If I'm in the final dungeon now, does that mean I'm heading towards the good ending? (If so, the questions weren't that hard to navigate to get to it...)

If you're in the December dungeon, going after

First time: Kazuo Kiriyama, thankfully MC isn't a nutjob like the BR Kazuo.
Second Time: Ryo Hazuki, although this has not increased the sailor population that I can tell.

Although you do get to play with a cat and build and collect models!

Mine was Subhash Indrahar, one of my favorite characters from House Kurita.

quick question,im on the void quest now and have too many party members. do i have to keep them all evenly leveled? like at some point in the game will it require me to use a certain character for story purposes?

 

[itsinmyveins]

So what did everyone name their main characters? I'm rocking out with "Hero Tagonist"

When it comes to video games and naming the characters I usually go for just "Ash", probably taken both from Bruce Campbell's movie character and the main character in the old S-RPG Vandal Hearts.

But for Persona try to make it fit a bit more. I remember when I tried Nocturne out way back, then I just used some random name generator on the net to get a japanese sounding name. For P3 & P4 I couldn't be bothered with that and settled for the slightly nerdy name Eikichi Onizuka from the GTO anime, since it kinda came first to my mind, and I didn't want my character to be called Akira Kurosawa or something. :/

Spoiler

Nope. (I asked the question myself earlier! It's good that it doesn't force you.)

 

[firex]

oh yeah. in RPGs where I can name the main character, I pretty much always name them after myself unless I know there's some official name for them. so for p3/p4 the main character was named after me, same with Nocturne, and in most DQ games...

 

[Volcynika]

Maybe this is just a slight glitch.

but the name of the Persona looks different than everyone else's. Like all the others have a blue background, but this one has no background and is outlined in purple. Why is that?

boss! I grinded everybody up to lvl. 40, even merged a power with a ose like the guide said, and I still can't beat him! Fought him for like 35 minutes and got him down to 1/3 health, but everybody ran out of SP and I ran out of snuff souls. I was using a def buff on the whole party and attack down spell on him and ran out of mp fast. Must've fought about 4 sprites. I was using

Kanji = Kill Rush, Teddie = Mediarama, Hero = buff def and debuff boss' attack, & Yukkio - Med Fire spell

I don't think grinding will do any good. Am I using the wrong char.?

I must really be losing it when it comes to RPGs lately. Maybe I should shelve this game for now and restart it later on beginner, because this is ridiculous!

Well, at that time those buff spells will drain your sp, so you shouldn't use them, also the boss does a variety of moves, so you dont gain much debuffing the boss attack.

Maybe you are using a bad strategy, you should go all out attacking his unprotected form with all chars so you don't fight with so many sprites, I think I fought 3. But beware of megidola.

Also did you bought new gear?. Buy items so you can save sp. Just keep trying, gl .

Go about it the opposite way. Debuff his defense and Matakuraja. Should be able to take him down that way before the 3rd sprite.

Rakunda (??) is your friend in this battle. (i.e. the spell that lowers enemy defense)

I know... I just beat it lol. Rakunda + all your allies using mid-level magic does wonderful damage on him. Lowering his DEF is WAY more important than any other buff in this battle.

also when he

begins to reform his armor

go relentless on your magics becoz it'll open up an all-out attack

 

[firex]

I'm pretty sure I just fused the persona I'll be using to beat the game.

Spoiler

Ishtar with Mediarahan, Samarecarm, Amrita, Spell Master, Maragidyne, Maziodyne, Megidolaon, Invigorate 3 and Absorb Wind. No weaknesses, a little light on offense, but can cover all the healing necessary and won't have to use up the main character's pitiful reserves of SP. The question is going to be which Ma-dyne spell I drop for Absorb Wind since she learns it next level. Probably Maragidyne, since I use Yukiko and her fire spells are just as good.

 

[Tamanon]

In fact, Black Frost was awesome on that fight since Rakunda then Mind Charge + Agidyne = 700 damage a pop.:lol

You get used to things after a while. You die a TON at first in these games. But once you get down the concept of weaknesses and guarding you die a lot less.

Anybody have some advice for fighting Inazagi? As I sit I have MC, Naoto, Chie, and Yukiko all in the 79 range and I get wiped out in its second form. I don't have debilitate and have no way to get it as I only maxed like 4 or 5 s-links. I seriously want to beat this boss on this run but it honestly seems kinda hopeless where I'm at. My MC is alternating between a Loki, Hariti for healing, and Tan Lin (I think thats the name). Any advice?

Any tips for a beginner?

 

[crowphoenix]

Any tips for a beginner?

Try to have persons to attack and defend against all the elements. Try to end fights as quickly as possible by attacking weaknesses. Remember not to push your characters. Take it slow. And don't get frustrated when you die.

Any tips for a beginner?

if you dieing on regular guys, go back a couple of floors and lvl some more. Also, put your team on direct control

You don't really need debilitate. Tarunda + Marakukaja should suffice. I did it with a level 42 Hanuman and had MC just be a buff/debuff/item slave. I don't particularly recommend Naoto though just because her skill set isn't too versatile or all that powerful either.
