His Japanese voice actor is loving top notch so that will be some big shoes to fill.

I don't know if English Ryuji is better but he is very good.

Both among the best performances in their respective dubs.

Put a bunch of upper-tier Personas in the electric chair. I think Makoto's god-gun is from Metatron? Joker has a +5-to-everything gun. The Crystal Skulls turn into +5-to-everything accessories, if you can bother getting hold of one before the final day.

It's a critic's darling for a reason, and even seasoned anti-JRPG people like Yahtzee seemed to like it. There's no reason to play the older games first either.

man what



Was I just really bad at Persona when I was younger or is Persona 5 a lot easier than 3 and 4? Just beat the game and the final bosses were a breeze, compared to the boss of Palace 7 were I was actually in a little bit of trouble. Thanks to my Personas Yoshitsune (damage), Lucifer (debuffs), Attis (heals and magic) and Cybele (other heals and magic).

4 especially I was having a really hard time managing SP and staying on track with the level curve while others were apparently breezing by as if the Fox costs meant nothing to them.

Maybe it helped that for this game I followed a Confidant guide - not for scheduling, just for saying the right thing.

it's way easier to manage your SP in this game and also the eprsona fusion systems are way friendlier, but p4 and p3 weren't really that hard.

P3's midbosses can loving piss off and die though. It does not take them long to start smashing you with some nasty things.

Persona 3 could be difficult even outside of situations where the enemy just loving ends you because you got ambushed

That was mostly due to the inability to directly control party members though.

my strategy: He's weak to ice so if you bring in Yusuke and you have Bufu on your MC you can pretty much lock him down. Makoto also has a party brainwash ending spell if she manages to dodge it. Using the MC to stun him and baton passing to Yusuke so he can use his physical skill that gets stronger on baton pass was my solution.

imo if you go out of your way to fuse Yoshitsune you don't get to complain about the last boss being a breeze (i also fused Yoshitsune, man that last boss was a breeze).

Even if I didn't have Yoshitsune I'd still have other cool dudes and Ryuji would still exist and have God's Hand. Hassou Tobi means I get through the trash battles just fine but even the bosses were just eh. First round of every battle was Debilitate on the boss.

Nope, explicitly stated by Sojrio. He brought her curry, and she improved the hell out of the recipe into what it is today.

Three reasons:

1. He had too much HP for her AI to focus on healing by default
2. She was set to Act Freely rather than Heal/Support
3. The enemy was susceptible to Charm

This isn't some big mystery.

why would you set her to anything else

the main bugbear in the p3 ai teamates is that they understand the affinity a boss has if you analyze them even though to you it just reads as ???. this and just not using tactics is what leads her to doing dumb poo poo like mind charge into ice break
