Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3

[OblivionKnight]

If you didn't see this coming, you really don't know me.  I'm not writing you a Christmas Card this year either.

Persona 3 uses a turn-based modified press-turn system.  What does this mean?  Battles are entered onscreen by striking enemies or being struck by them.  Once struck, you'll enter a turn-based battle system where either you (if you struck an unaware enemy) or the enemies (if they struck you first) or neither (if you struck them and they were aware of you) will get a free set of actions before the turn-based combat begins (moving in the order from top to bottom on the party list).  In normal turn-based combat (barring the few scripted exceptions), Minato Arisato (the protagonist) always strikes first.  After that, characters act in what appears to be a completely random order, so no speed hype here.

Where it gets interesting is if a character criticals or strikes a weakness.  Doing either grants a press turn, much like in DDS or SMTN.  The press turn, however, is a bit different.  Called a "1 More!", this gives the character that criticalled or struck a weakness an extra turn.  The enemy criticalled or hit with a weakness is then inflicted with the "Knocked Down" status.  A character in this state that is again struck by their weakness or a critical does not yield another "1 More!", and will immediately get back up (they will get up if struck by any non-damaging attack, so status does not cause them to get back up, nor do stat-breaks).  If not struck, however, the downed target cannot act their next turn (whether it comes at the end of the round or the next round or whenever), instead using it to get back up.  If they are struck with their weakness or a critical again, they are again knocked down and must spend their next turn getting up (or, as mentioned earlier, if they're hit with anything while in the downed state, they will get back up automatically and won't have to forfeit their next turn).  Chains of knocking opponents down indefinitely are easily possible, preventing them from ever getting an action. 

Minato is the only character that can equip multiple personas.  He can have up to a max of 12 at a time, and has access to every single persona in the game.  However, to get the ultimate personas of a social link, there's a large, overarching quest that is generally a really annoying thing to do if you want them all in the first playthrough (but easily possible).  Several of the social links (DEATH, FOOL, JUDGMENT) auto-max, so there should be no issue there.  I'm going to list every potentially useful persona, but for purposes of the stat averages and the like, I'll be defaulting him to Thanatos, the ultimate DEATH persona.  This is for a few reasons.  One, it's heavily implied plot-wise to be his ultimate.  Two, it's fairly close to the endgame levels I chose of 78 (Thanatos starts at level 64 and learns his last skill at level 71), when most of the other party members learn their last skills.  Third, using Thanatos keeps all the characters generally in line and on equal footing.  Obviously, Thanatos isn't the best (Alice, the penultimate DEATH, is pretty much better in all ways DL-wise, as are many of the other arcana...but what would you expect from one of the few arcanas that are basically handed to you at max?), but it works well enough.  As a not, all of Minato's personas are taken at the level they learn their last skills (ex., Messiah requires level 90 to make, but learns its last skill at 95, so he's taken at level 95).

Levels, as stated, are taken at level 78.  Most characters learn their last spells around that point, so it's a decent estimation.  There's a major difference between stats in Persona 3: HP and SP are based on the character; STR, MAG, END, AGI, LUK are based on the persona; ATK and DEF are based on equipment.  As such, stats with Minato will be highly variable based on the persona (as gaining levels makes the persona gain 3 stat points that don't carry over between persona when switched), while stats for the other characters are highly variable based on levels.  For Minato, the stats of each persona are listed after they've gained enough levels to learn their last skill (generally 5-8 levels). 

As for equipment...this was interesting.  All of Koromaru and Aigis's equipment is entirely unique, so no issues there.  The Armour of Light is unique to Minato.  The next best human stuff is found in Monad Depths, but it's kind of entirely random, and none of it is unique.  The best storebought stuff is level 70, and that's where the Papal Robes and Hanzo's Shoes come from.  Weapons...again, Aigis and Koromaru have completely unique ones.  All other weapons are shared by Minato and one other character (Bows for Yukari, Two-handed swords for Junpei, One-handed swords for Mitsuru, Fists for Akihiko, Spears for Ken, and Bludgeons for Shinjiro).  However, Shinjiro is a temp, so one could argue that Minato has an entirely unique weapon category, enabling all the other characters to use ultimate weapons of their class while Minato uses the ultimate axe.  The only issue with this is that all the physicals become the same (barring Weapon Mastery skills).  In addition, all ultimate are found in Monad Depths, in random chests just like the armour.  Aigis and Koromaru and Minato complicate this a bit, as their ultimate armours are found from persona fertilization (of Messiah, specifically, who needs to be level 96 to drop these items - this isn't hard, though, as max JUDGMENT arcana gets him to level 95 automatically).  So, to keep everything in-line and save some headaches, I did this with level 70 storebought equipment.  Minato is defaulting to a one-handed sword, due to one of Thanatos's default skills.  Ultimate unique equipment for Aigis, Minato and Koromaru looks like this:

Armour of Light: 170 DEF (Minato) 
Aigis Armor v.0: 164 DEF (Aigis)
Aigis Legs v.0: 140 EVA (Aigis)
Aura Dog Suit: 160 DEF (Koromaru)
All ultimate weapons: 400 ATK, 99 HIT

An interesting note is that nearly all weapons and armour have a random extra effect.  This ranges from additional core stats (STR, MAG, etc.) to status effects (poison, charm, etc.).  Only a few weapons and armour have a set bonus effect that always appears on it.  95% of these are DL-illegal.  The ones that are DL-legal are not worth it.  This saves me time >_>

In addition, Minato is the only one that can use items, for the most part.  All characters can use Medicine and Medical Powder (50 and 100 HP healing, respectively), but that's the extent of their item usage.  Minato is the only person that can use every other item in the game.  Despite this, there isn't too much that's super useful, mostly because he has all those personas to use <_<  Potentially useful items will be listed in his stat section, underneath his fusions.

One neat thing with this is that the characters can nullify their weaknesses (except Koromaru and Ken) with these added effects on armour.  There are properties for resistance to ice, lightning, fire and wind (low, medium and high levels, which correspond to 10%, 20% and 30%, respectively).  These resistances override weaknesses, so that, if Akihiko had a 10% resistance to ice armour on, he would be 10% resistant to ice (not 40% weak or any other combination of calculations).  These are very easy to acquire, so I can easily see allowing the characters to get the resistances and block their weaknesses. 

In terms of AI, I don't see any reason to penalize the non-Minato cast.  The AI in-game is excellent, and learns from its mistakes pretty well.  It won't use ice spells on an enemy that absorbs it, for instance.  The AI will generally always use its strongest attack when it can, and heal when necessary, or use support skills.  You can even modify the AI settings indivudally for extra effect.  So I really don't see a reason to penalize the characters, as AI is rarely a problem in-game.

Might be helpful to explain what the stats mean:

HP: Stands for Hit Points.  These indicate the life force that makes up the character's existence.  When these equal 0, the character is dead.
SP: Spirit points, necessary for casting spells.  Unlike in the previous Persona games, each spell has a different cost, instead of being related to the persona equipped.
STR: Strength, which affects persona physical attack strength.
MAG: Magic, which affects persona magical attack strength,
END: Endurance, which affects defense against all attacks.
AGI: Agility, which affects speed, hit rate and evasion.
LUC: Luck, which affects status accuracy on both ends, as well as critical hit rates, accuracy, and evasion.
ATK: Weapon attack, which affects basic physical damage.
HIT: Weapon accuracy, which affects basic physical accuracy.
DEF: Armour defense, which affects defense against physical attacks.
EVA: Armour evasion, which affects evasion against all attacks.

Physical defense is a combination of armour DEF (subractive) and END (divisive).  Magical defense is entirely END (divisive).  Evasion (both magical and physical) is based on armour EVA, AGI, and LUC.  In addition, level affects everything.

Next up...attributes!

Fire, Ice, Electric and Wind are fairly easy to discern elements.  Nothing wrong with them.
Strike, Pierce and Slash are physical elements, and relate to fists/bludgeons, spears/guns/bows and swords/axes respectively.
Light and Dark are fairly easy to discern, but do take note that these elements are entirely instant death.  However you take that is up to you - you could argue that Koromaru is immune to instant death, or not, because of his Void: Dark and Weak: Light affinities. 
Almighty is speshul.  This 'element' is an attack property that pierces all resistances.  It cannot be blocked (save for special circumstances), and almighty attacks, while they can hit physical or magical defense, are not magical or physical by any means (Makarakarn and Tetrakarn don't work on them).

For affinities:

Weak: 50% increase in damage (or hit rate, in the case of light and dark skills)
Strong: 50% reduction in damage (or hit rate, in the case of light and dark skills)
Void: Nulls the affinity in question
Repel: Reflects the affinity in question
Drain: Absorbs the affinity in question

For averages, I don't use attacks in the average that cause damage to the user, which is why Junpei and Aigis don't have their theoretical best attacks listed.  Any skill listed with a (P) is a passive skill that is always active while that persona is in use.  Generally, if an attack uses HP, it's physical and if it uses SP, it's magical.

Statuses generally last from 3-5 turns, except poison (which lasts forever) and shock/freeze (which last until the afflicted's next action).

