Digital Devil Saga 2

Has anyone pick it up yet?

My stupid EBgames forgot to call me, so I had to get it the day after.



They have totally improved the load times. They pretty much don't exist. While the didn't fix the crazy amount of random battles, they do go much faster and not much of a headache.

It is still a very beautiful game and just fun to play.

Re: Digital Devil Saga 2

It is basic turn base. You start out in each battle in your demon form, unless you get caught by surprise and stay in human form, or go in berserk mode, in which you become half demon and half human.

You have a little turnbase icons at the top of the screen that shows you how many turns you get. If you attack the monster with his weakness, crit, then you can get an extra turn.

You basically have a skill chart like in FFX, where you can choose which skills to learn.

And in this one, you have rings which can boost your stats.

Re: Digital Devil Saga 2

the whole extra turn thing turns me off. Plus I don't like how the game looks.

Re: Digital Devil Saga 2

How'd the first game compare to Nocturne(which I still haven't beat)?

[Vonwert]

Re: Digital Devil Saga 2

I can't say, since I haven't played Nocturne. But it is a solid rpg and good story.

Re: Digital Devil Saga 2

I think I like Nocturne more than DDS at this point, but DDS is more regular RPG-goer-friendly, while Nocturne gives you a lot of room to customize your party at the expense of ease-of-use.

I hate the Brutes' Base.

Re: Digital Devil Saga 2

I hated the last dungeon in DDS1. It drove me to maddness with all those stupid holes and warps.

Luckily there isn't anything that bad in DDS2.


I hope for the next game they make, they do more Persona, in having it take place in a modern day, thriving community.

Re: Digital Devil Saga 2

The next SMT game they're making is Devil Summoner 2 or summat. One of those niche RPG news sites like RPGamer or something had screenshots on it. It was set in post-WW2 Japan.
