i finished persona 5  

i went for the true ending

[Himbo]

feeling, opinion, what's your impression of the game?

I'm happy with the ending, and i enjoyed the story overall

the gampelay is nice and  i would actually play it again if i have time 

i think there wasn't much time for everything tho, like some little tasks took the whole afternoon/evening (or the whole day in sundays)

so that wasn't fun

The music is good  

the anime videos are nice

it deserves the Best RPG award they received

 

i actually saw you guys comment a lot about it when the game came out, but i wasn't planning on playing it

so i'm happy that i got to play it

[Himbo]

Sounds like you had a blast and I do agree with the sunday's taking over an entire day had to run the game like 3 times just to platinum it , who is your faviourte girl in the game?

i should try getting the platinum someday 

probably Makoto , who's yours?

[Himbo]

Took me around 200+ hours for the plat

Defintally Haru xD _{most people don't like her though}

Honestly, Haru was my close second favorite

idk why anyone wouldn't like her

omg, last year i got the remastered Final fantasy 12  and the remastered dragon quest 8

i remember playing them in the PS2 and i actually never finished them

and the story is happening again 

i kind of want to get the platinum on P5 but i also want to finish those games

[Himbo]

i have so many games i have to finish before my holidays end D:

i want to get the platinum for Persona 5

i still haven't ended Final fantasy 12 ( i can go to the final dungeon, but i want to do side quests)

also i'm playing Tactics ogre (i think i'm near the end) and persona 2 on PSP 

and dragon quest 8 for the 3DS 

  i'm  clearly not the type that has to finish a game before starting another lol

[Himbo]

im the same, i stopped so many game because i started others, i need to stop being like this or i will end up not finishing any game. i already dropped some games for the sake of organization even tho i was quite far in the story -_-

anyways, do you plan to do all side quests in FFXII? the final dungeon its not so difficult as far as i remember, side quests are good to level up so the final dungeon and last boss should be easy for you. FFXII is such a great game <3

i should stop doing that too, i keep forgetting how to play some games

or what i had to do in the story

 

i don't know if i'll be good enough to do all the side quests ;-;

(i don't see myself defeating Zodiark  ) 

but i'm going to try to do most of them and collect some legendary weapons

last thing i remember doing was the special hunter quests (on that beach)

it's a great game indeed 

[Himbo]

start the side quests by the easiest and simple ones and than gradually go increasing the challenges and you'll be doing the hard ones. but tbh i dont remember how difficult they can get because i dont think i did all of them when i played. its been many years since i finished ffxii on ps2.... 

Zodiark was an intense battle when i fought it, i was so nervous, i knew it was the hardest esper, but fortunately i defeated him 

but yeah, if you do the best side quets (the ones who gives best/more experience/rewards) and get legendary weapons the last boss will be a piece of cake. FFXII last boss is one of the most easiest in the series imo.

i think i've already done a lot of missions

and i think the ones that are left are the most difficult ones 

actually, it's the 2nd time this happens to me with FF 12  , i played it on PS2 too and i never finished it either 

so i hope i actually finish it now

 

honestly, for me the easiest Final boss from the Series is probably the one from FF 15

but i haven't played many Fina lfantasies, and i yet have to fight the ff 12 one

[Himbo]

oh really??? did you played the original ou international version?? tbh im glad they made this remaster, i wanted to play the zodiac job system so bad because it seems so interesting and fitting in this game, but i only played the original and i only got to know the international version many years later when i didnt have ps2 anymore. So im glad they made this remaster and brought the zodiac job system back, but the thing is..... i dont have ps4    

i havent played ffxv but maybe its one of the easiest too 

but tbh, doing side quests makes everything easy 

 

i played the original version on PS2, and now i'm playing the remaster, 

i kind of like and dislike the zodia job system

some jobs are super limited comparing them to others

[Himbo]

really? i think job systems are always cool to have, it adds more variety to the gameplay 

it does, and it helps to keep balanced characters

but some jobs (like Breaker) aren't that good (or i haven't learned how to use it well)

[Himbo]

 

 

I really wish they remake Persona 3 with Persona 5 graphics. It's still my favorite Persona game. And I want to play it with Jp voice too because the Eng dub was ugh, it kind of hurt my experience and immersion :3

 

Also, Fuuka is too adorable. <3

i would love to play other persona games 

so it would be great if they did a remake :(((

right now i can only play P5 and P2 innocent sin

[Himbo]

Not sure if anyone is interested but Rainbow 6 Siege is having another free weekend, start this Thursday the 16th. 

omg, thank you!

[Himbo]

No problem. Love the sig by the way I remember saving hard to get Wii U back in the day just to play Bayonetta 2. 

hahaha, and did you get the Wii U at the end?

[Himbo]

Yeah, lol, eventually I was able to get it. I got the 8GB version the white one with Mario Kart and picked up Bayonetta 2 and Project 0 for it. 

i never got to have my own Wii U :(( 

you did good choices on games 

[Himbo]

i think i might give up on the platinum for persona 5 (for now)

 

i'm just about to finsh the 2nd to last palace, and i couldn't max out the sun confidant so i lost that trophy 

haven't finished all books, i still need some more personas for the compendium (i have satanael tho )

and i didn't buy all the drinks 

 

aaaand i can't defeat the Twin wardens (how did you guys defeat them?)

 

so i think i'll finish the story for the second time and i'll play FF XII now

[Himbo]

For the twins I just used yoshimitsu and spent like all my yen trying to create the perfect being from there it was pretty easy xD.

 

You need to increase your speed in reading, honestly it's one of the eaiseist things to do.

 

As for getting all drinks make sure you keep track of the ones you have and note them down, should be easier during October time as you'll have most of the locations.

