I fired this up for a bit just now. I was prepared to hate it, but... game seems good so far? I like the chat logs on the Gamepad. Very cute touch and a nice bit of characterization. My main worry about the game turned out to be groundless: you CAN, in fact, turn off the voice acting entirely. I don't yet know if that also disables the singing, but if turning of the voices also turns off the J-pop... I admit I will not be too upset.

Just finished the first "real" dungeon (not counting the prologue one), and I'm liking this game. Just figured out how to change Tsubasa out of her... unfortunate battle outfit. It's a neat design but... couldn't they have given her a full skirt, at least? Yeesh. Question: is there any way to tell if buffs/debuffs are still in effect? Or do I just have to count the rounds?

CrashCat posted:that was a very brave thing to admit on these forums Hell, I've never played a Persona either. I didn't know what SMT even was until SMTIV came around, and even then the only reason I checked it out was because of that eShop discount deal with Fire Emblem Awakening. I haven't owned a Sony system since the PS2. It's been all Nintendo all the way down. I just reached Chapter 2 myself. That's where the ~*censorship*~ happens, so I hear. Looking forward to not caring about it.

AlphaKretin posted:Why did nobody tells me his thread existed. I'm practically a SMT newbie myself- I've only finished one game in the series it wasn't even a Persona game, and I'm not having any issues. The thing that might trip you up, if you're like me and were used to Final Fantasy systems, is names for spells. You'll have to keep looking at their effects before you memorize which is which. Fortunately the tool-tip is right there, and you can always check any skill you have equipped on the gamepad screen any time. Also, the naming convention of elemental spells is a bit odd. Zio is the base lightning spell, for example. The multitarget version is Mazio, more powerful single-target is Ziodyne, and finally the more powerful multitarget version is Maziodyne. However, multitarget spells can easily backfire once enemies start absorbing or even reflecting elemental spells, so you might want to stick with the single target versions. They can also do that to your base physical attack so WATCH OUT. Keep a variety of elemental spells and session skills that play off them. Always target weaknesses if you can, and buff, debuff, and status moves are actually useful in this series so definitely use them! Lastly, save early, save often. The random trash mobs CAN kick your rear end if you let them. Don't get cocky!

Len posted:Just started chapter 2. So far I really like it but the voice track is grating just because I don't understand anything being said so it sounds like gibberish. Do what I did and turn the voices off entirely. Doesn't do anything for the jiggling boobs in your face, sadly.

Sakurazuka posted:Can some people seriously not stand to hear a language they can't understand? I just don't find it pleasant to listen to. In particular I don't like the high, screechy voices that the lady voice actresses do. It's not a big deal, though, I can just turn off the voices and get on with my life. I'm glad the game has that option.

Are those the spells that affect accuracy and dodge of your party/the enemy party? The spell names still don't stick in my head well and checking the SMT wiki was supremely unhelpful.They didn't have a list of what spell does what, as far as I could tell.

Big Coffin Hunter posted:For sure. Knew it was closer to SMT than Fire Emblem but I'll put this in the "hard maybe probably yes" category If you're looking for a good first SMT game to try, Devil Survivor: Overclocked might be up your alley. It's a strategy RPG: you move your units around on a grid and engage enemies in a standard JRPG turn-based affair. It has all the usual SMT staples like taming and fusing demons and all that. Either that or SMT IV are good first entries to the series. I've played both, but I've only finished Devil Survivor so far. It has multiple endings, too, if you're into that. Good replay value. It also goes on sale pretty frequently for ~$15. Hard to go wrong at that price!

I was just coming in here to ask how to advance that quest! I got the message about crepes, then... nothing. Where do I go to trigger the next part? The only crepe place I know is in Harajuku and nothing popped up when I went there.

I got it! I hadn't talked to the one guy hiding behind Hee Ho Mart. He blends in with the building... Tsubasa and Itsuki are both such dorks. I love it.

MohShuvuu posted:This only happens if you game over on easy mode though Yeah, I'm playing on normal and the Savage Encounter in the Ch. 3 dungeon has been kicking my rear end, repeatedly, and the game hasn't made a peep about lowering the difficulty. I've only beaten the encounter once out of the half dozen or so times it has popped up. It's the one with the wyverns and armored knights. It's a right bastard. I think my one victory was a fluke. Oh well. I save as soon as I see them pop up, so I lose all of zero progress when they inevitably grind my rear end into paste.

What do you do with Detritus? I've seen folks talking about it, and I've picked up some myself, but haven't seen anything to do with them. Tsubasa's last side story is sure gonna be a thing. I attempted it when I was nowhere near the recommended level and it predictably kicked my rear end. I was able to cheese Kiria's third side story (Attack Mirror, whee!) despite being underlevelled so I thought I'd at least try. I ought to try it again, probably. The party is starting to hit 40 now and on my first attempt they were barely hitting 35.

I found the Arena! The Intermediate fight was kicking my rear end until I hit upon a solution: just throw Mamori at it! (Mamori is the best.) Anyone have a handy list of where to find all the Mirages to add to the Arena? I found the ones in the first two dungeons, and the ghost in the top hat. I thought the troll in the third dungeon would want to join up, but he just complained about the cameras, and screw scouring that lovely dungeon end to end to find another Mirage there, assuming there even is one. Oh and thanks to everyone who posted tips about passive skills. I've been holding onto those stat-boosting skills waaaaaaaay too long. Time to go re-learn some skills!

Just got the last party member!  I have an entirely baseless speculation regarding him: He's Marth, if for no other reason than I think it'd be hilarious. Don't want a confirm/deny here, it just suddenly occurred to me.

Arrrthritis posted:So is the game good? Should I buy it now or wait for a price drop? It's great, and if the lack of English dub bothers you, you can turn the voice acting completely off. This does not affect cutscenes or singing.

SweetBro posted:As someone who loved the absolute poo poo out of Persona 4 and the earlier FE games, is it worth buying a Wii U just for this (and possibly Bayonetta)? Don't buy a console for only one (or two) games. You buy a console for a bunch of cool and fun games. Which the Wii U has. So yes, buy one.

Yes, you would. I've never touched a Persona and I enjoy the hell out of this game. If you like Persona, you'll love it!
