Heh, yeah... can never understand what is being said myself without looking up the lyrics. Always emphasis on wrong syllables and the like. Don't get me wrong, still love the music for both Persona 3 and 4, but sometimes I feel it would be better if she sang in Japanese so I didn't have to wonder whether or not she was actually speaking English if you know what I mean.

@Kowbrainz: There are native English speakers whose lyrics can be almost as hard to understand, e.g. Thom Yorke.

I notice that some of the physical spell attacks have similar descriptors (Med damage 1 enemy/all enemies) I did the same thing, I think. Thumbs down on Atlus' part making it hard to tell what is the difference off hand, without a guide to boot...

I agree. There are like 10 medium physical skills, but the highest damage one can probably do about 3x the damage of the weaker ones, and you have no idea which one is which. Getting the damage/accuracy/crit% ratings would be awesome.

The ones you get later are stronger than the ones you got earlier. This wasn't really a big deal to me.

Edited by notsonic - July 07, 2009 at 9:11 AM

i had no idea different physical moves had different properties. itd be nice if there was at least a hint at that in the description. (aside from the ones that say theyll cause a status effect.)

like chie's single target physical skill before god hand (rainy death)...it didnt do any more damage than a normal attack, and you got god hand in just few levels after. whats the point?

Posted by gkozma - July 07, 2009 at 9:14 AM

i also feel they made a mistake with chie there but since they dont seem to use physical attacks anyways im not sure itll matter much..

That's a nice looking dungeon. Atlus made a fantastic job. They should release persona 4 to the 360 and release DLC for the rest of eternity. That way, Endurance Run would never end!

Posted by BulletStorm - July 07, 2009 at 10:21 AM

I was yelling at the computer when you guys didn't forget rampage for heat wave but whatever, that's why I've got my copy of Persona 4 =P

And Naoto's dungeon looks pretty cool too but I miss the rave music from Rise and Kanji's dungeons.

Posted by Eros - July 07, 2009 at 12:52 PM

@BulletStorm: Why would you do that? You do understand that you get a different chance to crit with every single attack, so while Rampage and Heat Wave do similar damage, Rampage has a much higher crit ratio. And in Jeff and Vinny's play style they only use physical attacks when they are aiming for the crit or the enemy is already too dead for it to matter.

Black spot crit the previous dungeon boss a lot. Like, a lot a lot. Skull Cracker hasn't confused anyone in awhile, it's last use was critting enemies. Which Black Spot did a lot.

So, banana.

Edited by Zeik - July 07, 2009 at 2:48 PM

Watching you guys get rid of Black Spot over Rampage had to have been the most frustrating thing I've watched you guys do so far. Fortunately that wasn't one of her most powerful skills, but it will be quite awhile until you get another single target physical skill to replace it...

I usually don't like to say much when you guys do something stupid, since it's usually not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but that was a really really bad move.

Oh well, it just means the game will be harder for awhile, not impossible.

They started waiting for them to turn because people complained that they didn't. Which is a good thing. If they don't wait for them to turn, not only are they playing carelessly which is just plain not fun to watch (far worse than several extra seconds of waiting), but the battles take longer and they end up losing more health and using more SP, taking more frequent exits from the dungeon, spending more money on the fox... Not waiting on the shadows to turn around is just worse for them and for us in every conceivable way.

They went down the steps and punched out of the dungeon, that's pretty much it. Nothing to write home about.

This dungeon's music is a tad boring but Yukiko's Castle by far has the worst dungeon music. I always felt pressured to finish it.
Void's Quest is so far the best. Its quirky and its the best.

Don't want to give anymore spoilers but the next dungeon's music is a good one too. it gives a sense of a calm before the storm deal.

Posted by RVonE - July 07, 2009 at 4:20 PM

Man, I usually don't get riled up by the choices you guys make but trading heat wave for black spot? Seriously? Get rid of rampage and, also, understand that skull cracker just isn't effective anymore so dump that skill too.
Black Spot is Chie's best skill untill Agneyastra and God Hand.

But anyway, for the most part you guys are doing great. Btw, I think this dungeon is great and the music is a good change of pace after all the more up-tempo themes in the other dungeons.

Posted by SaraHysaro - July 07, 2009 at 4:25 PM

I liked Naoto's dungeon music. It was mellow and kept me calm. Didn't match the setting at all, but it helped me stay somewhat happy when I had to backtrack to a previous floor to get a key to go down to the final floor. I wasn't expecting a Pokémon Secret Hideout twist to this game, though in hidesight I probably should have.

I wonder if they'll complete the dungeon "today" (9/17) or if they'll pop out to do some social linking. I mean, it's not a long dungeon from what I can remember, forced backtracking aside.
