>>37971848It's okay. I don't like how they got rid of the extra layer of nuance from nocturne's fusion where some skills are limited to demons with specific physical features.
Smirk is superfluous and basically irrelevant if you're doing a magic build. IV:A is the only real improvement over Nocturne's press turn because it turns smirk into an actually competent mechanic.
Walter and Jonathan are boring as alignment reps and you don't really get to see their ideology develop completely since
they just fucking fuse into Luci/Merk. Tayama is vastly more interesting than Jonathan could ever be.
Pet peeve for me is I don't really like being able to save anywhere, I think there's no point in difficulty in encounters if you can just reload to exactly where you were before said encounter. But that's probably very much a me thing.
The game has positives, Tokyo is fucking great. The dub is fucking great. Great OST. Just quite a few things I don't like.
>>37972131Oddly enough I think I can appreciate 4:A's characters and story in isolation but I don't think they really work well together.
Like I feel as if the story should be taking itself seriously but when the cast has this UwU OwO anime trope shit going on it kind of clashes.
>>37972183Devil Survivor and SJ are probably my favourites. Can't really pick between them.
