Realistically anything works, you won't brick yourself even on Hard or Regicide. Common consensus is a hybrid STR/MAG/AGI is best.

Just about everything works, do whatever you like the most and it'll work on any difficulty.

There's more than enough time in the game to 100%, do whatever you'd like.

Forden is just another "mnyes I will burn the children" mustache twirling church villain while Louis is his own character that, despite massively going off the fucking handle, has valid reasons for what he was trying to achieve.

>>499914024
I mean, you could always set up the weakness with Frozen Tactics than use Elemental Master's Blizzaton to hit it if you're interested in just pure damage.
And pretty much every boss in October has no weaknesses anyways

I wonder if the JP audience needed to be told to brush their teeth.

>>499919738
It is a lot happening at once, but I don't think it really needed to be more spread out than it is. Despite the amount of shit going on, I didn't really feel like the story wasn't getting the breathing room it needed or that characters then were rushing through their stories too quickly. I do think there should have been a Magic Academy dungeon or something and maybe Rella's whole sequence of being revealed as the one who cast the curse to seeming evil to revealing her true intentions could have been a bit more spread out, but I still think it works fine enough as is narratively.
>>
>>499919830
Persona 6 is being made by a different team and there's no way it's not already being developed. They just want to give metaphor a chance.

>>499911523
NTA but you need to grind for AEXP and MAG
>>
the biggest tragedy in this game is the constant presence of the time limit, the premise of the game would have been better if it was comfy open world slop where I go around adventuring with my bros and it would have enabled them to make dungeons far more difficult and longer. Imagine camping in and outside of a dungeon for multiple days at a time.
they could have kept the time limit in for specific events and quests but as it stands it felt like I was constantly being railroaded around and obligated to finish every dungeon in a single day in game.
>>
>>499926282
Even if you don't "need" to grind it's pretty indefensible for hte game to punish you by permanently having your party be widely different levels. Honestly having party exp be scaled to the individual seems like common sense to me and it feels weird they didn't have that just be how it works.

NTA the first dragon I fought was hard as fuck and I barely won, but then I figured out that crit builds are busted and made Strohl my designated 5 digit damage dealer and genuinely 1 shot both of the other dragons (I got a 60k crit).

What exactly do you do to make him deal that much damage? I tried decking him out with slash up, crit chance up from tycoon, heat up(x3), and sense of kinship(x3) along with the double crit talisman, and he just never did that much damage for me, Will and Basilio always did more.

It would definitely reduce the battle restart from bailing you out as much if you get ambushed, but there's enough tools in the late game to trivialize it still.

>>499933449
Warrior line has a sword that triples the MP cost and damage of synthesis (beloved sword I think), you get it from an endgame quest reward but it's purple rank and only has 400 attk, so the game would usually auto equip something higher. The 22mp severe slash synthesis turns into a 66mp killing machine, minimum 10k damage even without buffs/debuffs/charge

Just watch em on youtube, they are a little bit more elaborate but not much. The one if you miss the Island deadline is the coolest i'd say but also spoils you if you didn't see what is after. I only did the deadline end at the start and then was too lazy to always waste days.

Best would have been a short Will living in the modern age like in a persona game and for Louis we should have been able to team up with him and then kill our party together. They folded way too fast anyway, especially Strohl

I don't know how much crit his +crit attack adds to be honest, but as Tycoon you can easily.
I still gave him the Tycoon passive and the 5% one and he crits monsters dead before I even get to use charge most of the time
That weapon for 3x sythesis damage is nuts. Too bad Hassou Tobi is garbage. I feel sad every time I look at it.

In NG+, do you still have to spend MAG to unlock archetypes even though progress is carried over? Is that the problem I see of people saying it cost 3x as much to unlock?

