I take it you're a fan of X-2? Not familiar with FF at all but don't most people shit on the game?

no hes a legit fan of it

oh for some reason i thought you said "I take it you're not a an of X-2?"

 

[Green Mamba]

FFX-2 in my experience is a very polarizing game. Those that like it tend to really like it, and those that dislike it tend to really dislike it.

 

[Squire]

Self-serious dweebs do. Don't look now!

Oh, that. That's a lot weaker than Corvo made it out.

And Final Fantasy X-2 is my kryptonite.

It's goofy as all hell, but it's really fun and really well designed. Playing the HD remaster lately and I'm loving it more than ever before. I think most people could like it, too. Respect to legitimate gripes, a lot of it is just people needing to loosen up some.

 

[Lunar15]

I would think that landing head first on another person's face would probably kill you. Probably.

But this is also a game where they are clearly shrunken and Teddie is flattened by a key, so yeah, sure let's just go for whatever.

[Lunar15]

yes if you get kindapped you will get a monster who you can summon by yelling persona nd the guy comes o ut of the card and he fights the bad guys

 

[Mdesilva]

Man, P4GA might make me start a new run.

I've tried to start a new one multiple times. Maybe this'll be my motivation.

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

P5 confirmed to be a fuckin' awesome video game then. Bring it on.

I loved it more than most people I know....

 

[Red The Hunter]

FFX-2 in my experience is a very polarizing game. Those that like it tend to really like it, and those that dislike it tend to really dislike it.

I think most of the polarization comes from this, or that's where it starts from.

 

[SloaneRisette]

Time to get kidnapped

[Squire]

Nah, it's more than that. It's the whole game.

That opening and song are awesome though.

 

[Vylash]

Dammit why

 

[Dantis]

I never got past the opening cutscene.

 

[buddha0991]

When I was young, I thought FFX-2 was stupid, now that I am older, I see it as a ballsy, inspired take on an RPG sequel. When you think of a sequel to an RPG, you think they try to go bigger, better, darker. FFX-2 forsook that. What if, the future from a saved world, was happy and much brighter, much more colorful and full of song and comedy and stuff? What if we made an RPG about the world recovering instead of it getting even worse like most JRPG sequels? I rather respect FFX-2 for this interesting take...even if it does some dumb stuff along the way.

If P4-2 was Charlies Angels like FFX-2, who would be Bosley?

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

I never got past the opening cutscene.

I thought about quitting after the cut scene as well. Cool battle system but nah, definitely not my thing.

 

[Vylash]

I'm still going through X before I play X-2, but form what I hear it's pretty fun

 

[Levito]

P5 will just be like X-2 and we'll get a cameo of a pregnant Chie.

You mean when Lulu showed up and didn't look pregnant at all?

 

[Dantis]

I thought about quitting after the cut scene as well. Cool battle system but nah, definitely not my thing.

I was playing through Persona 3 and Nocturne at the time, and basically thought "Why would I play this shit over these two games that I really, really like?".

I have the HD Collection for Vita now though, so if I ever get around to finishing FFX (Which really isn't very long), then I'll give it another go.

 

[Acid08]

I'm almost done with X on the Vita and am really looking forward to getting to X-2 after I play 999. Loved X-2 when it came out, game is such a blast.

 

[CorvoSol]

I don't recall one, is it in either of their stories? Because I've beaten both of those.

Their whole fight, but mostly I'm talkin' bout

This scene here. Least it felt like a tease to me.

Oh, that. That's a lot weaker than Corvo made it out.

And Final Fantasy X-2 is my kryptonite.

I said tease dammit. I did not say "there is a moment where they all but say that Yosuke and Chie want to fuck each other's brains out."

[hipsterpants]

X-2 was fun until I got the good ending and fucking raged hardcore. What a pile of garbage. Also it's way too easy.

There's a Final Fantasy X-3 story that got released at the time of the HD collection which goes on to explain that Tidus never ages, has a childlike mind and gets blown up.

But if I'm not mistaken

he comes back again but this time as a bit of a doucheface and him and yuna argue a lot.

It's a stellar sequel,

kappa

.

Also, P4G challenge run update!
Thanks to Mdesilva for suggesting "slime and only slime" for the first dungeon. The physical resistance and red wall really helped in the sub boss and boss fights.

New game ++ on very hard seems like it may be a challenge later on especially with the lowered exp, lowered damage given and higher damage taken, but for now since I bought the weapons and armor from my previous game, it's not too bad.

So, one dungeon down, onto the next. But which personae should I use this time? I'll let you guys decide again, but this time it has to have a starting level between 10 and 20, otherwise I can imagine getting to the final dungeon and someone suggesting pixie

Shhhh

We'll pretend it doesn't exist.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

I dunno there sure is one hell of a tease for them in Arena.

Never played arena

 

[Jonnax]

Does that happen in P4A? I've played through Yu, Yosuke, Kanji and Yukiko, but put the game on the back burner because of how similar the stories were.

 

[Jintor]

I hope they release the P4A manga in le english. I hear it's good.

 

[Caladrius]

Make it like DBZ too.

Fuuka, what does the scouter say about his player level

How long have you been unbanned? :O

yeah man that would be wicked

*looks at time*

like, 3 hours maybe

 

[Meia]

Nah, it's in the manga only. Both the P4 and P4A mangas have stuff in them that doesn't necessarily happen in the games, and usually for the better. In the case of the manga, if they ever finish it, we may have a "canon" route through the story since it's told through the perspective of "Whoever you pick wins", made worse when some important things happen in some and not others.

 

[Dantis]

I've literally only just realised that there's no canonical route in Arena because whoever they choose to win the tournament is going to A) Not make sense unless it's Akihiko and B) Upset a lot of fans.

The latter one particularly.

 

[Guess Who]

A) Not make sense unless it's Akihiko

I'd kind of lean towards the robot with the gatling gun.

 

[Green Mamba]

I said tease dammit. I did not say "there is a moment where they all but say that Yosuke and Chie want to fuck each other's brains out."

I grabbed the "one hell of a" part.

 

[Venfayth]

Challenge runs are a lot of fun. Try p4 (vanilla preferably) solo only. Before you can remove people from your party, you must kill them in battle before doing any fights.

I did a p3p solo run, it was a lot of fun. The challenge of the game changes a lot. Certain fights and enemies become a lot easier and others much harder, often in unexpected ways.
