>>500146776I pretty much just did the path to get her to Royal Summoner. I wanted to get her down to Warlock as well because I think Hyper would be good on her, but it's too much investment.
>>500146776Max out assassin so you can have third eye as an inheritance skill and giggle to yourself everytime you see it.
should I play EO if I thought dragon temple was the peak of this game
>>500146727You can take the girl out of the IRA but you can't take the IRA out of the girl.
>>500147413
>>500147402I'd say EO is worth playing if you like JRPGs or dungeon crawlers in general, but if you like the Dragon Temple that's all the more reason to try it.
imma be real Homo Tenta are bad mascot charactershould have been Jack Frost instead
>>500147448LmaoJunah has the best lines
>>500148032Jack Frost is better, but that doesn't mean he should be Metaphor's mascot. Homo Tenta are fine.
Didja hear? Me mate in the palace says the reason we ain't heard about no queen is that our king has him a hard spot for too many of them women. According to me mate, he's got the three-eyed judge in his bed, him and his captain is going at it in the garden all the time, Lady Junah drops in for her own "visits", and a rhoag, Catherina, some truth-speaking clemar, and get this, he says even a fairy!God above, I'll not say he hasn't earned it but where's that boy got the time to actually be a King, eh?Well, may be that I'm jealous, but what sane man wouldnt?

>>500149474Its not compulsion, it's dedication. If I'm gonna be shot out the ass of a sandworm, you'd better believe I'm taking absolutely everything of marginal value on my way out the (back) door
>>500148026Which one should I start out with? I know the obvious answer is to start with the first game but in EO's case both the originals and the remakes of the first 2 games have questionable aspects
>>500148906The succession crisis is going to be insane
>>500149660I'd say if you have a 3DS then EO4 is a good starting place, if not the PC port of EO3 is a good starting place.

>when you're the most social person alive but no wants to hang out
Enough time has passed for Fabienne to grieve, and I want to step up.
wew, just finished the game, that final boss was rougher than I expected. Sad I didn't quite finish all the quests and social links. Is regicide bullshit or fine?
I did it. I beat Full power Destroyer Charadrius and with that I've 100% completed Metakino ReFantazio.
>>500145909kekbetter than persona 1 at least
>easiest game to read all books in>I still managed to fuck that up>even when I had the missable bookwew
I have no motivation to play NG+
Whats good passive setups for the MCs final class? Was thinking of grabbing all the passive Synthesis skill buffs for beeg damage.
>>500151637Merchant lineage has Almighty boost. Past that it's up to you due to how stacked its base skillset is.
>>500150563Hulkenberg WILL never let the MC mingle with a papirus widow with dried-up ovaries
Contemplative finger in Euphas butt.
>>500146776Overlord's Sash and a special Crossier allow her to make the most of synthesis attacks.Other than that, I'd suggest the Vid + Debilitate skills to increase her debuff utility.
>>500151005Did you fight the bosses in the last dungeon? If so then it should have been really easy.
>>500151021NoMetaphor is better than persona 3, 4 and 5

I don't think this game was 10/10 but it'd be funny if it won goty or at least rpg of the year. Does it have a chance?
>>500152715You know I'm right
>>500152883I don't think so. Most people have their mind on FF7R
>>500152883With chinese botting for Wukong we can forget goty but rpg maybe, Rebirth neM8WDAeds to be cucked.
>>500152883No way
>>500152453I beat em, my survivability was just awful. Maybe relied on Hulkenberg’s counters and Heismay’s evasion to drain press turns and not have it happen but I dunno, seemed pretty close. Was probably just a case of not using/unlocking good inherited skill synergies but whatever, got through it in the end. Also I haven’t posted in a while, what the fuck is this 900 second timer to post?
>>500153067Low IQ post. The press is the one who pics the GOTY, not the people.
I want to FUCK Strohl (or be fucked by him)IRL men are gross but anime men are cuteJapan is scheming
>>500153547honestly you're right what am I even thinking the players have a say
>>500153535Probably has to do with your damage output. I hardly used any tanking or healing and focused on pure dps. Even with a sub-optimal strategy, I was able to beat the first fight in 2-3 turns, the second in 4-5, and the last in a single turn thanks to a lucky crit.
game needed a post game dungeon
>>500152883This game is too unfinished. Rebirth will win.
rebirth is also using a modern engine
I don't understand how Atlus thought it was worth releasing this game in this state with the worst visuals of any rpg and content missing out the ass. Pretty much everyone is saying it's a complete mess and Rebirth and Reload are both miles better.
>>500155179And is woke so journos love it
>>500155452Game seems to have had a very strenuous development period so wouldn't surprise me if they started development so long ago on the P5 engine that they were then stuck on it

>>500155594The people have spoken and they definitely don't agree.

