ONE MORE LIST ACCEPTED!

[Golden Devil Gamer]

Obligatory trophy list discussion thread. It'll be a pretty time-consuming list as you'll need to get all endings and there's six of them. There's one ending that can be determined with something you do near the end of the game, but the other endings are determined through choices you make throughout the game iirc. Therefore, at least 5 playthroughs will be required. 100% compendium required and all magatama need to be maxed out for another trophy. 

 

And then there's the silver trophy for finishing on hard (should be a gold trophy). For people who've been playing Hardtype, this will seem trivial. But for people who haven't played SMT3, it'll take some time getting used too. Though people have broken the game inside out and you can find some great guides out there.

The six endings aren't nearly as intimidating as you make them sound -- assuming the game is near-identical to the PS2 version, you can keep a couple of save files at key points and blow through the remainder of the game rather than replaying the game several times over.  From my experiences, I'd probably suggest playing through entirely once, and then knocking out the other five endings on NG+ when you can carry some pretty keen advantages with you to make things go quickly (such as a Compendium with some high-end creatures to summon).

 

100% compendium and 100% magatama is grindy, but not excessively so like some other titles.  Playing on hard difficulty is more intimidating than it sounds unless you combine it with some of the challenges out there that people came up with to keep themselves entertained.  (I've done one of the latter; you can find some documentation of the experience if you know where to look.)

I remember playing the PS2 version when I was a kid, and I still have the original strategy guide as well, so I can't wait to sink over 100 hours yet again for the HD version.

True, I guess full playthroughs aren't required. But still, huge chunks of the game will still need to be replayed, so it should be a 100-150 hour plat. That being said, I wonder how the endings are tracked. If they all need to be done on the same save file, it would be rough.

I assumed all endings and 100% compendium and Magatama were going to be required for the platinum. I skipped out on true demon ending on hard because this was one of my first SMT games. Now I can't wait to tackle it. Any clue if they're adding more demons? Coming from recently playing IV: A and Nocturne has way less demons so it'll make it feel slightly barebones.

Looks like you have some standard affair trophies for completing the compendium, beating on HARD and dying for the first time.

Here's the full list translated: here

Here's an honest question. I've never been able to get into the Persona series because of all the real world social sim stuff. I enjoyed the regular gameplay though and always felt like I was missing out.

 

So should I try SMT? Or should I just cut my losses with that whole universe of games?

Yeah, there's no social stuff here.

Is it worth my time though? I know it's not quite as beloved as Persona.

 

Either way, I think I'm gonna roll the dice on it lol.

Kinda hard to recommend it or not since there's no game quite like it.

Don't think there's an RPG out there that makes you feel lonely the way this one does.

 

It's not story heavy and it can be a hard game even if you know what you're doing.

If that sounds fun to you, bite.

 

There is a PS3 version for it on PSN, as a PS2 Classic. If you wanna try it for a bit cheaper, maybe?

I have read the Trophy list on english. What's the puzzle boy challenge? I have played Nocturne back in the days on ps2 but i don't Remember anything of that challenge.

It's this puzzle mini game where you control Pyro Jack in a top-down perspective and push blocks around. It takes ages to beat all the levels and it's quite difficult without a guide. You get a magatama for beating all the levels.

Anyway, the trophy list looks fun. Pretty much covers nearly everything the game has to offer except the Burial Chambers which were a boss-rush mode. I heard you can change the difficulty now that they added an easy mode in, I wonder if you can change the difficulty at the final boss and collect the hard mode trophy? I hope not to be honest because the game is really fun on hard mode and that would trivialise people playing on it.

Most developers will not allow you to cheese those difficulty related trophies if you try to do that tactic since it'll void such trophies, so hopefully this game will follow suit as well.

[ShonenCat]

Popping all the trophies will sure be doozy, and I’m definitely looking forward to it. Seems like a perfect pick for my platinum #100 milestone ?

[SuperPatchZ7]

Probably i won't get the platinum, too much time needed.

 

The good thing about the list is that I can go for the demon ending if I play on hard because there's no way I do the TDE on hard.

 

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the game and the trophy guide.

Keep in mind that the only thing the two have in common is the demon compendium and fusion. Nocturne has press turn instead of one more, demons as partners instead of friends, a whole different style of soundtrack, no Psy or Nuke elements, a world map, post-apoptotic setting, etc.

Probably not.  The "get all endings" trophies likely checks the trophies for individual endings and pops when you have all of them.  That's the way it usually works for pretty much every other title.

I would say yes. The game reminds me more of earlier Persona entries. It can be annoying; enemies often spam insta-deth. But I still enjoyed this game quite a bit on the PS2, and I hope this heralds some more remasters from that era (a lot of people probably want to see Digital Devil Saga, though I would honestly, prefer Devil Summoner Raidou).

[FoolForCool]

This will be a long one, mainly for the ending trophies and the hard mode trophy for those who aren't great. Excited to get to it when it releases in the west.

[MtalCat]

To get all endings on ps2 i followed a guide. I you make certain choices you could make savefile to play few events before the end of the game and still see many endings without playing all over again. Still the satan ending requieres was very hard to get.

I have the HK version and only Normal or Hard are available.

There is a free DLC that adds the merciful (easy) difficulty.

[jlojlo1]

Is it just me or the "Maxed out all stats for the Demi-fiend" trophy sounds like a grindfest? I don't even remember how you can improve stats that much (do you still level-up after hitting 99 or it's in another SMT?)
