Is it just fantasy medieval persona/smt or is the more to it? Redpill me on this game without spoilers please.

Hulkenberg is insanely useful though, Paladin with both the row changing buff spells and the Pugilist defense attack is crazy good.

Thief heismay with divine wind clothes and a rider's anklet succeeds fairly often. Whatever the bonus on the smoking pipe is I don't think it's as much as 9 agi. Or there's an agi/level threshold that you just shoot over with all that extra agi.

Please keep in mind the late king Hythlodaeus's ideals were uniting the tribes as one - and His Majesty's reign has left our country deeply divided. What particular policies are you going to change? What are your taxation ideas, goals for their spending, your approaches to neighboring areas, church, army, Senate and all other groups you would be in opposition to - if you were to be elected?

Strohl was pretty mean to his parents when he was a kid, y'know. And Heismay also got exiled from the knights, probably for something he did. And (You)'re an elda, which is about as far from godliness as you can get.
>>
>>498566262
I'm generally one for rehabilitation, opposed to torturing or killing criminals so you can derive pleasure from their suffering under eye-for-an-eye logic. The amount of "do we really have to turn her over to be executed?" the party gives to someone that's been feeding random innocents to a demonic beast, under her own eye-for-an-eye delusions, is bit beyond my limits thoughever.

>>498566967
Strohl is idealistic to a fault. The party has done some things out of the interest of winning the competition, not purely out of the goodness of their hearts. In his mind this self serving is the same as johanna's self serving even though she sought to end lives for her own while the only lives the party ended were those they failed to save.
Strohl's father was just as idealistic and imparted this trait on him. And being in a small town and the son of a noble at that strohl never had the opportunity to temper this idealism with reality. This idealism is his reality, he says as much in his awakening speech. And you'll get more insight in brilehaven. No spoilers.

Yes
You should also be unlocking archetypes for inherited skills that will be useful flexes in battles.
Mage on everyone for bot and blizz, seeker for cyc, healer and thief for hama and mudo, brawler is nice to have on your str members for skull cracker flexing
Commander is even good because it gets a phys fire move that can inflict burn.

Is farming a bunch of money actually worth doing? I haven't gotten past the first town yet, and so far all I've seen to spend a bunch of money on are the 50k weapons like the Gold Epee that don't seem worth it.

Simple, money is plentiful without it. Sure, it makes the game significantly easier but the game is reasonably clearable without doing so and other overworld classes have nicer attributes like Brawler stunning stuff better than others, Mage having range and AOE and such.

IF it's giving itself 4 turns the issue is that you have units in the front row. Bring them all to the backrow before you end your turn.
>>
>>498571305
you're fine, get out of the front row and bring hulkenberg or a knight with the magic guard synthesis. he has a pattern with his wind aoe that decreases the fuck out of your damage, i think its every other turn so use magic guard to counter it. the main issue is probably your mp by that point being pretty low

their entire bond is politically motivated since the prince is an idealist and the MC gets slurs hurled at him by other people the entire game

you cannot unilaterally decide over a bunch of property that is not yours, not only because it is not yours, but also because it would lose you favor as a noble and those you help will resent you once you no longer provide help (which should eventually happen once they are able to integrate into society properly)
that being said, he should have placed an incentive so people are more willing to engage in charitable actions

You can't. You get big bonuses from whatever archetype you have equipped anyway so as long as you're not dumping into one stat and only one stat you'll be fine. If you DID statdump, well, you're stuck with whatever archetypes best utilize your chosen stat.

It will say if it's Physical or Magical and that determines what stat it scales off of. Same for some elemental skills.

more money and xp. probably to incentivize changing your party around constantly which is a good thing cause as it currently stands you kind of fall into this sunk cost mentality with your party members not wanting to grind other archetypes, waste mag, use a-exp items, etc

It's 3x more damage taken on weakness and crits but 2x drop rate.

Not really worth it imho, getting hit in a weakness already means you're losing the fight most likely unless you're fighting blue monsters and losing a fight because a boss got a lucky crit sounds GAY. Would only be okay if crit was something you could mitigate.

