characters and story were good, fatlus doesn't give a shit about smt anymore so they put no effort in V and are making soul hackers 2 a persona spin off

Also what do you guys usually go for? Law chaos or neutral?

Never gayos. Otherwise it depends on the game.

An actual story.
Likeable characters.
An interesting world to explore instead of a bunch of empty recolored wastelands.
The sprites for battles was meh but it made battles fast and snappy. V's battles feel so sluggish in comparison.
Better soundtrack.

V feels like it should be faster but just ends up being sluggish

less than 3 weeks until Soulless Hackers

Fat whore

always chaos, law and neutral in that order. If you don't do them all then you didn't beat the game.

Where's the pubes?

Is there an easier way other than to play the whole game again to get the multiple endings? Sometimes I’m just not in the mood to play though the whole game again

you just have to persevere, unless it's Nocturne because that alignment system is shit.

Always Law first, afterwards Chaos. I find these two alignments ideologies and aesthetics better than Neutral, since Neutral is boring as fuck typical JRPG ending shit.

Why is it when SMT 4 got mentioned in a 5 thread or some SMT threads, people for some reason shitted on it and claimed 5 was better or some other thing?

Contrarians desu they don’t usually have good reasonings for why it’s not good.

I thought they were equally good. SMTV having the edge in gameplay and IV in story/characters.
SJ and DSJ run circles around both of them though

It's in kind of a weird place, between the new direction/creative team, its failure to realize its original concept, and the prominence of out-of-place guest art. Opinions remain somewhat divisive.
>and claimed 5 was better
My feeling is the only people who'd argue this in sincere good faith are complete and total sickos that you should avoid inviting to a dinner party.

5 was clearly unfinished. Apparently 6 years isn't enough to make a fucking jrpg.

Always Law

My only disappointments with IV were that it didn't have the first-person labyrinth type dungeons and that the ending felt very anti-climactic.

I replayed the entire game in 6 hours on emulator with speed up because I got to the white forest and wound up on chaos route, so just do that.
