Bought the game with a Vita a couple weeks ago and just beat it, great game. Wish that characters you didn't bring into a dungeon still got experience though. That and the Hollow Forest being bad are the only complaints I have.Photex posted:I guess I did too much high school simming I've beat the sub boss and made it to floor 8 but I guess I should back track to around floor 3 and grind I only ever went into the TV once per dungeon and it worked out fine. Even if you're underleveled you'll be fine if you're exploiting weaknesses.

Honestly I vastly prefer the way P3P handles getting around the world. There's a lot of pointless running around and getting lost early on otherwise (god I wish SMT4 just had a menu that warped you from dungeon to dungeon). There's really not much reason to get a different version of the game, there's an LP of The Answer if you want that. Is Persona 4 Arena worth the effort? I got it on sale and beat the main character's first act and started on Yukiko's and thus far I am not impressed. The fighting isn't particularly fun and so far the story beats for the characters seem to be the same (beat up Yosuke -> meet council president -> etc).

Alright, thanks guys. I'll try sticking with it a little longer and switching to that LP if it doesn't get interesting enough.

While I guess having your party members act on their own makes them seem more like individuals than extensions of your will, it's also really frustrating 90% of the time and makes them all seem like total morons. There's a fair bit of being stupid in Persona 4 specifically as it is, they really don't need the help. I wish it defaulted to you having direct control because I always forgot to change them manually the first time I used a new character, and they always disappointed me with what their AI chose to do.

Junpei has the best character arc in the series, I think the way P3 handled character growth through the actual story worked better than "and now I am solved" in P4 when you beat up the shadows. Yeah, they still grow as characters through the s-links but so do the P3 characters. I think P3 has a stronger story over all but P4 has a better cast over all. Female MC and Koromaru are the best though.

I don't think that makes Yosuke a better character, though he's definitely more immediately likable. Junpei grows as a person through the game, it's paced better than the whole shadow business in 4. The P3 characters grow throughout the entire game, rather than just in the dungeon you recruit them in.

Ineffiable posted:Didn't they turn around the smt 4 translation to USA in like a month? Japan gets p5 late this year so we should get this early next year and not like June '15. That'd be great, but Persona games are way more dialogue heavy than SMT4 was.

I went into each dungeon only once and focused on s-links and getting my social stats up. You need max courage and knowledge to initiate the final party member's s-link and a lot of dialog options are gated by them as well.

The two s-links they added for Golden (Jester and Aeon) add some story stuff. Aeon is the only one that affects dungeons and that's just whether you can get in the bonus dungeon. The only thing any other link gates is access to another link (Devil unlocks Death and I think Strength unlocks Moon, for example). Other than that though just make sure you focus on your party members because their s-link level affects their persona significantly. Also the final party member requires you to have max Courage and Knowledge to start. edit: oh and for the love of god, do the Hermit s-link. You won't need it by the end of the game but you'll hate yourself for a long time if you don't. Manatee Cannon fucked around with this message at 17:51 on Apr 11, 2014 |

You get that arcana's ultimate persona unlocked for fusion. No skills are unlocked through links in P3 and their personas change as part of the plot rather than you hitting rank 10 because you only ever get to talk to the girls outside of playing P3P as a girl. She gets the guys, don't remember whether you still talk to Yukari/Mitsuru/Fuuka or whether they're also replaced with new characters.

Chie's great (Golden VA supremacy though). I felt bad for Yosuke too at first, but he earns it by the end of a school event later don't you worry.

You mean Yukiko? She's weak to ice, Prince Charming is weak to lightning. Chie has Bufu, you can get Zio and Bufu on your main character. Yosuke can throw healing items when needed since he can't hit anyone's weakness. There are no mid dungeon save points. But if you leave the dungeon you can resume from the last floor you completed.

Do what you're doing, the game will tell you when a new dungeon opens up. Personally, I'd focus on s-links and getting your personality stats up and only go into the TV World once per rescue. Get everything you need to done in one go to have more time to do s-links.

Nope, gotta do Margaret's stuff all over. Just make sure you kill all the optional bosses as they appear and get her s-link finished immediately. You can just summon that poo poo in from the compendium and have the link done the second you have access to the Velvet Room.

Kind weird though how the girls get such amazing rank 11 skills and the guys get awful ones. Yosuke's got the best of the three but how does mediarama+masukukaja compare to poo poo like full party Heat Riser and complete damage nullification?

Nate RFB posted:For one thing, you can use Youthful Wind more than once per battle. You can use Dragon Hustle three or four times with the Chakra Ring and Shield of Justice twice without.

Gonna have to disagree on old Chie. New Teddie's about on par with old Teddie so it's more a matter of which you heard first, but old Chie is for real not a good voice actress.

Define benefit. I kinda liked Marie the first time I played. Second time I was pretty done with her but I still don't hate her, she's just boring and doesn't fit in the game well. It's not even her character, she's not more anime or different from the rest of the cast. They just didn't do a good job making it feel like a natural inclusion. She does have that one good line at the end of her s-link though.

The SP gimmick might as well not even exist, you'll never actually have any issues with running out since so long as you have light/dark spells or use Naoto you'll end every fight before the enemies get to move. And if you have Victory Cry early even that mild concern is thrown out the window. I didn't like the fact that the way the dungeon is designed, you get almost no experience, zero money, and none of the equipment you get can be used elsewhere. The gently caress is the point?
