    it seems as though everything in the Labyrinth is weak to either Hama or Mudo

    Yeah, literally every enemy except bosses and FOEs is weak to either one or the other. And Naoto has high agility and luck. And in this game Impure Reach boosts instant kill chance.

    Persona Q is not a well balanced game.

    I'm hoping that Persona Q2 is a bit better in that regard. Just beat the first boss after she pretty much destroyed me the first go-around. The second time though I had figured out how Link attacks worked and just spammed Frost Link with MC, had Yukiko using the Heal Stone for 50 HP to him every round to off-set the 48 HP cost, and the rest would just attack normally to conserve resources for the Card Soldier phase, with Rei and Zen using Recover for spot heals if the queen did Mow Down a lot. Then I had Yukiko switch to Maragi along with everyone else who had an elemental multi-attack so they could gain Boosted status and take out the cards in one round with a free attack in the next if the Queen didn't do some AoE move. Ended the fight with pretty much everyone going strong still.

    Eh, I had that fantasy back when I was playing the game. I even worked out how the boss fight would go in my head.

    I just got back from the Hawaii trip and I think the decision has largely been made for me to lock Takemi in as the romance
    She's at rank 8, while I still haven't maxed my Charm to allow me to progress Makoto's link
    how much time do I have left now? when does the game run to?

    You have a fair chunk of time left, without spoiling anything

    Futaba's palace is roughly the halfway point

    I'll tell you who's probably not gonna get a lot of time - Hifumi
    she seems fine but I know I can't max everyone out and she feels like the one who's gonna get cut whenever I need to make a choice

    I did the same exact thing

    Level her up a bit because her skills are definitely useful but don't worry about maxing her out

    I found Hifumi’s skills really useful. Swapping characters at no cost is useful.

    I have the party swap ability and I'll get her to rank 3 for the follow-up attack from backup members and then I think that's good

    I just checked and I'm at 51 hours, incidentally

    Gotten pretty far in Persona Q. Closing in on 50% of the third floor in Labyrinth 2. It's funny how much easier the game got when Naoto picked up Mamudo and Mahama to go with Impure Reach. Current team is

    Front: Aegis, Kanji, P3 Protagonist
    Back: P4 Protagonist (because I can't take him out), Naoto

    Also Teddy sucks super hard and I gotta ask if he's this much of a creep throughout the entirety of P4. On the plus side, everyone dunks on him repeatedly so there's that. Especially Aegis, who occasionally says something that makes me snort because of who it's coming from. Like "You bet your sweet bippy!"

    Persona Q flanderizes the shit out of it's characters but yeah, Teddy's a creep in P4 just... he has other actually decent character traits there too.

    Persona Q Yukiko is pretty great, yeah. Low-key threatening Teddy with painful death for his creep ways as she powers up DBZ style.

  • ShortyShorty touching the meat Intergalactic Cool CourtRegistered User regular
    the game console is worth buying because it opens up some playdates with your party but actually playing games isn't generally a good use of time

    Okay, Labyrinth 2 completed. My initial "destined partner" was Teddy and I noped out of that with a quickness. Picked a different final answer and it paired me with Ken, whom I also dislike but less viscerally.

    Then his dialogue was about how in Japanese law it was illegal for two men to marry, which I looked up and is apparently still the case in Japan so that was enlightening

    I get the feeling I'm gonna finish Q, boot up Etrian Odyssey 3 or 4 for more dungeon crawlmapping, and get my face smashed in because 90% of my non boss combat tactics are either Mahama or Mamudo

    They have their cheese strats too.

    ...Nexus is actually losing me because nothing can actually threaten me through my layers of passive healing and buffs and debuffs. Bosses just take a while to kill once I know what they do.

    Im like halfway through Q with Q2 sitting here because I got it shipped early.

    I popped it in because I was curious what the opening movie was like, and if anything comes close to the absolute jam that is "Maze of Life".

    Q2 has no opening movie or song.

    What the hell, thats like, a whole thing in Persona!
