why does strength stat exist when you can just use magic
what else should i add to the OP?
ugliest game of the year for sure

What order did you do things in Martira? I've got a save I can load on 06/29 and I'm trying out all the different possible routes. So far the mimic dungeon seems too hard for me (my party is level 18), gonna try the goblin bounty instead.

>>498282764Vote for Pedro
>>498282817What ups the horror factor in particular is because it takes what people would normally consider cute and a figure to be protected and twists it into something so wrong and grotesque. It's very design has something in common with what makes Silent Hill so horrifying. Adding something alien and monstrous into something we would be familiar with ups the scare factorNot helping matters is when by this point you already know that it has eaten children offscreen with a toothy jaw, you have seen it eat somebody offscreen and you also see it eat somebody right in front of the party even if its just in shadow
Is this true?
>>498282945Gallica's feet
>>498283625sexo
>>498283625Me on the right
>>498283665A tooth is fine too.
Dunno how I feel about about the "press L to restart the fight" button.On the one hand, it encourages tedious gameplay like constantly restarting a fight until you succeed on a crit or steal.On the other hand, when a single miss or crit can completely fuck you over, it's nice that you can quickly take a mulligan.On the third hand, why are we designing the game where a single miss can ruin a fight?On the fourth hand, I'm having fun so I guess they're doing something right.
I think I've made a mistake
>>498283643this desu
>20th most popular person in the entire country >Heroes' Souls: Actually you're still a colossal faggot Their standards are way too high. Philemon is like the head of pre-Musk twitter in comparison
>>498283858It's good. Sometimes a fight goes so poorly that you end up having to wait for them to finish you off. Reset just speeds up that process. Resetting for rng is cringe though. Take your failed steal attempts like a man.
>>498283858It's weird, I'm trying to minimize my use of it but what else are you going to do when the enemy crits and wipes out half your squad on the first turn?
persona combat with a bunch of redundant bells and whistles added
In happy to hear that the fourth dungeon is supposedly the filter because I'm about to do it without having done any of the side shit surely this will go fine
>>498283858Not everyone is going to autistically minmax their first turn. I'm going to, but not everyone is autistic, or playing on hard.
so this is gonna unlock a final FINAL archetype in each lineage way later in the game right?
>>498284239Try harder /v/ermin
>>498283858It lets you learn what an enemy is weak to without just wasting a bunch of MP, so I like it.
>>498284321is what it is you even summon personas and allocate stats as you would in that game lul
>>498284239It's more SMT combat than it is Persona but of course a secondary has never actually played a mainline SMT game.
I'm I doomed bros...? All the cathedral stuff and that side dungeon were a bit challanging on hard but I had a good time.
ARCHETYPE SEX IMPREGNATION
>>498283858It's there to mitigate rng probably.
I got all my virtues to 2 but I wonder if theres any more virtue gates in ch 2. I ended up preemptively leveling Eloquence and Courage to 2 but is there anything else?
>>498284652>Am I*
>>498284652you're going to get fucked in the ass during puzzle segments where you have to fight solo
Heads up: When you're on the boat headed to the Island after getting your 5th party member you have a choice to spend time with any member of the gauntlet runner crew. If you press the "talk to Gallica" button you can choose her!
>>498284867Why would I do that...?
>>498284916She's my wife
>>498283858im not gonna restart a fight unless a miss or an enemy crit happens on turn 1 desu but thats just me i guesshonestly the people complaining about this mechanic should be me sore complaining how often the game autosaves, literally any time you pick up an item or open the chest you get a free checkpoint
>>498284943I know she's my wife, but who is yours?
Is there a mod to remove Gallica speaking in battles ? The English VA cast is pretty good but just her screaming all the time in battles made me switch to JP.
>>498285146Gallica
What are the most useless archetypes? If there is one
This must be the first Atlus game I played that the speaking voice in animated cutscenes isn't 90% quieter than everywhere else.
>>498285042That's good. Losing 3 hours of progress in Cockturne because lollmao back attack crit your MC almost made me drop that game.
>>498283295>Why is Eloquence so hard to raise?The dub lisp is canon.
>>498284867Because your alternative options are not nearly as cute as pocket wife.
>>498285221I solely play JP because of the battle and dungeon callouts becoming super fucking obnoxious, reminds me of playing Sand Land with the crew callin out every time you picked up an item which was every other second
>>498283858>why are we designing the game where a single miss can ruin a fightBecause it's based and it fits the story and themes way too well which is also why you can be 5 levels above something but still lose half your HP in one hit in action modeIt's a natural step forward from P5 where instead of it being about fighting something external that warps the internal, you're fighting something internal that you can't get rid of no matter what
>>498284867Wtf I didn't know that. I talked to the older dog brother.....
Goddammit, Maria's social link got me teary eyed.
what are you using the archetype exp items for?
>>498284867But does she give me a +5 to all stats accessory like Chadsilio?
>>498285221All the English VAs are garbage.
>>498285567Yup, the items they give all provide the same stats.
>everybody awakening to their new notpersona inner power>this isn't a persona game btw
I need to impregnate Maria
>>498285650Ok so that means pick a different one every playthrough Thanks anon
>>498285619I like them so far except MC and Gallica. MC barely speaks so it's not really an issue, but Gallica has 90% of the lines spoken when taking battles into account
>>498285695>Has it own "blue room">Has awakeningThis is just medival persona and I am only in the first few hours.
>>498285619this, I couldnt play without how cute gallica sounds in JP or how much of a chad Heismay is
>>498285539Saving them for Metaphor 2.
This might be a dumb question, but which is stronger, severe damage or extreme? So far i know that light<medium<heavy
>>498285828You try to make the obvious comparisons that are literally everywhere about how Metaphor didn't separate itself at all from Persona and people got nuts
>>498286086Dont bother relying on that shit. You'll need a datamine to figure out actual move dmg.

Is Strohl on Commander any good? I was thinking of having the Thief guy pick up levels in Faker or Gunner meanwhile to round up his skillset
>>498286318everyone's well rounded enough you can put them on anything
>following a guide so I can just max followers then do what ever >has you fighting this guy when I’m level 30What the fuck was the person making this guide thinking?
>>498286318Oh yeah, he's great with it because it uses STR but gives him a bunch of elemental attack types.
>>498286318Strohl commander carried me through the second city, and good idea to max it to get the next archetype too for a later quest
>>498284652Why would you go that hard into luck? Like unless you’re in NG+ you don’t do that shit
XVI won
>>498286642>t. MAG sissy
>>498286642If you can't win with meme builds the game is poorly designed
huge gigacuckold here. need recommendations
>>498286452Is it the guide that also tells you to play on storyteller difficulty?
>>498286452I'm way past fighting this thing and I'm not even level 30 yet
How do I know what skills scale with what stats? Or is this like P5 or whatever and they don't scale at all? Is gunner a magic or physical class? Do classes have different stat growths?So much of this shit isn't explained
Where can I check what the fuck hex or malice or whatever the fuck else does?
>>498286783Junah is your girl.
>>498286452I thought the same thing. Your best bet is to debuff the hell out of his accuracy with items so when Heismay (who you can increase evasion for with his gear or buffs) dodges it eats his attacks. Then debuff his defense multiple stages too and wail on him with your best attacks.
>>498286834Oh fuck it is recommended you to play on storyteller, no fucking wonder they had me fighting a level 60 boss at 30. They probably were 50+ by then
>>498286976You fight it again
>>498286980It is explained. If it's Physical damage, IE Slash/Pierce/Blunt, it works off your STR, and states it's Physical. There are some elemental attacks that will say Physical, these also work off your STR, for example Fiery Strike on Commander. Otherwise elemental attacks will be magical and work off your MAG. Anything that works differently will tell you in the description, generally.
>>498286452I beat this thing at like level 25, what's the problem? I thought it had very little HP, actually.
>>498284652>he fell for the full luck meme when you get free luck points later, item drop passives, and Steal(Ag based)
>press dash>*moans*gay
>>498287485That was the weaken version, you fight the real version on a followers level 7 rank mission and its level 60, you see the follower in the top left buffing you at the start of the fight
>>498287586>Steal(Ag based)who cares?>don't manage to steal x>reset turn 1wooow
Where tf do I continue Catherina's social link? I beat her 3 times and now she's gone for like the last 2 chapters. I'm currently at the point where Louis challenged me to duel
>>498287878>he doesn’t stealOh no bro you’re missing out on so much stuff
>>498287835Learn to get better
>>498287996dude just read past the first line, the point is that steal chance has no meaning when you can just reset turn 1 until you steal the item
>>498287878Unfortunately you will need to steal from Mimics to keep Purifying everything, though you can also choose to be pickier on what you purify.

