"Are humans just tools for deicide?"
Shin Megami Tensei IV Final is a follow-up to the fourth numbered game of the Shin Megami Tensei series developed by Atlus for the Nintendo 3DS.
Plot
Shin Megami Tensei IV Final is set in the year 203X. In order to avoid the destruction caused by the gods' war that suddenly broke out 25 years ago, the sky was covered with a thick bedrock to avoid contact with the outside. The war ended before long, and while Tokyo is surviving, there are few goods to go around, people are killing each other, and man is dominated by the angels and demons standing at the top of the food chain.[2]
Development
Shin Megami Tensei IV Final was first revealed by Atlus on October 5th, 2015 in the Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu along with the main key word of the game "Deicide". It is produced by Kazuyuki Yamai, with Masayuki Doi as character designer, Ryota Kozuka as composer, and Kazuma Kaneko as the setting planner and demon designer. The reveal image shows Navarre as a ghost alongside the other main characters. In an interview with Famitsu, Yamai stated that "We’ve looked over a lot of player feedback from Shin Megami Tensei IV and we’re making improvements everywhere we can, even to things like controls and demon conversations—there is a lot of reconsideration and reforming going on. We’re aiming to make the number one RPG for 3DS, so we’re paying attention to every detail. We’re making it so that even those who didn’t play Shin Megami Tensei IV can enjoy this game." The game is currently 90% complete.[3] Further details on the game were revealed in a Niconico stream on October 11, 2015.
Gameplay Changes
Nanashi is capable of choosing which partner joins him in battle, with them each specializing in a different role. So far seven characters have been revealed for the role. There is an "assist gauge" which can stack up to 8 points. One assist point is accumulated each turn automatically, but some response to boss' question will grant extra assist points. When the gauge is full, enemy turn is interrupted, one of those not acting as an active partner in battle will act once and then followed by a powerful joint attack on all enemies, the whole player party is granted the Smirk status, subsequently the gauge is depleted and charged anew. Partners also use their own demons to help with combat.
The Moon Phase System returns in the game, although it is not shown in battle. Certain skills have additional effects when the user is under the Smirk status. For example, Light spells now primarily inflict damage which are effective against boss as well, but their instant death effect only activates during Smirk; "King Bufula", an all-enemy moderate ice attack which seemingly is exclusive to King Frost will debuff defense in addition during Smirk. Demons now hum or roar while attacking or hurt (similar to Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne). The negotiation system has been updated. Human units can be leveled up just like demons. Demons using magic they specialize in will deal more damage or cost fewer MP, the resultant enhancements on skills are similar to ranking up skills of the previous protagonist via Whisper event.
Estoma now creates a barrier around Nanashi and has a shortcut to it on the menus.
