I hate her stupid shoulder pads.
I love this retard
>>498331940>>498332171I love her fancy suit jacket/corset and fucking oversized 80s shoulder pads and her incredibly stylish and sexy ankle boots.
I love her stupid shoulder pads.
>bardons quest to slay the great worm is only 6 stars>current quests are 6.5 stars>"this should be easy">go in>the thing is level fucking 60 and one taps my whole partywhat the hell is this shit?
god i love not having to work and be employed. i love playing video games all day
You know this game really made me realize that the social sim stuff works a lot better when there's actual explicit stakes for it. I care a lot more about raising my social stats when it means more than just making friends and maybe getting a girlfriend. I actually hope they make more just actual JRGP Persona games.
I give up on fighting "???", even if I did beat it (if the game bugged maybe) I would end up with negative MP
>>498332375i did it at level 45 on hard, just lock the fuck in
>>498332171>>498332302
What virtue should I focus on early? I'd cook for tolerance but I heard it wasn't worth it until rank4 Maria.
>>498332151I only just got out of the recruitment center I'm literally skipping everything and going to delete my save and start over, I just need to fucking make sure the DLC is working.
GALLICA, PLEASE BE NICER TO ME
>>498332539You need Imagination 2 for Faker and Eloquence 2 for Heismay
>>498332539tolerance and imagination
>>498332539>I'd cook for tolerance but I heard it wasn't worth it until rank4 Mariarank 4 maria is for regular cooking, fabienne cooking still passes time so just go for it
>>498332567I can tell you that they will work, chill out.
>>498332539 Cooking for tolerance isn't what they mean by cooking. Eventually you'll have the option to make dishes on your own.
I have work in 6 hours bros. Go on without me.. god I wish was a teenager still I want to just play this all week.
Are you able to eventually cook stuff in the Gauntlet Runner without needing to make a trip?
>>498332947No. You can only cook during those times unfortunately.
>>498333037Man that sucks balls, guess that means I need to make sure I always stock up if I want to cook everything
I just started and fought the first fight...HOLY FUCKING SHIT THE BATTLE MUSIC IS SO FUCKING GOODTHE FUCKING NONSENSICAL CHANTING SHIT THAT EVENTUALLY SEGUES INTO THE ORCHESTRATHIS IS SO FUCKING GOODSOOOOO FUCKING GOOD I LITERALLY FELT THE HYPE WELLING UP IN MY CHEST JUST FROM THE MUSIC KICKING IN
>>498332941I've got time off in 2 weeks so at least I'll have some free time to go through it more. I've got so many fucking games to play through I can't wait. I haven't even finished SMTVV yet.
I feel like Atlus has been making the sprinting visual effects worse with every new game, my eyes are suffering.
>chocolate mommy is constantly confiding in you despite having trust issues and hating everyone>no romancewhat the FUCK did atlus mean by this?!
i really like the game but man i wish the visuals were just a little bit better. some of these scenes are lacking impact because of the poor graphics and i'm not a graphics whore at all, i play a bunch on switch.
>>498333245Dope
Just started this game like 30 mins ago. It looks like the interview questions determine my base stats and growth possibly. Do I go strength or magic? Which will be better for me in the endgame?
>>498333354MetaphorFix on github by Lyall.Drag and drop the files into METAPHOR root, open the .ini, change the "DISABLE DASH BLUR" setting to "Enabled = true".
>>498333382I genuinely don't know why this game doesn't have romance in the slinks. Like I know people constantly bring it up and people are probably sick of hearing about it but it genuinely does not make sense. Romance would be more fitting in this game than it would even in Persona itself. The game just perfectly sets up the scenarios where it would make sense and yet doesn't? I really want to know what they were thinking with that decision.
huh, i didn't expect the smart trickster to get fucked over
>>498333245The monk chanting is pretty cool.
Holy fucking shit I didn't expect they just behead Joanna like that
>>498333576luckevery single point
>>498333625Thank fucking god, you're a saint anon
>>498333576mag is good early on but i heard endgame phys builds are better
Jesus Maria sl is fucking sad
>>498333723There was realistically no other outcome there alas and everyone kind of knew what was gonna happen...
>>498333429yeah... it seriously looks like a PS3 game and im honestly baffled by the poor performance on modern consoles. i think if they put the effort in putting this on switch you could overlook some of the ugly parts of this game
I just got to Drakongrace. The music started playing. Oh man. Fuck you Atlus give me another EO game.
>>498333652Likely because people have been asking for gay romance and they'd have to put that in nowadays, but hashino isn't gay so he removed the thing entirely.
>>498333686wait until you get to his next bond scene
I keep playing all day every day instead of studying..
>>498333652i like gallica and i like hulkenburg and i want to fuck the both of them but i dont want to date them in my game. Save that for the highschool girls and not my fantasy comrades.
>>498333245did you soiface over it?
how is the trannylation?
>>498333921You know what I actually kinda respect that. Lowkey based. I definitely wouldn't want a Rune Factory 5 scenario. I guess I can at least be satisfied with my headcanon since the game absolutely does give you all the set up for the romance even if it's lacking the payoff.>>498334035A king needs a queen anon.
>>498333883>i think if they put the effort in putting this on switch you could overlook some of the ugly parts of this gamekinda crazy they didnt. normally ill talk shit about switch games but i might as well be playing one now visually. theyre missing a lot of sales
>>498333723I mean, what did you expect?It would be the same in real life, nobody forgives that shit even in modern times.
>>498334082yes tears welled up in my eyes and my mouth was like :OOOOOO unironically
rainy weather = kino
>>498333245This is how I felt when they first revealed it in that trailer
>>498334382I liked the vocal OSTs in this game. I'm not sure if I'd say this game's OST is better or worse than Persona games or SMT but it's definitely hype. Also really unique sounding with the vocals. Such a bizarre sound from that main battle track.
This pink donkey is edging me bros, when does she receive correction?
>>498334556I like it too, it sells that it's an weird, alien setting and world. even though it's not in the slightest
>brigitta starts selling charge/concentrate igniters at rank 7well shit, there goes all my money
>>498333245kek I practically replaced the BGM with p5's or sometimes SMTV's one, don't blame they're just that kino
based strohl
>>498333652Metaphor is kinda like SMTV where practically everyone wants to fuck you but it doesn't go anywhere.
>>498334157Typical of a sega game.Jp: That monster isn't your son, he's already goneEn: You loved your son, not that monster. Your child... is already dead.
>>498334724Genuinely surprised at the level of nuance this game shows with these topics. It's fucking night and day with Persona 5 that felt like it was written by a 12 year old.
>>498334724I feel that the world described in the book coming off as a utopia even to the players is most definitely on purpose
>>498334176IDK if you were able to date girls in this game youd definitely get tons of waifu faggotry like what /pg/ is and im glad that we dont have that here. i think its for the better that they didnt do romance stuff in metaphor. I'm indifferent to hulkenberg or gallica saying they love me, the rare blushing portraits is enough for me.
>>498332578One of my favorite moments from the EN VA. The delivery was quite funny.
>>498333869Are you sure they weren't just going to talk about how she saw the light and there for should just get to walk away feeling sorry about it?
I feel like if they just approached NVIDIA about DLSS they would've had it implemented in like 15 minutes. What's up with Japanese companies and PC ports?
>>498335183I don't need full dates and events but maybe a choose your own waifu at the ending like Tales of Symphonia. I'd just like the payoff.
>>498335230>dub
>>498335230>dubfaggotreddit is that way
>>498333652Because nobody wants to date an Elda. Filthy, filthy Elda.
>>498335323yeah that wouldve been a nice touch, oh well.
>>498335265Maybe in a different game but considering they have been killing people left and right by this point...
I was kind of annoyed that catherine wasn't a playable character but she's really busted assist.
>>498335230>dee to the you to the bee
>>498335372>>498335326
>>498334724he really is the good noblethere is a reason we are saving the royal lineageA KINGSLAYER DESERVES ONLY DEATHhe should get his shit sorted out, claim his rightful inheritance, rebuild his house and help his people
>>498335326>>498335372I like all the dumb accents, sue me.
why am i not allowed to play on a language i understand?
Reminds me that Dragon Quest 11 when it got rereleased actually added all of the female characters as love interests you could choose to be with at the end. Wouldn't surprise me if this game got the dating shit cockblocked out until they rerelease it.
>>498335695Nobody said that.
>>498335078maybe in japan the book's utopia doesnt strive that differently from their reality over there. But over here in the US of A it sure seems like a utopia to me!
>>498335695You're allowed, but we're going to mock you for that.
is it just me or do the s links kind of suck ass in this game? strohls is okay, brigitta is pretty good, marias is also pretty good, everyone elses is fucking garbage it seems except maybe alonzo but i only have him at rank 3
Has anyone tested the stacking bonuses yet? Like for this, would having multiple of the same lineage stack additively? 20% extra bonus per lineage?
When this game gets an enhanced version in a few years the new girl will be inspired by Catherine and she’ll be a physical fighter that drops giant stone blocks, mark my words. And your quest with her will be climbing a really big tower in a dream world.
I always thought Rikki from XC1 would be my favorite "mascot" party member but Heismay is the fucking man great Japanese VA too
What is /vg/ opinion so far im out of loop. I'm fighting that necromancer on hard I really do not enjoy it. I'm trying different strategies and I don't I can beat him without grinding.
>>498335486>>498335326>>498335372brown
>>498335790ok but why?
>>498335714thats gonna be locked for the switch 2 port for MetaphorS: Refantazio Definitive Edition and atlus will let people get the new content via a free update!
Is there any place with respawning mimics though? I need somewhere to steal blessed water from and the red chonky mimics don't give it either.
>can't choose a queenINEXCUSABLE
>>498335014I wish they didn't remove kamoshida's backstory where he only became like that because everyone enabled him.
>>498335891that's been the hardest fight in the game for me so far, I'm like 10 hours further now
>>498335695the dubs have always been good in atlus games, but as im sure you know a majority of anons wish they were so desperately japanese that the simple thought of a dub sends them into a frenzy
WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK THE FUCKING STUPID GUIDE I READ SAID COULD CHOOSE COSTUMES AND WHATNOT WHEN I REACH AKADAEMIA I FUCKING DID AND ALL I GOT WAS A BOND I JUST NEED TO SEE IF THIS FUCKING PIRATED DLC FUCKING WORKS HOLY SHIT FUCKING STUPID GAME LET ME CHOOSE EQUIPMENT/OUTFITS ALREADY OH MY GODDDDDD
>>498336229I saw a bit of the dub and every voice actor was stellar. I'm still playing it in JP. Just because I want to play this Japanese game in Japanese doesn't mean I have anything against the dub. You faggots have such a persecution complex.
>>498335430I was worried. >>498335891You have to focus on the zombies. Item scrolls also help since they do flat damage and you might as well use them when you can.
>>498336229>the dubs have always been good in atlus gamesDid you forgot they had to redo the ENTIRE DUB of Persona 5 because it was shit tier? We even got the japanese dub for free as an apology.
>>498336229You would be the type of faggot who would cry if a movie set in Zambia had all white people.
>>498336365before the ps3 release you mean?
>>498335896are you trying to say i'm the protagonist? thanks bro.
>>498335891i beat him with knight, warrior, and seekeri primarily attacked necromancer with warrior and kept buffing him with seeker, then i (almost) one-shot the zombie with the heavy light damage synthesis skill.Keep doing that until he dies and keep healing up and remember positioning and you win!
>almighty damage>high crit chance>costs a minuscule amount of money instead of manaSo unless bosses later on just turn into Lucifer and gain an almighty resistance, how is this not the strongest class available?
>>498336463I think it was, but I remember the Ryuji trailer with the guy saying "MY NAME IS REEOOYEE SUCKMYTOE".
How does one engage in a sexual relationship with a fairy anyways?
>>498335805It's a persona game but strictly downgraded. People weren't trolling. It's got a fantasy setting and a redundant job system.
>>498336319You're so fucking poor its disgusting.
>>498336769The fairy cabal don't want you to know this but there's a secret fairy dust that shrinks you down to their size for as long as you like
>>498336769You should watch Dragon Pink.
There has not been a JRPG ever where the female VAs weren't insufferable in the English dub. Some of the male VAs are great but dubs can literally never capture that same feel of the female ones.
>>498331940Eupha!
>>498335891The starter mc class has a heavy phys light attack, what is so hard about it?
>>498336769you give her cunny the nastiest cunnilingus
>>498336229i dont like hearing english american girls say very japanese names constantly, it bothers me and doesnt sound right. id rather deal with a unfitting translation + the original japanese audio. you're just a gay nig
>>498336769Have her rub her tiny body up and down your penis.
>>498332567When you go into Akademia with the DLC enabled, and past the story point it unlocks, More will be like "hey a box of stuff appeared, feel free to take it" and then there's a treasure chest on his couch with all the shit.You don't need to restart the game for it, it will just pop into an existing save.
>>498336723Because other class has better stat and you can freely transfer skills?