Poison: 20% MHP damage taken at the end of the afflicted's turn; any action - waiting, attacking, healing, etc. - will cause damage
Panic: Prevents afflicted from using special abilities (physical and magical) and increases their susceptibility to critical hits by 50%
Distress: Defense drops 50%, evasion drops to 0, increases susceptibility to critical hits by 50%
Fear: Character's accuracy decreases by 50% while their susceptibility to critical hits increases by 50%, as well as a 25% chance that the character will not act on their turn or try to run away
Charm: Afflicted will always take an action to assist an opponent, healing them or attacking allies
Rage: Afflicted character will only use basic physical attacks, but will use them at double power and double-act them; damage taken while under this status is 3x normal
Shock: Increases susceptibility to critical hits by 50%, evasion drops to 0
Freeze: Increases susceptibility to critical hits by 50%, evasion drops to 0

*NOTES*
Shinjiro is a temporary character.  I don't have the stats for his temp appearance, or scaled to end yet.  Nonetheless, he has endgame skills (level 77), and can easily make it up to those levels 2nd time through.  I'll post both stats for both appearances later.  Right now, thanks to Captain K., I have level 78 stats.

[Captain K.]

According to the instruction booklet, Freeze and Shock both drop evasion to zero, but only Shock adds to crit rate.

[Captain K.]

You also forgot the Distress status.  Evade drops to zero, defense lowers, and it's easier for the enemy to get critical hits against you.

Here's Shinjiro's level 78 stats (I overshot 77).  I kept my file with him, so I can get level 99 stats if needed.

Persona: Castor (Heirophant).  No weaknesses or resists.

I haven't gotten a chance to do this yet, but thank you very much, Captain.  The Shinjiro stats and assorted other info have been a great help.  I'm going to work on integrating them.  Thanks a lot.

*Jin has a very distinct pattern that I could see holding against him.  He will always use an attack, MT or ST, that one of the characters in the party is weak to.  If he gets a 1 More!!, Jin will then use his Fire Attack on the downed character.  He will generally use the MT version of the elemental attacks, though will be more likely to use the ST version against the party if only one character has a weakness.  If no one in the party is weak to anything, Jin will respond by spamming status and Megido.  He will follow this pattern for the entire battle.

Silver Saber- 71 Physical Damage, Boosts Bufudyne to 279 (287 w/ Magic Sandals)
Mind Charge- Doubles the Next Spell's Damage
Tentarafoo- 40% MT Silence

Ken
Sexy Lance- 119 Physical Damage, 20% Charm
Hamaon- 47% Hit Holy ID

Koromaru
Agidyne- Closer to 227 damage, everyone else's magic damage is in line
Mudoon- 33% Darkness ID
Evil Smile- 33% MT Fear

Aigis
Orgia Mode- Lasts 2 turns, and then sends her into overheat the beginning the third turn. Doubles damage done (Can only use her physical though), doubles her defenses and evasion, boosts her accuracy, and makes her status immune. (The other version is in FES, not original Persona).

MAGIC SANDALS
Equipable by all the humans. Boosts Mitsuru/Aki/Koro's magic by 8, and Yukari/Junpei/Ken's magic by 5. Removes some evasion, but I didn't test how much exactly.

Effective Defense
Point of END appeared to cut off about 0.8% of damage at L78. Based on that:
1) Aigis - Cuts Damage 9.6%
2) Junpei - Cuts Damage 4.8%
3) Ken - Takes Extra 0.8%
4) Koromaru - Takes Extra 1.6%
5) Akihiko -  Takes Extra 3.2%
6) Yukari - Takes Extra 3.2%
7) Mitsuru - Takes Extra 5.6%

Durability
1) Aigis- 121.9% (152.3% under Marakukaja) (243.8% under Orgia Mode) (304.8% under Marakukaja and Orgia Mode)
2) Koromaru- 113.1%
3) Junpei- 110.6%
4) Akihiko- 97.5% (121.9% under Matarunda)
5) Mitsuru- 95.3%
6) Ken- 90.3%
7) Yukari- 78.9%

Effective Evade (Raw Evade)
1) Koromaru- 16.2% (32.8%)
2) Ken- 2.2% (21.5%)
3) Akhiko- -2.2% (18%)...(23.4% under Masukunda) (38.5%)
4) Mitsuru- -2.8% (17.5%)
5) Aigis- -3.4% (17%) (48.3% under Orgia Mode (58.5%)) (22.5% under Masukukaja (37.8%)) (61.25% under Orgia and Kaja (68.9%))
6) Junpei- -4.7% (16%)
7) Yukari- -5.3% (15.5%)

ACCURACY
Those base hit rates might actually be max (Since you'll still see whiffs against L2 enemies when you have Auto-Masuku). Against endgames enemies, Junpei/Yukari/Aigis might lose a sliver of accuracy normally, but otherwise that base hit rates work fairly well.

