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.

Just finished the game. It might topple Persona 3 for my favorite. Need some time to think on it. It's absolutely not perfect but it's the sheer amount of soul had me constantly smiling. I absolutely love the whole ending sequence where you go around talking to people. The kingdom is still kind of a mess and they weren't afraid to not just give you a boilerplate "everything ended up perfect" ending.

As someone that's new to press turn holy fuck one more is dogshit compared to this. Although the game feels a little too easy to break at the end. I ended up oneshotting the final boss with a 48K damage crit.

Easy game of the year and I have no fucking clue how P-Studio manages to follow this up for Persona 6.

Altabury pacing issues originate from having a ton of shit being dropped on you with no opportunity to break out until all the story beats are done there
You get a new character with no real opportunity to test them out until all the story is done
Then you just have a couple side dungeons to do
It returns to form when you return to grand trad though.

>already getting archetype tier list videos in YouTube feed
And here I thought it couldn’t get much worse than people insisting each party member has to be on their Royal archetype. Considering how much weight weapon attack has over every other factor until late game, you could make the argument that any archetype you find/purchase a rare weapon for early in each arc/deadline will carry you till the next deadline begins.
Is this the result of Persona/MegaTen-only players getting a taste of meaningful party building?

I used Tycoon MC with minimal STR investment and still dabbed on everything. I’m not arguing about the game’s difficulty (it’s fairly average if not on the easier side) but rather the idea that disparities between archetypes are significant enough to say that one is barely functional while another solos all content.
Of course all the royals are going to be better than their elite counterparts in one way or another, but if you’re comparing all standard/non-exclusive archetypes at equal stages by the time you’ve unlocked them all, they’re all going to relatively equal in strength except for Berserker which is unabashedly OP. The real consideration for a NG playthrough is bond gating, which makes Dragoon feel like an odd side grade to the Mage line and Martial Artist suffers from little brother syndrome due to Berserker
>>
You're actually retarded if you cant grasp the genius in louis' plan. Both he and the mc are idealist that see how absurd the status quo is. The only difference is louis' plan is do or die. If humans cannot overcome their anxiety and the darkness within then they will be mindless beasts. Those that overcome will create a kinder gentler world because they wont be ruled by fear, anxiety and darkness. Its sad tho that we can only achieve utopia by becoming something other than human.

Charge is misworded by the localization team. Also it's not just charge, but an accessory that triples damage as well as max everything and a half with crit. Everything is there for big dick damage if you really want it.

>>500374930
Oh, an idiot then. Look, I'm not gonna get into trauma wanking with you, but having an epiphany in the depths of a personal hell is hardly a solid basis for thinking these ideas have any merit. Good people are often born from shitheads, and shitheads are often born from good people. There's no strict notion of a parent's strength of heart being transferred to a child and events will still transpire that can throw all of that out the window. You're better off trying to form a more stable base for which these good personalities can grow in, and one that follows a decimated society is not going to be that. I get where you're coming from, but you really have to understand that your personal situation is not effective for the masses and simply never will be.

>Fixing the slightly rushed writing in the final 3rd of the game
>More dungeon gimmicks to make them less boring by endgame
>More weather effects

Here's how to do the Mage Academy. Extended that Montario timeframe for 2 days for extra time and move the rest of the events to 2 days later (Duel on Sept 26th, Day of Hero October 29th). Similar to the Chardrius infiltration, make it so you have to reach the end of the dungeon by the 24th but you don't fight the boss. Then on the 25th you fight Rella. Louis challenges you to a duel the evening of the 25th for the evening of the 26th. This fixes the retarded decision of not going to the Eldan Sanctuary for two weeks after the Prince woke up.

You will get up to 4 as you unlock bonds.
Be careful with what you unlock unless you love grinding. Early archetypes aren't bad but more advanced ones can get expensive and each character has an ultimate archetype requiring specific unlocks and levels of others. Complicating things is wizard and masked dancer (paladin as well but it's more expensive to get) get absolutely required SP regeneration skills so everyone wants to dip into one of those at some point.
In the cathedral you're probably going to swap every archetype you have throughout it to cover damage types in various fights.

