Just beat Palace 7. Wasn't a huge fan of his fight theme. P2's was better but I dunno. Ameno Saigiri in 4 had the much better penultimate battle theme. Akechi not getting his own one sucked too.

SMT was a good game until you got the full team, then it became a unbearable slog where every turn seemed to take like a full minute to go through due to the chain system and it's not like they did much damage anyway.

It was kinda poop.

Yeah, I was loving the game until I started getting chains in excess of 6 and also sometimes needed to hit a button to trigger some inane cutscene duet.

I loved P4, but I don't think I could ever go back to it because this game makes it look so poor in retrospect.

I could still go bacj to Persona 4. It'd grate a bit but I'd survive at least until I try to punch through the screen to murder Marie.

Playing Persona 3 now would be like trying to go back and play early 3D games on the PS1

I just finished the game so I'm catching up on this thread.

Haru actually responds really well IIRC to taking the cool joking choices. She takes a joke a lot better than Makoto or Ann do, even in a highly emotional situation, because she relentlessly sees the best in people and doesn't see much point in dwelling on suffering.

Haru's cool.

"I can taste the elephant" is actually the correct choice.

I hate everything about Palace 5 especially this asspull of a "boss" on hard difficulty, and really screw the scachaths in the airlock maze. Managed to nab one though.

If you bring Haru to the fight, the final robot will only ever attack her so she can spam Tetrakarn for massive damage. The final stretch where it only does Big Bang Challenge is annoying, but with Tarunda is should be survivable on Hard (well, that's what I did anyway). And it heals you if you have Hunger, so don't cure that.

Lowering the boss' defense works wonders too.

Gonna repeat my post about Ann in endgame


With free sp refills in the last dungeon and the fact that Ann got the severe aoe version instead of single target means she beats the crap out of trash fights and boss fights

How much grinding would you have to do for Ann's severe aoe to be relevant on trash fights? I didn't even have it by the final boss (where admittedly it would've been pretty useful).

Palace 7

WTF do I do in this mouse maze? I found the deactivate statue button but it's in a inescapable dead end

Also, you know those dungeons in RPGs where the battle and victory music is replaced by the dungeon's theme? This should have been one of those times.

The big room with enemies there has 3 tunnel exits...

I'd been thinking to myself that the palaces were supposed to be themed as classic caper locales but then I got to level 5 and I can't really think of any good heists set on a space station.

If a shadow sucks enough compared to your level it'll just skip the fight and add the persona directly to your stash.