>>498336898>>498337031Online misogyny hasn't been cool since you lot lost the culture war in 2016 :)
I’m really trying to finish the cathedral in one run as per usual but I’m just tapped out on mp
everyone in this game has extremely prominent tear ducts
>>498337321If it was misogyny then I wouldn't like the Japanese dub female voice acting either you single digit IQ retard. Try harder with your bait.
What's the logic behind one super long first main story dungeon but the second one is split up into multiple shorter ones? They did it in P5 too, so this is definitely a conscious decision.
>>498337427You individuals with 4chan political beliefs fetishize Japanese women so obviously you won't have a problem with them.
>>498337427do not give this nigga the (You)'s bro
>>498337601helps the pacing with the demo prerelease
>>498337772I was about to reply to him saying that I have no issue with female voice acting in non Japanese games or Japanese games that aren't overly anime but yeah you're right.
>>498337601In general the end of main story chapter dungeons are pretty long with multiple magla hollows I feel
I can't tell if this game is meant to be clowning on Utopia or a love letter to itThomas More is isolated and cooped up in his own library dreaming about a fictional paradiseThe book of our world that the protag has acts as if we're all equal and all strife has ended despite that not being the case, as if making fun of More's idea in Utopia.
>majora mask's magic turns on his own loyal servantuh, then im guessing he didnt even really give a shit about louis killing him too?
>>498337978almost like he's a real ruler who believes in the good nature of his people
>>498337103what is the story point? when you get back to grand trad from the wilderness and the mines or whatever the fuck???
>>498338220I kind of wonder how much would the story have changed if the guy didnt die....
>>498337937I like idea that they think of the utopia of one tribe being this completely free of conflict paradise while being ignorant to the truth because to them our would probably WOULD be a utopia relative to how it actually is in theirs. Not really so much clowning on the idea but I think it it more in that people should always chase and strive for greener pastures no matter how unreasonable it is. Like they talk about our world as an impossibility just as we do for an idea of a utopia we could conceptualize.
Kek Junah is a slut
>>498338642That doesn't mean they fucked retard. You don't fuck Elizabeth in P3.
>>498338642Don't trust anyone in the entertainment industry.
>>498331940Jeez why is the third dungeon so short?
Beat the tower during storm but it was hell, had to skip mimics and all the big ogres, losing some xp and loot.Boss was "doable" by abusing the hell out of damage scrolls i had gathered since i could not get extra turns cause of the storm.
>>498338725She's used goods and she's a harlot and needs to be stoned to death.
>>498338725Didnt both Louis and Junah claim they definitely didnt fuck
>>498338785I think it's because you have more side content at that point. Also P5 dungeons are far too long for their own good.
>>498338642He has really shitty taste in waifus.
>>498338884Just did this myself, strange decision to make the boss weaker than the big Ogre mobs. Pugilist/Pugilist/General/Wizard destroyed the boss and mimics just fine even in storm.
>>498338725>I'm rather naive to the ways of your world, and there must have been many times when I behaved quite strangely... >However... even I understand the significance of inviting a gentleman into his own room. >If you wouldn't mind... I'd love for you... to guide me through it.I'd love for you to explain what you think this would imply.
I just got Heismay, and he's really cool. Did he really mindbreak some people? Why?
>>498339137obviously just a heart to heart conversation like you have with every male social link
>>498339238He didn't. What mindbroke people is teddy.
>>498339238Keep playing
>>498339069Dont have general or pugilist yet so was not much of a option.Did the end boss with Wizard mc spamming random element, faker for dekaja, magic knight for aoe heal then everyone who isnt busy just spammed consumes
>>498338642Hulkenberg goes into your room too but I don't see you calling her a slut.
>>498339472Being a slut for me is fine.
The overall waifu quality might be worse than P5 which is honestly incredible.
Someone please tell me Catherina joins the party at some point I need notPower on my team badly
>>498332453I did it at level ~35 on Hard. It took fucking forever and was entirely reliant on keeping my team fully buffed and the worm fully debuffed. It also took me spending two Magla Injectors on Hulkenberg (who was my mage and the only person doing any real damage in the fight).
>>498339726P5 has great wiafus though. One of the few games with choosable love interests that I genuinely couldn't decide. Though I ended up going Makoto on my first playthrough, Futaba on my 2nd playthrough and then Kasumi in Royal.
kino achievement
Is the attack power of a weapon relevant for skills or is it like Persona and it only affects basic weapon attacks?
>>498331940>Peak player count of 85K on Steam.Where are the idiots that says this game is going to flop lmao/
>>498339726name game(s) with better waifu quality than the persona games
>>498339843Anon..... I'm sorry......
>went STR route>the first few party members are all physical attackersDid I fuck up?
>>498340067Fire Emblem, Baldurs Gate, Fallout, Dragon Age, Pokémon
>>498340067NTA but Unicorn Overlord was the hardest decision I've ever had to make for choosing a wife at the end.
i suddenly feel like im doing fuckall for damage in these side dungeons in the 4th city
This 30 round Coliseum thing is a pain in the ass. It'd be fine if it didn't have those big orc fuckers but those guys just take forever at ~35. I'll probably just come back for it later.
>you can one shot Xanath with assassinateok
>character designs are too shit to have pornThe absolute state
>>498339726I don't think I liked anyone in P5 except maybe hifumi, and only because she's autistic
>>498339973I've been playing for awhile now and I don't think I've consulted her 5 times
>>498340163>Fire Emblem, Baldurs Gate, Fallout, Dragon Age, Pokémon
Are any of these worth buying? Even with the merchant money bonus the prices are kinda obscene.
Man, late joiners are really annoying to get up to speed. On one hand I have Hulkenberg with a maxed out tier 2 class and a second nearly maxed out one plus a bunch of other classes at random levels for inheritable skills and on the other I have Junah with a single tier 1 class at rank 5. Painful. I guess she's holding onto these arena gloves for a long ass time.
>>498340424You need to buy all of them to advance her rank at some point.
>>498339726Dude what. P5 has Lavenza, the best wife out of all SMT games.
>>498340163>FEfair>BGHAHAHAHA>FOMeh>DAMeh>PokemonHuh?
>>498340064People are really desperate to shit on sega titles these days
>>498340424AoE elemental effects are relegated to synth skills or really late classes for the most part, so they do have a niche of sorts. But usually if you're gonna be dealing with a crowd of enemies you're better off just setting up to use a synth skill anyways...
So is the desert like mementos where I should wait until I have a buncha requests before going?
>>498340064It sold less than FFXVI which was a PS5 exclusive for a while.
DQ11 had great waifus
>>498340208>betraying scarlet for the elf whores/witch hag/stinky dogwomenKys
>>498340460Log off god damn
>>498340619No, it's just another dungeon like any other. Pretty small too.
>>498333652>The game just perfectly sets up the scenarios where it would make sense and yet doesn't?Like what? I think persona has rotten your brain if you're incapable of reading dialogues without thinking "ok, when do I get my romance (which is literally nothing but a blush and a daisuki that's never relevant again).Moreover, there's no holidays in the game like Christmas or Valentines to make it worth shit
>>498340460Your hero incenses bro? You dumped them all already?
>>498340785Are you stupid or are you baiting me right now? I can't tell.
>>498340460You could potentially 4x powerlevel someone's archetype by putting everyone else on mastered jobs, and funneling all their leaves to the newbie.
>>498340619NoLater on once you have your landship, you can still do social activities even if you go to a dungeon. No day is truly wasted in this game.
whats doing a double hit on enemies ? they're like glowing yellow/light ish when I do a hit there's a secondary hit right after
>>498340825I used a lot of them to get various inheritables on the rest of the cast. I still have a few but nowhere near enough to get Junah much. I guess her whole mask bullshit means she doesn't NEED other classes that much though.
>>498340881Well? Where's your "setup for romance"? You're probably an early game retard that doesn't know that Gallica is literally meant to be your Queen unironically and all the Fairies keep mentioning it when the MC fuses with the prince.
>>498341151>character literally confesses she likes you romantically>"where is your setup for romance"Ok so you're baiting me.
god i want a fairy onahole
>>498340650>established IP vs. new gameYeah?
full-body fairy naizuri..........
>>498341230And? What would it matter in this game? How would that not matter as romance in your head unless you get some shitty half-assed date?
>>498340650The fact that you had to use fucking FFXVI which was one of the most excessively advertised games of it's year is telling. The marketing budget alone of that game probably cost more than everything that went into making this game.
>>498340424holy and dark are pretty good for earl game face roll but cause of 18mp you gotta mage grind in between when serious farming
>>498340650Metaphor still looks like P5 though, FFXVI must've been super expensive to make
>>498341564What point are you even trying to make here? You asked where is the setup for where the devs could potentially add romance and I told you that the characters are written such that it wouldn't be out of place for maybe like a 9th slink to be added capping off the relationship. If you can't see that this game could have very easily had romance with barely any changes you might be the one with brain rot here. Sounds to me like you're just one of those faggots that seethe endlessly about Persona cause it lives rent free in your head.
Is there any point to the popularity rankings? It's not like the game is going to let you break into the top 20 and become unkillable.I know the stones give you more daily MAG the higher your rank is, but is that it?
Fabienne wouldn't be a single mother for long if I was there
I can’t even find love in a fantasy universe….thanks atlus…
>>498341917Wait, the stone gives you mag daily?
>>498340685>betraying your true childhood friendShame on you.
What difficulty are you playing on?
>grind a red respawning crystal for a bit for some money>move on>ambush an enemy>its two hard hitting tanky motherfuckers>get greedy on the first turn and try to kill the 2nd one>it recovers from stun on my last hit>it pulls a mot on my ass and turns 1 press turn into fucking 4>wipes my party>autosave was before i started grinding mobs for moneythis is what i deserve i guess, fuck this game
>>498342175Normal but it's super easy so far, probably even easier than P5R so I might bump it up to hard.
>>498342131Yes. You don't even need to check it every day; it'll save up any MAG you don't collect for next time you check.
jesus christ why
That turn limit shit in 3rd castle was fucking bullshit, especially with the guy that spam aoe daze and attack every single turn, it's literally just restart fiesta if he landed a crit
>>498340650I don't understand how people struggle so much with making an equatable comparison like games with different budgets having different sales goals required to be successful, or sales over "a while" being compared to launch day.
I miss baton pass bros...
>>498342571What would be a comparable budget game? Yakuza 8 or something?
>>498342057I want to marry her and impregnate her and raise a child together and subtly encourage her to favor her real child over Maria and also be emotionally distant with Maria myself.
>>498341917according one of dev videos it is only for flavor and has no major gameplay effects
Yukari fairy has stolen my heart...
Stop trying to procreate with fairies.
>>498343076Hmmm no
>pugilist learns strike boost>also its best attack is a pierce attacki want to like this lineage but its fucking dogshit, trash synthesis skills, trash skills, FUCK
>>498343040You must handle fairy gently.
>>498343423Of course I'd be gentle with my fairy wife
>game asks specifically for my name>put "Tatsuya"Am I autistic
>>498342879That's kind of good to know. Your success popularity wise seems to be a given considering otherwise your adventure and story would have ended then and there
Do you get anything cool like the dragon sword for killing this thing or should I not bother?
>>498343862You get a bikini costume for Hulk.
Yeah, I'm playing on storyteller mode. Yes, I'm based.
>early in the game, see my strength stat is much higher than magic, like 12 to 4>ok, start dumping level up bonuses in magic and sometimes strength>friend tells me that my stats were like this because of the personality test early on>now I'm stuck with a MC that has middling strength and magic and won't ever be good at one thingShould I just restart? This is retarded.
>>498343862F O E
I forget, what does Luck actually do again?
I wish I could switch out archtypes mid battle and have the characters yell out "Archtypu!"
>>498339726Waifu quality:P5 > P3 > P4 >Metaphor
>>498343958I'm playing on hard btw. Yeah, I'm better than you btw.
Just throwing this out there, but it's entirely possible that Gallica is actually an old man.
>>498344420P4 has better girls than P3.
I'll be so fucking pissed if Gallica ends up betraying me and becoming the final boss.
>>498344690I disagree
>>498339726The only good girl in Metaphor is the fairy so yeah
>>498344837I reject your disagreement.
>>498344690P4 has the worst romanceable girls between 3-5
>>498344060The starting stat spread doesn't really matter. It'd be retarded to restart the game over just that. You can easily make your dude STR or MAG focused by dumping your level up points into either one. Besides which, hybrid STR/MAG is a perfectly fine build.
>>498344314Crit chance, multi hits, items drops.According to a friendly Homo.
>make all the women meh>make so many of these menThey're appealing to the gays for this one, I seeIt's working
am i the only one noticing a pretty big difficulty spike after getting the 5th party member? the game seems to really want you to make use of the fact you can swap party members in and out
>P4 good girlsChieMarieYukikoRise>P3 good girlYukari
>>498344060Anon you're going to be swapping job constantly and making your MC do a bunch of different shit. I'd sooner restart for hyper focusing on one stat than I would spreading them out. You SHOULD spread yourself between STR and MAG.
is metaphor's story based on the monomyth
>>498344948It feels weird to me that this game feels like it's simultaneously attempting to appeal to Persona fans while also alienating them.
>>498333245I remember my first Strange Journey
>>498344060The MC is intended to be a str/mag hybrid, and that choice was just that you started out with 3 Str and 7 mag. Spending your level up bonuses that way is fine, you're not gonna be gimped.
>>498344842I kinda wish they doubled down her being the canon choice cause she's so much better than anyone else it's unreal.
>>498345223Is your MC supposed to just be that much better than everyone in stats?
>>498345037>Chiet>Goodlollmao even
What would her feet smell like?
paladin or dark knight?
>>498345509Everytime you master a archetype you get a statboosts, i am assuming the player gave all the archetype exp items to mc and all the consumables that give stats so he has way more free stats.
>>498345676my cum
>>498345676What would they taste like?
>>498345717They don't got Dark Knight in this game dude lol this ain't FF14.
>>498345759You could put both her feet in your mouth easy dude...
>>498345762yes it does
>>498345762you're right, its ff4
Brigitta's english VA is pure sex.
>>498346015>its ff4Its FF5.
>>498343862Take it for me, dont bother, you only get a health incense out of it
>>498344314>>498344842Does Luck have any impact on status skills and the one-hit kill attacks?
>>498345509MC gets some exclusive stat bonus opportunities, like bathing with different salts to give +2 to a stat, and using the toilet on Idlesdays to get +1 luck.
>>498346337Luck helps you fuck the fairy
Anyone know how much prowler's pipe boosts steal success compared to raw agility?
>>498346337a Homo Tenta in game told me it affects multi-hit attacks rolling higher amounts
>>498343862I never once fought this I thought It'd be an instant game over.
Imagine how tight Gallica is...
I am tired of this little shit.
>>498346749Someone on a older thread said it gave some consumable for perma stat increase.
>>498346930A Health Incense yes, its not worth it
Elf sex or fairy sex?
>>498347117Rhoag sex with Brigitta
>>498344918>>498345059>>498345223Thanks bros, happy to hear that. Will keep going then.
>>498347117Halfbreed (Ishkia/Rhoag) sex
>off-kilter engineer tropeYeah, I'm thinking kino, I love Neuras, this lunatic
>>498340367she is your replacement for a guide, i always consult to check if i got all sidequests and events
>>498346912>Waah, waah, everyone I love dies, waah, waah, racism sucks, waahYeah, I get it, get some new material already.
>>498347634I dislike how you have dialogue options to be rude to him.
>tfw (You) are the Lucifer boss
>>498347727Neuras is a sloppy drunk and says shit like "bally"; he deserves to be ruded at.
I hate this cheap fight
>decided to full spec into mag at the beginning of the game even though str is always better in smt>found cool archetypes like merchant and gunner that already dont need magPlease tell me it gets better later on or that there is a respeccing option...
Just finished the grand cathedral, was suggested to go get a bounty, but instead of that I hung out with Hulkenberg and Brigitta.The next day the team mentioned that a group of people died to the bounty mark.Did I miss out on meeting new people, or was that just the game highlighting the bounty?
>>498348071Just highlighting the bounty. You can't lose anything by putting off bounties unless they have a deadline.
Gallica living condom
>>498342216another metaphor moment
>>498348171Whew, that's goodNot sure if I can miss out on meeting people or notI should cycle more than three save slots just in case
>>498347948wait what? that's it? that's the 3rd "dungeon"? wtf atlus
>>498346602idk but ive never had to use steal more than twice in a fight with it on so ive just kept it on
where are the gallica doujins
>>498346602does it matter? just restart the fight lol
>>498348468Wait for the Metaphor gacha
So apparently enemies are stronger during rain? Does it mean I should do dungeons and shit when the weather is bad? The game hasn't told me about this yet.
>>498348830They're stronger during bad weather and you get more xp but you don't get extra turns for hitting weaknesses/crits.
>>498348967why do they insist on making magic worthless shakemysmh
>>498348967Doesn't sound worth it if it's merely for more xp.
>>498348830It's only when extreme weather comes into play it'll tell you when that happens. It gives you more xp but it gets rid of your extra turns. The tradeoff is only worth if you feel like you can deal with enemy attacks.
>>498349176it makes for a fun challenge desu, things dont feel impossible but require you to actually use your brain and try different strategies
Love the combat in this game but the field battles suck massive donkey balls. Shit's so janky. I wish it wasn't in the game and I could just smack the enemy once to start combat.
It might sound a bit weird but I'm glad there's no "butts of the joke" party members like Junpei or Ryuji in this game. It feels a bit insincere when writers sacrifice party cohesion for cheap comedy.
>>498349505Hard agree. I fucking hated that shit.
>>498342454Hero merchant is easy mode
>Try every element I have to find the enemy's weakness>Press L1 when I find it>Attack their weakness from the start of the fight with no downsideThis is so stupid
>>498350132*L3
>>498349505this game has better writing than anything atlus made in a really long timethe plot is coherent, characters actually use their brain and are fairly deepI also find incredibly funny how subhumans were using heismay's lines about the book to parrot how woke the game is but turns out he's openly racist against beast people
>>498350132just don't use it?
Junah is ________
I got a couple seeds from random places but there doesn't seem to be a place to plant them in the runner. when do I unlock it?
Really not enjoying the combat 10 hours in bros. Just feels trial and error
>>498351356On the way to the third city I think.
can every atlas rpg from now on please have a sexy talking onahole instead of the usual mascots please, thank you
Obviously this game doesnt hold a candle to P5R, but I do enjoy the atmosphere and some of the music.
>>498349902it was more about how even with a 40% discount how much shit costs
>>498350132games need to bring back L+R+Start+Select to soft reset to title screen instead of this soulless stuff
Does anyone else find the UI repulsive and hard to read or is it just me? I'm not used to Atlus games tbf
>all it needed was for leakers to reveal that Gamefreak wrote Typholosion into a pedophile and 90% of Metaphor doomposting stoppedWe didnt need to wait for Veilguard to come out afterall
what is the difficulty curve on hard mode like?it feels quite easy at the beginning, where i'm used to most rpgs to be very difficult at the beginning and then become easier as you get more options. dunno if it's just undertuned or it will ramp up
I've spent half an hour grinding money on that big group of enemies in the abandoned tomb. Are any of you going to stop me?
Is there a mod yet to disable the blur when sprinting? Holy fuck I hate it.
>>498352932Those fucking big goblins kept ambushing me, causing me to redo it 2 times. It was easy once I figured out their attacks are delayed.
>>498353084There has been since day 1. Can't remember the name but just type in Metaphor ultrawide fix github and it will probably pop up.
>>498353084metaphorfixIt fucks up the 2nd dungeon though, so you need to remove it for that part only.
>>498340424its terrible that you cant view the description of these spells
>>498352920Every single random encounter feels harder than any other JRPG boss I've vsed. You either kill them or die in a turn.
Guys, going all LUCK is a fucking mistake. The Luckgawd posters fooled me. I'm at 30 Luck and my character doesn't have any lower of a chance of getting status ailment like sleep than my other party members. I do no damage which also makes the Synthesis skills that use my main character not powerful.
>>498342454more like why do you have so much money
>>498353194Goblins?
I literally cannot argue against Roger.He is just fucking correct.
>>498346376>and using the toilet on Idlesdays to get +1 luckthat only worked once for me
Lossless Scaling seems to work well with this I'm not seeing any significant or noticeable ghosting really and it helps me out a lot with consistent frames considering my CPU is from 2015 and I have a 10 series card. In some areas and at times I was getting some frame drops. But with LS I can run the TAA mod and upped shadow resolution and other bells and whistles.I just fucking wish there was a better implementation of TAA it adds a kind of... moving warpy effect to text.
>>498335837Tested this specific one with 3 merchants (so one user merchant and two bum merchants scratching their asses while MC used the item), a 20 MP heal turned to 30 MP as opposed to 24 MP so either it’s a flat additive 15% per bonus stack or there’s some weird diminishing return
>>498347715lmao this, not trying to be a heartless bastard and i've felt with her the first few times but the shtick got kinda boring and felt like easy sympathy farm bait after that
>>498353648On god? I'll buy it right now if its that good.
>>498352726This is the most beautiful UI of all time anon
>>498353387Not everyone is built for the luckchad lifestyle>>498353539I thought of the wrong place there will be a better spot to farm in later>>498353586Only works on Idlesday
so what's the deal with this little guy?
>>498332265Why I can't get to answer with "It would be nice" or "Your taste is bad".
I need more Gallica fan art please friends
>>498353830An informant later lets you buy from him
>>498352920I'm about 15 hours in on hard and it's definitely challenging. Even trash mobs can wipe your whole party and the enemies getting an extra press turn makes it pretty tough. Maybe it gets easier once you get past mid game but so far, I'd say it's been fairly difficult throughout
>>498353796Yes, Lossless Scaling is very good and has revitalized my outdated system's performance.I mean it is only 5 dollars but I'm a brokie so I just pirated it.
HOW DO ATLUS KEEP SUCKERING ME INTO BUYING THEIR DOG SHIT EVERY SINGLE TIME
>>498353825Gonna be honest, the letters and the constrats genuinely hurt my eyes.
alonzos questline was fucking kino and really unexpected
>>498353956Only ambitious RPG creators.All other JRPGs are slop with no real value, so Atlus doing cheap references with some meaning puts them above 99% of their competitors.Look at the enemies, you only have slop like FF16
>>498353387Wait so what does Luck even get you for investing in it? The NPCs in game make it sound like Agility handles most chance stuff like evasion.
>>498353956go play trails instead haha...
Any tips? I'm doing the necro dungeon and just dying constantly. I seem to have no HP and do no damage. All I can do is test for weaknesses and reset with L3 which feels cheesy and boring. I usually get wiped in one or two turns and don't want to head back to town since I'll potentially lose the time gated content? This is the hardest game I've ever played
>>498354012He's literally me
>>498354160Is FF16 even a rpg
>>498354315Its pretty telling that now even medieval JRPGs are all about teenage crews inspired by Persona.Persona saved JRPGs, but at the cost of basically being the only good ones
>>498354346Yes you fucking retard.
>>498354302It handles crit and item drops
>>498352920>>498353926I'm like an hour and a half in playing on Hard and the most experience I have with JRPGs is mostly dabbling but never finishing anything, beating Yukiko in P4 (PS2), Pokemon games, and dying in the first dungeon in SMT IV. It started easy but is slowly ramping up a little bit now with introduction of status effects and troublesome shit.Ironically I kind of get fucked the hardest by overworld shit. Like those fire snakes in the mines are a fucking bitch with their stupid tail swipe having deceptive range and catching me off guard and then the ability to burn you in battle (and the extra turn doesn't help).I look forward to wiping on the fucking necromancer dude I've heard about.Thank you for subscribing to my blog.
>>498354346No, but neither was mass effect 2 and that was praised to high heaven. Being an rpg doesn't make a game good or bad automatically.
>>498354386It doesn't feel like one though
>>498354375Sure bud.
I thought this poor dog boy was an actual dog because of his shirt color...
>>498354615I'd be racist against that thing too
>>498354535Thanks for proving my point.The sad reality is that Atlus are the only company making good RPGs now. I can mock them a lot, laught at their stories and lame subversions...but they at least have their own charm,which is more of what I can say of their competitors who are trying hard to chase other trends
>>498354652The funny thing about so much fantasy racism is that IRL people would fucking love beast people.
any way i can get the sound to be louder without getting gayware like FxSound? PLEASE help me.
Why did the enemy War Wulhas get to have 3 attacks in a row when only having half turn and without hitting any weaknesses?
Why do retards keep calling wanting to unite people of different tribes woke?Japan hard a hard on for this kind of thing since the warring states period after it got united under one shogun.That's literally what they are referencing, except using fantasy tribes instead of clans.
>>498354861not atlus' fault you damaged your hearing
>>498354012He was kinda pathetic ngl
>>498354409Does it affect money/MAG? If it's really just drops and crits that sounds like shit, especially since crits won't help much if you have no STR. Apparently even Thief for example scales off Agility not Luck. Does any class synergize with Luck?
>>498354997im playing fuckin gurumin right now and its at this volume and its AS LOUD as metaphor bro. Their shit is just really low volume for some reason
>>498354861get better headphones or an amplifier? ear doctor?

