Cleretic posted:Okay, I've ditched both Lunge and Focus, so I guess I'm not gonna be going physical. Focus isn't REQUIRED for a Physical build but it's really helpful. There are other good Physical skills you get later, but not for a while. Divine Shot is your first single target Physical skill that works as a replacement for Lunge (better damage and accuracy), but you probably won't get that until halfway through the game.

El Belmondo posted:Demon convos were incredibly easy in Strange Journey. The races had a usual set of responses, if you failed they were easy to try again, and if you were full up, they could join you later. It was miles easier than Nocturne, which required either luck or the lategame skills to recruit efficiently. You could get a lot of those skills really early on. You can get the Brainwash skill as early as level 15. I finished a replay of Nocturne about a month or so ago, and I never had any trouble with Demon Negotiation due to how effective some of the skills are.

If you're grinding for cash/EXP or looking for certain demons it can be beneficial. The Attract spells will increase the rate of this happening. In Nocturne it's possible for this to happen multiple times in a row. In my recent playthrough while using the Attract spell I would occasionally get something like a dozen encounters in a row.

DeathBySpoon posted:I remember reading that in the Japanese release of Soul Hackers 3DS, every single line in the game was voiced. In the US I think they reduced this to every line by a named character, which is still kind of insane. I'm definitely looking forward to it. From what I understand, they cut the side NPC voice acting because every male NPC had a single voice actor and every female NPC had a single voice actor, so it got kind of ridiculous talking to the same person over and over and over.

Snix posted:The MAG system in Soul Hackers is beginning to be a pain in the rear end. I'm in the art museum dungeon and I'm out of MAG. After a good several steps after each battle, my health starts deteriorating. My healer is out of SP, I have no SP items, Nemissa is running out of SP, and I'm low on cash. I can't just return my demons, because it costs MAG to summon them, and I can't go into battle without them because I'll get wrecked. I'm probably going to have to get the 1900 yen I have in the bank and trade it for more MAG, but I was hoping to save up so I could actually buy things. I wouldn't be so low on MAG in the first place if I didn't decide to explore what I could of the park and the entirety of the non-dungeon portion of the art museum without thinking to put my demons away. Is there any purpose to the MAG system other than to be a major inconvenience? I mean, it wasn't a problem until I screwed myself over, but drat am I screwed over now. And you can argue that you use it to heal your demons at the rest points in dungeons, but why not just use regular currency, like other games in the series? You're probably trying to play this like a modern SMT game and keeping a full party of demons summoned that are either at your level or only a couple levels below you. Don't do this, at least not with your full party, especially not that early on. Demons take MAG every step even when you're not in an area where you can encounter demons. That early on in the game, you can afford to walk around without a full party of four demons (+2 humans). You don't have to have all of your demons be that high leveled either, it's alright to have one or two demons in your party that are more than a few levels below your MC. MAG is basically there so that you don't overpower yourself. If you mess up and run out of MAG, run around in a previous dungeon for 15 minutes or so with just the humans with maybe one or two demons supporting in order to build up a pool of at least a few thousand MAG.

Overbite posted:Is there a place on this magical internet that will explain the demon fusing in Soul Hackers to me in simple words I can understand? Gamefaqs has nothing. I have a zoma but I don't know what it does, and I heard there's some other special demon that uses 3DS coins but I don't have it yet. Loyalty will have demons listen to your commands other than what they want to be doing, so yeah its incredibly useful if you want to not die during boss fights.

Nate RFB posted:-You do not have to do anything to unlock Yuzu's route, which means you can completely ignore all of her events. And on that note, it might be a good idea to do her route first since it's easier than the others and that way you can start a NG+ run which will make your life easier. Doing so will also unlock one of the best Tyrants. To add to this, I would recommend playing the story without a guide the first time through. Both Devil Survivor games are very good at reacting to your screwups, and having characters die is not the end of the story. While it is possible to get through both games without any deaths, the game throws enough playable characters at you that this won't be a problem.

I don't want to gimp myself, but I'm thinking of going physical because late-game pierce is usally never a bad idea in these games. The MC can't use magic and Nemissa learns spells, so pump STR for the MC and MAG for Nemissa.

alcharagia posted:What's the most effective way of doing well at the casino? Save scum regular poker and the double or nothing game until you have at least 10 thousand coins in your pocket. After that, play Versus Poker. You can take a loss and still come out ahead in the end if you have enough money to begin with. Interestingly enough, the regular Video Poker game has a payout very slightly in the player's favor, if you play with proper strategy.

