What triggers the all-out attacks? Is it based on boost? Seems like it asks you if you want to do one if enough of your party members get boosted.

I think I just ran into this game's version of the Venomfly events. In hindsight, the sword thing was obvious. Still can't believe I made it through that. Status effects are really good in this game. Speaking of, is it like the EO games where it gets harder to inflict the same status effect on enemies over and over?

Einwand posted:Are all the FOEs as annoyingly bulky and weaknessless like the card soldiers? Though maybe killing one at level six didn't help it feeling like a giant meat sponge. FOEs are obstacles to avoid, not enemies to fight. You need to wait until much later before taking them on. Who has the automap turned on? I don't since I like drawing my own maps, but the wall radar is handy.

EO3 was probably the fastest the battle system has been. On the fastest settings you could blaze through turns within seconds if you held down A. This is much slower than any of the recent EO games.

KingEffingFrost posted:Welp, looks like "can't escape if your back is against a wall" has carried over from EO. Don't know why I thought it wouldn't have carried over, but a powered up Orobas has now been lost in the pursuit of science. Because it hasn't been a thing since EO4 and U. I'm surprised to hear it's actually back.

Are the Card Soldiers just damage sponges? I'm fighting one right now, and they don't seem all that dangerous, but it's taking a while to bring them down.

Huh, even on risky, the first boss wasn't too bad. I loved it when the card soldiers showed up because that meant free boost for everyone. And if I got lucky, an all out attack would kick in.  By the way, how good is poison? I never used it but I noticed that some of the personas could inflict it.

Do the different poison skills have different DOTs? I'm using Poisoma on Naoto, but I had to get rid of Toxic Slice to make room for Impure Reach.

You don't have to walk on tiles that force you to fight an FOE to get to. Like if they're stationary, or if they're moving in a way that makes that tile impossible to get to without fighting it.g0lbez posted:so does this game ever get remotely challenging? I'm at the fourth labyrinth on risky and just got to the fourth floor and aside from the first labyrinth guardian there's been absolutely nothing that's been able to pose any threat at all. I picked risky mode for a reason It's probably down there with EO4 as one of the easier games.

I'm really liking the third labyrinth a lot. The FOE puzzles in this game are a lot more interesting than in the EO series. I'm hoping they take a page from PQ and implement things like that in EOV.

So is Mitsuru any good? I've been using her and Tetranafoo is nice, but I'm not finding her too useful aside from that. How are you all using her? I might switch her out with Zen and Rei.

StandardVC10 posted:Okay, this door on the second level of the third dungeon is starting to piss me off. I get that the 1-2-3-4 in black and white meant something, there was some kind of clue about dice, but the puzzle provides absolutely no information about its state or what resets it. Map out the FOEs and lights and take a closer look at the map.

Level 9 is fine if you have something like Maragi or some other AOE skill. But at that point you'd have to kill an FOE to get a persona like that.

I think the 3rd labyrinth was my favorite one. The atmosphere was nice, and the puzzles were really neat. Maybe not the Cartesian plane puzzle but I really enjoyed it. I'm not really enjoying these torch puzzles in the 4th labyrinth much though.

Mitsuru's skill sounds like it's the Persona version of Ecstasy. Huge damage in exchange for releasing binds. Although it would have to do a lot of damage to justify it. Does it scale with the number of binds? It would probably make a powerful combo with that all bind skill.

Power charged myriad arrows on Kanji is filthy. I think I can use panic instead of poison now. So there was an event where Yukari complained about being too low leveled. What was that about?

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:Are there conditional drops I should be paying attention to? I think I already have some equipment that needs conditionals to make but I didn't bother with them for some reason. Most of them are just for quests and they tell you how to get those. They didn't really involve conditional drops much in this game. The only one that you don't need for a quest is poisoning a cupid in the 2nd labyrinth.

There's very little plot in the EO games. Not too much long winded dialogue either. It may be comparable to Etrian Odyssey Untold, which is EO with plot, but what I've seen, PQ is more long winded than that.

projecthalaxy posted:Is there a guide somewhere that tells you which answers lead to whom? I think I can guess my way to Yosuke and Yukari, but it'd be nice to check. The way the group date cafe works, is that the first question determines the sex of your partner. Then it asks you a bunch of questions where one answer will determine your partner. If you answer one of those questions "right" the rest of the questions will be filler questions that doesn't influence your choices in any way. If you answer them all "wrong" the last question will outright ask you who's your type.

It's also weird that instant death counted as a status ailment in this game. That wasn't a thing in the EO series since 3. Impure Reach + Light/Dark wouldn't have been so ridiculously broken if it wasn't. Although it probably didn't help that lots of things were weak to those.

I think what you're supposed to do with Teddie is to proc crits with physicals, and then use his magic spells for free. Except that magic sucks in this game.

I really liked the 3rd labyrinth and I was expecting an even better labyrinth for the next one. Nope, it was a huge letdown. The torch puzzles were not as good as how the 3rd one handled things.theshim posted:It's really the fourth floor that overstayed its welcome, but yeah. Still not as bad as EO4's third land though!