How do people find these games chill??? The time gated content is anxiety fuel for me as someone who enjoys taking it slow and being a completionist
>>498355193this is so generic, it looks like someoned asked chatgpt to write a bad review about the game but the AI doesn't know anything about it, so you get this as a result
>Go to abandoned tomb cuz I want to get blue hair guy's archetype before the heismay quest >Get my fucking ass reamed mercilessly, literally not possible for me at this level>Go back and do the quest for the igniter shop>0 days left so I can't redeem the quest and get the archetypeI have never been this humiliated by an Atlus game.
>>498355606pretend the content you missed doesn't exist :)
this is the best tunrb ased RPG ive ever played, i love it. i love this game.
>>498355728Glad you've finally tried your first turn based jrpg anon!
>>498355193the chatgpt devil....
>>498355682that's literally what it is
>>498355606I'm a neet so if I miss something I can play the game again if I like it enough
>>498355694Wait, do you really only get 3 days to do that dungeon and then it's gone forever?
>>498355795Nope! my first turn based rpg was persona 5 back in 2017, i actually lied, VV and this game are tied for my favorite turn based RPG's. i just wish VV's story and characters werent shite aside from dazai and yakumo
>>498355876No it's just that you gotta do Heismay as main story plot before you can go back to those.
>>498354823In Metaphor at least that’s part of the theme and specifically the book “sub”-plot, what we see in fiction we often relegate to fantasy-only so when we -think- about cat and dog people in our real world we would engrave the concept with our positive association with pets/animals, until they start speaking out against being treated like petsEveryone looks at the fantasy novel’s story and while they admire the ideals discussed, they seize up when faced with the opportunity to realize them, out of anxiety of failure or their ideal world being proven just a fantasyBrigitta’s bond series was strong because of this, anguishing while refusing to think outside the world she’d accepted until MC challenges her behavior