CRIT RATES
Normal Attack have a crit rate of 5%. Most physical techs seem to have a crit rate of 5% higher than the base rate (Tested a fair amount with both a 5% and 10% base crit rate tech). Enemies don't seem to have any stat that reduces crit rates, as they were unchanged on level 1 vs level 250. Crits are 1.8x damage compared to the base.

Close range physical fighters also have a 10% of doing 1.5x damage compared to the base.

STATUS DURATION
Most of them are 2 turns, and then wear off at the start of the enemy's third turn. Fear seems to last an extra turn.

**** I have no idea how to get him to use these in game, so these are estimates. He won’t use them automatically if the main has a weakness to both types of ID and nothing else, and he will spam everything but these. Using Ken and Koro maybe (And not just Ken, that didn’t do it).

[Talaysen]

Just throwing my old unfinished boss topic in here.

Yeah, this isn't complete yet, but it's a start.

Persona 3 is turn based with everyone deciding their action right before they act.  Think SMRPG.  The protagonist gets initiative for all boss fights where the boss doesn't get initiative (and then the protagonist goes right after that).  Probably doesn't matter but just throwing it out there.

Similar to SMT:N and the DDS series, if you hit weakness or critical, you get another turn.  However, it's a little different here.  In addition to getting another turn, the target is knocked down.  Down status only lasts until the character's next turn or until attacked.  If they are not attacked, they waste their next turn recovering from the status and cannot act.  If they are attacked, they take 20% more damage.  In addition, critting or hitting weakness to someone with Down status does NOT give an extra turn, so no infinite turns hype here.  Also, MT skills only give an extra turn if EVERYTHING is weak to the attack (or it crits everyone I assume).

That's about it.  I think.

Note:  I'm assuming agility affects turn order as of now, but I have the feeling it actually doesn't.  Turn order is pretty random and decided at the beginning of the battle in either case, so take the speed numbers with a grain of salt, even if agility actually does affect speed.

Note: If there are any references to "lightning", I really mean "electricity". They're interchangeable, the game just calls it "electricity".

Statuses
Poison: 20% mHP damage at the end of the affected's turn.  Permanent.
Panic: Haven't seen it yet!
Fear: Chance of not acting (25%?) and opponents have a significantly increased chance to critical hit.  Temporary.
Distress: Opponents have a significantly increased chance to critical hit.  I don't know if PCs can be hit by this, or bosses.
Charm: Attack allies/heal enemies.  Nothing new here.  Temporary.
Shock: Opponents have increased chance to critical hit.  Lasts one turn.
Freeze: Opponents have increased chance to critical hit.  Lasts one turn.
Down: Cannot act.  Next attack against the character deals 20% more damage.  Opponent cannot get an extra turn by hitting weakness or criticalling.  Wears off after one turn (character loses that turn) or after being attacked.  Status attacks (and probably non-damage attacks in general) do NOT remove Down status.

Bosses

The bosses with asterisks are the plot bosses.  Everything else comes from the Tartarus and are somewhat optional.  You can only level up in Tartarus so a lot of them will be fought anyways though.

Damage: 77 to average (306 per round)

Comments: Not bad HP but really good defenses to back it up, with Rakukaja to make the tanking strategy even better.  Damage isn't great but good enough.  Heavy.

Empress*
Fights with Emperor.

Weak: Slash, Strike, Pierce (all physical elements)
Null: Fire, Ice, Wind, Thunder, Light, Darkness (all magical elements)

Junpei:
Attack: 93 Slash damage. (Hits weakness.)

Averages:
HP: 181
SP: 116.67
Speed: 8 (SD 3.61)
Damage: 60 to average (180 per round)

Comments: I saw Paradigm Shift grant immunity to everything except Pierce (bows), so that's really good in a duel.  However, she needs a turn to get it off.  She doesn't get turns if hit by physicals.  Not a good combination.  Light.

Emperor*
Fights with Empress.

Weak: Fire, Ice, Wind, Thunder (all magic elements besides Light and Dark)
Null: Slash, Strike, Pierce (all physical elements), Light, Dark

HP: 600

Averages:
HP: 181
SP: 116.67
Speed: 8 (SD 3.61)
Damage: 60 (180 per round)

Comments:  Same as Empress pretty much, except needs to be hit by magic instead of physicals.  Pretty much only wins against pure physical fighters or people with poor resources.  Better than Empress, but probably still Light.

