God I want Louis to rape me
>>693261149cool thread opyou meant that metaphorically tho right?
The game needed more moments like this
I like long rpgs but the barren, ps3-era looking environments of this game are a huge turn off. Really ugly looking game.
>>693261340This
>>693261149It'd be nice if trannies and/or false-flagging jrpg haters didn't keep making these flaming OPs
I checked the fairies in the Sanctum and wtf... our fairy, Gallica is the only one that dresses like a slut.
>>693263775
>>693263841
>>693263904
>>693263775She hang out with people alot
>>693261283I didn't mind that moment on its own, but I feel like it would come across too silly if shit like that was happening constantly.
Am I just going to be using weaker skills with prince as a magfag late game, or skipping the whole thing entirely for an actual magic-focused archetype?
>>693261149>play for 45 hours>have fun>take a break from the game for 2 days>suddenly I can't be bothered to finish it anymoreI can't play long games anymore. It's over.
>>693267148I built into Magic and still used Prince for the final boss at least. Resist All is kind of hard to say no to and the way it works with Synthesis skills is a big help too. I just inherited Exorcist Light and Hyper onto Prince and that worked well enough, Prince also comes with Radiant Light which is a decent AoE.
>>693267331I'm the same way.I've started blitzing the last quarter of games, skipping any and all side content to get to the end before I can throw it into the backlog forever.
>>693261283The cast is all adults, this isn't persona
>>693263775>>693263841>>693263904>>693263943Those are male fairies anon. The memorandum says that all male fairies all traps.
Wish he was a female character t b h
>>693263841Hey, Amanozako!
>>693269225What for, perfect female furry candidate already exists.
>>693267148Just build for Synergy spells, then Royal Sword with Strohl/Bas to feed off their STR. I spent all my points in Mag and Prince still hits the hardest
>>693268537Adults can act that way too
>>693268537The protagonist is underage, he can't drink yet. Strohl might be an adult, but maybe not, hard to say.
It's baffling that she's the one who getting a figure
>>693271116Junah is more popular than Eupha in Japan. They really don't like shitskin waifus.
>>693271116shes a persona character u see
>>693271116She's the most popular.
>>693270217The protagonist is 18
>>693271350>They really don't like shitskin waifusfalse
>>693271116Marketing team was pushing Junah as the main girl that players would fall for, not Brigitta, Galica or Eupha.
>>693271546fuck blonde midget
So... I get that Sanctists can continue coping about God since you mostly prove their faithful are corrupt, but not much else.But.What even is the "faith" of the Mustari that they wish to bring to the mainland by the epilogue?You both find and tell them their dragon is just a magla monster people used to fuck each other up after managing to seal it in a weapon.And that's all that dragons are.So what are they even preaching?
>>693272152handholding = SEX
>>693271116She's hot and cool. What's the problem?
>>693269225>DUDE BEER LAMO
>>693267331Literally what happened to me with Persona 5. I think I'll get back to it, but it's been so long ( like 6 months) that I don't even know how to play it anymore . I might as well watch the rest on YouTube.
No, seriously, he has a point.send blacks to africasend asians to asiasend jews to furnace
I'm seriously considering just using cheatengine if that final month isn't enough to maxed out all virtues and followers.No way I'd NG+ a 80 hours game just for completion.I do wonder if we're getting any DLC that just resumes our savefile.
>wins election>instantly puts all his friends into key positions of powerHow is this legal?
>>693274603This is how it works in every modern country as well.
>>693274603
Gallica will get to watch...
Was it autism?
>>693274603Tell that to Trump
What happened in there that they didn't want him to see?
>racetribe is the most hated>racetribe is actually one of the closest to real humanityMetaphor indeed
Griffith is so fucking cool
>>693274603You're a king. That's how it goes because you have final say.
>>693274603That's every politician ever
>>693274603At least you get called out by Milo but I understand that is a completely different topic than the idealism message Hashino was trying to convey.
>>693276636>Called out by the guy who wants to exterminate poor peopleNot exactly a great endorsement.
>>693274603The most popular candidate was a guy who murdered his way to the throne, I don't think the people care too much about the fairness of court logistics.
>>693274603Strohl is your right hand man and nobility Both Heismay and Hulk were veteran knights Junah is already a richfag celebrityEupha is basically a princess Bas is a bit of a stretch but he was already well respected amongst Louis' command All of them are archetype users
>>693276986He hates the uggos
So Louis is Metaphor's version of Lucifer, right?
>>693277123And Gallica?
>>693277291Royal onahole
Honestly surprised and happy Louis remains the antagonist throughout.