I think it's fair that the political campaigns here aren't as "sensible" or "actually political" as you'd see in a real political scramble.
First, because it's unprecedented in the world. Nobody was anticipating that they'd have to build a political platform with a proper outline of their campaign goals. It's seen as, and IS a popularity contest with...
Second, the end goal is godhood. It's not being put into a position of power. The seat of kingship, which none of this fuckers save two ever had a realistic shot otherwise of ever having happen and the power that the Euchronian King wields is incalculable. Most of these morons have zero idea of what they're getting into and are just putting their ambitions to the stage in hopes of getting elected. Roger might be a lolbertarian by our standards, but consider the kind of man who is going for the seat of King for lawmaking, just to cut off any and all fiscal supply he might possibly have for lawmaking. He's just as big of an idiot as the others with the only difference being that his ambition is never paying taxes again. That's it.

It goes from just aexp to, "well ill get normal exp as well if i grind normally so get that too, money and mag as well", and it goes on until i have a maxxed out inventory and all archetypes on every character.

The story is an improvement, but it's not that hard to improve on a literal turd.

What a rerelease is also changes depending on the studio. The persona team has never been one to substantially change anything within the story. So you see people going "oh, they're going to fix up Rella's arc in the rerelease" but that's just not how it works. New content is layered upon the old but it does not substantially change it. It's how you had people going "why didn't they let Kasumi join before Shido" but that was obviously never in the cards, simple observation of how they do their rereleases shows that was never going to happen.
>>

You don't have to re-unlock anything you already unlocked the first time
the MAG costs are the biggest indicator that Regicide is actually bugged and should be available for a clean playthrough after you've beaten the game once

I'm wondering if the rella arc being the way it is was always planned. The anime cutscenes tend to be done early, so you can use them as a gauge to see if anything has changed (p5 has a lot of little inconsistencies where you can notice changes between when the anime cutscenes were done and what they changed after, or how royal interviews mentioned they did rewrites closer to release and we see anime cutscenes from the trailers that never made it to the game as they would have conflicted with the rewrites), yet the anime cutscene for beating Rella still has them in the field outside of the mage academy, which would be weird choice if they originally intended for it to be a dungeon we go through as the boss arena would likely be within the dungeon. Basically I don't think it's necessarily "cut content", it's a very odd pacing choice but it may be as intended.

>>499951476
based, but I thought P5 was overrated and not bad. I don't think you'll like 3 or 4 much if you didn't like 5 even though I think they're better so you might be better of trying SMT which has similar combat but no time management.
3, 4, or 5V are all great places to start, but 3 is pretty different than how 4 and 5 end up. It's a more or less straight dungeon crawler, so it'll feel like a less story heavy version of this game. 4A is my personal favorite, but 4 and 4A can divide fans a bit.

I think another "issue" comes from people expecting the framing/pacing of dungeons to be 1-to-1 with Persona, where there you had to go through an arc/dungeon every time a party member was added after the first few. Even with the calendar system, Metaphor feels more like a classic FF game (but longer).

What that would basically mean is that it wasn't "repurposed". The mage academy might never have been intended to be a main story dungeon, likely because they thought it would have more weight after all the end game reveals. Rather it could possibly have been saved for a post game expansion.

I expect it. I don't think Reload is indicative of how they'll handle stuff like this in the future, the DLC came out the same year as the initial release, and it's also a remake where the new content being added in was something that already existed in the version of the game people are most familiar with. I think Atlus can get away with re-releases so long as they feel substantive enough, but they got some flak just for releasing The Answer as DLC, they would have been completely raked over the coals if they released Persona 3 Reload: Reload to justify adding The Answer to the game.

I don't expect it and I wouldn't want it. Part of the appeal of Persona to me is having one setting you get intimately attached to over the course of the game as opposed to a lot of other JRPGs that try to give you a sense of adventure as you travel through the world, like Metaphor does. Neither is intrinsically better than the other, but Persona's setting has its own appeal and I'd like for it to keep it. Just because it works well in Metaphor doesn't mean it needs to be put in Persona.

I do believe he's likely alive but the fact that Atlus has kept him in a schrodinger status is just scummy imo, where he's neither alive nor dead and hasn't been mentioned ever since in any other game or otherwise despite knowing how much of a popular character he is.

