I imagine if the anime does well they may consider making P4P but who knows.

redreader posted:Apart from the Chinese diner, what's the best way to raise attributes? Making cranes for understanding is not paying off too well, nor is studying at the desk. It seems that reading books for courage is 'significantly' good though? do I have to finish the first book before I can start another? also, is the hospital job worth doing? Reading books is the fastest way to raise stats. Different books raise different stats.

Fooley posted:Is there ever a way to regain MP during a battle in Devil Survivor? Divine demons can use their racial ability to sacrifice health to recover MP for the whole team. Tyrant demons gain HP and MP after every engagement. I think those are the only ways. Edit: both beaten and wrong.

You get Pierce by finishing the Amala Labyrinth. Just remember that this locks you onto the True Demon Ending.

There aren't any Persona Users for almost half of the arcana so unless they start making new characters that won't really be possible.

Authorman posted:Or you could just skip the secret ending as it is dumb jrpg garbage polluting a fine anime scooby doo mystery. Honestly you could just stop playing at finding out the who the murderer is, as the game goes rapidly downhill in quality from there. I guess you could do that if you like plot holes and ignoring the main theme of the game.

Catalina posted:Incidentally, what exactly does the agility stat do? Does it affect turn order and hit/evasion? Definitely turn order but if it affects hit rate it's not to a very noticeable degree. I think you only need around 25 or so agility to always go first so it's probably better to put points in Vitality beyond that.

Other than the Amala Labyrinth and Amala Temple, the dungeons in Nocturne are relatively straight forward and probably the best in the series. I've been replaying DDS2 recently and all of the dungeons have so much backtracking that I never really noticed the first time through.

Momomo posted:So I'm on day 2 of Devil Survivor 2, is going as a Physical MC viable? People said avoid it like the plague in the first one, but I did it there too and didn't have very much trouble. Right now, it seems really good that I can one-shot some of the weaker demons, but will this come back to bite me? Physical builds were kind of bad in the first game because about half of the teams you faced in the late game had at least one demon that reflected physical (loving Murmurs) but that is a lot less common in 2. There is still only enough skills to field one physical character at a time (St or Null phys are nearly ubiquitous on the last two days so pierce is required) but you have so many characters that you'll have plenty of options. I highly recommend you get your agility into the low to mid 20's even if that means delaying 40 strength. Multi-Strike with high agility does way more damage than Hassohappa and the multiple hits are good for cutting through Tetrakarns and Wall as long as you have Reflect Phys set.

ImpAtom posted:This isn't entirely true, actually. In addition to Pierce, you can also get access to Pierce+ (A team skill that gives everyone Pierce) and Almighty Hit (physical attack with an Almighty property) and Piercing Hit (Physical attack that pierces defenses.) You can actually field multiple physical characters without suffering a large loss. A character with Pierce + 2 demons with Pierce + Rage Soul is a pretty hilarious combination Oh ok, I didn't know that. I never ran into Almighty Hit or Pierce+ when I did Ronaldo's ending.

Alteisen posted:You know the biggest thing I'm noticing in DS2 is that the enemies seem buffed. I'm pretty sure that Vitality applies to both physical and magic defense rather than it being split between Vitality and Magic like the first game. Other than that I haven't really noticed a difference in damage.

The PSP version is faster than the original but it's still so goddamn slow and there's random encounters every five steps and the final dungeon is just goes on forever and it's not difficult at all and... I love the plot and characters of P2 to death but I really dislike the gameplay. Nocturne for life.

Kraven Moorhed posted:Edit: For content, I just NG+ed on DS2. Brought a Dual Shadow/Megidoalan Loki over to populate my fusion pool, though right now I'm having some fun doing 3k+ damage to Kobolds. What's the easiest goal to go for in my second playthrough? I befriended almost everyone (save for Io, Anguished One, and Ronaldo) last time and went for Yamato's rear end in a top hat utopia ending. I'd like to net in a shitton of points so I can make my third playthrough really interesting. No free battles is pretty easy to do as long as you removed scaling experience. Keep an eye out for optional fights that are labeled things like "The Necromancer" or "Lord of the Flies" as those are worth decent amounts of points but they're pretty difficult. Other than that, max fate with anyone you didn't on the last playthrough an get a different ending.