>>500155646The people are retarded so who cares
>>500152618That doesn't sound fine.
>>500152883I've played more new releases I liked this year than I do most years, but despite that I can't think of many that feel like game of the year contenders. Maybe they're potentially my game of the year, but they're not liked enough in general to land the actual award.

>>500157812why is she always drawn huge when she's barely taller than Will
>>500157921sure, but that doesn't answer the contradiction at all
>>500157617It's like this isn't even a AA game. It's got worse production value and content than a Gust game.
What's the best use for free days and nights in the last month? I've maxed bonds and royal virtues already, just missing some dungeons.

Are there mods for this game yet? I'd like one that let me do shit on days I have squat to do, like enabling the runner facilities or what not
>>500160090there are mods but they're focused on restoring hulkenbergs butt
>>500160052I use exp multiplier and yes I set stats
>>500160248well yeah stats matter. but the game still revolves around not letting your enemy have a turn at all, most of the time
You can tell a game is broken when it still sucks after you make yourself max level
>>500160402I admire the courage to make yourself look this much like a fool. even anonymously I don't think I could do it.

How is this game "the future of jrpgs" when it's just a low budget persona ripoff trapped in p3 reload's shadow?
Damn lil bro got that vegan speech going on
nice
>no short hair Hulkenberg from the flashback>no swimsuitsthis game is trash
>no short hair Hulkenberg from the flashback>no swimsuitsfinally a kino atlus game
>Atlus is the future of JRPGs>Larian is the future of WRPGsSquare Enix and Bioware need to get their shit together
Am I supposed to finish the 3 dragon tower quests before heading for Skybound Avatar? The difficulty spike is ridiculous.
>>500164150How exactly is Metaphor transformative? I liked it but it just feels like a slimmed-down Persona/SMT. The combat feels really reductive, especially once you get some proper tools to play with. It's only engaging at the start because your arsenal is so barebones that you can't really do what the game incentivizes, which is to one-turn every fight. And by the mid/end of the game this goes from being genuinely difficult to laughably easy, especially once you unlock Prince.
>>500164410Mountain of basic things the game is just missing so innovative No one even talks about the story of this shit
I control your strings.
>>500164712They need to burn to the ground first and then we can talk about new beginnings, too much filith can't be purged otherwise
>>500164150lmfao
>>500164150what does refantazio do that rpgs haven't done for ages? I like it but that article headline just gives the impression that the author isn't too familiar with the genre
>>500164913And? Look at wukong and tell me how this game was a success Again no one talks about the story or the characters other than to complain about how incomplete it all is
>>500165061idkbut it made people seething so it's funny
>>500164913Fucking wild how a Saga game is doing great. Hope they go back to their roots instead of release more half assed action games.
>>500164753maybe the author makes the case that the future of jrpgs won't be transformative and we only have derivative works ahead of us
>>500165168Personally, I can't play it because I don't think the visuals can compared to the remastered 2D version.
>>500164150I like the game but that's a real baby's first jrpg take.
>>500164714Yes
>>500165291You can take the fan out of Persona, but you can't take Persona out of the fan.
>>500165149>b-but what about wukongok
>>500164150oh, it's wired, no wonder>what if humans... le bad>such depths
>>500165291I can see Gallica's feet
so basically this games plot is a ripoff of nier replicant/gestalt
>>500161701All these boys will grow up with a crush on Maria, only to get cucked when they find out she's getting dicked by the king.
>Louis' plan is to reverse the function of the Royal Scepter, dumping all the magla and anxiety onto the populace so they transform into humans, expecting the best of the best to be able to control themselves the way the MC did (even though that was from fairy magic, not any inherent strength the MC possessed, as proven later)>he's doing this in apparent pursuit of a world where people don't burden others with their own anxiety and master themselves>ending reveals he could've achieved at least part of his goal by just destroying the scepterSo is he just crazy or stupid or what? Obsessed with power via persecution complex from being elda/PTSD from the burning of the village?
>>500165489Barely noticed anxiety in the game outside the status effect tbqh
So why was the late king so impotent? Isn't the royal magic supposed to be godlike? Was he just so burdened with everyone's anxiety that he lost the will to live, or did that have more to do with losing his wife and child? Surely he could've used the magic for something more immediately useful than becoming a giant floating face?
>>500165892A little girl running off to "befriend" only boys unsupervised is used goods
