There are technically a few different bad endings and some are worse than others. But you'd only get the worst one if you are really stupid. And Susano-o is weak to Electricity now? Lame.

precision posted:P4 on Normal was really easy to me, it just depends how familiar you are with JRPG Bullshit I guess. I mean, it was easy in a satisfying way, the hardest thing was remembering what all the moon language names for skills mean when there are times you can't check (ie, while Fusing). What the gently caress is a Rakakuja?! Couldn't you press square for that? I'm pretty sure they never locked you out of checking what skills do, even if the descriptions sometimes aren't that helpful. (Enervate is "Enervates 1 foe." Yeah, thanks Atlus.) Pollyanna posted:Gag dammit, what level am I supposed to be when I'm about to fight Shadow Yukiko? Level 13 or so? I don't remember P4 being this difficult - oh wait I'm playing on hard. I actually recommend grinding a few more levels. Even at level 16 or so, that boss is probably the hardest in the game for where you are and what you have available.

They might get a bit prissy if you go out with someone else on a Sunday.  It can end up wasting your chance in getting a few more points toward a link, though it doesn't interrupt an actual S Link event.

Superstring posted:Is Izanagi still a bleh persona? Kinda sad to me that you can't keep the PC's signature persona. You can't expect the thing you start with to carry you through the whole game! At least not until you see the True Ending and can fuse his souped up version in NG+. When you reach level 90 or so again. Because your level doesn't carry through to NG+. (This was in vanilla P4, by the way.)

Capsaicin posted:Oh man, the boss of the first dungeon came down to the wire, but I got it just barely with a Skull Cracker from Chie! Physical skills tend to better in boss fights since bosses usually don't have any bosses to exploit and physical skills are on average stronger than magical ones. Light physical attacks like Cleave have a base power of about 130 while Agi/Bufu/Zio/Garu are all 80. Of course, none of that information is anywhere in the game.

Dr Pepper posted:Does it still give you the option of spending time with her? Yes, it does. But whenever I can spend time with someone else who isn't going to rank up it doesn't show the same message. I remember getting something similar with Adachi until I checked in a bit later in the game. VVV It gives me the option of spending time with her. And I don't think there's an Expression requirement for the Rank 4, since the game didn't say anything about it. I probably should see what actually happens next time if I do spend time with her even if I can't advance the link. Strange Quark fucked around with this message at 05:21 on Dec 2, 2012 |

When could I conceivably beat the bonus boss in Yukiko's Castle on Hard? Rampage keeps wiping out my mid-30s leveled party. I'm thinking of just cheesing the fight with a persona with Null Phys. What's the earliest one I can get? e: Turns out spamming Tetrakarn is really effective. Eats up SP like crazy but it makes the AI do most of the work. (Even if the king never used Rampage that time.)

Treasure Hands aren't hard to find and it's pretty easy to get Megidolaon by evolving Megido through Magician cards (which I got by the third dungeon). I'm at level 68 after the fifth dungeon on Hard and I feel really overleveled.

You're basically limited by your SP since you'll likely be doing more damage with magic exploiting weaknesses. Your options are also really limited until after beating the first dungeon since you don't have much means of replenishing HP/SP beyond items. A good rule of thumb is just exit when you've run out of SP since there really isn't much need to grind in the game. Later on you can very easily clear out a dungeon in one day, if you want to maximize time for your SLinks.

Spamming Makarakarn on the November dungeon boss is ridiculously broken. The whole fight lasted maybe four or five turns. Hard really isn't living up to its name. e: Also, is there anything special I have to do to trigger the last Fox quest or can I just try fishing at the beach when it's rainy? I remember having to show a Huge Fish to the old dude at the riverbank in vanilla P4, but this time's he's not reacting to the ones I bought from Tanaka.

Use Inaba Jeweled Beetles to catch a River Guardian and show that to him to get the rod to fish in the ocean. Aha, does that mean I actually have to go get the net?

Kashiwagi gives you the Gekkou uniform costumes for acing the last exam. It makes everyone mimic a SEES pose and catchphrase and is pretty great fanservice. Anyone know who Kanji's supposed to be? I've narrowed it down between Akihiko and Shinjiro, but I've got no idea.

You can only get non-rank up events during the day. I'm guessing you don't have enough points for make it to the next rank yet, so you can either draw fortunes until you feel you'll become closer soon, or spend time with him during the day. Kanji on the other hand has the most carefully constructed texts:

I'd say go for it. He's really difficult to find sometimes (I ended giving up looking for him on the very last day at level 99) and if you wipe, you can always restart the floor. It'd be a good test to see if you can even survive a Mind Charge -> Physical Attack -> Megidolaon.
