Yes, immediately when you finish her dungeon, I'd recommend rushing it if you want her asap (though it's probably the hardest in the game so good luck)

Yeah, I bought a bunch of these when I saw them and boy was I glad.

Nope. You can cheat engine it if you really want to

>>498669282
>Doing that won't waste any days right?
No. It'll take 4 days total to run both side dungeons, regardless of if its in one trip or two. You don't have to stop at the forest again during the second trip to the tower, you'll just pass buy it and end the day at the campsite.
Also the tower has permanently bad weather, but there's a mechanic to bypass this unlocked after you clear the Temple. You can clear the weather for 3 days, but if you spent an extra day stopping at the forest in a single trip you'd get screwed.
>>
>>498670834
nta but it's kinda wild how this game is missing stuff like being able to respec your MC, no fast archetype EXP farming in lategame, etc.

You can do either
Day 1: Forest dungeon -> camp there for the night
Day 2: pass through the shopping village -> stop at first campsite
Day 3: stop at second camp site
Day 4: Tower dungeon

Or

Day 1: Forest dungeon -> teleport back to town
Day 2: Prepare in town by changing the weather for the next 3 days -> pass by the forest without entering -> pass through the shopping village -> stop at first campsite
Day 3: stop at second camp site
Day 4: Tower dungeon

so you need to level 20 all of the archetypes for this?

So has this game solved the Atlas endgame issue of your party consisting of a DPS with 1 attack skill and a hundred passives, 1 buffer/debuffer that trivializes buffing/debuffing with Luster Candy+Debilitate, and a healer who spams full HP heal every turn?
>>
It makes sense now, I checked the stone statues during the virga island arc and for some reason it mentioned Rella as running as a candidate, and I was like "since when she was running". Now I'm past the opera house and it's finally become a plot point so I'm guessing that was a bug. Surprised that slipped through

>>498678627
You need to unlock all the Archetypes, which means you need everything but the Elites level 20.

yes, by making healing obsolete due to press turn

Beat the game at about 75. Looked around, that's where most people seemed to be too. Saw a few people between 68-72, but not much lower.

Just to be clear, you never have to use an archetype you don't want to just to level it, right? You can use a mastered archetype and it will give you an exp item that gives the same exp as you would have got on the mastered archetype, which you can then use on some other archetype? Is that right?

I think this game barrows so much from other Atlus games to it's own determinet. Battle mechanices are easy to exploit and not as good as SMT or Persona. Time management is just an easy mode version of what is in persona. The setting and story aren't as interesting as any of the other major franchises. Game is a 7/10 at best but people are treating it like it's the MLK of vidya for some reason

Music's one of the weakest parts for me. I agree that it's fine but it gets extremely repetitive to the point of me thinking they're trying to sell the DLC that gives you different battle themes.

i like the battle themes, the guy singing in gibberish has something to it. But overworld and dungeon themes feel like they dont really fit.
like the Grandtrad theme feels like it should be playing right before some major conflict with dread and anticipation all about, not for when i go around shopping and talking to people onn a chill day

also the inn not getting its own theme and just using the town theme is fucking atrocious
shops not having one is whatever, but the inn should feel cozy, not as i described above

I'd say Metaphor is focused on puzzle bosses, while SMTVV is tight resource management and maintaining rotation. Metaphor has more unique fights, but I've found I can fuck about and try stuff while not being punished too hard. If you're hitting weaknesses it's probably gonna be fine. SMTVV becomes the buff rotation game much faster, but keeping those plates spinning is hard as the bosses are designed to fuck up your flow. Even if keep it going high MP costs force you to be efficient, so learn to break the game or have back up demons. I think Metaphor might overall prove to be more challenging but they're different.

P5 was just insulting. I regret playing on hard cause it just made things more boring.
>>
>>498687284
>Who thought this was a good idea?
Final Fantasy 4
>>
>>498687284
you only take less damage from melee attacks, and deal less melee damage yourself

its mostly just so casters who have no endurance dont just drop dead in one hit from the enemy
>>
>>498687284
In EO it makes more sense because enemies are significantly more likely to target the front row, so the idea is the back row has the squishy classes while the front row has the tanky classes drawing aggro and row attacks. Also there are classes built around switching between rows or that have the flexibility of being able to do so. In the later EO games the enemies also use rows which adds additional depth to your attacking options, like being able to nuke the back row being a valuable trait. In Metaphor it's just a bunch of free defense so you always want to be in the back row unless you're melee phys so it's kinda just busywork that doesn't add much, especially because the enemy doesn't use it. The enemy using it would also help Phys not dominate early-game so hard much better than trying to limit HP-costing skills, it's one of the checks on AOE in EO.
>>
>>498672435
I haven't beaten the game but this game's superbosses is probably easier than SMTVV's.