>why did the people who worked on the presidential candidates campaign get positions after he won and got into power?
Strohl is a nobleman and an ally from before you were even in the race to become king. His new position is fitting for a nobleman who was loyal in times of crises
Hulkenburg is formerly a member of the royal guard, why would she not be appointed to the royal guard and promoted after going above and beyond the her call of duty in service of the crown. Same for Heismay
The party are the only people in the world that even know how to use magic without an igniter, who the fuck else would be appointed to run the magic academy?
Eupha is a member of a lesser tribe and has a level head. She was appointed to chief magistrate because whoever had that job earlier was sentencing lesser tribes to death with no evidence.
Basilio I don't remember what it was but didn't sound like anything of real importance. He should have opened a restaurant like he and Del dreamed of.

Take a look at the world, fren. Even the best of intentions from a good parent for a child's upbringing can still go awry by the other environmental factors in their lives. Tragedy can throw the kid off a better path, misunderstandings can fester and boil, loneliness can creep in even when least expected. Good parents does not mean the child would turn out great and every parent would also have to know the difference between being a good parent and being a nice parent, which is a very common failing. On the other end, shitty parents can set their child off on the wrong path, but through similar factors, the kid can find their own way. Even a role-model of what not to be is still a role-model.
That's why simply axeing shitty (not even the case in Louis' vision) people from the world isn't going to magically make it a nicer place for years to come. Negative emotions will find their way into people's hearts regardless. That's why it's best to have a proper environment to curtail these effects. Such a proper environment not being the case in Louis world on account of the destruction that happened not too long ago.

They just wanted to have one of each as part of the group and they have Neuras for the Ishkia. It's no different from there being no playable fairy. The Rhoag absence is more felt than the Ishkia absence, but I suppose the intention was that Grius was the Rhoag representative.

It works in the bad end. It had nothing to do with it not being possible to deal with anxiety.

I've not seen anyone anywhere look at Louis and have trouble understanding what his plan is actually accomplishing the way 2 or 3 people here seem to

Even up in the thread, I was talking about the absolute massacre that's imminent with all the new humans spawned and the defenses were, "it's fine because some people survive and life goes on", "the game didn't talk about it so it's a non-issue", and "why do you hate fujos this is just fujophobia because cosplayers don't have sex with you".
If it's something else and I'm needlessly besmirching the good reputation of fujoshis everywhere then feel free to explain.

Wrong. All educated and informed opinions are valid, and no educated, informed opinion uses 'soul' as the crux of its argument. If you were reading two reviews for any kind of media, with the first concisely and properly breaking down the pros and cons of the media in question, while the second one is just the statement
>It's not perfect, but it's got SOUL, 10/10!
You would have to be retarded to treat both of those reviews as equally valid.

>A game being charming, which is almost always what people mean when they say 'soul', doesn't make up for mechanical and narrative blunders.
yes it does, if you're into that, why are you making absolutist statements about what is acceptable to enjoy, you retard, art has no rules like that. to me, no atlus game has good gameplay, I don't like turn based shit at all, or spending hours wandering dungeons.

Is it mandatory to destroy the crystals that spawn mobs? I'm in the dungeon on the island and there's a crystal right next to a rest point.

I feel like the game should have done a better job with setting up the premise with the prince. I think they should have established his character a lot better for why everyone would think he would be the best ruler for the country. It feels like they went into the story with the twist in mind and just worked backwards to justify it. I mean the game might as well blatantly treat will like he's already the prince in everything but name only.

It's kinda basically the same issue I had with Persona 5. The game just kind of treats your parties actions as being just and morally correct by default and it kind of works against the more nuanced moral quandaries the game tries to bring up when "whichever side your party is on" is the right answer without even justifying it.
>>
>>500433195
Trying to kill someone that murdered the king and supposedly cursed the prince is morally correct by default actually. Not to mention all the other things they know he did.

