I think part of it is that the bleached, slicked-back hair gives him this subliminal 'receding hairline' impression, at least to me. Also I've always been confused as to how tall everyone in P4 is, I've seen two different height charts with completely different measurements for everyone.

While there's no tiredness in P4, excessive dungeon diving is going to cut into your afternoon S-Link hours, so it's generally encouraged to make fewer trips.

My problem is that there didn't seem to be a "Yosuke, stop being a cock" dialogue option. Also, even if you finish his character arc and evolve his persona and all that, the narrative format demands that he continues to be a cock. I just wish that solving your party member's issues would be better reflected in the main plot, but it's not really feasible with the way it's set out.

I would pay absurd amounts of money to have Nocturne/DDS on the Vita. ...Or the 3DS, but that poo poo's not happening. I guess I just want every SMT game to be in portable form.

I'm cracking open Digital Devil Saga for the first time, is there anything particularly egregious to keep in mind? I've had some experience with Nocturne, so I'm not wholly clueless. Also, if I start learning a Mantra, switch it with a different one halfway through, and then switch it back, do I have to pay money for the first mantra again? Am I buying it, or renting it?

Just one more question before I go- how do I get more skill slots? Four isn't going to cut it. Also, mantras are bloody expensive. If the didn't want me buying so many, maybe the shouldn't have taught me Devour.

Having a Persona of the same Arcana increases the 'points' you get from any interaction with that S-Link. Characters you don't use grow cobwebs in the corner, but experience is weighted so if you take your low-levelled chumps into a high-end dungeon, they'll catch up soon enough.

Cityinthesea posted:i'm actually going through EP right now, I have to wonder how people who played it before realizing there was a whole other game before it thought about it. The early story kinda doesn't make any sense without that knowledge. Considering that it was predated by games like Xenogears and Chrono Cross, Eternal Punishment was probably seen as downright rational and straightforward at the time of release.

Make it back to the entrance of the TV world and grind the lesser dungeons for cash and treasure. If you get low on SP, hang around Yukiko's castle until you luck out on an Arcana chance. Try to get a Persona with Cool Breeze, and once Rise hit level 77 you'll regenerate 5% of your HP/SP after every fight. Even once you've started the final dungeon you're still allowed to go back and shop. It might be a bit of a slog grinding for Chewing Souls or whatever but you are in no way screwed.

It's been said before, but Kanji and Chie could really benefit from swapping movesets. Chie's actually fairly well-rounded stat-wise, but her ice skills top out at Bufula/Mabufu. And Kanji has Maziodyne and Matarukaja and Elec Amp but absolutely no goddamn SP. Either way, I played through enough to use everyone.

ImpAtom posted:I sort of wish they'd make Negotiation more into "mini-combat" instead. Give your character social skills or something they can learn and have negotiation focus on finding and 'attacking' enemy weak points. It'd keep the talking aspect but make it more interesting. (And allow you to specialize in talking your way out of fights if you wanted.) There was a bit of this in Nocturne, I think. Certain demons had skills that could help you out in negotiations, like Intimidate and Flatter and Loan. The Demi-Fiend could learn a few of them as well, but you only had eight goddamn skill slots so there's probably something more important to put there.

TurnipFritter posted:[*]Your main character can't do poo poo besides attack with his sword or shoot with his gun, so that's pretty of lame.[/list] This is something I really like about Nocturne. In a series where everyone has guns and swords, and a genre where people frequently weaponry taller than they are, the Demifiend is one of the biggest badasses of them all, shirtless and unarmed. It's not even a magic fist or a multi-ki-strike or anything. He just punches so hard you straight-up die.

