>Let’s start with a release time. As rumored, Persona 6 is targeting a 2025 release date— more specifically, Summer 2025. July if I had to give a guess, if not then August

>Post launch DLC is on lock. Lots of customization stuff for party members and both protagonists. Smaller expansions, and I believe a more size able expansion separate from the main, base game

>As already heavily reported, the main color is green and the theme is black and white. Duality is a major thing in P6, and the protagonists (Kuro and Shiro) represent this among other things.

>On the topic of two protagonists, I don’t believe it is a matter of picking one. One protagonist (male) takes priority over the other. Both have plenty of playtime, but don’t expect choice or an equal amount of playable screentime

>The game takes place in an art school. This is where the black/white and duality thing also comes in. lots of modern art and traditional art clashing— one of the center conflicts will be modernity vs tradition

>Remember art is subjective! another smaller focus will be on the different mediums there. music, painting, writing, etc. expect this to influence the main cast, too

I guess the game has already started for you because you're checking your calendar, talking to random people, repeating the same pointless tasks each day, and occasionally playing a decent JRPG.

>Generic monster models are used for plot significant npcs
This is always how DQ has done it. Hell I struggle to think of a Mon game where the monsters are plot-significant that aren't just the default version of that monster. PMD, SMT, and Digimon games all do this.
>tone problem
That's also just a Dragon Quest thing. Probably most exemplified when a protagonist gets turned into a fish, floating around the air, and witnessing a girl enter a church full of dead people. The phrase
>There's no response. It's just a corpse.
Is basically a running joke throughout the franchise. That's just what DQ is.

>Game has a tone problem, can have a cutesy scene where Rose gushes about sweets, and then 20 minutes later a giraffe man says he's going to strangle you to death
That's not a tone problem, it's a girl acting like a girl and an evil monster acting evil. They are both different because they have different roles in the game.
Now if the game had a graphic scene of Giraffe strangling Psaro to death, that would be a tone problem.

Finished Yarimono last night. I did not expect a hentai game to have the most hype tournmant finals of any mon game I've played.10/10 easily worth the $22.50 I paid for it. But the sex scenes were the worst part of the game and I just mashed through them after a while. The art was good but the scenarios were cringe. Almost all of them are like "You won the battle and I now consent to you raping me. Bwuuooohhhgghdhh I'm a LoVeSlAvE to your BiG cOcK!!!" *ahegao* *squelching queefing noises*

The character writing and story really carry it. Gameplay is fine and smooth, plays like a modern mon game should. Team building is very limited since you can only carry 3 Yarimon and one is locked to your starter that has story significance, so you only get to choose 2 to have on your team. Finished story and post-game stuff including the battle tower equivalent in 15 hours. Did not bother to unlock all the sex scenes since there's no achievement for it. Overall I would recommend, but you'll get much more out of it if you actually get off to ugly bastard corruption hentai. Oh yeah the MC is an ugly bastard shota but he actually turned out to be a pretty likeable protagonist so it didn't end up mattering to me much. Like I said the character writing really carried this game which I found very surprising.

>>3608501
I've just started this and am only an hour or so in, and so far I'm not particularly grabbed. The 3v3 battles and focus on party composition is great. I maybe expected more from the 'metroidvania' gimmick. I don't even really want exceptional platforming, but all of the areas seem empty and boring. I think I can endure that if the platforming stays mindless, but if it turns into bullshit I'll probably drop it.

Should bosses be immune to status effects? Currently playing the SNES version of pic related, and when even Thor can be affected by Shock after a Zio spell, then you know your gameplay is shitty. In this case, the gameplay would still be shitty even without the omnipotent Shock, but anyway. What do you think is the correct approach to this issue?

>>3615755
This is actually an elegant solution. I like it.
>>
>>3615755
The problem with that is that the action cost of applying status affects should be commensurate with their power and you are tying two effects to the same ability Why bother applying a weak status effect to a boss when you can do something else?

Weak is just a moniker to contrast with strong.
Question of balance, applying a 50% hit reduction on group of regular mobs with big attack stats that can be dealt with in few turns vs. a multi round boss battle where a 20% hit reduction will very likely result in a few misses saving your party members healing or reviving, leaving them to be able to buff, debuff, and set up.

Or maybe a strong Mute spell stops all casting while the weak variant affects spell casting speed, or increases to turn delay, or maybe alters the boss' ai so they're much less likely to cast magic and you can even add flavour on that one by adding text saying something like "The lich broke through your curse of silence!".
It's not stopping you from taking those big deeps but it will give you breathing room and opportunities to react. Games, like movies, or books are an experience and those dramatic moments can add a lot to it, especially if you dress it up right with text, and/or animations depending on your budget.

pic unrelated, it just looks cool.
>>
>>3615959
20% hit reduction is strong as fuck but I get what you're saying, they are still powerful just not as. I think that this won't be commonly done, although I think I might've seen it in a game before, because it still doesn't resolve the heart of the issue: developer laziness/incompetene in designing challenging encounters because of all the moving parts in an RPG.
>>
>>3615965
Two factors I've noticed that have to do with this are, skill bloat and numerical bloat.
If you start doing double digits and end up doing millions at the end there's simply no way to balance that unless you do hard level scaling.
Add in that many turn based games give you dozens of skills that are either very similar leaving only damage scaling as the difference or make every character/class a master of everything giving you too many options regardless of situation.
In either case you have a game with very little wiggle room for creating a challenging encounter is difficult, limiting players while making new skills an event is more rewarding imo.

A decent example of the too many choices is the original FF12 release on PS2. If you don't do side content and just go from plot point to plot point with no incidental leveling with building characters as dedicated roles it's actually a really fun experience until you reach a point where they expect you to have 6 masters of everything characters around the Arcadia arc.
The zodiac release fixed some of that but they bloated HP and MP gains to the point where every character becomes an unbeatable tank. The problem of very limited MP without the unlockable multipliers made the original FF12 so much more enthralling, I felt like I was playing an old school RPG crawling those dungeons.

It's not necessarily even a "mistress" like he was cheating on his wife and Ramza and Alma were illegitimate, lots of places historically let noblemen have whatever kids they want with whatever women they want.

Inventory management ruins that game.
It lacks QOL features to keep boring stuff at the bare minimum, and sorting is so slow it feels like it is using bubble sort.
Also the game should provide a rest time for the video card, so it can cool down. There is no need to keep rendering all the 3D background shit when you are in full screen managing your loot and stuff.
