how much of the combat dialogue you understand without subs just from watching anime is the purest test of your character imo

None fully but I did understand the gist of a couple of them. :ohdear:

Should I do the DLC missions right a way or wait?

They are purely grinding stuff. I checked out the exp one just to see what it was like and I'll do the weapon mastery one once when I actually have 3 unmastered weapons at once. And the third one is probably harder since it's just based around savage enemies. But they're not really that interesting.

E: I know there's another DLC mission somewhere but I don't think it's unlocked yet.

How long is this game anyway? I just beat the Peg Knight thing and taught Tsubasa her song and it feels like the pace of this game is moving so fast that... I'm not actually sure what's left after this.

I figured the game would be about saving Tsubasa's Sister and figuring that mystery out but like a hour or so in I'm already going after her.

This is literally the first major dungeon and second one overall... I have a feeling the plot's going to expand.

According to HLTB it's 53 hours main story plus extras, but that's according to one guy so far, so it'll take a while for a more solid answer.

I've heard a few murmurings of roughly 75 hours if you do all the side quests, but I dunno how accurate that is.

I haven't finished the game yet, but this seems about right to me. It also gets pretty drat difficult, even on Normal. There was a mid-boss in a later chapter I had to fight about 10 times before I managed to form a winning strategy, and I still occasionally get wiped out by a random enemy when I have bad luck.

I tried the weapon mastery dungeon. First enemy I fought, not too bad. found two secret books, also. next enemy I encountered were three guys that all did roughly 1100% of each party members health in damage. i will stay away from doing that extra dungeon for a while.

You need to be a badass first.
About four and a half hours into it and I just beat the miniboss of the first major dungeon. This game is an absolute blast!

I can relate to Tsubasa wanting to get the people around her into the things she likes. I hope she goes far in her idol career.

I'm glad they're doing the Persona 4 thing of like. 'This one mystery is obvious, so the characters are going to actually recognize it and not be willfully ignorant.

Also, I'm enjoying this more than I'd thought. Especially when I realized you could change Tsubasa's outfit out of her weird Swan Lake boob outfit and just put everyone in workout clothes. Getting ripped fighting ShadoMirages.

also, Nickelwise. Super minor, second-dungeon enemy spoiler. So dumb. So good!

Speaking outfits, is there a list of what you can get in the game. Hard to search for it, as results tend to be about the censorship crap.

Fortunately if you don't like a character's transformed outfit you can right away just make them fight in their normal clothes, even without the DLC. Kiria I'll probably turn into the EO3 Princess.

Okay seriously? I beat the first chapter boss and the change NoA made is actually confusing.

Aversa when you first see her looks normal, or as normal as weird purple monster centaur things can get. Then the anime cutscene happens and censorship smoke suddenly appears over her chest and looks really goofy. Suddenly your fighting her and the smoke is gone. What actually was the point?

Having fun regardless though. What's Touma's Stickers supposed to be anyway? Maiko has the drunk rabbit thing and Tiki has herself but I can't figure out what I'm looking at with his.

That's one way to get ahead in life, but nothing beats an axe to the face.
Finished chapter 2. Great game but some of the minor side missions are just npc hunting with no marker. If the rewards are like Persona 4's bland request missions I'm just going to skip them.

My biggest gripe is forced gamepad usage. There's plenty of unused buttons that can bring up a map or twitter messages. If you're not going to have off TV play then I should be able to play the game with the gamepad off.
