Its different in terms of mechanics, but its as high in quality

Also grab the two Digital Devil Saga games if you can

Dont get Persona 3 or Nocturne, just get DDS and enjoy

I'm now ~17 hours in. But I don't really know what I'm playing. It's fun, that's for sure. I just don't understand the social skills.
Do I have to focus on all character's ss or is it better to max out one character's ss?

I can now create lvl 19 persona's. The game is very addictive and I like Elizabeth's requests. Don't mind the dungeon crawling either in this game, but the characters get tired too fast. WTF is this shit, I want to grind...

Himu · « **Reply #64 on:** June 30, 2008, 07:15:49 AM »

focus on the people in the school the first half. you'll have plenty of time to focus on people outside school later. for now, just work on your favorite people in school.

My guys stopped getting too tired like at level 5. I was 80 hours in the next time they got tired and I was like wtf because I entirely forgot the game even had that feature.

I like to spread my tartarus visits though.

Third · « **Reply #65 on:** June 30, 2008, 07:25:59 AM »

Huh, your characters never get tired?

My characters (at least one of them) gets tired by each tartarus visit. Maybe I'm grinding too much...especially when a new tartatus block is opened.

Well ok, I think I'm going to max out the school social skills. I'm going to miss the old geezers in the bookstore though. :'(

Himu · « **Reply #66 on:** June 30, 2008, 07:42:08 AM »

it all depends on playstyle.

I try not to do too much during the day. If I know I'm going to Tartarus that day, I take a nap instead of answering the questions. I only go when my guys are their best, and I spread Tartarus visits for specific reasons. I typically run through the entire block until I reach a boss floor without fighting too many enemies, although I do for a bit so I can guage what I'm up against and change my Persona roster as needed. I pick up any treasure and cash on the way too. When I get to the boss floor, I teleport back down, save. I do this so that whenever my guys are in need to be healed, I can always be transported to the first floor without losing progress since I already made it to the boss floor. Easier that way.

Then I go "grind" for a bit, to test myself and see if I have to change up my roster. Then if I'm feeling prepared I go and fight the boss. When I eventually beat the boss, sometimes I'll continue on for a bit. Then I go check my spoils, visit Igor, and make any necessary changes to my roster. Leave, come back the next day, repeat, and concentrate on the next set of bosses. When I finish up a block then I concentrate on Liz's requests.

I know some people who go to Tartarus once a month. I think that's boring so I don't do it. I found that if I spread my visits it makes the game more fun. If you go once a month, and then only concentrate on day time that makes a pretty fucking boring rpg, so every visit I make to Tartarus, I have a specific goal in mind. My guys never get tired that way.

Of course, you probably have an entirely different play style.

Himu · « **Reply #67 on:** June 30, 2008, 07:50:53 AM »

i actually LIKE it when my guys get tired.

one time i fought one of the hardest bosses in the game tired.

and the pay off...omg. so surreal. It makes the game that much harder. I highly suggest fighting some bosses tired, because it increases the difficulty significantly. omg

this gaaaaaaame

Third · « **Reply #68 on:** June 30, 2008, 09:21:52 AM »

Some poeple visit tartarus once a month?

I visit the dungeon as much as possible. When I get the chance, at least 2 times a week. I don't sell my items for money(I have like a gazillion short swords and practice bows) and I don't know how to make any money besides exploring the dungeon floors. So I need to visit the place to get some cash for the equipment.

The game is pretty funny and the voice acting is actually pretty good! The only thing I don't like is the worldmap music. Ugh, I can't get it out of my head. TURU TU TU TUUUU. The velvet room and the school music are my favorites.

I'm currently on the 3rd block.

Fuuka just joined the team

I'm playing this on normal btw. Nocturne was too hard for me so I chose normal. Don't want my ass to get raped again. :'(

Himu · « **Reply #69 on:** June 30, 2008, 09:59:56 AM »

Yeah. If you go to Tartarus on the night before a full moon your guys don't get tired. So some people decide to just go to Tartarus then and do all the crap then and there. Me, I find that boring.

Himu · « **Reply #70 on:** June 30, 2008, 10:01:43 AM »

Dude, you HAVE to sell your shit. Oh man, that's how I got most of my money!

How much Yen do you currently have?!!

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #71 on:** June 30, 2008, 11:47:24 AM »

I do hour long runs of the tower from level 1 to 70+ that im at now. Just enter, scatter, then take stairs rinse repeat. You get rare chests and rare monsters along the way. I have at least 4 of these 'loot' visits a cycle. My characters are always in the latest n greatest. Only hard fight was on level 35ish I think with the guardian there. Every other 'boss' has been ez.