WATCH OUT
>>693261149Why are the animations for character models so stiff? Shit looks awful. Even Ys X has better animations.
>>693271421That's Hulkenberg
So are they going to do a post game expansion? It's set up for more adventures and they've said they don't want to do re releases anymore after SMTVV, which is why The Answer for Reload was a normal DLC.
Is bat dad going to call Basillio a slur at some point
>>693274186Complete Anglo death.
>>693278183Im convinced people are just memeing. Im about to set off for the island and he hasnt been racist yet. At all.
>>693277247Yes, it's not very subtle about it.
>>693278242Are the elves just GermansAre Elda the nippons and Clemar whiteyDogs are obviously niggers
>>693278258He says like two racist things and people blow it out of proportion.
Hes luciferHes dioHes griffither tokenHe sure doesnt want to hurt no onee
>>693278397Honestly Strohl should have done some racist shit, if only unintentionally, like being patronising and shit.
>>693278473More is DIO, not Louis.
>>693278397Just like real life fr fr
maxxed out all bonds and did all optional bosses and dungeons and still got 8 days left. is arena the only thing i can do cause that shit is boring
>>693271116Call me when they make a figure of her true form.
>>693278551>Someone says something insulting to Will>Strohl steps in saying "hey, that's my fucking Eigger you're talking to"How do you respond?"
>>693263943>you're just like the king and queencute and canon
>>693274603Who is going stop us? We can use a ton of different magic without needing anything
>>693278392The Rhoad are semites/boomers
>>693278898You do get a achievement for clearing gold 30 but there is a fucking horrible mob in there that I fucking HATE do be careful and have light damage
>>693278473He's Reinhard von Lohengramm
>The church is bad>No the church is actually goodwat
>>693280540It's church (the institution) is bad but religion is not bad.
>>693269462Wait does synthesis actually scale on both people? I thought it was just the one who initiates it.
>Finish game in 70 hoursUh... Wasn't the game supposed to be 150 or something? With over 100 Persona- archetypes?Did Hashino lie?
>>693278397its funny watching chuds latch onto the one character they can relate with and completely ignore how his entire character arc is becoming not racist
>>693281138His character arc is about his son. If his character arc were about his racism it wouldn't only come up like two times, it's just a minor detail of his character, not his main thrust.
>>693280540the church isn't inherently good or bad
>>693280908If you go for Regicide on NG+ you can get to 100h total
>>693280540Fucking retard
>>693261149So let me get this straight>louis “NOT LUCIFER” created the metaphor world after gaining power from the TDE in nocturne>you defeat him using the ATLUS swordAmazing game chuddies
>>693281792You got it all gay sorry
>>693281495Why would that make Hulkenburger so mad, he was talking to Eupha.
How does this even work? This town is pretty cool looking. I really want to explore the giant sand worm husk or the area around it, such a shame that it's just a background, something about seeing the giant thing under a beautiful blue sky and acres of sand, just looks super kino to me. Liking the game so far, but I'm genuinely tired of the Persona formula after tasted the SMT apple this year. No matter how hard I try, doing the life/dating sim shit just bores the ever living shit out of me. Also, Brigitta is cute. CUTE! Oh btw, are the "humans" thing a substitute for the demons in SMT/Persona? Since the game since to suggest our world being the fictionalized utopia, mirroring our view on heaven/hell. Cute little twist.
>>693282345Most schizo post of the day award
>>693282286This is the true meaning of Milo's beauty.
>>693279428>Killed herself before I could punish her with bearing the kings children and warming the kings bedWoke Atlus
>>693282547Not my fault that the jannies made me wait 10 minutes before posting. I just added more and more question whilst waiting.>inb4 verify emailalready did, but something fucked up my browser, everytime I shut down my pc, the login data or something, just resets. I have to relogin youtube and everything, fuck even 4chan setting resets. Probably have to format my pc, but I'm too lazy to do it.
>>693282345>Also, Brigitta is cute. CUTE!Good boy.
The thing with Joanna was what missing in both Tales of Arise and FFXVI. I don't know why writers just love to infantilize the oppressed as if they aren't capable of doing evil shit. Anyways, super pissed that I almost burned my entire MP trying to beat the baby while she's still in stalking/chase mode. Only for it to not matter. I always forget JRPGs can be pretty fucking shit when it comes to player agency. Had to switch to mage and farm at the dog spawn to recoup my MP.
>>693282945THIS GAME IS FUCKING EPIC
>>693283461Yeah, I beat up the baby when I first encountered it and I was kind of hoping it would give me a special reward or whatever.
>>693283461>trying to beat the baby while she's still in stalking/chase modeSuch a dumb thing to include after introducing optional hard fights with big rewards like the dragon. They even use similar wording so of course you are tempted to try.
I really like the wizard's design
>>693284000Yeah? I dont.
>>693284000Shame it's useless outside of mana collecting in early game
>>693284000Same.
>>693284000>koreanAnon is it true you guys have tiny dicks
>>693284392Yeah.
>>693283754I thought beating it would at least end the hide and seek section. But nope.>>693283797Oh yeah, the fire dragon. Is there any other dungeon that have optional and rewarding shit like that? I'm not that far into the game yet, probably halfway through Brilehaven arc, but I genuinely can't remember the last time optional shit was even present in the game since the fire dragon fight. >>693284296Is Mage/Wizard not good in the game? I'm building my MC to be one since the other party members that I have right now isn't that well suited for the role.
It's funny how the gang is easily willing to forgive a lady who sacrificed hundreds to the baby mutant just cause she was sad and are cool with the Aztecs sorry I mean Mustari sacrifice people to a dragon god all in the name of diversity and acceptance
>>693285284forgiveness and empathy aren't quite the same thing anon
>>693273685same but with p3
>>693285284They don't forgive Joanna and were against Eupha sacrificing herself though.
I've played through the entire game on hard and cleared it with MC in mage lineage. I can't find anything that hits harder than lightning weakness dance/the lightning synthesis move. You guys are saying prince is better than elemental master but im struggling to see how.
>>693285210I thought the Mage line was fine. I built into Magic and got good use out of it.
>>693267148Went MAG/VIT for the entire game. Prince is still good as a magic class when you use equipment and passives to buff your STR. By the end of the game I was basically a tank that could deal both magic and physical damage. All Prince has for STR skills are two uniques, one of which deals almighty damage. Don't worry if you went full MAG for most of the game.
>>693285284Being empathetic to Joanna's past is not the same as forgiving her for what she did.
>>693285284they didn't forgive anything you retard
>>693271116Atlus has a clear favorite and unfortunately Atlus has shit taste as always.
>>693284296it's good in the midgame before you can unlock the broken royal archetypessadly suffers from the social link being timegated
>>693275558>jew standin race are the most human>(((merchant))) class breaks the game>huge happening in game occurs on 9/11What did Atlus mean by this?
what's the deal with the game being full of teeth?
>>693285841Wisdom teethThey have advice
>>693285374>>693285665No I'm pretty sure if she smiled a little more then they would have forgiven her
>>693261149Making a second trip through the Cathedral because because my MP regen isn't quite there yet(MC was fine with Mage and sifting through weak shitters, but the rest of my party ran empty and don't want to waste too many MP restores yet). Do some enemies not respawn in dungeons? Noticed none of those egg cunts seem to be there.
Probably some of the most forgettable dungeons in the persona smt verse.Even p3 Tartarus is better than most of MR dungeons
>>693286610The side dungeons maybe, but the main dungeons are good. The issue is just there isn't enough of them, there's only 4 dungeons that feel like proper dungeons on the scale you'd expect.
>>693286731The Cathedral and tower Shinjuku were the only okay ones, it's like they put the most work into the cathedral and gave up on the rest. Everything else is laughably dull especially Louis' ship "dungeon"
>>693287018The castle and Skybound Avatar are good too, but other than that it's just Louis' ship, which barely even qualifies as a dungeon, the Opera House, which you could say the same of, and Tyrant's Star, which just feels like two rooms for you to farm in.
>>693279052you just know
Paladin or Dark Knight?
>>693277247Idk man probably not
>>693287862Holy Knight Proclamation carried me through the end game
>>693285284That story was such a huge point of me not giving a fuck about the retarded narrative anymore>oh poor woman you see she was a mother and it's totally understandable that a mother in sorrow will FEED LIVING KIDS TO A MONSTER WTF HOW THE FUCK ARE THESE COMPLETE RETARDSAnd reminder this is the same pack of retards that killed Louis without the slightest proof that he was the one that had killed the prince.
>>693277247his boss form is literally a three-faced demon with no lower body that chews on people like in the divine comedy
>>693287862Paladin was very strong for me
>>693287949anon the retarded one is you here
>>693285716no, Wizard is outclassed by Commander and General mid game, who somehow have better spells than the designated spellcaster
>>693287862You're gonna want both eventually for Royal Knight
>>693288324Or you can plug those spells onto Wizard who has a higher MAG stat
>>693285841New atlus mascot
>>693288389Those small stat differences barely matter at all.Like legitimately, even 50 into a main stat isn't anything to write home about.What DOES matter is Synergies. The Wizard line has some very easy to do AoE Synergies early game when you can't otherwise AoE well yet, it's pretty useful for that.
>>693287889>>693288060I mean I don't know much about Lucifer outside of MegaTen, so those references (?) went over my dumb head. I just saw the first form of the final boss and it reminded me of how Lucifer was sometimes portrayed in Persona. Then I remembered Louise from Strange Journey and was convinced.
>>693288210NTA but child murderers deserve zero empathy or compassion If you disagree you're a woke retard.
got a buddy that said he was 'softlocked' at first zorba fight, is bro just game journalist bad or what
Louis did nothing wrong and the church is a nigger. It's really stupid that they literally just assume he's the one the cursed the prince with literally nothing to confirm it.
>>693288210The fact that they tried to emphasize with someone that feeds living children to a monster is beyond reason. This is the same pack of retards that once again killed Louis in cold blood for an assumed far lesser crime.
>>693288885Why do you retards who keep harping on this keep leaving out that the plan, literally the entire time was to bring her to be publicly executed? They also sympathise with Louis in the exact same way. Fucking moron.
>>693288885It was to get her to realize what she's doing with her "child".
>>693287862Level both and put the good skills from one on the other.
>>693288829That shit was pretty funny, and it served as a good "twist" for my dumb ass because I only stopped to think "Wait we have literally zero proof that this nigga did this" AFTER we impaled him
>>693289130I like that he was like "the fuck did I even do to you?" after you stab him
>>693289130You won, therefore you were correct and the facts are irrelevant. Louis would approve.
Ideal metaphor.
>>693274204It is, easilyI didn't play without a guide or anything and had like 10 days left over without anything to do, completed all conversations, maxed out virtues, all sidequests/dungeonsAnd I didn't do it perfectly either, just finish the main dungeons in two days at most, prioritize increasing virtues over useless shit like +5 MP to some party member, and do bondmates whenever possible so you know when their next level requires a dungeon or higher virtue level etc.
>>693288829Louis represents total freedom that's why the games heavy themes are on equity good and Louis bad It's the classic law vs chaos except you're actually doing Law work
>>693288993Nah they literally let her go and hoping she would show up on her own good will.
Damage boost skills stack like in other SMT games, right?
>>693289301Yeah exactly that, they also didn't really know she would actually be executed, that was just a realistic possibility.
>>693289367Yeah.
>>693289301She was literally under Bardon's custody
>>693289301>>693289409See>>693289461Also they absolutely knew she was going to be executed. They literally even say that the death penalty is the only thing she'd get.
>>693289461Nah they bet on her willingly placing herself under Bardon's custody. They just let her go with Heismay saying>you know I'm somewhat of a parent myself and we can trust her
Also the entire plan bet on Joanna admitting she was the child murderer. If she had just denied the whole thing in Brilehaven, their whole plan would have crashed.
>>693289858And? Her whole motivation was feeding her surrogate child human who you literally fucking kill. There was no reason to not believe her. The fuck is she going to do find another human baby monster thing?
>>693289858This is why they "let her go" in the first place, because the point was to get her to admit it at BrilehavenDelivering the dead Sanctoress's head by itself would not only be extremely shocking but also have way less of an effect, even if they had Bardon come forth and say "they're right you know".
>>693278551He actually does it twice lmao, both times towards the Ishkia.
>>693290013>psychotic deranged mother has to be a totally logical person, right?!?>>693290064Yeah they could've killed her and had Bardon testify for her crimes. That would have made far more sense than risking letting her have the podium and basically bet it all on her getting herself killed.This game has ASS WRITING
>>693290531>elda kid brings the head of a high ranking member of the church into the showthere'd unironically be no way of explaining that for the team
>>693290013Anon, I'm sure you can think of a reason not to believe her if you just try. There's a pretty obvious one.She might have lied to avoid punishment.
Man, I loved this game, and now I'm playing Red Dead for the first time and I love that game too.I'm experiencing a stretch of really great fucking games.
>>693290704She clearly has nothing left to live for and her entire actions since he child's death have been nothing but self destructive "fuck everything" kind of actions. Believing she'd act out of self preservation would be even more retarded. She was always prepared to die. Even if you didn't bring her to be executed she'd have probably killed herself anyway.
>>693290649They could have Bardon do all the talking and explaining. Also Hulkenberg and Strohl are both of nobility class and have clout. There were so many better options than just letting her go and hoping she would just kill herself for their sake.
>>693291180Bardon who clearly was a very eloquent and reliable man as illustrated by his early social linkIt doesn't matter what you say when the kneejerk reaction would be so massive it's lucky he doesn't get executed himself on the spot
>>693290847Sure, she's essentially just lost her child a second time, but expecting her to willingly throw her life away is still pretty risky. Especially considering how crazy she went after losing it the first time and what that led her to do.Your party rightfully treats trusting her as a pretty big gamble, since she could just deny it and everyone would have trusted her over you.
>>693291257Bro just admit letting a fucking psychotic child murderer walk away free and place all hope on her being a reasonable person is fucking retarded writing and something only a deluded Jap or Bioware employee would write.
>>693291180Bardon does not have enough authority that his word would justify killing a noble neither do Hulkenberg or Strohl. You keep saying "hur there are better options" and every one you've said is wrong. What they did was better. Now if you want the actual best option it would have been to just deny her request and forcefully take her but even then not allowing her that final request could pointlessly antagonize her into doing something untold. Generally when criminals are perfectly willing to cooporate you generally cut them some slack and give them a bit more benefit of the doubt.>>693291265Do you not think about how her human child could have just as easily killed her at any moment too? It was pure fucking luck she even survived being near it. It's not like it had any affection for her. Yes the party does treat it like a gamble and it is but the circumstances dictate and they really were lacking in options and allowing her some leeway was not that big of a deal as previously stated Bardon was there to make sure she doesn't just dip. This really isn't the plot hole you're making it out to be.
>>693291339It was a gamble they took, especially when other alternatives weren't nearly as good.
>>693291524Anon, I'm not the guy you were arguing with about whether it makes sense or not. My first response to you was this one: >>693290704I'm only pointing out that there was ample reason to be worried about her not holding up her end of her bargain, since she could have gotten away with it if she wanted to. As you've already agreed with, it was a (necessary) gamble.
>>693291524>>693291573The entire thing was a gamble from the start the second Strohl decided they'd twist the words of the task from literal monster to "piece of shit person doing horrible things."
>>693292148And I don't disagree with that. Nobody ever claimed it was an easy sure fire solution. They had to gamble on something and I don't see why people seem to always take issue with them empathising with a person under circumstances that are something worth empathizing with. Like her being a victim who was wronged and being a piece of shit who killed a lot of innocent people aren't mutually exclusive.>>693292185Pretty much everything the cast does at nearly every single point of the game is a gamble and believe you me if you've beaten the game you'd know that that one isn't even close to being the most stupid and risky. It gets way worse.
Prince was having his own fanfic about being a travelling hero. Now he fused and became his self insert OC. Metaphor ReFantazio.
>pic related is the best buff in the game by far, nothing else compares>it's a synthesis skill so you can't inherit it on another job>the job is weak to Strike, aka just double the push turns of 90% of the enemies in the game :)honestly a pretty good way to balance buffing
>>693293306Strike isn't used by very many enemies.By the time you get Warlord you can easily get armor/accessories that resist Strike to overwrite that Weakness as well.
holy shit why does junah's character art look so offputting? like a shoujo character or something it looks bizarre to me and doesn't mesh with everyone else's
>>693293548Her race looks like that.You aren't asking why the batpeople look like batpeople either.
>>693274186America is a nation built by immigrants
>>693293548She's a nidder
>>693293548Have you looked at the other Nidia?She looks VERY normal human compared to the rest of them.
>>693293670*white european immigrants
why is bird Cid not a party member
>>693293431>Strike isn't used by very many enemies.I think nearly every strong enemy I can remember has an aoe tail swipe or aoe wide swing attack that is strike>By the time you get Warlord you can easily get armor/accessories that resist Strike to overwrite that Weakness as well.I think this is also not true, you get a million piece of equipment with slash or pierce resist, but this is the only gear I found with strike resist and I stole it off of an enemy in the final dungeon (also it is heavy armor which you can't use with commander line). You do get a lot of strike evade though which you could gamble with
>>693294583I always thought "bally" was pronounced "baw-lee" and him saying it all the time made me feel silly.
>>693294708>>693293431All the dragons have a Strike AoE.You can buy an accessory with Resist Strike in Grand Trad after the events of the Opera House, but that means you won't be able to use the Synths Press Turn Cost -1 accessory.The Strike Weakness alone is nowhere near enough to balance Warlord though in my opinion, that class is ridiculously busted. It could be weak to every physical damage type and people would still use it.
Another trek
>>693267148Learn Frigid Fortress Tactic from Level 20 General. It's a heavy ice damage spell that inflicts weakness to ice, having multiple people with it results in insane amounts of damage and free press turns since everyone's doing that 50% extra damage from weakness hits, and it reapplies with each hit it does. An entire team with it and maybe one ice-weakness dance is the best team in the game as far as ease goes, you do not need to think once.Emerald Vortex from Soul Hacker is also great for random encounters.But yeah stay prince for sure.
>>693267148I just wiped shit with Radiance alone
Might be one of the most 7/10 jrpgs in existence.It's enjoyable.It's unironically admirable how they used lots of common fantasy tropes with no subversions.These two were pretty great.
>get tired of hp bloat regular enemies only solvable by chewing through large quantities of mp so I have nothing for bosses.>lower difficulty to easy>game is fun again.
>>693295069>Synths Press Turn Cost -1 accessory.I didn't use that either to be honest.My Warlord had Third Eye from Ninja and the accessory that ends enemies' turn when you dodge something. That's so fucking broken everyone but your big dick damage dealer should have it.
>>693295691There's no need to justify yourself bro.Just play whatever difficulty you want
>>693295887I just want a tryhard to get upset.

