>make best boy
>is the useless party member of the game

Why?
>>
>>376853806
Get gud
I pretty much replaced ryuji with him and kept him in the rest of the game
>>
Because he's not

He's the third most useful party member, meaning he should be on your party.
>>
>the useless party member
>not Morgana
>>
>useless

He's great for mob clears, just gets outshined by ryuji for boss fights
>>
>>376853975

>haru
>>
>useless

More like my main DSP together with MC.
Also free Sukukaja and bonus damage after baton pass.
>>
>>376853806
He covers ice weaknesses, and baton passing to him increases the power of his AOE physical move which clears most hoards of enemies

he isn't useless. outclassed maybe, but that doesn't matter. The MC can fill any role in the party anyways so I don't understand the point of this thread. Even in late game he was good for spamming that Ma-Evasion/speed spell
>>
>>376853806
wot? yusuke is the second strongest physical damage dealer of your party

Honestly depending on the situation he can even out do ryuji.
>>
>>376853916

He doesn't get Charge, he is objectively inferior to Ryuji.

He gets Heatwave first. Large damage against an entire enemy party is incredibly useful.

>>376854237
switch yusuke and ann and I agree.

Ann is a fucking power house. Mokoto and Morgana are tied honestly.

They're not shit but all they're mostly good for is their heals and dispells.

If you baton pass x2, his Rising Slash wrecks shit.

>>376853975
Morgana covers win weakneses, has miracle punch which gives yu an extra turn to baton pass to anyone, and has great healing spells. And also a high magic stat, even if outclassed by Ann anyone with a brain can find use for any party memeber even if they are not objectively the best. Also Morgana's awakened Persona looks pretty cool, if anything's a flaw, is how bad Zoro looks.

>>376854041
The hell are you on, Haru is one of the best party members because she can cover gun skills without using any bullets, also covers the psychic attribute attacks AND carries status ailments moves but if you're one of those people who sees that as useless, she also carries Heat Riser.
>>

No wonder you fags have trouble with this game.
He can deal decent damage AND has mediahan.

>>376854187
He doesn't but pretty sure a baton pass amps the damage of his abilities to equal that of a charge.

Charge is 2.5x baton pass skills improve by 1.5x but they also get a damage boost on top of that which i believe stacks with mataru
>>

x2? Does baton pass increase damage even more per pass?

My party was Ryuji, Makoto, and Yusuke. I never felt that one of them was dragging the team down on hard mode.

Git fucking good.
>>
>>376854639
Forgot about Miracle Punch with some Luck equipments grants you a free critical almost everytime.
>>
He's the second best dpt til ann gets concentrate and is still relevant for most of the game since without grinding ann gets concentrate right before the final boss, once you get hifumi to r10 you can switch him in battle for makoto/morgana for a heal and just run dpt til you're going low
>>
>>376854517

It's not whether or not the game is hard enough to warrant it, it's just a fact.

You have no idea how these games work. I hope it's your first cause that order is dreadful

>>376853806
He's better than Ryuji.

Until he learns Charge that is.
>>
>>376854643
Nigga he gets god hand and charged with that on top of attack boost he's way better Yusuke

>baton passes

Yeah good luck with bosses where you're actually fighting someone that's some pose of challenge
>>
>>376854849
>Charge
>Miss

T-thanks Ryuji
>>
He's more useful than Ryuji against strong random encounters because all he needs is a baton pass to deal major damage. Ryuji on the other hand is a boss killer for his matarukaja and charge.
>>
>>376854329
You can get her ultimate equipment by level 51 abusing Velvet loli's max rank skill.

Salvation isn't as good as a skill as you think because, it's a huge SP drain and final boss has unique status effects. All bosses have a crit resistance so Miracle punch loses effectiveness during boss fights. Masukunda is inferior to Debilitate since most bosses are fought solo.

At least when Makoto has nothing to do on her turn she can raise the parties defense.
>>
>>376854849
Ryuji gets Swift Strike really early on, though, and that's one of the strongest moves in the game.
>>
>>376854920

>what is masukukaja

>>376854920

ROCKET SCIENCE

I don't get why Ryuji is considered so good.
Maybe it's because I played on Merciless but he missed 90% of his attacks. No jokes.
Changed him out as soon as Yusuke showed up.
Then I never used Ryuji again up till the final bosses for his Matarukaja.
>>
>>376854237
First of all you need to divide this between damage dealers and obvious support characters like Makoto and Morgana. Haru is a mixed bag since she has plenty of support and damage dealing options but doesn't really have the skill slots to be both at once without gimping either of her capabilities.
>>
Why do Emperors suffer from autism?
>>
>>376853806
Not useless for those who want to clean mobs fast during their first playthrough. Then again fusing good persona is better than leaving the work to your team mates.

