Just bought the game, it is downloading now. Is there anything in particular I should no going in, if I haven't played P4 before (and only like 10 days of P3P)?

Abu Dave posted:Jesus 1 hour and 20 minutes of story exposition before your first battle. But man oh man was that great exposition. Wait, seriously? I'm almost done downloading the game, and there's an hour and twenty minutes before the gameplay kicks in? I'm all for a good story, but that seems a bit excessive for a portable game.

Happy Blue Cow posted:I'm loving how the more critics scores are added, the higher P4G's metacritic gets. Definitely seconding this. I started playing yesterday and have 8 hours into it already. Also haha, holy poo poo its universally acclaimed! Not a single review labelled as "mixed" or "poor". That's pretty drat unusual.

Dr. Ohnoman posted:Good to see the bonus boss of the first dungeon is still as ridiculous as ever. I was thinking they might have toned him down for P4G because you need to be like lvl 25 (which isn't even remotely feasible after just the first dungeon, unless you're the world's biggest grinding sperglord) to beat him in vanilla P4, but that's not the case. A single Rampage is still more or less a total party kill. oh, well that explains that. I thought I'd grind some levels after the first dungeon and then wtf I'm dead.

I keep hearing about the Magician card thing, but I haven't seen one yet. I'm in the 3rd dungeon if it matters, and playing on Easy since this is my first Persona game

Dr Pepper posted:Best part of Selectable skills? The Growth line of skills becomes really easy to pass around. Any advice on which skills synergize/areimportant to have? Or just a good primer on the skills in general? Having never played these games before, I'm afraid i'll gimp myself  Like, I just fused some stuff to make something called a Power, and it seems badass, but I fell like I dont have enough skills for him...it..w/e I just beat the 3rd dungeon

So, uh, I'm about 27hrs in and I'm at the Void Quest dungeon. I haven't beaten it, but I just got to level 38 so I could fuse Black Frost. Am I going too quickly? I'm playing on Easy because this is the first Persona game I've played...

Here there be endgame spoilers: As someone who didn't play P4 on PS2, I assumed that Marie being a reflection/part of Izanami was logical, and romancing her being "canon", because the impression I got was that the Protagonist was a similar reflection of Izanagi. Hence why your first Persona is Izanagi, and your final one is its "true" form. Not that "star cross'd lovers across time" isn't cheesy, but its not that bad.

ThisIsACoolGuy posted:Thanks a million, there's a lot of songs in the game where I've went "Yeah I like that!" but this is the first one to really grab and impress me. It caught me totally off guard. Oh wow, I was just thinking how the one fault I can find with this game is that the dungeon soundtrack gets really repetitive, but drat thats a good song.

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:It doesn't actually double the statgain, just doubles in very specific circumstances. The Knowledge one makes you get 2 knowledge boosts when you study at home instead of 1, but you still get 1 for everything else. its any studying, not just at home. I got 2 each time I studied in the library with one of the team members

So, yeah, I just spent about 3 hours grinding levels in order to get to level 93 to fuse Lucifer only to find out you don't keep your personas or level in NG+. Seeing as I'm at Jan 27 I'll make use of it for...not much longer...considering the time it took to get it... Also, question regarding Aeon SL, at what point do I get access to Marie's dungeon? I maxed her link out and the woman in blue has been "searching" for like a month...do I need to do something specific at this point?

Ibram Gaunt posted:You keep your compendium and money (and lose the level restriction) so you still can party down in NG+ with your OP personas. Awesome! I knew about the money and Compendium, but when I read that you lose your level, I was like "I'm sure as hell not grinding back to level 93".

Gamma Nerd posted:You can't fuse personas above your level in NG+ but you can summon and use them. So when you're ready to kill Izanami go sell all your poo poo you don't need. Yeah, so by summon you mean from the book, right? Basically, I didn't waste hours of grinding right?