>>693295574sorry, only EtrianCHADS get the full experience from playing this game, everyone else just doesn't get it
>>693296829This is unironically true. I can't imagine having that entire segment completely lost on you.
>>693297209Probably the coolest moment I've experienced from a video game, and the whole time I was thinking "anyone who hasn't played through EO1 is going to hate this lmao these devs are crazy"
>>693271546Junah only acts like the thirsty Rise proxy for a couple hours where with Eupha she is very consistent with liking the MC so its weird they go all in with Junah
>>693274603democracy stops being a factor once the new King is selected
>>693295691the only dungeon i ran out of mp items on was the first one, i just abused the monk line's hp attacks and bought a fuck ton of healing items for the rest of the game, also made mp items with speed cooking. i had so many mp items stocked up i didn't even run out in the etrian dungeon, i one day'd them all too.
You can literally use mage to grind mp back out of respawns then continue the dungeon at your leisure. I have no idea how people are getting fucking filtered by mp. 4chan has absolutely dogshit “gamers” that are likely just normalfags that title has no meaning anymore
>>693298206Games with menu combat are never hard or interesting.
>>693298329Then why are you getting filtered by mp? I played this game from start to finish on hard and had 0 issues with mp because of mage, mp literally stopped being an issue the moment i did abandoned tomb because of the two crescent medals you get if you do it with a thief
>>693298206>grind mp from spawnsAt the cost of your soul
>>693298329F I L T E R E D actionslop enjoyer
>>693296189I mean, it's the last dungeon but the archetype levels carry over to NG+you still have to unlock them again
>>693298589>>693299270>Lol these games are piss easy, you're having trouble? >F-FILTERED The answer is always in your menu. You should never lose a single battle without being massively underleveled. Go watch anime.
>>693297389The one problem is that if you hug a corner the ear humans won't make contact with you due to their hitbox, so it's super cheeseable