>>376854237
It's like you only look at the Skillset list from wiki and read some comments in order to make this ranking.
>>
>>376855210
Maybe Swift Strike is early game Hassou Tobi.

But you are not going to let Yusuke down are you?

>>376853806

Yeah man
It's not like each character has their own Personas with their own stats.
I don't even have to look to tell you that Ryuji's Persona has lower Agility than Yusuke's.
>>
>>376854679
Makoto's +10 everything gun is absurd, also salvation is a bit of an sp drain to be using it constantly as your party wide heal instead of mediarahan unless you're really fucked from both damage and status conditions, energy shower is pretty good since it cures the most crippling status conditions in the game. Psi damage is also rarer than elec damage so she'll be exploited less often.

Breh it's minimal, saying 90% is like acting as if Yusuke's stats are literally way higher than Ryuji's. Just buff accuracy and you should hit enemies. You legit gotta be bullshiting a party member can miss 9/10 of his attacks just on base level

Regardless if you max Strength or not, you won't be able to get Yoshitsune because Futsunashi is only available on Magician rank 10, which happens on the last day.

>>376856724
>wait.
You're not going to be getting your Strength confidant to max before level 32.
Unless you're playing on NG+, and at that point, why would you even give a shit?
>>
>>376856724
>>376857081
Also, I don't see what's wrong with having 2 people using one of the strongest skills in the game. I never really found Yusuke to get near the level of damage Ryuji could do unless it was off of a baton pass. Even then it's only a single enemy.
>>
>>376856641
I may just have to buy this game now. I haven't played persona since two though. What's the story this time, what do the phantom thieves do? Also how does the event timing thing work, you have to manage your time and can't roam freely? That really turned me off to it.
>>
>>376856724
MC Does everything better than a party member. There's no reason to choose Yusuke when he offers you nothing over Ryuji besides boosts after baton pass which is useless on bosses and rarely better than another weakness exploiting move + all out attack
>>
>>376854679
There is literally no reason to use Morgana over Makoto except for miracle punch to knock down enemies. Makoto is the tankiest party member with marakukaja and the second best mage. She loses out to Ann obviously since she doesn't get concentrate, but she still gets a severe spell. Mediarahan is all you need, salvation and samarecarn are a waste of sp in this game. Nuclear is the best offensive type and psychic is the least dangerous weakness. Compound that with her outrageously over powered final weapons and I'd go so far as to call her the best party member.
>>
>>376857081
I don't get your point. You need to fuse Matador in early rank Strength and getting Death arcana to Rank 7 allows me both Invigorate 3 and enough bonus to level Matador until he learns Swift Strike. Death is one of the easiest links you can level up in the beginning.

>>376857235
Ryuji has weak AGI/EVA stat so at the beginning his AoA moves miss more than hit. Late game he does shine.
Yusuke has high AGI/EVA stat and learns speed master quite early, making him dodging attacks and dealing damages more consistently.
I used both of them at the same time.
>>
>>376857443
Miracle punch to knock down enemies makes him more useful than Makoto who has to constantly blow sp to be useful. She's better spent in reserve using her SP pool to heal everyone
>>
>>376857408
Yusuke is better for taking care of midbosses and regular enemies. He also gets masukakaja which is always useful. Until Ryuji gets charge Yusuke is better than him

The Yusuke shilling is unreal.

People wanna real make up shit that Ryuji misses most of his attacks.

Face it, Yusuke is only good for scrubs while Ryuji is better for real battles on bosses.
>>
>>376853806
Thanks is basically Chie done right.
>>
>>376853806
In a single target fight you might as well use him until Ryuji gets Charge.