>>498288491Found the Junahcuck.
>>498283858Is the mechanic perfected? No.Is it better than playing a game where you literally cannot lose as long as you use at least a neutral damage skill and maybe have a crumb of healing? Yes.Is it better than games that you have to play for 100 hours before 90% of gameplay is anything other than walking back to where you died and repeating the fight? Arguably.But yeah, mainly it just mitigates RNG nonsense wipes and makes it easier to scout weaknesses.

>>498290836Whydoyoutypelikearetard?
>>498290827They don’t matter for social stuff but for raising stats it matters
>>498290827There are some, like the books you read in the Gauntlet Runner & debate dialogue options, that can affect how much of a social stat you gain. That guide covers them but the ones during social links don't affect anything aside from bonus MAG.
>>498290827he meaing affecting like in persona,where 1 dialogue can give you 1 or 3 points for the social link and thank god they removed that,is retarded

does cooking unlock anything special?I havent been doing it at all
>>498292725no and it's not worth doing until you get to Maria rank 4

>>498292725Food is OP. Recommend waiting until you get Maria's link up before you cook though.
>>498292725Food is really fucking good, magical bread is one of the best things ever
How difficult is this game on normal? For a normal functioning adult.
Hashino you've done it again
>>498292998Hard is the default difficulty
>>498292725food is just OP potions and buffs, also Neuras tells you that once you cook one of every recipe you unlock a god recipe. The food they regens your mp for 60 seconds in a dungeon has saved me a ton
>>498292998I hear people say it's pretty inconsistent but I'm finding it to be even easier than Persona 5 was so far.

>>498294250Hashino saw him and Iggy Pop on an episode of the venture bros and thought it would be cool
I feel like it's possible this game might be going for an Utawarerumono twist where it's revealed that the world the game is set in is actually ours in the far future after normal humans have gone extinct.
>>498294749>>498293031
I don't get the 3rd story dungeon, we did all that and nobody knew acting like it was stealth? when we fought those mini bosses? they told nobody? and we just went our merry way?
>>498294256Hope you’re stealing from the pink girl
Bad weather is an insanely huge nerf, especially on hard mode. The turn action economy just goes to shit lmao.
>You feel like studying X has slightly...Alt+F4like holy shit how many choices have I fucked up
>>498294925but you didn't have access to thief when you fought her for the first time, oh there will be another fight? sweet thanks

>>498294982just get 4 of the pendants that make all your attacks crit during rainy days
>>498293506Think you only see her the 3rd time when you’re going to the 3rd town, also steal from her
LOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
>>498295157I saw that but I thought that would be like them running away instanly and telling everyone right this second so there no reinforcements but they just say nothing ..ever... super contrived.
>>498295065Yes you fight her after you get thief and seems you fight her again after that for a third time for a pink fist to steal
I'd bend MC over a chair and fuck them silly tbqh

Stupid fucking college classes slowing down my progress. Probably would've been 40% through the game right now rather than just starting the second town.
>>498294594Metaphor Hard is SMTV normal modeBaby wants his bottle tierRegicide is SMTV on hard modePiss easy tier
>>498294813Yeah I guess it was obvious with the book being about modern society and the literal human enemies. Thinking about it this game's plot is literally Utawarerumono.
>>498287996Stealing is bad an unbecoming of the king seeker.
this skill seems extremely overpowered and very well suited for no damage runs. literally just reset the time if you dont get your expected results. wtf were they thinking with that mechanic anyways? steal doesnt work? reset the time. you miss? reset the time. reminds me of fire emblem, same cheese strats
>>498295817SMTV is the Persona of SMT gamesNo wonder it flopped
>>498295927It's broken as fuck, yeah. The only downside is that is uses a lot of mp.
>>498295157>power is everythingWow!Just like in the postmodern and Foucaldian conception of "truth" (not actually truth)see "The Vacuity of Postmodern Methodology" by Nicholas ShackelIt also is along the same lines of postmarxoid wokies.Does this mean they made the wokesters into the bad guys in a hame about overcoming tribal, folkish even, division?If so, Louis going full demagogue makes even more sense!

These things are fucking obscene. This game is really hard on, well, hard.
That wasn't worth it

