Especially something like archery where you shoot at stationary targets at a fixed distance. Yukari also potentially gets some kind of training for being in Featherman. Sure acting is a far cry from actual combat training but it's a step beyond other people.

Well, 101 hours later and I finally beat it. Outside of basically everything involving goro I don't really have any real complaints & it was basically everything I expected/wanted it to be. Please either end the series now or take a super long time to make another one atlus, TIA.

bewilderment posted:So, was the big calling-card midboss (you know the one) of Palace 7 meant to have some kind of special gimmick? I don't think I was too overlevelled (only killed the Reaper one single time), but he went down before he could do anything special. I got one message of "is staring at Joker" and then used a move called Laevateinn, but my Joker just totally dodged it and then next turn the boss died. Wait that boss has a unique move? I got a turn 2 Concen-Charge after using Debilitate and coming in with Mataru up and obliterated him with Snipe+Cripple boosted One-Shot Kill from Sieg. Paradoxically I feel like I missed out. What does it do?

MarquiseMindfang posted:Wait that boss has a unique move? It's just a single-target Almighty attack. His gimmick is that he's obsessed with showing up Joker, so I guess it could be dangerous if you were totally unprepared to take damage and also didn't have 3 party members willing to die for him (4 if you count Futaba's thing).

I keep on hearing conflicting things about whether to complete the last Palace as quickly as possible. I just started it, so should I take my time, or just do my usual thing of getting to the treasure and sending the card right away?

I consulted Behind the Name and learned that "Hayato" apparently meant "Falcon Person," which seemed appropriate for a Phantom Thief's name.

I name all my protagonists the same name, which is an anagram of my real name. It doesn't matter what gender, race, species. It means my characters get called "Comrade" a lot, which worked really well in this game. I named my group after these folks, it seemed appropriate

One of the party remembers asks Joker if he's used to the crowded trains yet. If he's from Tokyo, I'm pretty sure he'd know the stations and such already.

Arena takes place in the TV World while Arena Ultimax takes place in the real world merged with the TV World. So in both cases everyone has access to their persona normally. The P3 cast can even summon theirs without evokers!

beat the game. I gotta say it felt like I was playing the best power rangers/super sentai rpg I never thought I wanted. I think it was the fact that they were given actual costumes this time. I didn't really notice too much of a color scheme, but then I looked at all of the color of their gloves (Joker=red, ryuji=yellow, yusuke=blue, futaba=green, Ann=pink, Haru=purple, makoto=white, Akechi=well his thief gloves are grey/white but his gloves in the regular world are black so whatever, also morgana=I dunno he's a cat) and that's what clinched it. Like I know persona 4g had the featherman costumes and Yukari became a suit actor, but here it just feels so much more explicit. That last battle being such an explicitly wide scale thing with bystanders looking on, your max rank confidants cheering on and that loving poll going to 100% was really well done. Out of all the ways the story could ended, loving Satan saving Christmas was not one I would have predicted. definitely felt more consistent than p4's last fight. polish sausage fucked around with this message at 05:54 on Apr 24, 2017 |

I was first leery of Akechi right around the middle of the summer when I first notice the guy was doing TV interviews like every other day. Dude can't stay out of the spotlight for five minutes. I do appreciate the game lets me  to him every now and then.

polish sausage posted:beat the game. Anything was better than P4's "Hey, you might have forgotten something." Folks here seem divided on the entire end sequence but I just thought it was fabulous. Extremely heartwarming, yet ultimately bittersweet. The Thieves have to re-integrate themselves into normality and hope that they've inspired enough people to not be strung down by the chains that society unfortunately casts upon them.