When is the >please be nicer to me cutscene?
>>498356145you dont need to add the "NEET" part, its shameless and you make me feel embarassed for sharing a thread with such a morally corrupt person
why are there so few white people in this game
>>498356315I mean that's your problem
>>498355606It's easier to relax and take your time with Persona because the social sim stuff is almost entirely disconnected from the dungeon crawling. Whereas with Metaphor it's a lot more intertwined. Having optional dungeons and bounties to do alongside the follower scenes and time-gated quests it's stressful as all hell if you're trying to do as much as possible.

Why do we need our own personal stats to be high enough to purify items and what not when we're having it done by someone else?
>>498356064It’s very much slow burn with a greater emphasis on the journey, traveling and planning than the overarching plot which takes the stage only after the race hits the second contest. That being said the game is incredibly comfy if you take time to talk to NPCs and read even a few blurbs in each city after major events, it really feels like a living breathing world when even the nameless NPCs grow increasingly deranged due to race or begin to apologize for writing you off on account of your tribePic related, Brilehaven has been very fun so far

>>498356646>work your life away to barely afford basic necessitiesNah lol not until its worth it
>>498355975The combat mechanics itself is actually pretty good but the over reliance on the weakness system ruins combat. I'd prefer 99% of turn based combat over this.
even the coliseum bronze rank is destroying me bros, wtf
>>498356647Because the guy that does it tells you to fuck off if you don't meet his standards for working for you.

>>498356821>but the over reliance on the weakness system ruins combatBut that's basically smt/persona
What archetype do u guys have Heismay as
Any of these worth grabbing?
>>498357087Imagination I believe
>>498357119All of them.
dumb question but do physical elemental attacks scale with magic or strength? i have them on strohl and they seem to do pretty bad damage, i recall them being good in SMTV but here they feel like ass
>leave town to go do a bounty>says it'll be an uninterrupted two-day journey>random level 25 (6 levels higher than me even after grinding) bum with no weakness screaming about old people comes in to demolish my team>spams wind spells so I switch two people to Seeker to offset damage>doesn't even matter because even my strongest snyth spells don't even do 1/5th his health barIs this game fucking for real right now, what the fuck is this shit
>>498356821>the over reliance on the weakness system ruins combat.im playing hard and i just got to the second town and i probably exploited weaknesses 50% of the time throughout this game, usually i just attacked with skills that werent resistant and that did heavy damage. People often call SMT/Persona games "simon says" with their press turn system but you could ignore weaknesses in many of these games and be fine if you have a good strategy.
>>498357281lol get dunked on *whooosh*
>>498357281>random level 25 (6 levels higher than me>what the fuck is this shitThe game is telling you to turn back, because the boss of the dungeon you're heading towards is 13 levels higher than you.
>>498356904Answer me you limp penis willies
>>498357115Thief, I just unlocked Assassin but for now I intend to have him get levels in Faker and Gunner which should complement his statline pretty well

>>498357281>all out competition for the throne >reeeeeeeee they can’t have competence checks in game >they said it would be worth free lol lmao even
>>498354302Agility is weird, you want it on Heismay for steal chance, and evasion, but all his physical stuff still scales on STR I am pretty sure.
>opera houseHow does someone just wake up one morning and go "I'm going to create fucking kino today" like that
God damn the game REALLY doesn't like giving you any kind of freedom does it? I want to do a sidequest and it won't shut the fuck up about me only having so many days to do the main storyline mission.
>>498357917Are you retarded
how are the sidequests anywaysatlus rpgs tend to wear out their welcome for me because of how fucking long they are so maybe i should avoid the sidequest brainworms this time unless they're really good....
>>498357820I don't know how they managed it either
you cannot put a room like this and expect me to not whip out merchant god this room is retarded>20k per run through>around 300 a-exp>a mimic that seems to have a really high or guaranteed chance to drop a leaf of lightyep, i beat the game.
>>498358041So far they've generic jrpg tier side quests
>gain luck from using the toiletLmao
>>498358041Go through linear dungeon and kill thing at the end, also all the items are marked on the map so you can't miss anything
>>498358041go kill this for mego buy me this item
How the fuck do you even do the solo ranked match on hard? you die in like 2 hits
Can I beat the game with all girls party
>>498358378In bronze? Didn't seem like a big deal to me but I was like 5 levels of all the bronze enemies. The gauntlet wasn't bad either
Where do A-EXP go when you are on a mastered Archetype? Gone?
>>498358449so the enemies are at level 38 and I'm at 30, yeah I think I see the problem here
>>498357447>first bounty the game feeds you after telling you to clear bounties before the next main story objective is 13 levels higher than youI couldn't turn back either, teleportation was disabled and there was no option to turn the runner around. I'm lucky I saved right before leaving, if I'd saved in the intermission between leaving and passing time my save would've been effectively bricked. This just sounds like bad game design.
Gallica is legit the only good part of the game so far kek. Atlus could release the worst jrpg of all time and yall would lap it up.
>>498356496Honestly it's a lot less stressful because there's no school time. You have some scenes that force you into situations but they aren't like every weekday.
>>498356791You should get every quest before you do it. That way you can just go through from location to location efficiently.
I LO
>>498358669I hope I did cause I am already there. I did the dungeon on the way which had a quest, and now do this thing for the sister at the front. Also its a bad weather day so more xp but I lose my weakness half turns.
>>498357281Magic Guard?
>>498357527Anon you don't use the scaling in Lossless Scaling for FPS, it'll make your game look way worse, turn that off. What you do to gain performance is use Frame Generation, the drop down on the right. LSFG 2.3 and I'm using x2 myself but you can try x3 or even x4. Click Add on the bottom left. Click Browse next to the "Filters" field and select your Metaphor.exe. Name the profile Metaphor or whatever and set the setting for it to LSFG 2.3 and x2, x3, or x4 (see what it looks like in game and determine, I'm using x2 cause that's all I really need, but might switch to x3 later maybe). Make sure your game is in Fullscreen Borderless and open. Enable Draw FPS in the settings as well at least temporarily just so you know it's working when you enable it and can see how many frames you're gaining in the top left. Click Scale, it'll count down from 5, within that countdown timer click back into your game window, a FPS reading will come up in the top left if you enabled Draw FPS and that means it's working. There'll be two numbers, left number is frame count it's genning from and right number is the framerate you're seeing on screen. You might get weird ghosting or distortions depending on the Mode you selected or how many base frames you're normally getting.TAA isn't part of Lossless Scaling it's a separate thing entirely, using Reshade.Guide on how to implement it is here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3346711766 (under the header Temporal Anti-Aliasing).
>>498358746I think there was a quest to get an item in the town but it's not that important. I found that dungeon to be kind of tough when I went there the first time.
>>498359021The quests I got in this region are>main quest>go to the dragon temple and gather items, so same location as main quest>dungeon to kill a bird>now this big tower to save this girls sister, who was still alive but she wants the notebookIf I missed a quest then the person must have been in a building

>>498359648You can skip that by using items. If you want to be boring the game lets you stick with a mastered archetype to farm xp for classes you don't want to use. >>498359123It might not have one then. I think that might have been the odd down out.

>>498356814I think NEETs tend to be morally corrupt, but not because they are not being productive, but rather because they are undermining their future self, which is, at the point of the decision in the present, another moral agent. One can be immoral without relation to other people, even as the last person on the planet. That is also why fatties tend to be morally corrupt and early cardiac problems as a consequence of their poor and hedonistic diet is just natural justice.
>>498359813nah its cool, i refunded lossless scaling and i dont want taa anymore, i have a gigaPC so ill just set the rendering scale to 200 and brute force 60fps for this game. Thanks for the hep!

Yet again the almighty damage route is bait"High crit chance" my ass, 27 luck and the enhanced crit rate and I haven't hit one in the past 10 fights, this class is only good for money farming at this rate.

