Realistically anything works, you won't brick yourself even on Hard or Regicide. Common consensus is a hybrid STR/MAG/AGI is best.
>"What is the best team comp?"
Just about everything works, do whatever you like the most and it'll work on any difficulty.
>"How should I manage my time?"
There's more than enough time in the game to 100%, do whatever you'd like.
>"Which royal virtues should I focus on?"
Prioritize eloquence and tolerance and avoid courage boosts.
>Royal Slash scales based on the higher of your STR or MAG.

let's merge with /pg/

>>532470449
nah

I bet /pg/ wants any reason to not talk about persona at this point kek

>>532470468
/eog/ outlived us, it's over

>>532470818
/eog/ falls off of page 10 literally all the time and has monthlong threads

Moving to a slower board like /vrpg/ could help, less pressure to constantly bump the thread and maybe a clearer headspace for meaningful discussion.

>>532471351
If /vg/ gets any rougher during the usual off-hours here something like that might be meaningful, but /vrpg/ is about as dogshit as /v/ just much slower. Really we just fell off by being ever so slightly less active during an already dead period

>>532471351
It was already proposed before, but the schizos here are really insistent in keeping a /vg/ general even if nothing is being discussed.

>>532471521
really need to get over yourself

too much gachaslop and liveservice slops on /vg/
I don’t see any real reason to keep sticking around

>/vrpg/
ehhhhh the cons vastly outweigh the pros
It's not like last thread was especially slow, it was better than the last few threads actually since the concert happened

>>532472081
what's so bad about /vrpg/?

>>532472176
>what's so bad about the board that Reantacos got banished to

>>532472259
you're saying this while sharing a board with hoyoniggers

>>532472435
they stick to their gacha shitholes though. /vrpg/ is just a crummy community

You don't want Maria to be homeless do you

>>532472974
we're just moving son

I don't trust the opinions of anyone that posts regularly during these hours

https://x.com/stud_zero/status/1948234847505588356
Metaphor got the CEDEC award for Visual Arts Excellence

>>532473835
sir another DEI award has just hit metawoke

>the thread died during the same time window where there's been maybe 5 posts max from 1AM-8AM Eastern for months
Not really shocking

>>532471351
>>532471521
"Discussion" is just a buzzword you guys like using since you hate this game because of some nonexistent DEI boogeyman and don't want to see it on this board anymore
The irony is, if the Persona team ever collects enough testosterone in a test tube to actually show P6 to the world it's going to end up being the most incoherent reddit friendly left wing shiftest anyone's ever seen for fear of losing even a cent of burger dollars. Will love to see how the discussion goes for that

>>532477012
>Persona
You're the one playing the boogeyman card harder than anyone
/meta/ is literally the only reason I even bother with this board anymore. I’ve said it before, right after TGA ended I already knew something like this was inevitable. I’d rather we just move to some slower board, anything to avoid the constant chore of necrobumping.

less hyperaggression more gallibutt

we must gather help from our friends at the Metaphor Discord

There's a limit to how much of this stupidity I'm willing to put up with

/pg/chuds are laughing at us again..................

>>532481348
STOP IT
ITAI.......

All this shitposting about /eog/ meanwhile they're teetering on the edge of page 10 like they are constantly every day regardless of the hour

>>532484301
it’s more about the humiliation of being compared to /eog/ of all generals despite being the new forefront of Atlus

>>532484571
There is no comparison, /meta/ is more than twice as fast as /eog/

>>532484705
we're not fast enough to outpace post raidou demastered /smtg/ and we're nowhere near the traffic of /pg/. The only thing we can compete with is an IP whose latest game came out a decade ago

>>532484705
Do you really think klingerfaggot doesn't know that already

>>532484301
It's literally just the one nutjob posting between here and /pg/

still, idk why we don't just move to /vrpg/

>>532485872
that or we move to 8chud. The latest migration we had there retained a lot of /meta/ posters and it's comfier though the site is a bit laggy to use

>>532486069
>8chud
yeah no way
christ's sake no one is retreating into a hole because the thread got deleted one time during consistently dead hours

what do you guys even talk about nowadays?

>>532486332
louis gloves
fairy feet
the concert
the exhibition whenever a japanese person is brave enough to post concept art that wasn't released yet
mod anon's posts

>>532486332
Nothing. This game's story is an AoT knockoff, but it's too shallow to sustain any discussion like AoT did years after it ended.

>>532486332
this zoomer also recycles all his shitposts on end >>532486474

I remember when /meta/ was getting 200 posts per hour
you kids wouldn’t believe it

>>532487195
not a single one of your posts is funny

I'm just glad that shitty OP is gone lmao

>>532487508
are you scared of sexy women?

