[PS2] SMT: Persona 3 (The RPG to keep talking about, since :awesome:) Now with more PEZ.

Yes, Fuuka's definitely pretty bad, she sounds very strained at some (many) parts. It was one of the few voices that I didn't like.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

This guy is a pimp if he could seriously balance three girlfriends. <.<

well for the guys that are just getting to date the girls... I think this will help a bit I will use spoiler tags I guess to keep it clean even if it isn't much of a spoiler in itself.

Spoiler:

you can't date them at the same time after certain point, when the relationship reaches about level 6(the social link I mean) you are better off just dating that single girl till the social gets maxed, if you date any other female at that point there is a risk that you reverse that social link in particular and screw yourself over, after it is maxed... it doesn't matter because you have what you want already even if it gets reversed.

FELIPE NO

I vote Junpei as having the best, most realistic voice. Everyone else's are bland and generic. But Fuuka and Pharos.. Can someone loan me a gun? Uh, never mind. Anyway I just maxed out my Academics right on time to ace my October exams. Mitsuru will be mine!! Right after I'm done with Yukari. I'm also just one rank away from dating Fuuka.

About the full moon bosses, I'm deliberately trying to keep my levels low so they present some type of challenge but these things just plain fail. The hardest boss yet was that table on Tartarus Floor 135, it almost made me miss my quest deadlines.

10/4

Spoiler:

I cried tears of joy when Shinjoro died.. Does he get replaced? Without giving me a name just say yes or no please. I'm hoping Chidori joins.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Fuuka's voice is irritating, but how can you not like Pharos? His voice hits the perfect spot between creepy and happy.

About full moon boss difficulty:

I thought the last two had a good difficulty level. Strength/Fortune I almost beat on the first try, but then Fortune whipped out Magarudyne which my persona happened to be weak to. Then for some reason Strength decided to go crazy with Sexy Dance the next 2 attempts I made.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Pharos is always stating the obvious. Oh the moon is getting full again? Wow, even though everyone keeps reminding me, its on the news and I have a calender, I had no idea. Thanks creepy Michael Jackson kid! This picture sums up how I feel about his prophecies.

Spoiler:

And the 10/4 boss was easy but still fun. The Wheel of Fortune thing had me LOLing the whole fight.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

During a shuffle, when the cards leave the screen and return, is there any pattern to what order they return in? I've been trying to figure it out, and finally just gave up. It's been getting kinda irritating since there are times when I want the money card, or the experience card, and then they have to go fly off the screen, and return all scrambled up.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

They return in the order they flew up in from left to right.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

After a marathon weekend run I finally beat the game as I had to break my addiction to the game before the school semester is in full swing. Let me just say best last boss ever.

Spoiler:

The Nyx Avatar battle will be the most memorable boss battle ever.

-Awesome boss design. Check.
-AWESOME background battle music. Check.
-Actual difficulty. Check (if you don't overlevel yourself in the optional dungeon)

Also the narration by Nyx as s/he changed forms was great. It was probably the one element that makes the entire battle stick out in my mind.

Nope

Also about the FES issue. All I can say is that Jim Ireton, the VP for Atlus US is someone who I have dealt with on both a personal and business level in the past. Inside infoz tells me that P3 was a pet project of his and he's been extremely pleased with the response it's been getting here. I wouldn't give up on the possibility of FES just yet. Jim is gamer before he's a businessman and is the main reason you see so many releases for Atlus that you'd never expect. They don't run Atlus like a big corporation like say Square-Enix. Take the time to email him and tell him how much you enjoyed P3 your desire to see FES released in the US and I can tell you he'll seriously consider the prospect if for anything a service to the fans.

I was speaking idiomatically.

For the card-draws, I use a little trick to pick out which one I want... The cards themselves hover in place and sloooooowly sway at tilts/angles. Keep an eye on how much some are tilted and keep a note of it. Such as the one you want being tilting far to the left. Tell it to shuffle fast and keep note the one you want is now tilting far to the RIGHT (since it flipped around). Then pick the one most like that after shuffling is done. You have to do it at the right time though because they still hover/shift during the card shuffle.

This has yet to fail me really >_>; I got pissed off with how fast some draws went when it had something I wanted, so I spotted this and it works 100% of the time. Just hafta time it right.

Tower boss spoiler, floor low 100s.

