you do end up fighting god itself, in all his almighty cruelness.

Sorta...

Remember that these games are canonical to the Persona Series as well.

Not quite. Persona is a spin off from Shin Megami Tensei. While they have exactly the same theme and some characters remain the same (nyarlathothep, YHWH, lucifer, satan, some others), they don't follow the same storyline IE the hero from the first shin megami tensei never existed in persona, as far as I can tell. You could say persona is a slightly more tame version of the shin megami tensei series, which has sold very well in america and europe, while Shin Megami Tensei is only heard once in a while.

From TvTropes:

The Shin Megami Tensei series has multiple spinoffs: the Persona series, the Devil Summoner series and Digital Devil Saga are the best-known in the US. Others include Majin Tensei, Last Bible, and Devil Children/Demi Kids. It also has an MMORPG called Shin Megami Tensei: IMAGINE. Despite being spinoffs, many include references to other Megaten games or feature character cameos. The games have been released outside Japan under the Shin Megami Tensei label since Nocturne, while in Japan only a handful of the games bear that name; the rest are unofficially known as MegaTen titles.

Shin Megami Tensei series games have only been marketed here since Nocturne's success on the PS2, but they have been kicking for as long as final fantasy and dragon quest in japan.

Maybe I'm the one hogging all the luck then, with lightless lanterns, 1k golds and gems being thrown at me now and then.

I've only heard sweet things about Record of the Lodoss War ever since it got translated, but haven't tried. You could try it for me

There are penalties for eye encumbrance, not sure about head encumbrance though. It might lower your speed, not sure.

Agreed. There's not NEARLY enough info that this guy can provide something superior to what JADE has become. Sorry, it just smells too much of scam. At best, its riddled with unrealistic spectations.

So styles are supposed to be taught by NPCs? Guess I'll be hunting some down then.

Also, to survive early, what I do is keep moving until you find a safe place you can use as your headquarters, like a Lab or a military bunker of sorts (once you can open the doors, obviously), then stock up on everything you find useful and read all books you can find. If you're a melee type, get yourself a crowbar and raid pawn shops for rapiers/broadswords.

I found me a bike, but I think Im gonna craft my own roadbeast, as soon as I raise my mechanics and construction a bit more. Is construction used in building vehicles, or is it just mechanics and eletronics?

I suppose posting about all the errors and bugs and describing how they happened + error log would be beneficial to development, so thats what I'm doing.