I didn't care for the prince, but opposing Louis and Forden isn't some morally ambiguous move in any case so I don't think that really feels like an issue. I don't like that it's implicitly trusted that the prince should be king, but at the same time I found it pretty easy to accept he'd be a better choice than those two.

P5 does a better job of making the villains ridiculously evil. Too much, in fact.
The problem with Metaphor is that the group is running around playing savior when their goal is to put an 8 year old on the throne during a time of crisis and turmoil in the kingdom just because he was born with the right bloodline.
It is stupid, but not an unrealistic motivation. It could have worked if handled with some moral ambiguity.

>>500435161
>moral ambiguity
I feel like this is just a placeholder for "I just want to play a bad guy" whenever it comes up
There's already a whole scene in this game where the MC succumbs to his anxiety and goes off about how his position was hopelessly idealistic which contributes to an overall point about how a true king needing to be able to balance idealism and realism. There isn't a "problem" with how these elements were depicted and it was sure done in a much more interesting way than a teen's wet dream of examining the morality of every single thing that happens in every single story

Even better, Roger got a scene at the end of the game where he tries to side with Louis and gets told off by other candidates. It's like they tried to write the most anti-libertarian libertarian they could. And somehow I doubt they were trying to make some kind of "most libertarians are hiding ulterior motives" statement with him. It was probably the most frustrating aspect of how the game pretends that it's presenting various ideologies without giving them any real depth.

I wish Louis had the crazy face portraits Adachi and Akechi get in Persona. I suppose he's put in a villainous role from the start so there's no cause for the heel turn that leads to the crazy faces they make, but it was always a highlight playing each Persona for the first time and seeing the portraits change to these cartoonishly evil looking ones. Even Ikutsuki had it.

If she was like a P4U character it'd probably be Margaret, seeing as Margaret summons a variety of Personas and Eupha's the Summoner.

They want you to use basilio.
The two party setups that exist in this game are
>eupha, heismay/hulkenburg, basilio
>junah, strohl/hulkenburg/heismay, basilio
The latter is an unreliable setup that relies on setting up one big nuke with junah while the former is all about creating press turns on bosses with no weaknesses.
Junah is generically useful on a single boss in the game that repels all but that is the only scenario where you would stray away from these setups.
I don’t know why strohl doesn’t at least have one synth skill that creates a slash weakness.
>>
>>500458981
I was expecting this from Batlin but he ended up being based so it doesn't really bother me too much
Goro in the hallway with the foolish woman line was magical though
>>
>>500458981
In a way I was waiting for it and I would have enjoyed it but it makes sense Louis is in a wicked way noble and not unhinged. Unlike Goro and Adachi he always thought it was for something good.

>>500459249
Or just use Berg/Junah/Eupha and you can donk off two uses of blackguard's hammer and still have party charge + healing + battle harem moral support

Heismay and to a lesser extent hulkenburg if you prefer to tank with her is mandatory for anything remotely challenging in this game
You’re not just going to simply tank 10+ press turns unscathed even if you dodge most attacks especially when endgame bosses like to use dekaja and dekunda
>>
>>500459872
Because the idea of party charge is that everyone in the party takes advantage of it

Oh, I did not catch on to that but it makes sense.
>>
>>500459872
This party setup lets you get two press turns ON THE PROTAGONISTS turn specifically. Which means of course that you might as well not have any real use for them. What makes basilio useful (with eupha) is that blackguard and wanton destruction create 2 press turns that basilio, heismay and eupha could use for support spells and you can actually mantain buffs while keeping at least 1 debuff on the boss per turn (preferably the atk/def one from faker).
As long as heismay uses knights proclamation he will dodge one of the first attacks even if its aoe allowing you to skip the bosses dekaja

Slap the dodger's ring on Eupha and she deletes all press turns anyway. Which doesn't really affect anything because RS synth skills are ass.

