Its pretty annoying MP doesnt refill at save rooms or on level ups. Got to some enemies that cannot be defeated without MP. Now i have to go back to the city. Guess ill buy as many MP potions as i can.

what difficulty are you playing it on?

[JonDnD 3,075]

Suicide didn't work either . Whatever default is . I might change it to easy tho because of that 

[Remij 5,101]

I heard that was an issue especially in later dungeons where you basically run out of MP with no way to restore it and you basically can't proceed.

 

Hopefully they tweak that shit before I get around to playing it.

really? it should give you an option after the "game over" message. also, are you killing enemies while running around, or just jumping into battle with them? i find clearing out areas, without engaging in much turn-based encounters, provides plenty of mp.

yeah, story mode gives you that option. fuck having to take breaks for mp LOL. i haven't had to that here (unlike with persona 5), but it's a good option to have imo.

yeah, but way better. the dungeons/palaces are more like long missions full of sub-missions.

It’s a whole different vibe. Yeah, it feels like persona, but then it flips the script.  The game is more like a series of exploration, deeper character development, with smaller dungeon-like areas, broken into quests (ultimately leading to a boss or bosses)0. There are save points galore. The archetypes are dope AF and the game rewards you for exploring each one (leveling up one 10–20 times is a prerequisite for an even beastlier one, in a similar class - like going from mage to wizard).  If you don’t want to worry about dying or mp, play it on story mode. It’s truly a game for everyone. Way darker story than any of the persona titles.

How is the time management stuff? Does it give you enough opportunities to complete side quests and get to know all the characters?

[JonDnD 3,075]

It feels exactly like Persona to me so far. I only just beat the first dungeon so far. Im glad i dont have to take tests tho.

Oh yeah. The creators didn’t want players to feel like they needed guides. I’m making great progress.

It starts to become its own thing mid June and on. I’m at the end of July, and shit has gotten dope AF.
