I think the most fun part of FES (and Nocturne come to think of it) was making new personas and trying to fill up the compendium. Odin with Die for me? Yes please! Helel with Victory Cry? Fun until you realize that it renders all challenge moot, but still fun to try to get.

I don't see why it's weird that I don't want to use a character who talks and sounds almost exactly like another character that I don't like. If you don't like Jar Jar Binks, what are the odds that you would like another comic relief character also voiced by Ahmed Best who sounds like and has a similar personality to Jar Jar Binks? Troy Baker sounds fine to me as Vincent, Joel, and what I've heard of Ocelot. It's really just that Kanji and Snow are similar characters, he voiced them similarly, and I happen to find the one of them I heard first incredibly annoying. Doing a solo run of a game that is half dating sim is pretty funny though.

Butt Ghost posted:It's pretty neat. At a certain point, you unlock a door in Tartarus that leads to a series of doors that you can open in any order, if I remember correctly. You can fight harder versions every full moon boss. Plus, there are puzzle battles against a set of strong enemies where you are given a set of personas. Once you complete every challenge, you get to fight Margaret. There's also a secret battle Theodore on the female route. I don't know who those people are, sorry.

Man if FFXIII Troy Baker didn't work for you then don't ever play Tales of Vesperia in English. You can tell the VA director didn't care there.

Margaret's a little easier, but only because you have the option to bring in a party. I'm not sure if that fight's harder going solo. Theodore's the same as Elizabeth. The full moon battles are harder than their original fights, but definitely not harder than the secret bosses. The puzzles fights can be pretty hard, but they're a different type of hard, since you need to figure out what exactly to do. I'm not sure if they're possible to beat solo, but feel free to give it a shot.

I'm not even sure how you can even really try to solo Persona 3 because the game outright will not let you continue at times if you go alone. You just get yelled at and told to take a full party; you could just then sit there and wait until your party members all get killed off, sure, but what's the point? You're just sat there doing nothing for ages and hoping your MC doesn't wipe first. The puzzle rooms are no exception, but you don't even get to choose party composition. You're just given a bunch of people dependant on the room.

So I'm playing Persona 3 Portable and having a blast, so much of a blast I think I am hooked on the series, but there are a few things that have got me wondering about the game and I figure I might as well ask here. Forgive me if the OP said not to ask questions here, I've looked around in-game and in the thread. Should this be a rule I have broken I will draw whatever Persona a moderator asks as punishment and in shame. So far it seems like this game takes place over the course of a year so I should plan things around the fact that at the end of the year the game is going to end due to whatever plot, right? I have not touched Orpheus out of fear but aside from that is it possible to really gently caress things up by experimenting with fusions? If I love this game will I love Persona 4: Golden because if so a purchase is about to be made

Yes. Specifically, the game ends on January 31st. Rapdawg posted:I have not touched Orpheus out of fear but aside from that is it possible to really gently caress things up by experimenting with fusions? You can't gently caress things up with fusions because you'll very quickly get access to the Persona Compendium, which holds every Persona you've ever made, which you can resummon for a fee. You should always fuse all the time without worrying too much about it. Just make sure you register your on-hand Personas in the compendium before you do so.

You might wanna go ahead and finish P3 first, though, if only to not spoil yourself with the new features. I'm doing P3P now, and I think I'll end up preferring 4.

No, unless you intentionally try to gimp yourself with lovely Personas. You'll probably really like Golden if P3P is something you enjoy.

Once you create a persona, either from shuffle time or fusion, it is permanently registered in the compendium. So you can always bring it back if necessary. The only dilemma is deciding if you want to overwrite an existing persona in the compendium with a better version (say, you leveled it up or it learned some new skills). If you don't have access to the compendium yet, don't worry you will soon enough and everything you've done in the mean time will still have been registered. In practice it is not a good idea to hang onto personas for too long, because you begin to get diminishing returns with level ups. It's better to fuse a new persona that starts at a higher level. Not to mention that you'll gain experience bonuses during fusion after leveling up Social Links. E: Even setting aside whether you wind up liking the P3 or P4 story/cast more, P4G is such a better game than P3P that if you're cool with what you've seen so far it's all but guaranteed you will also like P4G.