>>500462623
I beat him around that level
never had to grind in this game
just assume if you've unlocked it you should be able to beat it
>>
>>500462623
If you want to be safe do the main dungeon first. You could probably do it now if you really wanted to.

If you beat the 3 dragons then you're good to fight him.

Sadly Metaphor suffers from the same problem as every Persona where the character portraits are extremely limited in terms of expression. At least in those games they had the excuse of each character having like seven different outfits, but not here where they only have two each at most.
I never understood why Hashino puts so little value in body language as a means of conveying emotion.

The answer was pretty fast as a follow-up, I hope they fucking planed the DLC already and are on it. But that one rumor about them still being on the same engine should hint to it. If they did something new they should switch to Unity like the other new games of other divisons.

finished the game, was very fun in a Code Geass trainwreck sort of way

Story and game balance went full retard at the end, never go full retard
Why do jrpgs always end up with fighting godlike beings? the start of the game had me optimistic this was something new and not the usual jrpg antics they've been doing for 30 years

I really thought Catherina was going to be our last member and then they gave me Basillio >mfw
atleast switch the brothers around

Would I like smt v or is it very different from this?

Metaphor's take on press turn is worlds better than SMTV's. It actually feels like i'm playing a video game again and not just a fucking dampener simulator. And yes i played both games on hard.

You’d hate SMTV primarily because the entire plot by the midpoint becomes killing godly deities while attempting to become one. Dunno about Vengeance’s story but the main attraction there are four literal harlots jumping into the original release’s areas to metaphorically rape you of your knowledge

>>500470682
NTA but in SMTV (the original release at least) basically every boss until late game can be shutdown and reduced to a joke of a fight by an inexpensive item that you can purchase at every save point. The items are called dampeners, and they blocked a specific element on all allies once per use, with the easiest way to use them is wait for the enemy to perform their “charging” action and use the appropriate dampener to completely block their attack, which not only eliminates the damage if the element is correctly matched but consumes an extra icon with most bosses only having two press turn icons, effectively causing them to waste that turn while you lay into them offensively or rebuff/heal without worry knowing your item cucked them hard.
The only caveat to using them was a 3-per-fight limit, which was more than enough to clear most bosses on your first try if you spyglassed their skill list. Metaphor has similar strategy as well with Knight’s Protect/Magic Guard Tetrakarn or Dodger Ring on Heismay, but they at least require more forethought and cost-benefit analysis than simply using an infinitely purchasable item. Additionally, bosses in Metaphor have more anti-turncucked technology such as Dragon enrages and not telegraphing as hard, though it matters little when one shot autists still get 70K crits before the enemy can act.

Why does the flame dragon keep using his 9999 party wide skill? Normally that reads as an anti-cheese measure but I don't have any elemental repels equipped.

All of the motivations for unlocking an Archetype have felt wonky at best and mostly unrelated to actual character personalities (especially Heismay) but how the fuck did Junah do it? We were a total stranger to her.

Generally, it’s because most Atlus superfans had only played the most popular JRPGs in existence prior (Pokemon, FF, etc), so anything new seems like the best thing ever especially since press turn has had a long time to improve resulting in neat stuff like weakness-creation and early game nulls.
The other part is every Atlus game has some day one guide written for all the people that fear not 100%ing the game in one go, and it results in a lot of fragile pride stemming from “common consensus” suggestions (see: STR vs MAG debates across every MegaTen and now Metaphor, despite both being more than capable of getting you through all content in every game)

The late game dungeon (the very top right desert ruins area above the capital) that has 2 mimic enemies that you can infinitely steal 3k A-EXP items from, that's a really good place to grind.

Spoilers for final dungeon

There's a respawning enemy in the final dungeon that gives 5-7k A-EXP per kill and 30-40 Leaves of Light. If you're planning on grinding for all Archs save it for that dungeon if you don't care too much about your build.

