PlasticPaddy posted:I'm playing Persona 4 and, surprisingly, I'm enjoying the hell out of it. The only issue I'm having is with the fusion system. It seems so complicated. How necessary is it? Can I ignore it can complete the game? If not, could someone explain it to my stupid rear end? Just check your fusion options every dungeon or so and just fuse what looks like the strongest persona you can. While you'll definitely have an easier time gaming the system, you can beat the game just fine by just doing that.

glod posted:Devil Survivor Overclocked was going smoothly until the Day 3 Beldr fight. The gimmick for damaging it is so tedious and annoying and the demons keep respawning As people have already said, getting a Kishin type is practically mandatory. But I never found it really necessary to get evil/chaos wave as well. I used a Deity type for Awakening since it makes your first strike against him deal quite a bit of damage (plus you get the advantage of extra turns which you lose if you have evil/chaos wave)

Thranguy posted:So, given that I played and enjoyed Persona 3 (including the Answer) and Persona 4, but when I tried to do Persona 1 on the PSP I hit a frustration/boredom wall somewhere around the third dungeon or so... It really depends on why you liked Persona 3 and 4. because if it's the whole social life sim element I don't think P2 will be the game for you.

Speaking of Devil Survivor, Dual Shadow is so hilarious broken in combination with Drain and Holy Dance. I mean I took out the 8th day boss for Naoyas route in two battle rounds with dual shadow proc'ing off Holy Dance both times. For the people who've played the sequel, did they tone down magic at all? I know reading up on some stuff they made Phys viable (which is great) but nothing really on magic.

jackofarcades posted:I'm starting Nocturne. I know it's hard. I'm already familiar with most of the battle mechanics from other SMT games. What I wanna know: is there a universally agreed upon "best" type of main character build? Or should I just pick a style and min max it? You wanna go phys if you're planning on doing the True Demon end, if not you can really just go with whatever.

I didn't read the spoilers because I haven't played P3P yet. Theres some differences but they're pretty minor and none of them really effect the plot as a whole.

Thuryl posted:The angels and the government are both trying to hunt you down, along with a bunch of stray demons drawn to you by your power as a Bel. You fight them all off, but have to return to the lockdown area to go into hiding. Eventually God announces that he's abandoning the world because humans hosed up so badly in the ordeal. The final battle of the route is against a levelled-up version of Belberith, who's commanding most of the demons in the lockdown. If you completed a sidequest to restore the barrier over Tokyo that the Four Devas were protecting then it's possible to drive out all the demons, otherwise you get to look forward to a future as a government-appointed anti-demon squad, fighting on the front lines in a war with no end in sight. Even the bad ending of the 8th Day is still better than the "you hosed up, have a drat ending and go play NG+" that the original was. Did both of those endings have their own achievement? Both of Naoya's 8th day routes did, but I don't think I saw a slot for two Yuzu ones.

Speedball posted:Well, they smoothed out the interface a bit for the new version of Innocent Sin, gave it a new text parser, made all the menus new, and (I think) made the sprites a little less pixel-y, but it's not a complete remake like it could have been, nor does the plot seem to progress as naturally as Eternal Punishment did. I guess when they made EP back in the day, they smoothed out most of the wrinkles after they were done with IS. The Theater is extra content added for the port. Although use it at your own peril, you can essentially break the game by going to the first one the second it becomes available and render the main game trivial from all the levels you get.

Dolphin Fetus posted:Can someone who's beaten the Psp version tell me how "epic" the ending feels in comparison? I know I berated them before, but I think the last couple of cutscenes in the game were pretty good and really helped up the scale. I'm trying to imagine how it would have felt without them. Honestly after playing both versions I found the PSP ending scene to be a bit less potent, since you just get a few stills from the cutscene instead of the whole deal. It still felt emotional but definitely less so.

Someone put it in spoilers or something please (planning to play Nocturne, don't want to gently caress it up) In the last Kalpa of the Amala Labyrinth theres a door that only opens if you send the demon you've had since the beginning (The Pixie obviously) and if you send them in, they turn back into a pixie (if they were fused into something else) but at a really high level with really good skills.

Technique posted:She was basically put in the game for all the people who love traps or whatever, and then just to make it even creepier you can tell her to put on a school uniform. I didn't even like Naoto but your first point is pretty off. She was pretty much a textbook example of a play on the extremely popular "boy genius detective" trope that Japan is absolutely bonkers about (same thing with Kanji and the hardened badass delinquent trope) Her dressing like a guy wasn't really ever presented as "sexy" or sexual. The second point I won't touch though because I thought that was pretty off too.

Alteisen posted:What the gently caress is with this mission in Overclocked, I'm supposed to stop these SDF tamers from escaping but they're getting like 2 or 3 turns to my one, I just failed for the 2nd time despite having the last one at almost no health, this is retarded. That was probably the worst mission in the entire game, however I found just stacking evil/chaos wave demons allowed me to snipe them pretty easily. Constrict could probably help too. e: Also try to build your demons around just bashing the head in of the tamer rather than focusing on the damage sponge demons they have.

tooooooo bad posted:Whoa, hold on buddy. You just spent sixty+ hours doing this fun-times murder mystery thing but wait up boss we've got this optional two hour segment tacked on to the end that has nothing to do with what came before and is so half-assed that it only seems to have been included out of obligation so just forget everything that the entire rest of the game was about because here's the the real poo poo right here. You saw that ridiculous text dump in the middle of the game, obviously this is what it was about all along! None of the non mainline games are sold as SMT games in japan but considering they all use the same demons/composer/artists/etc they pretty much are in all honesty.

Loving the theme they went with. http://www.youtube.com/user/ATLUSxP5 e: Yeah listened to a few more songs, it's obviously a fake but goddamn if I didn't get my hopes up for a split second.

Maybe I'm just playing wrong but DS 2 seems to have stepped the difficulty up without being overly cheap (which is a good thing) Just beat the second boss right before One of its little bomb things got to the end of the map, it decided to attack my last standing guy and a full crit multi-hit from one of my demons finished him off before he could ice dance me to death  I'm just hoping they don't throw any bullshit missions at me down the line, like the infamous one in DS1 where you have to stop those rogue SDF guys from escaping, that was a royal pain.

Does anyone have any tips for the fourth day boss in DS2? Any demon combos would be appreciated. Getting to the boss is just a pain since those stupid birds move so goddamn fast and just murder my demons with mazan or berserk. e: I know it was practically the same thing in DS1 (IIRC at least) but I wish Free Battles actually gave decent xp and weren't just basically there for money + skill farming. :\ Ibram Gaunt fucked around with this message at 00:45 on Mar 1, 2012 |

Thanks for the tips to beat the day 4 boss, just having a demon with flight basically removed all the hard parts.  Another quick question, When does Holy Dance start appearing? I'm on day 6 now and I've yet to see it at all. I got drain but that can only carry you so far.
