Thread 719787191

Post party member setups.
Rate them.
Autistically argue about each others choices.
This is objectively the most minmaxed endgame setup in P4 if you give chie the spell master accessory.

In FF12 Revenant Wings I ended up with

>Basch
For late game stuff, their AoE abilities + Vaan buffed up Anastasia made them the strongest.
Also Flying units get shredded by enemey AoE spells

>>719787323
Chie is right there. Are you saying shes a tranny?

>>719787191 (OP)
I vaguely remember I used the same setup for the OG back way way back when, even for Margaret. 2 phys damage dealer from Chie, MC for support, Yosuke for???? Emergency masuku? Yeah I forgot why did I bring him. Extra damage dealer I suppose.

>>719787509
Brave blade is better than burning petals. A lot of people have the misconception that burning petals is the highest damage magic skill in the game because the game doesn’t give you the actual power values.
The other reason why Yosuke is better is because phys skills on top of being stronger outside of being unable to hit elemental weaknesses can crit.

Depends on boss actually but the best party member in all situations is objectively Haru.

Pic related + Kevin.
I’m guessing for TC it would be Agate since AOE is important in the final boss

+ Eiko
I think this is the endgame setup people would least argue about.

>>719788091
Oh yeah, Brave Blade is the shit, I forgot about that no thanks to my over reliance on Charge+God's Hand. Now my problem is I forgot who'd I use for healing. I didn't think I ever use MC for anything but de/buffs and a little bit of damage.

>>719789886
Assuming its p4g, Yosuke learns up to Diarama, his lategame skill is Mediarama + Masukukaja so he can play healer for the final dungeon and Margaret. Generally speaking though, you won’t really need healing all that much thanks to items and this is purely from a min-max perspective, as you play through the game who is best varies, for example Chie is consistently utter dogshit almost the entire game until she gets God Hand super late while Kanji remains generally consistently good. Teddie is an amazing support character until Kanji learns Matarukaja, etc.

>>719787191 (OP)
Since FFV has a static party of 4 I'll just describe the job combos I used for everybody on my recent playthrough
>Butz
Main Job: Dancer
Side Job: Cannoneer (!Open Fire)
>Lenna
Main Job: Berserker
Side Job: Thief (Artful Dodger)
>Krile
Main Job: Oracle
Side Job: Summoner (!Call)
>Faris
Main Job: Blue Mage
Side Job: Red Mage (!Dualcast)

The idea was simple. Bartz sits in the back and shoots people and sometimes Dances. Lenna sits in the front and just spams attacks over and over at the speed of sound. Krile is on Predict and Call duty so there is zero consistency of any kind. Faris is the backup if I need immediate healing, quick damage, or some niche Blue Spell to save my retarded party.
I don't play the GBA version all that often so I wanted to get some use out of the new jobs. It was a very fun playthrough.

>>719787191 (OP)
I played though p4 twice.
First time was chie yukkio and kanji with a balanced mc but i think my second time was a lot better
Teddie yukkio kanji with the mc hard carrying the damage output but thats probably because I understand persona building far better that time
The heal and the buff spells they have are helped my mc teae though bosses

>>719789479
Quina is broken and the best character in the game
Stupidly easy to aquire early capped damage and mighty guard
Vivi is probably the weakest desu but not having a blm in a ff game feels bad
Statistically best party is probably zidane quina freya and amarant

>>719787191 (OP)
The objective is Maximum Pleasure.

>>719792727
Vivi can deal max damage without having to do anything stupid like the frog minigame.
Both Vivi and Eiko can deal 9999 damage twice when trancing.
Steiner is the earliest to reach the 9999 damage cap with his regular attack and with the shortest animations, he also has the best skills in the game.
I get that mighty guard is really good and I agree but Eiko can do the same shit with carbuncle and earlier too while not having to have specific conditions for her healing.

>>719793138
I wish ff games had more super bosses and optional super dungeons to really test these things out.
Its sad that ff9 has a potential intresting discussion but the only boss it remotely matters on is ozma and he actually dies really fast if you just full damage
The super mario rpg remake just added simple boss rematches with higher stats and new equipment drops for rewards which didn’t take much work since no new assets needed to be made and its so nice.
You might be right, but we don’t have a way to really challenge these setups without janky ass fan balance mods.