>>500166435She only tries to befriend boys because the girls her age in sunshade row are too busy being some nobles cum dumpster
>>500165954I mean halfway through his final encounter it turns out he can't even handle his own power, so he definately comes off as too crazy to really consider anything else. He's so obsessed with his idea of power that he can't comprehend the idea of being able to peacefully guide the people to a better tommorow the way Will and (You) do.
>>500165954He has the motivations of one of the lower level gang characters from The Wire, but not the honesty to admit it
>>500165954Honestly I think Louis' whole plan is bullshit and he's just a megalomaniac who wants to destroy the world as we know it. What stood out to me is when he tries to transform the MC into a human again before the final battle, if he expected the MC to be able to control himself then why would he even bother with this in the first place? It really comes across as if he knows that no one will be able to control the transformation, which means every single aspect of his plan is bullshit.
>>500165954Since the party decided to psychoanalyze him it sounds like they think it's unresolved PTSD. Since the heroes said it it has to be true. But they didn't show it well in the game. All the anxiety stuff didn't get across well to me.
>Hulkenberg butt mod>Junah pantsu mod>Eupha poncho commando modWhich other mods are on the must-have list?
>>500167165Gallica should have a fresh one-piece for every day of the week. Washer should have a fairy drum.
>>500167645It would have been cute to have her wearing a different color corresponding to the day.
i hope they play one of the monk songs in goty awards thing, team ambush hopefully
>>500146938>>500147064you might as well ask for radiant historia or steamboat chronicles references if you want that.
>>500167058I'd agree, especially since he's apparently able to consistently create humans for him to slay, with zero mention of anyone he tried to transform controlling themselves. It's kind of funny the party approaches his plan from the "your world is one where the weak get culled, that's not true justice!" angle and not the more fundamental "this plan makes no sense and just sounds like an excuse for you to kill everyone" angle. Kinda missing the forest for the trees pointing out that omnicide is unjust.
>>500166242I don't know the point of the whole charade in the first place, considering there's two endings where it fails. There has to be an easier spell to get your son the throne. No one else had a real chance and it was only people wealthy/lucky enough to have a gauntlet runner who could compete. The civilians rejoice once they hear it's the prince as if they never had any problem with the royal family anyway.
>>500157898>>500165291Asuna and Karin vibes
>>500168519honestly the entire back half of the story is pretty sloppy, everything after the opera house feels like it was written by someone else.
>>500165291
>>500152303Its wild that physical gets all this helpful shit like gamblers manual, boosts/surges having higher damage bonuses than the magic ones, a cheap full party power charge by endgame, and they can crit. Magic gets nothing in this game really :((( not even a full party hyper without items (unless I missed it).
How did you feel about the relationship between the Prince and Will?I thought they were secret twin brothers or something.
>>500168519The king even says something along the lines of "my gamble paid off" at the end. Bro, that wasn't a gamble, that was a fucking miracle. If his wife hadn't asspulled herself into fairy magic this shit would've gone down in flames. Why did the king make this "gamble" and leave almost nothing in place to help the prince win?
>Brawler is my favorite archetype>Elite form cockblocked until the very end
>>500169160There was a point I wondered if we were going the Deadly Premonition route or the Breath of Fire 4 route. Turns out it was a bit of both.
>>500169160I liked that reveal but I think it's odd that Will just completely overwrites the prince including all his memories and is still made of pure magla. Makes me wonder why the merge had to happen at all
>>500169160I was also expecting something like that, that way they'd both be princes. What we got definitely aligns more with the themes of the game, I just wish it had been foreshadowed and explained a bit more thoroughly. They could've done this pretty easily through Gallica, hinting at small discrepancies in their memory throughout the story instead of right before the revelation. Same with the whole "open secret that the prince was an elda" thing, the game drops these concepts as they become relevant rather than setting them up, which makes them feel like asspulls.
>>500169160I liked the twist and thought it suited the theme of the game well. I never really gave a shit about the prince though, the situation allowed me to just view Will as his own separate entity from the prince even if he technically is himself the prince, so I didn't feel any more attachment to the prince from learning Will was born from him.