Ann being so highly rated doesn't make sense to me since Haru or any other physical damage dealer is objectively better when no weaknesses are accounted for. Triple shot hits three times against the entire field and she gets both boosts for it along with Heat Riser. Ann was never the top damage out of my party even though I kept her in since her Strength debuff is very useful.
>>
>>376853806
He seriously has nothing over the other members by endgame
>Ann learns concentrate
>Ryuji gets charge
>Makoto can heal and deals okay damage
>Haru has heat riser and good gun abilities
>Morgana at least gets samarecarm and salvation
Why use him by endgame? Unless you just like him more than one of the others.
>>
>>376858393
Because late bosses do reflect physicals at certain points and she is the strongest magic attacker and only one with concentrate. Haru for me was to weak to tank attacks like Morg.
>>
Is p5 the easiest Persona yet? I think I used maybe 2 revival beads total and recarm zero times
I did play on normal though, I don't know how harder it is on higher difficulties but I can't imagine it's that different

Nevermind about Ann, I forgot she gets concentrate late into the game. But up until then I think physical is the better route for damage.

>>376858265
doing the 5 micro dmg hits can turn any battle in your favor especially when you have buffs up.

>What's the story this time, what do the phantom thieves do?
Teenagers gain access to a metaverse through a navigation app distributed by Igor, in this metaverse worlds are created based on the perceptions and cognitive differences between individuals, particular people with extremely distorted views have Palaces in their worlds which are sustained by core treasures which usually something of great personal value related to how they ended up. Phantom thieves steal these treasures to remove the drive/desire from criminals that are usually ignored, protected or can't get something pinned on them to confess to their crimes.

Time management usually allows you to perform 2 activities per day during the daytime/afternoon or evening. These activities range from social stat raising ones (required to initiate/get past certain ranks of specific social links), hanging out with your social links, or dungeon diving. Social links in P5 give a lot of bonus abilities on top of providing more xp for when you fuse a persona of their arcana, for example when you go dungeon diving usually you're too tired to do anything in the evening but the Temperance rank 10 ability lets you call your teacher to give you a massage to perk you back up to do something besides going to bed.

There are a lot of plot days you can't do anything apart from watching cutscenes and sleeping so go in expecting to not be able to do whatever you want every day.

Because that one area is such a grind with those fucking elephants that tank hits too hard for magic users and repel all physical to prevent any real damage making every encounter take a decade. The entire month of September sucked as well, and the only way they could make the boss an actual threat is by forcing that political marriage plot and have the characters constantly repeat the same soundbites on how horrible he is for running a company.

I'd argue that's morgana.
With the lowest hp and defense of everyone he's by far the frailest character, the little bastard seems to get ko'd every third fight.
At a little over lv20 he;s not a full level behund everyone else since ko'd members don't get exp at the end of a fight (or less. either way) and of course even further behind MC.
He can't even serve as the heal slave when shit is one shotting him.

Mona isn't exactly on my good side anyway, cockblocking me at every single venue of what should be free time and making sure you know he thinks Ryuji is a useless piece of shit every twelve seconds.

Usually against the strong mob enemies like Anubis or anything else without a weakness, it's much better to baton pass to Yusuke for a rising slash than doing an AoA. I've tried both, baton pass boosted moves that gain additional power from baton pass really helps out.

I have the feeling some of them don't play the game but just do the memeing for the sake of "having discussions". P5 is very lenient so your party setup is however you want, if you know how to fuse persona and utilize your team mates. I agree that phys skills in P5 are much better.

>>376853806
He can get a total of +10 strength on ryuji (5 naturally, 5 from sword itemized from ame no uzume) which actually goes a long way towards making him compete with ryuji in terms of damage per round.

Yusuke was useful by the time you get him and majority of the game. He may not have charge but his high agility and baton passed rising slash wrecks shit.

Yeah. For like the last 5% of the game.

Even then it was good to have makoto yusuke and ryuji to cover the aoe buffs which leaves joker on debilitate duty on bosses

He actually does pretty well with his multi-hits. When they give him charge in the director's cut, he'll be busted.

>>376860527

DDS was the closest to a traditional rpg they ever went, so it makes sense magic would be better. Magic in DeSU was only good because they finally added magic that hits multiple times. Phys skills were still great in SMTIV, but some reason both phys and gun skills were based off of dex

All of the itemized weapons that don't give stat bonuses (Joker's gun, Makoto's gun, Yusuke's gun and Haru's axe) are pretty shit.

Well, maybe Joker's resist curse knife and Morgana's +50 SP sword aren't necessarily shit but they're certainly nothing to write home about either.