You don't quite get a year- the final day you have to yourself is the 31st of January. But yes, keep the time limit in mind. quote:I have not touched Orpheus out of fear but aside from that is it possible to really gently caress things up by experimenting with fusions? No. Also, get rid of Orpheus ASAP. He's terrible and there's no reason to keep him around since you can just buy him back from the Compendium at any time for a relative pittance for if you need him for some reason. quote:If I love this game will I love Persona 4: Golden because if so a purchase is about to be made Yes.

So I'm sure this question has been asked in the past, but I'm having a conflict of choice in regards to the PSN availability of Persona : Eternal Punishment. I'm curious for those who have played the Japanese version: is it that much improved from the PSOne classic, or is it a negligible difference? I can speak Japanese and I live in Japan, so finding a copy isn't hard. The major issue is that my reading isn't fantastic. On the other hand, having all of the games in English on my Vita would be super convenient. Is it worth it to just play Eternal Punishment on the Classic version, or am I really missing out? On a side note, I'm also not a huge fan of the first Persona. I might even go so far as to say it's a not-very-good game. I'm super interested in the P2 Duology, though, so I'm wondering if it would be a good way to spend some Christmas cash.

Is there something special about the the SMTIII:Nocturne pixie? I've been avoiding any walkthroughs and guides, but I did read somewhere that if you keep leveling her up, she becomes this godly character of sorts, but I've already let her transform into High Pixie right now, so I don't know if I've done anything wrong or not. If I've messed it up, then I might as well fuse her with something else, but can I still keep her and level her up? She's a pretty decent support character, so I'm okay with her so far, but if that's going to cost me later in the game, then I might as well let her go sooner than later.

It's only relevant if you're doing the optional dungeon, but as long as you keep her around in some form (high pixie counts, or anything you fuse that high pixie into) you're good.

Fusing her is okay. Pixie and all descendants of her through Fusion (resummoning from compendium doesn't count) will always be the first demon on your list. Just don't dismiss that demon and you're golden.

I'm guessing the optional dungeon is the park in Shibuya, though that's just me guessing because I'm only at the Matador right now and it's just a wild guess. How many dungeons are there in this game roughly in total? I got a feeling that I'm not even 1/50 through this game yet.

You're not at the optional dungeon just yet. It's really, really obvious when you reach it--it feels totally tacked on rather than a natural part of the rest of the game. Which it kind of is, since it wasn't in the original release of the game. Not that it being tacked on is a bad thing though, since it's a great dungeon and general expansion to the game at large.

Played the new patch (May as well call it daily build at this point) of P4U: Ultra Suplex today. Labrys is buffed back to playability and a new character (Shadow Sho, full with Persona) was added. Yu and Chie are still OP God Tier, Aigis has a few changes that make her more wacky but functional, and Akihiko is unplayable garbage for some reason. I expect the next round to have some buffs for him. The new character is still pretty unfinished... It seems some of their animations are incomplete/messed up right now so that could change. All of these dailies have me wondering just exactly how different the full game will be. Atlus/Arcsys is clearly taking player feedback, recording play and win statistics. They also added a training mode to single play (Fuuka is the narrator/coach) to help facilitate newbies/teach old players how to play the new game better. Overall the feel is very different, though most changes are at least somewhat interesting -- some characters have whole new move sets and play styles, more so than most fighting game sequels. With the popularity of the P3 movie here in Japan I'm sure more P3 characters will be added at some point, maybe even before console launch. Hopefully it performs well enough that we can get the full-franchise fighting game some of us have been wishing for in the future. laplace fucked around with this message at 08:39 on Dec 26, 2013 |