The etrian DLC costumes, only have costumes for the characters appearing on the picture, or every playable character gets one?
>>498298056I did, doesn't exactly stop them from raping you.
>>498298021Yeah, it was really disappointing to see nothing really changes. It was not even a hard fight, just long.
>knock out 20 guards>fight named guards>louis never finds out
I think I need to turn this back to normal difficulty. I don't know how you people play this shit on hard.
>>498283625The strongest.....
I really, really dislike games like this where status effects are completely useless against enemies but you can't properly protect yourself from them at all. This game isn't fun on hard and I'm sure it's boring on normal.
>>498298349>>498298573hard mode feels untested to me, i'm thinking about putting it on normal. definitely the worst hard mode i've seen in a rpg in a while sadly.
>>498298573wdym the combat is great it has to be otherwise its just a watered down persona game
>>498298775what's your problem with it? I certainly find it more balanced than SMTV's hard mode
>>498298878I found SMTV a LOT easier, though I haven't played Vengeance so maybe that's harder? Like how do you properly fight this thing >>498297983 without just getting ridiculously lucky or resetting 20 times? The only chance I had was to just let it game over me and come back later which is retarded. You don't have as many options to build your team as in SMT (which makes sense because it's a creature game but still)
Genuine question. How is the localization? Is it okay enough to play now or wait for fan translations?
>>498292998Piss easy. Hard is also pretty easy.
>>498298878pretty much what the other guy said there's no challenge on normal and its not fun on hard. I thought smtv was fun on normal
>>498295762You must be 18 to use this website.
>>498299206does shit like this bother you
>>498299168just use the merchant skill, sukunda and hama, you don't need anything else. Are you like, extremely underleveled or something?
>>498298183everyone gets one
>>498299168Have you tried not sucking at video games?
>>498298573I like what they did where you can go to an informant to learn the weaknesses of specific bosses and some of them have weaknesses to certain statuses.
>>498299429>Use Merchant skill>Mimic is enticed by money!>Mimic uses sleeping as (hits 2)>Mimic is enticed by moneyNow I have to cure the sleep or I instantly lose.>Mimic uses pulversing whatever>Mimic uses skull basher (hits merchant so he can't use gil toss)>Mimic does some other shit, I basically die.The action economy is just isn't there. I unironically get the feeling some of you just reset the battle entirely on the slightest inconvience but don't count that as a game over (it is) and then say it's easy. I beat SMTV on hard (and it wasn't that hard) and this game is far, far more difficult. I cannot see an argument against it.
>>498297705>weenie
Someone explain to me how this new battle system works. I don't get how turns work and why can't I see who goes next?
>>498299913>new
>>498299398eh... it will do
>>498299913>new battle systemit's SMT press turn
>>498299946Where is my all out attack?
>>498299168>corrosive dust or Fakerto lower DEF>pass turns so mage can use Ice move on it twice>use one Ice damage item to get an extra turn if need be
so masked dancer is just a class that can use more skills without inheriting? and saves mag kinda?
But why though?
>>498300063It's only weak to hama.
>>498299913its persona with a job system, thats it. so just switch jobs whenever you're stuck and then say how epic the party creator is
anyone experience their characters and enemies going invisible. I just wanna play the game but all these technical issues are killing me
>>498299398>Japanese potty "humor"sovl
>>498300143Oh I mixed up my enemies. Whoops. Just use Brawler + Mage synthesis to hit it for 700-800 lol
How do I get past the bird in the mine? He keeps beating me.
i think smt5 is easier on hard too, and more enjoyable. the entire point of this game seems to be killing everything before they ever get a turn except nothing has weaknesses so you can't do that. you spend more time in menus constantly switching around everyone's jobs for every fucking battle so they're actually winnable. i personally found it too difficult to be enjoyable, not sure if i'm going back to it.
>>498299845>I unironically get the feeling some of you just reset the battle entirely on the slightest inconvience but don't count that as a game over (it is) and then say it's easy.That's exactly what they're doing.>>498295927
Should I put my MC on mage early on? I feel like I need more magic when both my other 2 party members are clearly physical focused classes.
I wish the game would just instantly game over me if I get ambushed. There's no point in even trying and I'm currently just alt-f4ing if it happens. I don't think I've EVER won a battle where I got ambushed lol, just a 5 minute time waster. I guess that's punishment in a way.
>>498300468You're railroaded into Mage unless you want a harder game. You unlock other classes later in the game that are Magic based while you still don't have party members with magic stats.
>>498300730then whats the point of these other stats lol this game sucks
>>498300210I've had my archetype go invisible in the main menu but not outside
>>498300730Yeah. I was planning on going for a more mixed jack of all trades build for MC anyway so that works out fine.
Why is luck a meme build? Isn't getting more items and crits worth it?
>>498299845>Mimic uses sleeping as (hits 2)what are accesories>I unironically get the feeling some of you just reset the battle entirely on the slightest inconvience but don't count that as a game over (it is)so you don't use the tools the game provides and then you cry about the game being too hard? lol lmaoing even honestly
these premium bathing items seem really op, they pretty much give you a free level up
>>498300839You can permanently increase all your other stats with items later in the game so multi-classing is very viable later on.
gonna play
>>498301025>so you don't use the tools the game provides and then you cry about the game being too hard? lol lmaoing even honestlyif you're doing this you have autism and you're basically just admitting the game is hard as fuck lol
>grind out MP with Mage for minutes on weak dogs>reset immediately because of a single miss or enemy crit>following guides>"The game is easy lol" or "You didn't actually beat the game"It really is Souls all over again.
>>498301312Hard is balanced around it, and yes, hard is hard, I never implied otherwise.
dude just feels impossible to beat. are you practically forced to switch jobs for some bosses?
you guys are making hard sound like an enormous drag instead of something fun.
People are saying this is longer than P5 but I only have less than a month left on the calendar and it still quite a bit shorter.
>>498301379If an enemy boss or elite unit crits it's basically over for you anyway
>>498301509of course
is this game persona 5 popular or persona 3 reload popular?
>>498301692Metaphor popular, a tier of its own.
>>498301520Metaspergs will say anything to make this game seem comparable to Persona.
hard is mostly fine but in some battles that extra press turn feels really just added on without any thought. some AI scripts aren't designed around it at all. zorba for example actually is pretty cool with an extra turn, but those mimics mentioned in the thread just feel kind of ridiculous. like sleeping gas > aoe phys attack > sleeping guess? i know you can stop it with the merchant skill but that still means it does sleeping gas > sleeping gas which is just as bad.>>498301692in between
>>498301692its pretty popular either way. which hopefully brings us some kino mods
Help I am addicted to money.
>>498300468You can put Hulk on mage duty since she needs ranks in it for her knight specialization and then make your MC the Healer.
i wish someone would mod it so you don't have to fight when you get ambushed and you just game over instead. this is really killing the game for me.
>>498302008You could just not get ambushed.
>>498302008>he can't into animation cancelingpunished for lack of skill
>>498301954You can also just keep Hulk on Knight, give her the AoE heal Igniter, then inherit Hama on your Mage/Seeker
can magic crit?
>atluscucks buy new game on day 1 knowing that atlus will release a better version in a yearwhy do you guys do this? seriously, what's the mentality of buying a lesser product when you know you are just going to buy the better version in the future?
>>498302419I just have the money
>>498301692A lot more popular than P3R but we'll have to see if it's P5 popular I think. P5 is really fucking popular.
>repel all physical damagewhat a fucking gay monster
>>498300928i can load my state to before and the goblines were fine but it seems every single enemy in this this dungeon are like this. may try to reinstall. this is just so tilting
>>498302419And knowing its a worse version of an already existing game. Big time paypiggies.
>>498302516More like Kadabitch, I beat his ass and the chimera by having a party of 4 thieves constantly lifestealing him.
>>498302419It's only $5
>>498302419Played P5 day one and it took me like 3 years after Royal came out for me to play it. That's a lot of time between playthrough.
>>498302419Let me guess, Sparking Zero player?
whys grius look the same if the memory was from 12 years ago
>>498302419Atlus just makes really good games, i love 80% of their output and even though they are turbojews i am willing to pay for a lesser version of Metaphor Royal edition because even then it will be really good.
>>498303000his race ages slowly or some shit
So I was pumping magic into MC for the start of the game and just unlocked Mage, but now I find out your archetype also determines what kind of attack you do in the field. Point being, Mage's field attack is so dogshit it basically makes it impossible for me to engage with the field combat mechanic. Did I just ruin this mechanic for myself for the entire game because I wanted to do a magic build?
To people not struggling on hard:>Are you doing dungeons in one day?>How much degeneracy are you engaging in (ie mp farming with mage, merchant money grinding on crystals etc)>How much exp grinding are you doing?Not even judging if you do but I'm pretty surprised hard is easy to some of you.
>>498303125you just suck
>>498303125MCs class is hybrid anyway so start putting some points in STR
>>498295910Good thing we don’t steal, the bat does
should i try to get the minotaur accessory? how good is it?
>>498303149>yes>small amount of running around with mage to gain some MP back.>pretty much none outside of the above mage recovery.
>>498303336no you can get it later
>>498300989Merchant has a inheritable passive that increases item drop rate by 20%, and Thief has a hero passive that increases item drops when stunning/killing overworld mobs.Every 5 days you get +1 luck for free from the ship's toilet, so using levelups on it has less value. I've been doing Mag > Str and luck has been keeping pace as well from free stats and been getting me rare drops.
im in the 2nd dungeon and im not really having fun anymore because of the difficulty :( its not the good kind of difficulty.
I love my vita so much bros
>>498303446how?I was overleveled for the second dungeon and did 0 farming beforehandsurely you did bounties and other side quests right?
>>498303164I was easily getting ambushes on every field enemy before I switched to Mage. Good for you if you like playing Mage in the field but I don't.>>498303263MC gets his own class or something?
>>498303529i remember doing that with VV, one of these days ill buy one of those super android handhelds like a RP4 or odin mini
>>498301379>in tomb with roaming Minotaurs>if they surprise you it’s pretty much game overThis is why I play on storytelling
wow playing as jew class is actually busted
Am I missing something with masked dancer or is it pretty shit? When you get it it has overall less stats and damage/defense compared to other classes and you lose an accessory slot because you gotta have a mask
>>498303781>if they surprise you it’s pretty much game overas it should be, do you complain about FOEs too?
Why is she black?
>>498301520is this game really that much shorter than p5??
>>498303621i did some bounties. it's just really fucking hard, there's so many enemies and i'm running out of mp halfway through. also mimics are just an instant rebooting the game too, what a stupid enemy.
