New person question. Is there any issues putting off a mission dungeon until the last day? Is it basically the same as doing it the first day since I assume all the other days stay free days? Are there ways to grind exp that dont utilize time?

Gotta say naming him WILL is extremely kino when you hit the end of september and get all the plot revelations.
>>
>>498779372
Its completely inspired by the work of https://www.worldofdante.org/gallery_dore.html
instead of Bosch, especially 3 headed satan swallowing people in the ice. Also the morningstar on not lucifers crown was a nice touch

Some story dungeons can be extremely long so do you think you can just do it all in one go with the pressure of the last day on you?

Stop worrying about str vs mag during the early game, the stat differences are minor enough that archetypes and gear will just overpower stat gaps.
Its not until later on when gear starts stagnating that offensive inclinations actually matter.
>>
Just got access to the main dungeon in Brilehaven. I tend to put off story dungeons until I've done all the side battle-content but I don't have the 5th party member. Is it a situation where I go in and immediately get them or is it afterwards? I don't want them to miss out on all the side-xp.

He can't maintain his affectation and his voice is all over the place. In some lines he sounds like a normal young man with two well-developed testicles and in other lines his voice is girlishly soft and lispy. I wouldn't be surprised if his voice direction changed partway through recording.

its just a love letter to all the major Atlus games, so I kind of like it. At least he wasnt called Louis Cypher

Soejima intentionally designed him as androgynous so he's probably trying to reflect the soft boy voice and failing. Fidelio sounds like a young boy in jp because he has a female seiyuu but has a deep voice in en even though it doesn't make sense for him

As soon as you can study 25 different Archetypes, basically. You also have to raise an Elite one to 20 but that's a given by then.

Western companies are afraid of playing into shota/loli stereotypes so they often give "adult character who looks and sounds like a child"-types distinctly adult voices. If a normalfag on the ESRB sees a character that looks and sounds like a kid being exposed to violence or suggestive content, sometimes they'll shit their pants over it.

Before the fourth dungeon for me. Don't rush it though, you're not supposed to be in the third tier until september so the game will turn into easy mode if you do it earlier.

Why did they give Louis 8 wings? Most representations of Lucifer/Satan use at least 3 on each side and the only one with 4 wings are Cherubs. I've never seen 8 wings before.

the severe slash synth skills are also bugged? they hit for almost 3x the damage with above you can hit for 12k+ easy

my problem at the time was that he had no weaknesses and my whole strat was about using Wizard to do big dick weakness damage, I also felt like his endurance was just really high because I was losing MP faster than he was dying

but I made Will a Soul Hacker and that heavy Wind skill that also reduces atk paired with Junah's wind weakness implant on Persona Master changed everything for me
>>
>>498782121
One possible explanation is that highest ranking angels in christianity (and bosch motives imply we are using christian view here rather than usual gnostic) have 6 wings and he's above that.
>>
>>498783294
Nope there's never a reason to hoard them. Once you get your full party member and switch them to their mastered class you can easily farm and get 7 exp items at a time which fills up quick.

I called him William, it sounds better and feels more in line with the rest of the party member's names

why were social links nerfed to 8 ranks

I think this might genuinely be my favourite Atlus game. Persona is too low stakes and inconsequential and SMT is too abstract and nonsensical. Metaphor being a more traditional JRPG made it much more engaging for me.

Well maybe too small scale would be abetter way of putting it. Due to the modern day setting Persona stories always feel inconsequential outside of the persona character stories you see. This game actually feeling like what you do has an effect on the entire world around you makes it more fun for me unlike Persona where the world goes on as if nothing ever happened.

If Louis is basically not-Griffith do you think he also...? Slept around with a bunch of nobles? Given he was just a random Elda in his youth without any shred of nobility or power
>>
>>498788267
He's right though. Persona stories always have the plausible deniability aspect so they can keep making sequels cause they take place in the same modern day world so you can't actually have anything that impacts the average Japanese high schoolers daily life meaning nothing can really change all that greatly in the grand scheme of things.

I love everything about SMT except for the fusing demons stuff, which is unfortunately a huge part of it. I love the designs, the stories, the setting, even the combat, but constantly fusing new demons annoys a part of my RPG brain that wants to see gradual growth.

The second book feels more like sequel setup. It's really hard to say If Atlus would do a direct sequel focused on seeing the entire world instead of a singular country but time will tell. It would not be hard for them to take the formula and apply it to visiting different countries.