Dominating Louis Guiabern in bed!
>>500169482The Prince was dead and had spent the last 10 or so years in a coma, so it isn't like he was going to be able to lead. The merge does seem weird since it seems like the MC pretty much just had the Prince's looks imposed on top of him, but everybody seems to view it as the Prince coming back. The MC was born of the Prince so I guess it is all the same.
>>500169640Thanks for the input Reid McCarter, I'm sure everyone really gives a fuck what you think.
>>500169162>leave almost nothing in place to help the prince win?do you forget late king summoned (You) from a world beyond to guide the main character? i swear half of the questions people write here can be answered if they just read
>>500167086Louis is too good at hiding his emotions by now. I'd say he still has them but you rarely get microreactions that show some sorrow about it. Eg the moment Strohl mentions his hometown he has one sad portrait and then doubles down right away. Same with Basilio and Fidelio "faltering, he sounds a bit more disappointed but still goes for the kill. He is so deep into his plan and reasoning that the moment he falters all he did was for nothing and then he couldn't justify all his cruel acts anymore. That's why Basilio comparing him to Forden triggers him most, his acts are all means to an end for him but Forden just acted selfish for power.
>>500168519They didn't hate the king because of his ideals, they hated him because he was ineffectual. It's why Louis gets by in spite of openly being a sociopathic murderer.
>>500169175the elite form sucks, half of its moveset is taken up by fucking shitty healing skills for no reason half of its moveset literally invalidated by one heavy healing skill or an item
>>500169175What did you do about the Archetype XP? I've half a mind to go to Skybound Avatar, grind the shit out of it and then go down and clear out the three dragons.
>>500169739That's all fine and dandy but I'm talking about tangible assets the prince could utilize. It's sheer luck, or """""fate""""" that the MC encounters Hulkenberg, who happens to still be in touch with Neuras, who happened to keep the royal runner in a functional state, without which the prince would've been immediately disqualified. Like I said, he left almost nothing in place to ensure his gamble could even have a chance of working. If (You) were that special then it wouldn't have been a gamble in the first place.

Junah on royal dancer with Revitalise 3 and the Full Moon Medal only gets 6MP per turn. I cannot figure out what is causing this. No matter what combination of equipment and skills I inherit, she's limited to 6. Does Royal Masked Dancer have some passive that overrides MP regen abilities?

