So level ups are actually random? Seems a bit strange to have in a JRPG like this but i suppose if you're going for max level none of it will matter in the end? I just got to the end of Chapter 1 and i find it funny that i was able to just say gently caress this dungeon noise i'm gonna go shopping/back to base to heal and upgrade poo poo. Like one second you're in a hellish landscape then in another you can be in a department store with cheery fun music. Does this game have the social link aspect from Persona? It seems like it does when it asks you to pick choices but i don't think it actually makes a difference most of the time

Nope, there are character sidequests and stuff to do but unlocking them is based only on story progression and stage level.

So, I assume these quests for the dark hee-ho shopkeeper are just endless, right? I can just leave them alone after doing one for the play award, yeah?

I haven't owned a Sony system since the PS2. It's been all Nintendo all the way down. I just reached Chapter 2 myself. That's where the ~*censorship*~ happens, so I hear.

how does exp work for non active members? Do they get 100% exp, no exp or something in between. And if it's no exp is there scaling or something as a catch up mechanic

They gain a really negligible amount of exp and since they aren't doing sessions their skills aren't increasing at all. There is definitely scaling, though.

hmm for those who've beaten the game, is this a pick a party and stick with it game, or is it the kind of game where you get enough out of diversification to make it worth rotating

That said you get ways around that later. Once you can do Sub-Sessions you'll gain a bunch of weapon mastery from that and your protagonist gets a skill which gives 20% of all weapon mastery exp to the sub-characters. There's also a Watchfulness skill for back-lane EXP gain.Cake Attack posted:hmm I haven't finished it but diversification is a must. Your team just can't cover everything on its own and having a fully-equipped party means your sessions get a lot more powerful. Class Change allows you to pick what the character diversifies into though.

Played a bit of this game today. Just killed Aversa and finished Chapter 1. So far, I've had an alright challenge, but I'm guessing the difficulty will start to pick up soon. Also, this game is fantastic!

I think savage enemies are based on your party level, not the dungeon you are in. I doubled back from the chapter 2 dungeon to the 106 idolsphere and the savage enemies had changed from a trio of lvl 11s to a quartet of lvl 26s. This actually makes for really easy powerlevelling if you're prepared. At any point in the game go to 106 and activate Touma's skill... I think Estoma? And the only enemy spawns will be occasional savage enemies that will give you a boatload of xp. I felt like I got much better xp gains fighting a few savage enemies than mowing down waves of mooks in the current dungeon. This will probably also help with powerlevelling somebody who had been benched.

Since the side stories are tied into characters stage levels, I take it it requires quite a bit of extra grinding if I wanted to see everyone's side stories? Or is there a way to quickly rank up someones stage levels late in the game?

I had a character start at 2 star power and they were gaining points really quickly as I used them.

Yeah it seems good about stuff like that at least, I've noticed that when you equip a new weapon you always get enough weapon exp for the first skill after just one battle as well.

I shouldn't be surprised, but there's already a patch to "uncensor" the game. Including apparently changing gameplay improvements.

Can I get a version that just fixes the wedding dress to not be appallingly ugly? Edit: But for real tho, good for them. Isn't it better this way, that everyone can enjoy the game? It might not matter to us, but for the people it matters it seems undeniably like a good thing. Infinity Gaia fucked around with this message at 18:59 on Jun 26, 2016 |

The people who it matters to are upset they can't masturbate to a teenage in a bikini so to be honest I don't have a ton of sympathy for them. That or I guess they're very very very big enthusiasts of a very specific wedding dress but I'm not particularly jumping to give benefit of the doubt to the mysteriously large group of wedding dress enthusiasts who can't enjoy a game without it.

Besides, you know that you're being a little reductionist, I have some friends (massive weebs) who just hate any form of change from the original. While I believe change can be for the best, who am I to judge if someone disagrees to the point of going into the game and replacing stuff themselves?

While I believe change can be for the best, who am I to judge if someone disagrees to the point of going into the game and replacing stuff themselves? When we're talking about a niche title that sold poorly in Japan and is probably not selling well in the US, it actually isn't a 'live and let live' thing. If they decide to pirate the game (as is pretty likely because most people really upset about this aren't going to be patching their legally purchased copy on a homebrew Wii U and the censorship bullshit makes them feel 'justified' for doing so) then it actually has a negative impact rather than being neutral. They also did demand Nintendo change stuff back, Nintendo just ignored them. They absolutely deserve to be mocked. They're not interested in censorship or localization, most of them probably don't actually know what was changed except for misleading videos. If they were they'd probably be playing the Japanese version because the localized version of the game has a number of edits that I'm willing to bet the patch doesn't catch because they're not women in bikinis. (Or they're using the exact same script in which case they don't care about any dialogue edits, just women in bikinis.) ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 19:21 on Jun 26, 2016 |