Spoiler:

I cannot believe anybody hasn't bitched and moaned about the Natural Dancer on 110 yet. I just got through with the guy and I feel like jumping out a window. At least in other SMT games there are sure fire ways of dealing with charm. Uhg, this asshole seemed to use Sexy Dance every other turn, and in this game, it hits like gangbusters. And the Tetrakarn! The only way to hurt the fucker is with physical and he/she seems to spam that at times too!

FELIPE NO

I got kind of lucky on that boss. I maxed out a Narcissus Persona carrying a gift item, which was a Narcissus Flower: Charm Immunity. I equipped it on hero guy (Shawn Uzuki ) and kept everyone uncharmed while bashing away. If it weren't for that item I'd have probably lost several times, which makes me wonder what the other Persona gifts are. There's still a Jack Frost with a heart stored in my compendium, I bet his is an anti-freeze accessory.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Thanks Doc and Gechmir! I can't believe I didn't notice that, but then that would be just like me not noticing something that obvious. I'll try to give your strat a try Gech!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I just started. I'm up to floor 16. I'm really enjoying the game so far.

Has anyone got the death curse card in a shuffle? The first time I didn't really even notice the skull and cross bones on it till I picked it and it said "Death Draws near". I was like what does that mean? Then I hear chains dragging on the floor, I'm frantically looking for stairs or warp point because I had just found two rare chests including a katana, everyone was tired and I had no idea if it's even possible to survive a battle with death. Fortunately I met him in a room that had enough space for me to run around him and get to the stairs. So is he defeatable or are you doomed?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Mostly doomed at the level you're at. You probably have to be level 99 to beat him or something, but I'm not too sure. Best you run instead of trying to take him on. <.<

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Actually, you can kill Death if you use the Satan + Lucifer combo move, which does 9999. Makes the request to kill him one of the easier ones, that is, if you've managed to get those two.

And guest, you're right about Jack Frost. While I was getting caught up with my fusions, I managed to get his item. I think it's called a freeze stone or something, but it nulls ice.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

It's the Freeze Cap, actually. I've only gotten items from Jack Frost and a Titan so far, but I forget what the Titan gave me.

Since it's somewhat on topic, where did you get that sig, Metal Sphere?

Yeah, I knew it was freeze-something. Either way, I threw that on Akihiko when we went into bufu-happy enemy territory. Just like I put the Ring of Darkness on Ken to null Mudo stuff. Abaddon's Book of Enoch is awesome for the status resistance.

As for my sig? I got it by lurking over on 4chan's videogame forum, I usually manage to coax some new material out of them (like my sig). Here's another example:



And here's my sig in its original size, since it's slightly larger than what the forum allows:



Something that's got me down about New Game+ is that apparently S. Links didn't carry over.

On the other hand, since you keep your personae, your level, your equipment, and monad block is accessible, do you really need those extra five levels per fusion? It should only really be an issue with the higher level judgement/sun/tower personae, but how many times are you really going to be fusing those?

How ya doing, buddy?

It's something that I needed to mention, that way folks know which S. Links to max so they can get the final persona for that arcana and save it in the compendium.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

The item you gained from the S. Link itself is carried over as well, so it's not like it's the end of the world or anything.

Just remember to put lots of super stuff on the Compendium I suppose :E

That would fucking suck if it worked like that, and it's the first thing I checked for once the game gave me access to the menu.

Quote:

Yup, fill it with as many final personas as possible (and even better, level them up to within a few points of obtaining the item). That way on the next playthrough you can focus on the other S. Links you didn't max.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh blah, just hit the 135th Floor...

oh moi gawd:

That table boss is pissing me off. Any tips?

Most amazing jew boots

Oh shi-

Err, survive it? Get level up and get better gear? I hate that you're basically forced to absorb that shit. Oh, don't bring Mitsuru since he loves his Maragidyne. Have a Persona that absorbs that, or nulls it (Decarabia is good) so that's one less thing to worry about.

But yeah, just keep your health up and whittle away at him.

I thought you guys might like this, I wanted to use it as a sig or something, but I think I can't claim it or anything since I have played about 12 seconds of Persona 3, but it looks awesome, but anyway, not getting sidetracked at all, I'm gonna post this thing, right, now.



It's by that guy that did the Pirate Baby 2006 video!

EDIT: Sorry if this was already posted, I scanned the whole thread (!) but I didn't see it. And I think it's super neat!

Le sigh... I guess I'll have to grind for a little while... I still have twenty something days until the next full moon so I have some time to burn before I face this boss. Now would probably be a good time to hit at least level 45 or something.
