.. and sacrifice a tyrant, the only tyrant i have is loki (btw i have 70% demons only). 2. labyrinth of amala is a HELLUVA mazeee... without a guide its so hard to get through, seriously... anybody who plays this game will agree with me. just by refering to the map, sometimes u can just fall into holes and go somewhere else that u duno... sometimes i tok to some spirits and get warped out of the whole place... its truly lame if u ask me... and rather torturous and frustrating sometimes... only 1 save pt at the start of the dungeon, go in and u have to make it all the way out without game overing.
sometimes battles can be very hard if you dun focus, unexpected things can happen.. for example void death + void expel is a must for the main char, if he tio and die its a game over, and enemies can sometimes be so overpowered by casting all kinds of status up skills, anybody who plays the game will know exactly what i mean.
yes... CHEAP is the word to describe some of the bosses in the game also. haha! let me just say the concept in all smt series games are about the same, from persona to smt to ddsat. so it is a pretty challenging game!

as for atelier iris 2 its better than 1 in many ways but still no change of graphics. but still not sobad. however, the game is also too short and too easy to beat. there's hardly any challeng in the game..