Given the vast amount of core combat systems they have to choose from I’d kill for them to pump out a successor/spin off that steers from Class combat to something closer to FF6’s numerous party members, replacing espers with some sort of skill tree that grows more branches the more a member fights/fights with certain members. Maybe make the theme space with a survival skew, fuck it give me Digital Devil Saga in a Dyson Sphere where you can betray every party member to gain their stats/skills, I want More to be an obscured third party warning the player about the consequences of fighting alone

I understand why they didnt do it though, having to make like 12 party members each focusing on one archetype each would be a massive pain in the butt even if they do railroad each party member you get into a certain archetype they excel in.

Mage->Wizard->Elemental Master

so I can just sit here so the archers can't shoot me and run at me, and farm FREE money all day long?
I have Hulk as a healer so I can learn the party heal so she can use that when I don't need to taunt. First Aid outside of combat is great, so I put the HP cost punch on my two other guys for cheap cost attacks (2 MP for like 2-3 casts of it)
>>
Unfortunately I think I've noticed several things that may lead for Atlus to eventually justify a re-release of Metaphor down the line even though they said they wouldn't.

>There's nothing that improves the seed planting mechanic nor a way to make it not use time
>Can't fish in overworld despite there being A FUCKING PORT and your only choices are during the Virga trip.
>After unlocking flying you also can't choose alternative routes for travel anymore, making it so by the endgame you only have 1 possible fishing route
>There's no magic academy dungeon, even though it feels like there should have been at least one. The fight with Rella happens incredibly quick
>Can't separate dlc music from costume

And there's probably more things I can think of.

>>498595025
The entire field attack system is so bad, they need to rework it
>>
>>498594976
There's one spot in every main dungeon and side dungeon where it's clear they intend for you to farm and grind. So dont waste your time too long in one spot, just grind what you need and move on because the future ones are usually better.

He was literally going to be unchallenged at the start of the game when he attempted to take the Throne as is till the Royal Magic activates. Forden and the Church had no power that came close to stopping him.

Honestly I’d prefer some “synthesized” archetype options like Merchant and Brawler lines having a unique hybrid that focuses on non-MP skills (MAG-cost heal that buffs, Reeve-cost charge that refunds the turn icons on the next hit if it crits, etc). If not at least give all the non-party archetypes an ultimate version that’s distinct by nature of only one party member being allowed to equip it actively and its skills not being inheritable.
On the subject, rounding out some of the shorter synthesis lists would also be nice. For as strong as Brawler is why does it only have 2 synth skills at Elite, you figure they could afford to give it a “ExtremeSavageDeadly Strike attack to one enemy, a portion of damage is distributed to user as a heal. Only usable when below 50% HP. Cost: 26 MP” skill when any of the weakness-inducing synthesis attacks are capable of looping for incredible damage while a support/faker turn generator speeds things up

It's still like 60 or so hours long which I'd say is a decent length for a modern RPG. It just feels like it goes by really fast. especially since Persona gives you 8ish playable months for the most part.

I understand the lore behind them, they let people use magic. But how do they work in gameplay?

how important is a healer? There's a lot of classes to try out starting at the second dungeon so I can't imagine you need to stick with one permanently even on hard. Do items work in a pinch (I am guessing that combat healing is not something that you need to do very often considering press turns)?

>>498601272
about 40-50% there.

I have all of my stats at 4, without major spoilers which one is the most important to raise to 5? Due to free stats from quests I am closest to courage and wisdom 5, but at the same time I almost don't wanna focus on those because I keep getting free points and I feel like tolerance is rarer.

Healing is never that pressing outside of boss battles, where you can be more liberal with items, UNTIL the 4th main dungeon. Even on perfect ambushes you’ll want a pocket medi inherit on anyone, though I prefer to use Hulk’s Magic Knight for Mediline since I’m probably running everyone in the back or front anyway

Basically Hojo vs Sephiroth. Forden was the one who set the plot in motion through his machinations. Forden was the one who broke Louis, genocided his people, turned his foster father and everyone else against him, framed him, and drove him insane. Forden is way more vile, and he represents everything wrong with the current order, but Louis's solution is to cull everything and start from square one. Louis is much more of a threat to the world and promises far more death with his brutal apocalyptic darwinism than Forden's death camps. I'd rather have Forden winning than Louis, even if Louis is the more sympathetic character.

