But seriously, imagine s-linking Rohan with a game of dice, only to have the link permanently reverse, or playing as Jotaro during the first fight with Kira and having this play. Really though, I just want to be friends with the Duwang Gang.

 The third major arc of Jojo and everything after it are like an even crazier version of Persona before Persona was even a thing. You should check it out.

Also Jojo Part 4 is about a group of highschoolers who try to catch a serial killer in between their day-to-day lives. (And I think the protag of Part 7 summons his Stand by blowing his brains out, but I'm still on Part 6)

Jojo inspired a lot of stuff, just look at Street Fighter for example. Guile has Stroheim's hair, Juri has a similar design to Jolyne, and Rose is straight up Lisa Lisa without the kicking rad shades.

I always heard about Jojo's Bizzare Adventure (fighting game, memes) but never read the manga. Since the anime was getting praise I started watching it and - 1) It's so, so good. Like it's very clearly based on a thing from the 80s but proud of it and cheesy as hell in the best possible way 2) The entire concept of Personas is literally Stands. As iconic as those are they don't actually pop up for all of season 1 (Parts 1 and 2 in the Manga) but even the way they fight in the Persona fighting game was based off the 90s Jojo's fighting game. You summon an inner force that fights for you and represents yourself, and they are based on the different arcana of the Tarot. The background stuff of Persona is literally a Jojo's plotline

Since the anime was getting praise I started watching it and - Persona, at least at the start of the series, has a little more of a Jungian, Hero with a Thousand Faces vibe going for it. When it gets to P3 and onward, and the characters can't switch them around anymore, they feel a bit more stand-like. Other than that, they are indeed very similar.

I'm actually starting to realize like an entire decade of Japanese entertainment is basically influenced by Jojos, it's way bigger than I thought it was. Dunno why it took so long to get a decent anime adaptation in that case!

As I've seen people say, while not every Japanese person has read JoJos, basically every mangaka and game developer has.

Not without reason though, since the anime adaptations before the current one are all considered really bad. The movie made in 2007 was apparently so terrible that Araki stopped it from ever being made available.

The new anime embraces it completely. It knows that Jojo has been owning consistently for like thirty years and just goes for maximum Jojo instead of trying to be something that is, by definition, less completely awesome.

We went from Persona 4 to JoJo to Persona 4 porno. The progression makes sense when you think about it. So hey, I'll probably play Nocturne soon so tell me about Nocturne. I've beaten SMT I and II so I've gotten my sea legs with the MegaTen series, but what are some other good tips. Expect My Mom fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Aug 31, 2014 |

Moltrey posted:So hey, I'll probably play Nocturne soon so tell me about Nocturne. Also, whenever you reach a boss you can't beat, that's usually your cue to fuse a new team with different resistances. Decide early if you want to build physical or magic with your MC. Physical is better for late-game, since Magic gets less effective as the game goes on, but Magic makes that early game hump easier to get over.

Poison Mushroom posted:What they call Force (Zan) is actually Wind (Garu). This is important, because if you play through the game thinking that Zan is untyped damage, like what Force usually means, there is a midgame boss who will flatten you. Zan isn't untyped. There have been enemies weak and resistant to Force since at least SMTI. Garu existing at all is a recentish development (it first showed up in Persona 1).

Force has never been untyped in SMT, but if you're coming from Baldur's Gate or something, I guess you might assume that it's nonelemental damage, like Magic Missile in DnD. Though I'm pretty sure you'd learn better the moment you saw the first demon status screen that said it was resistant...

They actually did make it Almighty in Persona 1 and 2. So it'd probably still be a bit confusing if the first one you played was one of those.

Nah, P1 doesn't have Almighty at all. Zan is Force and Megido is Nuclear. Edit: Wait, Zan is "Blast" while "Force" is used for the Elec/Nuclear/Gravity/Blast set of spells.

What probably doesn't help for Persona 1 and 2 is that they also made Almighty just another regular ol' element, so dudes were weak to it, resistant, immune etc. just like everything else.