>strohl>crit build>needs 3 more warriors to take advantage of crit passive and crit buff>incredibly unreiable, he never crits, damage is underwhelming despite having three different sources of slash boost damage>hulkenburg>completely outclassed by heismay>junah>has potential as a mage nuke but class relegates her into debuff support that gets outclassed by prince synth skill with royal summonerThey weren’t very good at balancing the game, wanton destruction is kinda retarded and Heismay is mandatory
>>500173201That's not the job icon bro
Looks like it's Metaphor vs. Rebirth for RPG of the year.
>>500173201You can just inherit that and pen patra to cleric which gets a more efficient heal and magical injection which SHOULD have been a savior base skill but no fatlus thinks pen patra is better somehow
>>500173361Making half-breed paripus princes and princesses in the gauntlet runner covered in blood after killing a bounty?
>>500152715This is a pretty compelling argument
>>500173462counterpoint:
So the ideal mc build is>accessory that reduces synth turn cost>reverent crown>magic link>arcane unity>buff/debuff skill>buff/debuff/heal skillI thought almighty boost would be good on him but the damage is severely underwhelming.Emerald Vortex might be cool if you grind mc out you get a way better sword than the wind one.Radiance is weaker than Exorcist light so its not worth using.
>>500173964She has big tits
Gonna be disappointing if the DLC or eventual Royal edition doesn't have content beyond the epilogueI wanna use the King's archetype and have a genuine national crisis to contend with as King
>>500173919overlord sash is mandatory it triples your damage unironicallystrohl/warrior line gets a 2h sword that also triples damage
Grius will survive on metaphor reloaded right? And he will come with a new archetype that uses one handed swords right?
>>500174032I wouldn't mind just getting a new scenario like Vengeance, but it's a bit of a tough call. I say I wouldn't mind having that because I think it worked so well for SMTV, but the base scenario was already weak enough in SMTV that maybe it wouldn't be as appropriate in a game where the base scenario is already good.
>>500173523?
>>500173321U WIRR SOCIALIZUU WIRR MAKE FURENDOFAKIN SHUT IN
>>500173771Every time
Fabienne bond in reloaded or dlc?
>>500174058Youre talking about the subarmor that greatly increases slash damageCombine that with slash surge and slash boostNow the problem is how you boost his crit to max to take advantage of the gambler accessory and so he can at least not look like a second rate basilio who generates press turns while dealing fucking 4k damage per turn and this is without chargeIs strohl just meant to be used with junah and bas? Cause that just seems worse than using Eupha for free press turns with mc. Plus that setup has no Heismay which is a critcal disadvantage
>>500174209
>>500173523I'm still not going to be surprised if EA just buys it for Veilguard.
>>500174029you really can't beat a pair of big tits
>>500172748Looks great to me, honestly. What do you mean missing content?
>>500174381no I'm talking about the accessory that "sharply increases (triples btw) damage and MP cost of synthesis" Take picrel for example this was a low roll and also not a crit with that item equipped. Combined with Acrane Unity (Increases Synthesis damage), Almighty boost, and Critical trade, and I think my last skill was one of the 10% damage boost skills like kinship
>>500174573What if the pair is not on an obese woman though
>>500174381You can get the same effect on Strohl with this sword, since at endgame he is just a peerless stonecleaver bot anyway
>>500175163Yeah that's the sword that triples synthesis damage thanks anonMagic gets nothing like this LOL poor magfags
>>500175163This implies giving up the gamblers accessory though, unless you think 2 turn cost synthesis is viable, in which case strohl is just strictly worse than bas
>>500170759People thought Goro wasn't popular?
>>500175395>wind sword>emerald vortexPhys is still better but learn how to play the game faggot
>>500172047>>500173172Yeah, it was the Full Moon Medal overriding her skills. Weird, you'd think that if they don't stack it would just proc the one that gives the most MP. Apparently the item just makes it ignore whatever skills she inherits.Full Moon Medal only = 6Shield Blessing only = 10Revitalise 3 only = 6Shield Blessing + Full Moon Medal = 6Shield Blessing + Revitalise 3 = 16Shield Blessing + Revitalise 3 + Full Moon Medal = 6
>>500175441I used the 3x sword with gambler manual and my crits were doing 60k on Strohl using this skill setup >>500174892 but with slash boost instead of almighty ofc>>500175608Maglet LOL even the magic passive skills are better on phys users
>>500175743>60kLevel 99?If so i dont care
>>500175902nope level 70 with like 89 strengthis it really unbelievable when there's a sword that TRIPLES YOUR DAMAGE retard
>>500175552There are still people who don't like him now, people who didn't like him for the same reasons then voiced that opinion then too. Disappointment that he's an edgelord, being mad at the sympathy the Thieves show for him and reflecting that on their opinion of the character, thinking he's an Adachi knockoff, whatever. With opinion not as settled on the game and characters there were just some that believed their own opinion reflected the general opinion of the character.
>>500176031So you’re telling me that your strohl was doing 20k with just slash boost Hmm
>>500152287Trusting Hulkenberg to find a suitable queen for MC seems like a bad idea in general. And for the most part given the main options the game throws at you are from the more discrimnated races things prolly will be messy for awhile
>>500176315slash boost, slash surge, arcane unity, and short range boost yes
>>500176031>3 turn cost stonecleaver>have a chance of not crittingWas it worth it over just spamming wanton destruction and getting a free turn every turn for the measly cost of one turn?
>>500176671So is your entire setup just having everyone setup buffs debuffs for strohl? How do you get press turns?
>>500176754Both of his options are discriminated races
>>500176905Do you have the MCs ultimate class anon??That's how
>>500176905Blackguard requires eupha and eupha can’t generate her own press turns, you are getting press turns twice at best unless you’re using the generals ice skill on someone
Metaphor is alright, but if you say its yours favorite you eithera) have played no other gamesb) have shit standardsorc) are trolling
So Louis is like a sephiroth

I ended up liking Faker more than I initially imagined, they did good by giving it Free Juggling and Roguery to make up for its inherent lack of offensive power.Having a playable version of Beast Eye feels so fucking good when you need to clutch for a couple of press turns.

>>500179085>>500180146You're gonna get a far more reliable version later too
Atlus philosophy with the gameplay this time around wasn't balance, and that's cool. They really want to see how much you can break the game before it breaks you.
Is there any reason not to just set your entire party to backline on the off chance you get ambushed?
>>500165954Just destroying the scepter just means that people will not have their anxieties sucked up by the scepter anymore. Whether they can overcome it or not is up to the individual, but failing to do so isn't a death sentence. The average person won't have anxieties bad enough that they would turn into a human in their day-to-day life.But Louis doesn't want that. He wants the decision made immediately. "Can you or can't you" and if you can't, then you don't deserve to exist. Anyone that can't overcome their anxieties right now will cause problems in the new world he's trying to make, so they need to be culled. And, of course, there's the added bit about people needing to overcome it alone, whereas MC's crew is all about bonds and helping each other.
>>500180507They really should've added a boss/superboss that messes with turn icons somehow (and also has the defenses to not die to a 1 shot phys setup) once you get "that move" the game just falls apart in terms of difficulty. Even the NG+ superboss can be 1 shot with those setups on hard (idk about regicide but probably)
>>500180768>They really should've added a boss/superboss that messes with turn icons somehowThe final boss has a one turn removing move, but lol
>>500180692I'm much more likely to forget my physical character is on the back line than I am to get ambushed.
>>500180768I kinda thought Elegy of the Soul would've done something similar considering it's whole gimmick. Kind of a missed opportunity
>>500181060 Unfortunately for him, he couldn't handle the setups long enough for it to matter
there has never been a more disappointing game and there's still retards that think this will be goty lmao lmao fuck you
no one cares about this game because the final boss is too easy
>>500179089Cute Hulkenburger