>>498304083And why is everybody in this racist fantasy world okay with that?
>>498302516Just brawler+healing light punch him? >>498302650>chimeraJust knight+mage guard against all elemental attacks?
>>498304083Because the mc is white
>>498304219>Just knight+mage guard against all elemental attacks?Tried that several times but didn't quite work, the 4 thieves strategy worked flawlessly
>>498304207the fantasy is that people hate hornless people instead of brown people
I'm playing on storyteller.
This game is way too fucking easy for an SMT vet like myself
the 2nd dungeon is too much of a difficulty spike because there's no low level enemies to regen mp on lmao
>>498303125You use the stave/staff attack to get an extra turn, it doesn't need to do damage
>>498304112Yes. It's the FFXVI of Persona games.
>>498304595for me its the opposite. im normally good at these games
>>498303673have you tried pressing the dodge button?it's there for a reason>>498304167mimics have a gimmick and you don't known what it is it's entirely on you for not buying info/reading dialogues
>>498304746How far in are you? I finished all the second cities dungeons last night, im like level 28 i might be overleveled lol
>>498304167After your first mimic fight you should have realized you can use explode them with the Brawler Synthesis Light Damage nuke. There's no need to use a Merchant for them.
>>498283537The first point is technically not true. The second point is true from a game mechanics perspective but a couple of these bitches are definitely into the protag. The third point is up to you.
>>498304595What do you mean? SMT is also easy.
>>498304959im in the first city still, i just fought minotaur and im 2 days away from the "sanctist anouncement"
how many "main story" dungeons are there? like eachtime you have a count down date
What was your Zorba (hard) strat?>MC unga bunga skull crusher>Synthesis unga bunga move with Stahl>Hulkenburg (you're so fucking useless) skip turn to get MC or Stahl to hit.
>>498305045>The first point is technically not true.NTA but what do you mean technically? The game so far up to where I've just unlocked the persona social sim stuff has been pretty blunt about YOU being the one who's going to become king.
>>49830495928 is enormously overleveled if you meant the well. I went in there at level 21. No shit it's easy.
>>498283858>why are we designing the game where a single miss can ruin a fight?First time experiencing SMT's approach to combat?
>>498305174>Use AoE Light damage Magic Igniter on summons>one AoE Light damage itemIt was a joke
>>498304751kys shitskin. I should've expected no better from these threads. Nothing but spics and brazilians in the SMT community here
>>49830524628 after doing ALL the dungeons in that area, i was like 23 when i went in the well
>>498305320>light ignitorhmm that's weird that sounds like you cheated as you didn't do the dungeon literally first thing.
>>498305405that's a great argument anonhave fun sucking at vidya
>>498305174Hulkenburg on monk with strike dodge + taunting from knight every turn to try and get zombies to attack her and either resist or dodge to waste press turns.MC buffs StrohlStrohl beats the shit out of Zorba, if a zombie gets enraged by Zorba he uses bamboo cutter (monk/warrior) to one shot it and get a press turn back.Reset if I get bad luck with paralyze hits>>498305256SMT is less punishing than this with the exception of like hard Nocturne ambushes. You have WAY more resists/blocks/absorbs in SMT so even if you do get crit you might still live if they hit an immunity or repel or something. That doesn't exist here.
WHAT THE FUCK I WISH THAT WERE ME FUCK YOU STROHL
>>498305195Well, your mission at first is really just to garner the trust of Louis to get in with him so you can steal his curse formula to free the prince and get him going on the path to becoming the king. The game FRAMES it like you're helping another man become king. The way things actually end up going is kinda different.
>>498305320You can't really kill the zombies effectively until he enrages them, at which point they hit like a truck.
People saying read a book read a book okay faggotsWhat books has a fun cast and the whole "fantasy is actually the far far future" twist?
>>498305539I hope a group of cartel or favela thugs invade your home and beat you up and hold you down and rape your family in front of you before peeling you apart piece by piece
>>498305698bro your rider of the blade?your energy ray?a simple hama?
>>498305320ok i'm genuinely struggling with this game but posts like this just confuse me. how would this strategy ever work? the zombies have so much hp that even super effective hama hits do fuck all. like i'm not trying to call you out but are you level 20 or something? mathmatically this doesn't add up unless you leveled like crazy.also you can't even get the mace that buffs hama damage before zorba because it comes from the same dungeon he is in meaning you'd have to do it 2 days intead of 1.
>>498305579The resistances you describe don't tend to exist in SMT til around mid-game most of the time though. I guess I can understand the complaint if you're pretty far into the game and still lacking options for resistances. I wouldn't know, I'm still only in the second town.
>>498285828This game isn't medieval.
are there portrait/asset rips anywhere online?i just like seeing the character art
which one?
>>498304595Opposite for me.The lack of good AoE skills and buffs early on is absolutely crippling, especially when trash and bosses two-three shot you like nothing. SMT fans seethe at me over this, but early-game Persona is harder than mainline in some respects, primarily due to the lack good skills on top of MP starvation.
>>498305698You can use Hama + Brawler for extra turns and manipulate the turn order so Hulkenberg always gets a Taunt + Block. I don't remember much about the fight because the Huma after was a bigger threat.
>>498306097no its all ai generated
>>498306161anon bumrush strength in persona games. fuck magic.
>>498305798>a simple hamaDoes 200 damage which isn't enough even with 3 hits.Does 550 damage when they are enragedthe best you can hope for basically is only have one summon at a time so he will keep summoning them instead of buffing them. I used like 10 different damage items and 4 revives.
>>498305825You aren't understanding how the boss fight works, which is fine if you're new. It's a pretty common trope for SMT/Persona bosses. The zombies are there for you to chain extra turns off of. You don't actually need to kill them. Just focus Zorba. I used warrior with the fire sword + mage + knight and just spammed jump thrust and fire attacks. On hard too.
is it just better to make junah a mage? masked dancer seems too reliant on good masks which wont come until way later i imagine
I'm tempted to buy some of the costume DLC just to swap the elf out of her fuck ugly default outfit.
>>498304959I will NOT dodgeI WILL mash the attack button while standing in the big purple aoe indicators
>>498306196I just faced that part with >>498305174this strat. shit was so much easier lmfao. MC and Stahl two hit that shit.fuck I need to find a way to make hulkenburg more useful, she's so useless to me right now with knight lmao. she's literally a punching bag whore. I thought putting tarukaja on her would make her more useful but feels more worth to just skip and use a synthesis move or another physical attack with MC or Stahl.
>>498306196>spoilerWhat? he was very easy compared to the necromancer. I just spammed the knight move that gives weakness to pierce on the heart
>>498306387dangerously based
>>498306267the zombies also rape your characters so once they enrage you do have to kill them.
>>498305708https://youtu.be/OchyYnlHTdo?si=iwZNLXiXFSRdcjwW
Just finished the cathedral dungeon. How reliable is the option to check for social links with your fairy? If the possibility to start a new link appears, will it already be shown on the map or do I need to do something like walk close to it to find it?
>>498305174I already forgot what I did lol, pretty sure it's bunch of reset and bunch of items that generate press turn
>>4983061182nd one
>>498306118more damage more better
>>498306534You're barely done? Christ you're fucking slow.
>>498299398I guarantee the JP dialogue is no better for this segment. Japanese people love this shit.
i'm watching someone play this game and he's turning the whole game off everytime he gets ambushed because the auto saves are so generous. at that point why not play on normal
>>498305174>Hulkenburg (you're so fucking useless)Her synergy that gives a pierce weakness debuff is insane.Easily carried me through early-game, and still useful in middle.
What Classes did you unlock for Heismay? I went with Faker and Gunner
>>498306912I don't see a point when you can just unga bunga more damage
All are equal and all live in safety and all are friends deserving of help. Despite that one tribe commits over 50 percent of the crime yet is only 13 percent of the population of the kingdom.
>>498307138She unlocks a skill that lowers enemy hit rate and evasion which makes her more useful
>>498302419It took three years for both P5 and SMTV to get their better versions. The wait for other Atlus games is even longer than both of those. So if the current record is three fucking years, I think I'm all good to play this now and then maybe play it again in three years.
>>498307272eh i just wish she can do something without using two press turn points. i mean tarukaja sure but again i'd rather pass turn and go UNGA BUNGA
>testing if the "almighty skills crit if it's raining" accesory works in the coliseum (it doesn't)>forget to unequip it>advance the story>fight the human kraken>it happens to be raining due to story reasons and my party is 4 fakers>literally spam free megido while critting every turn and getting free turns thanks to faker's rogueryfucker didn't have a chance
>>498307138Because it does 500-700 damage, and gives two half-turns upon using it again after the debuff is applied.
>>498301831Flopbros it's not looking so good.
how do you kill these things? even using merchant's money toss + light damage synthesis skill doesn't cut the mustard. am i just meant to not engage with these enemies at all and save them for later in the game?
Synthesis attacks that strike weakness/crit light up both of the turn icons used for it btw.For Zorba use the brawler's heavy light synthesis to kill a zombie, then use your remaining turns to hit him, and then he has to waste his turn re-summoning instead of attacking you.This also means using those synthesis attacks that are like "deal heavy pierce and apply a weakness to pierce" have return value for your initial investment if you then use it again next turn to use/reapply the weakness.
>>498283169>archetypal ring>fortunes graspwhen and where is this? I am way behind I just got my physical copy and am finishing the mourning tower now. I want to power game so bad but it's like day 3.
>>498302671Played $8 for mine but it has one month warranty. Good stuff
>>498301831
>>498307829all you need to do is hama spam them, put it on as many characters as you can, fuck their magic stat just spam it
>>498301831It saddens me that SMTVV is the lowest when it's better than all 3 Persona games.
How viable is strength in this game? Or is it all about magic?
>>498307962That's between 8 years and like 5 games
>>498308279The MC's ultimate skill is apparently physical and strength, but playing it as a strength build kinda sucks and I feel like I am constantly pigeon-holed into using magic.
>>498308279Strength is better, but it doesn't hurt to go mixed
>sunday afternoon eating pizza and playing a jarpigHavent had this much comfy in a long while
>>498307962after 8 years we've gotten>a multi-platform rerelease>4 spin-off titles (2 of witch are multiplatform)
>>498308279Magic is terrible after early game.
>>498307829Anon I did the dungeon on hard while a snadflash was active so i was getting no extra turns and i still managed to do it.Just spam your strongest shit.
i miss hulkenburg original design...
>>498308279The MC's ultimate skill is physical, but the rest of his job set is hybrid, and all of your early party members are physical leaning. So having him start out as your magic user isn't a bad idea
>>498308667Your post is useless and doesn't help anyone.
>>498308627no
>>498308842OK tourist