Oh fuck you. I've played DDS SMT3-4 Persona 2-5. I didn't speedrun them all yesterday. I didn't like the dungeon means I'm a Persona 5 purist.

It wasn't hard if that's what you are trying to insinuate. I found him annoying because he was a SP vacuum if you didn't have hindsight to bring a persona just for him, not saying he's a broken part of the game. I just think that dungeon is shitty because they forgot to balance the damage types so they decided to frontload this dungeon with all the physical repel enemies and make 2-3 of your party members useless.

This game actually does a decent job of keeping Party members relevant at least in some way, Makoto and Ryuiji are basically autopicks for Boss Fights, though.
>>
>>376863417
Were you underleveled because you never did Mishima's confidant and had backup members earn xp, or just 1 or 2 levels behind the average because of Hard's .8 xp gain compared to normal?

A little bit of both.
I also "stealthed" the last 2 areas of the game because of impatience.
So the party was in the 60-65 range when the (apparent) average level was about 80. It was fun.
>>
>>376860948
Actually with Charge from Futaba, Haru has higher damage potential than anyone. Ann is just straight trash.
>>
>>376863681
I wish flash bomb was a bit more reliable with its dizzy, sometimes I just have makoto do her standard melee attack because of her high crit weapon over it. I'd be great if it got an upgrade to raise the chance from low to medium or high in Crimson.
>>
Yusuke is great until the last 2 dungeons since he doesn't get Charge or a Baton Power Up Colossal Damage Skill.

I'd say Makoto is worse or Morgana after Haru gets One-Shot Kill.
>>
>Useless party members

>>376862110
Ryuji, Makoto, Haru. I did Ryuji, Makoto and Ann against Shido and I probably should have done that again since Haru didn't do much of anything. I thought the Final Boss might try to throw Status at me, he does, but Haru can't heal it anyways so I should have just had Ann so she could spam Concenrate+Severe Fire Skill.
>>
>>376863731
That raised average might be because of people doing the reaper exploit during flu season.
>>376863770
Makes sense considering Haru has 2 passives that boost her gun damage while there really isn't any phys damage equivalent passives.
>>
>>376863770
>Actually with Charge from Futaba
The thing is though, that's the only way she can get a Concetrate Boost. Ann can just do it herself without relying on RNG. I had Futaba's skill activate twice on the Final Boss and I got SP recovery both times. Haru is good against Trash Mobs.
>>
>>376863770

To be fair, getting charge from Futaba isn't exactly a reliable thing.

Pretty important if you're doing a first playthrough maniac run.
>>
>>376863731
The average is 80 because people were using the Reaper to grind, I'm sure you were right in line with the average level any other time you checked it, but as soon as you got to like Okumura's Palace you started to fall further behind. In that one you can apparently use the Black Sludge enemies to grind and then on Flu Days you can grind with The Reaper because he can be inflicted with despair too for some reason. I only did him once so I could the trophy and I finished level 75(this was on Normal, though. I regret not picking Hard.).
>>
>>376864116
>i did this but ann never got any use except against the last boss

Mostly because there was jack shit weak to fire throughout the game. That has to be the rarest weakness for enemies.
>>
So does Morgana watch you fuck ann when you bring her to your room?
>>
>>376864015
That also costs a ton of SP, while Ann is probably better than Haru against Yaldabaoth I would say Haru is still better overall since she's a lot more versatile, can consistently press turns and still has high damage output.
>>
>>376854237
Unless you use Protag for support while the rest do damage which is a waste, Makoto is the best support character in the game.

Anyone who doesn't make a party revolving around Criticals misses the fun of the this game.

Dont forget about his follow up attack that is an instant kill aka."Nothin persoanl kid" samurai slash move.

Yusuke is is really good with baton pass and his AOE moves as long as you fight an enemy that has a weakness.

A team with Yusuke should have Morgana due to baton passing being a major factor in his dps toolkit. Haru would also be good due to having a high crit chance.

So basically
trash mob party: Morgana, Yusuke, Haru
boss killer party: Ryuji, Ann, Makoto

>>376864882
You should cut him some slack for wanting to be overleveled in his 1st run. Maybe he just wanted to try Reaper flu to save time grinding or something.

>>
>>376864876
Ann gets concentrate and an aoe severe spell. She's the best damage dealer if she's weak at everything else.

