Its still weird when you discover something horrifying in the game, and then Burroughs pops up and says, cheerily, "Congratulations on completing the quest!"
This is so true, and it makes sense since she's an AI.

Alignment? Speaking of which, I feel like I'm hovering around Neutral (semi-intentionally), so maybe I have a shot. To test my status, I tried doing the Path of Ethics two ways, each time getting a different alignment from the Cynical Man. I'm currently Chaos, but I'm not sure how to keep it centered going forward. I'm at the Face of True Evil quest, and
trying to find the reactor under Roppongi.
But PR always says none
Really?
Still no news of amiami.
Knowing that they will send me an email to pay first and another day to process the order, it will be shipped Wednesday at best

Err, I was asking which path took you that time to beat. I'm curious as to how much I have left to go, potentially.
It's "protection". It activates when you use Tetraja.
Finding out that minee shipped was the best way to start the morning already.

CDJapan shipped mine too. So glad I indulged.

Woohoo
Days later
That's with the neutral ending. I didn't have too much trouble hitting it since I made effort to remain neutral for most of the game. Only help that I had was that it's possible to get a shitton of
right at the very end so I went evil for a while and swung back.
Game was definitely worth the import, I had a blast. My only issue is that it got braindead easy once I got MP regen 2 app for myself and party, by that point I could go all out on every random encounter. Actually, if I traced it back, the game became far easier once I got access to Charge and Blight on MC. Pretty much every encounter was Charge -> skip everyone -> Blight. After the pain in the ass it was to defeat David you bet your ass I wore that move out. The last boss fight was super anticlimactic, my squad wasn't even that good. Ending totally came from left field with how hard I was beasting. I was like oh shit, I bet I have to fight
then the game just ended
I started over without carrying my level, I'm playing with a magic focused build, I dumped everything into dex last time. Gonna go for that Chaos route so I can bless the world with dat sweet Infernal music.
AND YES MY OST SHIPPED TOO

To answer my own earlier question, the DLC is currently on sale (some of it is anyway)
I haven't played all of it yet, but the story DLC is worth it if you want to flesh the story out a bit and fight superbosses. If you're into a lot of demon fusing you might also want the money and XP ones.

Blight is fucking heavenly. Your completion time is baffling to me, by the way--I'm pushing 70 hours and I haven't even hit the Alignment lock.
edit: I'm incredibly jealous of everyone getting the OST. I'd buy it in a heartbeat if I wasn't moving so soon.

Wow! If you continue at that rate on neutral route you'll probably hit 100
My ingame clock read 52h for what it's worth. Stupid Minotaur

I'm doing every sidequest I can, I'm level 43, and I've got 28 hours on the clock. I just got to the split where you pick sides. Not sure how people are at 70 hours first playthrough.

Oh, damn, that is pretty as hell. Nice job, dude.
Was at about 45-50 hours at that mark, idk how you have that little time.
Splash Wave

I mean, I also spend a ton of time looking at demon fusion and weighing my options. I reckon that contributes to the clock (included here is probably time leaving my 3DS open).

And I want that soundtrack so fucking bad, but:
a) I currently don't own anything that plays CDs (aside from my PS3, but this isn't where I play music)
b) I'm moving soon and thus cannot afford such "frivolous" purchases.
I'd kill for a digital release.
Edit: Occult Flash or Blight (+8) for my MC?!

Occult Flash is perfect to obliterate enemies in the field.
MC has a lot of MP, so the relatively high cost of Occult Flash isn't an issue for him.

Soundtrack arrived at my house today, love it of course. My only gripe is that the track list ripped as Unknown Artist and Track 1,2,3 etc.
This was my morning and most of the afternoon today. 4&1/2 hours of brilliance.
I'm still amazed the OST made it from Tokyo to Florida in 2 days. I also received the SMT4 Artbook today from a completely different seller (the arrival was divinely arranged it seems). Its been a SMT4 day for me matching the soundtrack to the incredible artwork. Flipping through the book I was reminded of how uniquely awesome the setting and story for this game is. There's nothing else like it.
Hated that. I ended up doing it manually.

Decided to pony up on the DLC thanks to the BestBuy deal. Yeesh, five bosses? I thought there was just Masakados and Ancient of the Sun. Are the other three worthwhile too? I grabbed the big two just now.
How do I go about fighting them? Not some Artorias-level ish, I hope.

They are 7 bosses actually.
Ancient of the Sun is IMO the most consistent fight (and the most difficult of the bunch) but the 2 Clipped Wings have the best addition to the story, especially if you did the Law route and Mastema's side quest.
Masakado is the only one that requires the previous DLCs to beat but it's not hard.
You typically need demons level > 80 with good skill set and high HP to be able to beat them all.

How do you access them? My only save besides clear data is right before

Ahhhhhhhhhhh it's hereeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I finally got home from work!
omg omg omg omg omg
Have some pics!
The audio quality is incredible, and listening to everything in their original uncompressed forms is quite the treat! My ears are picking up on a TON of little details that you can't hear on the 3DS, and for my sensitivity to such things, it's almost like listening to a whole new experience with the OST now that all the details of the audio are filled in finally! I also like that the box stands the same height as the LE game box too! They go nice together.
It heightened my love for my favorite OST of 2013 SO MUCH MORE!

They appear as quests and as soon as you accept one, you're sent to the place where the battle starts after a few conversations.

It's...beautiful. For the love of god I hope someone puts the rips on YouTube before long--what we currently have doesn't sound great (and understandably so). I need this.

Then I could see why they didn't put it on the OST, but it still would have been nice.

I've come to love SMT and EO since Strange Journey came out, so I think I'd really like it now. What sort of differences can I expect in the demon roster? Will the battle system feel a little too familiar having just come off this game?
And is anyone looking to sell their copy?