>>532487554
Didn't see any

real blackpill: the moment Vesk died was the moment /meta/ died

>>532488079
>Vesk died
???
she's alive though

>>532488079
>the moment someone who actually turned out to not be the only person capable of uploading shit for Atlus games got shitcanned was the moment anything happened to /meta/
I don't follow

>>532488218
All her stuff got nuked and she went back into hiding
I'm still pissed that the Metaphor rips archive got wiped with no backup, at least last I checked. A lot of cool UI designs and visual components from the game and event websites vanished.

Atlus fans don't even consume the kind of content Vesk was putting out anymore
/meta/ is slow because it's 1 game with no news besides marketing events aiming to string things along through the rest of the year

we need the rerefantazio switch 2 version

>>532488423
Vesk’s the only autist dedicated enough to rip and freely upload all the new Metaphor content and book releases, and /meta/ is too broke to afford anything, aside from that one Louisfujo who's well off enough to buy merch and fund the orchestra concert recording.

>>532488949
Wait for the Nintendo direct that will definitely redeem Nintendo's god awful showing for this year

>>532489028
I'll have you know that the future press guide still smells amazing and it still remains unopened

>>532489225

Rui-sama...

>>532488949
The switch 2 would brick itself because too much Louis

>>532493397
true the re-release will have even more of his glory

>>532496747
are you a girl?

>>532497068
nope

Sex with eupha

>>532489028
>who's well off enough to buy merch
The concert louisfujo isn't the same as me who buys merch and doujins fujo. I also already have all the exhibition pictures thanks to a chinese friend who took them without permission but I won't post them because you guys suck

>>532502343
I'm the one who bought the concert and I did get some official and fan-made merch but I'm still waiting for bigger stuff like a scale. At least my canvas should come next week.
Shame you won't post the pictures, I'm still sad there was nowhere to see the archdemon Louis design. If you won't post them can you at least describe some stuff that wasn't talked about much?

Alright that's enough foolishness

>>532502343
post it

>>532503549
Unsure if you mean "wasn't talked about" by nips or ITT, I scoured a lot of nip posts during the first exhibition to know details and some said too much some said too little (and some of them were saying fake things).
Relevant to Louis, I know
>his archdemon/destroyer charadrius form wasn't designed by soejima
>concept art of destroyer charadrius looked more like a biblical angel
>Louis's black heart supposedly has golden veins and he bleeds golden blood (what?)
>Louis's archdemon form actually had gradient hair and deep emo-looking mascara which I thought is cute
There wasn't actually a lot about Louis which disappointed me, I remember hearing a nip post saying that his destroyer form was supposed to have flower petals falling but that was fake (or I didn't see it, I dunno. It's definitely not on his overall description)
Non-Louis things
>eugiefs were deer people which you can see >>532257686 that I had posted as a test
>rhoag were originally based on liches but that was changed, you can also see paripus were just kemono furries
>actually a buttload of tribes were just furries (paripus, eugiefs, ishikia, clemars)
>there are traffic lights and plastic cups in euchronia
Unsure what other things are relevant to people that isn't already knowledgeable or what isn't.
You can see a bit of the concept art wall here in this jp page https://www.gamer.ne.jp/news/202503070037/ and even when looked at directly, there isn't a lot of commentary.
The spoiler section only has the outfits at the endgame, the King archetype design, and a whole wall dedicated to Louis. But aside from picrel, they don't have much commentary about him. I only cared about Louis and More and there's barely anything about either aside from Louis's archdemon design and "proto" design

>>532505685
Oh yeah, I forgot about Louis's extremely slutty looking "4" on his thigh. It's real. This artist also placed the "Louis's own sin is that of Envy" which was also in his character notes. The real "4" on his thigh looks better than this though

>>532505685
yeah some of this stuff I heard before but some also not, so thank you! I would have loved his archdemon form to have more mascara....
I think the only thing I heard but was never sure about, was that there was something about why Zorba was so loyal to Louis. Do you know anything about that?
Not hearing more about Louis and More in relation or even about More himself much, is a shame, too. I'm still coping a re-release might give us that.

I do hope we get an actual artbook soon and they include more stuff. Was your friend in Tokyo or Osaka? I read there is some new stuff in Osaka.