Zombies' Downfall posted:It kinda is about systems they own, though. I don't have a 3DS or a Vita and have no intention of getting one unless there's some crazy PS4 cross-functionality I actually care about with the Vita. I think it's silly to spend money like that on a portable game console in an era where everybody has smartphones, tablets, and/or e-readers. I wish the loving things would go ahead and crash in Japan too so JRPG developers would shift their attentions to making good mobile games and using the loving fortune to be made off those on next-gen games. See, I basically feel the opposite. Smartphones cost a loving fortune in Canada and I'd rather play my JRPGs on a system specifically made to play games, than on something that doesn't have buttons, or a control stick. I like all my gadgets to have distinct functions. I wouldn't play video games on an E-Reader any more than I'd read a novel on a PSP. Basically if it were up to me everything would be made for the 3DS. Everything.

Music-wise, I think I prefer Persona 4 for... general purposes? There's a lot more variety in the dungeon tracks, and the song that plays at home doesn't grate like the dorm song did. On the other hand, once you hit January in P3 the soundtrack changes to Memories of the City/School and Living with Determination, which are probably my favorite tracks. Also, I love Burn My Dread (both versions) more that I probably should.

I suppose there could be people out there who don't have working PS2s anymore, and physical copies of Nocturne might not be easily accessible. Also, with all the Persona 4 hype going on at Atlus right now it's nice to be reminded that they made a bunch of other rad PS2 games. Coincidentally, how impossible is it to play PS2 Classics on my Vita? Is it possible if I pray and import an obscure Vita attachment or am I going to have to finally buy a PS3/4?

Are Force and Wind supposed to be the same sort of thing? Like, from what I've seen SMT games have Agi/Bufu/Zio pretty consistently, but half the time they have Garu and half the time they have Zan, and for a long time I thought they were different names for the same element (but still for no reason) but then I tried to look it up just now and Persona 1 has both. Actually Persona 1 is bonkers, it has 12 damages types or something like thatthat?

The other thing that bugs me about Kanji's arc is that a lot of character development is chained to his S-Link so even if you have him at rank ten and he's making stuffed animals and completely owning his tender-hearted biker punk style, he's still all defensive /in denial /obsessed with manliness in the main cutscenes because thanks for preying on his insecurities, Yosuke. I guess I have similar complaints with most of the main cast that way. Except Yosuke, I can't actually remember what his S-Link plot arc was about. Was it just him admitting to being vaguely resentful and dickish until you punch him? I miss Junpei.

For me the p3 protagonist discussion is partially a matter of game theme vs game enjoyment. The male lead was basically an ambulatory ghost, and his SLinks felt like wandering up to strangers and staring at them in an emotionally detached way until they have an epiphany. On the other hand, all of those SLinks are about dealing with loss, loneliness , and death, and the fundamental goddamn theme, the heart and core of Persona 3 is, all things are impermanent, but our influence on those we love will long surpass our lives, and death should be neither rejected nor worshipped but gracefully acknowledged. Or at least that's how I've always interpreted it? And anyway, I always felt that the male lead's detachment was more or less [spoiler]because Ryoji/Pharos incubates in the main character for a decade and literally sucked the personality out of him. So it all ties together in a grim glorious thematic sort of way But on the other hand I enjoy being the female lead more. I agree more with her dialogue choices, and the people she hangs out with are more often people I think I would willingly hang out with. For goodness sake the Moon SLink was the loving Gourmet King and he got replaced by Shinjiro aka 'The Best Party Member'. Also you actually get to take your dog for walks. Also also the male SLinks have the dating mandatory to finish the link so if you want everything maxed out you're cheating on three or four girls at once. The female SLinks make it optional like in Persona 4. Anyway I find her way more likeable than the male lead so I got a lot more emotional at her coma/death at the end than the other guy. Anyway this is all personal interpretation and what have you but there it is. YggiDee fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Jan 20, 2017 |

I remember messing with the conversation apps a lot in SMT 4, just the pure ridiculous-ness of making bosses lose turns because you ask them about the weather, or begging enemies for money. Or better yet, paralyzing enemies and then just taking all their money. That was a thing, too. I think if you stacked all the recruitment apps together, you'd get a chain of events like: the demon is far easier to recruit, learns an extra skill, has bonus stats, gives you an item and money when it joins, and also recruits a friend. I don't think any if this is, say, optimal but I just like the idea of chatting up monsters.
