The midgame uniques really are extremely broken. This team is practically invincible and kills minibosses of higher level within like 4 or 5 rounds on hard.

I don't like Nekomata. All of the other demons are fine but when I pass by a herd of wild catgirls, meowing and hissing, I Do Not Like It.

Here is something that has bugged me - is there any place in the game that tells you what the little status ailment icons mean? That was one reason I ignored them for so long. Yes, Z's is Sleep, Bubbles is Poison, and Hearts is Charm. What the gently caress about Mirage? I decided to try that giant boss in the first area and only after using the Avian skill did I realize the Weak in his Spyglass info is referring to Mirage because all it does is give me a symbol with no explanation of what it means.

My copy arrived a couple of days late so I only just beat the Tokyo Tower boss, but so far this game rules. I like the essence system a lot more than 4’s demon whisper and 3’s magatamas, and the music and atmosphere are excellent.

NikkolasKing posted:Also I realized it a while ago now but it didn't dawn on me until...I dunno, the first real boss or maybe even after, that turn order is entirely set by party placement. Characters in first slot always go first and so-on. Agility determines turn order in every other Press Turn game I know of. I guess it was changed here to accommodate Magatushi skills; I always have my MC in the second spot now so the first slot can be taken up by my resident Jaki and they can start off any notable fight with the free Debilitate. ...I didn't realize you could even do this. I got used to MCs being locked in the first position and didn't even try.

I made it to the first proper-ish boss at Tokyo Tower with Nahobino and another demon at 17, the other two at 14 or 15, and the thing just stomped the poo poo out of me in one turn (in "phase two"). thats just the game telling you your setup is wrong. i beat thhat boss at 14 or 15 on hard.

Yeah you gotta play real smart due to how little damage you do from the level difference. If you can do an opening salvo on the pixie and kill her in like one round from the magatsuhi critical move it makes it alot easier IME.

Also I think my favorite boss theme so far is the one played for Oni and King Frost, among others probably but just giving two examples because the song rules and I wish I knw what it was. I'm scared to look up soundtrack info for spoiler reasons

You can also check your inventory for item spells. I had about 5 of those heavy ice spells. Might be RNG tho on how many you have. It's definitely a doozy on hard but very possible.

Things that help: Also as an extra help you can recruit Apsaras by doing her quest, she comes at 16 regardless of your level and has Bufu proficiency so she's a second damage dealer with Mermaid. And her quest is as simple as abusing Dark Dampeners because the bosses only have Dark and physical

Heck, I've been using item spells way more often than I ever have in other SMT & Persona games. I guess it's because a lot of boss fights can be a battle of attrition so every little bit counts.

It was almost comical how well that worked.

So a driving concern in fantasy fiction with gosd and demons is "why do beings with phenomenal cosmic power and immortality care about humans?" Humans have neither of those things yet are often at the center of the story. Some answer it by saying Human Faith empowers the gods. In terms of SMT, IVA said it's because only humans can truly slay gods and kill them forever while demons can only seal or wound other demons. Apparently here it's because we are all imbued with the lingering Knowledge/true full power of the old gods. This idea that YHVH ascended and hosed over all the old gods was super prominent in Strange Journey and IVA and still seems to be a big focus here. In SJ and IVA, YHVH made the previously beautiful gods - Asherah for example is a sexy blond lady yet she was turned into the ugly Asura - into weaker, demonic forms of themselves. I wonder if that will be touched on here more later as well.

I am perhaps not a strong enough gamer for Hard mode, starting to just find it kinda frustrating. Maybe it's down to the pacing--every fight being a struggle for survival just kinda gets tiring, I think. I feel like I want the challenge to have some peaks and valleys rather than being all peak all the time. Not turning it down just yet though because even though I am weak and bad at video games I am also extremely stubborn.

Is magatsuhi wellspring worth the 150 glory investment in the fairly early game? About how much HP/MP do you get each turn?

A pittance, less than ten percent.

About how much HP/MP do you get each turn? it's not a lot but its passive regen that can be clutch for longer fights. not like you have much to spend on glory anyway, if you don't get baited by the proficiency buffs and other crap. as long as you have enough glory for demon skills, slots, and the ability to let demons use items.

I don't know why they made Ippon-Datara sound like that but he rules. Sounds like he's completely unhinged, having his arm cut off, and enjoying every minute of it.
