I wish you could do pointy ears in elden ring. Now I have to make some other character side it will probably be Louis....

Are the surprise attacks on overworld purely random? Doesn't seem like anything I do is related to the success rate
>>542775947No? You hit the enemy until it stuns and then you press the squad button It was random during development lol
>>542776502Yeah but sometimes I hit them 20 times and get nothing, sometimes I hit them 3 times and I get it
>>542777138Their stamina meter takes more damage the higher level you are
>>542752474the Gecko Eugeif I think are a bit much but the upper right I think they can still realistically do in a future release. Upper left makes me want a woman version of the berserker archetype line
>>542788073>the Gecko EugeifThey weren't Eugief, they were originally the Clemar.The "proto-Louis" design you see there was also the prototype design for Roussaintes.The fish people were scrapped (although mentioned in throwaway dialogue) and the masked brutes were likely repurposed as Mustari.
>>542788431Right but that design very apparently got turned into the eugief
Sex the berg
Women rule this franchise
Do you really wash your hands every day?
>>542795839yes. you are on this site because you don't
>>542796416Damn...
>>542771938I laugh every time he makes this face.
>>542795729I mean even as a straight guy I think Strohl is the best character.
>>542799863he is so cute isn't he

I hope the guy that says SMASH IT ALL TO BITS at the start of every fucking day in the last month gets beaten to death by talking teeth.
>>542752681F A TA S SIRY
>>542824389Once again not playing with dub means I dodged a bullet since I have no clue which guy that is.
Gallica Ogre
Why do "women fans" like boring characters like Strohl?
>>542835478Why is there a blue pom-pom between the two of them? Are they cheer-leading naked?
>>542839937why do "male fans" like boring characters like gallica or fabienne?
>>542840228I don't like Fabienne.
>>542840156the princely pom-pom
>>542824389>>542831497You guys played this game ro the end ?
>>542831497Generally I would say it's the best dub Atlus has ever done. They went the Fromsoft route and got a lot of actual actors from the UK. Unfortunately the protagonist's voice is horrible, but what can you do? Heismay's accent is unplaceable and delightful.https://youtu.be/tR0h4JrBX-A
>>542840276Because she is a fine hag and I like hags.Beside she runs her own business (is financialy stable and independent) and loves kids (even not hers). So she is a perfect match for single fathers (like me).
>>542840871Sorry I was referring to this >>542840228
>>542840382Twice, yes. But in JP.
I think about this game pretty much every day desu
>>542845159I feel you
The reason why you can't date girls in Metaphor is because >80% players would date Gallica and that would be problematic for Westerners.
>>542840871grius...
>>542862715you're delusional lol. they specifically didn't want romance in this game to set it apart from persona

>>542891875I'm too tired
>>542891875I just smoked 5 fags
I just tried to steal Louis's crabby patty formula and I already forgot what it was about. I just wanted to sex the Junah girl.
I wasn't paying attention to the Alozno social link because he seemed fake and gay to me. I just read the [!] blurb and it says he got executed at 7/8? Huge if true. Bet it was a fakeout tho.
Does Samurai's Attack Lore (automatically incerases wielder's Attack at the start of battle) stack with inherited skills like Flawless which "Automatically increases wielder's Attack/Defence/Hit/Evasion at the start of battle. " ?
>>542839937he's basically a mouthpiece for will so the attention is on him often, and i guess he handsome in a way that will isn't.idk i am not a strohl fujo but the vanilla flavor he offers (as well as pairing him with will) is appealing to some girls; many woobify him because of this though
>>542899705Bait
>>542902093Please respond Ladies (not Sirs)
>>542902093I don't know
>>542902093Ok I changed my mind, Sirs, please respond... not Ladies...
>>542914039Too busy fapping to the berg
>>542914039All the pre-battle buff skills apply one stack of the buff. You can't get it higher than 2 on a single stat but once you get General and the utilitarian manual it hardly matters anyway since General Junah courtesy name Junus Mengde will keep your stat buffs up constantly
>>542920181It's very fair
Louis nut fat
>>542919545>General Junah courtesy name Junus MengdeWhat the hell??? Mengede is the guy who experiment on my grandparents in the holocaust.
>>542897994more like bummed 5 fags lmao
>>542926876First you're from cambodia and now you're a jewBut the spirit is the same I guess
I want new content
>>542936985I just wish that the game had done more with the gauntlet runner planning. There's like one time in Brilehaven when there's any strategizing to do with it at all, the teleporter and later flight trivializes everything. I was hoping the ONE THING differentiating from Persona was more of a focus.
Is there a video of all those one-off conversations you can have after the human squid fight or do I have to learn how to make it myself?
>>542953431This game flopped no one cares about any of the characters
>>542899705its fake and gay
Slop and flop
>>542953431I just reloaded for all of them.I only remember Gallica's and the Magnus Bros being noteworthy.
Imagine if the only reasonable way of getting Archetype EXP was by using Hunt skills to finish off weakened enemies
>>542963937I remember DDS less fondly each time I think about it desu I'd kind of forgotten how much I hated DDS2 even as I would listen to some of the music from it which was all great but what the fuck were they thinking with basically every single other thing about the game I never liked the party constantly breaking up format of both games either, especially not after 2 thought it was a good idea to make almost all the death scenes vague enough that they ended up not feeling like death scenes at all
>>542963937That would be a good justification for breaking out the cheats if you ever had to grind.
>>542964178I still love DDS but yeah, DDS2 is rough, although I do like the stuff with Serph and Heat's "original selves", but overall it's just a really unsatisfying followup to the original.
I just want to die
>>542965465i liked the dungeons in dds2 more but constantly losing party members was annoying. it was more like the sera/serph game.

Why is everything always so terrible
Is the action combat just frustrating and shitty for anyone else? It's been bugging me a little the whole game but this skeleton clusterfuck in the royal palace is horrible. I've spent half the game sneak attacking things only to end up ambushed because they take so many hits to stun even by surprise.
>>543024527yeah it's shit
>>543024527Not really Even if you're in the red you shouldn't have to put more than 2 full combos into a strong enemy to get it to stagger
Just fucking kill me already
>>543024527I am playing for the first time and I don't see the issue. The sneak attacking is super annoying when you want to do it for the cheevo, but you can always just instantly start turn based from afar, and it's not like the sneak attack does enough damage to justify itself.Playing on hard btw.
>>543032218>the furry chud duo is here to stayI knew it...
>>543032892anon what's wrong
>>543034379Nobody acknowledges me as a woman
>>543034746t. klingerschizo
>>543034249You mean the furry chad duo
>>543033867It's annoying when you need to destroy the flower/crystal things that you CAN'T use triangle for, but that keep spawning enemies that can ambush you.Also in general the gameplay flow just isn't as smooth as P5 because of it.
flop
>>543041975what would I give to ruffle his hair
>>543037597Yeah but none of us Metaphor fans think our game can compare to Persona 5
>>543047558of course, we know our place
Zorba
>>543049315I don't
You can't bait out engagement by doing this Most of the butthurt p3schizos that were clinging to this game just because they couldn't kill 5 move on to other things long ago. Like HRT
>finally get a good look at Agrica>she's just Fairy KupalaCute!
>>543082184Also I just beat the MC Clone and man, Royal Berserker carrying me really hard, the shit anyone else does is almost trivial in comparison. Strohl never hits his fucking crits. I really hate crit-chasing builds because they never happen.
what to do before tyrant's star, final boss? I have 8 days remaining and already maxed all followers
>>543087315you're probably already screwed out of doing every quest because you probably didn't start the colosseum ranked matches
>>543088607I did the colosseum achievement, tho I don't have the do all quests achievement. I already skipped the debates so not going for 100% anyway
>>543088750there's two things, there's the cheevo for 30 consecutive fights and the mission you get for completely finishing gold rank and then doing the final fight
>>543032892*punches your incel face*die die die