>>499957352
I agree. I think people want him to get dindu'd so he can be easily swayed by MC but he just doesn't give me that type of character to me. At most I'd see him like a Vergil, still antagonistic and very much powerhungry but may stick around if there's a bigger thing he hates. I don't think that's possible in the way the game has been written though. It's time to let go, Louisters
>>
>>499958643
The point of Rella doing it besides the height was her magical ability. Even masked, a person of that stature with THAT level of magical aptitude narrows the list of suspects down to exactly two, and one of them is only know for her healing.

If we do somehow get a direct sequel like the game is kind of hinting at then Louis shouldn't come back. There is no point to him coming back. Louis story is done, and bringing him back would just take away from the next main antagonist or turn into a retread of the end of this game. The man is too stubborn to change his idealogy so he died like a screaming bitch.

This game is fascinating because I see such vastly different playtimes and levels from people at different spots.
Like the extent of grinding I did was getting extra pills in the dragon ruins and out of that I was in the 60's when I fought the dragons. The only way I can see people being underleveled is if they rush through zones.

i've been playing smt games since dds1 and i still don't understand why some things consume a half-turn icon and others consume a full turn icon. or when something takes 2 icons, it sometimes takes two half icons, one full and one half, or two halves.

Sure the game isn't all 'church is le bad' but it does establish that it's corrupt through the bad actions of people like forden. Literally the first thing you see after opening the .exe is a sanctor taking a bribe from an oble.
Why are japanese games so obsessed and hyperfixateed about christianity and instructional corruption in western religious organizations?

I can't think of a single comparable analogue of western videogames going on about how buddhist monks or shinto miko shrine maidens taking bribes and testing out military applications of magic on poor people, but the japs do it in every other rpg they make.

Japs don't do it in every JRPG, it's just a common trope because Christianity has a foothold in Japan and caused quite a few problems so it's something that they look at more critically than those without a church's presence or those that don't have a bone to pick.
It's also just a kino setpiece like a lot of things in Japan that gets overused.

I like Xillia 1 and 2 more than Berseria but I don't think it's a popular opinion, at least not with westerners. I also don't think they're objectively that good, but for me, a strong cast makes up for mediocre gameplay in a JRPG.

Everyone's opinions on Tales games will always be different. I like Xillia 1 but hated Xillia 2. Berseria is my favourite game in the series and think Arise is the worst(that includes Zesteria).

It doesn't need a shorthand because it doesn't correspond to anything in particular, -7 is Vidiartha + Debilitate.

It corresponds to Debilitate + Tarunda + Sukunda in particular. I get that Debilitate + Vidyartha is the optimal damage setup but you can still have buff/debuff spreads (such as -2/-1/-2 in my earlier post) that invalidate the +9/-9 notation, which is why I said it's fucking retarded

>I get that Debilitate + Vidyartha is the optimal damage setup
Yeah, which is why it's an order or magnitude more relevant than any other random combination of debuff moves, just because someone refers to it as -7 doesn't imply the existence of a system attributing a specific meaning to any - number.

>By your own fucking logic two posts earlier, (You)

Yes, a meaning to -7 and -7 only as opposed to a system that lets you deduce a spread of debuff from any given -number, it's not a deduction, it's not a system, it's just a name for a particular, relatively relevant situation.

>legit map for it
It's pretty barebones although there is traces of one from the Rella introduction, but it's more like the opening to the dungeon proper rather than an actual dungeon map. Unless someone's gotten into the game files already and found it ala P5 cut content

What's a good recommended level to take on the 3 Dragon trials? Just finished the Skybound Avatar and didn't realize I can't farm at Louis' mini dungeon until the last day, so I'm just grinding out Arena fights for now.
>>
>>500000279
They're all level 70. If you're at 60 with even a half-assed strat, you should be fine.