Golden Bug (x3)
Null: Ice, Light, Dark
Weak: Lightning
Strong: Slash, Strike, Pierce (all physical elements), Lightning

HP: 240
SP: 240

HP: 198.4
SP: 135.2
Speed: 9.2 (SD 3.27)
Damage: ~60 to average (240 per round).

Comments: HP is suck but major spoiling to physical attacks.  Magic works though, except Lightning which he is both strong and weak to (what the hell?) which means he takes crap damage but gets downed by it.  Initiative Tarukaja means he has probably overkill damage from his first normal turn, which is scary.  Heavy.  The magic durability is just too bad.

Intrepid Knight
Null: Light, Dark
Absorb: Wind

HP: 1000
SP: 102
Speed: Faster than everyone (>=15)

Takes about 66% less damage from physical attacks.

Makarakarn: Reflects magic attacks for 3 turns.

Bufu (4 SP): 36 ice damage.

HP: 218
SP: 149
Speed: 12.11 (SD 2.94)
Damage: 70 to average (280 per round)

Comments: More physical tankishness.  Magic works better but he still tanks it pretty well, and can reflect it after turn 1 anyways.  Damage is solid to start, but he has Mind Charge to boost that to overkill.  Supposedly he has a skill to stop Wind resistance/immunity but I never saw it myself.  Good Godlike.

[OblivionKnight]

Been a long time coming, but...stat topic update above completed.  Used some of the stuff I learned from P4, and added/fixed a lot of things (documentation errors suck >_>).  Nothing too changing overall (factored some higher levels in to the bosses, modified the status rates based on a few factors, changed some set-ups, etc.), but still some things to take a look at.

Anyway, main point of this post is for the long-put-off Fes stuff.  So...split in to two sections!

Note that not everything is completely updated yet, but most of the stuff is.


The Journey

PC changes
Like anyone cares about him, but Minato's personas were changed.  His killer ones (Helel and Satan for Armageddon) are mostly unchanged, although Messiah got a lot better, as did most of the physical personas.  Still, it really doesn't matter much.

Junpei loses Deathbound but gains Brave Blade.  This deals 278 slash damage, at a 20% MHP cost, with a 10% critical rate.  He also loses Assault Dive for Fire Break, but no one cares about this >_>.  In addition, HP costs were lowered for Vorpal Blade (21% MHP) and Gigantic Fist (12% MHP).  Decent boosts overall.

Koromaru loses Evil Smile and Fire Break, but gains Mudo Boost and Masukukaja instead.  This is a huge winning trade >_>  His Mudoon is now 45% accurate, which helps a good deal. 

Equipment Changes
Weapon fusions are available now.  This opens up a load of options that are somewhat variable.  Relevent ones:
- Evade "element" (3x evasion vs. specified element)
- Amp or Boost to an element
- Status resistance (50% to any, or even all status)
- Auto-kaja (any)
- Boosted HP or SP
- Bonus stats
- Additional critical rate

By fusing specific personas, special weapons can be forged.  There are two types:
- 450 ATK, 94-100 HIT, +10 to all stats weapons.  There is one of each class of weapons.
- 260-400 ATK, 80-95 HIT, Boost effect to an element, elementalizes physical.  Only Yukari and Ken can make use of the boosted element effect.  Mitsuru's physical becomes fire, Akihiko's becomes ice, Ken can also get a wind-aligned physical, and Shinjiro can get an electric-aligned physical if you allow it 

No other major changes I have noted.  Yay, easier!   


The Answer

PC Changes
Junpei does not learn Brave Blade (keeps Deathbound) in this version.  No other skill changes.

ON THE OTHER HAND, Junpei, Mitsuru, and Koro have about an additional +40 stat points distributed to all their stats.  For some random reason.  They're in proportion to their usual stats, but still, pretty nice.  Koro in particular likes this, as his AGI is pretty freakish (72), and his LUC is boosted greatly (Mudoon goes about 55% accurate).  Damage for Mitsuru and Junpei rises (311 for Mitsuru with Bufudyne, Junpei's physicals all jump 20-50 damage or so).

As for Aigis...she gains Minato's SP and HP totals, and can use every persona in the game that he can.  She cannot use Fusions, and some personas have a few changes (Surt naturally does not learn Fire Amp, for instance), but in general, see Minato, subtract Fusions.  She also has unique equipment, with her best storeboughts adding +5 MAG and +5 AGI, so her damage and evasion and accuracy are a bit better than Minato.

And the ElCid's shall rejoice! Finally finished testing the game's extra little quirks. Already put them into by above post, but I'll also throw them here since it's mostly new. So here are Alternate Equip Options/Evasion/Defenses/Accuracy/Crit Rates.

