Lunchmeat Larry posted:I gave him dark resistance to cover his only weakness too, fused it on from Power. And gave him some Dracostrikes lol With the Donum skills that let you charge/concentrate someone else you can get your powerhouse to use 2 charged moves on the same turn. I'd say it's pretty worth it

I recently cashed in a ton of grimoires to bring her up to my level but even when she was like 8 levels behind everyone else she was a mainstay and just melted bosses. I think she’s gotten the deathblow on half the bosses I’ve faced so far

Okay I finally found a Magatsuhi skill that is better than the Crit one you start with. Comes from Tyrant Talisman which isn't available until the last quarter of the game and also means you need a Tyrant on your team. But it doubles the MP cost of all your skills while doubling their damage, and it seems to stack with Charge/Concentrate.

Lmao the very first part of smt iv is the most brutal in all of them that I've played. Oh you failed negotiation? Die. They can also ask you to kill your own demons which makes them leaving even funnier

It’s so bizarre, the very very beginning is the hardest part by far and then once you make it out of Naraku the game suddenly becomes much easier and never really gets back up to that level of difficulty.

All I know is theres a minotaur early on that supposedly demolishes people and after that it's all easy. When I saw you could save anywhere I didnt expect any challenge but I'm not sure how the early game would be possible without it.

Yeah the save anywhere and more generous death stuff allows SMT4 to be more threatening on a fight to fight basis

Yeah I think that’s the trade-off, you can save anywhere but to balance it you’re much more likely to just suddenly get one- or two-shotted out of nowhere even by random encounters. 5 seems like a middle ground, you can’t save anywhere but the save points are very frequent, so random encounters are more dangerous than 3 but not as much as 4–I’m enjoying 5’s difficulty the most out of what I played

I don't know if the game factors level at all into its damage calculations or if its just that having all those stats from more levels makes that much of a difference, but either way anything 5+ levels above me usually makes for a very nasty fight

I suspected that, it definitely felt like it was impacting a lot more than past games did. Not a fan tbh, I liked that level wasn't hugely important compared to press turn coverage, buffs and fusions. Those are still more important but I have a bugbear about RPGs that put too much "invisible" weighting based on levels, find it kind of boring (Divinity OS being a huge and obvious offender) and it sucks a bit that SMT is doing it now mbt posted:The npc I cant control used a fire spell on minotaur and gave him smirk, then he crit chained me to death.

I was not expecting 3rd area boss to be that much of a pushover even though I powered down all the towers. she couldn't do poo poo!!! Annihilated her clean first try, getting hype for a area with a roof and floors, I hope this is like a 20 hour dungeon zone.

I'm someone who gets disoriented easily and I had basically no trouble at all with the dungeon. There's a little breadcrumb of magatsuhi/hp/mp orbs showing you what path to take, very baffling it was apparently a big enough issue to make easier.

I got lost in that dungeon for a while but I'm also an idiot with the worst sense of direction that God has ever given anyone so I don't think it's that bad. Certainly not as confusing as some of the dungeons in 3 or the enormous teleporter maze mansion in 4/4A. I do really like the new semi-open world format instead of dungeons though, I was skeptical when it first started showing up in prerelease reviews but I've come to really love it and hope that any future installments keep it.
