Does expert mode amp up the Compendium costs like it did in P3?
Beat the September dungeon last night. I shoulda seen that reveal coming, and yet somehow, I didn't. Explains a lot, though, hahah.

That's why I love trumpeteer so much. Too bad he's so hard/expensive to getVolcynika said:
He has a skill that lowers attack, defense, and aim. Then I would use Yosuke to raise aim/evade. The final boss had trouble hitting my party lol
I just used another persona, sometimes, to do the defense up skill.

So, can you not pull the severe damaging skills off their Persona? I was trying to fuse
, but I could never get it off.
Surt to get Ragnarok

Ei. I'm hoping to get it onto a more powerful one just to see, and besides, it'd be annoying to me if it didn't transfer.NoitoraJirugajr said:

Thor makes training on the floor of this place hilariously easy.

Ah, drat. Well, Thanks Blackjack. I suppose it's time I took my lvl 80 party and finished this.
Wow, Black Frost is one powerful-ass persona. I beat the Void Boss with relative ease using Spirit Surge (or whatever ) + Fire Amp + Heavy Fire Attack. Did close to 500 damage with one hit! I also transferred debuff attack spell with it. It didn't even last to the third sprite! Before that, it looked like it would be impossible to beat it! I'll probably keep it all the way 'till the end.
They've got you thinking the game's done after you beat that, but I know better.
Is that how these games are?? The persona you make makes all the difference in tough boss fights? I limped through and barely beat P3, and have never played any other SMT games besides this and P3.

Yep. I usually fight the boss, and if I lose, I go train and craft a persona for the fight.2DMention said:

Well, now I'm all sad that it's over. I always have to beat games at night before I go to bed because I end up sitting around in a funk for the rest of the night. :lol

I'm finding Dungeon 4 a lot harder to get through than the previous ones. I encountered several annoying game overs on the 5th/6th floors earlier this evening. This game sure can be frustrating at times. But worth it.

So I've been playing about 2.5 hours and... wow. It sure does have a lot of dialogue. Not that I mind it. The writing and VA has been pretty decent thus far but I don't dig how long it takes for you to be able to save.
I like the game though. Story seems pretty interesting and the characters are decent. I imagine that the game will eventually take off at one point, that I'm still in the "introduction" phase of the game. But so far, not bad. I guess I just wasn't ready for the insane amount of plot setup.

it's good that you're still sticking with it, it is a bit slower at the start than persona 3, but it gets pretty darn good soon

Yeah, the opening is a bit too big, but stick with it and you'll eventually gain full control.

Eat at the ramen place on rainy days since there aren't mainy social links you can work on then. If you have the patience, try to take out dungeons in one day.
I thought the game was actually a lot more forgiving than P3 since I was very close to getting all the social links maxed out and I wasted a lot of time.

Good to know. I wasn't about to ditch it or anything, but getting confirmation that it picks up is always swell. :lol

He's also known to hang out in the lobby of Junes on some days, usually weekends/holidays.
Just finished dungeon 5 last night, getting nicely into October. After fighting the 4th boss, I was expecting something devious and sinister, and ended up with a marginally quick and non-lethal fight. Ah, well.
Also opened up the Moon and Tower Links finally, and wow on Moon...
Ai is such a bitch, I wanted to slap her
Still gotta get more Courage and Dilligence, too. Couldn't tell

Hoping to get another month or so out of the way tonight, or at least spend a rainy day in the TV to get some more experience and see if and where the latest addition fits into my party.

Fought the Boss that appears in Yukiko's castle when you first get her, and I got fucking wiped two times in a row.
Shit.
Shit.
Pop On Arrival said:
Leave it alone and come back later after you clear the next dungeon (or else use a resistant to physical damage Persona). The massive physical attack of that boss can kill in one shot your entire party at lower levels (i guess that's what happened to you)

You don't really need a resistant persona actually since it doesn't take many levels to make rampage meaningless. What I did was go back there after I ran out of SP in the 2nd dungeon. By then I had high enough levels to beat the optional boss even without SP.Vorador said:

physical mirror... find one and use it on the protag. like mid-way through the battle and then the rest is luck... hopefully chie is strong enough to withstand the attack, or possibly yosuke as well... yukiko will more than likely die...Pop On Arrival said:
if you get lucky and use the physical mirror before he uses rampage then you should be good because he dosn't tend to use rampage more than once... unless you take forever to kill him...
but like i said... a lot of it is luck
if worse comes to worse, wait and come back later

You don't even need to grind very much. It is possible to fight him without him ever doing rampage. Just keep lowering his defense or hit percentage and spam ice attacks because they do the most damage. Since you have a save point right there you can just reset if he does rampage.
At first I was proud to have done Rise's dungeon in one night, but now I realized that wasn't reallya good thing since you can't go back in the dungeon to grind until
. There were like 3 nights that would have been great for grinding, too 
Oh well, at least I got to work on social links.
Teddie is done with his alone time
Oh well, at least I got to work on social links.
Anyway, I'm stuck on the Rise dungeon
Shadow Teddie kills me in 1 hit with his mabufa (after he uses mind charge), they should be a save point after the first save point.
Right now I'm using Ose so I could deal around 300 damage (Mind Charge + Atom Smasher) and my party is Yukiko, Chie, and Kanji. Should I switch to a persona thats strong to ice, if so which one

I usually use the previous dungeon's major shadow as a measuring stick for whether I can beat the boss of the next dungeon. If I struggle too much on the major shadow (have to resort to items, end up just exploiting a weakness over and over or else I die), the story boss of the next dungeon would destroy me.Pop On Arrival said:
