Mailer posted:I never healed, but I also didn't scour the overworld beforehand for loose fragments, so I was (at least on my generated run) at zero by the end and had only missed a single two-fragment chest. The two 3s I opened were both weapons, Poison Bow for Yukari and... some sword for me. I'm not sure if the breakable statue things containing fragments respawn randomly like the others, but with how many repeats I did I suspect not. They do, I found a fresh random one in a subsequent reclear. They just seem very rare. I got one in my first real Tartarus run and when I came back to finish the highest floor I went back to lower floors to burn off the rest of my sp loot hunting and ran into another shard breakable container Sloober fucked around with this message at 05:13 on Feb 3, 2024 |

I played through most of the weekend because I didn't have anything else to do, genuinely very much enjoyed the qol stuff, especially the cell phone emails because I will never memorize anybody schedules. I finished the beach thing and honestly, the last encounter was kind of funny because of what they turned it into. Bits of it have come back to me so I have caught some of the writing changes

Clarste posted:I don't know if the arcade is better, but I ate hamburgers every night and I'm at 5/6 in every social stat at the beginning of summer break. looking around online it looks like 2 notes can be either 2 or 3 points of a stat, so i assume the arcade is 3 but well, you know what they say about assuming. i think the only stat this distinguishment matters with is academics since it takes so much more than the other two stats and the extra point can add up by the time you're maxed out (a post i found says courage is 80 max, charm 100 to max, and academics is 230) As a reminder dont forget to go to the school nurse the day after going to tartarus for the free/timeless courage point Lunar Suite posted:e: where's the Reaper to kick my poo poo in for loving about his tower? well he's hanging around higher in the tower Ibram Gaunt posted:I like that you can buy darkweb URLs at the club now that tell you illegal things like "the vending machine display is broken" little dumb things for small benefits ftw. i need more 4pacs Sloober fucked around with this message at 14:06 on Feb 5, 2024 |

Adrianics posted:Absolutely loving P3R so far, am about four hours in. New presentation, new music, new style, new VAs and new/revamped music are all fire. I wish shifting came with bonuses like baton pass did but love the presentation of it anyway. i pretty much just open 2-shard chests since boots and accessories come out of them, and thats where you find the poo poo like mages mark. Sometimes i open the 3 stars on miniboss levels b/c the gear out of them sometimes pops up on elizabeth requests, but i also try to keep like 20 shards minimum and dont always open chests on subsequent block clears, but that's mostly a me thing since "i cleared it once i'm not going to need this stuff anymore and i can buy better stuff after the full moon". I just got koromaru and boy he's very strong with both the fire/dark damage options and its so much nicer to have another dark source than the MC. And my god the temperance major arcana card is really loving good (maybe it's a different one but there's one that gives you a 2nd shuffle pick. insane). And i kind of like how the MC gets theurgies from having random sets of personas created since its a nice way to get me to fuse more than i usually do Sloober fucked around with this message at 15:41 on Feb 6, 2024 |

HaB posted:So uh... following a guide sounds really annoying, but i would hazard if you're having issues getting personas to drop you may want to simply fuse them instead of spending a really long time on a tart grind, you can look up formulas for making them. and yeah, shards are not common in tartarus. i've gotten maybe 10 and i'm quite a bit farther. If your guide is 100% including personas you're gonna have to fuse for the vast majority of them anyway e. i just read an article comment about how someone was upset 'western localizers' ruined the story in P3R only to find out they were specifically upset that the finale of the beach scene got changed Sloober fucked around with this message at 13:53 on Feb 7, 2024 |

It's really fun; you don't need to see all the stuff. subsequent playthroughs are much easier in the persona remakes because NG+ lets you keep your social stats which frees up a significant amount of time and lets you unlock some links far earlier

with how rare SP stuff is i feel like part of the struggles some people have is being unwilling to use SP recovery items, esp. earlier on, ive been significanly more liberal with item use this time around and honestly the game is just way easier w/ it fwiw later soul drops start appearing in destructibles relatively semi-commonly, also it has always seemed like the next dungeon section after you get a companion is tailored to make that companion kick rear end. oh you just got a fire/dark dog, well , everything is weak to fire or dark (mostly dark) now. I'm enjoying the monad door stuff as another little side challenge, altho the 2nd 'monad dungeon' has some real dicks in it

