Voiced vids are cool

The format was nice. Also, what happened? did you just drop off youtube for a while?

You have a nice voice, with enough experience your videos will definitely get better.

I'd like to note that Haru is incapable of learning Concentrate because she isn't available on that date. Also, Morgana with Debilitate, Makoto, and Ryuji is a pretty solid boss team comp. Especially Makoto, as she is arguably the best magic damage dealer with additional support. Morgana is has the highest SP, so I think its better for him to Debilitate and heal (Mediarama is honestly viable with his trait).

Haru can learn Concentrate, she joins your party a short while before that date, as long as you start the Palace right away

Have you gotten the true ending yet?

@@lejendx7 I think he’s talking about a system where Akechi can swap between personas like the player rather than the third semester. Granted, his 3rd-semester persona doesn’t follow the same as the others since it’s a fusion of the two rather than an evolution.

@@vesi7993 I mean, all of their 3rd semester personas are intended to be fusions of their 1st and 2nd tier personas

The reason stated was Akechi doesn’t see the reason to put out the facade of a detective prince

@Helpihavebats I know, even so i felt he was referring more to the outfit then the persona's. As we saw in his boss fight he can use both loki and robin hood in his prince outfit. I know why they didn't want to do that, i just felt it'd be cool.

That's what I kill myself trying to tell people constantly opposing them for upvotes on Reddit, lol. They're all viable, and one of the most the fun things in this game is to try different team compo and maybe even find some hidden synergies, and stuff!

@@icetmdabss3501 Its pretty weird that people like that P1-P3 (non PSP versions) had extremely poor character balance. I've noticed this about FF4 vs FF6, people actually that FF6 has broken teammates and FF4 doesn't.

@@icetmdabss3501 as you go later into the game I find that Morgana and Yusuke aren't really that good. They are just far too fragile and need to be constantly healed. They are built around agility but dodging doesn't really give a huge advantage over just tanking shots. Haru is just far to well rounded and based around crits and that's really only good against randos and not bosses. And in 3rd semester jokers healing is Soo much stronger than everyone it's why not just run your 3 best damage dealers

@@flareb99 ⚠LONG POST ALERT⚠ All what I'm going to say here are my personal opinions and preferences and come from my personal experience after the multiple playthroughs I had. I Really never found them fragile (to the point where they're unusable), ever tbh, and I'm the type of guy who loves using everyone for fun. And I'm personally referring to HARD and MERCILESS difficulties where even supposed bulky characters like Ryuji are just okay. Especially as the game goes, and you start having easy access to Pinch Anchor + Thermopylae early-mid game, and then Auto-Makajas + Vitality of the Tree + Debilitate late game,... Leave alone the fact that Jazz Club helps these two in particular a lot in the area where they are really lacking: Support. Matter of fact, Yusuke is the best Physical DPS among teammates with Charge for a good chunk of the game and access to powerful and reliable Physical Skills. He actually benefits from Ryuji's Raging Temper more than Ryuji fimself, lol. Royal significantly improved Yusuke who was shameful in Vanilla and didn't have more than 7 viable moves, while redefining Ryuji's role into the "Offensive support oriented Tank" with the Swift Strikes nerf. And then you have the 3rd semester where Yusuke has access to one of the best S-T Physical moves in the game in Brave Blade (the sweet spot between God's Hand's raw power and Sword Dance's high hit rate), while having a potential of godly support between Hyakka Ryouran, Debilitate through Jazz Club, and a very underrated Trait who greatly benefits the Party's Evasion against Physical hits (found a lot of utility in that against a certain chainsaw loli). Also worth mentioning that by end-game and just like any male, he also has access to the Tantric Oath R that gives him an effective ~34% damage reduction on all Magical affinities. As for Mona, his biggest flaw is like Yusuke's and it's his support since Masuku-nda/kaja are the worst of the bunch imo. Him having access to stuff like Marakunda/Matarukaja throughout the game greatly complements his roles of efficient healer (Mediarama + Proud Presence is the best healing thing for a good moment), solid Technical Hunter through Wind, and a reliable Crit and BP source with Miracle Punch. And while him being on the low side when it comes to overall bulk is an undeniable fact, this game is about more than raw stats which are not absolute. Matter of fact, I've actually seen him resist Physical hits slightly better than Makoto by end game who had a supposed +40 En stat which made me giggle. Even if they're flawed when taken individually (very few of them aren't tbh), it's mainly about how they synergize with the rest of the team and both of them do this pretty well (Yusuke with Ryuji's Tempers and Makoto's Gaia for Technicals,... Mona with Ann's Burn, Haru's Traits and Burn, Yoshizawa's Crits,...). I honestly feel like (and especially late game) the fragility argument is overused and doesn't translate this simply in-game as in the grand scheme of things, Buffs/Debuffs, potential evasions, regular AoE healing, Futaba's interventions, secondary effects of equipments, damage taken proportionally reduced due to higher Party's Lvl (which is probably the most important factor of all when it comes to damage taken/recieved), ,... All of this make the overall bulk relative and doesn't invalidate anyone. I only speak for me, but for instance, never ever will I not use Violet just because her Bulk is on the low side considering everything else she brings on the table. And I'm not really sure about your argument on Haru, but to me she's the best team member in the entire game from the moment she joins in, and probably the one that I use the most. She's also way more than than only about Crits like Violet or Yusuke can be as far as I'm concerned (matter of fact, Crits are only another string to her bow): -Triple Down is a Riot Gun level of power move and she has it since the moment she joins in. -She's arguably the best Technical abuser in the Party since she can exploit 10 Ailments including Rage which is probably the most broken thing in the game, making Haru and Ann the hardest hitting team members in the Party. -Later on her One-Shot-Kill is a God's Hand level of power move with a High Crit Rate (extremely useful against Chainsaw Loli). But that also means that even without Crits, she deals very respectable neutral damage. -Her Traits are one of the most useful, effective, and splashable in the game considering how abundant Ailments are (especially against a certain Chainsaw Loli, again). -When Crits aren't an option (which essentially leaves the Skill Accessory Slot free), Salvation Crown + Icy Glare/Cool Customer combo makes her one of if not the best healing teammates. -And let's suppose for whatever reason she can neither use Gun, nor Psy, nor Heal, her Life Wall is a top-tier skill and is a role that even Joker can't fulfill. And regarding your last point, to me, using Joker for Healing is such a waste in itself considering how he's BY FAR the biggest DPS on every aspect. He is the DPS by such a large margin that in most cases, it makes the damage coming from teammates almost secondary, a cool addition. I often see more value in using a teammate's action to support Joker's next attack rather than damage. So to me, the best way of surrounding Joker is not by simply going by "who is the hardest hitter" (honestly they all deal decent damage one way or another), but more like "who excels at supporting him and additionally has a nice offensive presence". And that's the reason why I have Ryuji, Ann, and Haru as S-Tier team members, and also why I value Yusuke's Hyakka Ryouran more than raw damage as it actually frees up Joker's Turn where he's supposed to use Thermopylae for example. I consider all teammates viable (which wasn't the case in Vanilla) precisely because Joker as the Wildcard is so overly broken on all aspects that he can make everyone around him work perfectly fine. I honestly very rarely use specific teammates out of necessity, it's almost always because I love them and want to have fun with them. And also, it feels right to me that everyone gets involved since it's everyone's fight, lol.