The ending boss gave me some Sephiroth vibes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZOIelz11bgBadass concluding song
This game convinced me to go vote early.
People need to make up theit mind about who is louis. Griffith lucifer dio sephirot
>>693300725He's senator armstrong actually
>>693300725He's this bad boy.
>>693300828based
>>693300683who did you vote for and what state
Just arrived at the Mustari VillageThis whole "we gotta be buddies with Louis to save the prince" is starting to feel utterly retardedLike I don't see a valid reason for them to keep this charade up
>>693274603>One of your friends literally is one of the most accomplish guards of the country>Other friend is noble with some family connection>Other is a songstress who is the darling of the public>Other friend is an experienced veteran who demands respectIdk you tell me
>>693300943Kamala Harris and Virginia.
I like that Louis is never like angry with anything you do. He's super based and was a much more likable villain than I was expecting.
>>693301156>Kamala HarrisI see the message of the game flew right over your head
>>693301005do you think they'd have an easier time being an open enemy of a guy with an army, they can't exactly say "i quit"
>>693301225He's mad when Basilio calls him a hypocrite.
>>693301256Please explain to me how this game’s message supports Trump.
Un. Stinking. Believable.
>>693301225i liked him bursting out in laughter when you claim you're the prince, made him feel more NINGEN instead of a calculating str autist
>>693301336It proposes that you should support those born into the greatest position of privilege by way of your quest to reinforce the royal lineage over the self-made man, so you should follow suit and vote for Trump who was born into greater wealth than Harris.
>>693301336You stupid liberal fucking faggot tranime nigger retard
>>693301518the MC was born and instantly got semi-assassinated and turned into an OC that the world hated
>>693301518The game is peak adventurism You're a royal who goes around showing the other tribes they're ignorant, retarded and only your way is the correct way while smacking their gods on their asses
>>693301695And he still won in the end because the circumstances of his birth mattered more than any of that, so you should vote Trump.
>>693301336I don't have an answer to this, I only made that post in the hopes it would sow discord and uncertainty, which you will then overcome and find the answers for yourselves (this is the true message of the game)
>>693301764actually he won in the end because I grinded MAG and made friends
>>693301225Yeah he was way too chill on this gay ass party that kept killing him with no proof to back it up.
>>693301826He won because of your involvement and you got involved because of the king's royal magic which commoners would not have available to them, so he won because of the circumstances of his birth.
>>693271350Nah her character is just immensely boring. Shes the "isolated princess" trope with weirdo religion/culture and a third eye. Wow.
>>693301792dumb nyagger
>>693301764The whole point was that his birth didn’t matter. Unlike other monarchs, he chose to walk the path of the prince, making him fit to be a true king. Also, the illegitimate son of a weak and dead king, who’s perceived as the antichrist by 95% of people doesn’t exactly scream social status or privilege
If I could marry Eupha I would have 24/7 babymaking mating press sex and I would help her raise our three eyes babies and have a happy family
>>693277061>The most popular candidate was a guy who murdered his way to the throneThats what it should be though
>>693301261Instead they are fetching his mcguffin to make him more dangerous and a bigger problemThey had plenty of opportunities already to just dip out without saying anything
>>693302124she's so cute it's almost unfair
>>693301256i honestly don’t see how you could be a trump supporter and enjoy this game without ignoring literally everything the game is trying to tell you
>>693287862Dark knight is ass
>>693302124same but with Gallica instead, I mean he already sleeps with her on the same bed
>>693293826Jésus...
>>693302171you're one of the top candidates at that point, how are you gonna silently dip out and still get close to louis
>>693300725Sephiroth is just a mommas boy, so not him. Dio only cares about himself, louis genuinely wants to better the world and doesnt give a shit about his well being and also doesnt fear death. Griffith comes closest and lucifer well, obviously.
>>693302450They don't need to get close to him anymore. They already got what they needed him for in the first placeThe whole curse plot point seemed farfetched from the start with a whole bunch of baseless assumptions (Caster's identity, Louis conveniently having a formula around, etc)
>>693300725He is nothing like DIO beyond being blonde and villainous.
>>693261149Smug fairy
>>693301296>>693301225Isn't he also mad when your party claimed that Louis gave up on the world and that he already lost his hope long ago?
>>693302881>baseless assumptionsto be fair Forden did intentionally pin it on Louis and Louis straight up admitting to regicide publically did not do anything to shake those rumorswhat is weird is that you can ask him if he killed the Prince and King and he'll just say he killed the King and ignore that you asked about the Prince, but no one notices it

