was difficult? I just spammed Agilao on it, and it went down fast.

Spoiler

Grendel

on the other hand was a different story. That thing hits hard even with full buffs/debuffs and the Crits hurts a lot that I had to retry him a lot. And this was way before I had access to Tetrakarn.

 

[MechaX]

Btw, do the same buff/debuffs stack or is it like Persona?

They stack, but unlike in Nocturne/DDS, they only stack up to 3 times, not 4.

 

[Nexas]

Wow, that was fun. I came across a domain that had a level 75 boss at the end,

Spoiler

Erlkonig

. I fully expected to get rocked, but I thought I'd give it a serious try, even though my hero is only level 27 and my demons are a fair bit lower. He's always weak to fire in every game he appears in, so I knew what to try. A bunch of agilaos and some sukukajas in the first turn, I braced for attacks, but he missed almost all of them. I won before the end of the second round. Awesome.

That's what I've been really digging about this game. With proper planning and a little luck you can demons way higher level than you and come out on top. I've managed to score some really good equipment by doing this with some of the challenge quests.

 

[Hecatonchires Custom]

^4

It's three, I'm dumb

EDIT : What an underwhelming 300th post

You need to hold out for a couple turns and then you'll be able to damage it. Spend that time buffing your party and debuffing the boss.

Jealous of my skillz.

lol even more so since I just got my face smashed in by

EDIT: Can you analyze demons mid battle? Also Fallen sure do seem reasonable. So far I negotiated one into my party pretty easily, and another just gave me a quest.

Gonna have to look for that domain. Fire bullets should carry the day.

Jonathan's hair is so good. I should grow mine back out and try it

Buff during the beginning portion of the battle.

 

[Jinfash]

Suddenly I feel super awful about not investing buffs/debuffs in my fusions.

 

[Nexas]

Does anyone know where I'm supposed to find coffee beans? The quest says that they are Shinjuku, but I've looked all over I cannot find anything.

Nocturne (Matador) was the first and last time I made this mistake in a Megaten game.

 

[Samyy]

Holy what buffs stack? I just kept casting them once :<

She straight up bodies me with megaton press though. I guess I'll just have to get lucky :/

 

[Dresden]

All of them, buffs and debuffs. They all stack thrice.

 

[Jinfash]

I hate to be the ass who quotes himself, but...

Anyhow, I came here to ask about Fundraiser-- How much money are you guys getting with this app?

 

[Samyy]

Alright sounds good!

Btw, anyone know what to do in Shinjuku

Spoiler

I've come across the hunter place but it says I need an ID, how do I get the ID

 

[RiderKairuu]

Stuck on the final training exercise. I'm assuming I have to

fight the spirit things guarding the chest on the 2nd Stratum?

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Only one of my Demons has a Debuff move, and I've got 0 Buff moves.

 

[Aeana]

You'll wisen up to buffs/debuffs eventually. More demons start coming with them standard, so you'll get to try them out.

Indeed.

And/or you can start affording to expand their skill slots and buffs/debuffs just fit in perfectly then.

Yeah, I know how important they are (compared to other RPGs where they're pointless mostly within the main game), I just haven't found anyone with them.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

I put Tarukaja and Rakunda on my MC so I'll always have those on me. Working out pretty well so far.

 

[CSX]

Got mudoon and hama on my skill set. Hopefully my high luck kicks into gear and I can start instant killing on sight

I'm trying to get War Cry whispered onto my MC, should free up a skill slot for something good.

 

[anotherVegan]

Should I buy this game? I have been craving a unique JRPG experience, but I just bought Animal Crossing and Pokemon is right around the corner. My main concern is finding time to play the game.

For those that already have it, can you save anywhere? Is the game suited for short bursts of play?

 

[duckroll]

Welp. I'm trying to beat the Madness of Phantoms challenge quest in Shinjuku, and I was having a great time beating the Insane Hordes, but the boss at the end just wipes me. No weaknesses, too much HP, and he has Fatal Sword and Blight. RIP. I think I'll just try this shit later. Lol.

 

[totowhoa]

There is save anywhere. I find myself playing in both short and long bursts, but I feel like its more suited for lengthier play sessions... definitely have the option though.

You can save anywhere you'd like. As someone looking for a unique JRPG experience, I think you're in for a treat with this. I'm not sure about short bursts of play, though.

I'm only a few hours in, but I can safely say this is one of the better JRPG experiences I've had in a while.

My friend, you should buy this game. It will keep you occupied until Pokémon comes out.

This fight in Shinjuku was kicking my butt for a while but I caught the demon wasting a turn to wipe my debuff off himself. Kept doing that so he couldnt act so many times and spam Blight and Fatal Sword.

Yea I was on life support just trying to get my buffs and debuffs. Once u get those in , its doable. Also boss is a lot easier if u get the first turn against the last horde and u can kill it in one turn. That way u don't waste turn 1 healing against the boss

Where do i even find the first one to start this? I was looking everywhere.

Does Luck really affect Hama and Mudo skills? I've got Mahama, and it supposedly has a 30% hit-rate, but it feels like it hits far more often that that.

I hope so, I adore Hama spells <3

Yep, that was my strategy for that fight. Any debuff will cause it to use dekunda. Pretty exploitable.

So, the Government Office Plaza mission.

Spoiler

Should I have let the demon live, or should I reload and kill it instead?

My party seemed really confused with me after the fight.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Are the HP and MP Restoration Apps useful, or do they work so slowly they're not worth it?

I'm definately getting the MP App first since I don't like to waste MP restoratives and that's the main reason I often backtrack out of Naraku.

Killing it is law, letting it go is chaos. That's pretty much all there is to it.

The MP app has absolutely been worth it for me.

I found the MP restoring app to be absolutely incredible. There are three tiers to it, and the third allows your entire party to regenerate MP while walking, as well. Henceforth, I know no longer held back whenever fighting. Spells all day, feels good. I also have a healing spell on my hero, so that negates the need for the HP healing app.

 

[Samyy]

So am I missing out on any cool apps if just invest in skill slots and demon slots

Hmm, yeah, I guess if I can restore my MP constantly, I don't need to worry about HP as I can use Dia.

Well, time to invest. Damn, choosing Apps is the most stressful part.

 

[Snowden's Secret]

Ahhh help with the hooded man's nagas. Their lunge attacks always critical and ohko any and all of my dudes, even with the defense buff up.

Spoiler

I just beat that loser, lol, was driving me crazy too XD Start buffing in-between hitting weakpoints on the last hoarde. Also if you're a high enough level, fuse Makami [he's an Avatar type, lv 32], he knows Tetrakarn[reflect phys/gun attacks for 1 turn] which is lifesaving AND does more damage for you~ Also watch out for Mamudo, and keep a spare Chakra Pot handy if you have one saved from your travels, that skill eats MP. Good luck!

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Anyone know of the demons that fuse with Makara?

Took me several tries to beat that one. I tried to get as many buffs up before I had to fight the boss and then used my strongest attacks. Everyone died except my MC but it worked eventually lol

 

[katkombat]

This game is nothing short of badass. Loving the futuristic-past feel (I'm sure there's a word for that, just can't think of it.) of the game. Burroughs is badass too.

lol at the character Walter though, I was gonna name my character Walter after Walter White from Breaking Bad...glad I didn't.

Anyways what's up with Issachar? I'm only like 35 mins in but there's no way that guy won't come back.

This game is balls hard as well, if I switch to easy, will it penalize me? Will I get a different ending for being a pussy?
