Does fire boost stack with Fire amp? Googling it gives me mixed answers.

I got a "upgrades persona skill to the next level" card, and it turned one of my skills into Blade of Fury, which does 2x to 4x medium physical damage. Which works out to about max 600 points of damage to all foes. I got this on level 20. Needless to say the game is just a way bit too easy now. theblackw0lf fucked around with this message at 06:45 on Nov 30, 2012 |

This is from an mechanics guide for the PS2 version; presumably, this stuff wasn't changed for Golden:quote:7b. Stackable effects

I'd love to spew out Agidyne dealing +95% damage from fire vow/boost/amp but I can understand exactly why they don't allow it. Seriously, +70% damage and mind charge is enough. I'm nuking trashmobs and golden hands for something stupid like 500-900 damage already

Huh. The new cutscenes actually change depending on if you've got a Romance link with a party member or not. August spoilers: I maxed Yukiko early (July), so she called and asked if I wanted to go to the festival the day after the whole group went. Then the firework event at the end of August happened and Yosuke was whining about Teddie cockblocking him at the festival. I got a choice about saying "Yeah, it was different" or "It's easier with guys" and I picked the first one. Yosuke was all "Wait, you went again with someone?" My MC looked at Yukiko and she got flustered, and then he got flustered, and everyone kept looking between the two of them. It was adorable.

You don't have to have a maxed/romance link to get that scene, I got it with Rise and her link was nowhere near the point where I could romance her. Still a very nice scene, though.

I never knew those stacking rules, thanks. Explains why Oni with resist physical took like, no damage from attacks. I guess this also means you can overwrite elemental boosts on allies if you want to get them the elemental vows. Is Invigorate stacking worth it? Naoto learns all 3 ranks so maybe rank 2+3 and the MP cost reducing accessory would make Megido actually worth it.

Yes, unless you hang out with them after they ask you to on the phone. That said, hanging out with your friends after they call you lead to unique events happening, so go anyway.

I feel that I should probably restart my game considering I've just beaten Shadow Chie and noticed that I haven't been improving Expression and I know how important it is to max that early. That said, does anyone have an optimal method to raise poo poo for the first month?

I think one of the early books you can buy from the bookstore improves Expression (the second one you can get, maybe?). I know the Translation job does and it's one of the first available. Aside from that, the Drama Club's a good way to do it once it becomes available. (I know some of these are later than the first month, but they're still the best way to raise it early on)

It's not critical to be locked into an optimal path for the first month because there's still a lot of time to adjust things at that point and still grab most of the links. If you want to get some expression early your options are really only giving your classmates the right answer when teachers ask them things and going to the Sun link early on. Doing both of those should get you to level 2 expression (or almost there) by the time translating becomes available as a night job. Even once it does, don't bother doing any until you also have the book which increases expression boosts when translating and have read it. Once that's done you can start splitting your time between studying and translating at night. I think there are separate hurdles requiring level 2, 4, and 5 expression for Justice and Hierophant but it can take a little while to hit those so just work on the links until you can't and then do more expression building until you can.

I just got around to reading the last 400 pages of the thread, and I'm glad I did. Now I know that I should only romance one of the girls- but how the heck do I decide who?!  For me, it's between Yumi, Naoto, Rise, and Marie. In vanilla P4, I chose Yumi and Rise. This is a really tough choice- I want to see all of the adorable flavor text, but I don't want to feel like an rear end in a top hat on Valentine's!  Besides that, I'm having a blast with the game so far. I'm somewhere between 45 and 50 hours and just beat the Void Quest dungeon last night. The music for the boss battle there- holy poo poo, it was brilliant. I'm just smashing through dungeons and my team's average level is over 50 now. I just can't stop collecting personas and fusing them, or doing quests, or searching for chests. This game is pure crack. Seriously, after playing P4:Arena and this revamped version of P4, I cannot wait to see what Atlus has in store for Persona 5. Golden has seriously been the feel-good game of the decade. It's hard to shut the game off when I constantly think to myself, "just one more day..."

Bolverkur posted:gently caress, I know I should be used to it from P3P, but I am so loving mad that I automatically game over when the protagonist dies. loving hell, that is infuriating. You take care, play defensive, and then one crit takes you out at near full-health. Otherwise loving this game. Can't believe that the P3P interface didn't bother me, that is, playing as a cursor. I haven't completed it and after experiencing this it will be tough to go back. Seriously. It made SOME sense that they added it into P3 since the concept of that game was that you were controlling the main character and the party members were their own people (who apparently didn't know how to use resurrection items without being told) but now that they have scrapped that and just let you manually input everyone's commands it's just irritating. It also makes Personas with light/dark weaknesses a super liability.

I had my expression maxed by July and I did it by translating and hanging out with the cat outside the Dojima house. I've barely read any books (who has time?!), but the cat can raise both Expression and Understanding, though not every time. Going to Drama or Band helps a lot too.

This game is so good, makes me want to actually go finish the P4Arena story mode. I got annoyed that the whole thing was ultimately about a completely new side character related to a P3 character.

Uh, I'm sorry for asking? No, I guess I don't care about half the girls. I skip through most of their s link dialog. But I've already have some as girflriends because that's just the choice I default to. I was wondering if there were any new drawbacks and if I should stop it. That's all.

Aphrodite posted:I really hope Persona 5 comes up with a battle system that's not awful. Really? I always thought that Persona 4's battle system was a hell of a lot more enjoyable than the systems in place in other turn-based JRPGs. Granted I don't play that many JRPGs because they're usually terrible and lovely, but compared to the few I have played, this one is the only one I actually enjoyed. Well, except the MC getting Mudo'd at the very end of the 5th dungeon after grinding for an hour and a half on the PS2 version. That wasn't so enjoyable.

I think with the changes made in Golden, the persona and battle system is pretty great now. Granted the only other SMT series besides Persona I've played is DDS, so I might be missing something better. I hope those changes stick and make it to 5, though I guess there's no reason they shouldn't?
