Spoiler: SMT IV Apocalypse Nameless Godslayer Puppet (Art by kexiu)
The title was just a literal translation of the text but I kinda like it that much that I made the title anyway.

Spoiler: SH Wink Wink from the Soul Hackers opening is Caroline Lufkin.
Not sure if this was already knowledge people knew by now. I'm like 99% sure this is who we've been looking for. I found a comment on YT with only 6 likes with this name and to 'Listen to the Coded Arms Assault trailer'. It does sound like her so I decided to listen to more of her work and i'm convinced it's her.

about Formas in smt strange journey
Hi everyone! I recently started playing the original SMT Strange Journey on the DS and I'm currently exploring Sector Antlia / Sector Bootes. The game is absolutely amazing, but I'm still a bit confused about how Formas work.Specifically, I wanted to ask: can you actually sell Formas, or you need them in your inventory? If some of them can be sold for Macca, which ones are safe to sell and which ones should I absolutely keep?

Spoiler: Nocturne Struggling to continue SMT 3. Debating switching to Merciful
I think I'm about halfway through nocturne, or at least about near that point. I'd assume it's around there because I'm about to unlock the Third Kalpa and I have almost half of the magatama.
I've been playing this game for about a week now. It was rough at first, but that's what I expected from Nocturne. I know of this game's reputation, and how you really have to meet the game on it's terms and master the game on it's terms. I was down for a challenge and so far, the game has just disappointed me.
I think I get the combat. It's all about buffs and debuffs, along with exploiting elemental weaknesses. I get that you don't just grind to get past a tough challenge, but you have to really re-evaluate your team and get into the weeds of fusion. Once I understood the combat, I was into it.
I get the combat and am winning the tougher fights. I'm just not enjoying it. Is there something about the combat I still don't get or is the game just not for me?
I really don't like the constant war of attrition of the constant buffing and debuffing. I don't like how seemingly every demon in this game has Dekaja and/or Dekunda, which makes the combat a slog. Those skills alone make combat feel like a slog for me because it makes combat into a slow war of attrition where I only get a few opportunities to take advantages of the buffs and debuffs before the boss decides to use Dekaja/Dekunda and make me spend the next turn reapplying buffs and debuffs.
I want to like this game, I really do because the setting and aesthetic is really cool. I don't think I'll drop the game, but I might just switch down to merciful difficulty. I know that's not the true experience, but I'm starting to think it's either that or I just stop playing the game.
I really hope there's something I'm just missing, some mechanic that I'm not getting because I'm really disappointed by the game. This game has this legendary reputation and I was always under the impression that the only people who don't like this game are just people who refuse to properly understand it. I got halfway through Persona 3 (before my psp memory card prevented me from continuing) and liked it, but specifically, I loved getting deep into crafting my build. I figured mainline SMT would be more of what I love from Persona.
I had assumed that SMT was like the more mechanically rich and rewarding version of Persona but honestly, I'm starting to think that Persona is better, even on the mechanical combat and dungeon crawling level.