Nah, quite a few bosses have multiple magatsuhi viable moves and its not impossible to guess wrong and die at the particular HP gate. For example Amanozako's sidequest in Chiyoda or some of the bosses in the Demi-Fiend DLC. What really broke Vanilla V was Accursed Poison since a not insignificant amount of enemies were vulnerable to seal including bosses.

The game didn't start true development until 2019. 2017 was essentially a recruitment drive and then they worked on Catherine Full Body to give the studio some new experience. The game probably was absolutely fucked development wise in 2020 and 2021 because of COVID, so we got a game that maybe had 3ish years of proper development time.

I exclusively pick the shithead options and couple those with the dazzlingly retarded options to seamlessly self-insert.

Its great that i don have to worry about my social links not going up in this game so I just pick whatever sounds fun instead of guidefagging

Strohl has to be at least part Yosuke because he is the one always making the plans.

Are you ignoring your anxieties, anon?

Will is Door + Aigis
Junah is Haru + Rise
>>
>>500501783
I have more anxieties than you'll ever know, but I face them head-on each day because my personal failings to do so only adds to their number due to this train wreck of a life somehow getting worse and worse by the day. I might be insane, or I might just be tempered, but I will never be jaded.

>>500501783
My anxieties are what kept me alive!

The King (the head of the Executive branch) being married to the Chief Magistrate (the head of the Judiciary) has no regard for the separation of powers and is extremely scandalous
>>
>>500504093
That doesn't matter at all in an absolutist monarchy though. He's already guilty of cronyism, do you really think they're going to draw the line at him banging one of them?

Hmmm... Nobody out and about at this time of night, eh? Nobody to judge or stone me for speaking sweetly scandalous slurs?
I'd cry out for the ladies and gentlemen, but my audience is nowhere to be seen, so let's skip right to the main event!
AHEM, PARIPIGG-
Eh?
Oi, boy! What's someone as young as you doing out so late?
Me? Oh I was just uh... just acting the fool, I suppose.
You got nowhere else to go, huh? Well, I have no small amount of connections. I'm sure we can find you a place to stay, boy. I can't particularly blame you if you don't believe me, I suppose. Let me at least put you up at an inn for the night, alright? We can find you some place more permanent in the morning. Until then, keep your ears perked and your dreams sweet.

Yes.
You don't need to clear the towers at all though, just sprint to the top.

Imma be real here being American sounds like a pain in the ass right now

No better feeling than taking all the FOE fights on NG+ and getting unscathed victory every time because of the phys reflect accessories

So the only ones that are implied to have romantic feelings for the protagonist are Eupha, Junah, Catherina and Gallica?
>>
>>500519312
You're missing Brigitta, I think
>Gallica
When was that implied?
>>
>>500519502
Brigitta seems to see the mc more as her idol or something rather than a romantic interest
>>
Love the sprites in battle party list. Everyone just looks pissed.
>>
I cleared the Nord mines, do I still need MC with Mage? Right now I want to eventually switch to a STR archetype, putting points in STR and a mix of VIT, AGI and LUC.
>>
>>500520367
MC is canonically a STR user
>>
>>500520638
Yeah, but right now I just have MC and Strohl. I'm sure old man-kun will be fine and survive and retire and live with his daughter, but right now, do I still need him in Mage? The Nord Mines had phys-resistant enemies.
>>
>>500520367
You can play early to mid game without spend a single points in stats even in Hard
>>
>>500520997
Nice, I'd be a FILTHY, INFERIOR magic user for a while longer then before I can switch to the WORLD OF STRENGTH.
>>
>>500521604
STR mogs MAG in this game and MC's ultimate archetype is STR so go for it
>>
I cringe everytime Junah do the teehee pose

You didn't beat the game.

Me? I play on autoplay, everything is calculated.

>>500497927
It's ok. The "true" dungeon is literally just one asset repeated from beginning to end and there's certain part of the plot that's really stupid.
>>
>>500523574
How is it even possible? The game gave you alot of free times.
