@JohnnyShoulder at first the battle music is really cool, same with Persona 5 but it does grate over time. Ideally it needs 9 or 10 different battle songs to keep things fresh, if they are going to be that intense. Hopefully I stick at it… spent £60 so I mean to!!

@kyleforrester87 I got a really good deal and got it for 32 quid just before Christmas!

@kyleforrester87 Metaphor's structure definitely feels like a solid evolution of what they did with Persona.

Still really happy I got in pre-release at around $40 on PC, lol.

The best thing is that the difficulty balancing is actually really nice in this game. Much more SMT than Persona. You have to actually play carefully on a higher difficulty setting.

First time I had to drop the difficulty down. One of the enemies in the Dragon God Temple I just couldn't get pass. Killed it first time on easy!

I had changed my party up to try exploit it's weaknesses but it was feeling like I was getting nowhere.

I am possibly a little under levelled however this dungeon had the lowest recommended level compared to the other quests available.

@JohnnyShoulder I stubbornly haven’t dropped the difficulty yet but I struggled mightily in The Spire of Blind Faith. For whatever reason that place was a nightmare for me and I’m just glad that I never have to go in there again.

Which enemies in particular are giving you grief in the dragon temple?

@Jimmer-jammer I think that Spire one I've got upcoming, looking forwad to it!

It was the Crag Manjula that was giving me grief. Tried using strike attacks and stuff like Masked Dancer's ability to make it weak against certain elements, but it always seem to wipe my party out in a couple of goes. All the other enemies in the dungeon I seem to manage ok with.

I’m not really sure when to start changing job roles, I have a healer, knight and warrior all around level 10. Is it better to start bringing some of the others through? I am still in the first dungeon, 6 days left.

@JohnnyShoulder I remember the enemy but can’t remember specifically how I dealt with it 😂 Synthesis attacks have been the key to some of the tougher enemies as I’ve progressed in the game. They can be ridiculously powerful.

@kyleforrester87 It’s definitely worth investing in other archetypes, as you can use their abilities via the ‘inherited skills’ section of your equipped archetype and really start to build parties for pretty much any situation, I’d also recommend developing the Seeker and the Mage. Beyond that, I wouldn’t worry too much as I think the game does a pretty good job of guiding things along early on.

@Jimmer-jammer I faced one yesterday and somehow managed to cast Forget on it, so it couldn't cast any of its spells! Not quite how I did that, but I did steal some of it's MP so maybe that is why.

@kyleforrester87 Yeah I would as some of the next tier of Archetypes you need two of them at a certain level. Magic Kinght you need Knight at level 20 and Mage at level 10 as an example. It has caught me out recently as some of the reccommended Archetypes for some of the dungeons I've not levelled up one of the Archetypes to a high enough level.

I've also found you get more than enough MAG to invest in skills. Money is bit more tighter and I've used the MAG converter a few times. Try to use that on a rainy day/Idlesday to get a better conversion rate.

I see, I read MAG was a bit stingier but maybe that’s wrong then. I was a bit reluctant to go nuts. Also I don’t have many classes available yet really. I got Brawler recently but it seems kinda sucky (maybe I’m wrong!)

Anyway, beat the necromancer, done the desert bounty and the plot is moving along a bit too! Enjoying it.

@kyleforrester87 Hopefully that doesn't come to bite me in the backside then! MP restoring items are quite hard to come by, so you either have to grind or go back to town to rest.

How many days did it take you to complete the dungeon?

Yeah the Brawler can be a pain as you have to keep topping up it's HP. You could always use items to replenish HP, which won't consume MP. I always make sure I buy a load on Idlesday when everying is cheaper. Later on you can cook meals too.

@JohnnyShoulder As someone who's finished the game, I would definitely advise to slow down on the MAG exchange. I never used it and I was running out of MAG by the end of it and had to work to level the archetypes up fot everyone. I think I only just was able to unlock everyone's best archetype before credits rolled, but didn't even master all of them! Meanwhile, the money will come rolling in over time and I had hundreds of thousands in cash with nothing to spend it on.

@Tjuz That is good to know, thanks!

I've not used the exchange for awhile now, but have been spending MAG quite liberally when buying skills.

The Merchant archetype is good to use if you are short of cash.

I'm having a break from the game, hopefully only in the short term. I think I'm quite near the end too. I've tried to get through the cut scenes after the opera house, but real life has gotten in the way.

I am at Brilehaven, still working through the introductory cutscenes - I am guessing there will be lots of side quests here once I am let off the chain. I've been playing 35 hours and I'm level 26-27. Really enjoying it tbh! Hope I don't bounce off it...

Just a friendly piece of advice to stock up on Reset Talismans when available! Lifesaver for me on a certain boss fight.
