I was thinking, are any of you guys thinking of using the DLC sub personas in Persona Q? Or are you already using the one available
?
(Kaguya)
Im not using it because I'd rather get them on my own.
People told me the DLC Personas in Persona Q break the game badly. After seeing how SMT IV's DLC broke THAT game, I refuse to touch them, even the free ones.

Considering the fact that you can get
Thanatos
I have Kaguya, but I'm not using her. I will use Thanatos though.

Didn't knew they break the game. Guess I'm gonna stay away from them as well, though I am going to buy the navigator's DLC.
Also, I just defeated my first FOE, yay! Didn't kill anyone in my party, but it was still a difficult and long battle, ran out of SP when he was about 25% of his maximun health, that's when stuff started to get difficult because of the lack of buffs and debuffs. My MC was at level 10 and the rest of the party at level 9.
The DLC Personas will probably be fun to use in a quick second playthrough.
As always, thanks!

Does that include the DLC that needed said game breaking DLC that came before it? Cause I think it fit pretty well.
There's some kind of simple joy to be found in cracking a game wide open. Though you're right that we shouldn't be able to just BUY game-breakers.

I'm guessing only the DLC sub personas have those unique abilities (not sure if they're actual skills or not)? For example I think Orpheus Telos's was similar to casting salvation each turn for 3 turns or something similar to that?

33 hours into Persona Q, third floor of the fourth labyrinth and
I'm heading off to bed, will get back to Persona Q after I finish studying tomorrow. I may have a problem, and lord help me when Persona 5 hits the shelves.
the party makes the obvious jokes about Kanji's sauna. Before the fourth labyrinth, I absolutely hated the puzzles of the third labyrinth - but I have to admit it was a definite change of pace from "figure out how to avoid the FOE and proceed". I have the strangest feeling that the fourth labyrinth may not be the final labyrinth at all, because the Big Bad and the Spider have yet to make their formal appearance, and a lot of scenes from gameplay trailers have yet to happen.

P-perhaps you dropped it?

Why isn't there a map or floor plan of the areas you're in, like the school for instance, so you know what floor you are on and each classroom is visible? Or haven't I looked hard enough. P4G

How's everyone's progress so far? I just got to the 2nd floor of the fourth labyrinth, and its a much needed change of pace from the 3rd labyrinth. Gotta say that I am not a fan of the 3rd dungeon. Other than that I'm loving game, and I'm really liking talking Makoto.
Nope. I had the Ultimax cards set in a zip-lock bag until PQ came out. I did get a duplicate Chariot card when I first got my set so I guess that's where the mix-up happened. Got a second Chariot in place of Fortune.
I doubt Atlus would be willing to send me a replacement Fortune this late though, so there's that.
I guess I've been going slow, I'm about 11 hours in, first floor of the second dungeon. The shadows here are kind of kicking my ass.
*pokes hardin*
I barely started the second labyrinth. Took time after finishing the first to even out levels and finish the third floor's map.

Just finished the second dungeon and turned it off. Haven't even seen the third yet. Had an easy time of the second boss, surprisingly.
The bottom of that second dungeon sure was...something.

I've mentioned it before, until I'm done with the semester I can't play much. I'm only like, 6-7hrs in, first labyrinth 3rd floor. Literally just got there, I think Elizabeth was calling us back or something lol.
I'm only on the 3rd floor of the first dungeon. Going to guess that the pain in the ass bug enemies are meant to be brutal, since you have a high chance of just flat out running from one. Still has a habit of ending a run early for me if I run into one. Though maybe I just need to figure out how to farm the new armor I just gained access to, as their physical hits 2-shot...
Six hours in and I just cleared my first F.O.E. on Risky mode. Aigis/P3 Protag are level 7, everyone else is level 4 or level 5.
So far, Risky doesn't seem all that hard. I was expecting a lot worse, but I beat the F.O.E. on my second try with the party largely alive. Definitely requires a lot more careful planning tho, seeing as I've racked up a bigger playtime than other players at the same spot.
Junpei is the party MVP so far. Taking hits, getting crits, and casting poison like a boss.

I don't know whether to laugh or feel pity when I hear him talk, Aki what did they do to you? Other than him and Chie, the cast feels mostly like their old selves again, which is great.
Yeah, PQ messed up Akihiko pretty bad. There were his clothes in P4A, but even that game didn't make him to be so one-note in terms of personality. There was a single scene, at least in the P3 side, where he had reverted back to his normal P3 self, but aside from that it's unfortunate.

I beat the boss of the first laberynth yeasterday and I have to say....the music was top notch, and I'm really glad the boss fight was long as well. It was pretty difficult and I was glad that I brought the necessesary buffs and debuffs. Even then things got a little complicated when SP started to run low and when she hit some of the party members with their weaknesses. All in all, it was a good fight, and again...dat boss music.

Yea it is awesome. I played P4 route first and after meeting the P3 cast, I saved and started P3 side just to meet P4 side. So good.

Yup all Akihiko ever talks about in PQ is either fighting or protein LOL.
This is also how I feel with Naoto and cute things.

What, like Kanji?
EDIT:
No, I meant Kanji being one of those cute things she has affinity for.
What, like Kanji?
The weirdest part is that Kanji is completely open about liking cute things in PQ.
I think they just transferred that trait to Naoto because it's like a cliché thing for serious ladies in JRPGs.
It's still dumb though. Especially as it contradicts other things.
It's obvious that in this world Yu completed Kanji's social link. But yeah Naoto is a bit odd, not bad but odd.
Akihiko so far is the only character I dislike cause "PROTEIN, LET'S FIGHT, TRAINING". Even Chie's meat obsession isn't that bad.
Koromaru easily has the best characterization. "bark"

Just got an email from Shopto Dantis, They said they'll dispatched my PQ by tomorrow. Hopefully ill get it by tuesday
Did you Email them? I don't have any Email.
Certain characters feel generally better than their Arena counterparts (Yukiko and Kanji), while others have just gotten hit with the shit stick (Teddie and Chie). All these Akihiko complaints are disappointing, he probably said the word 'protein' like 3 times in P3, and now it's his central trope.

Nah, i didn't send them anything. My order also says "complete/first class" on their website.