On my way to the tower, Lina and Catherina both said they will drop out of the race. Does that mean I can't get the achievement for winning all the debates anymore?
I thought that igniters are super duper expensive? How is that a rando recruit can get it?
>>498308236looking back when they posted the sales for VV i was more confused, but now im just kinda sad that they felt the need to lump in OG SMTV sales along with SMTVV sales

so many obvious personafags getting filtered by this game it's so funny
who should i hangout with on the way to virga island?!
>>498309374I don't get it, I've never felt the need to farm mp back, don't you have items?
>>498309456deserved for using a guide
>>498309557But why? You can cheese it with Mage MP generation and items.
COMMANDAH!
>>498309456you mean the guide written around storyteller?
>>498309456just load your last autosave?
>>498308893no
>>498309612>don't you have items?no, do you?
>>498309456That’s what happens when you don’t actively engage with gameplay. Sounds like a (you) problem
>>498309128They’re a necessary item for warfare in Metaphor’s universe. And the ones they get are pretty limited since all they cast is a low grade fire spell.
are the persona games anything like this? i am loving this game so far and i only really play the SMT games. I know about the highschool setting and waifushit of persona but does it play similarly to this?
>>498309854yeah, plentysure, they only recover 20 MP but you don't need to be full MP for most boss fights
>>498307067I gave him Commander, it’s quite good on him since he’s fast enough that he can lay out the buffs before anyone else takes their turn.
>>498309683this archetype is so cracked with its only weakness being weak to strike attacks

holy fuck i didnt know this cost so much. how would this ever be viable to use?
>>498310706very possible
>>498310537if you go look at the upper levels in the akademia on the right side all the way to the right/bottom there is an archetype with a crown as its symbol so yeah probably
>>498309972Its basically exactly this but its 'one more' instead of press turn, and you sit in one city/town the whole game instead of going on an adventure. Also demon fusion for the MCs personas
>>498308236Being on switch does that to sales.
>>498304207The tribes are where the racial discrimination is at, phenotypic differences within tribes are basically ignored. Like, the cat girls and dog boys and fox hags and horse tomboys all get along despite being different because they are all Paripus.

Not gonna lie, the last version of the seeker tree is visually underwhelming as fuck. The previous two versions look way superior.
they definitely couldve put this game on switch if they really tried...
>>498313117They do all seem to be charlatans, too. Their candidate is a two faced scumbag who is nice in public but if you ever find him on the street as an NPC he badmouths you, Culculus (I forget his actual name) is a swindler by trade and Junah is obviously doing it for the right reasons, but she’s a spy using her role as a singer to charm people so she can accomplish her mission.
>>498312968>Isolationist religious minority with a literal third eye spirit sightthe mustari feel pretty muslim to me
I saw a review that said this is Persona, but medieval fantasy and with the gay romance replaced with political intrigue. Is this an accurate assessment? My favorite game in the Atlus catalogue is SMT3: Nocturne, will I like this?
lol
I need the rare drops from the skeleton commanders or whatever (the upgraded version) before I leave the store room but they don't seem to respawn?
>>498313607there's a boss fight that's a reference to Nocturne's Ongyo-ki fight (same gimmick)also some of the physical classes use HP instead of MP for skills
>>498313593I guess the headpieces they wear would support that too when I think about it. But the way they are treated as backwards pagans living primitive lives and worshipping a polytheistic pantheon of loosely defined beings has some Native American/aboriginal vibes too.
Where can you go to do debates and raise your standing for the kings race?
>>498314221Near the voting rocks in each city.
>>498313679>I like series for men who do manly thingsIt's probably safe to assume that think something generic action or battle shounen is the pinnacle of Japanese media.
So where can I find this "wandering student" near the grand cathedral?
>>498313912Neat. I didn't realize there was a demo so I guess I'll just play that and see how I feel about it.
SheNowA new pow
>>498307962The much more important comparison is that P5's PC port was a couple years after Royal had come outObviously this game is not P5 levels of popular, but holy fuck do both of these games make P3 look like a complete joke
Is Dragoon any good? I was leaning Warlock because he looks awesome, but I was thinking of making Will another physical based attacker outside of melee.
>>498313593>isolationistIslam is a militaristic and conquering religion, retard.
This OP job FUCKS Junah while Louis WATCHES Click Here For More
>>498315003I thought the P3 remake was supposed to be one of the games produced on a budget, but the cutscenes, cg and animated, look much better to me than Metaphor's. The latter is so stiff at times.
>>498314001Since it is a Japanese game, I think the main inspiration would be old Shintoism (as opposed to State Shintoism).
Can I refight gargoyles somewhere? I didn't get their rare drops.
UMI DA
>>498315189It is like he was exactly wrong. Everything he mentioned is what allowed the game to capture the attention of multiple audiences.
Metaphor might climb up the ranks but I dunno. I'm not really feeling it and the pacing of the story seems a little abrupt to the point of taking me out of the experience. I only played OG Catherine.
so is this like a cheaper tetra/makara break?
You better run Elda or someone will kill you.
I've been pumping my MC's magic stat as the game really pushes you toward using Mage on him early on, but I just learned that he gets a special Seeker job that is more physical/hybrid later on. Should I start over and spec him into Strength or more of a hybrid build? I'm only 10 hours in, but have invested like 25 points into Magic.
it's really annoying how a lot of these early game bosses already don't have weaknesses
【New Information】【Metaphor: ReFantazio】Atlus is planning on creating the next step in the Metaphor franchise.A Metaphor dancing spin-off has started development.Metaphor: ReFantazio Ultimate edition, A $70 re-release, will contain a boss fight of Joker from Persona 5.
>>498316223Yeah, that's bothering me, too. I just finished the Necromancer dungeon and the fact that both the Necromancer and the Human boss fights were resistant to fire, ice, and lightning, rendering my Mage useless. Had to restart the fights with a different team build. What's the point of having a class designed around exploiting enemy weaknesses with 3 different elements if you're going to make enemies resistant to all 3 of them?
>>498316201You can go where you want to go. Be who you want to be. Change the way you live. Try to be positive.
>>498309001The Pan
>>498316201>Class system! You can make your characters whoever you want them to be!>Just kidding, they all get special classes designed specifically for them that shoehorn them into a single playstyle.Bit irksome.
>>498313294>last versionAnon...
does magic and ranged attacks also lose potency when you go to the backrow?
>>498316704>>498316201It really does feel like the game is railroading you into beating stuff the intentioned way instead of letting you do your own thing but anyways I just go full physical and punch things to death. every singlesmt game
where can I find this student?
>>498316918The tutorial prompt for rows just said it was melee attacks it made weaker.
Are the cathedral enemies respawned when you go back for sidequests? I need to farm some items I didn't drop the first go around.
>>498316918no
why didn't we get a japanese anime opening intro tho?
when you see it
how is hulk brawler?
>try storyteller to see how much of a buff it was to dropsHoly shit this is pretty much just cheat mode
>>498317391>Piggytron
considering the nature of the story.why didn't they just make this the Turn A of all Atlus games?
>>498316849Well, I'm not seeing more nodes on the tree. If there's another version later, great, but it doesn't change my point, this shit looks underwhelming as fuck and worse than the two previous stages.
>>498317060>>498317338what about synthesis attacks? does only the main guy matter?
>>498317596I mean who knows, they still might double back on that. Its going to be hard to justify MUH COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUSNESS and other concepts though
>>498313294Youre retarded. Soul Hacker is one of the coolest designs in the game, it definitely looks better than Magic Seeker and its retarded nose
>>498317391Kaneshiro-sama....
Hard players that didn't reset difficulty, or played the demo, out of curiousity, how far are you into the game by now?

