Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth is a three way crossover between Persona 3, Persona 4, and Etrian Odyssey. It combines Etrian Odyssey’s first person dungeon crawling with a crossover story between Persona 3 and 4. Persona Q was released November 25th in America and will be released November 28th in PAL regions.

Gameplay:



Persona Q is, much like the Etrian Odyssey games, a first person dungeon crawler. Players can choose up to five characters from the casts of Persona 3 and 4 (and one original character), to explore and map the labyrinth.

At the beginning of the game, you can choose to mainly follow the cast of Persona 3 or 4. This affects the main battle theme, the story (to a degree), and which party members you have access to for the first labyrinth (the parties merge at the end of the first labyrinth).

Unique Mechanics:

Much like in Persona, hitting weaknesses is a key part of the battle system. Hitting a weakness puts the character in Boost mode for their next turn, letting them use skills for free. Getting hit will knock them out of boost, however.

Sub Personas:



Like in Persona, characters learn skills as they level. However, they can also equip a subpersona, a secondary persona that teaches them various skills, and gives them a bonus pool of HP and SP which restores after each fight.

Other important stuff:

- For the time being, Kaguya and Orpheus Telos are sub personas available as free DLC

I decided on Yu/Kanji/Koromaru/Yukari/Naoto

too many people I wanted were frontliners

Note that the one and only reason the game recommends front/back is the range of the character's weapon. It recommends Mitsuru for front line, as an example, even though there's absolutely no reason for her to be there.

i don't think that makes too much of a difference though, since most physical attackers should be in the front, and magic in the back

Like I can't just put Chie or Kanji in back

I'm all the gently caress about a new Persona game, but I've never played an EO game before. I've been reading about it, and I've got an honest question: is there some appeal to the manual map-making that I'm not understanding? Just seems like added tedium at first blush.

youll come to understand

Koromaru died and then Kanji went "You mess with fluffball, and you mess with me" and i thought this was very cute + sweet

is there something special i should be doing with persona dropped from FOEs?

they don't have many skills and sub personas don't matter statwise so most don't seem very useful

im doing the love potion quest in the second labyrinth.

i don't want to wander around aimlessly, what general area should i look in?

Cake Attack
Mar 26, 2010

thanks

also do Personas get more hp and sp as they level? i screwed up and made koromaru a persona with 8 less sp than mamudoon costs, so he's losing 8 sp a fight

Do you ever get upgrades for your item/persona storage? It's getting kind of annoying having to back out all the time to dump/fuse stuff.

In the dungeon? don't think so

in EO you'd normally be running out of MP when your inventory filled so it wasn't a big deal really

I'm lost in the third floor of the second stratum. I can't go through the locked door, but as far as i can tell i've explored the rest of the floor.

Did you know Impure Reach affected Hama and Mudo before reading the FAQ ie this thread?

that's a dumb argument

finding out that the game classifies instant death as a status effect is not super min maxing