>>719792727
>freya
>kill like 100 dragons for your 9999 damage that can be used through mini
>amarant
>use consumables for your 9999 damage
>quina
>do this minigame for your 9999 damage
Honestly I get the game is easy enough that everyone can achieve max damage but why be so contrarian and pick the 3 characters that have tedious conditions to reach it as opposed to the straightforward characters that can act twice per round? Its just annoying and pretentious and you’re not even right

>>719793720
Nothing has that much hp in ff9, it was more for white wind and mighty guard.
Zidayne and amarant deal more than enough

>>719793875
>nothing has that much hp
Bosses do.
Amarant is just objectively the worst character.
You can make an argument for Quina with Mighty Guard but Eiko is just better with her offensive buffs and trance.

this is a very strange party
it's past matador party but only the fan girl is kept and the other 2 come after but the dog is kinda shit other than for fire breath clearing but that's only useful in the sewers pre-matador.
And oni is outclassed past matador.
explain yourself right now

>>719787191 (OP)
>Chie over Yukiko
Shit/10.
>>719794490
Barafag begone.

IMHO
Heismay, Eupha, Basilio.
I could also make an argument for a setup like
Junah, Basilio, Strohl
But I think that setup is too reliant on infinite press turns which is a gay way to cheese endgame bosses and doesnt have enough survivability for the toughest bosses. Maybe replace either strohl or basilio depending on preference with heismay

>>719797431
God hand does more damage than burning petals and she has AOE heat riser that becomes more manageable with the spell master accessory.
I just think that its objectively the most minmaxed party once Chie learns God Hand because magic just fucking sucks in p4

>>719797431
Not barafagging, rosch has the biggest damage buff and Stocke can handle healing.
Gafka is objectively the best character in that game. If you absolutely don’t want to use Rosch then the choice would be either Marco or Eruca depending on what you value more: trans-turn or power rise.
I genuinely hope you’re not trying to say Aht is actually good cause you’d be outing yourself as a foo strat idiot and not someone who can make actual arguments or analysis.

I didn't make it. It's from a thread from around seven years ago.
>>719796692
No.

>>719787191 (OP)
The most fun party by far, but it sacrifices MC's damage potential by foisting the support role to him. Replace Yosuke with Yukiko. (Also Yosuke's crit rate is bad due to his thematically abysmal Luck stat.)

>>719792857
I prefer to run as a boy band: Kresnik, Cu Chulainn, and Yoshitsune. Mostly because I find them cool.

>>719799236
>forcing the support role on him
Kanji has matarukaja
Yosuke has masukukaja
Chie has dragon hustle by endgame
How is this sacrificing the mcs damage exactly?

>>719799754
>>>>>>>>>>dragon hustle

I cycle them throughout what little content there was left in disc 4 but pic related is my winning lineup for the superboss. Very weird mechanics and I have no idea how you were supposed to figure that out without looking up hints.

>>719799924
Yes dragon hustle. Just cut its SP in half using spell master

>>719800858
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>golden

>>719801049
>it has to be original
Kanji, chie and yosuke are still the optimal party comp because phys

>>719788882
Yukiko = party wide heals and usefull debuff
Yusuke = shitty single heal and the worst buff.

You shouldn't be giving a shit about party damage that's what the MC is for. Party members are for support and element coverage.

>>719802323
>useful debuff
Matarunda? How do you even have space for that by endgame?
Anyway I can agree that yukiko is better early on but by endgame none of what you mentioned is good. MC debilitates and Yosuke can aoe heal or you can just use items, curing debuffs is irrelevant. You might have a point if she learned marakunda, then maybe I’d agree

>>719802323
>You shouldn't be giving a shit about party damage that's what the MC is for
Optimal party comps also consider the parties damage. Especially in a game were the only debilitate user is mc and you have a minmaxed str party member with the strongest damage skill in the game (bar hassou tobi)

>>719803623
>>719803904
You dumbfucks need to stop talking about endgame like that's all that matters. Who gives a shit about Iza's dungeon. MC should be clearing every encounter with a single move and healing to full with Victory Cry by that time. The bulk of the game is about letting the MC do the big dick damage while the rest of the part consists of supporting that.