How can you die during the Virga Island arc when you are in the top 20 ranking?The King's Magic should make you invincible while you save Eupha.
>>693261149Anything to focus on as preperation before fighting Louis in October?
>>693303875It doesn't protect you from dying to monsters
>>693303927Nothing in particular comes to mind.If you just do what seems logical to you - S. Links, bounties, etc - you're probably golden. Maybe keep an extra save handy in case you somehow screw up royally, but I don't think it'll be necessary.
>>693261283>lol it needs more silly quirky moments xD!Fuck off you useless millenial disney adult cringelord
>>693302305I hate leftist freaks like you. You can’t just let media be apolitical. This is literally just a story of a band of heroes killing the big bad and you try to make it about modern day politics. You have a brain disease. Consider suicide quickly.
>>693303875During the entire Virga island arc you only fight monsters, when you get the opera house later on the enemies deliberately ignore the MC due to the magic.
its really clever how they balance out getting infinite mp items by making it so you have to press the button many, many times to get all the rockbeans necessary
>>693278392>Elda the nipponsI thought they were mostly an amalgam of muslim races with the whole religious angle
>>693305234The game has infinite mp built in from the start, just make the protagonist a mage
>>693305487yeah man I know, but Id rather cook the food that restores 100 to the entire party than kill fodder for 1mp each
>>693305234and dreammoth spawns for the good all party MP dish
>>693306206Can't you buy the bugs from the grand trad herb store at some point
>>693306516Yes, when you return after the Opera House fiasco, you can just buy as many of 'em as you want.
>>693306516aw fuck don't do this to me
>>693261283The game had just the right amount of this I think. The party acts like kids just enough that you can buy hulkenberg being depressed and living on her own for 10 years for instance
>>693285841they're created by anxiety, and teeth falling out is like the OG anxiety nightmare
>>693261149The entire Opera section was a lot of fun, the assassination scene was pretty greathttps://youtu.be/xIfGMdeo8D8
>>693305234>>693305487>>693305842I got tired of this after 10minutes, so I just cheat engined MP items.I dont mind games playing the resource management thing but when the goto strategy is a mindnumbing autistic grind I just couldnt do it.
>>693307906>resource management thing but when the goto strategy is a mindnumbing autistic grind I just couldnt do it.The real strategy is to not grind dungeons infinitely, just go through them, get to the boss, beat him, leave. Maybe go scrape for treasure but I don't really think they intended for players to keep respawning high-level monsters to farm exp
>>693307906you know you can go back to town and heal
Are either of the accessories in the Gloamhall shop worth it? (Praetorian Cloth and Phantasmal Doll). They seem fairly niche.
>>693261149>denuvoI shan't
>>693307906>should I do the big dungeon in 2-3 sessions?>no, I'll do it in one sitting despite having a ton of time just because
>>693308649Anon, Atlus fucked up again and the game's been pirateable for almost a week now.
>>693308783to be fair, you don't know how much time you'll have at the end if you do dungeons in more than one session.I ended up with spare time to do the arena but i had no idea how strict this game expected you to be with time management
>>693308959Even persona games give you a week or so of free time by the end if you just rush the dungeons.
>>693308865Is the game even good? Can the sex goddess fairy carry the game by herself?
>>693309054I've only just finished the first major dungeon, I'm enjoying it enough so far at least. But I also pirated it so it's easy for me to say it's worth the price.
>MC ends up with the ugliest girl of the castHow is this fair?
>>693309571He's not with Junah
>>693309632>MC ends up with the second ugliest girl of the cast
>>693309571>the ugliest girl of the castHe ends up banging Joanna?
>>693309571Didnt know your mother belonged to the cast
>>693307725I hated it, purely because if you cut out the recall function of the lance it stops any of the plot bullshit that happens immediately after. It felt like they went through massive hoops to have a "a HA!" moment that just added so much fuel to the potential fire that immediately they get rid of the rule about protecting candidates anyways so they don't need to worry about the problems the lance brought
>>693309571But Gallica is the cutest?
>>693309571He didn't end with the shitskin Eupha
Holding hands with Eupha!
>>693290531>This game has ASS WRITINGThis is my conclusion about 5 hours into the game. It bothered me so much how everyone, just naively followed Grius without much evidence. Not one bothered to ask, was Grius right in his assumption. Their entire journey begun based on a flimsy, baseless accusation. That they themselves never bothered to correct.
>>693291339I kinda emphatized with her ngl, I mean her child was literally killed because the entire town believed in some retarded superstition. Where was her justice for all those years. Even her fucking family was unironically happy that her son was fucking killed. The entire town needed to be nuked off the map to be honest.
How is Joanna the biggest filter in the game?
>>693313570Players should forget the eyes and focus entirely on the baby.
>>693313570she's not
>>693314438Is that? I've seen more people complain about the Ice Dragon. Of the Trial dragons I found this one easy anyway, the one that does 9999 damage was more of a challenge.
>>693314529For that one, just make sure that whoever goes first on the turn it uses the charm can clear the debuff from the party, then set up a magic barrier. Once you know how the pattern goes, you just gotta keep track of the turns and you're golden.
>>693314903That's what I did, but that was still more of a challenge and required more preparation than the one that reflects all damage. You just need to apply weaknesses with Dancer, which I was already doing against most enemies anyway.
>>693261149is Louis the best Hashino villain?his September 10-12 part was pretty kino
How do I get my PS4 controller to work with the game?
>>693316568it literally just works, even with the pirate version
I fucking hate soul scream. What is the best tactic to kill last phase of Louis? Reflect and dodge?
>>693316907Just pay him back with a Hero's Cry.
>>693316907Yes, just cheese with Royal Knight and Royal Thief, but sometimes you're just gonna get fucked by RNG and no counter or dodge will happen. I'm not a fan of the endgame on higher difficulties
>>693315621He is good, and it goes a long way that he has a consistent sense of presence, though that is done in such a way where I think you fight him too many times as a result, but I still think I prefer Adachi. There's a lot of good things about Louis, but just on a level of entertainment I don't think he matches Adachi. He doesn't have the crazy-face portraits, he doesn't have the shamelessly base motivation, when you see him acting evil it doesn't have the entertainment value of Adachi immediately jumping to Mayumi being a whore when she turns down his advances and so on. Louis is a more competently done villain in many ways, but there are a couple of points about him that feel a bit lacking. His motivations aren't very interesting, which is a shame because I feel like he could have had a more interesting motivation if they leaned more on him being interested in the utopia of the novel but they lean more into what happened at the Eldan sanctum which I think was not as interesting, you fight him too many times and he's too easy and despite him having a good sense of presence, he does just end up being a might makes right kind of villain that you've probably seen many times before, which is a bit disappointing. I still think he's a very good villain in a lot of ways, but I think I prefer Adachi and Maruki, though the latter isn't really a Hashino villain.

