I installed the latest patch of the game and I can’t get over how great the opening desert scene looks/runs now on Steam Deck OLED.  It went from the teens (in the vanilla version) to a locked 30 with AA, high texture quality, and 125% scaling (to get an even sharper image). Kudos to Atlus for further optimizing this game. The prior update had already mostly fixed the framerate issue. But this is butter smooth with AA. I’m surprised it’s not verified on the SD yet.

 
it’s unfortunate they can’t put these improvements on the ps5 version. The game is jaggy as fuck.

The smaa changed the entire look of the game .

 

Im playing at 175 res scale and locked it to 60 and with the SMAA it's very clean . You can actually appreciate the art now .

Yeah, I’m going to see if I can get 60 fps. I’m also going to see how much I can push the settings while maintaining 30.

I just beat the Goblin King. The ride to the next part is cool so far.

so i was chatting with a friend who is obsessed with this game. he showed me the numbers he was getting, which were like 8 times what i was getting. i think the main problem is that i played this game too much like persona, and i didn't truly utilize the strengths of the combat/buffs/debuffs/etc. i say...if you are getting stuck, or feel the difficulty is unfair, use a guide. my friend beat it on the hardest difficulty btw.

that’s good to know. I still feel like the game’s balance is off. The first optional dungeon had a rank of 2.5, but it was incredibly difficult especially the boss at the end. The next optional dungeon had a ranking of 2, but it was 10x easier for me. Stuff like this has not made much sense so far

yeah, there are definitely balancing issues for sure. i loved the game's ambition and ideas. however, i would like to see some future patches to smooth out the oddities. there's definitely a stellar game here. i'm going to eventually do a new game + and use a guide to maximize my builds.

Damn I thought jon was way further. Im approaching late June where Im at now. Its interesting how slower time moves in this compared to Persona

 

I do like the qol features, like being able to instantly know which followers are available for you to spend time with and also just being able to straight up fast travel to them.