>>719804315
I am not only considering the final dungeon, I am bringing up the most minmaxed setup, that is impossible to determine early in the game because that varies depending on where you are in the game.
Also if you really want to bitch about yosuke being optimal for margaret then I can tell you this at least then
Teddie > Yukiko early to midgame since he learns attack and defense buffs early

>mc should he one shotting encounters with victory cry
Maybe if you’re in new game+ and level 99 or if you cheat since that skill is only on izanaginookami or a level 99 lucifer.
Cope already seriously

>>719798034
Are the female characters that bad? Just started this

>>719787615
This. Her magic is so strong that she can work as the only mage on the team and her heals are great.

>>719794490
She's secretly not that good anyway, no matter how much they screech she is.

>>719804315
>MC should be clearing every encounter with a single move and healing to full with Victory Cry by that time.
As usual personafags are illiterate
I finished this game both original and golden around level 70-80 and I highly doubt you’re actually going to imply you need to be 99 for izanami unless you’re a drooling retard (which i wouldnt put past you)
I think you should probably read up on when you learn skills before making claims like this.

>>719804690
>>719805031
nta, but you can get victory cry and other high tier skills in June by abusing the "skill change" Fusion Forecast. If you're going to talk about min-max set-ups or whatever you should at the very least know about this

>>719805031
>>>not skipping cutscenes to immediately do NG+ with Victory Cry
>>>>lv 70-80
You should be lv 99 by hour 30 then playing the game as a proper VN just coasting along

>>719798335
Kanji will probably become THE TANK of the group and take backshots like a pro.

>>719804843
Nah eruca and raynie are good. Aht is only good for random encounters and pretty bad for bosses outside of healing and has so much availability that if you overuse her she could stymie the growth of better characters
The only reason I say Rosch is good is because of his attack buff, but the only character who is objectively the best is Gafka because of his Musou skill.
You could rely on ahts traps throughout the game for easy kills on random encounters but trying to setup combos does more damage and whenever a boss covers all tiles she becomes useless

>>719805565
im not a lolipedo so it's fine

>>719805307
You know full well this is heavy rng abuse and not even fun

I think its pretty good

>>719805307
Even if you do this I fail to see how MC is one shotting everything in his path by izanamis dungeon unless you grinded. You dont simply stop abusing one more mechanics or buff setups simply because you have infinite sp restore (which you can achieve via other means early on anyway).
By that argument you also don’t need yukikos healing so why aren’t you going for the optimal party damage setup or utility (shield of justice or teddie buffs)

>>719787191 (OP)

>>719805805
Min-maxing doesn't care about fun unfortunately. Also the rng isn't that bad since you can easily fusion chain a few high tier skills and abuse inheritance to push the odds in your favor.

>>719806256
>Even if you do this I fail to see how MC is one shotting everything in his path by izanamis dungeon unless you grinded
AoE hama/mudo spells with hama/mudo boost clears most fights outside of bosses incredibly fast with no grind required.

>By that argument you also don’t need yukikos healing so why aren’t you going for the optimal party damage setup or utility (shield of justice or teddie buffs)

>>719806924

This applies to the last 3 dungeons, counting marie.
But fair enough to the rest of what you said. A minmaxed party is mostly based of bosses for this reason in particular.

>>719807514
So whats the obvious?

>>719807596
Its a pedo character. What do you think? Faggots like the guy you replied to base their entire arguments and personality on their fetish.

>>719807486
Remove Yukari for Aigis and you’d be right. Wild that so many people think the character with the lowest damage output is high tier though.

>>719807787
They ruined all Ape Escape threads.
I hate them.
They're probably also the reason we'll never get a new Ape Escape as well.

>>719787191 (OP)
Drop Chie for Yukiko and it'll be perfect. Yosuke and Kanji are amazing on their own, but Chie is completely unnecessary in this composition. Yukiko covers healing AND has a magic nuke if she has a free turn to do damage that doesn't require ANY setup. Yukiko's stupidly good.

>>719788554
You think I give a shit about "muh optimal party"? I just use who I like the most.

>>719808195
I went with Claude route, so my party was basically the same except Dias isn't able to join in that route so he's replaced with Rena. Going full retard melee group is actually pretty amazing in this game. Claude's also amazing because he has that AoE heal he can use while everyone wears the bloody armor or whatever it's called.

>You could have a party comp of a walking toaster, dog, and little boy in Persona 3
We need to return to our roots.