grr
Weird how there's literally no porn of the sluttiest Metaphor girl, at least nothing on gelbooru. Overall, all the girls are massive commercial failures for the hentai industry compared to Persona.
>>543117189>Weird how there's literally no porn of the sluttiest Metaphor girl, but theres lots of hentai of the whore fairy?
>>543117189Yeah, Maria only has maybe 2-3 pictures and AIslop
>>543118917
>>543118917Who's maria?
>>543119939my wife
>>543119939
>>543087315I'm at about the same spot. I was thinking of taking the gauntlet runner through that "land only" segment again and using some bath salts.
>>543121580Uhm, bro? Why do you have this image saved? Are you a pedophile?
>>543126835no
I am korean
>>543132705why?
I'm at the last day, anything I should stock up on from stores?
>>543142938anything from late game shops if you're planning on playing NG+
>>543141252Haha this is funny
ruichan i lov u
whos having a melty this time
>>543142938Get all the igniters and magic shop items because you won't get to see them again for most of the next run
What the fuck is wrong with that Eupha dungeon? Filled with bloated HP monsters and no saves.
>>543158379git gud lmao
>>543150396d-don't cut his hair too short
>>543158379It's being true to the source material.The dungeon pacing is definitely weird especially with some of the gimmick dungeons they had and the Mage Academy seeming like cut content. And a lot of the sidequest dungeons just seem half-assed, not to mention having really lacking recycled visuals.
>>543150396make him bald
>>543164459I wouldn't mind it if it wasn't filled with random dead ends which look like they have [blue] treasure, but instead it's [green] garbage. I get it, haha PC keyboard, it's what humans used to use before they were mutated by China vs America nuclear war. You don't have to give me 12 more of them.
>>543164459Metaphor's dungeons mogged pretty much everything we've seen in both SMT and Persona for years. And yes that includes P5, because Zelda esque dungeons where the puzzles solve themselves just aren't the same as classic layouts. Like some of those forest areas have better layouts than every single dungeon - if you can even call them that - in SMTV. It's ridiculous.
It's interesting how the last girl you get is always the worst girl. It was true in Persona 4 (although Naoto is at least good for hentai), Persona 5 (easily, no contest), Persona 3 (I forgot who the last girl was but it was probably Aigis, so I am correct) and now at last I can truly see it's also true in Persona M.
>>543172517actually, you just consistently have the epitome of garbage taste
>>543173258>projecting(literally projecting, literally using the literal definition of the word btw)
>>543173550From every post you've made so far you really do sound like a total dumbass so it's not like this comes as a surprise
>>543173818>so it's not like this comes as a surprise [that you're correctly pointing out that I am projecting my garbage taste onto you]I'm correctly using the quote function this time, with the [...] part is me explaining what you just implied with your post.
>>543170405>SMTV>dungeons
>>543172517I look like Eupha IRL and this hurts me greatly
>>543179021How do you manage the eye? I hope you worked out a better approach to bangs than Eupha.
Does beating Ceiba/Glechom determine which of them shows up in the epilogue? I was wondering if the guy I never met would show up too but I didn't see him.
>>543172517I like Naoto and Haru the most from those games. And hey, don't talk about Catherina that way.
>>543170296There was a lot of that in EO1 too. It does get silly after a while especially if you already got it beaten into your head by EO. But I hope it got more people interested in the games.>>543170405I would generally call them similar to P5's, though nothing as unpleasant as the Space Station dungeon.SMTV's dungeons were pretty embarassing though I did like the overworld. I still have VV to play now that I'm rolling credits on Metaphor. Though I feel like my RPG backlog is out of control after all the cool releases in recent years.
>>543191351They all should be there I think
>>543194519I must have missed him somewhere. It took me a fair few laps to find Lina for whatever reason.
fidelio grinding his ass on your clothed cock while innocently sitting in your lap in a public space!
>>543196836Please don't talk about Fidelio like this
>>543197763he loves it though
Man the combat mechanics in this game are so fucking retarded. I died 0 (zero) times to any of the bosses but some of the random "elite" (?) enemies killed me at least 3 times and the crystals take half my HP with one attack and sometimes they spawn trash and sometimes they spawn semi-elite enemies (that can still solo the party because 7 AoE attacks, which no boss ever does).JRPGs just love getting off on not telling any of the damage calculations and no one ever complains about it because muh epic big numbers.
>>543200427this is why e33 is better
>>543200427It feels like the invincible noodles were made solely for dealing with the crystals.
Is this Mandela effect? I could've sworn that one of the Archetypes had a ranged attack in the overworld, but now I can't find it.
>>543203372It's the gunner.
>>543203458I thought so but then I switched to it and he just whipped the air in front of him with the wrong end of his crossbow
>>543200427It sounds like the player is the retard in this situation
>still seething because he got rekted by my supreme intellect
The dumbest posters are always the most aggressive >>543203663Gunner and Trickster have ranged attacks. You can't shoot until you're targeting something and instead you have an emergency melee attack.
>>543204019How's she doing?
>>543204220haha fine as always, how's your kids derek?
There is an extreme lack of hebes in this game.
>>543207279you are a pedophile. just play persona
>>543207279This is a game for adults who like mature women.So is P5 but there's a bunch of retards who want to date the party members for some reason.
>>543204083It took me too long to realize Trickster is ranged. Though I can't imagine why you'd ever play as Trickster. It's kind of an "only to be inherited" class.
>>543208128It's basically the go-to for debuffs for like 75% of the game, and in the last 25% if you put War Cry on one and you basically have the opposite of the General class
I just realized Hulkenberg is from Montario because Racoona is from Ontario
>>543207641no he said he was a hebephile
>>543214745>More's cat beat Forden
>>543218902No one wants to vote for the old guy pretending to be a moderate
>>543214745>Catherina that lowPeople didn't appreciate the party member bait I guess.
Why do my companions not use their archetypes' overworld passives to help me in the overworld?
>>543230370they're freeloading bums
>>543224938I think they just didn't appreciate her character simple as that
>>543221915I do
Which Metaphor girl would have the best taste in anime? And the worst taste?
>>543240749Junah got the best taste because she is an artistic soul.And her sister would have the shittiest taste because she is just too serious for animu.
>>543214745Why does anyone like Eupha?
>>543246198How can you not like her. She is the purest and truest maiden.
>>543246727I'd probably like her more if she kept the mask on.
>>543246198Her romantic interest in the MC is most unambiguous. In a game that didn't give much meat to waifufags, she has the most.
>>543246198Piss off aggressive dumb poster.
>>543249994piss off mate
Heh, you are dumb and aggressive.
I read dostoevskyfor breakfast
No you don't, you probably read shonen, that's why you're so aggressive
HxH is seinen
>>543248783I can't believe I never got the chance to actually use the Mothman summon...
ick
>>543253420I had to go out of my way a little bit to get the most out of the summons on a second run but that was mostly because I got too preoccupied with everyone shouting Persona
>>543264275why is this not a mod
>>543266124It literally is It's one of the only two /meta/ mods
I don't like how the game actively discourages me from bringing Strohl as my date to the Dragon Festival, because the reward always gives +MP, so all the archetypes that want +MP recovery per turn are nonbergian women.
>>543275007Give in and make Strohl a caster out of spite.
>>543264275I got all of them on my first run but by the time I got them I was using Royal Summoner who doesn't use vessels. >>543264275>because I got too preoccupied with everyone shouting PersonaThey only do this if you're a Persona Master with Summoner Mask, right?
>>543275326It doesn't matter what you make him, he always gives you a greatsword with +MP recovery.
>>543276359Yeah, I mean give him the +MP Sword and then inherit spells onto him.
I like how in the Eigo (English) dub you can instantly tell that the hooded man who declares Louis dead is Zorba.
>>543279809It's even more obvious in Japanese because it's fucking Sugita.
Why haven't we wiped SEA off the map yet
>>543290741What did they do?
>>543291324What haven't they done at this point
>>543293201But what does it have to do with my videogames
>>543294974Because they make up the majority of steam users with the chinks
Persona 6 will flop
>>543275007Everyone wants MP though
>>543309159I don't
>>543275007I could play this game a hundred times and I don't think the idea of picking a date based on the usefulness of the item you get would have occurred to me once.
>>543312207yes you do
Just let it go this game will never be popular again
>>543290741what did we do?

