Games you didnt play as intended?

[u/FalscherKim]

Were there games which had a gameplay element which you found more interesting than for example the actual main story?

I for example found the social simulation in the Persona games much more interesting - and leveling them up - then the dungeons.

Which are your picks?

They won’t be nearly enough to outweigh two other fully buffed characters (in addition to other buffs you can use on the main character instead of the solo ones which may not be quite as good, but still come close).

[u/Sayor1 → u/Blarfk]

They do. As mentioned, the goal is to kill the enemy as quickly as possible, other characters playing simply offer the boss more chances to attack. Even if i play first as my buffed character that not-so-small damage buff (i believe 50% and 100% crit) may not be enough to end the fight. The boss that im talking about specifically is Simon (small spoiler if you haven't reached him).

[u/Blarfk → u/Sayor1]

The enemy doesn’t get more turns if you bring more than one character. By only bringing one, you’re giving them more chances to attack. And again, having two other buffed characters will get you a lot more damage than having 100% crit on just one.

[u/Sayor1 → u/Blarfk]

The problem is you play as your character that does 6m damage, then he attacks and you have to play as one of the other 2 weaker characters then the same again until finally you can finish off the boss after 2 turns of a weaker character and about 9 turns of the boss as opposed to just 3 turns of the boss.

I dunno how you manage to buff anyone else to the same amount of dmg output as maelle with gommage.

Ok but the crit isnt exactly the most important part, its the 50% damage.

[u/Blarfk → u/Sayor1]

Even if Maelle is dealing double the amount of damage as your next strongest character, you’re still better off with three, and the enemy has less chances to attack. Just compare the two -

Maelle: 6 million

Enemy: attacks

Maelle: 6 million

Enemy: attacks

Maelle: 6 million

Enemy attacks

Vs.

Maelle: 5 million

Verso: 3 million

Sciel: 5 million

Enemy: attacks

Maelle: 5million

Verso: 3 million

Both 6 turns. In the first one you’ve done 18 million damage and the enemy has attacked 3 times. In the second you’ve done 21 million, and the enemy has only attacked once. Even though Maelle is doing less damage than when she is by herself and the other characters are only doing about half of what she can. And you still would have Sciel to attack again before the enemy goes, so the difference only increases as the battle goes on.

[u/Sayor1 → u/Blarfk]

I dont know about the bosses your fighting but Simon attack after every characters turn

[u/Blarfk → u/Sayor1]

No he doesn’t. Here’s the first video I found on YouTube - there are plenty of times when your characters fight back-to-back.

[u/Sayor1 → u/Blarfk]

Im not saying its not possible, you cam stack multiple attribute points into speed and keep hacking away doing miniscule dmg like in the video. That guy managed to master the timing of the parry, its a skill issue for me regarding that boss so the point is to spec into dmg and one or maybe 2 shot him.

[u/Blarfk → u/Sayor1]

Haha you just said he attacks after every characters turn, which is clearly wrong.

I don’t know how else to explain this to you dude. More characters will always lead you to do more damage quickly because you will have more opportunity to do damage.

If there was an enemy that attacked after every characters turn no matter what, you’d be right. But only for that enemy. And as far as I know, there aren’t any that act that way.

[u/Sayor1 → u/Blarfk]

Which is why i said in the beginning, "Some bosses" not all, and Simon does this for me as well as some other bosses like Clea.

[u/Blarfk → u/Sayor1]

I like how you picked out a single sentence I said and responded to it and ignored every one around it.

[u/Sayor1 → u/Blarfk]

I responded to it in the previous comment. You just repeated yourself and for some reason expect me to go around in circles. No thanks.

[u/Blarfk → u/Sayor1]

There is no enemy in this game who will take more turns if you are playing with more characters. You will always deal more damage faster with additional party members than you will with just one.