Time management is a part of the game, if you can't align the sidequest to a day with normal weather you just fucking suck. Especially in this game with generous deadlines and activities that always further the progression.

Personally I haven't had any trouble with the bad weather dungeons, and I've been playing on hard without overleveling. It adds to the game by heavily reducing the grind for normal exp and Archetype exp with the multiplier. Even if you're severely underleveled, if you've unlocked the recipe for Finisher Noodles, you have no excuse for being unable to beat a dungeon.

Unrelated, but is there anywhere else I can get Lumibees other than the Gauntlet Runner at night?

I've done several in bad weather, I still hate it but I can see it being part of the time management system. Pretty shitty though I'm still angry about it but whatever, I wish they debilitated you in a different way 'cause I love the press-turn system.

the vacants with the black magla are people whos magla production is overflowing them. this ties into the Royal Magic - the Royal Magic isnt actually a specific spell, rather its the act of drawing anxiety (and therefore magla) from the people into the royal scepter, which is why the formula in Akademia is just a list of names. before Louis made it up to the palace the royal magic was not working, therefore instead of having their excess maglla drained people whos anxieties overwhelmed them would become those weird catatonic vacants, which we later learn become Humans. They dissapear at the end of the game because the MC becomes King and the royal magic starts working again.

maybe you gotta max your royal virtues?

Briggita was definitely a "sometime in October" one for me and Alonzo is probably stat-locked. It usually tells you though, that or you need to go there in person to find out

the other bonds if i examined them in the follower menu it would tell you when your royal virtues weren't high enough

>his race realism
That's not what Heismay is arguing, that's what the church is trying to push though.
Heismay hates paripus because they killed his son but even the he realises it's bit unjustified because he learned the deeper context behind the accident. He just didn't fully move on from it because change is hard, which makes him a great character.

I think seeing story from his perspective and seeing why he was pushed to such radical views would be great.
He wasn't always this person we see in game, he was broken at some point of his life just like the king.

>>498809595
He was probably raped by forden

>>498808825
Which is a realistic response and gives depth to his character.
>>498809102
Maybe we have different notions of race realism, and that makes sense since the meaning has fluctuated a bit since the term gained popularity. Basically I mean race realism in the strictly descriptive sense, and not in the prescriptive sense or associated to some value judgement. Another way of saying it is that he recognizes objective biological (and magical) differences between the tribes and how these would naturally lead to differences in outcome (and the associated stereotypes that would be constructed over that reality). Once he recognizes this, his moral response is to help the tribes that are struggling (and the weak more generally).

>he was broken at some point of his life just like the king.
Apparently, he looked up to More (the king in his youth) when he came to the Elda village. He was having his favor and was known to be the king's closest aide (More also vaguely remembers 'a friend that betrayed him') and his breaking point was seeing the king not only slowly become a shell of his former idealistic self, making him think that those ideals he wrote on the novel (that he also owns) were just lies but also the King completely abandoning his trust on him for believeing in Forden that he was the one responsible for the Prince's curse.

Man, this is hands down the hardest boss I’ve faced so far (and yeah, I’m playing on hard). It was only seven levels above my characters, but it felt like it was a dozen. If I’d had Kandera available with the wizard, I probably could’ve handled it a bit easier. But nooo, I wasted all the hero’s essences on lower-level archetypes just to max them out, so I didn’t even have the Pugilist’s Power Thrust ready.
The damn boss wouldn’t stop spamming crits with those random attacks, plus it kept throwing malady at me non-stop. And don’t even get me started on the final phase, where it starts pulling extra turns out of his ass like it’s something out of Nocturne it was just ridiculous.
I barely won by a miracle, using almost all my health items and stacking debuffs on its agility to the max with "Shield Arts," and I hadn’t even unlocked the Magic Knight class yet. And the thing is, I just finished Shin Megami Tensei V V on hard mode recently, and I can’t remember any boss giving me this much trouble (aside from the superbosses, of course).

Counterpoint, rushing the 80% Archetype completion on MC means you want your first slot to be a buffer again. Even discarding that I'd still rather lead with Dynast Formation to start dishing out full damage immediately with no miss chance. Either way I don't totally disagree with you, it's fine for your buffer to be say Strohl going 2nd after Heismay goes 1st, then MC is 3rd/4th if Mage/Phys.

Currently fighting it right now with base (albeit upgraded) archetypes on hard at the same level. It's easy and I nearly had it on the first shot. Start with Faker's Roguery, reroll until you get 3-4, smack the boss with Strohl's heavy multi-hitters twice, use Hulk and Heim to take out two legs and it significantly weakens the random strike. After that, just before he regens, have your defense buffs at the ready because it's going to fuckin hurt.

