Ancient of Days would be fine if it didn't have the gimmick of healing full health after every time you exploit its weakness. So that means you have to run a team that in no way takes advantage of wind, on top of this you can't debuff or buff yourself any more than two times or else he breaks it. FInally, he has some bullshit Almighty attack that I don't remember well that he would just never stop using and it would kill my team or my most crucial of teammates, Uriel. If you use Uriel and take advantage of bran, the fight becomes worlds easier, but unfortunately it can drop at any time, so if it drops right after you hit him with garudyne, he gets back all of his health.

Sanat is a piece of poo poo because he's a physical based boss who just shits all over your team. Gaea's Rage is the main thing to watch out for, as it could wipe out your whole team in no time and if any of your team had the unfortunate luck to survive, they could be lost so you are down a team member that you can't recover. On top of this he has Dark Energy which triples the attack of his next gun attack and then he will use myriad arrows and poop on your team again. A good strategy is to have at least one physical repel demon, but that only helps so much before the Gaea's Rage happens. His only weakness is Gun/Pierce attacks (Ironically enough) and thankfully unlike Ancient of Days, he doesn't have some dumb gimmick if you exploit it. He's also got Silent Prayer like Ancient of Days though, so you have to watch your buffs and debuffs.

Finally, there is Masakado who is the king of poo poo mountain. Okay so, Masakado is unlike Ancient of Days and Sanat in that... you cannot damage him with anything that isn't physical attacks. He drains all elemental attacks, so you are left with a building a team of entirely physical monsters. You need piercing skills to even hurt him with physical attacks and the Angels and Sanat whom you all get from previous DLC are basically going to be some of your best bets, especially since Sanat and Uriel have specific physical skills which make doing tons of damage to him much easier. So you need to pile on 18000 HP of damage on him in under 10 turns without your party dying. That 10 turns was not a typo, it is a battle with a time limit. He gets six press turns per turn (He'll waste a few moving) and can get 3 more with Guardian's Eye if he so drat well pleases. Has a special almighty attack which exploits any enemy weakness unless you have smirked your characters to avoid it. It always hits for a weakness, even if said weakness doesn't actually exist, you are getting poo poo on.

I'm willing to forgive Masakado just because he has a good theme for a boss fight.

The rest from what I've seen require pre-Nocturne SMT level of grinding and party setups to not die, but that's been the whole series since the beginning and that's why I love these stupid games.

This stream takes place before the Persona concert so they're probably not going to show anything new when the people inside the concert hall paid $70 to be there.

In 2013 they had public spots around Japan where you could watch the game announcements and then didn't show the P5 teaser at said spots.

So I'm playing P4G and the boss at the end of Heaven is kicking my rear end. When his spells get powered up even my characters that get hit neutrally by that element are being one hitted. Then he controls my party members and the damage output is usually too much for MC to keep up with. MC is around level 53. Should I grind or is there a strategy I'm missing?

Magic Mirrors and Makaracorn. Drop them on everybody when he uses Quad Converge, watch him completely own himself.

Hahahaha holy poo poo. I didn't think to do that cause he just dispells nakarakarn earlier in the fight.

Also you should have all four elements so you can take full advantage of the power-up, but that's something you'd already be doing anyway so

That level is a bit on the low side, actually that's the level I usually clear the previous dungeon at. Level 60ish is what I'd recommend,

It's going to be 29 hours and 56 minutes of persona 4 footage with the last 4 being the exact same P5 trailer everybody already seen.

We are going to be getting tons of new gameplay details of Persona 5 to start things off. We'll be introduced to the characters, the settings, the themes, and the Shadows, and will get a nice meaty gameplay trailer. Then we'll also have SMT x FE, during which they'll finally tell us what the gently caress, as well as gameplay details. Some more Persona 3 movie stuff, then some more info on Dancing All Night, and to finish things off, Persona All In One Collection for the PS4: Persona 2 IS and EP, 3, and 4, with reworked gameplay and new scenes, though 4 will just be Golden. No one cares about Persona 1.

That is a dream announcement. I'd actually be pretty happy with a PS4 re-release of 2/3/4.

A few months ago Square-Enix had like a 9 hour stream about SaGa and most of it was an LP done by the series producer, so maybe something like that?