Yeah, their SLs basically cap at level 8, which would be right before the love confession in a Persona game. I could very easily see the MC hooking up with any of them post-game though as King, he'd have to consider the political ramifications of being open with such a relationship. Hulkenberg is for Stohl though.

WHY THE FUCK WILL NO ONE TALK TO ME ON THE ISLAND? I beat the Dragon Temple. I have Junah at Rank 1 and nothing advances her. No one will fucking talk to me on the gauntlet runner anymore besides Strohl to train courage. EXCEPT I ALREADY HAVE MAX COURAGE BECAUSE HALF THE FUCKING QUESTS AND ARENA GIVE YOU ALL YOU NEED. All my other skills are barely above 3 and no one, day or night, wants to fucking do anything on the ship. 3 fucking days to sail to the tower and all I can do is fish and do laundry. Do I seriously spend my next 8 days on the island talking to the tolerance guy over and over. What the fuck? I can't even advance fucking night followers because they either have nothing to do or Brigitta just says she needs time to open a new store for Rank 8.

No, the additional route was a terrible idea for VV in so many ways. I doubt a good implementation is possible. I don't deny they added a fair amount to base game but they also didn't account much for the balance differences and they already struggle to keep a game's balance together through the end on one route.

It's not like I disliked it, the Qaditsu boss fights are some of the best content in the game. But if I think about that time spent on making CoC really good instead and fixing my gripes with it, which is what I hoped for to begin with, I still want that.

What are the chances they add NG+ only content and stuff to go along with Regicide difficulty being a NG+ only option? I much prefer if a NG+ had additional content rather than just playing the game again exactly as it is

Bonds progress on the ship or in towns. If you dont have any ship bonds, that means you've already gotten past them and need to do town bonds until you get ship bonds again.

All my town bonds are locked behind virtures, and my point is no one will even do the virtue training like chess with Hulkenberg, or Junah singing anymore to train my virtures. So my only choice is to sit in town and train virtues over and over day after day.

I hate how rigid the runner system seems to be. Based on some of the other travel you do, it seems very weird I can't go from this runner, to that tower, in a single day. Or flying from one dungeon to another, the game wants you to go back to town. Also weird that once your at this point in the game that you can't do travel at night

damn, new franchise incoming, I wonder?

Am I bricked? For some reason, even through NG+, Steam doesn't recognize my demo playthrough and doesn't let me unlock the early-game thropies at all. I still don't have the Nord Mines thropy. Will it unlock on NG+?

Made me look up Persona 1 and 2 and unfortunately it seems the whole high school + modern city setting seems to be a series identity for Persona

1 million doesnt mean anything when it's going to stagnate there, literally reached its peak. That on top of the fact no one wants to draw people from this ugly game. It's actually fucking over.

>why did hydaelyn do (insert dumb shit) in the ffxiv lore?
Because over the course of the story things that was planned at the start ended up changing, when hydaelyn eventually take centre stage, they had to make her do dumb shit so their hacked together story continues to make sense.

Probably, but if it were not the case, I would still pick the loli, even if Junah is an actually fake whore.

Yeap, start MAG biased and be slightly STR biased by the end game.
Also

>null fire
what did they mean by this?
>>
>>498614148
Yeah. I like metaphor but thought the world wasn't really interesting. Always a fan of persona settings because it's all real life and they don't really have to come up with many new things for the atmosphere.
>>
>>498615553
Null fire is from armor. There's only a few ways to null stuff. Then there's a hidden enemy in the final area that gives you repel elements or repel physical and it's kind of out of no where.

I learn just recently that Metaphor was originally envisioned as traditional high fantasy akin to Lord of the Rings but they found this a bit too restrictive for their vision and eventually did the whole magitech fantasy thing similar to Final Fantasy. Given that traditional medieval high fantasy is a pretty saturated setting genre, perhaps it might be for the best.

Man when the fuck do I actually get Catherina rank 5? It's insane you get her rank 1 so early but then she progresses insanely slowly. I'm worried I missed it somehow at this point, currently in the middle of the neverending sequence of September clusterfuckery.

The canon romance is Junah

Japan has a star-studded japanese cast but EN has a lot of great English theater actors. I played EN because it reminds me a lot of Xenoblade 1 which I love

Committing such a lewd act of shaking hands and absconding the responsibility is not part of being a justful king. Take responsibility!