@@icetmdabss3501 youre so unbelievably based for typing this out. swapping out party members and using them all is where i get my fun from each playthrough; its really sad to hear some people spreading stuff about certain characters being better than others, especially when theyre all so dang versatile! i always build my characters around being masters of all trades because P5 (royal) is generous enough to allow characters to perform a bunch of different roles, like morgana as a healer and damage dealer.

i mean she's kinda just the strongest haru goes crazy

Ew

Big damage for no reason

Ryuji and Yusuke are a must at my party

Her and Ann combo well. Ann has a gun that inflicts brain jack.

@@hersh1138 definitely. They're also the hardest hitting pair in the game by exploiting Rage through Psy and Fire lol.

I took Ann to the jazz club every time there was a luck boost. She can reliably put multiple mobs to sleep for ez technicals

I used makoto, ann, and morgana for the whole game

For me, I just never hung out with Akechi, I would always get his messages a day after

For new game plus, every character should be available from the start. I'm glad it was done in Strikers

PC version, mods bro

@@BitchChill That was great direction they went with for Strikers. Zenkichi has way more playability than Akechi & Sumire combined.

Those "great vegetables" were a fine edition to Royal. Item supports are so good, I think you can have an "infinite" amount with Ariadne's trait.

@@ColeMeCrazy you can but only after a baton pass

which is ludicrious to ask compared to just rushing Takemi

@@Manavine the SBR is honestly a more worth it accessory than the SP Adhesives considering how early and easy to trigger the alarms are, and how the +6 in all stats is a really nice addition especially early on.

Don't take it the wrong way, but that's way too theoric actually. Raw stats are only a small fraction of the whole equation when it comes to damage in this game. Even though Morgana has factually lower HP base and En stat, it doesn't translate exactly the same in game, especially later on. I personally tend to switch team members around a lot for fun, and from my experience, I never really felt the need to heal the team earlier or more frequently because of Mona specifically. That's because there are so many factors such as Buffs/Debuffs, potential evasions, regular AoE healing, damage taken proportionally reduced due to higher Lvl (which is the most important factor of all when it comes to damage taken/recieved), Futaba's interventions,... And even if Mona is overall less bulky, by end game, neutral damage taken will almost never force you to heal before you should or want to, and Weakness/Technical/Crit + 1More's will force you to heal anyway, but that's the case for any character (Joker included), especially in Merciless. And he has a lot of good stuff going for him besides healing. Wind is a very efficient affinity, and from my testings, consistently outdamages Fire/Ice/Elec/Nuke/Psy on Neutral/Technical/Weaknesses (albeit slightly), has a very solid offensive stat to go with it, Miracle Punch is top tier for Crits and almost reaches the cap without Apt Pupil, his ultimate gun has High Dizzy (speaking of equipments, with his ultimate armor he can resist Physical skills slightly better than Makoto even with ~40 En points less lol),... And even if we grossly consider him as a healer and nothing more, he's the best at it and makes everyone around him more effective at that for a good chunk of the game (even arguably trivializes Mediarahan tbh), and by endgame, he gets Salvation which is the ultimate healing skill. And even tho it's costly (for a reason), you get it by end-game, and between his 3rd Awakening's Trait and all the SP ressources you must have by then, it's barely a concern.