>>498317780>Youre retarded. Soul Hacker is one of the coolest designs in the gameNo, I'm fine, you're just a result of sub-human inbreeding. Soul hacker looks like a mix between african and and native american kites. Anyone that likes that design is either trolling or genuinely so inbred that his family has no branches on the way up for multiple generations.
>>498318013Just left the second city, almost 40 hours in
>>498318080good argument. i concede.
>>498318013did the 4th city main dungeon on the first day, just unlocked eupha, 40 hours in, i spent some time grinding the red crystal in the forsaken tower and the one in the main dungeon from the 4th city.
keep telling yourself that
I'm the boring player who won't deviate from the characters primary archetype tree unless the next stage requires another.

how many cities/main dungeons are there i just want a number
There's a way to fix the ingame audio? I don't want to download shit like FxSound like some websites are recommending.
>>498318431why does mf look like a one piece character?
chillin'
>>49831883569
>>498316704I've never really felt the need to go that crazy with custimization anyway. Like demons in SMT are always going to be suited for certain kinds of playstyles so not being able to build a physical character like a mage isn't something I care about. It's more about being able to fine tune that specialization in ways I want to be more effective like with certain skill combos and passives. Persona is really lacking in that regard.
>>498318865whats there to fix?
Why loot icon.

I'm starting my Metaphor journey tonight. Any tips aside from the obvious or "sit on the bench for 1 wisdom" or whatever else (which I've seen all of because I'm an OCD faggot who watches "20 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU START THIS GAME" videos at my own potential detriment)?
>>498318013I'm at 40 hours including demo time and in the middle of the port city questline.I'm taking a break for now.As expected the game gets a lot more manageable once you get access to better everything (classes, skills, items, quest rewards). I did in fact manage the mimic dungeon on a sandstorm day but it was a shitshow and I have no idea if the bonus EXP is worth the trouble. Hint: use the money throw skill to keep them from acting and just fucking nuke the mimics with the mage's Meteophor.
>>498319659It's a "item of interest" icon, they reuse it for a lot of different things. The green orbs tend to go away after being clicked once though, so the portraits remaining lit up feel like a bug.
>>498318013Just got out of the worm anus. MP management and the damage enemies do are the biggest concerns so far.
>>498318780are you using reshade? why is your game seem darker than mine?
>>498318013just finishing my free days after the 2nd story dungeon which was waaaay shorter than the first
>>498319923yes
>>498319770>dont cook until you get mariah to rank 4 for speed cooking.>don't bother grinding early, there are very clear areas the devs want for you to grind in, where they drop 2 or 3 red crystals in a large room.>once you can kill an enemy type in the overworld, change the mc into the thief archtype and check if the drop is worth farming, those green slimes drop a defense reduction item pretty early.
>>498308236SMTV is garbage though
>>498319770Try not to be an OCD faggot because this (and Persona) will drive you mad with the tons of random missable NPc chatter alone, not to mention many activities are redundant (i. e. read a book to raise your virtue stats or talk to NPCs for the same effect).
>>498320035cute monke elf
>>498318013I'm at the fourth dungeon around 36 hours in
>>498316704i guess its moreso to promote learning abilities from other archetypes that benefit their main. one of the tier 3 mage archetypes has hyper (concentrate) so i imagine any magic caster will want that. idk who has charge, probably berserker
>>498319770Don't take any time progression action until you've talked to everyone so you can prioritise.Also it should be more obvious but you're really intended to do the cathedral dungeon before anything else even though you have like 10 days to do it.
>>498319349This is what im saying, pepple were complaining about the Ultimate archetypes but realistically the character was always going to be designed around the Archetype they awakened. The fun part is messing around with skill inheritance and synthesis setups
>>498318013Hard mode player, no demo, 21 hours in, just had the first trial in the port city and did all the side requests and bounties + locations. Only did a bit of farming (like 2 hours) in the goblin dungeon with merchant for money and exp.Im really surprised at the 40 hour answers. Wtf have you guys been doing? Is it the fact that I farmed to be pretty much always above the enemy level in dungeons so what took you hours took me 20 minutes of overworld clicking?
>>498320272Wrong.
>>498320301Yeah its berserker, though Concentrate and Charge are actually p bad in this game imo.
>>498319770you can recover all your mp for free by equipping mage and farming low level mobs in an early part of the dungeon
>>498320604Yes if you don't overlevel dungeons they take a good long time.
>>498319486Voices are too low.
>>498318865Reduce the other audio volumes to like half of the voices, then crank up your system volume
>>498320604pretty much, also, i read everything and talk with every npc, in each town there are npcs that give you items or an unmarked request, like the old man in the 3rd town that gives you 5000 cash to write him a letter
Eupha is perfect bros
english or japanese?
>>498320784how does fxsound fix that?
>there are probably deviants in this world who fuck eugief women
>>498320945Japanese with spanish text, spanish Gallica is better than in english.
>>498320604some dungeons are long, like 5+ hours to do everything, even when you can kill all but 2 enemies in the overworld
Rank 7 Maria requires level 4 tolerance God dammit that's gonna take a while should've known that something as good as her rank 7 cooking ability wouldn't be so readily attainable but it's still disappointing how much time that's going to take to grind
>>498320604here's your bait reply2h of goblin farming does jackshit on hard and certainly don't overlvl a dungeon. t. did far moreat 'worst' minotaur 2.0, red mimic 2.0, the bro with his rank 7 quest and several other shit put you back in places real quick. if anything you should have said you did tower farming cause passing on that is retarded. pic related sub 3min
>>498315760Holy shit taste
>overworld mp recovery>access to 3 different elements>mp recovery passives up the ass>magic damage passives>minmaxed stat distributionwhy is the mage line of archetypes so privileged?
>>498321304for example i have 2 saves one in 8/10 at 32 hours and one at 8/20 at 40
So how many main story dungeons the games has in total
>>498318013About to one day the Martira dungeon at 30 hours played but I've done nearly every bit of side content plus some goblin forest dungeon farming for job xp and money
>first Neuras>then Heismay>now Bardon (I was scared that he was involved with the culprit)I kneel to all these non-teenaged and highly positive male characters.
Man this story is literally just persona 5 but fantasy. The oppression, the rise to heroism, the downfall, the redemption, it's all going at the same beat.
This game is going to be pretty short by Atlus standards right? I noticed I'm pretty much 40% done after the second town.
I legit got teary eyes when doing Maria social link
>>498321395access to 3 elements isnt exactly rare, like half the classes in the game do
>>498321697The game has about 7 main story dungeons 1 short of the 8 that vanilla p5 had
>>498318013Just finished second city, going to bilehaven or whatever. 30 hours but with roughly 4 hours of idling.However I'm end of year peak is about to start for work so I probably won't beat till december.
>>498319770Put all your stat level ups in En, have everyone as Mage in the goblin dungeon, sell all equipment that requires purification
p5 royal was unironically too long so if this is a little shorter id be happy.
What are your preferred activities? For me it's reading books on the runner and hanging out with the storytellers and m*stari in town.
i wonder how much leniency you have to clean up slinks and stuff near the end. feels like it shouldn't be TOO strict.
>>498319770There's a little mascot dude who gives you gameplay tips in dungeons, so here's a big one ahead of time: equipped weapons influence your archetype skills so you should keep them up to speed just like armor.
Junah is cue, right?
>>498322079double fist jerking off strohl and basilio in the gauntlet runner
>>498322190persona s-links are pretty much impossible to 100% on your first playthrough until they release the enhanced version of the game with an extra month of usable time
>>498322280The eyes are too distracting
>>498322280I love girls with fluffy hair.
>>498322436p5's werent that bad if you found out about chihaya
>>498322305Eupha please
>>498320035Eiselin is my wife. I love her. I love Hulkenberg or Hulkie-chan as I call her. She is literally perfect and lovely. I love this steadfast dork. I love her exactly how she is and she doesn't need to change but one day there will be an entirely tasteful mod that restores her incredibly petite and small but still defined ass and sends current censored by Atlus Hulkenberg for a run for her money. We will have what was promised and she will only become even more perfect.>>498322280Honestly yes I think she's cute I don't mind this ongoing recurrent Chihaya-esque fivehead/scarfhead archetype and her 60s style is cute too. Her hair and that fan is evocative of a butterfly. I love the "60s" style in this game.
Oh my god I NEED to fuck that short catboy by Louis's side.
>>498321371>bait replyBy Goblin dungeon I meant the field with the goblin mages with the black hoods, I spent around 2 hours there.My actual playtime is 21 hours on steam, but its 19 hours on file, I fucked up once and had to reset to an earlier save once but rest of it is afk on main menu>tower farmingDont even know what the tower is
>>498322561i consider that part of the challenge because anyone will just look at her giant forehead and go "yeah... maybe later"
>>498322436lol on royal I had that entire extra month with nothing to do because I finished all social links with exception of kasumi and goro by the end of the base game
>>498312614they unlock with social bonds I thinkso remember to fulfil More's requests
Surely I'm not the only one who feels that her social link starts out like a sugar mama?
>>498322771>claims to have done everything>skipped a dungeon
>>498322841>AI slop
>>498322841You are offering a service.Just a little bit of free trade.Commies and Sancticucks wont understand.
>>498322771a side req dungeon from the shit you said did lmao
>>498322280Used goods.
>>498303149>Are you doing dungeons in one day?Yes.>How much degeneracy are you engaging in (ie mp farming with mage, merchant money grinding on crystals etc)None.>How much exp grinding are you doing?I grinded a bit in the Cathedral to get to level 15 because Zorba was bullying me but other than that I haven't grinded and have avoided some encounters.
>>498321697It's shorter, but it also doesn't have repetitive school filler. The sidequest dungeons are also a nice change of pace from Mementos or Tartarus, even if they're small and still reused assets.
Honestly one of the more effective story beats IMO is how tense it gets when you're in the port town and have to enter Louis' service.
>>498323135Is the port town the third city or second one
God I love Fabienne
>>4983232303rd
>louis is wrong because... he killed le hecking king!!
so how long is it actually? like 60 hours? i'm on 30 and just finished the second "arc"
>>498283858You still get 100% fucked when ambushed even if you restart 10+ times, so I'm fine with it. They don't let you save everywhere either, so you still have to deal with some consequences.
>>498323319Yeah pretty much. It's fairly short for a Not-Persona Persona game.
:3
>>498323319If you count each big dungeon an arc there's 7 in total
>>498323010>>498322958the tower unlocks in brilehaven, and 7/22 is when you have just arrived there and are still locked into story shit after the head presentation, retardos...

