I played it not too long ago and it instantly became one of my three all-time favorites. It's basically Persona pushed through the magical girl filter. Battle system is basically Atelier Ryza, but you have skills to manipulate the turn order. Here are some screenshots: --- Friggin' angels...

Caster Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Imagine playing Persona 3, you are low on health and desperately need to leave, but you are in the middle of the dungeon, you fail to dodge an enemy and get first struck, and the enemy kills your main character and you game over, this is why this mechanic shouldn't exist.

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) God, I can't believe how exciting soccer matches can be. The one I watched has the been the craziest match ever. I don't find soccer particulary interesting, but it's a rarity to see a match in free TV, so I did it and didn't regret anything. 17 minutes ago, DragonFlames said: Blue Reflection is another game by Gust for PS4 (and PC, iirc), the ones who made Atelier.

Fatigue is still a better mechanic than random encounters for sure since it's in the hands of the player who can avoid the encounters. Fatigue in Persona 3 was a really nice mechanic. In general more JRPGs should bring it up. One reason I like Thracia 776, even if it's not executed very well.

I was not talking about Fatigue at all, I was giving an equivalent example to yours. Which can happen in every rpg without random encounters where enemies make any attempt to hit you on the map, and in some, it might as well be the same as a random encounter.

I like the idea in concept, but fatigue made Tharcia 776 a choir when you’re best characters were tired and you couldn’t use them in critical chapters.

You can SEE the enemies in this example, so you can avoid the fights. That's the little and main difference. I would even sorta understand, if it was referred to fatigue. Quote I like the idea in concept, but fatigue made Tharcia 776 a choir when you’re best characters were tired and you couldn’t use them in critical chapters. Exactly, especially healers and Lara suffer more for having low HP. Using HP stat as base is poor in this regard. It should be based on gained experience per chapter.

No, you don’t need to have played 4 or 6 because the game’s stories aren’t connected. They just are in the same world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