Notes/Corrections (By PC)
Yukari
Siren’s Song- 37 Physical Damage, 10% Silence

Junpei
Dark Slayer- 99 Physical Damage, 20% Rage
Kishido Blade- 29 Physical Damage, 10% Crit Rate, 20% Extra Damage Rate
High Counter- 25% Rate

Akihiko
Wicked Cestus- 132 Physical Damage, 20% Crit Rage, 60% Extra Damage Rate
Sonic Fist- 70 Physical Damage, 20% Fear

Mitsuru
Main Gauche- 108 Physical Damage, 30% Distress
Silver Saber- 71 Physical Damage, Boosts Bufudyne to 279 (287 w/ Magic Sandals)
Mind Charge- Doubles the Next Spell's Damage
Tentarafoo- 40% MT Silence

Ken
Sexy Lance- 119 Physical Damage, 20% Charm
Hamaon- 47% Hit Holy ID

Koromaru
Agidyne- Closer to 227 damage, everyone else's magic damage is in line
Mudoon- 33% Darkness ID
Evil Smile- 33% MT Fear

Aigis
Orgia Mode- Lasts 2 turns, and then sends her into overheat the beginning the third turn. Doubles damage done (Can only use her physical though), doubles her defenses and evasion, boosts her accuracy, and makes her status immune. (The other version is in FES, not original Persona).

MAGIC SANDALS
Equipable by all the humans. Boosts Mitsuru/Aki/Koro's magic by 8, and Yukari/Junpei/Ken's magic by 5. Removes some evasion, but I didn't test how much exactly.

Effective Defense
Point of END appeared to cut off about 0.8% of damage at L78. Based on that:
1) Aigis - Cuts Damage 9.6%
2) Junpei - Cuts Damage 4.8%
3) Ken - Takes Extra 0.8%
4) Koromaru - Takes Extra 1.6%
5) Akihiko -  Takes Extra 3.2%
6) Yukari - Takes Extra 3.2%
7) Mitsuru - Takes Extra 5.6%

Durability
1) Aigis- 121.9% (152.3% under Marakukaja) (243.8% under Orgia Mode) (304.8% under Marakukaja and Orgia Mode)
2) Koromaru- 113.1%
3) Junpei- 110.6%
4) Akihiko- 97.5% (121.9% under Matarunda)
5) Mitsuru- 95.3%
6) Ken- 90.3%
7) Yukari- 78.9%

Effective Evade (Raw Evade)
1) Koromaru- 16.2% (32.8%)
2) Ken- 2.2% (21.5%)
3) Akhiko- -2.2% (18%)...(23.4% under Masukunda) (38.5%)
4) Mitsuru- -2.8% (17.5%)
5) Aigis- -3.4% (17%) (48.3% under Orgia Mode (58.5%)) (22.5% under Masukukaja (37.8%)) (61.25% under Orgia and Kaja (68.9%))
6) Junpei- -4.7% (16%)
7) Yukari- -5.3% (15.5%)

ACCURACY
Those base hit rates might actually be max (Since you'll still see whiffs against L2 enemies when you have Auto-Masuku). Against endgames enemies, Junpei/Yukari/Aigis might lose a sliver of accuracy normally, but otherwise that base hit rates work fairly well.

CRIT RATES
Normal Attack have a crit rate of 5%. Most physical techs seem to have a crit rate of 5% higher than the base rate (Tested a fair amount with both a 5% and 10% base crit rate tech). Enemies don't seem to have any stat that reduces crit rates, as they were unchanged on level 1 vs level 250. Crits are 1.8x damage compared to the base.

Close range physical fighters also have a 10% of doing 1.5x damage compared to the base.

STATUS DURATION
Most of them are 2 turns, and then wear off at the start of the enemy's third turn. Fear seems to last an extra turn.

[Random Consonant]

On the off chance that one of these idiots gets used in something ever again and forces me to care about accessories, here it goes, a very lazy effort post for my own references.  Also P3P shit because that's the version I played and like hell I'm going to touch some worse version of the game, and making a new stat topic is too much work because then I'd be obligated to overhaul Minato stuff and noooo that can get fucked.