>just a name for a particular, relatively relevant situation.
by naming this particular situation you've created a way to identify it exclusively then... a set (system) of one is still a set. how will you backpedal next
>>
>>500000453
Sounds good, thanks anon. I know I'll be needing some stronger accessories, but hearing that, I think I can take them out after I get through the Arena.
>>
Can I do the Book of apocolypes boss right before doing the last Louis fight? Or should I do it before heading into the last dungeon?
>>

So for those of you who have played Metaphor in full, is the entire story worth what I've heard is a 100 hour investment just to beat the first time around? Is the story good or is it just filled with dumb characters making dumb decisions and a story filled with tons of plot holes?
>>
>>500000694
Of course.
>>
>>500000790
It's good, but it's closer to 60-80 hours depending on how much you dick around. There are contrivances, and not everything is some mastercrafted plan, but there's far more good than bad with it.
>>
>>500000790
>dumb characters making dumb decisions
Idk about the other aspects but this game is definitely that
>>
>>500000790
It's GOTY
>>
>>500000790
I enjoyed it and it isn't even a 100 hours but more like 60 or so hours. The final stretch when the game goes full on plot is great.
>>
>>500000989
Of course you don't know about the other aspects, you didn't play the fucking thing.
>>
>Strohl has a plan
>>
>>500000971
>>500001106
Oh, so it's not actually a 100 hour game that's as long and bloated as Persona 5 (not even Royal, but vanilla P5)? That's good. If it can be done in 60ish hours, that's actually more reasonable.
>>
>>500000790
It's worse than P5 somehow.
>>
>>500001394
There's quite a few things that contribute to that. First, there's only 8 SLink ranks, not 10
Second, ranking up is guaranteed every time
Third, social stats level up faster
Fourth, there's generally a LOT less time spent dicking around
Even if you just fumble your way through the story, you should still hit the finish line of everything with 7 or so days to spare
>>
bros I 100%'d metaphor how do I continue living on now this was the only game/piece of media I was looking forward to. Nothing else for the rest of this year or next looks even remotely interesting to me
>>
This is the first game in a while that's made me feel bad after finishing it because I know it's over...
>>
>>500000279
I beat them at low 60s on hard. One took a couple tries of reassembling the team but other than that not too much trouble. If you want to know which one to save for last, do the one on the island south of Eht Ria last. You can get the null fire reward from golden beetles and the other two dragons give you null fire equipment as well. You will really want those for the 3rd dragon.
>>
2 full playthroughs and I still haven't gotten the sword surfing achievement. I'm going to have to cheese it right now.
>>
I am thankful that Rella and the dragon were so straightforward and it didn't make us do a gay ass Raya Lucaria ripoff in the middle of all that kino

>>500001394
P5 is bloated mainly due to the social stat grind and the ridiculous social link setups like talking to ryuji for about 3 lines outside
>>500001637 anon has the right idea
Cutting the game down to 4 months rather than 9 was a pretty good idea, although arguably it could have more downtime with the characters. It's got a forgiving calendar and the characters generally are roped along by the plot well enough to not spend weeks at a time at a cafe

I'm at Virga Island at around 35 or so hours of playing and it feels like it's in the last third of the game with the whole Altabury stuff.

>>500003860
>the Mage Wall every rella turn really simplifies the action economy if you have a good debuff applier. I think it should have been more challenging though given that it's laughably easy compared to the next bossfight and dungeon

I'm pretty sure. I noticed that no one has negative stats anymore such as when using Warrior or Mage

Does anyone have a list of the canon join levels of all party members?
I'm starting a new game and I over-levelled last time at forsaken tower and was never able to fix it, so I want to do it right this time round.

Some people will say it's dumb characters making dumb decisions but they mostly make the mistake of projecting their desires and goals onto the characters.
As for duration it's somewhere between 40 and 100 hours depending on how slowly you take it, whether you skip cutscenes and speed read conversations.
If you like Atlus games I'd say it's worth.

I just use cheat engine to put the new joining characters at the same level of my current party. Idk why they keep doing that shit, it's like they don't want you to actually use the new characters, it shouldn't exist thus it's fine to use cheat to fix it.
