    I'm on Team Dub. Sorry Magic, but I prefer dubs for my games. I don't know why (since I always preferred subs back when I watched anime) but I do. I think it may be an illness.

    Oh hey, can anyone give me a basic rundown of how skill cards work?

    Like can any skill from a persona become a skill card? Does it randomly pick a skill from the persona to turn into the card? Do you get to choose the card? Is it from a completely random pool?

    Basically I have no idea anything about them besides that they are another way to get specific skills on to a persona and if that's an easier way to get my Messiah decked out in physical abilities I won't waste my time planning a complicated fusion path. But if I need to keep my eye out for certain persona to get the skill cards I need I'd want to be able to plan that out ahead of time so I don't miss something.

    NVM, found the section on that japanese wiki, I can plan now!

    One other question about this actually, how many skill cards can you use per demon? And do you only use them when fusing or can you use it on a demon you already have?

    You know, as much as I'm trying to dislike the DLC coming in Persona 5, I really can't be mad because of what's on offer. I mean, every decent DLC pack is a full set of outfits and the battle music from what game it's from. And I was NOT expecting the list to be as long as it is... Persona 1, 2, 3, 4, P4DAN, P4A, Catherine, SMT4 and Raidou Kuzunoha. And that's not counting all the eventual DLC packs coming out that are free for the taking once released.

    If I do end up buying one... it'd probably be Kuzunoha. That game series doesn't get enough love, and Raidou's outfit makes anyone look like a pimp.

    I'd be tempted to get that one just to use the Morgana costume of that one because it's fucking hilarious. But Morgana won't ever be on my team so I'd not actually see it much.

    I actually really like their default outfits

    Oh yea me too. That's why I'm not touching any of them. If I could change their daily clothes to mix it up I would. But the thief outfits are just right. Would seem weird to mess with that.

    But that's why I'd just change the cat... but that's not worth paying for if I'm not using the cat.

    Most costume packs are $7 each, so... yeah, I don't like Atlus that much. I'm picking one or two down the line.

    And I really dig their original outfits as well, but this is a 100+ hr game... sometime a little change up is nice.

    I wasn't aware it had any kind of mainstream recognition. But then I guess I was also surprised when starting with dark souls 2 those games had a much larger profile with trailers and commercials and such.

    And I guess fire emblem fates had tv spots too.

    Does that mean you can use them on demons you already have active?

    You could just as easily argue it means way less people preordered it than they thought and there isnt any hype at all. I mean i ordered it (from amazon for $20 cheaper) but the mainstream cant be bothered with anything thats not an fps, open world, or moba. A turn based game where you have to READ (the humanity!!!!) is just so far beyond many people.

    One of the special 'weather' events is cold and flu season. During it, random enemies will start battles with the 'Despair' (not sure the translation) status ailment, which is basically Paralyze + SP Drain + Doom.

    This includes the Reaper.

    Which is just... dumb.

    Freikugel is the ultimate single skill, Gaea Rage for groups(at least the coolest looking one). Bolt Storm and/or Tornado are also good all the way into endgame.

    Gaea Rage and Deadly Fury are two skills I may have spent weeks comparing. The difference is kind of minimal, but it's there, and it's fuzzy, which is the worst.

    As far as I could ever tell, Deadly Fury is cheaper to use, has a slightly lower base-power, but scales to a roughly comparable place, and may or may not have a higher rate of critical hits.
    Gaea Rage costs a little more to use, has a notably higher power at less Strength, and may or may not have a lower rate of critical hits.

    Both use unique animations.

    I think the set I've used most was something like Focus, Deadly Fury, Freikugel, maybe War Cry or Fog Breath, Magma Axis, Fire Boost, Endure and Pierce. I think that I left out Victory Cry, because I'm mostly spending HP and throwing Salvation every turn, anyway. I like to leave resists to magatama, but obviously Phys Repel and Void Mind are my favourites.

    I had something optimised in the compendium for every element if punching things isn't enough. Even a redundant Earthquake-Skadi.

    Quick question if anyone knows, does P5 use the new SMT4:A mechanic where pierce now works against repel?

    Because it's obviously a bug, and stumbling onto it means oops, there goes all the challenge for the rest of the game thanks to the massive rewards you get. Hope you're either okay with that, or like any other showstopper bug, you saved recently.

    You can see he has the status though and not fight him couldn't you? Plus like PLA says if you know the status is in effect and then you go looking for a reaper that means you are already assuming that it isn't going to affect him. It could very well not be a bug.
