Do you get bonus for playing on hard?

Only "bonus" (achievement) is finishing a game on Lunatic afaik, and you only unlock Lunatic after finishing a game once, and you can't change difficulty anymore after picking it.

The fist bump the guys do with their performa is one of my favorite things about this game so far.

Rare enemy encounters, if a gold enemy pops up run into as fast as possible and hope you kill it. I think they're in the first few dungeons.

You'll eventually get a spell that makes rare encounters (and savage encounters) pop up more.

Okay I got an urgent waifu question: is there any choice for who Itsuki ends up with? haven't started chapter three but it seems like the game's pushing the Itsuki and Tsubasa together since they're both the mains and also childhood friends, but the dynamic with Kiria is far more interesting and cute, should I just give up hope of them together?

Played a dungeon for over an hour, fought a big guy thinking it was the end, and found out I was only halfway through it.

Yeah, okay, this is a SMT game.

I like this game a lot more than I thought I would (I love me some Persona 4 and think Fire Emblem is alright), but boy howdy do I feel like I'm looking at a Dead or Alive game sometimes. Also wish there was an English dub, but :shrug:.

Man dungeon 4 sucks. Literally every enemy is weak to Thunder or Axe only so if I want sessions kicked off I better use Itsuki/Ellie/Mamori

I feel like the other 3 are falling behind but every time I swap them in and see that I won't get get my 5-6 session I decide to swap back.

Remember that the "bane" skills will pierce defence for the whole session, I used those a lot (can't remember what I had by #4 though...)

Has anyone else seen the fact that if you're snarky the whole time you can miss out on a dual tech ability with Tsubasa and Itsuki? I've only seen it really matter Chapter 4 on and most of the points you need are from a Side Quest but the only outline about what answers help has been from a Japanese site, wondering if stuff is different in the US. http://spwiki.net/sharpfe/wikis/91.html

It sounds like you can make up for it by doing the side stories but you'll unlock it faster if you're actually nice to Tsubasa

Am I supposed to be getting treasure keys from one of the lotteries or something, because I feel like I never have enough for all the locked item boxes

Which is especially annoying because you have to redo a bunch of those dress puzzles in 106 to get to one of the locked boxes in the basement

I got super lucky just now, im at chapter three and opened the first gate you see in the dungeon when i decided to save, then i cross a bridge and two savages jump me, ended up dstroyed but with 0 progression lost. The best.

If you trade detritus a bunch of times, not sure how many, you get a request that rewards you with the Lock touch skill which lets you just open all chests.

Yeah, I'm playing on normal and the Savage Encounter in the Ch. 3 dungeon has been kicking my rear end, repeatedly, and the game hasn't made a peep about lowering the difficulty. I've only beaten the encounter once out of the half dozen or so times it has popped up. It's the one with the wyverns and armored knights. It's a right bastard. I think my one victory was a fluke. Oh well. I save as soon as I see them pop up, so I lose all of zero progress when they inevitably grind my rear end into paste.

You can cheese Macca Converters pretty easily. From GameFAQs:

quote:

Take the teleporter to the 6th floor and follow the right path past the orange costume to the switch. Press the middle button, turn around and enter the closer sleeve to go up to the 7th floor. You will find a small area with a wall that can be broken by whatever means (i don't know yet, i'm only in chapter 2 though).

Run around there near the sleeve, specifically near the carpet in front of the sleeve entrance. If an enemy spawns and it isn't the golden on, just stand on the carpet and wait, the enemy will vanish as soon as it tries to enter the carpet (for whatever reason). Then just start running around again.

The first enemy is always either rare or savage. I think you have to Traport and then return to get it to respawn rare each time. It only took me about 10 minutes of doing this to get about 5 of them so it's easy pie.

You don't really have to leave the dungeon. Using Attract Water or Riberama will cause Mirages to spawn, and the majority of them will be Rares.
