Persona 3 Portable, Yattaf solo:
Naginata in hand, Yattaf took a look at Junpei, took a look at Yukari, and promptly realized that they were only going to be liabilities (despite strong "Friendship is stronger" themes in the game) Her first choice as a leader was removing them from the party, forever.
When other people joined the team, they were so hopelessely outmached by Yattaf at that point that, out of an inferiority complex, they all decided on their own to only act as backup/support.
(Except the dog, who's busy being a dog)
Anyway:
- 3x Venus Eagle: They do 20 damage with physicals/Garu, they die in 4 hits from any non wind basic spells, Dia heals for 60.
Solution -> A badass Alp persona with wind protection, Zio and Dia.
- 3x Dancing Hand: Those have every spell available, so any persona with a weakness is out. They do about the same damage as venus eagles but are weak to Strike damage. Unfortunately, the only way to get Strike is Bash, a physical skill that costs 11 HP (Seriously, every HP counts)
Solution -> Ara Mitama persona, with Dia, Rakukaja and Bash. Rakukaja doesn't last long enough, but this isn't a problem when doing damage gives you free turns.
- Rampage Drive: Ara Mitama destroys that guy too!
So far, Yattaf is just starting S-links with everyone, and she hasn't really decided who she'll hang out with yet.
She has decided who she's not going to hang out with though. Like Junpei.
She's also joined the tennis club:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBqBCMpn4ZEFF4 TAY: Did Ceodore's quest, then Porom's, then Palom's.
Then did Palom's optional dungeon sans the ridiculously tough boss.
Went back to Ceodore's quest to see if there was an optional dungeon there too, and accidently erased Palom's save.
Seriously?
I'm sure everybody did something like this at least once in this freaking game.
Restarted Palom's quest and beat that optional boss the right way at level 30. Nice fight.
Then I beat him the wrong way (using the co-op attack) and it was good fun as well.
TAY is surprisingly great so far. It knows the best things about FF4 are the quick pace, constantly changing tools given to the player, and balance.