I wish Strohl was the MC instead of this faggot twink with a Fairy mouthpiece.

>>693295732Heismay with Royal Thief dodges everything and is free to wear another accessory
>>693312964Assuming Louis was behind the curse was logical. There were exactly two people in the kingdom who met the description of the caster and any doubt that it might not be Louis went out the window when he blatantly murdered the king.
>>693320132Grius was positive it was Louis because he knew Louis alreadyGrius being an idiot causing so much of the plot to happen is just as stupid as he is
>>693320291>characters being wrong about something is bad writtinggo to sleep Susie, you are embarrassing yourself
Assassination plot was stupid because it is the world with magic and no one knew what kind of magic Louis was wielding, surely it was smart to rush at him with just a sword.
>>693320752The assassination arc was good and only crybabies disagree.

>>693274841>...Who are you again?
>>693274603It's outright stated multiple times that the reason the previous king couldn't do anything is because he had no one in his court he could actually trust. Of course your character would avoid making that same mistake.

This game can be so cringe sometimes.
>>693274603That's how it works IRL as well. I've yet seen a democratically elected leader who'd pick their cabinet members solely on merit. It's almost always members of their party, which are basically their friends.

>>693325205Which studio is always responsible for these shitty anime cutscenes in JRPGs? Feels like they always hire the same studdio considering how consistently shit they are.
>>693323772>The writing is so childishAh yes, better trash writing like Sephiroth talking about darkness and light or the typical Falcom slop. Or even better the Xeno cringe shit with giant robot maids and one eyed monster. Certainly they are less juvenile than political drama.
>>693325925Don't give a shit about either of those faggot games.
I'd crush these niggas like you wouldnt believe
>>693325925Huh? KH is consistently criticized for its writing. Why can't you Personababs accept that your games have flaws in its writing? Also, considering how much the story tried to make you think its this serious, political drama, having such a flimsy, childish writing, just made it worse.
The early anime cutscene where the king's face first shows up and the election starts was so janky I could barely process what was happening.
>>693326134Their AGI is too high you wouldn't be able to hit them

>>693326448Reviews always praise anime cutscenes in vidya but to be honest I'm over them. I feel like cell shading has grown to a point where it can look as good as most anime except it can run 60 fps. But then a drawn cutscene starts and it's a fucking 5 fps slideshow
>>693327398Shartlus cant do animation well. I dont like their anime cutscenes very much. Don't look fluid and the characters look kinda off. I preferred the in-game cutscenes.
>>693274603Anon, the most popular candidate was a mass-murdering monster who planned to turn everyone into eldritch horrors out of pure seething spite who STILL has supporters in the epilogue despite this. They're lucky that Will is just putting his friends (who were the only ones to support him for being Elda) in key positions instead of putting them all to death.
So, I'm going to ask it.What the actual fuck was with Alonzo's story?

The anime cutscenes are nothing to write home about but the one where the gauntlet runner takes flight for the first time is probably my favorite moments ever in a jrpg now and cemented Neuras as my favorite character in the game.
>>693328640That's right. No romance.
So Heismay can be racist towards Paripus for killing his son......but when I'm racist towards black people ooooohhhhh everyone just throws a fit!
>>693328864is Heismay's disdain for bugs a racist joke against the china men?
>>693326952And? Does that detract from the fact that the writing in Metaphor is sloppy? They're both slop that, for some weird reason gets a pass from weebs and 10/10s too. "Well written" my arse. Some of the "debates" are fucking laughable too. This is suppose to be a serious political drama, why is this faggot even in contention of being a king when his policy is about beauty and nothing else.

Gotta be honest, this game made me a bit less of a racist. Still hate jews and gypsies, but the rest are fine.
>>693329670I think literally everyone hates gypsies.
>>693328864holy fuck Heismay is painful to look at, what were they thinking

>>693329529>i-it's p-parody!>almost every candidate is hilariously racist, evil or stupid and incompetent except the MCI haven't even mention the candidate that wants to give everyone a gaunlet runner. Like nigga, are you serious, where to even park that shit? The really only other candidate that is functional is Louis. But then the story wants to paint him as this evil overlord and wants us to assasinate him based on the word of an old knight with little to no evidence.
>>693330270mascot characters have this habit of making people hate them because they either look too stupid or act too stupid. i've never really been bothered by them for one reason or another. but this bat fuck evokes such fucking revulsion in me. that image you just posted? i felt some sort of primal instict kick in. like caveman style "me see bad me fucking grab a rock and bash bad thing's head in in panicked frenzy until completely liquid." revulsion. like when looking in that picture i instinctually starting making my hands move into like a grip-like strangle motion before i caught myself. like whatever the fuck the villain in this game is planning if it means ending this ugly some of a bitch, i'm all for it. no wonder people are bigots in this game, or at least from what i can tell. because motherfuckers like heismay are allowed to exist. hashino if i knew you personally i'd make a B-line right to you and slap the non-existent taste out of your mouth for thinking this ugly fuck is okay. or was it soejima? garcon soejima i'm about to complain to the manager because you just served me some kind of personalized brain poison i didn't know even existed. like damn, i'm not one to deny trying a game out just because of one thing but the idea that i know i'm gonna having to be looking at this dude for probably 90% of the game fills me with an emotion i can't quite pin down but it's a mix of disgust, hatred, and just "get the guy away from me". GODDAMN this dude UGLY.
>>693330691go to sleep Zorba
>>693299265It literally takes 10 minutes
Which job should I prioritize? Is there a way to re-spec my stats? I focused a bit too much on MAG, but since you guys say magic is a bit shit in this game, I wanna change my focus to something else. But which?
>>693308397The Phantasmal Doll is useful for killing the elementals before they can escape if you don't want to swap everyone's classes around
>>693261149Is this Edelgard but twink? Louis transforms into Hegemony freak.
>>693278242>the IRA are elvesCromwell did nothing wrong
>>693298329Then go watch a let's play you fucking retard. You get called out on sucking at the easiest game in the entire Atlas sphere and your response is "actually the game just sucks that's why I'm bad."
>>693300828you could have chosen a pic where he has Louis' hair but yes he is literally just Reinhardt
>>693331291Its actually better to raise magic and phys equally as one isn’t better than the other and the protagonists special archetype is more supportive than offensive.
>>693331291you can hit the damage cap with 52 strength anon, endgame phys vs magic build doesn't really matter just use what you find fun unironically
>>693331291You should just go all in on STR or MAG there's no reason to dip into anything else except MAYBE manipulating your turn order with agility. The guy saying split is the best is trolling you or he has no clue how to play turn based rpgs.Honestly I'd just stick to MAG because STR is so braindead. It's always going to be weaker than STR (that's normal atlas balancing) but it's better than just buff buff buff... nuke which is STR endgame. Your MP economy will be improved once you unlock wizard. Shield blessing or whatever it is called regens 10 a turn as long as you're buffed, which you can grab gear that autobuffs you at the start of the fight. There's an ogre in one of those giant towers, that drops gloves that can be purified into auto-tarukaja guaranteeing at least 10mp a turn. Masked Dancer unlocks another source of regen for single archetype parties. Faker roguery can be spread to everyone for boss fights to extend the turn as long as possible, so with guaranteed weaknesses exploiting, that's already 7 turns of damage and then whatever faker's gives you (since you can reroll). Once you unlock tier 7 commander, your escape chance is guaranteed so that becomes an easy way to farm MP.Work towards faker's roguery, frigid fortress tactics, shield blessing on all your mages. Farm the tarukaja gloves and that pretty much solves the game without needing to "optimize.">>693308397The one that lets you go twice is best in slot for the MC until you get the final casino bonuses on a strength build. Your MC should be minmaxed because the other stats barely do anything like I saw +30 points of endurance only dropping damage by 6 so you want him to hit more and the way the party is setup, you almost always have at least one person whose stats fucking suck at damage (heims, hulk).

