Now that I’m done with Astral Chain, I plan to return my focus back to #FinalFantasyVIIRebirth.
I’m tempted to use my morning game time to play something that I’m closer to the end in, like #TalesOfBerseria, since I’ve enjoyed the rapid shortening of my backlog lately, but I think I’ll try doing that while I work, after I beat #SMT3 again. That shouldn’t take long, as soon as I decide what demons to fuse before reentering the final dungeon, which I’m currently struggling with.
Getting very close to the end of #AstralChain! I think I’m on the final boss battle. It seems pretty tricky and I ran out of restorative items again…
I’ve also been making steady progress on getting the True Demon Ending in #SMT3. Been trying to open all the doors in the Fifth Kalpa. Got Uber Pixie and Black Frost and just beat Metatron!
Made it to the Fifth Kalpa in #SMT3! Glad I used a guide for this instead of trying to figure it out myself as the stuff you need to do after beating the boss of the Fourth Kalpa is very convoluted.
I'm happy I didn't move on from this game without finishing the Labyrinth of Amala. Also happy I got to see what it was like to beat the game before the enhanced rerelease came out that added the content I'm going through right now.
I tried to play Episode Aigis while I worked yesterday but I kept wanting to pass turns without losing them like I got so used to in #SMT3 and not being able to do that really bothered me, so I exited P3R and loaded SMT3.
I found my latest save file before the ending was locked in and got to work on completing the Fourth Kalpa. True Demon Ending here I come!
I also decided to start #SMT4Apocalypse for the first time on my 3DS yesterday. I usually play #DevilSurvivor on the rare occasions that I use my 3DS but I have been stuck on the same battle for a very long time.
I’m going out of town soon and may end up with more time to play it. I was looking for another pocketable device to purchase but have been struggling to find something better.
I finished Shin Megami Tensei III !
Yet another game I started back in 2020. Originally I was emulating the PS2 version but I accidentally deleted a save file in 2022 and lost a bunch of progress.
Not long after that I decided to get the HD remaster on Switch and restarted the game on New Year's Eve 2022.
This time last year I got the game on Steam after finding out I could download a save file that would put me at the same spot I was at in the Switch version and edit it so I had the same stats and items.
I have a lot to say about the ending of this game but I'll save that for another post with a content warning.
Making my way up the Tower of Kagutsuchi in #SMT3. I went through a ton of random encounters on my way to the first boss and after beating him my level was 77, which allowed me to fuse Trumpeter.
I’ve been holding on to Daisoujou for so long since he can drain MP and transfer it to other members of my party, but Trumpeter has a skill that can pretty much replace that so now I can free up a much needed spot in my stock of demons.
I think I am able to fight the second boss now. I assume there is three total and then some sort of mega final boss or something.
This game is great. #ShinMegamiTenseiIII
Update: Just beat the second boss!
I did all I could in the Third Kalpa, which involved me grinding a full level to get my Luck up one point in order to open a certain door. Then I came across another door where I needed three more Luck points...
Luckily;) I had several Luck Incenses that I’ve collected so I used those which raised my Luck stat high enough to open it and get some nice items. I ended up using all my various incenses as it seemed like a good time to do so.
Since then I’ve been doing a lot of demon fusing. I got Mother Harlot, which was much easier than I thought it would be. Grinding in the Third Kalpa got me to level 70 and allowed me to also acquire Nyx, which I’m happy about as she has the Debilitate skill that I’ve been wanting.
I then went back to an area where I gave a spirit one of my demons not too long ago and that got me a stone which unlocked an optional boss battle that I won and was rewarded a Magatama with a Force skill that will work great with my MC’s build.
I think I’m now ready for the final dungeon!
I breezed through the Diet Building in #SMT3. Now I have the option of trudging through the Labyrinth of Amala to unlock the True Demon Ending or going straight to the Tower of Kagutsuchi and finishing the game with whatever ending I get based on the responses I've made throughout my playthrough*.
I'm going to go with the latter. If I ever feel like playing more of this game (which I have very much enjoyed), I'll have a good chunk of stuff left that I could do as I am only in the Third of Five Kalpas in the Labyrinth of Amala.
*Now that I think about it, I'm using a save file I downloaded and modified to match where I was in the Switch version that I played for 47 hours so I could play it on PC instead. That means most of the responses were made by someone else, which I'm okay with.

Since we were talking about him, here's the #SMT3 Demi-Fiend's battle theme from #SMTV. It's a melody of a few different battle themes from SMT3, but I can't identify all of them - it's similar to but not the same as "Normal Battle Melody v2" from the SMT III Nocturne Unreleased Music CD.
If the Nahobino's instrument is the organ, the Demi-Fiend's is definitely the electric guitar. 😁 🤘