 

I ran through the game three times (Japanese first time, English second, speed run 3rd). After second time most of your trophies should be unlocked if not all (I just made a horrible mistake of ignoring one important side quest).

 

 

 

 

Edit: Also just finished chapter 1 of trails in the sky sc and it seems pretty challlanging,

officially finished it for the second time 

 

something i forgot to tell is that i felt bad everytime i reached max confidant level with the girls and i friendzoned them 

i'll finish FFXII now,

and i'm starting to have fun playing Persona 2 on the psp

[Himbo]

omg i defeated Zodiark on FF12 just on the second try   

i really thought i wouldn't defeat it, like ever, cause i searched on internet how to kill it

and everyone said it was super hard (even when everyone had like super genji armors and a the strongest weapons,, etc)

 

but i actually won, even though i only have the zodiac spear and the excalibur (now i have 2 zodiac spears RIP)

 

 

i was planning to just go to the final dungeon, but maybe i should try to kill Yiazmat (it's quite boring seeing it's life)

[Himbo]

YAY Congratz!!

 

i think i didnt kill yiazmat when i played, i think he is harder than zodiark.

but if you want some challenge i think you should try... you know, as i said before the last bosses are not that challenging..  but yeah, good luck! 

thanks! 

the only thing that stops me to fight it, it's his long ass hp bar 

an hour battle isn't fun at all

at least i can scape from the battle whenever i want, but i have to be careful that it doesn't cast regen

[Himbo]

wow, this seems interesting, i didnt know it take that long to defeat him, this makes me eager to fight him when i play this game again next time. i love this kind of challenge, it may be frustrating but it also makes you want to get stronger and try again

 

and this is how im feeling with final fantasy tactics war of the lions right now, i already beat the original game, but now im playing this version and the fact this game is still frustrating remain, i thought i was strong enough but the batlle im at its too difficult and its so damn frustrating.... i will have to grind some more or attempt a new strategy for the battle... but anyways, sometimes the rage is real. 

That's true

i'll try my best to defeat it!

 

and girl   that Ff Tactics is super hard, i could never finish it,

mainly because of that part where you had to fight 3 times without a break

and when your units died you couldn't have them again

so it was horrible when you had the role you wanted for your character ready and the enemies killed that character

so you had to start from zero to have the role again 

 

besides Magic was OP?? like it was super strong

[Himbo]

yeah thats true, i never allowed my character to die because i wont starting it all over again, hell no. thats why you have to revive them before the 3 turns countdown ends. when the character vanishes i just restart and try again. and thats why this game can take a long time to beat, especially if you are a slow gamer like me, spending your time in that menu managing the characters, their jobs, etc and the battles also can be really long, even normal battles when you need to grind takes some time.... like really, thats some dedication you have to put in this game. And yeah, when you go to the parts with many battles in a row its really challenging....

i think im in the last chapter of this game finally, i taking my sweet a s s time to do all the quests in each city which take many days (in-game) to complete but it will be worth it, i already beat it before so no rush. i hope i can find balthier in this game, i cant wait to see my husband 

personally, i'm used to level up while advancing in the story like on the GBA  or the DS tactics

so when i tried with this game, i found myself short of level while going fast with the story  

 with this game i learned that i had to level up in common  battles to not die in the important missions (and it took me a lot to understand)

 

i hope you get to see balthier!

[Himbo]

oh i played the GBA one and i really liked it! its not so frustrating like the original (i didnt tried the DS one)

but yeah, usually you have to stop the main story for a while and grind some levels before progressing, its a slow process but needed to get stronger. but not only the main level but also the level of the jobs. i learned just recently about how the job system of the War of the lions works (i never really dig into it in the past because i managed to pass anyways, with pain but i passed), but now with this new version im learning the importance of level up some jobs to get new and better jobs. the only problem now is the money because the best equipments cost a ton. i also took some time to understand the job system in the GBA one, but at least there was in-game and faster compared to this game, i had to search online to understand the job system of war of the lions  

The DS one is good too!

Honestly, the job system on the game is nice, but it was kinda lame to level up some weak jobs to get another

some of my fave jobs were the hardest to get 

[Himbo]

i finally passed the part i was stuck but the next battle is also hard. i will just surrender for now and go back on grinding... until the next battle is more easy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

omg! good luck on the next stages! 

[Himbo]

omg i found balthier  

 

i got surprised because i didnt think i would find him so easily, i was just doing some more sidequests and BAM *starts a cutscene*

 

 

 

 

 

lmaoo

 

i took screenshot of almost every line of their convo, so good 

 

 

 

but anyways, my life is complete 

now i still have to find other extra characters like ff7's cloud.

wait , their appearences are always random?

or you have to do special stuff?

 

Picked up Disgaea 3 for like $10 at my closest game store today. Have P5, FF9 and FF12 in the backlog as well after Tales of Berseria. Undecided on which to play next.

my most favorite game is FF9 

10/10 would recommend 

 p5 and ff12 are really good too.

 

i'm not much of a fan of the disgaea games, i played 4 and it was super hard :(

+ i didn't understand much how it worked

[Himbo]

they have especific ways to get them, Balthier's quest is very simple to find, you just go to a certain tavern and read the rumors there. His quest its different from Luso (the character from ff tactics DS) because Luso appears when you are in your way to continue the story so its impossible to miss him. i hear Cloud is more difficilt to get because you have to do some other stuff to find him, i dont know if i will be able, but i will try by myself, otherwise i will have to read online on how to get him   and also there's other extra characters you get doing different quests.

my flop ass would have searched online from the very beginning 

hope you find cloud without internet

[Himbo]

i stopped the main story to level up and do an extra sidequest to just to get killed faster than before 

im so done 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

that game is just Too hard