Optimal party is Makoto/Ryuji/Ann occasionally switching in Haru for situations were karns are useful.

ryuji doesn't get charge until the last 1/4 of the game. Objectively, Yusuke is better for the early to mid game, even more so on sub-bosses cause of baton pass.

Fusing is the "fun" part for me. I filled about 82% of the Compendium and started NG+ to finish the rest. Regularly fusing demon is how you should play Megaten games. That and beating Lawfags.

On normal it doesn't seem to matter too much, I played Ryuji/Yusuke/Makoto and it worked fine for the most part

Also I got trumpeter and almost immediately made him immune to everything except gun skills, which pretty much trivialised the rest of the game

Yeah but if you try to keep a little bit of everything on her she becomes useless, it's best to disregard some skills like her shields which can be replaced by items and just opt for more damage boosting passives.

The last two enemies at the end give between 9k and 11k exp depending on which squad shows up, and fighting two of them is basically a guaranteed level up until level 77 or so, and even then you can still get levels within 3~4 fights.

Nope, SMT 4A is the only game where pierce ignores repel. Incidentally, SMT 4 and 4A are the only games where repelled attacks pierce all resistance types.

It was pretty balanced. Multistrike is basically a dance on every character and you can apply pierce to every character once you do ao's route. That said dances were still strong and Fumi had no problem with nuking shit from 5+ spaces away with holy dance and spirit/drain

I think in Nocturne to get through repel phys you had to use freikugel which went through it because of it being Almighty but phys at the same time, but if you used Gaea rage on something with repel phys it gets bounced back even with pierce. But don't quote me on this because it's been years since I played it.

Wrong. Yusuke is the third best party member behind Makoto and Ryuji, in that order. Makoto is a lock on higher difficulties and ryuji and Yusuke are the optimal picks for the remaining spots. Ann is the best magical damage dealer and the third best overall damage dealer, behind Joker and Ryuji, but 1) there's such a ridiculous power gap between Joker and everyone else it makes little difference in the overall scheme of things. 2) concentrate+Blazing Hell is terribly inefficient in terms of resources and 3) she has no useful utility so every turn she's not concentrating or attacking she's dead weight and doesn't help the party.

You're getting all three in a single turn; of course the cost goes up. I can only imagine what Luster Candy would cost in Persona.

They should have made it cost 70 and make it party wide instead of single target.

Here is the thing though, you're getting 3 buffs in one turn as opposed to 4. If you use Heat riser to buff your party you end up with one person's buffs falling off every turn. It's objectively a worthless spell outside of soloing.

None of those stay relevant by the late/end-game

You can't sleep bosses, you can't confuse bosses, single target healing only is very, VERY niche support, especially when makoto is just gona heal the whole party up on her turn, and Tarunda could be usefull, but you should be perma-debilitating every enemy that warrants the use of Tarunda, because it's just way more efficient.

The ONLY boss in which she's objectively a good pick for the starting line up is 1st phase Shido


>>376867757

>>376868210
But in SMT games they typically apply buff limits before the boss either negates it or says fuck this and kills you.

>>376868170
Yes I know. Debilitate's cost is fine but Heat Riser costs a ton in spite of being less value than Masuku and the fact that you have 4 party members means it would be unusable garbage even if it cost 5 SP.

Everyone is good, it just depends what phase of the game your in. Ann sucks for most dungeons because of how fast she drains sp, but is a beast once she learn concentrate. I do feel like Yusuke does fall off late compared to how strong everyone else is.

Endgame, with all skill unlocked, it goes:
Ryuji>Ann>Haru>Makoto>Morgana>Yusuke
>>
>>376868347
imo she's theoretically at her best as a support. I say theoretically because like I said she has problems as a support.

As a phys damage dealer she's mediocre desu. On most bosses and subbosses crits are either impossible or very unlikely so she becomes softer hitting than Yusuke while not giving the same amount of sustained support.

I don't see how she hits softer, her two gun skill passive buffs should put her triple shot and one shot kill above Yusuke's attacks.

Makoto, Haru, Yusuke.

Makoto for the sweet nuke paladin

Haru for the crazy reflection walls (which save my ass on occasion) and mega gun/psy damage.

Yusuke for DODGING EVERYTHING (he dodged two agidynes in a row without fire evade during the final boss) and making your party dodge everything, as well as some great baton-pass single-target damage.

