Man, I am getting really well acquainted with the game over screen, even in the first dungeon (I'm playing on hard). I'm stressing out over midterms, so I'm trying to get this dungeon done in two days. :\

Cannot Find Server posted:And is the new character not terrible? Her artwork doesn't really fit this game (it'd look more at home in Catherine or something) and it kinda makes me really weary of her. She's decent (if kind of pointless) but then lots of spoilers happen and she takes a huge nosedive into being terrible, sorry.

Edit: ^ Welp. poo poo.Cannot Find Server posted:How is the difficulty? I played the original on normal the first time through and found it refreshingly difficult without being total bullshit. I've read a couple people that say it's harder on normal than last time? It feels about the same. Stuff is going to be harder depending on how much you want to min/max things. The drops feel about the same as well, though I never cleared the more bullshit quests in the original. quote:And is the new character not terrible? Her artwork doesn't really fit this game (it'd look more at home in Catherine or something) and it kinda makes me really weary of her. She looks and is voiced like someone hanging out in Hot Topic. Her slink doesn't really match that, at least as far as I've seen, and it's decent enough.

If you go into the TV world on rainy days, you'll have no problem getting the drops you need. Normal seems easier than P4, mainly because you get bonus stats, bonus levels, it's easier to fuse, and some of the bosses were nerfed pretty heavily. Shadow Teddy was a complete joke, and Shadow Yukiko was a lot easier as well

Sarkozymandias posted:There was an episode of the anime that's basically what the protagonist's random social link grinding activities look like from everyone else's perspective and it's about as ridiculous as you'd think it would be. I've only seen a clip of this on youtube and it was the funniest thing I'd seen all week, no joke. So apparently going to the TV World on rainy days increases certain benefits, right? One thing I noticed it that it seems that it makes all fusions have some extra benefit.

Some shadows only appear on rainy days, and there are also more glowing shadows, which are generally ones from higher levels in the dungeon or multiples of an otherwise solo encounter, like 3 of the knights in the castle rather than just the 1 you'd normally fight. It's also preferable to go into dungeons on rainy days since you can't do most s-link poo poo on those days anyway. You should only ever be dungeon-ing or doing the Beef Bowl on rainy days.

Oh... oh my God. That scooter trip to Okina on 6/15 has to be the greatest thing in the entire game now. I don't care what else they added this is the absolute pinnacle. There are at least a half dozen points during those scenes where I just completely lost it. The voice work, jesus. "Oh so THIS is what you meant by up close and personal. I get it now." GOLD.

I looked up how to do it, and apparently you're supposed to talk to a kid at the shrine and give him food so he'll give you a bug you can then feed to the fish at Shiroku Pub, which gives you a fish hook you give to the old man, but the bug-catching kid doesn't complain about being hungry or anything like he should. Instead he just says how someone took his bug-catching net and tells me to keep an eye out for it (apparently the woman in white has it and wants a fish for it). What the hell, am I locked out of getting the fishing pole and the bug-catching net because I didn't trigger a certain conversation with an NPC earlier?

You should be able to find the net somewhere, then I guess that unlocks bug-catching for you. You just need to bring a bug to the pub, I don't think it needs to be specifically from the kid.

Welp, guess who missed that!

Schubalts posted:Is this Witch Detective book a Twilight callout or something? Girl moving to a new school, "Vampires are involved.", "...The content of this book was almost physically painful for you to read." I think so, but it was actually in the original game too. Also since Breaking Dawn Part II just came out it's still sort of relevant.

This game is really superb. It is the JRPG I've always longed for but hadn't been able to find. Are the other Personas as good, or will I inevitably be let down because 4 is so fantastic?

Another dumb question. I already met up with the fox, got the relationship blah blah. I did an ema thing and now it wants me to meet up with the fox again. My question is where do I meet up with the fox I search all over and can never find it! quote="Captain Oblivious" post="409881350"] This is pretty accurate. I would still recommend 3 though, it's still fun and a great time it's just not as good as Persona 4. There are worse fates than merely being not as good as Persona 4 though. [/quote] Extremely accurate. Persona 3 is AMAZING. but Persona 4 is them perfecting the Persona series. So i'm guessing when Persona 5 comes out in 2020 it will ascend to Godhood.

The Fox isn't going to be at the shrine automatically, if you completed the quest then by picking the prayer shrine (which is how you even talk to the Fox to begin with) then the Fox should show up. The only reason the Fox wouldn't show up is you're not done with the quest yet. weast posted:Does anybody know what the stones such as Iolite and Fluorite do? Go to Shiroku at night and you can trade the gems for items.

Head back to the shrine, walk up to the main hall (the building on the far right-hand side), and press X to summon the Fox. Also, just as a heads up, accepting an ema request does not use up time, but turning in a request does use up time. weast posted:Does anybody know what the stones such as Iolite and Fluorite do? Go out at night and head to the Shiroku Pub (where the Shiroku Store is during the day time). The owner will trade you weapons and armor for certain gem combinations.

Man, the new Shuffle Time is crazy. I got really lucky with Magician, and by the end of the 3rd dungeon I had a single persona with Auto-Tarukaja, Apt Pupil, Power Charge, and Brave Blade.  e: worth mentioning that it started with a Light physical, and got hit with Magician three times, upgrading the same move every time. I wonder if that's intentional, or I just got absurdly lucky? Golden Battler fucked around with this message at 06:55 on Nov 24, 2012 |

There was one in particular about some Japanese poet that I cannot imagine Atlus could have expected any of their Western audience ever knowing without looking it up. On that note, I hope they haven't changed them, since I have all of them memorized by heart at this point.
