I’m really glad that waluigi dying isn’t an instant game over anymore since I had a fight on the first dungeon here where he went from full health to dead within the first second of the fight, not even sure what happened

Xad posted:Both of the new characters are great and it's a very welcome surprise Sophia is pretty funny so far. I didn't think I'd like her from her character design, but she has an amusing semi-deadpan sort of humor and meshes well with the rest of the cast. ASenileAnimal posted:their levels wont always be even but you can get them caught up fast in a few fights in whatever your latest dungeon is. its better to have an underleveled party member that can hit weaknesses because alot of the fights will be a slog if you cant. Yeah, I ended up figuring out that it isn't very tough to keep everyone up to speed (and is kind of necessary due to SP limitations, at least early on).

It is very dumb that you get a fight where the instruction is to block the enemies attacks when there’s no block function and what it means is dodge the enemies attacks. Or have I somehow almost finished the game and entirely missed there being a block function.

I like how Sophie is always surprised by her showtime at the end.

I've started noticing that Futaba uses a lot of really old idioms (like "the bee's knees") and I assume that this is supposed to come off as a little weird.

In the original she also frequently does "make like a banana and split," "make like a tree and leaf," etc. puns. Definitely meant to come off as a little weird.

Some of these minibosses are brutal. I've had trouble with the Archangel and the Mokoi. Both took retries, and the Mokoi fight ended with Haru on her own just barely eking out the win.

the new characters are very likable, zenkichi grew on me exponentially despite being a cop. doesn't hurt that he's a dad trying his best and his moveset is fun as hell

Yeah, Zenkichi just introduced himself to the gang in my file and he's already a hoot.

Both took retries, and the Mokoi fight ended with Haru on her own just barely eking out the win. I had a lot of trouble with Archangel (I won first try, but used most of my healing items in the process) but had an easier time with Mokoi after changing my playstyle to just be really cautious and hang back from the boss and only get close to it immediately after it finishes an attack (and bail out the instant it starts a new attack). Party members seem pretty good at avoiding attacks, so, at least for these early minibosses, it seems like you can basically hang back and play it safe.

The only time I’ve felt the party just could not avoid attacks was the second phase of the first jail boss.

I'm happy to confirm that everyone's favorite SMT mascot, Mara, is in fact in this game as an optional encounter, and has an attack where it obscures your vision by shooting cum onto your screen

This one cutscene during the first jail made me realized that the original P5 (and P5R) don't actually have any "CG action cutscenes." The cutscene was cool so I hope they keep doing those in the future.

Finished the story, that last boss was kind of silly. Platinum is going to be a grind though, holy gently caress. You need bond at 99 for the all skills trophy and I finished the game at 52, and that was with the increased bond exp skill maxed out ASAP. I might just wrap up the post-game requests and call it done.

History Comes Inside! posted:Finished the story, that last boss was kind of silly. I read an achievement guide cause I got the platinum in Royal and thought it might be a fun thing in Strikers, apparently it takes 13 hours of straight grinding the last boss to get that bond rating up to max. So yeah, not gonna be doing that. Maybe it'd go up a decent amount playing new game+ and be a bit less tedious?

Zenkichi is probably one of my favorite Persona characters period but I admit a good chunk of that is some loving excellent voice acting.

one issue i have with the game (and musou games in general) is that it's hard to read the screen when you're fighting a mob. i have trouble telling when i can use the special moves, when the enemy is susceptible/weak etc

Of course New Game+ Joker has an income that would let him rent Disneyland at least once a week

Any advice for Alice? She's whipping my rear end.

BearDrivingTruck posted:Any advice for Alice? She's whipping my rear end. Spam your dodge. Like in most high difficulty play in musou, you wind up darting in and out for attacks. Nail a combo and run to dodge the counterattack. You may have to (infuriatingly) fight the camera to keep it either zoomed out or tilted up to watch which attacks she's doing and plan accordingly. Don't be afraid to buy out the shops of healing items for both HP and SP and abuse it, and ensure you've gotten the latest personas fused. Also look to go in swinging when she's paying attention to a party member rather than you.

BearDrivingTruck posted:Any advice for Alice? She's whipping my rear end. Don't burn all the crackers immediately, you'll want to save one or two of them for when she jumps onto the pole. Bring Morgana; he won't have the meter to be Garu'ing all day but it'll help sneak some damage in. She'll stop the pole move in phase 2. If you bring Yusuke, you can swap to him right before she does her kick (it's got a fairly noticeable windup at least) and get a free Counter. In phase 2, the key move is her move when she spins towards you a few times. Just continually focus on dodging otherwise you're just eating damage; if you're focused on dodging it and aren't hugging the edges of the arena it's actually fairly easy to dodge. She has a noticeable lag period after each of her attacks, which is your time to attack. bobjr posted:The only time Ive felt the party just could not avoid attacks was the second phase of the first jail boss. That one is dependent on you, I think. If you're not dodging, your party members are just gonna eat it. If you're dodging their attacks, then they're also dodging them.

Tae posted:When am I supposed to be able to take on the blue sparks? I tried take the one in shibuya after nearly beating the 2nd dungeon but uh....still annihilated. Best bet seems to be at least partway through two dungeons after you find them, at first. Later on you scale up in absurdity enough to take them on earlier but i would probably be cautious until jail 5-6

Fusing a Slime with Agi and Garu and spamming dodge gets me a lot closer to victory, but I still can't do it yet. I think I'll grind for yen and EXP tomorrow, and if that doesn't work I'll switch to Easy.