The baby
>>693261283For me it's this one.>I can fix herAnd then the rabbit bat tries to justify her feelings after she massacred many many children. wtf atlus?
>>693336006it's to get her to understand
>Operation: Get behind the darkies.>>693274603That's literally democracy.Or any form of -cracy really, though democracy does it through elections.>monarchy>communism>autocracy>theocracy>technocracy>stacy('s mum)
>>693285830I also thought Brig was best jewess.Even if they made her relationship moments real fucking boring.Merchant type is completely broken. Makes the game so easy I stopped using it.
>>693336006>>693336102Also if you think on Heismay's life until that point, I doubt he would've given too many fucks about what's right or wrong in that situation. I bet he would've done the same before, were it possible to bring his son back. That's why he sympathizes with her (and in general losing one's child is one of the worst things that can happen to someone)

>>693300725Satan from Devilman x Lucifer x Griffith x Char x >>693300828 x Niccolò Machiavelli x Caesar
>>693317334I think what I like about Louis is that he's not an Adachi or an Akechi, but more of a blitzkrieg of Machiavelli while still being completely evil somehow. Ironically something near Hitler or Caesar.
As soon as I saw this line I knew exactly where things were going.>>693336102It comes off as ... retarded.
>>693337167Heismay's still not even fully cleared at this point, so there's no knowing if he'll head back to living as a hermit in a caveThere's no motivation for him to act as some moral hero of justice anyway
Gallica(if I caught her)
>>693337280I hope you never will.
>>693336006The really try to make you feel bad about a child murderer.
>>693336754Why does Louis surround himself with nothing but adrogynously gothic and evil femboys? Kinda strange.Zorba is sexo.
>>693337443Not enough.I'm saying it almost sounded like they wanted you to sympathise (and only sympathise) with her for a while there. When really, she just did to many what the state essentially did to her and her child. She's a monster.Almost as bad as anon.
>>693285210>Is Mage/Wizard not good in the game?Built my MC pure magic, and he's been the main damage of the party for most of the game so far.I think the biggest damage boost I got so far was cleaning out the abandoned tomb and purifying the sage's staff.
>Lion in Mt Vulkano was giving 675 A-EXP normal squad kill, 1015 A-EXP unscathed (+Foul Weather + AEXP ring)>Level up, it turns green>Overworld kill is 333 AEXP>Squad kill is 475 AEXPHaven't tried doing unscathed yet but ow, the DR is real.