finally this shit is good again
>>543380238
>More chapterI sleep
>>543383665he only really has a handful of pages, shut up
I hope they aren't setting this up to cut Joanna's execution out of the story
On the other hand this scene with Gallica was great
I'm not sure how much I like the use of More in this. More never talked to or was aware of the player, only his complete form was, and up until the moment More reunites with the rest of his soul he doesn't remember why he started frantically writing Seeker names all over the Royal Magic scroll. The reason why this ends up being weaker is less because of the details being slightly different but because More's entire role in the game is to show what his ideal was, why it broke down, and why he had faith in it in the end by remembering everything gradually up until the very last moment of the story. He isn't omniscient like Igor, even with his true face in the sky he's a failure like the Archetypes are a failure despite having the best intentions and everything he has left is dedicated to trying to prevent the only thing he has to pass on from being a failure also.
>>543386391>More never talked to or was aware of the playerOne of the first things you do upon starting the game is listening to More talking to (You) to input your name and asking you if you believe in fantasy.But you're right that it'll weaken the end reveal considerably since the rest of his character hinges on being the King, and him helping Will (provided he somehow doesn't kill himself here) will end up strange if they've never talked to each other
>>543387051You aren't talking to More, you're talking to the king who actually tried to contact you after he activated the Royal Magic and found out Will was alive and before he's killed by Louis. More explicitly doesn't know anything about your or anyone else's name in the scroll for almost the entire runtime of the game - all he has is a vague recollection because it happened before he was created. This is also why he only comes back to talk to you again at the very end of the story after both parts are reunited.
spot the gigachad of JRPGs
>>543388805I don't remember sakurai making a jrpg
>>543387776it's more, anon. at least, the game files list the speaker as more and it uses more's voice, not hyth's.
>>543389178same anon. my mistake, it's not listed as "more," but "scheming man" is listed as another name for more in the files.
>>543389361This doesn't really have anything to do with what happens in the actual story though
God why is hulkenberg not real and why can't I have sex with her every day
>>543387776>found out Will was aliveWhere does it state that the king knows the prince is alive? Isn't it just that he hopes he is? More himself says he thought the prince was long dead (when discussing the Royal Magic).
>>543389868
>>543391925This is at the very end, he had his plan to move forward with using the Royal Magic so the people would decide the next king, then when he turned it on he found out Will was still alive. So he started frantically looking for a Seeker to help him out. Then he died hoping that the general public would eventually choose him.
Damn, the Drakodildos is actually kinda mid as a weapon, not gonna N G L.
The Metaphor MC is such an "OC donut steel" character>you see, he has heterochromia eyes>he is part (metaphor for white people = white people with horns) and part (magical N-word, the most hated race, even though they didn't do nothin)>he has a personal assistant, and everyone likes him>whenever he is not in the scene, characters ask "where is MC?"