Alright that's fair then. As the other lad said, there's seven that aren't walking death flags. In JRPGs, there's always an expanding cast, it's a staple of the genre with some exceptions like Atlus's SMT mainline series where it's just you and an ever changing roster of demons.
Good on you for expanding your horizons, though. Let us know if you need any other help. A few tips to get you started though.

1) Atlus games are built around a dynamic turn system where instead of a static "4 moves then the enemy moves", combat is designed for you to drag your turn out as long as possible to turn the tides by exploiting weaknesses, landing crits, and avoiding misses. Only one of those isn't reliant on RNG though so weaknesses should be your first, second, and third priority. That also extends to YOUR weaknesses. Metaphor lets you shake up your party's dynamic like no other game has, so try to play around and learn how to cover, exploit, and overpower your enemies.
2) JRPGs in general aren't built around long sustained fights outside of superbosses and final bosses. Pay attention to buff moves and debuff moves. Atlus names buffs with -ukaja like tarukaja and rakukaja, and debuffs with -unda like tarunda and rakunda. Generally speaking, you'll want to prioritize debuffs over buffs, but both are really nice.
3) Also in JRPGs, "all-rounder" stat allocation is never worth it. It's best to pick either Strength or Magic to prioritize with Endurance, Agility, or Luck actually don't pick luck as a subfocus
4) Also in Atlus RPGs, it's best to explore things yourself rather than using a guide. If you're truly stuck, seek assistance, but don't ever consult a guide. It ruins 99% of playthroughs.
5) Git gud. Atlus RPGs especially are famous and infamous in equal measure for how much you can exploit the various game mechanics and the harder difficulties are balanced around you doing exactly that.

The masked dancer/persona master class is such a waste of potential. Like there's some busted accessories in this game, yet you have to waste the accessory slot to even use its gimmick. Ironically its best to just ignore the gimmick, and equip the accessory that consumes less press turns for synthesis attacks because that's about all it's good for. It should have let you go full wild card and swap masks mid battle, even if it consumes half a press turn or something. Maybe with the caveat that it wouldn't have inheritance slots to balance it out.

Thank you very much! All my friends have raved about Persona but I've never dipped my toes into other games like this. I guess the closest when it comes to this was playing Yakuza 7 and 8 so there's some vague similarities I've noticed.
Oh and for Eador: New Horizons, it's a very nice and free! (but grindy) RPG/turn based strategy where you command a few parties of heroes to go from barely beating a few goblins with a shortsword to slaying multiple dragons singlehandedly over the course of the game with each game lasting around an hour. The progress between maps is you get more tech to unlock and heroes start from level 0 again.

The Persona games are non-linear so you can start at with 5R. It's insanely beginner friendly to the point that it irritates a lot of people, honestly and all around a great entry JRPG. I'm not sure I'd put Metaphor as a great entry Jarpig just due how stupidly wide its mechanic systems are, but if you actually aren't a retard, it should be just fine.
As for Eador, if I know slavs, and I KNOW slavs, that game is going to be jank as hell but fun. I'll check it out when I get my win10 vm back up and running.

Hi. As someone who's experience in Atlus games is entirely limited to one dreadful P4 playthrough (I softlocked myself at the final boss) and one much better P4G playthrough, how bad is the time management aspect in this game?

Eupha. Tho Brigitta does sorta give me that same P5 homeroom teacher "life is enough of a mess to screw a guy half her age" energy. Out of the female followers she seems the most emotionally dependent on MC

Hiding their faces is just part of their religious practices. They discuss it if you talk to the Tolerance teaching guys in the cities.
Also Eupha calls out the METAPHOR of them fearfully shutting themselves out from the world, after you fight the boss of the dragon temple

Why would that be present in the first version?

Is there a preferable order for doing the Trial of the Dragon?
I went to Insolence first because I hadn't done the regular hunt quest there yet, and the NPC was like "why in the world would you come to this tower first"

weakest part of atlus(specifically the persona segment) writing is how party characters during an arc will go "what could this mean" hundreds of times over the entirety of the storyline when the "mystery" is glaringly obvious within 10 minutes for the player. You know there's a baby monster in martira the second they say joanna doesn't have a child, yet they'll still go "hmm, what's going on here" after having read her diary, fought a monster with a pacifier 2 times, etc etc..

Git gud for one, abuse Roguery for two. You got three turns, having nine moves in one turn really helps.