>>532506772
they shouldn't have removed this, it's pretty hot

>>532507543
>was something about why Zorba was so loyal to Louis. Do you know anything about that?
If it was an specific "he's loyal to Louis because (reasons given)" no, there wasn't anything. I think it might have been someone's wishful thinking, but there's only a vague "he's very loyal to Louis" (which is just his regular description).
Some nips were saying that supposedly the Prince's expression sprites were new but they were already in the first exhibition and I guess it's new to them but they don't know they're datamined already.
I wasn't in the Tokyo exhibit and neither did my friend so we can't say for sure what is and isn't "new" but according to some people, what was new was Alonzo and Bardon concept art circa their Re:Fantasy days. So, nothing about Louis.
More's art has him without horns so I think they were really insistent initially to make him supposedly like a "godly" being (that's also how he's described in the pamphlet, otherworldly)
I just want a proper artbook already but I don't know how much they'll milk the exhibition....

>>532507543
Mascara is pretty gay tbqh

Attendance at all these events is pretty high still so expect them to announce more exhibition dates down the line

>>532510639
>Attendance at all these events is pretty high
Not really, you can look at the posts of the exhibition account and most days are pretty empty

>>532510841
I mean that just shows that they're not selling out like the first one

>>532510930
Anon, that IS the first one. The second is the same. Tickets are always available

>>532510639
doing anything but work on the DLC

Persona won by doing nothing

>>532511126
Won the shit game contest sure

>>532511126
>dude muh popularity
god forbid people like something based on it's own merits and not the fact that there's high schooler romance in it

>>532511126
>p3 remake fell off almost right away and needed an entire year to get anywhere near metaphor's sales by March
>surviving entirely off of continued P5R sales
>no new game besides a remake of 4 that will do even worse

>>532511617
A year and a dlc and even bigger discounts*

e33 sold 5 millions in two days

>anon posts things relevant to the exhibition
>/meta/ would rather keep shitposting about sales and flopping

>>532512003
because it's not us, it's still that one guy mad that ffxvi lost at the game awards

>>532511838
>3 million sales in a month with a huge marketing stunt well beyond the means of any JP dev besides maybe Square Enix (doubt they can call up their prime minister and ask him for a plug tho)
Weak

>>532512446
we’re barely scraping 2 million after nearly a year without a sales update and people out here were assuming it already hit 3 million or someshit

>>532512003
>hurr why is there shitposting in the general does this game actually suck??????
Stay on /pg/

>>532512708
>barely scraping 2 million after nearly a year
That's P3R. Metaphor did that in half that time

I'm still at the point of expecting King and Queen variants of the final archetype down the line. Mainly because of the dialogue everyone has if you give them the Prince archetype

I was wanting to cook up some bullshit with them

>>532514934

>>532515220
Better than that

Do you think they had plans to do the rerelease before metaphor even came out like P5? We do know from those leaked presentations that SEGA wanted a Netflix mobile game for Metaphor well before release (and before the Netflix mobile thing apparently fell through) so none of the current follow up they're doing is reactive in any way

>>532512003
It's a nice summary but not really anything new
Also /meta/ women are too passive aggressive

>>532561979
I'm still here though

>>532563407
don't have much time left

>>532564652
nothing ever happens

the manga is too teen focused tbqh

>>532565667
Let's hope the anime is more true to the game then

>>532566112
Atlus had bettter not go with A-1 again because they seem to shit their pants whenever they have to adapt something with a real story in it

accept that this game flopped

Finally glows only pink
Yes I missed an emission color on the material
No I will not apologize

>>532565597
Yeah like on /meta/ lmao

>>532577881
please apologize

>>532603608
it's dookie

ngl I lost all motivation to play after getting to the final dungeon/ louis month. everything has dread and anxiety making all fights a slog. and it takes in game days to do anything so essentially any choice I make I am wasting it with something else I could of done. and honestly the more I think about it the stupider the gauntlet runner/ other game mechanics I find are. like you can teleport using it cannonically but you just can't teleport to dungeons? only specifically to where the game lets you teleport so you are forced to waste days doing anything. archetypes are honestly all dog shit as well the only way to get the most use is doing some meta build. the dating simulator mechanic still being a thing for confidants etcs its just all so dumb and gay i never even liked that in the persona games and its present here in the not persona game. I don't think i will complete this game,

>>532610885
play e33 instead

>>532610981
>parry slop

no thanks I installed that along time ago as well. there is pretty much no good rpg now and life is suffering.

>>532610885
This has to be AI generated

>>532611654
He could also just be retarded

>>532611654
Doubtful, AI is more coherent

Originally I wanted to do this to commemorate 100 threads but I will be putting out Archdemon Will likely this weekend. I gave him Louis' sword to swordboard around on, but otherwise he will be about the same that he was months ago.

>>532611946
i am a retard yes.

>>532612698
nah you're good bro. I've been posting in this general for 9 months and I still haven't made past Altabury yet

Bros I just got this on Gamepass and bros how come nobody told me this is Persona but with different names for things?

Imagine being such a shit game that you couldn't keep a general going for even a year