Alright, serious question. I waited a while to really ask, because I really mean it. Is the game woke garbage or not? Does it try and push some gay globohomo agenda, or is it just shitposting? Is it worth getting? I like the Persona games, they're a guilty pleasure of mine.
>>693337769They literally make this obvious to you in the game many many times though. Did you not read what characters say to you about this?I also dislike this mechanic though. Though if you play Merchant this isn't a problem for you. You can just pay to win.Unlike real life where this gets you trapped in blackmail rings and debt/liquidity spirals.I bet this won't be addressed in the game... sigh.Sega wouldn't allow discussion of such things. amirite?
>>693337848I mean for most of the game you are just the Prince's OC running around the county. It's only for the final stretch that the MC becomes the returning Prince.
>>693337928It initially would seem it, but it's clearly foreshadowed to be something a long the lines of challenging both agendas. You see people push both sides and they're just causing massacres. Just like real life:>pol pot>stalin>hitler>globohomo pharma pushing technocracy aka zionistsAll killed millions for their blind goals.It's mostly about this though:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uYWYWPc9HUi.e. the hanged man.But what I like is that Louis knows this.
>>693338417Thank you very much for your sincere answer, that doesn't sound as cringe as I thought it would be. I might give it a shot.
>>693337897still reduced from 675 to 475 aexp for a normal kill, and it's a bit painful without ambush chopping off 80% of their health. >>693338052Misquote? When do the characters talking about autistic AEXP farming?>>693337928Everyone is homo. It does have the Persona calendar mechanic and S-Links but also a lot of elements taken from other Atlus games, including Etrian Odyssey.
>>693337443They try to toe the line too hard between "The characters are heroes and don't take pleasure in the death of anyone who genuinely wants to do good." and "This bitch fucked up royally and death is the only justified consequence of her actions."They get so worried about the protags coming off as cold that they don't even try to show the subtle nuance in emotion of seeing a serial killer publicly executed despite knowing that she sincerely regretted her actions and would never do it again if she had the chance.Instead, they just react like they watched an innocent be put to the sword.It was barely a step below their reaction to Grius getting a tracheostomy.
>>693338220I haven't finished but I'm hoping the MC/prince is the one behind all of this shit and it's a form of self test.Like he realises he killed his father or something to prove a point.That would be KINO.Oh and his friends obviously betray such a mad king, who now just became Louis but worse.It's not that is it... sigh. FFS atlus...
>>693337778This bitch had to be a cut character or something.Is there a special game over for losing to her?
>>693338527I haven't finished it yet.If the ending is woke and positive, I might get mad.I feel like it might be, because most other SMT games are very very negative on this other than maybe Persona 4. Even P5 had a moment of realisation when they realised they were potentially becoming villains (though it never went fully down that path).
>>693338752They always knew she was going to get executed, it's just the suddenness of it (plus that it turned into a part of their trophy hunting show, when it could've been handled elsewhere in private instead)
>>693338752>>693339045They should have been mad despite her personal circumstances.Or at least so unsettled and disturbed that they couldn't move or something.Like I'd be in a state of shell shock. To see the horror develop to such a point from such a dumb trivial thing.At that point you're seeing monsters, but then also the people that failed to prevent the monster from manifesting. It's like watching a real genocide unfold.Or covid (what's the diff?). Think more along the lines of "The Horror, The Horror" here. That's where we're at with her. It's beyond a point of stoic reaction and that's why I found the Bunny/Bat's monologue so fucking grossly out of place. It just doesn't feel right. Even in that character's circs, which are NOTHING like that woman's. He didn't lose himself and then kill a village of children. He too should be utterly horrified, but instead he just monologues and plays the hero. It's almost surreal how bad and out of place that part is. You've just witnessed Kronus murder his sons in madness.
The game is great, until after the sanctum, then it's fine. A lot of archetypes are shit.
>>693339749All of them are shit after you discover merchants and crits.
how do the Human designs compare to other SMT/Persona demon designs? Seemed super creative to me
when did you figure out that More was your dad ? Once I saw the dude in the "Unity" mural in the Sanctum everything started to click
>>693339909They come across as SMT in uncanny valley.
>>693304464the issue is that none of the cast feels like friends, everyone just kind of comes off as strangers which makes it hard to give a shit about the cast as a whole >b-but thats the point cause muh adults!!shut up.
>>693340054Ah fuck.Why did I come to this thread?I thought it was going to be Louis potentially because he doesn't seem that shocked of the protag when you meet him after you get your runner, like he was hiding what he knows about the protag.
>>693340198They're just fuckers on a mission for a few months. Post-timeskip it's more "friendly" as it should
Academia's track is severely underrated
>>693340321>reading spoiler textc'mon anon, you had to expect this>he doesn't seem that shocked of the protag when you meet him after you get your runnerthe reason he's not shocked is because Zorba survived your encounter with him at the grand cathedral and informed Louis of your crew beforehand. He knew you were all "traitors" from the beginning, he was just intrigued how you planned to undermine him
>>693337928You know that early P5 road trip concept that was sorta used for Strikers? It's in this game, kinda.
What surprises me is that I finally like a main girl in an SMT/Persona game.And I thought I'd hate her, but she grows and grows on me more and more. I think she outdoes Brig, Zorba and Louis somehow now.And this is from a guy who HATES Anne/Makoto and Yukiko/Chie.
>>693340462I had contemplated that one already, because Zorba clearly wouldn't die from that. It hadn't connected that he'd informed Louis though... don't know why that didn't click till now.
>>693340478And yet there's no opportunity to ruin the party by romancing a specific person and rejecting another's advance...Wtf atlus, that would have been fun.
>>693340783Race mixing is a step too far for your party.
I want to nibble her ears like a puppy on a child's hand.
>>693341179Wasn't it implied that blanda-up-ing would cause literal disaster because of magla shit?I mean, that's not as bad as real life where heterosis causes genetic defects like it did with my heart valves.
>Typoon's golden soldier ultholy based
>>693341234sucking on hulkenberg's earear blowjobYUM
>>693341447Reminder that Hulk-Hoganberg's 2nd most erogenous zone is her ears, her 1st most being her pooper.Because elves.
>look for Hulky>she's always drinking and eating at a barShe's gonna get fat.
>>693341234I can't stop looking at her ass everytime she bends down in the rest/save room.
>>693341972Her butt would Hulk my -berg something fierce.
Is there any on-model fan art of any characters in this game?
I don't like the dog plot, but this is amusing.
>>693330706No one gave this guy any (you)s?
>>693342335Yeah but it's not lewd.
>>693330706
>>693342402Why would I (you) plebbit copypasta?Then again, I am in a fatlus thread and tolerate both their bullshit DRM shit and gookmoots 900 sec timer to please the sponsors.
>>693342559he's so hotand his lips are really cute
>>693342628>and yet he will get no art
>>693342559Hate this piece a shit character
>>693342732Hate(fuck) this piece of shit character.His dumb obedience makes it somehow lewder.ywn have a harem of obedient femboys at your command.
>>693316689it's over... it doesn't work for me
I'm at Brilehaven and I'm trying to do the deeds mission, but I can't find the tower. Gallica tells me that the informant might have the info, but he isn't selling anything related to the tower.
>>693345860There are other quest giver gave you that quest
Prince Will OC
>>693346171Found him, thanks.
>>693340480This is probably my favorite cast out of any SMT-type game. I think it beats DDS1 for me. The summoner is boring and they really were lazy not making the third eye blink on their character model. The english voice acting is really good too.>693337928Help I'm being genocided
Do i really only have 10 days to finish all my social links and side quests before the final battle?
>>693261149Did she do it better?
So does this game actually push "all cultures are equal" shit or it just nomral "racism is bad"?
>>693275030pretty
>>693348580No, it talks specifically how some cultures will always dominate due to sheer numbers or wealth or influence.
>>693340480Well for one she's an adult and a veteran soldier
>>693349015I'm more asking about how all cultures are morally equal
>>693349417Lol no. The islanders and eugiefs being backwards retards is a major plot point
Checkmate king. Only the prince is my true rivalry.
>>693349554And do they actually say they're like this because of their culture? because for example leftist hate almost everything about islamic culture but will never actually say that it's inferior or bad they will just say retarded shit like>it's the west fault>they don't know any better>it's actually good (but will never go live there)
>>693348346absolutely not. who the fuck is that ugly mongrel with that weird ass clothing
>>693261149Why did you post a picture of Soma Cruz from Castlevania Aria of Sorrow?
>>693350018wdym, that's clearly a picture of Reinhardt from Legend of the Galactic Heroes
>>693261149was there really no way to fix him?
This game has some really fun JRPG party reunions when it comes ot the Japanese voice cast. Louis is voiced by Han Joongi from Yakuza 7, and Heysmay is voiced by Adachi from the same game. Junah is voiced by FFXIV's Krile and Louis is (also) Thancred. I'm actually really glad they got Yoshino Nanjo to voice Junah, she gets too few roles and she's actually a really good singer, having been a vocalist for bands aside from a voice actress, really good fit for the role. Another fun reunion is Hulkenberg and Strohl being voiced by Yor and her brother from Spy x Family.
>>693348217Sep 26.No worries you still have 30 days left until you put an end to the kingdom madness.
>>693350521>jap voicesI would give that a try, but then I wouldn't be able to hear>OHHHHHH POWER OF KINGSand that isn't a tradeoff I'm willing to make.
>>693350358unironically if he had even one asshole to share the Utopia book with he'd probably have been fine. MC sharing the story with everyone from all those different backstories gives him a lot of different points of view. All Louis had was the book interpreted by his sorrow and anger.
>>693282345Gravity is fucked up there mostly in relation to water. Do you not see the giant floating balls of water or see what happened to the big airship?
>>693351093its kinda fucked up how he made the only elda living in public society seem like a human monstrosity even though he himself is one, fucking hypocrite.
>>693349941Yeah, it also has to do their physiology but both those tribes are generally isolated from the cities and the game does go into why their cultures don't mesh with that of the cities.
So I'm curious about regicide, on paper it looks barely harder than hard mode except you can't rewind turns so it means there's bigger chance of enemies going on a weak/crit spree and obliterating your ass.BUT, otherwise I assume Regicide is piss easy and you will be in overworld combat for 95% of it until late game?
>>693352117I just got up to the dead baby dungeon, it's much easier because you have access to your gear from your previous playthroughs but you can still get one shot/close to death if your weakness is hit.I did attempt to go through it using shittier gear at the start but everytime you change your archetype it auto equips your BIS and I couldn't be assed you manage my equipment every time.
>>693352275are bosses levels adjusted? Don't you get massive def/atk bonuses against lower level bosses?
>>693352448Bosses hit slightly harder and weakness/critical damage is tripled on you only.