^^Jungo is a great Rage Soul, Attack All and Ultimate Hit user but you kind of have to build his entire team around that and Hinako will still outdamage him with Multi-Strike against enemies that don't reflect Physical. Probably the biggest change between DS1 and 2 was the removal of the speed stat. In DS1 all demon led teams had a speed of 35-45 while the slowest leaders you could use had a speed of 50. That's why enemies in 2 take so many more turns. It certainly makes the game harder and honestly, I'll take the possibility of a character getting locked down over escort missions.

KataraniSword posted:The slowdown isn't as much the issue - the fact that Chaos Wave reduces your movement range by 1 is more the reason that Dragons are typically better than Viles. In DS1, viles are probably better since they have better stats and higher level demons for the end game and the same adjusted range (3 move plus 3 range vs move plus 2 range). In 2, Evil Flow is just plain better than Chaos Breath so dragons are the better option.

Nate RFB posted:Sadly Yosuke is one of the best all-around characters for combat. Has good physical and magical stats, fastest character, a decent party-wide buff, and even a good single-person heal spell. On the other hand, he has some of the lowest damage output in the game, the worst buff, and Diarama is worse than just using items for single-target healing.

Nate RFB posted:Lowest? Outside of the MC and Yukiko, I don't think anyone hits harder spell-wise than Yosuke (he even gets a nice Physical too, albeit with no Power Charge). There's basically no reason to not clean up every random battle with Magarudyne if no one is immune to Wind, and most endgame enemies weren't. Against trash, damage dealt with spells barely matters since most enemies will go down with an all out attack. Against bosses, Yosuke is only a little bit better than Naoto and Teddie damage-wise and significantly worse than Kanji, Chie and Yukiko. Masukukaja is probably a waste of a turn to cast. This isn't Nocturne, where bosses have 2-4 actions, a miss removes 3 of them and it lasts until the boss uses Dekaja. Boosting accuracy/evasion relies way to heavily on being lucky and even in the best case scenario you might gain a turn or two by not needing to heal over the course of the entire fight.

DeathBySpoon posted:Man, that ending. Just finished P3P again, on Hard for the first time. Going to do a NG+ run- how hard is it to max every S-Link on a second cycle without a guide? I figure not having to grind up my social stats will make it a lot easier. Should I still follow one or will I have more than enough time to figure it out on my own? If you have maxed social stats and make sure to use a matching persona it's not too difficult to do.

Cake Attack posted:Alright, I've been putting most of my points into strength, guess I'll just stick with that. I doubt luck is worth much, but is it worth having many points in agility? You'll need some agility for accuracy but it should still be a pretty distant 3rd best stat after your primary offensive stat and vitality.

Gwyrgyn Blood posted:I know people always say to do that since it's a pretty low effort thing to do, but it seriously is the absolute worst reward you could expect to get from a game-long quest. It's pretty much completely worthless by the time you get it. How is a free level 80 demon with straight 30 stats and a good skillset completely worthless? Sure, it has no real resistances but no weaknesses either, and most of the later bosses spam almighty attacks anyway so resistances are less valuable late game.

Ibram Gaunt posted:Not to mention unlike, say P4 the stuff that happened in FATE events actually had a minor (and sometimes major) impact on other scenes. I've played the game several times and I have never seen Fate events even get mentioned outside of the end of day emails and the joining scenes on the last day. I don't think characters that aren't guaranteed even have important lines on the last game ending paths.

King of Solomon posted:Let me tell you about the final form of the final boss. See, the final boss has three sections: the core that you need to kill to win and its arms. Its left arm (on the right side of the map) summons demons. Its left arm can hit you from any panel on the map with Multi-Strike and has Pierce. If you don't repel phys or have an absolute shitload of HP, you are dead. This is the most extreme form of the thing every major boss in the game has. The physical arm doesn't have pierce. Only the core has pierce and the core can be blitzed down in two actions with awakened holy dances or multi-strikers or any number of things. As long as you have one or two teams immune to physical you'll be fine.
