    What do I need to have for black frost, is there any faq or site that will give me persona recipes?

    San - form of respect

    Kun- used when talking to male

    Chan- same as above but female

    Senpai - somebody in a higher position or grade.


    Jack Frost+ Pyro Jack + King Frost + Queen Mab = black frost

    I thought to make a Black Frost it was Jack Frost + Pyro Jack + King Frost + Pixie + Ghoul?

    Also for the love of god can we not turn this into yet another my FF is better then your FF debate

    I don't understand. Nine wasn't fantastic, and seven does get a lot of hype, but that doesn't make it a bad game. On the other hand, eight is the least fun I have had with a Final Fantasy (but I have never played X-2, which looked pretty bad).

    Stop. Please.

    It was an offhand comment made mostly to joke around (although, yes, if you must know, I do mean it).

    He's...pretty worthless in combat, really at least until you get up into the crazy high levels, but he gives extra story. Not a lot, but it gives a good bit of background on him and Guido.

    Sorry, but VIII brought me up and then let me way down.

    Rinoa and Squall have to have the most contrived relationship in anything ever.

    SMT thread...

    SO HOW ABOUT THEM DEMON NEGOTIATIONS. AREN'T IT CRAZY HOW YOU NEGOTIATE WITH DEMONS?

    By the way, what's the advance word on Devil Survivor? I'm going to buy it regardless, but I'd like to know how it's being received. The only review I've heard of so far is Game Informer's (8/10), but I wouldn't even use that lousy magazine for kindling.

    Here's all you need to know about Devil Survivor:

    When you fuse demons, you can manually choose what skills to give them.

    THAT ALONE IS WORTH A PURCHASE

    This is making me sad that I'm terrible at SRPGs because it would finally be a solution to my hours of frustration of trying to get my personas to inherit the right skills

    I still wonder to this day why they don't just allow for that in the other games. Fucking DemiKids allowed you to select inherited abilities. DEMIKIDS!

    Bright/Dark Might might be the best skills in the game

    Auto-crit on an attack during full/new Kagutsuchi, respectively

    I think one of the buyable Mitamas has Bright Might, at least, so it's not even tough to get

    Also, the last Oni
    has false forms, and you can only tell the fake ones apart by fighting it at Full Kagatsuchi.

    It's still a fun game, but it's just strange that, until recently, it was apparently the only game in the metaseries that allowed for you to chose the inherited skills.

    Mitamas can be fused to monsters without altering them, just boosting stats and allowing them to inherit skills if there are any empty slots. So just give it to someone else; it's all good

    That's because DemiKids is just the baby school! SMT is the Big League Chew!
    I imagine that it's because you're supposed to just take the random skill inheritance you're given and like it, but players realized they could cheat the system by canceling and restarting until they got a random set they preferred. Cue thousands of man-hours of pressing X, up, up, X, circle, X, up, up, X, circle, X, up, up...

    Man, if you had to just take the first skills shuffled onto a fusion and keep them Hama/Mudo type demons and persona would be totally useless.

    As is, it's like pulling teeth trying to get them to not inherit Mudo, Mamudo, Mudoon, etc. all at the same time.
