Common Questions
>"How should I build my MC?"
Realistically anything works, you won't brick yourself even on Hard or Regicide. Common consensus is a hybrid STR/MAG/AGI is best.
>"What is the best team comp?"
Just about everything works, do whatever you like the most and it'll work on any difficulty.
>"How should I manage my time?"
There's more than enough time in the game to 100%, do whatever you'd like.
>"Which royal virtues should I focus on?"
Prioritize eloquence and tolerance and avoid courage boosts.
>Royal Slash scales based on the higher of your STR or MAG.

The more time goes on the more I think this game is such a fucking waste. The whole ride is amazing but the ending is such a fucking nothingburger. You win, straight out, and there is no price to be paid. They tried to fake out everyone sacfricing themselves for you only to go 'lmao we got better'. Then you beat Not Lucifer and it looks like the ending will at least be you sacrificing your happiness to serve the kingdom, except nah you can just fuck off an adventure anyway. I was prepared to name this one of my fav games of all time but the ending has zero fucking impact. I wanted there to be a real sacrifice to work towards a better future.

What the fuck were they thinking? Did they really want to sequelbait or do spinoffs? Did they lose their nerve? I've been in a Persona 3 mood lately and it's obvious Atlus will never have the balls for an ending like that again when there's dancing games to be sold.

how to monetize their cute fantasy series. the creators are conservatives living in east asia, their message of progressiveness and freedom are completely hollow because they know they don't believe in that. just look at the cute fantasy stuff and the happily ever after bro don't think about it too hard

I could talk for an hour about how metaphor's ending is way more impactful because of how it ends a throughline that goes through the entire story and doesn't have a paper thin scenario like P3's but you just won't reply anyway so why would I bother

"You were dealt a winning hand at the game of life... by sheer chance, you have everything i never will"
we then proceed to kill him, kill louis, and in the end, assume the throne because we were the prince all along...
i can't take this game seriously man.

>>575546331
Is there supposed to be a point in here somewhere
Announcing Will is the prince had super diminishing returns and not a single person that comes back to supporting him at the end did it because of his royal birth, nor did that stop him from hemorrhaging supporters when Louis first cast the magic on him
No one was any less racist towards him before or after the events of the game either
You don't even get magic powers because you're the prince either, you get them because your parents saw fantasy as something they could pass down and try to make their child's life better than theirs was and the mom cast a spell on a book

>hard difficulty is harder than Regicide if you have the self control to never click the retry option in battle
Should I just go full magic for protagonist on my switch 2 run? I feel like for over half of the game the only decent magic character you have is the protagonist, you don’t even get to use Junah until you reach etrian odyssey
>>
>>575529770
I liked the 4th wall break at the end where the magic scroll with the picture of the seeker archetype is literally the game credits. That was so cool.
>>
>>575568723
If you mean in the sense that you can only do regicide normally on NG+ without a hacked save or mod, then yes
Otherwise Regicide is strictly harder
I did full mage for the mc on my first run it was good
>>
>>575569887
No I just think regicide is easier in general since all it does is increase damage for both the player and enemy on weakness hit.
I can see less experience gain being something that makes the game harder, but raising the mag cost of skill inheritance and archetype unlocks just feels like arbitrary difficulty because you can grind it anyway which will offset the exp reduction as well. I feel like regicide should have made the level modifier on damage higher for the enemy and lower for the player, or just increase boss hp way way way more. Atlus games usually have the problem that the amount of damage you can stack far outweighs the damage reductions and when you fight a anything overleveled even if the level multiplier is something small like x1.3 it feels like you just explode the enemy like a piñata. Merciless difficulty in p3r has that same problem, it is actually a fine difficulty until you discover auto buff and now suddenly every battle starts with a x1.4 multiplier on damage and theurgy ready to let loose
>>
>>575571621
This is how merciless in P5 works, not how regicide works

M8 poor people aren't going to become the leader of an entire nation, this is simply impossible in any social structure
They can become leaders in their community like Maria is already becoming and the institution of voting is what gives them a voice outside that community
This is why in real life right now ethnic majorities all over the world regardless of social standing are pushing back so hard against importing shitskins to take this away from them, racism against Indians in the UK and anti-muslim sentiment both there and in the USA are this principle put in practice

>M8 poor people aren't going to become the leader of an entire nation, this is simply impossible in any social structure
i agree, but i'm still not convinced how the rest has anything to do with inspiring louis
i didn't get the impression he was a race supremacist or anything. unless i'm missing the point
funny enough i think he would view the indian invasion as a "survival of the fittest" type of scenario. that nigga does not respect incompetence
>>
>>575581551
Is it really 'survival of the fittest' more than 'survival of whoever is the most numerous'?
>>
>>575581394
You can eat several fruits with a spoon, like grapefruits, watermelons, kiwis, melons
There is nothing atrocious about it.
>>
>>575582118
if a government can't see the short to long-term risk of importing low-testosterone, third-world shit-hole inhabitants and shit eaters into a high trust society, they're not fit to rule.
in this scenario, indians are the fittest, yes.
louis would find it amusing

humans might as well be foreign invaders and he saw no issue with them taking over Euchronia at worst if the people are too weak to not turn or destroy them
>>
>>575581551
I was attacking you getting blackpilled by zorba not explaining the influence of the book
Louis is inspired by the idealisms of the book and thinks they're worthless as a fantasy. This is why he wants to systematically genocide people that fall under specific criteria, because he wants to create the conditions for all of the book idealisms to be possible which they can't be without radically altering the social makeup
>>
>>575581394
Eating tropical fruits with a spoon is very common especially the ones that are very soft on the inside
>>
>>575590723
Nah humans are just the genetic dead end of the kind of people Louis wanted to get rid of
This is why the human experiments weren't something he felt any remorse over at all even when it was his own crew he was experimenting on, if you can't make it past the filter you aren't fit to be one of his followers
>>
>>575595438
well the humans are still necessary to weed out the week I'd say. Of course he doesn't give a shit about them and who ends up as one but having them run around riles up people and lets the strong survive. After a while they can then eradicate them one by one. He did talk about the first sorting out with the magla at the end, for sure he knew there would be more.

I didn't expect the MC to have to balls to stab him.
I expected him to hesitate until Luis transformed into a giant monster and vanished in a burst of light after being defeated.

He doesn't need the humans to do anything except get killed. It's the magic that already filters out everyone that doesn't meet his conditions for the first round of natural selection.
>>
>>575608354
yeah but the humans in itself inflict the terror so people even get overwhelmed and either make it or not and again he talks about the first culling with the magic. Rella's vision does kinda explain he expects the humans to reign terror after and then people either step up or perish. The magic was just to kickstart all of this in my interpretation