>>498688097

>>
>>498687956
I have and the superbosses are probably not even as hard as Shiva, much less Demi-Fiend. Overall the rest of the game is harder, I'd say, but it falls flat in the superboss department. These bosses would need another few ten thousand HP and more vicious patterns to be comparable to those endurance tests. There is one superboss locked to the highest difficulty, maybe it's on the same level.

A-EXP items in general are a bit precious, obviously more valuable than gold since you can farm gold easily with merchant but A-EXP is tied up until you get the accessories/gear to enable faster growth, however if you elect to keep your party on mastered Archetypes you’ll begin to accumulate a good amount of leafs quickly which has the benefit of letting you redirect that A-EXP from a party member who may not need it (say, Hulk with a mastered Knight and Strohl with mastered Warrior) and funnel it into a single character accelerating their growth (MC on whatever archetype strikes your fancy, though I’d say a big one is Wizard after you Bond 3 with Gallica since rushing the Rank11 passive means you don’t have to worry nearly as much about MP management, just stick on any buff-at-start gear and watch the MP roll in every battle as you make back what you consume each turn)

Yep, it’s probably one of the best QoL features they put into archetypes and creates further decision depth because you’re not forced off to grind another class with must-have skills inherited, you can play any composition you want indefinitely and are rewarded by being able to quickly boost your promotions or even using leafs to grab an inherit from an archetype you don’t want to use but need a passive or attribute coverage from

In theory you get the most out of LUC with any skill that
-Can crit (which precludes all magic from what I recall)
-Has a multi-hit component
-Attempts to inflict status ailments/conditions
Which means the earliest possible skill that’ll cover two of those conditions is Slicer on Warrior, and at max hits + crit should be out-damaging a crit Diagonal Slice. The next skill that behaves similarly is Gunner’s all target that hits 1-3 times, which I mention over Brawler’s skill that does the same thing (sans the attribute which is now strike) mainly because the Gunner’s skill can be inherited once you upgrade to Sniper whereas Brawler has the skill stuck on synthesis.
I can’t think of any skills that satisfy all three, but the above two are a decent starting point for LUC builds and it’s probably best to avoid ailment skills since the rates feel terrible until you get masked dancer’s passive. I bet Merchant with Slicer inherit is a decent Cathedral->Martira end cope build since you’re not hurting for slots with Brigitta giving them out relatively short into the bond and MP management isn’t a big concern for a Merchant when you can Money Toss most shitter mobs to death

I don’t mind their existence since more skills/choices is good but it’s precisely because they only exist for their respective user that I think they were poorly implemented, a better way to implement the same idea would be to let anyone use an ultimate archetype but no dupes and/or only one ultimate archetype in the active party allowed. This at least encourages you to build around the one ultimate archetype as your core, rather than 90% of players having everyone on their donut steel archetype because it feels good cohesion be damned

Press turn system and enemies and players take their own phases

Enemy mobs don't go down when you hit them which makes them suspectible to Crits and afflictions

Also for a thinker, how would a true follower of sanctism work as a follower if they do a director's cut. And what would their story arc be when it's revealed they Led the destruction of the Elda village?
>>
>>498702370
Allowing the whole party to use archetypes illustrates the game's messages about how those who stand up to enact change in the world can have a ripple effect and the strong exist (or ought) to empower others around them. The party can only use archetypes because the prince's power sparks theirs. "Your royal virtues are the precious kindling that ignite the flames of your followers' passion" etc etc.

I got filtered by the endgame fire dragon trial. Was doing okay, but got hit for 9999 damage and wiped. Is this just supposed to be a dps check or some mechanic I don't know about like that 1 bird who gets 4 extra turns if you have someone in the front row.
I'm around level 50.

While I wouldn't agree it's better than Metaphor, Bravely Second has some nice qol stuff like chaining mook battles for massive exp and better jobs than BD/Metaphor.
The only bad thing about Bravely Second is rather than 4 new characters, you only get 2 new, and 2 old characters.
Just don't play Bravely Default 2. It's a step back from Bravely Second.
Bravely Second is the true sequel.

Just past this part myself, and it's kinda wild how quickly the plot moves between twists and finger pointing here. I don't think it's not done poorly either. Just if this were Persona 5 I would've expected it to drag out the suspicions of Forden's involvement, or Louis to hide his survival, or Rella's candidacy to last for some time, and instead everyone decides to lay their cards on the table at once.