>>498359990neets are just very lazy people, being lazy is bad. I get the world is shit and we are fucked no matter what but please dont be proud of being a lazy nig, its just not something to be proud of.
Can't wait for someone to get a breakdown of formulas from the files so I can see just how big of a motherfucking retard I am for putting every point in luck. I'm convinced luck is dogshit in this game.
>>498355606They've playtested this shit to death already.You won't miss content unless you do stupid shit like talk to the hooded woman every single day or quit the story dungeon every save point.
>>498360256ok well maybe they scale with both? why the fuck does a medium fire physical skill do less damage when exploiting a weakness than a basic ass medium physical skill? it makes no sense
>>498360208i actually wanted to buy it for a long time so i can make 30fps pc ports 60 fps, your post was just the final straw until i realized it didnt do TAA and i didnt want to bother with reshade. It also makes 30fps games juttery and look HORRIBLE. please dont call me a retard, thats really rude :/
>>498359990All I can do is hope the world changes in the future.
I don't think the game is for me bros, I'm already bored of the dungeons and am only doing the necro one from beginning. I hope yall enjoy it x
>>498360348There is no reason whatsoever for me to work for anything if I can avoid it because I am doomed to never have anything worth working for. I won't own a home unless I inherit it, I won't have a wife because all women are worthless whores, won't have kids because of the same reason. They're flooding white countries with shitskins and replacing us. Everything is just getting progressively worse. There is no incentive for me to contribute to your faggot ass society. I check out. Not my problem faggot you can keep working for no reason in a doomed world.

>>498331940I feel like im handicapping myself not making the MC magic based. All the initial party members are physical characters, and not having at least 1 mage feels like hitting yourself in the balls.
Gallica has so many useful quotes for 4chan posting.
When do you get the little bat moogle samurai ninja nigga? How far into the game like hour/progress wise?
>>498360589You should make your MC balanced (unlike me). You need to make Hulk a mage for later archetypes in her line anyway. There's a lot of options though. Even if they don't have a lot of magic, making someone who's not a mage into a mage can work out.
>>498360467That never happened to me. Maybe you just accidentally move someone backwards
>>498360467they scale off your currently equipped weapon too I think, if you have a sword on and use a physical = more damage than if you had a sword and cast a spell even if same damage tier and equal MAG/STR
>>498360570sir this is a wendys
>>498360785No, magic attack scales off your weapon too
Can you not manually allocate level up stats for party members? The game seemingly wants an even distribution meanwhile my MC has like 30 more Magi than any other stat.
>rank up Maria's bond to 2>do Calculus's request because he's obviously a follower and will give me an archetype (but spend more time slots)Ah well, I'm gonna do both regardless, so I may as prioritize the new goodie.
what do you guys think of the endingI rate it 7.5/10 not sad and painful enough to invest
>>498360570i know its all gone to shit and how america is self sabotaging itself and how theres essentially no hope for owning a house and all. But even in these dire times i hope you keep your morals in check either through religion or whatever else, its the only thing that will stay with you.
good, edgefags dont need anymore pandering.
>>498360896Na, game is pretty basic from an rpg perspective. Just look at the pretty colors on screen and clap.
>>498360872Oh, well disregard that I suck cocks
Whoever said A-XP grinding wasn't going to feel like a chore is a FUCKING DIRTY LIAR HOLY SHIT THIS IS FUCKING ASS >bro just grow the fruits broTHE FRUITS THAT GIVE LIKE ONE LEVEL PER???? THOSE FUCKING FRUITS?????
Am I doing something wrong or is this necromancer fight ridiculously hard? I’m currently level 15 on hard mode taking him on and I can barely get him to half health. Do I need to grind more or is there just something wrong with my strategy? And is this guy a casual filter or is the rest of the game going to be like this, need to decide if I should power through or reduce difficulty to normal. Ive played through most SMT games on hard.
>MC died after finding the meaning of lifewhy can't metaphor reach this level of kino?
>>498361190It seems good right now for me>crystal that infinitely respawns enemies, is spawning a yellow enemy that can die in 2 turns>weather is badSo I am getting about 300 per fight, and the fights could be faster if I used mana items to regenerate but I am just using Plunder Mana and talisman that regens 4 per turn.Also if you are MASTER in an archetype, every 1000 xp you put into it gives you a fruit.
When to stop leveling a stat so the contributions from archetype don't become wasted? What are the highest archetype stats?
>hear all the talk about merchant and mimic that can put you sleep and fuck you up>finally reach the quest where I can experienceYou know what? I'm not gonna use any of that advice, just to see how much I struggle.
>filters millions
>>498361205Bwo the fucking seeker has a heavy light attack. You think okumura was hard don't you?
>>498331940So is the story actually a totally new IP lore wise or is there a twist where it goes "Surprise! It was SMT and/or Persona all along!"
>>498361416why did they give him a scottish va though? Doesn't fit at all
>>498361190It depends on if you are trying to max every class or not. Speaking of classes why is summoner so powerful and fun and masked dancer so horrible. Forcing you to craft an accessory that takes up a slot was stupid. It should have been it's own category.
>>498361416>doesn't have a power up second phase halfway through the fight where he opens his eyepathetic
>>498361205It might seem like a solid strat to focus down the zombies but he'll just keep summoning them, so ignore them. Instead just have their undivided attention focused on a tank of your choice with the aggro ability, this is even better if you have it inherited on the brawler since that class resists the damage the zombies do. With clever passes you can maintain that aggro buff and keep the tank blocking while you have one person wacking Zorba. The ideal turn order is something like Aggro - Pass - Damage - Block It's fine if you have to waste a couple turns healing the tank.
>>498361490Don't think about it too hard.

>>498361641You aren't Japanese anon, kill yourself
>>498361557I focused on zombies just enough to make sure I could keep attacking. I found AOE synths and items also helped a lot.

>there is a tunnel in this spire that has 33 skeletons you can kill in one hitEZ Merchant and Mana farming. Clear it, go back up and reset at akademia and repeat.
How the fuck are you supposed to beat this giant thing after Zorba on hard mode? The thing is harder than Mem Aleph.

I gotta turn down the difficulty, bros, holy shit.I beat True Demon Nocturne on Hard with some effort but this game giving enemies a whole extra action per turn is straining my sanity.
I'm really struggling with the game bros :( Am I supposed to just try out every single move until I find a weakness and then reset the battle? I bought info from people in the city but it's only for like 30% of the enemies in the next area
I recover the gold mimics steal from me when I kill them, right?

>>498363280Might as well, i had mage equipped on strohl and i had one of those mage accessories on Pedro
This is TRULY the game of the summer.
>>498363345Stop saying this. Please play one (1) actual dungeon crawler in your life you faggots
I am playing the game on Normal and I am playing with the dub because I know too much Japanese to not ignore the blatant discrepancies between voice and script but not enough to play in Japanese.
>>498363514Okay!
please tell me mag steal is good, im running low on this shit
>>498362119Why are you so angry? this is really hilarious.
>>498363492This is literally a fall release though. Or a spring release if you're in the wrong hemisphere.
>>498363539i remember feeling this when i played neo twewy, one of these days i will lock-in on japanese and i will play every game ive ever played but in japanese.

>>498363734NTA you just can't into reading comprehension like 99% of the thread
>>498362829Try to set it up so that you'll break the shell on your first attack of a turn. Then you get the remainder of that turn + the next turn to hit the heart.If you knock it down with the last action of your turn, then you only get the next turn to attack it before it recovers.
>>498363778Bruh
Any other passives that are a must to unlock for inheriting? this one makes proccing shit so good
>Every time you get an unscathed triumph
>>498363841enjoy using a ton of xp items on strohl and hulkenberg and maybe mc.
>20 entire days to prep for infiltrating Louis's runnerGoddamn is it really going to be that much of a challenge? I remember underestimating a need to grind at the game's recommendation last time I played an RPG and I got raped, so I'm willing to take the amount of time seriously. To be honest, I'm actually kinda happy to have a good amount of time to finally dick around and level up archetypes and such.
>>498363693you fool
>>498363836I accept your concession. Back to the game
I feel like I should be able to convert mag to A-XP
I PAID 77 DOLLARS FOR THIS BUGGY SHIT??
>>498363165That's what I've been doing to the letter. But the boss shits out so much damage that it's still ridiculously hard. I've done about 20 attempts now.
>>498364239
>>498364195Im not even that anon lil bro. Im just replying to you. goodness fuck you
>>498364240do you remember that you can position? (not trying to be an asshole i kept forgetting about the positioning mechanic during early-game) also make sure to heal after every frog attack, they took like 1/3-1/2 health when you back position and guard
Can you change Junah's outfit to her songstress one she wore during her first appearance? Her default outfit looks like shit.
how do open the elevator labeled 3 in dragon temple dungeon?
does it run well on toasters?
>>498364357Why are you replying to me when I addressed the other anon lil bro? Back to the game retard
>>498364465Yes, I'm doing all that stuff. It still isn't enough. Strange Journey was babyshit compared to this.

what more efficient, leveling maxed archetypes for the hero seed or just running them normally. Got my roles set up but just the extra stats on maxed