>>498322280she was attractive in her slutty dress. this? no.
>>498321721Heismay, Brigitta and Alonzo are also pretty rough
60 hours seems impossible to me unless the game just ends after bilehaven. it took me 32 hours to move on from the 2nd city.
>>498323543>start Alonzo>oh cool this is Persona 5 stuff, anarchic archetype, stealing hearts, Trickster etc.>one (1) scene later

>>498323793This fanart is not on model

Is there a way to stun weak enemies without killing them?

>>498318080You'd know Soul Hackers (1997) has Native American influence through Nemissa and Kinap’s role but your faggot secondary ass hasn't played a megaten game prior to Persona 4.

>>498324575Her sex appeal is her beautiful face, eyes, ears, and GOD TIER FIERY RED HIME CUT. I AM A HIMESEXUAL.I don't care if she's a sticc. Hulkenberg is S T I C C and that's alright.
>>498324853W hulkenbro
>>498318080>>498324668>talking shit about/defending Soul Hacker's designSoul Hackers (1997) is absolute kino. Let me see a picture of what Soul Hacker looks like in game please.
I just hit the last month. Are they fucking serious about telling me to go back to the towers. I would have fucking waited if I knew that.
>>498324639You mean royal?, and on vanilla p5 I finished everything before the 24th as well
>>498316704They did the right thing. I hate xenoblade 3's endgame because everyone is basically the same character gameplaywise except the MC. Sure, you still divide them into roles, but it doesn't change much.
he's so cool...
>>498324575Only underage faggots care about that.
The game gives you nigh-infinite money even without Merchant abuse and SP recovery isn't much of an issue past the Cathedral anyway, so neither of these things are a big deal.
Can I trade the annoying singer for the big dog brother?
>>498325058No, I was talking about P4, both ends during christmas eve.
>>498324575
>>498324575They nerfed her ass during later development but I don't care. I love Hulkenberg. She's so sexy. And those ankle boots are stylish and PURE sex. Also the back shot of her outstretched arm and her long long hair in the equipment menu for armor is... so aesthetic. So good. So incredible. I must sniff her hair.
>>498325110I just like smacking things in the overworld. It's oddly relaxing
>>498325056How did you reach there so fast?
>>498325110What difficulty are you playing at? I'm on hard and I run out of SP because normal attacks do shit. I think hardmode halves resorce gain though.
>>498325073fucking kill yourself comparing this game to xenoblade 3
>>498325076agree
>>498325245Oh I see p4 is easy to do the all social links, p5 too if we're being honest
Do you get anything new for fighting the ??? Human boss in Kriegante Castle a second time if you've beat it once in the room before?
>>498325285I spent the weekend no lifing it. I didn't skip anything. The temple though sucked. It took me like 4 hours on hard to get through.

>>498325280I enjoy the diet Dark Souls too.>>498325356Hard, but phys MC alleviates SP issues significantly.
>>498325356What are you going to do if he doesn't stop. piss and shit yourself?
>>498320683They've been pushing Charge/Concentrate as moves that you save up for burst turns instead of stuff you spam for the longest while.
>>498325478No. It's a waste of time. Vitality essence isn't worth it. >>498325571I fucked up and went magic. I like it. Summoner is great and steal mp with thief is pretty strong with magic focus but the rest of the team suffers. The real issue is that some of the good attacks cost a lot of mp. Against hard shit I find myself using general's formation shifts for quick damage.
>>498324575she looks nice with the knight armor
>>498325524By "temple" you mean dragon temple?
>>498324651ahhh, so that's why there was no save point. I wasted my items for nothing

>>498325824Yes. I died a lot though. I like to be under leveled for a challenge and a number of enemies on hard if you get caught out will just destroy you first turn.

>>498325773I want to be femdommed by her and Hulkenberg at the same time. Hulkenberg can ride my cock raw while she sits on my face and wiggles and they occasionally interlock fingers and kiss with tongue.
How did they not see just how exploitable the merchant's passive is? Just dip in and out the desert and whack hyena packs for infinite dosh.
>>498325425This entire arc was wild. I get why they paid yoko taro to shill this thing.
>>498326087>admitting to browsing redditGo back.
>>498326087Well, if he finds some peace with this game, that is fine. I only find ironic how it is more likely that his friends lead or enabled him into NOT figuring out who he really is. At least he has a social support network, but now he should be able to deal with reality (as opposed to fantasy manifested as delusion).
>>498326181Some these S.Links are kind of predictable some of them are sad. Bridgette's dog is just missing (probably murdered) and it's just never brought up again.

>>498326640I guess I was being hopeful. She said he was missing and taken I was hoping that went she was going to burn the village that her dog wasn't dead. She didn't explicitly say it.
liking the game a lot but the slinks are pretty mediocre so far. a lot of the same themes being repeated too.
>>498325237you dont have to trade, its a 2 for 1 special :)
>>498326847Come to the dark side, start skipping everything for the grueling RPG gameplay.

