- Yes, that Soma at the end was wasteful as hell considering I knew the fight was nearly over. - It also felt wasteful for Demi to take 2 level ups without learning a skill, but this battle was way too long and tedious to risk dying to surprise physicals. - This was my second successful attempt. The first was about 10 minutes longer since he spammed the Dragon Eye script even more, and it ended in a flurry of terrible skill changes. I decided to give it one more go. - I'm glad I did, because Endure at the end was a helluva nice surprise. IIRC Endure refreshes when you switch demons out in hardtype, so this could be quite exploitable.
The Soma thing isn't really a big deal since you do still have 12 of them, and they're not ridiculously uncommon like in DDS. Plus, assuming it's the same in Hardtype, you can farm Beads of Life in the 5th Kalpa diving minigame, though that won't be available for a while.
18 minutes of Hardtype Ongyo-ki, by any chance did you count how many times it took for you to beat him? Because I’m worried that you’re overdoing it. Don’t die on us Jim!
One death caused by Dis whiffing an Agilao. A couple by early Mudoons. And one time where Stasis Blade inflicted bind on Demi Fiend that just wouldn't wear off.
I'm in my first playthrough of standard Nocturne (PS3 virtual console, just before the elevator to Hikawa in the Diet Building), and I noticed at 2:11 Blob has the ability to swap for Gui Xian... Is that a QOL for the Hardtype mod, or did I miss something? Because a quick swap like that would have been invaluable earlier in my playthrough...
@@JimReaperSaysUnsubscribe OK. Sorry for the dumb question. I'm not that great at the Megami Tensei games I've played (which aren't many... Nocturne, Persona 4 and the all-too-easy Persona 5), and I honestly expected to have overlooked a mechanic that would've made me groan less against Surt.
How possible is it to make Megido miss here? In regular Nocturne it'd be super easy by stacking Sukukajas, but hardtype isn't that nice due to the +2 -2 limits.
It's possible (IDK if it happened in this run but I saw Uzume/Kikuri dodge occasionally) but not that practical since there just aren't enough PTs to buff speed each round. Rakukaja has to take priority.
Aight, skill-morphing question: do you know if it's possible for Anti-Ailments to morph into Void Ailments (or anything at all)? Or do you not know (yet)?
I don't know, although I'm guessing not. Skill morphing is kinda busted in this mod, I don't think it was something zombero really considered. Also, anti-phys can't upgrade to void phys even in the base game, so it would be fair for anti-ailments to get the same treatment (void ailments is an amazing lategame passive after all)
@@JimReaperSaysUnsubscribe I think I did get Void Phys from Anti-Phys in Hardtype, so... Anyways, I'm mainly curious as to whether or not Hardtype custom skills can morph at all. I did just get an idea as to how to test it: summon a low-level demon from the Compendium, edit its skills so they're all Hardtype custom ones, and watch it level up after I fight any random battle so I can see if anything will morph into anything...
I think (hope) I should have access Tetrakarn by then, looking at the levels from my last playthrough. It's tight as hell though, I should be lvl 37 for Pale Rider which is exactly right to fuse an Onkot which then levels up and learns it.
@@JimReaperSaysUnsubscribe still, that asshole get crap ton of buffs, fortunately, after beat him u got access to Girimehkala I drop the game like a month ago after defeating dante, the riders are easy, but metatron and Beelzebub seen like a hell more than they are in the vainilla xd
Fun fact:
In Digital Devil Saga 1, Ongyo-Ki is level 69, with 669 HP and 6699 MP. In Nocturne Hardtype, he has 6900 HP.
Level Sixty-Nice
Nice
Nice
nice
6969 MP would've been slightly better. 😏
A 20 minute Jim Reaper video is something great or something terrifying, usually somewhere in between

Just make sure to back up your saves
Good job onii chan

the true low level experience: 2 low level, hard to get, underappreciated monstrosities and 2 waifus end up being absolute MVPs
My previous comment didn't age well at all
The way you switch demons is beautiful.
Nice job. How do you think Metatron is going to be, with his Heat Riser and all?
I'm more scared of his Silent Prayer
I think Buffie had to make a savestate to get through it. The whole endgame is gonna be ridiculous.

jim "my boy" reaper does it again. you just did the ongyoki what you also did to the DDS2 run >:)
I am incredibly impressed. The expectations you just set are incredibly high now.
>Give up the skill seduce?
Damn demi-fiend wants it all
I keep forgetting this is a mod when I watch these.
I was sitting here going "Ongyo-Ki has Megido?!?!?"
i have to say this was an interesting boss, you dont really see many jrpg fights with magical hats mechanics like this.
Damn that Megido hits hard.

Hardtype exclusive to incentivise demon switching more

idk how useful a megido miss actually is tho
Turns out, removing enemy's PTs is useful regardless of what miss it is.

is there a particular reason you are doing the Oni now instead of later? Losing two level up skills seems rough for low level.
