>tome of words nerfed
Did it get nerfed? I just attempted a blind GodMutt + Comatus run and it seemed still pretty good. What got nerfed?
Frog Curse is great at stalling out turns, Bone Curse feels like it works but also feels a bit whatever and the seizures curse is good for big hoards.

I do agree that nerfing Morton feels kinda like kicking a guy while he's down. Morton is objectively still the worst party member due to how late game you get him and how much time you need to spend on crosswords just to get him into fighting form, only for a strong 200+ damage attack to kill him anyway.

>>3996648
Tome of Words is going to have a higher STM cost as well as continuously drain your health rather than just hurt you upon opening it. Bone Curse in specific is getting changed but I forgot how

It's extremely unlikely, cause if you do not know what a shadow enemy does, you will analyze/do attacks to uncover weakness and you will start battles with a durable persona.
>>3997763
It's not arbitrary, it's assembling a complete toolbox so you can resist multiple attacks and cover enemy weaknesses.

Persona gameplay mechanics are nowhere near perfect. But you do not even bother to engage with basic mechanics. This goes beyond 'arbitrary bullshit' and up to 'I do not want to be boethered from cutscene to cutscene'.
To keep the pokemn example going, you get pouty cause you do not steamroll an rock gym with a squad of just flying pokemon easily and having a team that covers this gym and future ones is 'arbitrary bullshit'.

>To keep the pokemn example going, you get pouty cause you do not steamroll an rock gym with a squad of just flying pokemon easily and having a team that covers this gym and future ones is 'arbitrary bullshit'.

Literally the dumbest comparison I've ever seen. Comparing type advantage, which is essentially the core gameplay mechanic, to insta kill. Which doesn't show up for like 30 hours into the game, and either works or doesn't. You're low IQ dude. You can't think straight. This isn't about Persona, you're actually a dumb person.

Your response above that was also retarded. "Muh analyze" Shut the fuck up lol. I know what it did because it insta killed me. I googled a way to stop it, and it mentioned capturing some persona that I didn't have. I thought it was gay and I stopped playing. I already said this is an opinionated stance, but you can't handle it, because you're autistic and low IQ.

>>3998666
Satan once again acting like a retard. That was because of a bunch of internal issues that would lead to them having to be bought out. That won't be an issue this time. Still, I wouldn't expect the game until 2018 at the earliest.

Merlose was initially supposed to be a supporting party member that fought alongside you similar to the one battle against grissom when you fight with sydney. Due to budget and time restraints with the ps2 coming out in something like 2 months they scrapped everything and turned her into purely a cutscene occurence.

>>3995656
Vagrant story is insanely unfinished, Melrose was supposed to be the deuteragonist of the game but she's written out of the story in the opening cutscene

A lot of things were cut because the game wasn't even 80% done in december and the ps2 was coming out in march. It's genuinely a miracle the game even shipped at all.

I absolutely loved divine divinity and divinity 2 dragon knight saga though. Divinity 2 especially deserved to get more love in 7th Gen it got overlooked bigly

Wild crabs are on their own faction and attack you, I find the raider parties join you really often.
I actually have issues as a result because they end up hanging around in my base and messing my defense plans or getting kidnapped by skin bandits.

>>3996684
The problem is that it rewards you too much for engaging with a single mechanic. There is less depth of strategy because "build a team of demons that exploit the boss' weakness" is the only important metric. Whereas in a better balanced game this would be just one thing to consider, and even a character who can't exploit the weakness might have another utility that makes up for it.

>>3996877
I think you’re being reductionist trying to squash teambuilding down to just matching elements. There’s a lot more depth to it than that especially in VV, and matching elements stops being a factor anyways when you get access to things like crit and pierce. Bosses also do a lot more you have to account for besides just hit you with fire instead of ice.

>>3996947
the one who is being reductive is the original anon he replied to, he was just referring to the strawman ">system rewards you for paying attention and building an appropriate team"
SMT VV did a decent job by making demons not just a big ball of stats and elemental weakness/resistances, but the previous SMT games they were all that, which is the thing online SMT/Persona fans were championing as the best TB system in JRPGs

I prefer the persona 3/4 one more/all out attack system. 5 batons might as well be press turn anyways.
It's like better in every way outside of the all out animation but even that could be shorten to just a quick 1 sec thing
I also think 1 stage timed buffs work better than 4 stages unlimited buffs.
It's a bigger reward instantly and prevents every boss from dekeja spamming or smt4 boss deletes you if you buff design

>>3996509
Honestly I think when smt finally broke through the super niche barrier in the west the redeeming quality everyone saw was the fact that it was less forgiving than the likes of Pokemon and FF7 which is what they were used to in a jrpg. They cited the battle systems perhaps as an excuse to express this merit but it was secondary to the idea of difficulty. These days mass gaming culture is already well entrenched in hard = good but it was not that way 15-20 years ago (caveat: hard almost entirely means soulslike in this context)

It might have not been disappointing if it was made with the original vision. At least then it would coast on its edginess like F&H.