Plus as you get a bigger team you can port back at the 2-way teleporters, get your hp and mana back for free, then teleport back in...switching out tired characters for rested ones on floor 1.

I finally maxed out Yuko and she gave my character a blowjob. The first summer break sequence was awesome. I sabotaged stupei so bad.

Well I know that, but up until now they aren't.

First:
My crunch time prior to big tests is:

Great Condition - Shrine - Study Before Bed

How do I get a Great condition? Mine's always Good or Tired. Only Akihiko had Great once.

My characters even get Sick sometimes.

And yeah, I need to sell the items. I thought I could fuse all items, that's why I kept them. Seems I can only fuse items with persona's and gems. lol i'm going to sell all my irrelevant armory now.

My max Yen was 127k. I have 72k Yen now. I'll be filthy rich after I sell my equipment holy shit I have so many of them.

Oh man. I will not be able to play the game for a week now. Just heard that my nephew will be visiting me, he's coming tonight. The slacker always stays a week at my place.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! And I was just getting warmed up for this game. :'(

Himu · « **Reply #76 on:** June 30, 2008, 02:59:05 PM »

you get great condition by using the rest room, sleeping in class;etc

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #77 on:** June 30, 2008, 04:18:38 PM »

You dont need to sleep in class, I never do. Just use the bathroom once in a while, sleep early some nights, and take a few nights off of tart once in a while.

Third · « **Reply #78 on:** July 05, 2008, 09:36:22 AM »

Damn, played this game yesterday for 6 hours straight after an one week break.

I need my main character to get tired for a Request. But damn, he just won't get tired. What is this shit. When I want him to get tired, he never gets tired. And when I don't want him to get ired, he alwasy breaks down. I was tired in tartarus, went to the dorm and chose to study to get him extra tired. But the next day he's fine. $:-\$

I just completed the second Tartarus block. Got the document. Can't go any further, need to wait for the next full moon. Damn, that's still two in-game weeks away...
And I sold my items, I'm quite rich with my 260k YEN.

Can I play this game like...forever? Or is there a deadline? So, when the calender ends, the whole game ends?

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #79 on:** July 05, 2008, 12:52:43 PM »

yeah im at 31 hours already.

First: I wouldnt sweat time, the game is LOOONG and eventually you can troll the tower for nearly as long as you want. I havent had someone get tired while going through the tower in a long time, and I spend LOTS of time at once in the tower.

To get tired just study before bed a few times in a row

you get a choice on 12/31. If you do one thing, the game ends and you get the "bad" ending. If you decide to go with it, you get an extra month to prepare for the final boss.

I got killed by death. My arrogance got me killed actually. I though I could beat him. Oh boy, I was SO wrong...

He's so scary. Everytime I hear his chains I get nervous. I will grind the shit out of my characters just to beat him.

I also want to analize those rara shadows, but they're so weak. One touch and they're dead. And when I wait, it runs away. Reminds me of those stupid silver kelolons in Lost Odyssey. Urgh $:-\$

I just got Aigis. Wow, she's so annoying.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #101 on:** July 07, 2008, 11:08:25 AM »

Aigis is FAR less annoying than Yukari. Yukari is whine whine whine, and if you dont agree with her whining its bitch bitch bitch.

I still say they should let you date a girl with apathy syndrome to freak out your friends. Lug her around town; it'd be like weekend at bernies.

Also, have you encountered the floating enemy with the huge scythe, I think he is called "Death" or something like that. How do you beat that guy?

I studied like all week before exams. My Academics is only at the 2nd bar, but the grades I got were good or something. I haven't encountered Death yet. I've run into some stupid phantom ghosts or something that use the Domo spell or whatever its called that insta-kills you though, they suck.

I kinda rushed all the way up to the 36th floor but I just died on the boss there. It was my first try and I'm probably under-leveled since I basically ran past all the monsters I found just to get the warp points. I love this game. After I finish it I've got SMT: Nocturne to play and then it'll probably be time for Persona 4. I'd like to find Digital Devil Saga 1 & 2 somewhere, though.

EDIT: I think one of the reasons I'm enjoying this game so much is because you only directly control the main character. Sure, you can change the tactics of your party members to go support or conserve SP or whatever, but you really don't have to. I always hated having to micromanage every single little detail in old RPG's. Being able to just press Triangle and have everything automate itself is really great too because it makes grinding quicker and easier.