I cucked the last two Basil entries, everything is marked as cucked in my cucking list and yet I didn't get the cucking achievement yet. I see there's also an achievement for cucking with Maria, do I have to do that too?

>>543414874Ok now I get it, there's one more recipe I was supposed to get after cucking all other 20
>>543414874>>543416014a-anon I don't think that's the word you were meant to use
>>543416993They just have cucking on the brain I guess.
Ok, I'm willing to admit that too many cucks will spoil the broth. But they fill our hearts with so much joy.

>>543407780The heterochromia is annoying and I was relieved as hell when it went away.

If they do a direct sequel will it be like Strikers?
>>543418646I hope not, Strikers sucked past the halfway point
>>543418591We're on /vg/, we're all on the spec.
>>543418824Which Atlus games don't?

I'm glad Soejima finally fully adopted the Kaneko eyeliner. MegaTen doesn't feel right without it.
I lost weight while playing P4G. I maintained it during P5R, P5S, P3R and P5T (~140 pounds). Then I gained 22~25 pounds while playing Metaphor throughout this year. Coincidence? I don't think so.
>>543432732That is the literal definition of a coincidence
>>543432732>while playing Metaphor throughout this yearIt's not that long of a game.
>>543432732Your body naturally responded to the lack of romance and let itself go.