Ytlaya posted:What's everyone's favorite -sona? Siegfried but only because I accident him into being good. Mine now has crit boost, crit amp, slash amp, auto-crit buff, death bound and brave blade and he clears most fights with one deathbound unless they're slash immune. He's like 80 with 90 strength or whatever and enough agi to go first. Mothman comes in second because of the juxtaposition of his silly facial expression and his little phrase being WHO AM I slapped over it in the persona selection screen. Also don't sleep on software because uhh your sneak attack ambush gets , shall we say, really good. Now that I'm nearing the end it's very funny to cross the devil major arcana card and a dark level because it works on Twilight shard destructibles.

it can be pretty funny to look through personas and see what little phrase is over them Stux posted:idk she just keeps buffing me. i basically only get the sp one when i dont even need/want it at like half sp after ive used some items and have nearly finished a block lol i've tried a variety of ways like full health etc but it's party heat riser most of the time, honestly my sp problems have stopped since i mostly do physical in fights, and yukaris extra abilities can get heals down to 25% cost so yeah 5 sp diarahan. Shuffles arent as common but fights end so easily and quickly that i can brute force it eventually. im getting towards the end now and i've never used a clock, typically i just trade out party members. Twilight shards are common enough that i generally have plenty to open chests, plus that's how you get the leveling clocks. i've got enough personas with life aid and poo poo that the MC has endless SP the items you can make from persona items are extremely strong towards endgame and can have some rather unique properties (ignore resistance, for example) so if a persona has a unique drop item that's not just a soul driblet or something it's worth getting them. i keep a bunch of growth skill cards on hand so i dont have to think about it and can just slap that on one Sloober fucked around with this message at 13:56 on Feb 12, 2024 |

Junpei posted:do you think that Reload's new battle mechanics like non-skill-list passives and Theurgy, and probably more in Metaphor, are being used to seed ground/test things out for shake-ups in Persona 6/SMT 6/etc? they already had nonskill list passives in P4/5 with the party social links giving benefits in combat. i dunno if it adds a whole lot of variety, the theurgy stuff is interesting but also just a 'i would be mostly useless in this combat otherwise' feel to me, or 'i dont want to figure out what element works on this golden hand' related i have like 6 theurgies on the MC and so far the most useful was the pyrojack/jack frost almighty/high knockdown one b/c you can get it pretty early, and another that uses siegfried/uhh guy that is growing out of a rock that is a group massive slash damage since it, apparently, benefits from having slash amp on your active persona. it does like 3k for me

finished it last night in sort of a rush since i was itching to just complete it overall i can't say i could tell you what's different between it and p3p & p3fes beyond the obvious graphical stuff as it has been too long since i really played. i beat nyx fairly easily with just brave blading him to death outside of the one phase that had phys. resistance, which mitsuru just diamond dusted through in one hit. the game suffers a bit from being too long for me - i think that's sort of a hazard of just getting way too powerful towards the end, and at least in this one, the lack of really anything to do in january for the first 1/3rd of it since the only links available are the night time ones and sometimes star. i still enjoyed most of it, i liked how the blocks got revised to all be different in ways other than whatever texture was slapped on them, altho the funky block felt like i was like 8 years old in chuck e cheese back in the days of yore. I felt like there was a clear disparity between the usefulness of major arcanas, with devil and the +draws being clear winners. this is fine, they do not all have to be super powered, honestly, the only must-get one to me felt like devil since you nearly double the drop resources from monsters and you double them from destructibles. (i got a dark floor and got like 20 twilight shards). i didn't max every social link since i dont follow guides and simply do not care if i do or not. I got most of the bonus stuff for characters, some of them are forgettable bonuses, some of them are quite good (junpei getting +crit and + crit damage, for example) and some of them are forgettable enough that i dont remember what they are. koromaru's was lowkey useful for dealing with golden hands and their dodgyness earlier in the game Sloober fucked around with this message at 19:24 on Feb 15, 2024 |

Arist posted:See, that's interesting to me, because even just from FES Junpei is one of the most compelling party members in the series. He's often kind of lovely and jealous, obviously, but the Chidori stuff was legit probably the strongest material in the game to me. He's wrong a lot, but there's a clear compassion behind it, and he has a clear perspective that even after his second awakening continues to inform his character. the only guys i didn't really care for at all was akihiko and ken mostly because akihiko felt kind of bland and something about ken just really annoyed me. but that's me, the type of Gamer that finds a character annoying just once or twice and then benches them