Finished the game, I love that Heismay is still somewhat racist to the paripus even after a year.

>>500182263>release a complete gameWhere did they do that? You mean the other team in February?The story isn't done, the gameplay is not even close to being in a playable state, the graphics are all alpha assets
I still am not sure how the King split himself into MoreI know that Prince's will(lol) is a manifest of magla coming from the book (that Mom managed to help in its creation) but what about More? I know that the King's magic played fault there but I don't think he knew that his son was alive through a tulpa, and if he never was, would he have locked himself in akademia deliberately?
>>500183827>asking questions about an incomplete story This is just elden ring all over again
>>500183827The book itself is a divine relic that materializes the soul/ideal of the user. In this case, the Prince's feelings when reading it created Will, the King's feelings when writing it created More.
>>500184190And then what about the villain Nothing because the game didn't launch complete
>>500183827More was locked away not as part of the royal magic gamble, but because the King gave up on his hopes and dreams.
Did something happen lately to cause us to pick up these shitposters?
So /v has completely moved into these threads after their shitposting friends moved on to the next game, huh?
>>500184190Wait wait but Louis had the same book, doesn't that mean that was also a relic and he can survive easy that way?
>>500184489>Japan thinks the game is worse than compile heart slop Grim
>>500184610Nah leftovers from /v/ who haven't moved on to shitposting about Veilguard
>>500184489>>500183264Those retards still spend money on it, the jokes on them then.
>>500184190Wait when did they say the book is a divine relic, just one specific version of it is OP enough to make tulpas?
Show the good story and gameplay if it exists but it doesn't
>it's another shitpost raid episode
>>500184678I almost believed that too but I think It's only due to the original book, MC's book was the first book the king made so it holds that special power
Goborn King is fucking bullshit on hard. Nonstop AGI+ spam and no way to clear it this early in the game.
Novel Louis will obviously be the dlc expansion antagonist
>>500185114Hmmm most likely but still an interesting thought that helps me to be more delululu about him still being alive
>>500183587Why are you even in this thread? Post your playtime so I know you've actually played the game. If you don't post your playtime, then I accept your concession.
>>500184489>worst thing atlus released this year>a shitty remake and a cashgrab rerelease/portok sure ryong
>>500183264Feels like something that was wrote by someone who spent the major part of his life in a room that's entire cut off from the world.

