I mean, he does turn into a literal angel as the last boss. Then into a satanic looking skeleton demon, that then turns into a creepy white winged skeleton angel.
And he has the standard Chaos Route SMT train of thought.

That's why I loved using him as my Mage. He's dodgy as fuck and always goes first so he can damn near always tag a weakness right off the bat if you inherit Wind/Light/Dark on him, or he can steal shit at the start of the turn which makes reset easy as fuck to use. He may have middling Magic, but once he got the skill to cut MP costs for synthesis skills down, enemy encounters in dungeons were no longer an issue outside of maybe one or two individual enemies per dungeon.

I thought I'd swap him off of it once I got dedicated mages, but I ended up keeping him on it until I got Royal Thief. Worked out quite well, especially once Basilio replaced Strohl.

I thought it was really good for the most part, my only disappointment was I initially found it quite difficult, appropriately so, using magic because I built into magic, but then I tried using a physical skill unique to the protagonist just to try it and it absolutely shat all over him even though I only had like 25 strength.

Just finished the Glodell fight, this game is so fucking weirdly averse to having the protagonists kill people in cutscenes. Zorba jumps off a roof and then Glodell gets choked to death for no reason even though Grius was just immobilized. Seems retarded when you canonically fight Louis' boys as trash mobs mid-bosses and there's plenty of other killing

If you read compendium entry about royal magic it's not a surprise. It says the chains get tighter the more you struggle and they can choke you to death.

What was the deal with the dead bodies lying around that had what looked like black flakes of Magla flaking off of them? Was it just meant to be random dead people to show that society was a mess? I spent the whole game thinking they had some specific affliction but it was never addressed, or if it was I didn't notice, and I had been reading the Memorandum too.

That's precisely why he added in Persona 3. Persona 3 heavily draws from the original big dating sim True Love down to a lot of the social stats being the same. Hashino wanted to make a game that let loser otaku like him live out their highschool fantasies but more PG than True Love. The romance in Persona and it's inspiration could only come from a guy that was a lonely otaku.

I actually really like this party. I thought they were a little dull at first, but they're all pretty endearing in their own ways. Strohl's just a solid bro, Hulk is my wife, Heismay is based, Judah is a lovable Stacy and Eupha and Bas are cute. Even Not-Cyd even has his moments.

Louis's vision was ultimately sterile, he had no vision at all beyond purges every now and then.
He's right in that bad genes from inbreeding and the likes should be purged, but he fails in delivering a vision beyond that.
Louis cannot create, he can only destroy.
That's as far as a critic I could give to his vision without stepping into the obvious "haha I'm evil" shit Atlus had him do in endgame like losing his cool to Basilio and the evil laugh against the mc.

If you lose and select "restart on the gauntlet runner" it sets you to the day before you actually leave, so you can go to the city and buy stuff.

Some ways you can get through it otherwise:

You can just attack with another fire spell and lose 2 turns to get rid of the shield and attack with the other 2 attacks. Or you can use Junah's dance debuff to inflict weakness to an element. If you have a good General leveled up with their ice move then you can do ice dance > general's ice attack > keep doing it over and over again since the general attack also inflicts weakness to ice again.

I ended up going all in, one party member clears the block with a fire stone and loses 2 turn points, but then the rest of the party can actually deal damage, it helps that the dragon keeps wasting 1 turn reapplying the block

this is why the game doesn't let you romance anyone cause gallica (best girl) is the cannon romance.
they legit sleep together once the MC transforms, even before MC transformation, they slowly start becoming closer and closer to the point they care for each other more than friends.
even how they act around the end game, you know they are together but keeping it on the downlow so it doesn't distract the others.
i truly believe after playing this that she'll be the queen.

FUCK this idiot. a crit brave blade hardly does more than wanton destruction. only thing strohl is good for is a charged up crit hassou tobi or that one synthesis thats better than hassou tobi and even then if it doesnt crit then fuck you

MC being revealed as a pseudo-dragon that is just materialized magla just means that he needs to reconstruct/rematerialize himself as fairy-sized, then he can fuck Gallica all he wants. Failing that, it'd be a completely non-penetrative relationship where the furthest they go is freaky shit like bodyjobs or cumjars.

The message is beware of jews. Louis, a native fantasy jew whose people got holocausted, puts on horns and pretends to be of the priviliged race only to undo the society they built and hold together from the inside. He believes the new world he creates from the ashes will be better for the chosen people like himself while the rest of the population are slave cattle.

I played with EN voices. The voice direction is a problem and Will's voice is shit so I won't say that I think the dub is amazing, but I still prefer it over the JP voice track. Certain voice performances like Batlin, Hulkenberg, and Basilio's make up for the weaker ones.

I hope Persona 6 copies Metaphor's social link mechanics and removes the hidden affection meter that prevents you from ranking up, it got so bad at one point in Persona 5 that I wouldn't spend time with anyone unless it was a rank up, otherwise I would just spam Chihaya's power until they were ready to rank up
The way Metaphor does it is much, much better, if you spend time with your followers you WILL rank up

Each eye represents a race, pretty sure.

just personal preference. Maybe you want Basilio to be your mage, etc. Once you start mastering your royal archetypes you get a-exp items out the ass, so it can be useful leveling the other archetypes with them to get the permanent stat bonuses

how come Gallica doesn't act like any of the other fairies you encounter throughout the game? No whimsy, no scatter-brained behavior, no detached morals, etc. Really just seems more like a tiny human than an actual fairy

More is closer to Stephen in terms of role initially, then he sorta becomes like Salmael from Tactica or Meme-Aleph - literally delusional but believing what he's doing is "right" in rejecting what he views as a "false" ideal or fantasy and to save his son. Nobody in Metaphor is tyrannical or obsessed with worship enough to be YHVH.