So first, accessories.  All of the following are storebought in P3P:
Vitality Ring: +30% Max HP
Magic Ring: +30% Max SP
Power/Guard/Speed Enhancer: Grants Tarukaja/Rakukaja/Sukukaja for the first three turns of battle
Prayer Beads/Rosary: Low chance of revival from dark/light-based instant death
Fire/Ice/Thunder/Wind Bracers: Grants Fire/Ice/Elec/Wind Boost, stacks with respective Amp skills
Agni/Varuna/Indra/Vayu Bracers: Grants Fire/Ice/Elec/Wind Amp, stacks with respective Boost skills
Slash/Strike/Pierce Ward: Increases evasion against Slash/Strike/Pierce attacks
Flame/Ice/Thunder/Wind Charm: Increases evasion against Fire/Ice/Elec/Wind attacks
Giga Power/Magic/Guard/Speed/Luck Band: +10 Str/Mag/End/Agi/Luck

I'm going to assume the Boost accessories for those with Amps, the Amp accessories for those without, and the Power Enhancer for Aigis because she needs all the help she can get at this point, though since she can cast Matarukaja herself the Giga Power Band might actually be better long-term.  Junpei might want a Power Enhancer too on the chance that he can kill something with two Brave Blades but I think he's going to want better fallback damage that doesn't kill him, since two Brave Blades won't kill average anyways, I've listed him with both setups since hey, physical spoilers do exist.  There's also Heart Items which is pretty much the only way the cast isn't fucked over by status, but I don't consider them.  The evasion boosters shouldn't be too great, but Akihiko might care if he faces down an ice mage.

Other equipment!  Some stuff actually gives stats!  Again sticking with storebought stuff here.

Weapons by Character:
-Yukari:
--Yoichi's Bow: 318 ATK, 88 HIT, +3 Mag
--Lightning Bow: 281 ATK, 88 HIT, +3 Agi
--Toy Bow: 100 ATK, 99 HIT, 30% chance of inflicting Rage (casual experience tells me this may be closer to 20%, but if it is so are all the other high rate status weapons)
-Junpei:
--Elixir Sword: 351 ATK, 90 HIT, +3 Mag
--Caladbolg: 284 ATK, 90 HIT, +2 Str
--Spiked Bat: 130 ATK, 99 HIT, 30% chance of inflicting Fear
-Akihiko:
--Wings of Vanth: 304 ATK, 97 HIT, +2 Agi
--Jack's Gloves: 100 ATK, 99 HIT, 30% chance of inflicting Charm
-Mitsuru:
--Brionac: 335 ATK, 92 HIT, +3 Mag
--Illuminati: 271 ATK, 92 HIT, +30 SP
--Skrep: 167 ATK, 92 HIT, 20% chance of inflicting Panic
--Malice Marry: 136 ATK, 92 HIT, 20% chance of inflicting Poison
--Flamberge: 55 ATK, 92 HIT, 10% chance of inflicting Charm
-Aigis:
--Pandemonium: 331 ATK, 92 HIT, +3 Luck
-Koromaru:
--Athame: 304 ATK, 95 HIT
--Shadowrend: 272 ATK, 95 HIT, +3 Agi
--Pesh Kabz: 258 ATK, 95 HIT, +2 Mag
-Ken:
--Romulus' Spear: 319 ATK, 95 HIT, +3 Mag
--Ningen Mukotsu: 259 ATK, 95 HIT, +3 Str
--Scrub Brush: 190 ATK, 99 HIT, 30% chance of inflicting Distress

Based on extrapolation, each point of Mag increases damage dealt by an amped -dyne spell by roughly 2 points at endgame.  The actual increase is greater on the lower end of the magic scale and lower on the higher end, but this level of precision should suffice.  Strength is trickier to pin down but should be somewhat more effective than boosting Mag for the people who actually care since they get skills that have higher mults than -dyne spells, my guess is roughly 3 points for God's Hand/Primal Force, a little lower for Brave Blade, 1-2 for Akasha Arts and a little lower than that for Vile Assault.  Again this is going to be greater at the lower end of the strength scale and less on the higher end, but probably not by enough to care unless I've made a greivous error in trusting this stat topic.  In addition, status weapons previously mentioned still exist, with the exception of Junpei's Dark Slayer.  Minato also gets changes, but 1) there's actual differences between what guy and girl Minato get come endgame, and 2) no one cares about Minato anyways.  If I care and someone asks I'll grab stuff for girl Minato but otherwise no.

Armor (unless it's specified that Aigis/Koromaru can equip something here, they can't):
Papal Robe: 128 DEF
Final Armor: 118 DEF, +1 to all stats
Phantom Robe: 112 DEF, +2 Luck
Kukai's Vestment: 106 DEF, +3 Mag
Mantle of Wind: 82 DEF, +2 Agi
Papillon Method: 132 DEF, +3 Mag, Aigis only (like she has a use for her Mag stat but the only other armor worth mentioning has identical DEF on the off chance that actually -does- anything, so uh she is slightly less vulnerable to Negatis, go her)
Dark Dog Suit: 122 DEF, Koromaru only

The female cast members (including Aigis) also get a +50 SP option, the male cast members get a +30 SP option, and all human cast members have a +30 HP option as well.  I'm probably going to assume Final Armor as default since the extra speed and endurance work for everyone and DEF probably doesn't even do anything.