Persona uses the One More system where the one character continually takes more actions as they hit weaknesses/crit and knock down the enemy. Then once all the enemies are knocked down you do a All-Out Attack. Opposed to Press Turn where you light/add/remove turn icons while continuing down the party line.

Serious answer: Press turn is easier to see as "points" you have to spend on turns for your team. You can only have a max of 8 points in most games and missing or being blocked/reflected usually either costs you two points or all of your points depending on the game.
One More (Persona) is everyone gets one point they can spend however they want, but if they crit or hit a weakness, depending on the game, they can take a second turn or pass it off to an ally to enhance their stats for an attack. This can keep going for as long as the enemy can be knocked down. In some scenarios you can get way more than 8 turns. Missing or being blocked/reflected does nothing but prematurely end that character's turn and move to the next.

The game has a nice framework where you're free to run around, do quests for people, clear out dungeons and improve your bonds/royal virtues but it really does feel like the 2nd half of the game tosses it all out because they want you to focus on the story.

That's one thing the game could have used, clothing variation. Like P5 has heaps of different outfits for the characters depending on season and situation. Here the characters are going into 40 degree humid heat and freezing cold places in the same outfits.

The magla crystals are placed near the shortcuts at the end so that you can farm them with mage/thief/merchant etc. I put on a youtube video and farmed the moths with thief and had x99 magla pills after 20 min

About the ending
So if this is a third pillar, would a sequel be following the same cast and world? Since mc has a new book? Or do you think the good end is a generic "adventure continues for them" end? Would you prefer a new cast/setting or more of this one?

How abuseable is Assassinate?
At the tower of blind faith, and I am wildly underleveled
I can kill the beefier enemies, but it takes a lot of mp
I was thinking of using Assassinate to see if I can cheese the elite enemies, because otherwise I'm having to teleport out of the tower and just beat on the little skeletons on the second to last floor, which I'm doing anyways to regenerate mp

Surprisingly they do. The usual filter is okumura's arc because "it's too long" and the boss is "frustrating"

Impossible to have a sequel be a game because More is gone and he's what gave you the power of Archetypes. I can see it through a manga or some other type of media but I think they'd change casts the same way Persona/SMT does

>>498721296
If you max out the pink uma musume girl and read her epilogue segment in the capital she talks about how she crossed the ocean during the timeskip to visit a different country, so atlus now has an entire planet to tell stories in without having to worry about all the baggage that comes with making games adjacent to our reality.
>>
>>498721628
were you playing the game with your eyes closed or something? thats not what More did at all. hes a scholar who researches archetypes, not the one who granted you the power to use them.

Didn't they fuck up Okumura in Royal to the point where it's actually easier to beat it on Merciless than on Easy? Can't imagine those people had a great time with that one.

You still needed to use the Akademia to have control of them regardless in a gameplay perspective and assumingly having to visit him if you think about it from the MC's perspective.
Everyone else may have never known about More but he was still important
>>
>>498721932
merciless is the easiest difficulty overall in royal because you permanently deal twice more damage lmao. back in the vanilla version, it's balanced by the fact that you're broke and underlevelled all the time, but they removed that penalty in royal

No. That's actually a positive about Okumura's boss. He's one of the few bosses that actually makes use of the one more system, which has the byproduct of making it piss easy on Merciless since Merciless triples all weakness damage.

No compression on the voice files. You ever noticed how shit the voices sound in Persona and how this game doesn't have that problem?
>>
>>498715797
why?
>>
>>498723225
if companies arent gonna learn to compress voice files could they at least start offering different voices as free dlc so we can uninstall the ones we dont use?
>>
>>498723138
that's the final shop, there's 2 endgame gold weapons per class each and they're either enemy drops or from the final dungeon respectively.
the final dungeon weapons have minorly more damage than the enemy ones but to compensate the enemy drop weapons have way better effects
>>
>>498723003

>>

Because the social links take up 90% of P3's gameplay? Also, that's disingenous to say given that social links haven't been fully voiced for years and years until P3R
>>
>>498723704
>pro-freedom message

Leftists are the ones trying to impose their bullshit, though. Also, the royal lineage is very clearly counterbalanced by other institutions, besides clearly following ideals similar to that of the enlightenment. Obviously the best one would be the scottish enlightenment.

For real
Used Godkiller a bunch of times, which it says that it has a high chance of insta death, and it didn't proc once

More was helping but neither he nor the disembodied voice that you hear actually gave them archetypes they just awakened them and the MC reopened the magic school to study that phenomenon.

