Instant Grat posted:Get a physical copy of Golden. VGP or Amazon will probably have them for cheap. It's like £6 for a digital copy on PSN and I have a £10'er from last months promotion in my wallet so getting a storage card is probably going to work out a bunch cheaper in the grand scheme. e: £4 right now actually. Definitely worth thinking about though 'cos the physical copy is ~£22 which might be about the same price as a second hand 8 gig'er for the leeway (quick internet searches say so anyway). I dunno, I'll figure it out when I get the PSTV I guess. It's second hand too so maybe they'll leave a storage card in, who knows.

Anyway, a 4 GB card works fine. I have games larger than P4G that fit on mine. Not that a 4 GB card is reasonably priced either.

At what point does this game start? My buddy and I are 2 hours into the game and so far we've watched about a half hour of anime, got lost in the Tokyo subway, and hung out with a cat on our way to school. Neither of us has played a persona game so far. Does the 'real game' start up soon or is this pretty much how it goes?

I think it took me 3-4 hours before I could start properly exploring the first palace. Time management stuff doesnt really open up properly until well into the second palace, night time activities are really restricted at first.

Opposing Farce posted:Yes. Which is why Ryuji and Ann are the best party members for boss fights where you can't hit an elemental weakness. I'm sure someone will do the numbers but if you can reliably get Baton Passes off something like Miracle Punch it might be worth considering Yusuke too. Especially if you get lucky with Futaba dropping Ultra Charges on you. Honestly they've all got pros - Ryuji's super durable and has Matarukaja, Ann has an emergency Diarahan and (Ma)tarunda, and Yusuke has High Counter and Masukukaja. Pick two of them, then Morgana/Makoto for your healer slot.

JackDarko posted:The midboss before the airlock puzzle was unbelievably difficult for me. I know it's incredibly easy with the right Skills but I had zero SP, and pretty much had to grind it out by guarding while my SP adhesives gave me enough juice to hit. If you are talking about the part with bunch of toy soldier looking guys in waves I almost had a few close calls there too, I didn't have the medium damage to all versions of the spells I needed only the light and after all out attacking each one still had like 5hp left so there were a few close calls where they summoned help and made me waste even more SP. Palace 5 was the first time I ever actually used any SP restoring items since getting the adhesives, and wouldn't you know it I decided to top Joker up with 2 snuff souls right after I killed the last enemy before finding the treasure  . Luckily I don't really think it will matter that much since I can always have Kawakami brew me coffee too now

When they have the achievement for hearing 250 nav lines from Futaba, what exactly constitute that? Is it when she explicitly comes in and does Moral Support or is it just like her at the top saying "All out attack" or "Weak to x"? The first one seems like it will take forever to get to 250, second seems like it's way too frequent so not really sure. Also Palace 5 will be easy on the replay because you don't have to Do any of the surveillance etc, you can literally just run right to the right robots and kill them, go clear the enemies before stopping the pounders, etc. I found the weaknesses in Palace 5 to be some of the easiest to exploit, not sure if I just had fused some good Persona luckily or just figured it out quickly.

I just beat the for-reals final boss and all my stats are maxed and the only Confidants I didn't max are Fortune, Empress and Tower. I'm OK with that, even if it did making Yoshitsune with Hassou Tobi ASAP slightly more expensive since he had to be re-summoned to have something sacrificed to him twice. Actually the end of the game was a lot easier than I expected. Makoto on support duty, Haru with gun skills, Ryuji occasionally charging but mostly wrecking everything, and Joker with Auto-Mataru and Hassou Tobi meant the final dungeons were a breeze. I took two laps of the end part just to make Ryuji hit 75 for God's Hand before doing the first boss of it. Also I got Passionate Listener on the very last fight of the game, wowzers.

What's not fun about hitting a button and watching your camera jerk away from you and panning over to an arm and then backtracking to that arm and then doing it 5 more times and then doing it 10 more times but this time it's presses instead of arms?

Why would they even let the arms be turned up to 10x is my question, it's like they stuxnet'd themselves for no real reason. They could have at least had Futaba hack them or something and made a clever joke to tie it in.

It's the theme of the whole area - work the drones to death, don't spare any thought to how it effects them. "You mean we can make the arms work 10x harder? Well why the hell aren't they?"

Yeah right after I posted I realized it obviously isn't a real factory and was just his distortion as soon as I started thinking about "why do they even have lunch break" and realizing they were not supposed to be robots but real people treated like bots. So in one sense I guess you could say I now understand the basic principle of the 5th palace that they introduce to you right at the beginning of it

I'm a fan of Haru over Ann--I like having the reflects on someone other than MC and Heat Riser is nice--but they're both awesome at endgame. Then Makoto in the final slot for a healer with Marakukaja and you've got a hell of a party.

Palace 7 was definitely the most annoying for me. Don't get me wrong, it had my favorite aesthetic in the game except for maybe Palace 6 but there's so goddamn many minibosses, to the point that it actually takes away from the actual big one. It's also the one time in the game that I was thankful for Ryuji's insta-kill. I also think it's pretty weird that that's Akechi's only time confronting the party after turning traitor, but that's neither here nor there.

Joker's supposed to be dead at that point, so he absolutely could not have met with Akechi in the interim. As for the others, I assume Akechi didn't think the Phantom Thieves would've lasted much longer with their leader dead.