>>498364625what kind of low performance? I'm playing on 1080p and 60 fps
>>498350132You unlock their weakness if you bought the info. Every weakness is also revealed after beating them once.>>498349473Yeah, atlus is out of their depth here. Honestly I always found their field attack janky (fucking SMT4), so it feels terrible for me
>/meta/>no one is talking about meta
>>498364812What kind of toaster are we talking about here? You likely have a pretty beefy pc if you can run this game without dipping in the city.
>gave grius my best sword and equipment>he dies>have to use strohl with basic bitch gear on hard modeok am i fucking bricked because im pissed off right now
So is the King in the Sky basically Kagutsuchi? I only ever really played Nocturne and a bit of DDS.
>>498364752Its 1000 xp either way so I assume the only difference is passives and skill inheritance passives like 20% extra item find
>>498365008the cpu is 10 years old but my gpu is a 2060, tried the demo and I can run the city after the initial desert at 60fps so I guess I'm in the clear
What the fuck do I do about MP? Not for MC obviously.
>>498365174You get everything back like 3 scenes later
>>498365174you'll get his stuff back soon
>>498365223hope you've been stocking up on dreameater moths or whatever they're called
>>498365184He has way more agency than Kagutsuchi
>>498365174Anon the rest of us are doing just fine with "basic bitch gear" on hard mode. You'll be fine. I didn't even bother with the Dragon nor the "Matador boss script" fight in the giant worm.
What the fuck, if this was Persona this would've turned into a big stupid gag and with everyone doubling down on their respective opinions by the end, people can actually grow as people in this game? I'm befuddled.
>>498364573if i remember correctly i made sure i took the egg down within one turn (perfect punch REALLY helped with this) along with some magic skill items and other non-resist skills, then i attacked the heart and when the tree arms started growing i used strohl (mage) and my protag which had the fire skill accessory and doing damage with leftover turns after breaking the egg. i used many of my fairy dust items to heal my party because the frogs did a lot of damage but thats how i essentially won the fight. oh yeah the hammer of justice synthesis skill raped his damage in this webm, i found that out towards the end though.
>>498365408You are making a big deal out of one scene.
>>498364754You sir have won the internet today.
>>498365223You swap to Mage or Wizard and farm low level enemiesThis is like 33 skeletons, so each reset is 33 mana
>>498365553I'm not making a big deal out of anything, I'm just impressed with the level of restraint the writers have been taking with this game. Scenes like this are so commonplace and every time one starts I expect the writing to slip back to the usual Persona shit and they just never do. It's genuinely refreshing.
>>498365638Nah I know how to deal with the protag getting low. I just want solutions for the rest of the party.
>>498365553There is no Junpei, Ryuji or Yosuke to be a joke character every other scene>>498365769When Mage/Wizard gains mana in the overworld battles, its mana for EVERYONE active in the party. So a run of this is 33 mana for each character, and you can find crystals that infinitely respawn enemies to farm up too in most dungeons
This game sure has it's cool moments sometimes
>>498365843Wait really? I was not paying attention if true.
>>498365358Ah neat I haven't gotten far enough in game it just kind of clicked for me, like generally.
they should make a persona game but like SMT with destroyed tokyo and loosen on the gay waifu bullcrap

So Hashino conned around 200k people to finish an Etrian Odyssey labyrinth.
I wish there was a way to quick-swap between archetypes on the field. Sometimes I wanna be on mage so I can get mana, sometimes I wanna be on merchant for money, sometimes I wanna be on a proper damage class for their passives/kits, etc. You can swap even when enemies see you and/or are chasing you so I don't understand why hot-swapping isn't a thing.
>Healer/Brawler/Knight party>fighting Zorba>have him locked in a loop where I blast the zombie with Energy Ray, taunting the zombie and healing the party back up>zombie gets a lucky crit and completely fucks everything upIt is what it is
>>498366274you're such a fucking cheater holy shit
>>498366274You can swap from the pause menu, when you unlock it. I think progress More's bond. Any faster than that, might as well just let the game autoplay for you.

>>498366274i fucking hate how switching archetypes decides to switch your gear, like yeah the weapon and armor makes sense but the helmet/gauntlets (forgot the name of that slot)? its fucking annoying, i dont want to auto swap to something just cause it has more defense, i want my auto tarukaja.
>>498366323>being smart with your archetypes is cheatingSkill issue>>498366360>>498366368I know you can swap from the menu but I think it could be a bit quicker than >Menu>Archetype menu>Character select>Choose archetypeIt'd just be a neat QoL thing I think

>>498367805yes to all
>that dude grinding to level 68 for the 4th dungeonwhat the fuck
>>498368092Let. People. Have. Fun.
I can't believe a random ass non-mainline spinoff would have so much influence on Atlus even two decades later.
>>498368182how similar is dds to metaphor?
>>498367381the mimic tear is killing yourself you retarded nigger
Bro what the fuck is this tower sidequest dungeon in the 4th zone. This place sucks ass. Doesn't help that i came here during bad weather but also this fucking tower seemed like it was in bad weather all the time. It's also four days away so you kinda just have to gamble it isn't going to be bad when you go there. I'm not burning four more fucking days to get back here but god fucking damn this is some garbage. Bad weather mechanics are the one part of this game I feel really sucks.
>thought I was over grinding by farming those enemy spawners>check the online stats>everyone 5+ levels above me in the dungeon
>>498361348I refuse to play P3 after learning MC dies at the end. Yes now you will say actually it's a really thematically fitting end and a perfect conclusion when dealing with the game's themes but I'm gonna be real I don't trust Atlus to handle something like that with any kind of emotional maturity to the point where I don't believe it would be anything more than pretentious edgy bitter sweet trite parading as being deep. P4 and P5 were enjoyable because they were relatively simple and had nice simple enjoyable happy ends. bitter sweet ends are a cop out for hack writers who can't come up with a satisfying happy conclusion.
>>498368493some shit in the fourth zone are absolutely not tested on hard mode
>>498368557i thought he died in a cool way
>>498368493Its bizarre that you can teleport to major areas cause you've been there, but you can't do it for dungeons/small towns. Arbitrary shit. Honestly if you just run past shit to this hallway>>498365638 its right below the save point and you can farm mana back and since its bad weather its also good xp/a-xp.
>>498368258The job system is basically the exact same save for the shitty hunt spells from DDS. God imagine having to hunt for mag.
God please Atlus keep the Archetype system and Synthesis skills for future games.
>>498369093Synthesis needs to come back for P6. This is so much better than theurgy.
is this doable or should i put it off til later?
>>498369346If you already beat grand cathedral then it shouldn't be a problem
>>498369093Synthesis definitely, Archetype for party member Personas, fusion system for MC
You did make use of Forgiveness Day to go on a huge shopping spree, right anon? Your waifu only respects smart consumers.
looted the mysterious treasure chest in akademia and it seemed to give me a bunch of like pre-order shit, didn't want to play with that but im wondering if that's literally it? or does More keep putting more shit in there
>>498370062It's really only a tiny starting boost especially on hard mode.
>>498360759Why balanced? Shouldn't you focus on being the best at something? Usually how it works in these games?