Jet Ready Go posted:Yeah don't let the talk confuse you. Alright. Cool. Got it. Whats the best way to grind money btw? I've just been running Magatsu Inaba/Magatsu Mandala over and over and over. Now that I completed my fusion goal, I guess I don't need to buy as much stuff. I also want to fight The Reaper again, but the last time I triggered the rattling chains, I ran out of chests and went to the next floor only for the sound to stop...

Beat the game for all intents and purposes...thoughts: So Marie's dungeon was kinda bullshit. Not hard, at least not in a "this requires skill" sort of way, just bullshit. I had Lucifer with Victory Cry, so MC always had full HP and half SP but everyone else was screwed. Oh! an item that restores a WHOPPING 12SP per equipees turn! When I kill most things in one turn! With abilities that cost 12-38SP! (except MC who has Spell Master  ) Its absurd. It also took all my money when it took my items, and I never got it back. So I guess I'll be grinding money in the True Ending Dungeon to take into NG+?That being said, I liked the actual plot stuff in there. Marie is an odd character though. I never played P4 on PS2, but I can pretty easily see spots where the Devs added her after the fact, but I can also see spots where it really seems like they intended her to be the headcanon romantic partner. Speaking of romances... So I knew that Valentine's Day would be interesting because in my speeding through dialog I ended up romancing both Marie and Yukiko. I knew that VD could involve only one, and I had intended to do Marie my first run, so I declined Yukikio. That was an interesting conversation. But then Marie didn't show up, at first. MC spent Valentines moping in the Junes food court with Yosuke and Kanjii. Marie was hanging out outside MC's house and they had their event, but based on the Junes scene, could I have hung out with Yukiko too? Eh, w/e. All in all, a whole lot of fun. I look forward to turning on NG+, cranking up the XP and Cash (you can do that in NG+ right?) and blasting through everything so I can max all the links. Do S.Links carry over to NG+?

Strange Quark posted:No, you should get all of your stuff and money back after the dungeon. Or even when you leave it via the TV. I got my items/equipment back for sure, but I definitely had 0¥ coming out of the dungeon. Hell, I've only got like 1200¥ now. It's not a huge deal, I'll grind cash in this dungeon before I wrap up, at least enough to summon some absurd Persona at the beginning of the game. I'm kinda considering focusing on Izanagi for NG+ though. Shame you can't create Izanagi no Okami until the end of NG+ or whatever.

BreakAtmo posted:Excellent, thanks. I need to leave so I can fuse some Personas and buy better gear to fight Shadow Mitsuo. He wiped me last time before I could even remove half his heath (and I was nearly out of SP by that point) but now Yu's gone from Lv40 to Lv48, with Chie, Yukiko and Teddie along for the ride. I really need to go grind with Yosuke after this is done, he's only Lv29. Just a heads up, spoilers are tagged code:Annath fucked around with this message at 15:45 on Apr 3, 2013 |

I've been trying to motivate myself to do some NG+, and I now have that motivation. In my first playthrough, I didn't do any of the club SLinks! Also, to get the trophy, do you have to max all SLinks in one go, or is it cumulative?

Nate RFB posted:That's why I said this is more of a problem with the S. Link system itself. But all things being equal the party S. Links are "better" in that they involve characters who are actually important to the main story. You feel good helping Kanji out because he is your friend and in general involved in your life. Never meeting the mother whose name escapes me wouldn't change anything. Yeah, that's what I did on my first run. So I am enjoying meeting all these other folks.

I just wish P4A was available on the Vita. I'm not buying a PS3 or 360 this late in the game, and I really don't do much non-portable gaming nowadays anyway...

ApplesandOranges posted:I think Kanji's radical change at the end of P4G really hurt the writers since they now have to plan everything P4 related in that one year if they want to keep Kanji's traditional look. You're talking about this image, right? (spoiler I guess...?) http://i.imgur.com/0IEcU8M.jpg I actually really like how all the characters turned out. Marie and Kanjii both matured, Yukiko looks more managerial without looking like an old painting, and Chie, well Chie is still Chie...
