The time dilation stuff gets explicitly explained in the Hunter database notes. They're worth reading!

Maitreya gave me a newfound respect for attack items. Bosses that resist phys suck rear end.

Maitreya was a joke because he's weak to gun.

So, am I missing something, or are the results of Demon Fusion Lite completely set in stone for each combination? I'm trying to pass on Medusa's unique skill with it, but every battle I try to fuse the skill list is exactly the same. It was the same before with King Frost, but I didn't worry as much because his skill wasn't that great anyways. Seems kind of useless to me if it's not randomized . . . it used to be randomized like fusion in previous games, right?

Why not just fuse normally? Unique demon skills are usually not inheritable anyway.

I've been pretty much directly on level with the most recent story place all game, but I'm only on 3/8 and I abuse Estoma a lot.
And let me tell you, it is INFURIATING the way all the Partners complain about the enemies being too strong when you're usually clearing them out in one turn.

I have to say I don't remember this happening at all, and I've spent the whole game at or a few levels below the demons.

Do the drain skills use any particular stat to get better? I only have 12 Ma but I just got Energy Drain and at level 39 I can pull about 65-70 HP and 20ish MP, which seems really good already.

My magic is about 45 and it does like high 50s MP recovery.

On the Friendship route, it powers him up in the last dungeon in terms of how he helps you out. Like the way he will extort extra cash from demons when you do.

Very nice.

What exactly does Advanced Fundraise do? Does it slowly increase the Macca you extort from when you take it throughout the entire game, or does it ramp up the money you get from a single demon during a single negotiation? Is it worth it? I'm happy to have Fundraise & + but 40 app points is a lot.

It increases how much you get with successive successful fundraise attempts in one session. So it's nice to have around when you have 3 guaranteed pulls with bind, but it's not a huge increase.

where is west shinjuku park? is it on the world map or is it part of the shinjuku zone?

On the world map, slightly west of where you go into Shinjuku.

is it worth throwing in a critical eye between charged physical attacks? the damage boost isn't huge, but on the other hand if you use it once and smirk it can become self-sustaining. i dunno, has anyone bothered to compare their damage output?

iirc, my charged + crit Grand Tack does like 2000 damage, while a charge alone with only do like 1400. But my luck's pretty high and I get a lot of natural crits anyway so...

With the smirk off the crit, you get a second chance to charge, so Charge + Critical Eye + attack takes an average of 2.5 turns. So average charge + crit damage per turn is 800, while charge only is 700.

Man, I wouldn't mind the final dungeon half as much if it weren't for regular encounter Metatron and especially his regular horde encounter with reinforcements friends.

The final dungeon is so big and empty that it takes forever to get anywhere, and rip if you end up in a dead end because your Magic wasn't high enough to pass through the one gate forward.

It looks like they're optional areas for shortcuts or loot, because I got through the dungeon without them. I can't say for sure because that maze isn't easy to get your head around.

Oooookay. What the heck am I supposed to do about Izanami? She just keeps Diarahan-ing. Is it supposed to just be a race?

You need to do enough damage to take her out in one round basically, or two if you time it with your assist gauge. Buff like crazy, in other words.

The dungeon isn't too bad without a map if you just keep going where you haven't before. Backtracking just takes about as much time as a star's lifespan.

what's the deal with flynn in the last dungeon. they made it sound like he'd be doing things to help but he's done nothing so far

He sometimes goes off and fight a dude chasing you. Sometimes he'll give you some money if you talk to him. If you use Fundraise with him around, he'll join in too and you get like 1.5x the money you usually do.

There's that combo attack you can use when the protagonist is smirking which is quite strong.

The only other big fight where the boss will smirk at will is the final one. You could get away with just having it on a demon really.