I doubt she's the kind of person who would constrict you explicitly against your consent like that, you could probably ask her to let go just fine, but fair enough.
Not everyone's into being squeezed all over like that, I suppose.

>>3999299
>when other people try and intentionally "calm me down", since it inherently implies they're thinking straight and I'm not
To me, being in a situation where you're not thinking clearly from time to time is just part and parcel of being human in a stressful world, so having a partner who helps ground you when things get to be too much, and visa versa sounds nicer than raw dogging reality until your brain clicks back into gear again.

But beyond that, im not personally into the constricting so much so, but If I was with a snake monster, shed likely have a need or urge to do it sometimes, and I'd oblige even if It made me panic, so her showing that kind of care and concern for me even as she indulges in her desire to wrap tightly around something, makes it fall into place much better.

>>3999181

I get that, I've just been in a lot of situations where I've been told to "calm down" even when I'm thinking completely clearly, so being treated like I'm not in my right mind starts to make me feel worse past a certain point.
Like I said, in this situation it's fine, because it's more contained to just the constricting, and it feels less authoritative here.
Being given her tail to hold in my hand or having her speak reassuringly while nuzzling my head feels like a good way to handle the potential stress of being constricted, like you (or whoever made that reply if it was not you) said.
Like that one fic where Ceroba rubs her thumb across the back of the reader's hand while simultaneously (gently) biting into your neck, the mix of an alien sensation combined with the soothing reassurance of your partner is a nice concept.
>I'd oblige even if It made me panic, so her showing that kind of care and concern for me even as she indulges in her desire to wrap tightly around something, makes it fall into place much better.
Yeah, I think I get what you mean.
I'm not super into constriction myself necessarily, beyond just liking a bit of pressure like that sometimes, but the intimacy makes it nicer.

>>3999307
>I get that, I've just been in a lot of situations where I've been told to "calm down" even when I'm thinking completely clearly, so being treated like I'm not in my right mind starts to make me feel worse past a certain point
That's fair, I think trusting the person is a big deal for it. I know people that if they did it, it would be insulting to me, but if very specific people pulled me aside to tell me I needed to calm down, then Id take a second look at what was going on. I tend to assume with scrimlonomics that I have or am building trust with the character in question, since trust is very important in a happy relationship.
>Like that one fic where Ceroba rubs her thumb across the back of the reader's hand while simultaneously (gently) biting into your neck, the mix of an alien sensation combined with the soothing reassurance of your partner is a nice concept.
Yeah I think we're more on the same page than not. Being worked through something unfamiliar like that has its upsides. And I tend to take that as not being 'authoritative' as you said but from a place of genuine "i care and Im here".
>I'm not super into constriction myself necessarily, beyond just liking a bit of pressure like that
Honestly just being held in place sends my fight or flight racing, and I like the idea of THE ROBA easing me through something like that.

I dont know, the appeal is in the love in the face of fear rather than the constriction itself, or something like that?

Trying to play TLR as guideless as possible, any time a party member says "Hey we're supposed to stay in town and do X for the plot": is that a reminder or is that warning about branching stuff?

>>3996714
Nah, it usually shows up at urgent plot beats that the game yells at you for walking off. Like Rush decides not to rescue his sister to grind gold dragons and stuff.

I remember reading abit that the way to learn new moves in gameboy saga games is different so what about its saga 2 nds remake? about to start that one never played the gameboy games before

Unlimited Saga soon

>>3997608
You don't really learn new moves in GB SaGa unless you're talking about Esper skills, and those are pure RNG, weapons themselves are basically pseudo-unique attacks and that counts martial arts which are actually weapons that you have to equip in classic SaGa, Punch, Kick etc. are all technically separate weapons you have to equip rather than techniques you learn innately like in the later games.
The DS remake is mechanically almost identical to the original outside of the introduction of the threads of fate system which is really just a branch of the classic combo system from later game, in which case every weapon has an innate special tech that activates as part of the combo string.

>I know is hard for you Indians to understand the west but out governments are based on these "constitution" thingies that provide their basic instructions
This is what happens to you poor zoomers when civics education was removed from your curriculum before you were born in favor of gay race communism. Allow me to educate you:
The phrase "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" does not come from the Constitution, it comes from the Declaration of Independence. It is from a clause recognizing that the attempt to attain those things are inalienable rights granted to you by God. They are natural rights. The government cannot give those to you. They are not privileges to be granted to you by the government, because privileges extended by the state can be revoked by the state.
The entire framing in the Constitution, of things like the Bill of Rights, is that it is enumerating natural rights that you already possess, and that it is forcing the government to recognize that you already possess those rights, and that the government shall not violate them. That does not mean that those rights come from the government.
You fucking retard.

>>3997775
>the US is the only costitution in the world
Based retard. I'm not surprised the land of the goyim constitution doesn't actually give you rights, other than regulate your militia, which you ignore.
