your bud tevin sent me

I loved watching this video! Man it's such a good game and it gets so little credit.. personally I think it's even better than persona!

Noice

Does this work when you go the the path of da'at?

Below are screenshots of my team's equipment and tactics Team 1: imgur.com/a/r2TT8Zw Team 2: imgur.com/a/CvIIdjF (For Albion) You will probably need to play around with your Blind Bot's tactics for RNG manip. Back Row you can't change otherwise the strat doesn't work at all. For Team 2: You can toggle Meteor Slash for RNG Manip if needed.

Great video, and I've been seeing interesting speedruns and challenge runs cropping up on TH-cam lately, but yours is the best breakdown of the current speedrunning meta. Looking forward to seeing what other interesting speed run strats will crop up in the future, especially where 100% True Zenoiran is concerned.

What a neat video ! I was a bit saddened that the state of the internet and the difficulty of stating an opinion had you feel the need to set up with so much caution. For future content, I'd be delighted to see you use this timeslot to set up why you like something entirely unapologet... ugh, such a hard word, you catch my drift. Your personnal story about why this or that point make you vibe, an earlier time you encountered that mechanic and it changed the way you looked at games, etc... You don't need to prove something IS fantastic, there's indeed always someone to disagree. Just prove it's fantastic to you in a relatable way, and attract like-minded engagement ! So much more joy for the creator and the consumer !

Thanks for this video, super interesting how fast you can end the game with the well planned ways to beat high level missions early.

Exact build for the two teams? I'd like to try this for myself

I like the music and your trinity rain setup is sick. ...I really hope dlc is coming!

Atleast there's an AI Rework mod.

It would be kinda neat if they improved their decision making as they leveled.

The idiocy of the AI really shines even on a regular playthrough if you ever use Orgia Mode. I did once and Aigis insisted on using Akasha Arts over and over again on enemies that block strike attacks.

The AI really gets worse and worse in each game. I did an act freely only run of P5R and it was bad, there are so many moves that they just will never use. They despise support moves even if you actively set them to use them, I almost wonder why it is even a choice when they won’t use them regardless.

I don't think full assault is for targeting weaknesses, but to kill the enemy with the lowest HP. In FES there was a "Target weakness" command, which I'm not sure if it's in Reload or not... but I think you might have had more luck if you had the team on "act freely." It's just a thought though, not really me trying to be like, "You messed up because..." but more like thinking hypothetically what if you did it another way.

Getting to use direct input made me so happy when i picked up reload.

U should post more clips of ur opheus only run

The worst part is they won’t baton pass So if someone else can weaken the enemy the ai won’t pass to them

Much like with Donald (and goofy) in kh1 (and 2), i played persona 3 when i was still a dumb kid/teen, so i have a feeling some of My complaints about Bad AI were just me not knowing how Best to optimize the orders and expectations of the characters i couldn't directly control. As the years and memes have passed, I've discovered this was the case for a Larger number of us than we may have thought.

Until they add 'aim for weakness' order, I will always do direct command.

except they dont use shift and arent very smart

Say what you want, he's still the only guy who will attack a boss that resists his weapon when set to act freely because I didn't use tactics unti Nyx in FES. Brought him, Ken and Akihiko to fight that damn table resisiting physical and immune to electric and the latter two just sat there passing turns and healing themselves while junpei does all the damage and I'm actually doing the healing with Titania.

Who tf plays with AI party 💀

Wonder why the ui changed from keyboard to playstation mid fight. A bit curious why you would swap between the two.

I think someone released a mod to make them smarter?

This hurts to watch

Me for the fifteen time in Tartarus during an AI Only Run: “Junpei. Please. You know it’s weak to Fire. It’s right there. We’ve been through this. You saw me use Agi in the one right next to it! Just spend the three SP, please!!!” Junpei: “Oh, I hear ya, Leader! So, I use Bash and - oh, I missed.”

"Not Marin Karin!"

And this is why I don’t use Party AI

damn thats bullshit as always

At least they Actually know your full inventory of personas and Actually switch to you when they know you can hit a weakness unlike in persona 5 where if my equipped persona couldn't hit a weakness they Just attacked again

You know how there’s a single button you can press and it gives you a recommended move ? I wonder if the AI party members run on that same recommended system. Because this game can recommend me a lot of stupid 💩. I think my persona builds might confuse the computer

Ya know, I thought Junpei was cooking for a second with that crit

the hand movement oddly fits the music

I'm guessing the reason for this is that the AI is trying to prioritize filling the theurgy gauge, since Junpei's gauge fills quicker through crits. Knowing that, it makes this even worse because you haven't unlocked theurgy's yet at this point, so he's trying to land crits for basically NO reason.

Is "target weaknesses" not a command anymore

I have to admit… I did not know you could even do that. 😂 I knew the original game and P3P had it where the party members attacked automatically through their AI (I think P3P could let you turn that off? I only played a bit of it before I stopped when I found out P3R was being made. I only got to after the tutorial of Tartarus in it). I figured they took it out altogether because of the fanbase’s hatred for it!

If they were smart after Junpei downed an enemy he would have baton passed to akihiko to then mazio and down another enemy then akihiko passes it to yukari at the very least. IDK the setups in Reload but setting up buffs and debuffs if enemies were not going down fast enough would have made more sense than what they did. No matter the persona game i don't think the AI will ever be smart enough to keep up with the player and its more frustrating than helpful having to put up with a pitiful tactics menu with no info on what each command has their AI do and them having hidden preferences as well as not focusing on what the party needs regardless of game. Atlus introducing direct command i think was the right call nowadays cause AI in games are downright stupid regardless of game especially when there is a defective tactics menu.

Music name?

I’ll tell you, this game was the first one that had me full control of the party for the whole game. While in P5 and most of Persona 4, the party was in the act freely mode.

This got so many views so quickly that I am humbled. So here's context for the video: This is part of my Orpheus-only Run on Merciless Mode. There's added rules to this to make this more interesting, as I've done Starter Persona only runs in past games too. One of these rules is Direct Commands are banned. I've ran with the AI in past games too, as I find the handicap pretty fun. So the A.I. has always been competent in past games. The stuff the A.I does in P3R though is beyond baffling. It's worse than P5 by a mile. This clip is just one of many examples I've ran into during my run, and at this point I just see it as comedy. Hopefully that clears up so confusion I saw in the comments.

So am I the only one who’s Junpei is a dodging and Crit master? Like for the first 30 floors of Tarturus he was carrying me lmfao 🤣, since then it’s been harder but I mean he’s been really clutch so far. I know that’ll end tho like in Pokémon my boy is gonna lose the gamble and die a whole lot I can feel it

Ace Defective at it again

In original, if you want to exploit weakness, use knock down instead of full assault.

I haven't played this remake, but in my experience of playing Fes, and Portable (In this case, no direct command and only use Act Freely), all the party member always acted very logical and made a good decision for each of their action, and I never had any frustrating experience of witnessing the ai made dumb decisions (In fact, I love letting the ai do their work than the direct command). Maybe after Persona 3, the devs didn't really improve the ai on making their decision. The proof was when I played Persona 4 and 5 and set all the companion to "Act Freely" and they acted super dumb, where it almost killed me a few times.

I've died too many times because of this bullshit

Junpei, I respect your energy, but save it for later man, trust me

Bro thinks he can farm his theurgy this early

Playing merciless my first run with no control of allies. Im a fucking insane.

to be fair, the party ai became a lesser important feature once they received complaints about characters using unfavourable skills especially in fights where you can finish enemies off in a single cycle or require a heal and they either use a buff or go for a status effect skill and fail.
