I haven’t been active in this thread like I wanted to be but…

This is the greatest game ATLUS has ever made so far

It’s almost like they tailored it exactly to my taste perfectly. It feels mature in all the right ways

I can’t believe what I’m playing this is deadass their Elden Ring. I have no clue how they got it so right the first time lmao

ok sogne the icebound + rella is the first boss to give me a headache. time to take a break lol

DAMN this dungeon long as s***

if you mean the first one then I feel like they purposefully made that s*** long to try and force you to do it in multiple days

I was not gonna be deterred tho I cheesed one of the archtypes for MP regen and kept going

Cathedral complete

I didn’t find out about that until a YouTube video half way into the cathedral dungeon. It’s the mage passive right ?

Game of thrones has begun

yea mage passive cheesing the infinite respawn enemies at the red crystals

ice dragon slain poor Rella tho

Maria's follower bond is giving me flashbacks to Nanako's social link 😭

Got to Junah’s awakening s*** so funny how everyone else’s was about a life changing epiphany while hers was just “fuck it im bored time to unlock a crazy new power”

I'm not a furry but catherina

Need more mp potions fast

start making party-wide 100 mp recovery food brother

get your Maria up so you can do Speed Cooking

It's alright. I guess I'm not ready to play persona 6 rn.

at first I was on board with the archetype exp qol but now I'm not really fw it

I've been on merchant literally the entire game on MC because theres no reason not to since I can level up all the other archetypes without even having to switch. same goes for the other chars, I rarely ever switch them off their "best" archetype so it's kinda just running the same class all game

tbh I would prefer it if they just forced you to play as the archetype to get the archetype exp. there are multiple classes and entire lines that I've never ever used but maxed out just to get a specific inherited skill or something

too much qol isn't always a good thing

someone get this user a vegetable bun

what difficulty are you playing at? i feel hard mode does a decent job forcing you to switch up archetypes but thats how you max out More's rank so it works out. it has for me at least lol it still use that qol exp for the members out of the party + archetypal rings though. pretty handy.

yea I'm on hard. I think the main issue is that's it's a 1:1 conversion

so like if I'm maxed out on merchant every 1000 exp I gain can just be 1000 exp for another archetype. strohl been on warrior line the entire game so far and I'm in september

anything I need from another class I just get using the hero leaves from leveling maxed archetypes

I would change it up more if it was faster to level if you have that archetype equipped

Edeni haircut is crazy what happened to buddy

For people who already beat it, is it really comparable to P5 in length?

I haven’t beaten it but I don’t think so. I’m at around 50 hours and I feel like I’m approaching the last 1/3 of the game. Maybe even last quarter

I remember base P5 held me down for a little over 100 hours. I think I’ll finish metaphor in under 80

i guess i just didn't find that way fun bc i couldnt wait to switch up my class whenever a quest, informant or new area suggested to do so. also it was easier to just embody the whole archetype rather than depend solely on inherited skills at times esp when the class rank is low (my fault) and can only hold 1 or 2 extra skills. but youve gotten by with your tactics so it really doesnt matter ig lol

doing some of these side dungeon bosses with weather effects is no joke