I thought I would come over to see if the new spam shit helped the board be more usable, and this thread seems pretty good. If you're getting those 1k exp leaves from leveling a max level archetype (which you get for getting 1k exp), doesn't that mean you can stuck with your best maxed jobs and grind out the others with no issue?
What archetype is good to max out early for the MC? Does it matter?
>Make all of Junna's masks>Don't use any of them because the accessory that reduces her team charge synergy to one turn icon is 100000x better than any of them.That mask class is such a waste. Mag versus phys in this game is a little odd. Phys can have way more damage if you get lucky with crits and charge but high magic tends to be more consistent and hits weaknesses more often. >>498371085It depends on what you want. I wouldn't neglect seeker because as lame as it seems it gets better.
>surprised no one on vee is talking about this because its literally goty >everyone tells me to go to veegee>"oh no ya don't, I know how slow and shit that place is" >been coming here for a good 3 days >people actually discussing vidya >having fun >not randomly mentioning trannies every 5 minutes out of no where >no wojaks>actual moderation I-.....is....is vee finally dead? I've been browsing since 08 and I've never been able to leave but after seeing the threads here....I might be able too.
It seems I'm a bit behind others in the thread. I should leave until I finish the game but I also want to stay here and help out the baby anons that just started.
with minimal spoilers when can i rank up alonzo's bond?
How many main dungeons? Is the game longer than P5 royale?
>>498371073Yeah it's 1 to 1
>>498371073I mean it's a lot of grinding. I personally don't like that method because it can cause you to mess up class distribution and some of those final archetypes are a headache.
>>498371551uhh... we're had like 4 days worth of good shitpost free threads. You might want to click on the "Metaphor Thread" thread and not "OMG STEAM NUMERS METAFOR LOSE DRAGOBAL WIN "
>>498371551some good /v/ threads exist, RARELY though. i like talking about yakuza games and other games on /v/ because theres not too much tranny obsession in those particular small threads
>>498371721>I mean it's a lot of grindingwell, I mean, if it's 1 to 1 gain items, then you lose nothing and gain a lot by not having to use a newer/underleveled archetype, right?
is this a fucking brick?
>>498371815just do a crit build bro
>>498371815Holy shit wtf get the merchant or gunner line asap you absolute madman
merchant seems busted as long as you have the money to drive it
>>498371805For me it's an issue of will I actually remember to distribute them evenly. Which is something I tend not to do so now I'm in this situation where I only have 2 final embodiments at the final embodiments because hulk requires the 3/4s of the mage tree, Hein requires fucking sniper and merchant. I wish they had given us clues before this.
>Forsaken tower during a rainstormdid I make a mistake?
>>498371815>putting points into luckTake a shit every Idlesday for a free Luck point but otherwise its a useless stat. Better off making food to give the entire party higher crit chance for 3 turns
what in the actual fuck
whatever you search, youtube hits you with the biggest spoiler videos it can, so i rather ask here. For 08/16 where they 'ease' up, anyone has a video that shows all conversations? before I reload several times myself ...
>>498372683oh yea she talks about the Nidia using glamor magic to hide their true selves way back
what should the acronym for this game be? MRF? Meta? MPRF? PRF? :)
is this the ultimate grinding spot?
>>498373004next island is even better
>>498372584Husband material
>>498373004>merchant abuser
Do the stat gains from archetypes increase as they level up? I have genuinely not paid attention and now I see that a fresh advanced class gives less stats than the maxed previous class. Wife unrelated.
>>498373208I will not stand this antisemitism.Level up tolerance.
>>498373208is this anti merchant shitposting supposed to be some new meme?
>>498373443It's our very own "you didn't beat the game" apparently
>>498373478Metaphor: The dark souls of jrpgs
So did the whole "Mataphor is longer than Persona 5" thing end up being bullshit?
>>498371815Maxing luck stat only gives you around 15% critical increase iirc, it's probably not worth it unless you inherit the passive that double crit rate
how do I complete quests, level up and build social links in real life? Is there a guide?
I come back to this room later right, cause I see shit in the distance I want
>>498372761 since iam done tldrhulk - talks about past adventures / strohl - calls you brother / basilio - thanks you for saving his brother and him being scared of the ocean /heismay - small talk and fishing with his son :( /fidelio - simp for the lady junah and a tsun thanks /junah - small talk about the brothers
>>498373004Spire of Blind Faith, so the next major optional dungeon on an island. see>>498365638Its also got 2 crystal respawns the floor below, and the save spot is right above that picture so you can quick reset.
>>498373817I also wanna know if its longer than p5 but no one will tell me
>>498374062it would be if you could not one shot lower level monsters
>Finish the dungeon in one day>Oh, that seems pretty nice. Let's see what I can do for optionals >2 hunts, a 2 day quest for Alonzo, 2 quests inside the Cathedral, and 4-5 bonds that need to be rankedToo much stuff, not enough time
>>498373443it's good and therefore you can't use it according to retards
I want him to impregnate me.
would be cooler if mustari didn't wear these shit design helmets
>>498375695they're hiding their faces like that one dad from fairy oddparents
>>498366214This dungeon was legitimately painful. Dreading doing this NG+ regicide
>>498374820It's fine. It's not that great.
>>498375970Did you do it the second time?
>>498340460just keep playing with mastered classes, XP is just turned into consumables.also, masked dancer doesn't really need as many inheritables imo, just some passive stat boosts sincee you can swap masks to get a different elemental skill set.
>>498366214>>498375970has nothing on labyrinth's in mary skelter
>>498366214holy based
I am having fun
i like stealing
>>498377539>run around in dungeon>got stuck in an attack animation and a monster just barely clipped me for an ambush>they get 6 turns + 2 extra because of RNG crit + weakness so obviously I die>get spawned randomly in the dungeon and have no clue how far back I got because everything has respawned
Somehow, the necromancer was a harder boss fight than the giant fucking human
>fun
Does anybody else get some sort of motion sickness from the menu and UI? It's all those transitions and how everything moves, I wish there was an option to tone it down
>>498377572They should have just removed the RNG from stealing and made it always succeedHe'll always go first because of his agility so every fight turns into spamming resets until steal hits
what would you do in this situation
I was grinding for 30min and my pc diedgg guys
>>498378051It's so that when you fight against a strong enemy you can't reliably beat, you can't easily steal their items
I can't believe this entire dungeon was an Etrian Odyssey reference. This game truly is Atlus mixing up all their games, huh?
please tell me theres a furry party member
>king sets up democracy>the prince ended up winning the vote anywaywhat did atlus mean by this
>miss synthesis attack>turn endsWhy is this allowed?
Does anyone know what this "1" to the right of the price means?
>>498378051>resetYou didnt beat it
>>498379490To the left*I'm fucking retarded
>>498379490Number in stock. You can only buy one in that example.
>>498379659Thanks.
>call game metaphor>the metaphor is actually a similebravo
Okay the system is fun, but now that the options started opening up, it seems impossible to get every skills I want
I hope that dragon temple is not even half way into the game because it feels like all I've been doing is side areas and quests for the past 25 hours since the first dungeon
>>498379578I have never reset for any reason besides steal failing 8 times in a row while everyone else sat there guarding so the enemy didn't die
show me your bank accountI'm on the kidnapper quest
>>498380291Your money in this game is only limited by how boring you find running in circles hitting respawning enemies as merchant
Fuck Faz
what the fuck? I should've farmed this more
>>498369093imagine how fucking good a 3D EO with this combat and class system would be
he's actually kinda hot
>Competition where anyone can become king begins>Both main competitors have massive backing>every other candidate is downright retarded and comes across as completely uneducated with plans that collapse at "how will you pay for that" and "what about this other group?"If this was reality the two main groups would have silenced or killed every other candidate they were allowed to before they even reached the second city, especially with the rock nigga granting invincibility to the frontrunners as long as its attempted murder
>>498379578resets are a core game mechanic which is why enemy weaknesses/analysis stays even after a reset.If you arent resetting for a good first turn/steal then you're missing out for nothing
makes you think
>>498380853The two main groups were so far ahead that it was joke. The purpose of the tournament is to solidify forden's lead. Which is why Louis didn't enter it.
The only thing I hate about this game is that archetype xp even with items is a pain in the fucking ass. >>498380993People have forgotten that you steal from everything in jrpgs.
>>498380291>>498380370would be a real shame if I sat between these two crystals and farmed my mana back to full at the end of a long dungeon....
>>498381116It's designed around focusing on a few archetypes per character. If someone masters one any future XP they earn on it turns into archetype XP items, so you both need less and get more
>>498381116I got 54 hero leaf of lights, I don't think its going to be that bad of a problem. Its actually really nice that mastered archetypes give you the 1k fruit for every 1k you put into it. You might as well not swap off really unless I am missing something.
>>498381175I wanted to play with other classes so I spread it around. The major issue for other characters is that without a guide you don't know what classes are going to be necessary for the final embodiment.
>>498381227I can tell you those 54 hero leafs are like one in a half of the higher archetypes. Unless you've found the perfect class and let me tell you, higher level archetypes almost immediately blow out the previous one out of the water. It's hard to stick with a weaker class because it's mastered. It's also a pretty boring way to play.
>>498381254I feel like the final ultimate classes are kind of a design mistake. They're too good and require too much specific archetype investment on specific characters, so if you wanna use them you're better off keeping each character in their designated niche rather than branching off... Also it hilariously screws over Heismay specifically, his final class requires like easily 2-3x the amount of aexp everyone elses does. I blame Dragoon.
Some passives looks totally insane like Samurai's halves damage but you can't dodge and the avoid 1 fatal attack and fully heals you once per battle?
Merchant grinding does make the game easier, but no shit, that's why you grind. If you wanted the game to be harder you wouldn't grind. Money isn't a problem without running Merchant on field, though there is little reason not to do so optimally speaking. The only real argument against it is you don't want to swap around Archetypes in the menus all the time.
>>498381374If you're efficient then you're sitting on tons of EXP before you even have the next Archetype tier from social links unlocked, so it's not really a concern.
>>498381691yea saw that and started farming it on Hulkenberg so I can make her an even more monstrous tank on her knight classes
>>498381780The game very heavily pushes you towards merchant farming. One of More's first requests is to get it to level 15 so most players are going to read the passive, get curious and experience it in some way or another.
Somebody just told me if you put the difficulty on regicide you can't change it anymore, I guess if you decide to play on that you have to commit
>>498381454Dragoon wouldn't be an issue if it didn't require magical knight and merchant. His is the one that's pissing me off the most. I wish the prince was more of an omni character. I've been using him with prince as a support buff/healer set up because I went magic and sometimes he'll do damage but most times it's better to just use him to set up Hulk and Bas synths. >>498381780Merchant grinding is something that people in the first and second dungeon do and then it doesn't really matter. Money helps but it's not really that great. You usually find better weapons exploring. >>498381875The problem is when you get 3 more party members in rapid succession and you have to start balancing all seven around unless you like to be boring and keep the same 4 people. >>498381948It's NG+ only so it's not even that difficult.
who should use Faker? i cant decide
>>498381948does regicide add anything? Its NG+ locked so feels like it would add tough modifiers or new content
>>498382081Since people with high bonds get full XP in reserve, you don't really gain anything from swapping
I just unlocked the Berserker archetype, how much of the game is left? I wanna max out all followers.
guess I underestimated DancerIt has some of the highest passive stats overall on Junah for example and you can unlock decent mask archetypes like Commander/General on her as it has pretty nice synergy
>>498382121I had Heinsway do it but I ended up going back to Commander/General for him. The promoted Faker has some crazy good skills, it's definitely worth grabbing, I just haven't had the EXP and I'm not sure I want my buffer to also do my debuff duties. I'll probably bite the bullet when I have more EXP laying around, though a cute idea I had was swapping between a buffer and a debuffer in battle.
>>498382121Of the starting 4 you probably want heismay and MC to have faker available.
>>498382253I guess I'm an odd man out because I just use her for debuffing and her synthesis. I replaced the masks with an accessory that lowers synthesis to one turn press and just have her debuff or party charge. >>498382216If you kept up with your virtues you should be fine you only have about a month left. I'm 10 days from the end and I did everything.
>get to 3rd town>go to random bounty dungeon>minotaur 1tko my partyHmm I see...
>>498331940Are Junah and Hulkenberg used goods?
>>498382505
Why can't I romance him
>>498382081I think my one complaint about the game pacing is they absolutely trickle new party members after you get heismay. I fought the pink horse a third time today and I thought surely she joins the party now. Nope.
>>498382740It's better for everyone if we don't court the furries
>>498382787But he's cute
bros, when do i get rank 5 catherina, did i miss it? i just finished the opera house
>>498382081Dragoon's requirements are weird considering the pattern that the other mixes use.
>>498382524>JunahBeyond used, whore of Babylon.>HulkUsed a bit.
I wish bardon was a party member. There's a distinct lack of scottish since grius.
>>498380853>two main groups compete>everyone else is a clown or a psyop by the two groupsSo, American election?
>keep trying to run past purple snake>keep getting caughtSo you have chosen death. I will exterminate your kind.

>>498366214I'm just finishing it now, I love it. It's so goddamn brutal I had to pull out tons of items and weird strategies just to get by. I even needed to flee from some fights and dodge monsters rather than fighting everything I came across. But I'm still managing to pick the whole thing clean by using Wizard MP recovery on the upper floors with lower level beasties.
>>498384290Do Eugief even have romantic relationships with the other tribes? If your standard of beauty is big eyed, stout bad people all the other tribes probably look disgusting.