>>719792857
I personally like metatron and just built my party around him, spamming multihit moves to power up fire of sinai. Cherub is unironically pretty good, his ability lets all muti hit moves hit more times during the critical skill, and his own signiture is a piercing light multihit which is nice, argat is busted but everyone knows that and she's sexy as fuck so that's another plus. tears through most battles that aren't those fucked up super bosses.

>>719808195

I am using Ken/Koromaru/Mitsuru theres tons of things weak to light and dark here

Dunno about the rest yet but I see myself using Koromaru with Junpei/Aigis for bosses for now and lategame probably Ken/Koromaru/filler because of weakness exploit, for bosses probably Junpei/Aki/Aigis cause they all have extra damage multipliers.

t. Replaying the journey in reload on merciless after doing episode aigis on heartless.
Heartless made me appreciate the Ken/Koromaru combo a lot more because of Metis having wind/ice/strike, for exploration I’d say those two are the best, any other character you add can cover 1 more element they can’t but those 2 together give you the most coverage

nta but this OP never said that this thread was about party optimization autism, just to post rpg teams that you like and to judge others.

>>719809396

>Autistically argue about each others choices.
What exactly did you expect? That nobody would rate your team with autism and call it dogshit? Or that nobody would post optimized shit?

>>719809580
That is all expected, but you should also understand that some anons are going to come in here and just say that they make parties just based off of characters that they like.

I think that party optimization in JRPGs is usually gay anyways because those games usually aren't difficult enough to justify doing it. Like lmao optimizing your party in Persona, as if those games aren't all piss easy, it's like spending your time optimizing your teams in pic. You can do it, but I don't know why you'd bother.

>>719808415
I certainly am somewhat upset that the Dojimas never join the party in 4. Nanako would have made for an interesting party member like Ken and Ryoutarou for an old one, something that hasn’t happened since p2 and has been in side games at best recently.
P5 easily has the most boring cast ever. They tried to do the pet persona user thing again but ruined it by making morgana into a cartoon cat, everyone else in 5 is boring, except akechi i guess

>>719787323
Brosuke is a default add... not picking him reveals you're a shitter, especially if you replace him with Yukiko healslop. Yuu can switch persona if you need healing.
Chie is for tomboy supremacy.
Kanji has lightning abilities.making him default to high aesthetic.

>>719809861
Because its fun, just like optimizing useless shit or weak party members on purpose like kimarhi in ffx is also fun. Getting defensive about your favorites not being optimal is whats cringe.

>>719809861
I just like setting up good teams
Even spent 100 hours in that doing it just to see the crazy bullshit you can pull off, of course you can just autoplay even on the hardest difficulty but I still enjoy breaking games.
Fun things are fun even if pointless minmax or sexmaxxing like this pic.

These 4. Optionally if you feel like fucking around, you can replace Estelle with Patty.

I haven't played an RPG that requires me to minmax to such an extent

>>719810238
OOps meant to post this.

My Etrian Odysessy 3 party(Fighter, Hoplite, Monarch, Arbalist, Monk), recently started playing how is my line up?

>>719810586
Every post talking about aht in this thread has said that her traps are good for random encounters and bad everywhere else. The only reason why shes discouraged to be used whenever theres more than 3 members (including her) is because party members in reserve get less exp and shes completely useless for the toughest bosses in the game (because they take up all the enemy blocks meaning she cant use traps). Not only that even if its a boss where she can use traps setting up combos with literally anyone else does far more damage. If you want a magic character instead of ungabunga musou spam with Gafka, Raynie or Eruca are both better.

>>719810784
Obviously GBA version. In the ds version you can’t change your final party so they aren’t available.

>>719811074
No, every post in this thread about her has been whining about lolis.

>>719788554
>P5
For mobbing the best team is:
Ryuji
Yusuke
Morgana/Haru
Can cleanly kill every mob before they even attack.

For bossing you'd swap Yusuke for Haru. She out damages him pretty soundly and has way better utility.

>>719810239
Tear (forma de nuke), Natalia, Guy, Jade
Prove me wrong
I’ll wait

>>719812619
by the time you get Haru protag is screen clearing. Pointless to throw in another SP vacuum that does less.
she cute tho

>>719812712
I replaced Jade with Anise because I didn't need all those fancy spells. The rest of the team was the same though. Playing as Guy is way more fun than playing as Luke. Natalia's also a way better healer than Tear, so making Tear do big spell damage is better.

