If you've built for physical, you can get by with just your MC having Pierce and making everything else keep your buffs/debuffs up while the MC launches charged Freikugels. Might take a little longer without an extra demon helping with damage, but not overly long.

Neeksy posted:P1 and P2 had a different writer/director team than P3-5. The only continuity between them is at most little nods to each other for fans so you could play them in any order without losing much if anything in terms of narrative. I'd say P5 is very much along the lines of P4, what with the personas being summoned by ripping off a mask both literally and metaphorically. The theme this time is rebellion against societal constraints.

Also, perhaps by accident, perhaps not, P5 happens to be extremely relevant to current events. BIG SPOILERS The main not-an-evil-god bad guy is a Japanese nationalist politician promising to Make Japan Great Again

Stat buffs/debuffs lasted until cleared or overwritten in Nocturne. It was pretty OP honestly.

Neeksy posted:At the very least P4's dungeons have some kind of thematic connection to the characters and plot. Hell, the idea of television and mass communications as an entry point into the collective unconscious is at least a somewhat interesting concept. The how and why of Tartarus is prettymuch "i dunno we needed a dungeon and boss location", and visually imparts no appreciable meaning to the story. P3 was a new scenario writer for the series and is not as cohesively developed as their later entries. They really go whole hog on the thematic dungeons for P5, but then also have a Tartarus-like randomly generated dungeon where all the side mission targets are(you can't revisit plot dungeons after you've finished them).

Endorph posted:i think also the focus on character songs and deep emotions portrayed through music are pretty appealing to a female demo too. that's just me guesstimating tho but when i've talked to other female fans it's pretty much always the music that's brought them in. I'm a guy, but one of the things I liked about Ar Tonelico (2 especially) is that despite the harem trappings and the weirdness around diving, the female characters get a lot of agency compared to a lot of other RPGs. Croix in Ar Tonelico 2 is basically there for emotional support while Cloche and Luca, and eventually Jacqli, drive the plot forwards. You also get a good amount of development in the relationships between supporting characters, completely independent of Croix. Compare that to, say, Persona 4, where it feels everything revolves around the MC.

SyntheticPolygon posted:Rise is cool and I like her, but the navigators still have a problem of having a set number of lines that get repeated all the time. I was never too bothered by it, but if you're annoyed at it in P3 it's not really something they really fixed in p4 from what I remember. P5 makes it better by allowing the older navi characters to keep piping up so you get more variety in the lines. In total there's three people sharing the navi duties.

Moochewmoo posted:Hey SMT4A question here. I've never played one of these before. I can just sort of combine demons as I see fit yeah? There's no reason to have one of each of anything like that? Always be fusing. If for some reason you want a specific demon back you can pay some macca to summon them out of the compendium.

NikkolasKing posted:I lower Teddie's Attack, Agility and Defense, I maybe have Yosuke raise Agility becaus he's just kind of useless at present due to not even having Garula. Chie raises Attack on herself and Yukiko. Then a whole lot of defending because Teddie loves to charge up big moves. I throw in some damage when I've lowered all his stats but I like to keep at least his Agility down so he misses with Heat Wave and his othe rbig party-all moves. A big problem is Yukiko has to Guard a lot b ecause he likes to spam Ice attacks. IIRC, the hand in each dungeon has a different set of weaknesses. Some of them you will have to pray for crits, yes, but usually you just need to find what they're weak to and then go to town. EDIT: after looking things up, it appears that P4G golden hands work differently from base P4 and P5  P4G golden hands are only weak to Almighty, so pray for a crit or wait until you get Megido attacks.

Grozz Nuy posted:It could just be a coincidence, they've recasted a bunch of Persona characters recently for a variety of reasons. I mean, the new JP VA sounds way different from old Igor, and there's dual audio this time, so recasting Igor in English is only natural, if only to keep the character "feel" similar between both scripts.

CharlestonJew posted:I quit Nocturne. I got to the assembly of nihilo and that switch maze completely drained any desire I had to finish the game. That's... a really easy maze, though? I once ended up stopping a run there, but that was because I was playing on emulator and a rounding bug made a ladder inaccessible.

Haru looks the most normal because she's dressed as the reporter lady from the Raidou games. Edit: actually, all the costumes in that trailer are references to other SMT games. Junpei is dressed as Hijiri

NikkolasKing posted:I dunno if it's just my imagination but it feels like demons level up in Nocturne at a glacial pace. I want to fuse and make new demons so badly but I can't because they all still have one last ability I want. Like Oni and his Fang Breaker. I made a mistake focusing so much on War Cry as bosses are now starting to liberally use Dekunda and I don't have 40 MP to keep wasting on this poo poo. Yeah demons level a lot slower than the MC. I would advise registering your guys and fusing up. If you really want that skill later you can pull them back out of the compendium and finish their leveling in a later zone, but odds are a lot of those skills will get obsoleted anyways before long.