>>500185963>PULISTUI don't know why they felt they had to change some of the archetype names but it is what it is.
>>500186201Do they think American audiences don't know what a monk is?
It's so weird coming back to the thread after finishing the game and seeing this one /v/tard doing his one man shitposting campaign.
What is this autism
>>500183587>>500185369Still waiting on your answer. If you don't reply in the next 15 minutes then you're admitting to being a shitposting coward and your concession will be formally acknowledged.
>>500186273I don't think that's the case since "monk"'n'shit are vastly used in pretty much any media that portray martial artists in a fantasy light, even western-made.I just have no clues man.
>>500186273It's possible since I'd assume a lot more people associate the term monk with a bald guy who lives in a religious temple than someone who fights with their fists. But DnD has been using monk forever so who knows.
>>500186436>>500186731It's because the other version of "Monk" is already used in referenced to the Sanctist church.
>>500186928What are they called in Japanese then? Mage or some shit?
>>500186731In a fighting context if you say "monk" the first thing people will think of is a shaolin monk, a master of unharmed combat.Look I don't like americans either but we don't have to pretend they're absolute fucktarded and ignorant to the point of being unable to fathom these concepts.
This game is actually pretty hard...I'm in Mausoleum Catacombs right now and enemies hit like a truck and also very tanky. It was fine at first I could spam weakness, but I'm running out of MP. Mage's field MP restore isn't enough.each battle feels extremely unrewarding since they barely give any EXP. at least give me some MP potions ffs!I hate that there's literally no full restore point in a dungeon, like in the safe zone or when leveling up.also fuck that blue ball demon that can self-destruct and summon allies.
>>500187309Are you on hard or normal? You're not supposed to clear dungeons in one day. See how far you can get while conserving MP, and once you run out retire for the day.
>>500187430>You're not supposed to clear dungeons in one daywhat's the normal pacing?I'm on Hard, but thinking of just lower the difficulty. the number of enemy + dungeon length are too overwhelming
>>500187573I'm on hard too and I was doing like 2 save points/shortcuts per day or so. I think I spent a total of 3 days in the catacombs, but I also did the side dungeon before clearing the catacombs for better gear/EXP.
>>500187868How do I get to side dungeon?
>>500187309Ignore this anon >>500187430 and just run by all the overworld encounters until you get to the boss to conserve MP, you don't have to fight every single thing on your screen
>>500183587In accordance with the conditions outlined here (>>500185369, >>500186419) your concession has been accepted, and all credibility of your criticisms has been revoked. No further replies are needed, and the concessions contained in any future posts of yours will be implicitly accepted. Have a good day.
I cleared every dungeon in the game in one day on hard with no grinding. I really don't think you should have to be spending multiple days.
>>500187961Make friends with the brown elf (you'll need wisdom which you can get by sitting on the bench).>>500188004On hard you do need to do some grinding, running past the enemies straight to the boss will be a bad time.
>>500188132fight the mobs you can 1 shot in the overworld then to save MP and still get decent EXP/Levels
does the game end when i finish this quest? or can i still mess around doing other stuff until the last day on the calendar
>>500183827They say somewhere in the game that the book functions as a holy relic, and its likely that it makes your heart's desire (your dream) come true. The prince wanted "Will" since his was taken away. The king wanted "More" from life for him and his people. As all he experienced was pain, suffering, and anxiety, which multiplied when he became king. Not to mention all of his biggest fears coming true with literally everything getting worse under his rule. Given that the king wrote the book during his trip to the Eldan Sanctum, it's likely the book runs on the magic found at the Elda Sanctum, or fairy magic or some shit. Which isn't too out there, considering all the "holy relics" need an energy source. This is probably why Louis couldn't make the book work, because he could never return to where his life was burned down.
>>500188073Every single Persona game expects you to spend multiple days on a dungeon and Metaphor is no different. I do not believe your post to be honest. You'd run out of MP or arrive to the boss under leveled if you tried doing it in one day.
>>500188321 no you get the remainder of your free days after skybound until the 27th where you get locked in the final dungeon permanently
>>500188321no
>>500188470>>500188526cool, thanks
>>500188321The game does not end.
>>500188420The game gives you plenty of MP items and ways to regain MP passively. Also none of the bosses are hard enough that you can't overcome level differences with proper planning.
>>500188073Doable but unlikely, especially earlier on when MP items are in short supply.
>>500188681No it doesn't. I didn't use any MP items for the first dungeon and I had maybe 10 of the +20MP items total. That's not enough to do the entire dungeon in a day on hard, where exploiting weaknesses via skills is required. Did you really play on hard, Anon, or are you lying?
I miss Basilio.
>>500188420I think you might just be bad anon, I've never spent more than a single in game day dungeoning across all the Persona games, Metaphor included>inb4 you're playing on easy mode no way that's possible otherwiseNo retard I always pick the hardest difficulty because it's a color matching video game
The localization is this game makes the average Ted Woolsey script seem quaint
>got the 'all quests' achievementNeat, I assumed I missed some.
>>500188939What do you gain from lying on the internet like this? There are actually not enough MP items that early to sustain a full party through the entire dungeon.
