Golden is weird. Some parts are really easy but a lot of the boss fights are changed up that make them way more difficult than the original game.
Right now I'm stuck on shadow teddie because I was expecting to fly right through the fight like the original game. If you had Unicorn (ice immune) you could just auto-battle him until you got the 2 turn warning for his instant kill but now that he actually fights back I'm woefully unprepared because I hardly did any grinding and on extreme difficulty I don't know how much I can even fix with just one day to level up.

It is literally artificial difficulty, so use a guide.

You need a spell that's easily missable.

>>324128625
Its not that hard of a game, Yukiko can cockslap you if you don't have fire resists. Teddie can do the same if you don't have good heals as Yukiko is weak as shit to bufudyne.

P4G is even easier than the main game due to tarot card changes and how you can pick and choose what to inherit when you fuse, if you are stuck in p4g you are bad.

>>324128256

Still didn't beat P4. I like to believe it's either.

>>324128431
She's weak to ice but she can resist it with white wall, has double hp compared to the original, and her prince is way stronger in golden since he has a high chance to silence your dudes.

>>324128502
Gotta block. Negates weaknesses and status effects. I had to do it when I fought shadow Teddy because I went in with two characters weak to ice not knowing what I was going to face. Ended up beating him on my first try.

>>324129357
This guy was cool. I enjoyed all his yelling.

Use goho-m and grind a bit more.
If you run out of days I don't know. It's not a casual filter it's the moment you realise how the calendar shit in this game works with the dungeon parts. I got stuck on the previous one until I realised the game was telling me to take it easy

>>324128631
>>324128857

The fight did teach me to block, but I remember it needing something additional such as red wall or more ice spells, can't remember and I didn't play golden.

Piston Honda is this in Punch-Out. He's the first boxer to put up a fight, and several ones after him have easy gimmicks to make sure you know all the moves for the final circuit (For example, Great Tiger seems hard but he's really just there to remind you that you have a block button)

And then after you get the timing of the Bull Charge counter punch down you end up against a much faster and stronger Honda ready to filter out more people

>>324128986
Fucked up so many minor details in that mission and ended up having to restart, shit was annoying.

Also ended up constantly whiffing grenade tosses. Shit was annoying.

>>324128376

Serious question, how can a turn-based RPG ever have actual difficulty to the point where there are casual filters?

I can understand action games having casual filters. You are forced to get good because you can't just level up to the point where you have defenses and attack power that can overwhelm the casual filter. You have to learn the enemy mechanic and be competent at the gameplay.

In a turn-based RPG like Persona or Final Fantasy? You can bypass any challenge by simply grinding. A boss giving you trouble? Spend some time grinding and come back when you're 5-6 levels higher. The boss immediately ceases to become challenging.

>>324127785
The game becomes piss easy after you get party wide heals. This is only hard because at that point you only have single target heals and one of your members is weak to the boss's element.

>>324128625
Shadow Teddie is probably one of the longest battles in the game, but he's not really hard. His AI follows a really obvious pattern and avoids fucking you up when he could easily wipe out the party.
The game gets even easier as you go on since you get so overpowered with a ton of options.

>>324127785
PC port when?

>>324132116
Good JRPGs have level scaling

>>324132463
I guess it was too much of a filter since 90% of people dropped the game when they reach it.

>>324132116
At some point you cant out grind damage dealt to you so you need strategy over numbers. For instance enemies in FF6 cast ultima on death so you need to kill them in a specific manner. In SMT and Persona games enemies getting extra turns over you is extremely dangerous.

Lotta SMT here without the obvious choice. Matador was "Learn How to Fuse A Wind-Resistant Demon With Sukukaja: The Fight." Before him, you could coast by on elemental weaknesses, but here you had to take some time to become familiar with the deeper mechanics.

>>324132550
Not when you rush through the dungeons like I did. When I entered heaven I had a pretty hard time because my level was so low. Had to do a lot of grinding afterwards...

>>324133334
Matador will fuck you over if you don't know what you're doing, but is perfectly manageable if you do. Minotaur's difficulty has a lot to do with factors outside of your control, like whether or not he'll Smirk from Walter hitting him with Agi for the tenth straight time, and otherwise the strategy is to just dump Bufu spells on him. Minotaur is harder, but Matador is designed better.

>>324127785
Nothing in P4G is casual filter unless you are complete shit.

>>324133672
Except for Yukiko's shadow that OP posted. That boss is designed to beat casuals to the ground, hence casual filter. If you can beat that then everything afterward is guaranteed easy.

>>324129472
Even if all demons use that shitty voice filter, the Minotaur sounded so fucking cool.

YOUR HOPE ENDS HERE

how much do you have to suck at videogames to think that jrpgs have casual filters.
the entire game is casual. that's why it's turn based. it requires no skill on your part beyond selecting the menu item that deals damage in between selecting the menu item that restores your health.

Aside from the wedding i can't think of any time where he affected the plot.

>>324129357
I actually did not have too much trouble with this guy. Died maybe two or three times and took him down.

I should get back to that game, I was enjoying it.

Okay, I've beaten P4 sometime ago, should I go for The Golden? I've got a Vita but P4G is unavailable in my country and I'm wondering if I should buy even though it's kinda expensive.

Worth it?

>>324135570

there is the Golden anime that literally shows you all the additions

The first playthrough against it was hell, but it was a good teaching method on how to git gud at the game as each restart taught you something new about the game's mechanics.

First step was learning to not put your tank's back to the enemy, then actually using lancers other than Largo, then learning how to use lancers, then figuring out how to keep your scouts alive in crossfire, then issuing orders, then learning not to deploy all your forces and holding spots for tactical reinforcements....