MC I ran with Siegfried with charge, the colossal single-target phys spell, auto-mataru, invigorate, and endure (which is a lifesaver I ended up not needing).

Parties for regular dungeon enemies should be 3 members which cover most elemental weaknesses you find, so there's no point in arguing for which one is the best in those situations when the best choice is to constantly switch.

She has matarurnda. making the enemy do 0 damage is way more useful than dodging every 20 turns.
I swear, the suku skills are ass in this game. In my first play through, Ryuji and Yusuke still managed to miss Shido even with sukukaja and sukunda.

>>
>>376870123
Suku- skills are kinda useless in One More systems anyways. Sure you can prevent damage every now and then but you're better off doing other moves.

It's great in Press Turn though. They miss once and lose two turns.
>>
>>376869816
>dungeon enemies in account?

most mob encounters are basically hit the weaknesses and then all out attack. If they don't have weaknesses you either crit or CC them. Either way, if you MUST pick one over the other, and can't change your party up through the dungeon you still get more value out of Yusuke than Ann over time because he has an elemental attack that deals more than enough damage to deal with mob enemies weak to it and he also has a very high damaging physical ability, which is going to be better for 90% of the cases where the enemy isn't weak to either spell and it can crit.

I think it's fair, otherwise it would be extremely broken.
You are saving three turns in one, with no cost for three turns. And all you need is one Persona with all 3 Auto-Ma skills to make most battles a breeze
Anyone should be able to clear most encounters with a big boost like that in 3 turns

>>376870559
Suku- makes more sense on NG Hard/Merciless, since Rakukaja/Tarunda only goes so far when enemies are doing 1.6x damage compared to Normal.
>>
>>376853806

Thing about the party in this game is that everyone brings something to the table besides elemental weaknesses. He may be outclassed, but he still has good things going for him, like Baton Pass buffs and Evasion/Speed party buff.

Makoto is best girl, but worst party member. Shit heals and practically nothing is weak to Nuke.

>>376870629
>No she can't.
Objectively wrong - Charge + One Shot Kill + Cripple + Crit = more damage than Ann and infinitely less SP used as well.

You'll be using debilitate for bosses and never use buffs/debuffs for most normal fights.

I'll give you that, if Morgana didn't have miracle punch I doubt anyone would bother defending him, that's his only plus

That's nowhere near as bad as missing in press turn which means losing a bunch of your turns.

Everyone in P5 is viable, it's just that Morgana's advantages over Makoto (ailment heals, higher luck, slightly higher Ma) aren't as useful as Makoto's.

You still lose all the turns that were used to prepare the attack. And against tougher enemies and bosses it can mean the difference between crippling them or outright killing them and getting crippled and/or wiped.

Ryuji is strong the entire game
Yusuke is strong the entire game and much stronger vs random battles/demon bosses on Merciless
Haru is much stronger vs random battles/demon bosses especially on Merciless and compliments Yusuke really well.

Ann only shines on bosses that have low/can't be critically hit which is where she becomes better than Yusuke and Haru. This makes her stronger than both of them inherently on Hard or lower for the most part by the end of the game. I think it's worth saying but her beginning toolkit is so very good for survival against just about everything and worth a slot on that alone until you become stronger.

As for Morgana vs Makoto I think it goes to Makoto pretty handily in the very end, but Morgana before that, especially on Merciless. I think it's worth noting that the further in the game you get, the less and less healing gets super required because of how good Endure coupled with Futaba is + good items.

A good ability would be a unique flash bomb that has a high chance of dizzy and a 100% hit rate.

Haha I died the exact same way when I charged & used Vishnu's riot gun.
Felt really dumb after.

>I think it's worth saying but her beginning toolkit is so very good for survival against just about everything and worth a slot on that alone until you become stronger.
This is true, her tarunda and sleep skills were useful when dealing with strong enemies in early game.

Considering Carmen's backstory I'm surprised she doesn't learn Marin Karin

Yeah it's weird that the last status condition attack she learns is tentarofoo instead of that party wide brainwash attack some mementos bosses use.

>>376872750
Interesting how charm is now brainwash

Considering there's that special lust condition yaldabaoth casts on you I think they wanted to make the distinction between the two.

if that was a concern, they wouldn't also make Yaldy inflict you with suddenly-special-status hunger.

Which characters have the best follow-up attack animations and why are they Yusuke and Makoto? Makoto's is my favourite of the lot.