Looking at maria, I wonder if they thought about killing dojima some time during development. That would be too cruel.
>>498326834not much point keeping it alive when the entire point of taking it was to hurt her
>>498326602ass too big
The social links are worse the P3 FES
did the full version on pc actually add a motion blur filter or do I seriously need a mod to remove it?
>>498327104p3 had some of the best slinks in the series so that's okthe dying young man always tears me up
>>498327104Fes has great links. I wish the game had more links but I hate the grind. I'm glad they didn't repeat the haru problem where we had absolutely bare bones interacts with the last party member before we get them.
>>498327207Same deal with p3r, probably ported by the same team
>>498327049funny you should mention...Dojima was the OG killer, there's still his "evil" chathead concept art if you google it
I'm starting to remember why I hate the calendar system and all non-static events tied to it
Fucking finally, holy shit
Mage/Wizard seems so good for MC but it's so limited by slow slink progression.
>Get to the dragon temple, Etrian odyssey music starts playing and FOE gimmick is in the dungeonThis game really is an Atlus love letter huh...
>>498327582You have other magic classes. That you'll use late game before getting the last wizard classes. Healer for hama and heal, thief's mudo and steal abilities, eventually you get masked dancer which is fine but why does if force you to waste a fucking accessory slot, and summoner which is a busted class.
>>498327582It's somewhat less limited than the Phys side of things, honestly. Phys doesn't get access to Medium attacks until far after Mage already had access to all of them except Hamaon. In other words Phys is just as limited (though it still kicks tons of ass).
are stat growths on level up influenced by the current archetype equipped (for party members)
>>498327806>This game really is an Atlus love letter huh...Except for the class system they got from FF5.
Holy shit!Catherina is outright fighting for her race.How is this ethnocentrist aittude even allowed?!
>>498327869It depends on your friendship with Strohl. His second upgrade gives you access to heavy slash. You can also level his s-link and Hul's s-link much faster. >>498328017Stat growths are flat. You get one random one and one you choose per level. Your final stats depend on your stats and the archetypes.
Lol so Archtypes are actually, literally, personas. Absolute cinema.
>>498328334I really doubt you're getting Samurai before you're getting Wizard/Thief, but hey, maybe it's possible.
>>498328334i meant for party members
>>498327463congrats
>>498328345>5min after studying Jung
>>498326175Yes cause even with discounts shit is expensive in this game, especially the mask and vessels
Are paripus supposed to be this dumb and impulsive or is she particularly dumb and impulsive?
>>498324575Made her a stick with broad shoulders and gave her a hideous name.
>>498328687all i did was play this game for 50 hours for the grand reveal
>>498328432Sword Master is actually really strong though. It's expensive but you get heavy slash AOEs. Magic knight's abilities to give something a weakness that can chain into the same attack is also pretty insane. >>498328557For party members it depends on their base archetypes. Strohl will focus on strength. Hulkenberg on end.
>>498326181I just finished the 2nd arc. Is the 3rd one just as good?
I love this retard
>>498328981>>498328849I am sure there is at least one intelligent furry, right?
is there special weather in the grand trad region? trying to decide on the order i wanna do things in the 4th city
>>498328914>For party members it depends on their base archetypes. Strohl will focus on strength. Hulkenberg on end.thats not what im asking. if strohl levels up but i have him as a mage, is he going to get more mag increases?
>>498328904Retard. What I'm saying is if you had any knowledge of personas and archetypes in the real world you'd have known that from the minute you saw them use the term Archetypes in this game
>>498327463its literally worse
>>498328914Yeah fair enough, Magic Knight has the medium Pierce too.
>>498329206ok.
>>498329147No. It depends on what their main archetype is. Strohl will always be a shitty mage.
Spoilers below, I finished the 1st dungeon but haven't left the new town to hunt Heismay yetI'm amazed at Strohl's plot to go undercover with Louis' group. I just chose to help out Glodell against the monk and the FUCKING MAIN BAD GUY rides down on his flying runner to meet me!I don't play a lot of jrpgs, but this is new ground. Going deep undercover like this in the main villains group is a great plot point and I can't wait to play more.Also Nueras is incredible. I feel like he's been around as my bro from the beginning, even though he was only introduced like an hour ago.
2 complaints about the combat so far>you're frontloaded with STR members so it feels like you're forced to a MAG fag>you can't switch archetypes in battle so you're kinda fucked sometimes and there's no way you could have known; why don't they let you switch at the cost of a turn?
>>498329598>you can't switch archetypes in battle so you're kinda fucked sometimes and there's no way you could have known; why don't they let you switch at the cost of a turn?To encourage party-building.

>>498317391Nice Butereba reference. Underrated anime.
>>498329679why do strohl and hulk seem to have more focus than the other party members?
Gunner also gets a Heavy Pierce at 20, back-row only but damn. Phys eats good.
junahs portrait is really hard to look at
>>498329764hulk was the first character conceived for this project so i guess it makes sense. strohl who knows. spoiler reasons maybe?
>>498329675ok but it's still bullshit when you get caught in a scripted story battle or while on the road in the runner and you had archetypes set for farming or whatever.I guess it's something I have to keep in mind from now on
>>498329764First party members to join and most people probably won't even play the game long enough to get a 5th party member.
>>498329982How is that BS when you literally see the runner on the map before you go anywhere
>>498329450Most if not all jrpgs have better writing and plots than western games.
>>498329598>forced to a MAG fagI did that, too. Focused on the Magic Stat and chose "I've got a sharp mind" with Klinger at the beginning. I think I'll start to level up Strength now. I was kinda useless in the Human boss fight after Zorba. >there's no way you could have knownI think the informants cover that. They tell you the weaknesses and stuff. Even people in the Minotaur dungeon said "Goblin hate mage and healer units" to warn you.
>>498329764Strohl is the sidekick bro character in metaphor
>>498330058not those, I meant getting attacked in the middle of the night at a campsite or when random enemies attack the ship. pure RNG.
>>498329982If you make good use of inherits, cover your bases and supplement with items when appropriate, you can generally handle everything with one solid party. Depending on your damage profile you may indeed have to swap but it shouldn't be that frequent; most DPS will have multiple elements to deal damage with.
>>498329764>>498329945I'm pretty sure there are a bunch of things in Metaphor that are a reaction to P5's reception. It seems like they didn't want a repeat of how anne, yusuke just don't matter after the first act. >>498330071The prince's stats are so high that as a fellow Mag player, I was still doing like 4k with his synthesis abilities. The prince gets magic abilities though.
It feels pretty great to have a Persona style game with an adult cast. It’s refreshing to have characters that already have some story and history to them when they join your party rather than just getting started in life.
is there actually no romance? like none?
>>498330176They don't tell you this but you can run away from those.
>>498330328I wish it was even more adult tbqh. I want that guard captain from the 2nd town to join (yeah I know there's overlap)
Gallicafags, she can't be with a NEET or she'll literally die from boredom
>>498330328>persona with adult castIf metaphor was persona 6 taking place in school, strohl and hulk would just be your classmate.
>>498330573Hulk doesn't work as a classmate. Neither do half the party members. The issue isn't their age but experience because they aren't limited to classrooms.
>>498330369Junah and Eupha both have the hots for the protag eventually if you do their follower events and Eupha even confesses explicitly. Gallica is cute and you can tease her and she’ll blush and stuff. You never get to choose a romance path vs a non romance path. You do get some “pick your favorite” moments where you can go on mini dates.
>>498330573>Hulk was a long serving royal knight>Heismay is an old man grieving his dead son>the runner pilot is a dandy old manThese characters don’t really work as 18 or under.
Why is she such a dork?
Went out on a quest expedition after paying to see the future weather. Took longer than expected and when I got there it was non stop rain. I think I'm too far behind everyone else now, don't spoil me silly anons uwu
Kek I just realized the whole plot is basically November election but with more candidates
>>498331251The idea of Hulk butchering monsters to eat raw while singing one of Junah’s emotional ballads to herself is pretty funny to me.
I have fucked up my run, thought i was supposed to end up in the tower in clear skies but it was storm. i cant defeat the mimics without extra press turns from holy skills and dont want to skip all of them, no to mention there are probably even more difficult enemies ahead.Gotta waste 1 day for camping and hopefully reset weather.
>>498331368americans try not to make everything about american politics challenge (impossible)
>>498331368>but with more candidatesthat is how real (or less fake) elections are supposed to be, murrican-chama
>>498330965Eupha is canon, Junah is for my boy Basilio
>>498331472Junah is a lewd woman who is not to be trusted.
why would you ever use anything other than prince persona after you obtain it?
>>498331648Thats why we give her to the dog!

>>498331425Here's a spoiler. The end game asks you to come back to the towers.
So do picking things the bond people like help ranking up faster or is it only for Mag?
Bottling and selling hulkenberg's bathwater
>>498331779The demo is only 23 gigs so it's probably just the first arc. Which is what the demo should have been.

>>498331472Gallica is canon. You don’t have to like it, you just have to get on board with it.
When can I fucking equip/see the DLC costumes? I know apparently they don't apply in the overworld and only in dungeons but how far into the game do I need to be to see the option of equipping them/be notified of my pre-order/extra DLC stuff being in my inventory? Like how do I see if my free easy mode DLC bullshit is actually working?

>>498333528I think the actual answer to his question is that, since he is a large person, he would be a large fish. This means that it is likely that he would be a rather bland fish.
>>498331251It's a fun part of her character, being a the tanky knight who is also a fucking loser!
sometimes the game lets me play, sometimes the game is just an anime/visual novel I get to sit in the room with, sometimes the game says WAIT A FEW DAYS and doesn't let me level my king shit. what do you want from me game? what do you need? I just want to talk to the homeless poor person and level tolerance for a check but Gallica wants to king block me because I guess I need to watch a cutscene or something. I spent 10 hours having fun and now I have to wait until it lets me play again or something I don't fucking know. It's all so easy when I need to go through a dungeon and beat the guy in the dungeon. The parts between those moments, utter madness. Complete nonsense: show this child a picture NO NOT LIKE THAT YOU WEREN'T UNDERSTANDING ENOUGH HOLY SHIT! Talk to this lady about doing a job for her NO NOT LIKE THAT YOU FUCKING IDIOT YOUR TOO DUMB TO TALK TO HER! Convince this guy to let you do a favor for him so he does a favor for you NO NOT LIKE THAT IT WASN'T CREATIVE ENOUGH UGH!I just can't wait to be king. how did you guys spend your four days in martiarairia? I'm stuck I had to save and just get ready for bed.also have we started getting good porn yet?