>>719812619
Bossing before or after yaldy?
Before yaldy I can soundly say the best party is what you say, mainly because makotos passive isn’t good until after her third tier evo and Haru is just that good.
After yaldy though, I think the best party setup for bossing will always include Akechi (tactical spirit) and Haru while for random encounters its definitely Makoto, Akechi, anyone (tactical spirit + checkmate and 50% basuidi debuff boost). Last slot will depend on what you need but Yusuke becomes far less useful at this point while makoto becomes really strong for technicals.

>>719812786
Haru is the best character for technicals and technically better phys than both Yusuke and Ryuji (you need Ryuji in any phys oriented party either way cause of raging temper).
Life wall is a downright necessity in the toughest boss fights in the game so I think its a bit silly to say she isn’t needed but its common for personafags to underestimate aoe repels.
Ken was similarly underestimated in 3, everyone thought his theurgy condition was everytime he went below half sp when in reality it was being in half sp or under everytime his turn came around and it was the FASTEST charge rate in your party.

>>719812938
Its hard to argue with this, I know limited and negative gate are stronger than whatever jade has but I like jades bigger variety in fonon circles.

>>719812786
>SP vacuum
Haru is best as a physical attacker. High crit rate on One-Shot Kill so she can baton pass to Joker, Triple Down is swift strike on steroids, and heat riser to buff protag.

I was talking about vanilla P5 where there isn't much of a post game. Not sure how she stacks up in royal exclusive content.

PSP version is based on the GBA version.

How the fuck do you make money in Radiant Historia?

Yosuke is clutch as wind comes in handy at the right times.

For me its Leaf, Redhood and Catherine.

Love me final party. Simple as.

First play through I had Albert and Rose. Second was Kongol and Haschel.

All loaded up with agility gems and the rest of the game becomes trivial

Replace Catherine with RoyalTea Victoria and everything melts.

Potato flowers in full bloom:
>Front row rogue
>Middle row cleric
>Back row warlock
Rogue dodge tanks while using various tools to apply debuffs, including a flask of oil that doubles the next instance of fire damage taken. Cleric buffs the rogue's evasion & bashes the enemy to amplify the damage they take. Warlock applies a bunch of buffs & debuffs, then blasts the boss with incinerate which deals fire damage based on the # of debuffs on the target.

I genuinely think Riki and Melia are the best characters in this game

Okay I am slightly interested in this game now. How is it in terms of:
>buff skills
>debuff skills
>tanking skills
>healing skills

>elemental weakness slop
this game was a snoozefest

Buffs & debuffs are pretty varied & useful, tanking is strong, but healing is not super relevant imo - the party heals to full after each fight, and it's more about preserving mana. It's kind of short & not very difficult, but it's cute and does some unique stuff with party composition. Because you only have 3 party slots but like 9 or 10 different classes, you always feel like you're missing something, and you're trying to set up small synergies. It has a very aggressive exp curve, which lets you create a fresh party member, bring them along to a midgame dungeon, and get like 10 levels in a single encounter, making it quite painless to experiment with party lineups.

Hm maybe I will try it then

>Gale dog is way too overpowered to overlook.
the AI isn't nearly smart enough to abuse it and in general takes too many hits as the squishiest character in the game, meanwhile yuri just kind of passively does stuff and while not being literally invincible when controlled can hit almost every element and is a combo beast

speaking of AI, I unironically think judy is better then raven as a party member. the enemy AI is designed to gang up on whoever is in P1 slot so if you put judith there and then moon selector over to who you actually want to play she'll do a great job using her speed/range to distrupt and knockdown all the enemies while you can follow up instead of having to constantly bait out attacks so you dont get slapped in the ass by birds. her AI is never going to do a 25 second jump cancel combo but judith doesn't require those to be good and the AI never makes mistakes in terms of the weird spacing bullshit that can cause her combos to fail if you don't constantly swap to semi auto that makes learning her so annoying. Raven (and estelle, but she's broken enough it doesn't matter) get confused on when is the best time to cast spells and when its time to phys damage and even if you turn off all his artes he'll still plink bowshots at the worst times while judith just kind of runs at them with a combo of bulk/speed and gets it done.

The point is controlling repede over Yuri because of gale dog.
Like I’m pretty sure that the optimal comp is 3 cast spammers (maybe even flynn over raven) and repede dodging everything with gale dog.

She cute, sadly she is completely worthless and has not one single redeeming quality
