Re: Devil Survivor; on the original version if you were to start a fresh new game, rather than NG+, would it erase all progress you've made with like complete endings for the title screen and such? I could do an NG+ sure, but (aside from, y'know, Lucifer) it's just way too easy and just feels more like I'm going through the motions again, moreso than anything else. At least when playing from scratch again there's a possible chance I could gently caress up and die at some point. Even if it's only on Day 6 or 7.

I played through P3 a good half a dozen times easily and I don't remember the having a twin sister who died thing at all. I even just checked a script of it on GameFAQs and there's no mention of it there either. It's almost definitely just fans being fans.

Technique posted:remake SMT1 At this point it's pretty obvious that after P4P the next thing Atlus is gonna do is remake Eternal Punishment. I just hope they don't do that and actually make either P5, Raidou 3 or SMT5 instead of remaking poo poo again and again and again. But if they must remake something, Soul Hackers is a drat good candidate. I'd be more interested in that than pretty much anything else they could remake at this point.

ImpAtom posted:This is what I do but a lot of people have trouble with the game even when doing this. That is where grinding comes in, because if they are still having trouble even after doing that, the solution for them is to punch and/or talk to random encounters until they can get past it. Maybe this is just me being crazy here, but how does this not apply to Persona 3 or 4 exactly? The obvious lack of negotiation aside, I don't think someone who's having trouble playing normally managing to beat, say, Shadow Yukiko (P4 early game boss) without having to grind. I wouldn't exactly say 3 is grind-free either what with having an entire extra dungeon devoted solely to making grinding easier.

ImpAtom posted:I wouldn't say it doesn't, but in general there are mechanics in place to reduce the amount you have to do. Social Links in particular grant so many levels that leaving the dungeon for a few days and returning after you've gained a few social link levels is probably a lot more effective then simply grinding out the levels. So... stopping to grind a social link in this scenario isn't grinding even though it's exactly what your definition said it is? Man, this argument is dumb. Why are you even arguing even though what you laid out is grinding in a slightly different way?

After a bit of searching, it looks like you can get it on Play-Asia (with a Japanese version of Persona 4). It only comes in XL though, which kinda sucks. vv Oh poo poo, sorry about that.

If you weren't a bitch to Junpei a whole bunch, and the sole cause of him becoming halfway decent in combat, I'd have probably forgotten you existed. And yet here she is.

Dogbutt posted:I'm at the first demon fight and I'm really scared where I should distribute my stats. I don't want to get Beldr'd again... There's nothing along the lines of punching Beldr to death, so you don't need to worry about that. Fights are harder in general though, in my opinion at least, but you can mitigate that a fair bit come Tuesday. It's possible to pick up a fair few late game skills from one boss then if you use Skill Crack correctly.

Momomo posted:This is definitely doable your first time, because I did it. The leader ran away, but I was still able to kill everything else. Just go on the southeastern path and take each demon on one-by-one. Near the end you might be getting attacked by two, but it shouldn't be that bad. Yeah I did that as well, but it doesn't "count" unless you actually beat Ghost Q. If you do that, you can fuse him afterwards; making him rout doesn't give you that possibility.

Alteisen posted:Daichi seems more suited to multi hit. Daichi's pretty good at multi-hitting but if that's what you're using him for, I'd swap him out for Hinako. As I found out come Day 7 of my first playthrough, she is easily the best multi-hitter (the fact that she gets natural 40 for both Strength and Agility doesn't hurt but it takes a while).

UselessLurker posted:The trick to the Yamato battle, like every lategame battle, is Evil Wave. You don't even have to leave the platform you start on - just have your two heaviest hitting humans roll with Dragon demons and go to town. Why are you using Evil Wave at that stage? Use Chaos Wave instead. If you have Evil Wave, Yamato can still eat you alive without repercussion since he has an Arioch with him which lets him attack from 4 spaces away.

Pureauthor posted:My biggest complaint is basically long stretches of time where my characters just stood there helpless while the same enemy unit sometimes got two or even three turns to initiate on me. Yeah, I've had fights become literally unwinnable because of that since it's possible for you to never, ever get a turn; your turns always get pushed back whenever you get attacked. Even if you can't retaliate. It's really a stupid mechanic, and one of the few things I think DS2 just did flatout worse than the first one. The same thing applies to the AI, sure, but they usually outnumber you in such a way that it's irrelevant.

P3 has multiple physical "elements" as well (Slash, Bash and Pierce compared to just Physical in P4), along with fusion spells if you have 2 specific personae with you but I don't think there's anything else different.

Speaking of weird spell stuff, I can't remember offhand if any game other than the DDS duo use the Tera stuff. Am I just missing/forgetting something, or is that actually the case? Seems a bit weird to have two games with 5 elements rather than 4 is all.Dr Pepper posted:Not having to reload for half an hour to get the right skills on something will be a godsend.

Dr Pepper posted:I'm sorry but the Press Turn isn't any more deep then HIT THE WEAKNESS either. I think the difference between the regular Press Turn system and P3/4s is that, in the regular one at least, even if you do hit a weakness you don't get infinite turns out of it, so turn management becomes an important thing to factor in as well. In P3/4, you can go entire fights just having the MC spam the same spell ad infinitum and no one else will ever get a turn.

I'm sorry everyone. I kinda disagree, to be honest. I loved Persona 3 and 4 but I'd rather there be a different system when 5 comes out. As good as some stuff could be with the S.Link system, I'd really prefer something else. If they really have to keep it for whatever reason, then I'd rather have it closer to something like the Devil Survivor 2 FATE system.

Tae posted:What was that guy's name, Keita from Devil survivor 2? He's pretty bad, so was Ronaldo. I liked Ronaldo.  Keita was irredeemably awful, though. Especially when the only way to really learn what his whole deal is, is to let a much better character die. Really, Keita and Fumi are the only DS2 characters I didn't like that much. Not from a mechanical perspective (because Fumi's really, really good as a battle unit), but as actual characters I couldn't stand either of them. At least once you're done with his stuff early on, you never really have to put up with Keita again if you don't want to.

Yeah, that's the one thing I've found explicitly odd so far. That and the pacing, I guess; it is just 13 episodes, right? Since they just finished Monday after 3 episodes of that one day I find it unlikely they'll be able to wrap the whole thing up in the remaining 9. If it was the full 26 there'd be no problem, but it just strikes me as odd as is.