@@icetmdabss3501 most of the time an enemy gets a one more on Morgana, my joker does because it's always an aoe spell (I am not good at making personas) and I was slightly low. may just be me tho. I wish he didn't have a lighting weakness so he'd stop reminding me that he has less hp by dying in 2 turns. This is my first time playing, but he's a little too squishy for surviving a weakness one more without a buff/ debuff. He is really good at healing tho (god I wish he had high dodge so I could make me a dodge tank, my favorite type of bulid) so I run him a decent amount anyway

You are right he is the best healer on the team with miracle punch and it's buff

@@rawflour6757 Exactly and it worked out perfectly for me. I love using the sword guy, the cute little guy if there's one, and the healer in an rpg so the fact that he was all three made it super easy for me to keep him in my party. Plus paired up with Makoto I had very little trouble getting through fights except for one but Okumura's poorly designed as a boss.

@@Cloud-dt6xb I feel you Okomura is even worse in the original P5, royal upped it a little

@@rawflour6757 nah he was a joke in the og p5 lol hes ennoying af in royal though

@@alexmaganda5827 he's such a coinflip. I stomped him first try, then I had to redo him to reset a romance choice (last save was before him) he then stomped me and basically timed me out and then the attempt right after I got him in like no time at all again.

The Twins were honestly a harder boss than lavenza The fact she can get hit with a critical hit and you have access to sumi a physical team literally just shred through it on merciless But then again I did beat the twins with a level 30 party and a little bit of AI manipulation to have them Target the other party numbers I said that I say the super bosses aren't much

YESSSSSSSSSS

The dates like (1/15) mean the days you can take the character to the Jazz Club, where they will then learn said skill. So if you take Yusuke to the Jazz Club on 9/4, he will learn Charge. The Jazz Club unlocks after getting Akechi to Confidant Rank 4

@@bainz oh I see, thank you for responding! I very much appreciate it

Hey sorry for the late reply, but Asterius trait and InO trait have the same effect if you're below 50% and have compendium maxed, so the damage would be the same

@@bainz No worries :D I finished the game with almighty Asterius picaro with will of the sword

Yes, exactly lol

“For real?”

Multiple playthroughs, they carry over and you can re-learn previous skills at the Church confessional

You'd have to do a bunch of playthroughs. Or maybe mod it?

First playthrough should be possible for everything I mentioned

If you're itemizing during a Fusion Alarm, yea the chance of fail after 1 or 2 is very high

@@bainz but is it possible for the 4th itemize to be success ? i already tried 3 FA and each FA is failed

Uh, not sure but it's very unlikely

@@bainz i see also one more, does allies HP/SP also got carried over for ng+ ?

If you increased their HP/SP from the Jazz Club, those do carry over

If I want to use dlc personae, I'd just grab izanagi no okami for free from compendium and make the game burst

@@Manavine no

Good to see people appreciating the ring of vanity on Joker, it really carries the early game

The numbers in the () refers to what level you learn the skill or if it’s from maxing the confiant (C10) or if it’s a 3rd semester skill (3S) The dates you can learn the recommended jazz club skills are on the far right which are also in () and of course the information on the characters trait is on the left. Hope that helps

It's only available in the 3rd Sem and costs 90 SP. You're not using it in random encounters and most bosses are single target (so the 30 SP Debilitate works the same). It just doesn't have much actual use

@@bainz thats fair.

Yes

it does but you can just watch until you see the last member that you know

NG+ you can use anything cuz you're so overpowered compared to what you're facing. If endgame is the last Palace, prob just Kasumi + a healer + someone like Ann/Haru/Ryuji/etc

@@bainz and whaout joker? what are his must have personas? I play on merciless btw

@@cavsfightingroom3692 idk man if you are on merciless you playing on the easiest difficulty so just hit weaknesses I suppose

@@improbablegaming6592 easiest?!

@@cavsfightingroom3692 yeah you one shot most enemies, definitely the easiest other than safe

It's actually slightly worse than brave blade because it is missing the high crit chance. Yusuke's baton pass skills go up in "rank" after a baton pass. So severe becomes colossal.