Depends on what you like, Persona 3 Reload or Persona 5 Royale would be the most similar on bonds and time management. If you want more focus on the gameplay and focus on morality conflicts with less interpersonal relation stuff, Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance or Shin Megami Tensei IV for 3DS are great choices.

If you want to go older, I would highly recommend Digital Devil Saga for PS2 because it also balances a lot of the gameplay and character focus more than the other two. It's also cool to see as a heavily Hindu-inspired mythology focus.

In that dungeon I already had my masked dancer just put on a thief mask and suck mp non stop whenever she got low I also already had 2 mp regen items from that tomb dungeon and of course I was rich thanks to merchant do I had also bought mp regen consumables.
I also managed to save MP thanks to Pugilist+Merchant on the MC who was equipped with the skill that increases the money spent for attacks and the Q one crits constantly for like 700-800+ damage.

For the gold tooth boys I just gave them weakness to dark with masked dancer and then almostone shot them with Heismay.
For the trees they actually get the burn affliction via masked dancer on top of weakness to fire and then you can just pound them with pugilist+Merchant

It's decent. It has some really high highs and some really low lows. Pacing is generally awful and most of the interesting stuff is incredibly backloaded.

They also love to introduce plot points and drop them, or make them very vague and then forget about them entirely.

Honestly XVI's story is kind of fun if you don't think too hard, but when you do think too hard you'll realize how messy and improvised it is.

Well it's something you get specifically by grinding out the ass to break the game, so it's not exactly shocking you would not get it without that.
You even get a synthesis that purposefully boils down to "instantly win the fight" if you have 3 royals + prince in your party, so yeah.
That beside, keeping everyone in their original paths usually just makes sense. Their stats are garbage for most alternatives.

Now Heismay's
>Lmao and also merchant and gunner because fuck you
can indeed go fuck itself though.
>>
>>692817365
I did a bit of grinding at the end to hit 100% archetypes on the MC but heisemey was the only one of the royals I actually had to worry about but thats also because I kept most characters in their classes. It's really not that bad. Heisemay is the only one who has kinda fucked requirements everyone else either has the pre-reqs foreshadowed by their main class or joins late enough that if you were just keeping them in their native class trees you'll see the pre-reqs before you max it out.

Story is fine and Louis actually never disappoints in his personality all the way through. I enjoy that the final fight is everyone going,
>ackshually you just don't have friends you incel
but the guy just takes it and commits to it anyway.
I also enjoy that he really does genuinely try to convince the main character three times with patience to join him, (and actually follows through with it if he does by choosing the bad end), and even outright relents from killing the prince instead trying to force him into turning human until he PURSE-OWNER's himself.
Overall the best delivered antagonist Fatlus has made.
The pace of the last bit of storyline could in fact have used polish, but not due to Louis himself.

If this was the true final boss with only the MC playable this would've been a top 1 final boss fight of all time

I don't know why Hashino keeps giving characters attacks that can destroy the planet, but won't give bosses the health to match. SMT still seems to manage, outside the ridiculous set ups. Hell Hashino worked on Nocturne where Lucifer is a good fight even if you grinded.

i was hoping something like that would happen but the instant the entire party came back to the rooftop after some bullshit reason i knew its gonna be a disappointing cliche fight

Once they learn what it is, they are. Monkeys get addicted to shit pretty much the same way we do, just with infinitely less sapience. A person might be able to ween themselves off of an addiction, but monkeys aren't intelligent enough to practice self control once they develop the ability to crave.

Playing any medieval game with JP voices is like actively wanting to slit my throat just like trying to play any Japanesse-setting game in english tends to make you want to scratch your eyes out.
No matter how anime the game may look, the JP voices end up retarded in a setting with knights and pajeets and other shit.
The overall EN cast was pretty great, though I can agree Will's voice was very whatever. Specially during the speech as King, that was hilariously weak. Not as bad as it could have been though, for a silent character with minor voice acting that IS supposed to be an overall meek person for most of the game, the voice fits well.

Heavenward and Shadowbringers stories are good. But the pacing gets worse and worse as the game goes on, newest expansion is nearly unplayable.

So the morale of the story in this game based on what happens is basically,
>Anyone can do anything with the power of fantasy!
>Assuming you are part of a seclusive sect of extremely magic enhnaced people
>And you are royalty
>And both of your parents are omniscent ghosts that can bring you back from death several times
>And they decide to sacrifice like, entire generations of people on the slim chance that you have the same morals and mindset as you did when you were 10 and obsessed with that one book they wrote
>And also everyone else is incompetent except one guy
>Who is also part of that super secret sect only nobody ever heard of him in your clan of like, ten people, so he does whatever he wants

the message is you need to import 400000 haitians to your country immediately

Everyone in the game is from the same country though.