Footwear (armor disclaimer goes here):
Hanzo's Sandals: 98 EVA
Holy Shoes: 96 EVA, increases evasion against Elec attacks
War God's Boots: 90 EVA, increases evasion against Fire attacks
Idaten's Sandals: 88 EVA, increases evasion against Ice attacks
Mirage Sandals: 80 EVA, increases evasion against magic attacks slightly
Killer Cleats: 72 EVA, +3 Str
Jet Boots: 58 EVA, +4 Agi
Magic Sandals: 38 EVA, +3 Mag
Kugelbein: 95 EVA, Aigis Only
Bare Paws: 125 EVA, Koromaru can't equip shoes, he's a dog.

Akihiko is probably the only one who can actually wring mileage out of the shoes that increase evade against an element.  Past that it's either stick with what they have or tank any hope of dodging for beating out the speed average or MOAR DAMAGE.

Skillset Changes:
-Junpei:
--Brave Blade replaces Deathbound, as with FES, 20% MHP cost, deals the same damage as Vorpal Blade, which itself should be dealing slightly less than what Shinjiro's God's Hand is listed as doing as opposed to the ~40 points worth of difference the topic lists.  I don't have a formula handy and for all I know it might have been weaker in the original anyways.  Seems to fit the implications of the Str stat anyways.  OK pegged Brave Blade at 278 which seems to fit my very loose testing/extrapolation so that's what I'm going with here.
--Vorpal Blade costs 21% MHP.
--Fire Break replaces Assault Dive, as with FES.
-Aigis:
--God's Hand costs 14% MHP.
--Akasha Arts costs 19% MHP.
-Koromaru:
--Mudo Boost and Masukukaja replace Evil Smile and Fire Break, as with FES.
-Ken:
-Primal Force replaces Hama Boost, costs 21% MHP, deals about ~208 pierce damage based on extrapolation/loose testing, or ~217 w/Ningen Mukotsu.
-Vile Assault costs 12% MHP.

Extremely rough damage averages, assuming the mentioned accessories/Final Armor/Hanzo's Sandals as default, with naive HP cost proration factored in for physical skills, along with marginally competent backup stuff in case they ever matter that weren't already mentioned:
[Minato: Something dumb like 580 with Power Enhancer using Surt and Ragnarok from the looks of things]
Yukari: 288 (Garudyne)
Junpei: ~224 (Brave Blade)/~209 (Agidyne) with Elixir Sword (Brave Blade should be ~356 with Power Enhancer/Caladbolg before any proration)
Akihiko: 313 (Ziodyne)
Mitsuru: 351 (Bufudyne)
Aigis: ~233 (God's Hand)/~259 (Akasha Arts assumed to do 1.5 hits, which I'm not sure it actually does on average but let's go with it and keep the other figure around in case this is wrong) (assuming Power Enhancer)
Koromaru: 288 (Agidyne) (assumes Pesh Kabz as default weapon and dhyer's cited 227 figure for his accessoryless damage)
Ken: 254 (Ziodyne)
Average: 282.4 (291.1 with Power Enhancer on Junpei instead of Agni Bracers) [319.6 with Minato wrecking averages]
2.5x killpoint: 706 (727.75 with above assumption) [799 with Minato being an OP shitlord]

Again this is largely based on extrapolation, loose testing, and guesswork, so cue someone coming in to say I'm wrong about everything.  Tweaking options exist (and make Aigis sadder) but shouldn't amount to more than a dozen points worth of difference.

Agility given the same assumptions:
1. Koromaru - 64
2. Ken - 57
3. Akihiko - 52
4. Mitsuru - 49
5. Junpei - 46
6t. Yukari - 45
6t. Aigis - 45
Average: 51.14 (7.15 SD)

[Reiska]

While I don't have the time or wherewithal to really do a "proper" stat topic block for P3P Minato, it can essentially be summed up as follows:

Weapons:
- Minato is only allowed to use his own swords now, not other PCs' weapons.  I am not certain if they differ from the PS2 version statistically, none of the FAQs document Minato route shops.
- FeMC weapons:
--Kanemitsu: 335 ATK, 92 HIT, +3 Str
--Atlus Stick: 295 ATK, 92 HIT, +5 Mag

Other:
- Fusion spells are entirely DL illegal under P3P interps as they're now consumables.
- Other than that there's probably not much else different at a glance.
