Charlie Bobson posted:Yosuke is the most realistically written teenager ever and I love him Pretty much. I wanted to punch him at a few points but that, again, is part of him being a teenager. Overall he's pretty cool. I'm just glad Kanji's gay thing is ancient and forgotten history since anything to do with that was when I wanted to hit Yosuke.

I swear the Yukiko's castle mini boss is bugged or something, I'm replaying golden and he just one shot my MC while he was using a resist physical persona, he even killed Kanji who was 300hp.  I'm at level 24 to, I don't understand why his rampage does such insane damage.

Iirc he actually has a special enemy only version of rampage with a much higher base damage.

Yeah his Rampage is what annihilated me when I first tried fighting him. Oddly, when I went back to beatt him and was much stronger and could probably survive it, he never used the move once. So I was looking up the plethora of P4A DLC and saw it has music from the other games. Well, the other new games, the ones people actually care about. (although I guess this is a shameful fact given P2 was goo dand PQ isn't?) Anyway, I realized, when looking at the listed songs included in the various DLC, that I didn't know a lot of them. Well, I knew the songs but I didn't know the names. Looking up the songs on YT to see if they were worth buying for the game, I saw that P4G's awesome normal battle music is part of the P4G soundtrack? Does that mean it wasn't the original battle music? Also the final boss version of "Burn My Dread" is way better than the normal one. If they offered that for DLC, I'd buy that. I'm not sure if I think P3 has better music than 4 but it has way bette boss music. NikkolasKing fucked around with this message at 14:28 on Feb 12, 2017 |

In P4G if you don't get an advantage in battle, "Time To Make History" plays as your music which was a new track. If you do get an advantage you get "Reach Out to the Truth" which was the music for all normal battles in vanilla P4.

I like the new song a lot better so it's a good thing the game really wants you to always get advantages. Thanks for the info.

I kinda liked the way Yosuke was handled because for me he went from bro #1 to a dirty homophobe I don't hang out with, which is a unique turnaround for a videogame character. They could have done with a lesson moment for him in the camping trip where you can tell him not to accuse our vulnerable younger friend of being a potential rapist just because he's gay. Can't say it was too out of character for teenage boys though. I'm really not enjoying TMS #FE that much, its definitly one of the best games on the Wii U but thats not really saying much imo. It just feels like an SMT game with all the bits I like about SMT stripped out and replaced with bland looking characters, tiny elf girls, a prescriptive upgrade system and huge tits. Its sort of making me hate Fire Emblem which was probably not the intent. I kinda dig the idea of summoning Personas/Mirages through performances though, the battle system is reasonably strong and people say its good so I'll stick at it (also I bought the drat thing so why not?) but I'm at chapter 3 and having to force myself to play.

TMS isn't really like SMT or FE, to the point where it pissed a lot of Fire Emblem fans for being like neither (it's really a Persona game). I'm willing to attribute the last issue there to Fates though.  Endorph said it better though: Endorph posted:why would you hate fire emblem for things that are part of the smt series

The only real kinda bummer is Tsubasa's outfit just being this Swan Lake with boobs thing and her victory pose being like check_out_anime_tiddy.gif, but then you put on her snapback outfit and have her never take it off. Tiki, I agree, is fuckin' obnoxious with her Big Bro thing. It's okay with Nanako because she's a literal kindergartner.

ImpAtom posted:You should never not specialize in a SMT game that gives you the option. Specialization basically always beats jack-of-all Basically this. They fixed Strength in Apocalypse so it is actually useful; it is now the mainstat for physical attacks. Dex is still king for gun skills. Magic is magic and awesome as ever. Keep in mind as well with spells that Hama and Mudo are now actual damage spells that proc the instant kill on smirk now. Accordingly they are just a lot more useful in general since they have usage outside of trash fights ; there are definitely enough bosses weak to light and dark that it is worth learning them or spreading them to your demons, and they are also just really useful spells against any enemy without actual resistances to them. (Note that if push comes to shove your hero can't learn Die For Me but CAN learn the Light equivalent.) I went magic for Apocalypse since I did Dex/Gun/Phys in regular SMT4 and had a blast.

I floated the basic idea of SMT4: Apocalypse by my 9-year old nephew, and he seemed pretty gung-ho about getting the Anarchy ending. A direct quote is "friendship is boring because then you don't get to kill anyone."  e: \/\/\/ Well I could have told you that.

i'm actually starting #FE myself and I'm a fan so far save for the fact that some of facial animation is wonky looking which makes the zoom in visual novel-esqe scenes not very flattering after spending a lot of time in recent RPGs with randomized loot going back to 'pay thing for upgrade' is relaxing

Rather anticlimactic. Then again, the game is obviously not over. I do seem to recall someone mentioning Golden added a few months onto te game? I can't imagine what I just did being even teh original ending though. Or how how you don't identify the killer. I don't even know if I've crossed into the zone of deciding what ending I get. I mean, I heard there's an ending where you work with the killer or something. Don't want any direction on what to do or anything, just wondering where I'm at in terms of wrapping things up?

This is how far you are from the ending (no plot spoilers): You have now qualified for the bad ending, which comes in several different flavors. (You will be warned to save before the fork.) One more dungeon and you will get the good ending. Two more and you will get the true ending. Three more and you will get the true ending plus the epilogue. E: There's the usual span of time before the next two dungeons; the final two have no real gameplay in between. epenthesis fucked around with this message at 21:49 on Feb 12, 2017 |

I've been playing Strange Journey lately and feel like the early game (I'm probably halfway into the second sector right now) is noticeably more difficult than the other Megaten games I've played. Probably because I cannot exploit elemental weaknesses as much and the demons feel like they do less damage overall. Does the relative difficulty of the game stay that way?

I wish I could be motivated to play TMS further (on Chapter 4), but I feel like you are just SOL if you ran out of tolerance and patience for Tsubasa. I don't extremely dislike the character or anything, I just... don't really care anymore about how bad she used to sing or how badly she acts or how she tries to talk to cats, and there is definitely a lot of focus on her above most of the other characters so far. Nothing really seems to be happening story-wise either, so that's a little bit of a bummer. MechaX fucked around with this message at 23:54 on Feb 12, 2017 |

NikkolasKing posted:eah my bad. If you want to see all the content, there's three more dungeons to go. So you still have a sizeable chunk of time to play. I'd say around 60 or so days worth of time to do things? I can't actually remember the dates and near the final weeks it skips over a bunch of dates to fast-forward a bit but you're definitely not in the endgame yet. EDIT: spoilered a little bit of it to be safe. Deltasquid fucked around with this message at 00:27 on Feb 13, 2017 |

Okay... I'm annoyed and even somewhat offended. I tried to express what I was thinking - my friends are all idiots who weren't there for the rest of the game. A Shadow is not your true feelings. It's part of you and you can fight it and Namatame seemed to be doing that. I kept trying to say that but there was no dialogue option. I kept saying something was bothering me and off because it obviously was. But Nanako lives and time passes an dI leave and that's obviously not a good ending. I have no idea what I did wrong. It's not my fault none of the options make sense or actually convey what Iwas thinking.
