Black Frost and Frost Ace are good for that fight because they have Bufudyne and reflect fire; Asura took a couple hundred hit points of damage from reflected Maragidynes during the battle.

    Everything that boss did backfired on him. My whole team reflected or absorbed his elemental attack, so he couldn't really do anything but physical hit for pitiful damage. He even killed himself with his spell

    The beta of Megami Tensei I is progressing, slowly but surely.


    On that note, here's a look at the REAL old school stuff.

    Scans from the original MT novel, c/o Kurt from HG101. Prehistoric megaten.


    On a down note, according to siliconera, Cozy Okada is busy doing... uh... cutesy cellphone games now.

    He's been involved in some of the best Megaten games. Nocturne, Persona 2(both of them), Soul Hackers(I
    think), he was behind all that.


    There's an interview with him and Kaneko on the P2: EP bonus disc.

    Portrayed in hymns and myths as a god of war and pestilence, Nergal seems to represent the sun of noontime and of the summer solstice that brings destruction, high summer being the dead season in the Mesopotamian annual cycle.

    And it's spelled "Nurgle" in Warhammer anyway. Honestly, the words don't even look that much like alike and they sound different in my head, too. You must be pretty deep into 40k to have made that connection.

    They don't even have the same powers/theme behind them. Seriously cj, where'd you gt that idea? I mean, it's not like other games (Fire Emblem 7, for one) haven't used that name before.

    ...Not that I'm saying having the Chaos Gods as summonable demons wouldn't rock.

    Is there some trick to Dantalian's map quest, "Tales of Investigation" from the top floor of Eridanus? I swear I have every square of Bootes 1F mapped (checked against the GameFAQs map in frustration.) Do I need to go back and re-touch every square when I get the quest? Is there a "Gate C" door I've missed?

    Apologies if this has been addressed. Thread search for "Dantalian" and "Investigation" produced no answers.

    I do not. None of the Bootes floors is totally mapped, apparently (although some in Sectors A and C are...)

    Sadly, that does not help me know what spot is missing. Do you need to look at all walls in addition to walking on all spaces?

    The announcer just sounds so excited to be talking about Persona 3 Portable.



    So basically the Desert of Doors in P3P has harder versions of the story bosses, and they added [strike]Baby[/strike] Beginner and Maniac difficulties.

    I don't think beating Elizabeth/Theodore will be possible on maniac without some serious persona stat grinding. Elizabeth can already do 700 damage on normal with physical attacks. Even resistant to it the upped damage from the difficulty will probably still put it around that mark at max defense. Orpheus Kai will be the only way to win.

    Also I saw they still had a line of "Something between floors 64 and 69" or something. I hope they fixed the dialogue there so she's actually telling the truth, and the enemy isn't really on floor 72.