>>500188835Not really sure what to tell you. If there was some way to let you investigate my save file to see dungeon clear times I would show you. I used a lot of Monk/Kung Fu Master to save MP and rotated party members often.
>>500188681>The game gives you plenty of MP itemslies
>>500189075mage class gives you full party MP restore
Reminder that the meta is bas, eupha and heismay.
>>500189194You originally claimed you beat it without grinding, now you're saying you spammed a skill that requires you to repeatedly fight enemies in the overworld for a small MP gain. Dishonest.
>>500189095MP is an issue when you have 3 or 4 party members. Unless you use the Mage trick its pretty much impossible to clear a dungeon.>b-but I can just skip everything to fight the bossYea no shit if you know what the boss do. most people want to fully explore a dungeon instead of rushing>rotated party membersBy that time you have enough shit to get through anything
>>500188936
>>500189375>enter room>fae sight>all the enemies here are blue>ok i'll swap to mage and clear these before moving onIt's that simple. You don't have to sit there and farm them forever. This happens very often in this game.
>>500189861>all the enemies are blue>but I didn't grind and avoided combatAdmit you are a liar and we can move on. Anon was looking for advice on clearing dungeons on hard, and you came in here spreading misinformation for internet tough guy points.
>>500187573Youre supposed to use mage to recover mp early game.If you’re not a fucking retard you will have 4mp recovery accessories by the time you hit martira, which will make mp a non issue until you get shield blessing.Seriously, the game is not that hard how the fuck are people getting filtered by resource management
>>500189740Love this guy
>>500189975Never said I avoided combat. You made that part up. Pretty much every dungeon will have blue enemies in it if you are following the level curve and killing everything.
>>500190204>Never said I avoided combat.>>500188004>and just run by all the overworld encounters until you get to the boss to conserve MP
>>500190114Sorry let me correct myself, after you recruit heismay you can get those accessories and you can get 2 as long as you’re not a retard and save the faker unlock dungeon until after you unlock heismay. The only major dungeon between that point and when the game formally starts is the grand cathedral which you can easily run mage the entire way and keep strohl and hulkenburg on brawler
>>500190347That's not me but that anon is also correct you don't have to fight everything.
>>500189861mage only recovers 1 mp per enemy killed though, there's no way you got enough mp to sustain yourself on HARD in a single day without grinding (going back to farm blue enemies)
So I spent 100 hours+ and just beat the gameOverall it was a fun experienceGameplay is fun, although I hate how everyone gets a unique archetype though. it makes experimenting less rewardingBattle themes are good. the rest are pretty forgettable. Kinda reminds me of FFXII osts. Good ambience but not really memorable like personaStory starts off really strong but kinda fizzle out after dragon island. Louis is still a great villain by jrpg standardsorry but atlus still can't top P3
Why is he such a chick magnet?
>Grius: I'm sure it was Louis that attacked the prince, I saw it with my own two eyes>Grius's journal: I'm sure they have the formula for the spell written down somewhere, we just need to find itFuck you Grius, you led us on wild goose chases for half the game.
>>500190649Hulk didn't actually say she likes you though?
>>500190779For all the Hulk fanart I'm seeing, she had the least hints of romance out of any girl.
>>500190694It's kinda funny how they went after the wrong target despite all their efforts
>>500190694That was not his fault.The build of the person who casted the curse implied it was a 12 year old child with ties to the royal family.Therefore it made perfect sense for him to assume it was Louis since Rella would not have made sense given how she was and Grius didn’t know Forden was evil.
WHY IS CATHERINA NOT A PARTY MEMBER
>>500190958People really don't care as much as shipperfags here care.
>>500191319too sexy for the modern audience just like Hulk's initial ass
>>500191319We got the better Paripus.
>all the anons blatantly lying about doing hard dungeons in a day with no grinding
>>500189740Sauce please
All the Louis fights needed to be wayyyyy harder like I'm talking a 10-20 level increase for all his fights, he's a pushover in every fight except maybe the final boss form. Also imagine how much of a spectacle it'd be to scan Louis in the first fight to see he's level 70 when your party is only 40-50! That'd be badass and actually give some merit to him being the big bad of the game. It's my main criticism with Metaphor, Louis needs to be scarier/stronger.
>>500191998skill issue
>>500192101https://x.com/babykatafan/status/1850917959318806823
>>500190958There's basically none. If anything she's closer to a mother figure than anything else. Junah is openly flirty and hints at wanting to pursue romance at the end, but Eupha goes way further than that, basically initiating romance all on her own. By the end she's doing shit wives usually do for their husbands on the island.
>>500185291>Sukundas your assOoh wow, how did I do that?Probably because I stopped to talk to people, got Faker, and learned enrage mechanics
>>500192148Unfortunately between the game's sloppier writing in the latter half and how powerful you get by the end of the game Louis is doomed to just not be that cool. In the first half he's rad as fuck and that's on full display right up to the Opera House, but once you're past that and you actually hear Louis' plan it all kinda falls apart.
>>500192220Thank you. Fuck I miss being able to search for art on xitter through Likes.
>>500192345I don't have Faker yet but I ended up beating him by just leaving one of his gobbo allies alive and sleeping it. Seems he only ups his evasion if he's the last one left.
>>500190581If a sequel ever happens, I need a scene of warrior monks and humans beating the fuck out of each other.