Then when you made progress... you were rewarded with Selvaria coming from right field and mowing down your entire squad in a single turn from across the map as you realize the importance of hiding behind cover and taking out the left-hand reactor before the other two.

>>324135782
I like Adachi so I'll watch it even though I've heard that Marie is a tsundere dipshit

>>324127785
Beat her first try and I'm not even that good

>>324135965
It's not even that. She's Atlus's Lightning. Literally shoved in your face while having a cringey character.
The Golden anime is even worse in the fact that she's put into events that she wasn't even a part of in the game.

>>324136307

>>324128256
I figured. I'm only up to Kanji right now and it's way too obvious.

>>324128625
your friend must be retarded because shadow teddie isn't fucking hard at all. the only way you can die to him is if you fuck up and die to his charge attack but if that happens you're a retard and you'll beat him on the second try anyways.

imo that arcade dungeon boss fight and then the heaven boss fight were harder than shadow yukiko, the rest were piss easy.

>>324136946
>having trouble with the heaven boss

>>324136946
Mitsuo was piss easy if you fused Black Frost, which at that point you should easily be able to.

In the grand scheme of things not much. However he served as an ultimate counterpoint to Jecht in that Seymour as Sin would actively set about destroying the whole of Spira whilst Jecht as Sin does his absolute best in holding Sin back.

He did give us a fucking incredible battle theme as well.

The fun in jrpgs comes from finding out a strategy that works WITHOUT having to do that.

Beating a boss or getting through a tough dungeon that is multiple levels above you because you played smart is a good feeling.

But oh man the ass devastation wrought by Barroth was something else. You can get through Jaggi, Ludroth and Qurupeco by button mashing but then they make you actually learn how to play Monster Hunter.

Shame he got nerfed so hard in later releases, but I guess that makes sense.

Trouble with the trolley, eh?

I had no trouble with this boss, but I had some trouble with bosses in the tower because I had no idea buffs and debuffs were useful. So knowing this when I played Nocturne, my playthrough of Nocturne was much easier than my first playthrough of persona 3.

>>324149829
>>324149791
I had far more wipes on the Bloodqueen than on Sindragosa, because someone has forgotten to bite. On HC she wasn't a problem, because there weren't any random plebs in our raid.

>>324149217
The positioning for that airborne phase was tricky for my guild. But those were the times when you could use the Augmented Virtual Reality addon to draw the AoE of the ice block attack on the map, which really helped.

We never managed to kill Arthas/Ner'Zhul on heroic mode. I'd say he was the true casual filter.

Meh. There's literally nothing to indicate that you can rotate items, or that they're important, or that the claw is even relevant. There's also red herrings on the wall. Everyone saying "lol, u idiots got stuck," is just ignoring the fact that they only knew the solution because they watched that gameplay promo.

>>324150965
I was at my friend's house when he was playing Skyrim for the first time and doing the Golden Claw quest in the Bleak Falls Barrow. We had no prior experience with the game. He had some note in the inventory that hinted at the solution and I asked if there was way to rotate items in your inventory to examine them closer. He discovered that you could indeed do that using the mouse. I thought it was somewhat clever to hide the solution on an item.

Yukiko comes before you can get anything even approaching decent, unless you know what you're doing and grab Red Wall. Just remember that in Golden she's weak to Bufu while she has no weaknesses in the PS2 version. Also remember to have Chie block whenever the big fire attack is coming.

Kanji can fuck you up because he can shit out a ton of random damage, and you still don't really have very good personas yet. Kill the buffslut first.

Mitsuo just takes way too damn long.

Namatame very hard if you know what's coming and if you have those items that give you party-wide Makarakarn you can shvae off a crapload of health if you guess right

SMT games typically discourage pure grinding in that demons level up extremely slowly after a while, encouraging you to fuse often.

Persona is easier than mainline SMT and only the MC needs to fuse, but the same basic principles apply.

The entirety of Alien Isolation, but especially the first med sci part.

Fuck that.

>>324150965

Pretty much.

It's a fucking CLAW. The journal references a PALM.

Even if there's no indication you can examine items, this should be enough to prompt you to TRY.

>>324128625
Shadow Yukiko legitimately can fuck your shit up (moreso in vanilla than in Golden thanks to Golden making Shadow Yukiko weak to Bufu), but Shadow Teddie, while long, is pretty easy as long as you aren't retarded and let yourself get hit by Nihil Hand.

FFX's writing was bloated garbage. There were so many elements that existed only to create a melodramatic soap opera that they needed to pad out the game with a pointless villain that had all the depth of Bowser.

>>324132116
There are RPGs that limit EXP gain after you're a certain level based on area. Trails in the Sky does this, although it's not a very hard game anyway.

SMT games discourage pure grinding by making your demons level up ridiculously slowly after they level up a few times, encouraging you to prioritize fusing over grinding.

What's the opposite of a casual filter?
Because whatever it is Vergil from DMC 3 is one.
I'm just at the end of the game for my first playthrough and I died a whole bunch to every boss except for Virgil. Because I beat him my first try no items both times, but died to every other boss like 12 times before I barely beat any of them. I know he's the final battle so is he any harder then than he is the other 2 times you face him?

>>324168636
He is legit the hardest boss in the game. I was stuck on him for so long and then never had any trouble with another boss

>>324128392
Having played both I can easily say that Golden is much easier. One tip if you get stuck, make sure to do each dunegon twice, when you have finished a dungeon a new special boss will spawn at the last floor. Kill it and it will drop a pretty good weapon for one of your characters, you will also get plenty of xp from doing it again. I wouldn't reccomend this however if you enjoy a challenge. It felt like I broke the game by doing this since everything after Rise's dungeon was easy as fuck, I defeated every single boss on my first try without breaking a sweat because I got so overleveled and had really good weapons.
