Well got past it, rushed Ronaldo with a Kishin demon in a tow and took him out in one turn, the thing after was quite easy in comparison. Having Ziodyne this early along with drain will hopefully make things easier but I'm not holding my breath. I did just fuse a Thor with Assassinate and holy crap is it ridiculous, I also cracked the same skill to, hopefully I get Jungo back soon to get make good use of it since Daichi seems more suited to multi hit.

I just brute forced it this time with Devil Speed + Double Up. When I first tried, all my guys were split up so they weren't able to heal each other. With this I was able to kill it without too much trouble.

Alteisen posted:Daichi seems more suited to multi hit. Daichi's pretty good at multi-hitting but if that's what you're using him for, I'd swap him out for Hinako. As I found out come Day 7 of my first playthrough, she is easily the best multi-hitter (the fact that she gets natural 40 for both Strength and Agility doesn't hurt but it takes a while).

I didn't have a whole lot of trouble with Phecda, because Ronaldo kicked my rear end the first time, forcing me to update and optimize my team to a level strong enough to crush him.

If anyone's looking at getting Devil Survivor 2, but are waiting to see more goon opinions, I wrote a review for this website: http://trendygamers.com/2012/03/06/shin-megami-tensei-devil-survivor-2-review/ If anyone else is interested, I'd be happy to receive any criticisms you might have. If you're not interested, I basically say it's a great game and you should get it.

I didn't even know that boss could recombine. I blew that thing up so hard that I was extremely disappointed. Physical based humans tend to be the most devastating bosses in my experience though. Thankfully Ronaldo is somewhat held back by preferring ranged attacks.
|
# ? Mar 10, 2012 17:52 |

Yeah, that boss never had a chance to recombine when I fought it either -- very easy. Ronaldo also doesn't seem to attack unless you either get close to him, or kill off all of his support first.

Been kind of avoiding this thread while I've been playing out of fear of spoilers, but now that I'm on day 7, I figure it's at least safe enough to look at the parts that aren't in black boxes. Holy poo poo, they seriously overcompensated for how bad Physical was in DS1, didn't they? Not only are Assassinate and the Multi skills broken as gently caress, but I see that Piercing Blow has been introduced to the DS skillset.

Yeah but it's very much shackled to the fact that anything with physical reflect is an instant shut down. There is no way to bypass that defense I believe. It's mainly an issue on a handful of bosses.

I like how on Day 5, they tell everyone the plan to use Pashupati and everyone just rolls with it and knows exactly what they're talking about when they mention that semi-obscure name for Shiva's spear/eye beams. I don't like how on Day 5 the character with sex appeal is the fifteen year old girl who constantly puts her hands on her boobs. Stop that Index, stop that this very instant.

Even Daichi gets creeped out by the whole thing if you choose the comedy "wait and see" option when she goes to take her top off So I guess it was meant to be weird but they just were really really bad at getting it across.

She's not putting her hands on her boobs, she's pulling on her ribbon nervously.

Sweet mother of christ, the day 4 boss was every Atlus bullshit mechanic rolled into one horrible creature. Also if Jungo the cat does not survive till the end I will hate this game forever. Alteisen fucked around with this message at 01:33 on Mar 11, 2012 |

I thought it said reflect, and the "etc" still suggests it - I hadn't seen it in action, having assumed it worked like Nocturne's analogue.

Actually I added the etc. Bad habit of mine. Has anyone seen holy strike in DS2? Holy Strike was something they added in DS1:Overclock so STR based characters had a way to deal with reflect. It was kind of blah though. Also looking more at Overclock, it seems that's when they buffed the poo poo out of STR in general and not just DS2.

Piercing Blow doesn't get through Repel Phys, but it does get through Drain, as far as I can tell. I used them both a lot later on. And if something with Drain Phys uses Piercing Blow on something with Repel Phys, it reflects off the target and pierces the user. Not that that comes up very often.

Holy Strike was something they added in DS1:Overclock so STR based characters had a way to deal with reflect. It was kind of blah though. Piecing hit is pretty much a pierce infused attack. Unlike regular pierce, it also cuts through repel.

Although I never cracked it so I must have missed it at some point in the game. They added this in Overclock so STR based characters could fight the bonus boss.

I'm guessing it's because of the bulky hoodie, but Chie looks like she's in an uncomfortable position. Her expression is the best, though. The sketch of Naoto in the link is badass.

Don't know what to think of cover art. On one hand there's a lot of poo poo in it and it sort of doesn't really click together very well, but Izanagi and Chie look amazing enough for me to justify it.