I checked the credits and you're right. It has a fraction of the staff that P5 did. For example P5 had 18 people credited as confidant planners, Metaphor has 6 people credited as follower planners, two of which are outsourced. In terms of main story writers Metaphor has 4 where P5 has 11. In basically every category Metaphor has less than half the staff

>>498723797
>>498724018
>>498725135
That's because Metaphor's not going off of P3R, but P5. It has been since development was announced all those years back (development, not concept). It's really not that surprising considering it still has PS3 textures and acts like a PS3 game. Whatever's coming after this is what will be building off of P3R, most likely.

I'm sure they tried considering Studio Zero put Full Body on the switch, but I'm guessing they couldn't get it running well enough and just said "Fuck it, we'll wait for the switch 2".

To restore mp while dungeon crawling, I either put shield blessing on those that know it or put on mp regen gear for those that don't, and then just pass turn in a random fight until the enemy is about to wake from stun, then run and repeat

I just don't find it fun and it lets me pick new classes with my characters. Unlike most persona games and SMT. Archetypes are going to be locked until you get the link up again so balance wise it should be fine.

does the attack stat on weapons effect skill/spell damage? first atlus game ive played, i assume yes?
>>
>>498728737
Planting being free would give way too much free AEXP
>>
>>498728819
Nah, the stats, passives and instant access to all skills makes it easier than NG Hard.

Yes

>1000AEXP
>1500 if you have that level 7 bond bonus fruit
That's basically nothing for having to wait an entire day to harvest, you get like 10x this by just running an appropriately leveled dungeon

I like the dubbed voices

I have only just beat the 4th dungeon so I’m far from seeing all this game’s twists and the like, but from this information alone my fellow EO bros can agree that the Euchronia Yggdrasil is canon, possibly making Metaphor’s setting an alternate timeline of EO’s? The Etrian DLC outfits even suggest something like this, specifically the line “one might mistake them as Euchronian” that is omitted in all of the SMT/Persona outfits

The hero fruit seeds are worthless, but you can get higher tier seeds that grow the 3000 A-EXP jeweled roots.

i like most except Basilio and Catherina, way too strong of accents. ill play JP in my 2nd playthrough
>>
>>498729249
NOOO GET OUT
I'll probably check it out on ng+ and switch back over if I don't like it
>>
>>498729339
Thats interesting because I dont like Catherina's but i feel like Basilio does his bit well.
>>
>>498729249
Heismay's VA is so soothing
>>
>>498729297
Metaphor is a celebration of all of Atlus's franchises.
>>
Just finished the game. It's my favorite Atlus game to date, I liked it even more than DDS or SJ.
The final dungeon and boss were pretty great
I hope the potential new sequels can live up to this.

Every single time I interact with Roger, he simply drops facts and basically is correct in every single way. If I were to become king, I would have him as an advisor.
>>
>>498729514
when i saw some of the promo stuff with him in it i was worried they turn him into a cutesy high pitched character, thank fuck they didnt. one of the best characters in any atlus game

Middle of July, how are my virtues looking? Am on a good pace for max or am I boned?
>>
>>498729339
thats exactly why I like them, im glad Atlus had the balls to go full on Xenoblade british instead of the faggy ff16 voice acting where everyone somehow had the same accent
>>
>>498729862
stop focusing on courage and wisdom, you'll get them naturally through doing dungeons and clearing content and I think you're good. Also read all the books you can get.
>>
>>498729785
this, but unironically
fuck licenses
and fuck pipingas

Eupha feels like a persona character

>>498729585
I’m aware of that, and a few late game spoilers that I won’t mention but support your statement, but what I’m getting at is that when you see Summoner’s research file it emphasizes the phrase “faraway world” or something to the same effect when describing where the technique originates from, same with Masked Dancer iirc. But there’s no such phrasing for the game’s biggest EO reference on the contrary, Eht Ria is christened in the main story in the least subtle name drop since FFXVI. Granted, most of this is pure cope with no updates on EO NEXT or even word of a new HD collection, but it doesn’t seem unreasonable to say that Metaphor canonized the Etrian Yggdrasil in the MegaTen universe (no I won’t count PQ’s superboss that was supposed to tease EO3U)

It's not that bad. Limit your buffs and debuffs and it won't go sicko mode on your ass.

Is there a meaning to Heismay's insignia on his back? It looks like a cross that was later changed to a 4 or some other similar symbol. If this was explained I definitely missed it.

If you pump them by 1 level each time you reach a new town you are in good shape.

Lol this almost seems like a bug, I've never seen the game called the protagonist just "Protagonist" anywhere else. I'm no programmer but is this not just where you'd call the stored protagonist's given name?

Like swapping everyone out of their default ones asap and ignore the ultimate jobs for challenge.
