You're probably not underleveled. That particular side story means that you're probably further in their progression than the game intended you to be. I managed to find a slight continuity error because I had done a side story that quickly glanced over some very story important details, which were later explored in detail in an actual story scene later on.

Nah, chapter 3 end is 33.
Oh yeah, thinking about it, I was around level 40 at the end of Chapter 4.
That does sound underleveled; wonder how they made it that far.

*Chapter 1 dungeon*
"Tsubasa's new carnage is ready!"
Okay, I'll go to Bloom Palace and equip it, then come back to the dungeon.
"Itsuki and Tsubasa's Radiant Unity is available!"
Okay, time to go back to the Bloom Palace and return to dungeon afterwards again.
"Touma's new carnage is ready"
CAN I FINISH THIS FUCKING DUNGEON

I just go back if someone is all carnage maxed out.

The bloom palace travel is crap, they should have done it so you can access it directly from the dungeon and then go back right away. Kind of like Velvet Room in Persona 3 / 4.

I'm behind you guys now since I haven't had much time to play, but where exactly is tiki
Thanks!
=waifu in shibuya 106 in Tiki's side quest?
My only major complaint with the game so far. It's really stupid.
Boss room on the... Third(?) floor I think, just after the second warp pad

So... class promotions? Yes? When? How?
Yes. End of chapter 3. Master Seal.

There is a laptop in Fortuna that will tell you what you need to do in order to access the sidequests.

You can definitely do Tiki's first sidequest in the first interlude though I can't remember what the trigger was.

But it's still a pain to travel back.
YES, I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!!!
The worst part is that all this happened within the first five steps in the dungeon.
I already decided for myself I will only do this in chunks if I either have to return to heal or if I find a new shortcut/teleporter. Doesn't bother me that much anymore.

Touma needs to have Stage Rank 3. I did a few battles quickly in the dungeon and unlocked the first one.

I played this just enough to see a glimpse of the systems and I have to say this both awesome and Persona. It is amazing to me that so many people are expressing interest in Persona 5 and totally ignoring this game simply because it is on a Nintendo system.
This, it doesn't matter if its unlocked in BP. Only go when a carnage is maxed so you do not waste points.
Also try to craft spare carnage's before going into a dungeon for your party.
If a new Radiant Unity is available I just wait till I unlock the next warp point in a dungeon before exiting.
Doing this I have had no issues/complaints.
Haven't had any time, just finished prelude. Boss wasn't too much trouble, though I was surprised to see 1HP hits on the first boss. Saving anywhere is nice, as is the green healing blob things (which hopefully I don't have to dump cash in in the future). Battle seems to really push you towards Sessions which means constantly using EP, so managing that will become important, but that's no different than a Persona game I guess.
I'm going to be missing this second screen when looking up weaknesses in P5 for sure.

I put about 5 hours into this, this weekend. Really pleased with how Persona-esque this game is. Localization changes still puzzle me, but at least the core game play is on point.
Agreed. I've started to just ignore the messages, then go back and buy in bulk. Still takes way too long (should have had a fast travel or a door in each dungeon that takes you to the bloom palace). Side quests can also be pretty annoying going back there every time.

I'd just be okay with a Bloom Palace option on the Access Map
EP conservation and money is such a non-factor in this game that it makes all the quality of life abilities like "regain a bit of health at the end of a battle" or "if this character is dead at the end of a battle, they revive with 1 HP" utterly useless. I can't imagine that changes in Hard; you can always exit a dungeon whenever and quickly end up where you were thanks to warp portals and shortcuts.

My special edition is finally arriving in the mail today! Finally!
You know, I'm pretty surprised with where they go concerning Eleonora and the "halfu" stuff sometimes (Side Story spoiler): http://i.imgur.com/mjbikpR.jpg
Didn't think it'd be very important, but it's pretty crucial regarding her identity and motivations. It's like the stuff P Studio seems to want to tackle with Anne Takamaki in Persona 5.

Doesn't seem so, but I do it too. Hate having even just one tiny corner that hasn't been uncovered.

So this game is dope? I'm gonna get it to play it when I get back home later this week.
Yep, the 6 loading screens that exist between the dungeon and quickly crafting your next skill or upgrade is pure horseshit. Really hard to believe they didn't factor in a better shortcut.

So I'm really interested in this game. I love the art direction and concept but rarely play JRPGs and have never played a Fire Emblem game. Should I just grab it? Anyone else coming from a similar point of view?
Want to jump in but probably will go digital. Questions ->
-Is the combat and dungeon exploration too tedious, how much if any? Some reviews mentioned that.
-I heard that the game has some imaginative puzzles within the different levels/environments but how is the turn-based combat? Is it interesting, fresh?
Thanks.

In chapter 1, Touma's first carnage unity (god these names) requires a drop from the 106 lower level. I've been here in the section with the blue and red dresses for far too long. Which enemy drops what I need?
Edit: I assume lower level means before the first boss. And I've gotten both performa drops from all of the enemies I've faced so I assume it's something I haven't seen yet.

I personally love the combat, but I'm a huge Megaten fan so I was fully expecting to.
At its core, it's a system about exploiting weaknesses. So you cast spells enemies are weak to in order to do more damage. This game does have some unique mechanics to make it more complicated. Every time you hit a weakness, characters can followup with with specific skills to start session combos. This is huge because you can hit with one attack to start a damaging chain. There are more mechanics as well, such as Ad-Lib Performances which randomly trigger and so on. They all tend to work pretty well.
I'm only on Chapter 3, but I don't find it tedious at all. I've heard some complaints that the session combos go on a little too long later on, but you can skip through the animations for moves with long startups at least.
I really like the dungeons so far. Much better than the Persona games in that regard. I find the dungeon crawling to be pretty addictive myself.

"Never said I wasn't a hypocrite."
I was just thinking the opposite. I really dig this game, but I can't help feeling that I'm constantly lost in the dungeons. It's not that they're too big it's that everything looks the same and the map system for something like the

I'm pretty sure there is a skill you can use to teleport to Fortuna Studios from anywhere? Torpa or something like that?
I'm up to Chapter 2 now and two questions:
The sidequests from the
- those are, I'm assuming, repeatable? Since they didn't go away after the first time.
And second, what the heck is with that sidequest in Daitama that puts you against lvl 24 Dark Mages...Like damn, I was only lvl 16. I didn't stand a chance!