casual poster posted:Ahhh, thank you. That's the phase of Kagutsuchi, the giant floating ball of light at the center of the Vortex World. It works like the Moon Phase system does in other SMT games. It affects various things. To quote a guide for the Japanese release of the game: quote:In any case, one of the defining characteristics of this new world is Some more detail should be added on demon negotiation differences in Full phase. Demons will respond to you as if they're drunk, but there's a pretty decent chance that they'll ask a single question of you. If you answer that question the way they like, they'll join without you having to go through the normal process of bribing them with money and items. It is worth it to try and talk to demons on the full moon because of this. jonjonaug fucked around with this message at 17:58 on May 4, 2013 |

oblomov posted:They have that and it's called SMT IV. Persona is not there for stupidly difficult dungeon designs (hey SJ and Nocturne), not that those are necessarily bad but just not in this game. At least dungeon design was more varied in P4 vs P3. I thought SMT IV had really simple dungeon design for a mainline SMT game. Outside of the final two dungeons and maybe one or two other rooms throughout the game there was nothing much to write home about. There wasn't really anything in the game as clever as Nocturne's Kabukicho Prison, Diet Building, Park, or Obelisk dungeons outside of one or two rooms, and nothing as good as some of the better dungeons in the DDS games.

The Unholy Ghost posted:Hey all, I'm about to start Digital Devil Saga and I remember hearing that one of the characters was extremely important to train for Digital Devil Saga 2. I'd like to know who as I'm planning to play both; also is there anything else I should prepare for? I've already beaten Nocturne so I'm sure I'll be better prepared for the Press Turn system this time. Well you need to make sure to keep Cielo leveled for DDS2 (some people don't do this) because you'll have to use him later. But that's only in DDS2. You lose all of your levels in between the two games, so don't get too concerned with grinding to 99 in DDS1 or anything. There are bonuses for importing a DDS1 save into DDS2 though.

Coughing Hobo posted:gently caress Cielo, having a weakness to status effects automatically makes him the worst character ever. Any area where I was mandated to have him in my party I just killed him and left him dead because he was more of a liability than an asset. I don't think there's anywhere in DDS1 where you have to use Cielo, and in DDS2 his weakness is way less debilitating.

Heroic Yoshimitsu posted:I'm pretty deep into Nocturne now, but I had a quick question. It looks like I can fuse up Matador, but there's a skull face for him where the dots on the fusion grid usually are. Is this skull just some sort of fiend identifier, or is it something else? It's a Fiend identifier. Fiend fusion is tied to the Kagutsuchi phase (different Fiends are available at different phases) and you need a Deathstone for every Fiend you want to fuse. Deathstones can be found as treasures in the Labyrinth of Amala. They're pretty rare so make sure you have your perfect Fiend all set up the first time around (Red Rider is a loving beast with Mana Refill, for example).

I just found a really amazing YouTube playlist. Guy goes through SMT: Nocturne only fighting the mandatory bosses and nothing else (although he does get cash by Pestering random encounters I think). He fights Matador at level 8 and finishes the game at level 45. He's also working on Hard Mode now (although he hasn't updated in a month). Here's his Matador on Hard mode at level 8 video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8p2KYwLx7GM

If you ever want to Compendium grind or need fusion fodder, there's a skill called Brainwash that has a very high success rate for instantly recruiting demons of a lower level than the demon using the skill. At 10+ levels above it has a success rate of practically 100%. Keep an eye out for it.

Orgia Carnaval posted:Welcome to Japanese retail anime prices, my friend. Hahaha, I'm just kidding, that's way cheaper than what it costs in Japan. It's actually more I think. With shipping for import it'd work out to about the same, but if you were to buy it through Amazon Japan I think you could actually get it for cheaper. Those prices are going to be discounted though at places like rightstuf, so it'll still work out to about the same. How Aniplex USA pricing works depends on the type of release. Films and shows released only as box sets (Fate/Zero and the Gurren Lagann Re-release) have subtitles already on the disc and the overseas release is just an import at about the same cost. For shows released in Japan at the usual rate of two episodes a disc, Aniplex USA releases box sets or discs with more episodes on them for a much lower price, but still quite expensive compared to most American releases.

The TV airing of the Persona 4 anime had really lovely animation quality for a good number of episodes, then suddenly got better about halfway through the show. There's one scene in one episode that makes use of the same three or four cuts for about two minutes, it's kinda hilarious. A lot of outright animation errors like that were fixed on the Bluray release, but the stuff that was outright low effort to begin with was mostly just touched up a little. hambeef posted:Quick dumb Persona 3 Portable question, tried looking elsewhere but hard to avoid what could be potential spoilers The female route has different social links and story scenes will play out somewhat differently. Your interactions with most of your party members is changed around is well (different dialogue during the story, everyone has a social link), with the exception of Aigis who's content is essentially entirely identical. The ending is the same.
