re: Metaphor ReFantazio: Anyone else playing?

I spoke to soon. The optional dragon boss at the end of the first trial dungeon is by far the hardest boss in the game so far. I tried several different strategies for about 3 hours last night and never came close, I fear i may be under developed archetype wise and think I should have cooked more buff items. All the videos I’ve watched of people fighting it had to buff the shite out of their party in order to take off massive almighty damage and get extra turn icons to beat it. I’m going to have to grind archetypes to beat it I think unless I drop the difficulty. I read on Reddit that the final boss is just as hard which is crazy

Hard. I’m simply not doing near enough damage. I run out of MP before being even close to finishing it. Most of the fights I’ve watched on YouTube involve using several buffs to boost damage in the thousands

Completely different games in almost every way

This game uses personas calender system and while it is turn based it uses SMTs push based turn based style

Its a 10/10 game though dont get me wrong just dont expect clair

If you have never experienced turn based much and more specifically persona/smt turn based i highly recommend you dont play on hard

You will have a ton of questions. Just ask

This game is a bunch more generous than persona games when it comes to the calender system in terms of doing everything in one run. Priortize bonding episodes, on the gaunlet runner read the books

Its always a good idea to do the main dungeons all in one day if you possibly can. Kill without using MP as much as you can

You might want to go with persona 5 royal first as a warm up. It is a much longer game though

this game took me 80 hours the first run on hard, p5r takes me about 110 hours and iknow exactly where to go and what to do i imagine a blind run would top 160

P5 takes a lot longer to get going as well. It takes like 5-6 hours for the game to really begin this game is much faster from the jump

One of the dragons?

That fight is all about flipping his damage back onto him. I could give you a breakdown on how to do it without stating it plainly so you can give it a go with proper knowledge of how you’re meant to win it. It’ll have to be in an email or something though because it will inevitably spoil things for tide

You likely have the archetypes needed
