The Mitsuo boss fight is partly difficult bwcause he deals heavy allmighty damage, uses ailments and rebuilds his shell. These of course don't affect a no damage run, especially if you are overlevelled and can stop him from rebuilding his shell. It actually makes sense he was the easiest boss fight.
Mitsuo's dificulty spike is more because he has a lot of HP and no weaknesses making the battle a test of endurance. Most people are not level 91 at this point in the game or have access to all -dyne spells.
@@TheBlackSeraph the boss itself dpes not have a lot of hp though. If your damage output is just large enough to not let him rebuild his shell, its's over in like 10-15 turns.
That is way more damage than I expected you to be able to do at this point in the game. Shame you won't be able to use Yoshitsune. Blitzing bosses down with Hassau Tobi never gets old.
Just have mitsuru always on full assault/knock down. if she knows mind charge then change her to support, but once she uses it IMMEDIATELY change to full assault or knock down, or else she might just do marin karin, thus wasting 2 turns because marin karin wastes mind charge. And having mitsuru on act freely might just also make her spam marin karin
After that Dojima rant I just thought of something I heard in another video someplace. "It's been a while since I've seen Nanako so happy!" - Dojima. "Yeah it's been a while since you've seen Nanako." - Whoever that was.
I never thought Mitsuo was too hard, he just takes a stupid-long time if you've only done normal "grinding" rather than being at a challenge-run-level, uh, level.
The part with nanakos kidnapping along with the ending of p3 are the 2 most gut wrenching scenes in the series. Every time i think about them i get shivers
Mitsuo's dungeon was really neat, I really enjoyed the old school game look and the Final Fantasy reference when he was choosing skills on his boss fight, not to mention the music for it really sold it's uniqueness to the rest of the game. Persona 5 did have a callback to Persona 4 (which I missed since I did not play P3 & 4 before 5. During Takemi's confidant, she calls the nurse from P4 for confirmation when prompted to help the little girl. But I wish we got to go to either Inaba or a P3 location, even for a cutscene. Going to Inaba's famous Amagi Inn and meeting Yukiko would have been so much better than the pointless Hawaii trip.
You're motivating me into now luxury hand grinding and getting lvl 99 because of how much damage you're dealing. This fight is quite hard for me and I'm very underleveled
I was so under leveled when i got too Mitsuo on Very Hard that the only strat i could come up with to get through this fight in a reasonable amount of time was to reflect the bosses own ridiculously scaleing (because of my low lvl) Mafula attacks back at him(because assuming i break the wall they will hit him just as hard as they would have hit me). I only had access too Makarakarn on Yu and Naoto so i could only get up 2 reflects per round without using rare consumables but since the boss telegraphs what element he's going to be spamming during his baby phase, it matches the element of the wall he puts up on his first round as a baby, that was enough to work with. I'd put Makarakarn on Naoto and my rezzer/healer on the first round and then have Yu switch to a persona that reflects the element the boss telegraphed. Since the persona that cast Makarakarn on the first round was faster than the boss and the boss won't use any attack on the first round of his pattern i could always have 3 magic reflects ready before the boss could decide to use a Mafula spell. For keeping the 4th party member alive i had the fact that the boss had a 50% chance of choosing an element that 1 of my party members can nullify and on the rounds he didn't pick that i'd use a magic mirror. Had enough of those to use occasionally on 1 party member but not enough to spam them on everyone the whole fight. Mitsuo shredded himself pretty quickly on all those reflects even on the rounds that i couldn't break the element that he decided to put a shield up for at the start of his pattern.
I appreciate you pointing out how a lot of people take Naoto’s dialogue completely out of context and ignore what her character is actually about. It’s a valid headcanon, but that’s all it is, and it really annoys me to see people acting like actually caring about story intention somehow makes you a bigot lol
An arc talking about the very real issue of women being mistreated in the workplace (namely, being treated as inferior to their male co-workers in male-dominated industries, and not getting the respect for their work that they deserve)... hijacked by people misinterpreting it and making it out to be some kind of anti-trans propaganda, making light of and showing that these people do not care about either of these or any other serious social justice problem.
@@espurrseyes42 In my experience it's more like people looked at Naoto's storyline, decided it was actually about being trans, and accused anyone who didn't agree with them of being transphobic. like no, sorry, i just... Actually read. It's not that difficult. As nice as it would be for Naoto to have been trans, that's not what her character is, and insisting otherwise IS actually transphobic, because it turns how someone dresses into being equal to their gender. If I wear a dress or skirt because I think it's cute I'm not suddenly a girl, now am I? The same thing happened to Chihiro with Danglin Grandpas, where the entire point of his character is that it was legitimately easier for him to live pretending to be a girl because of how society behaved towards him, a man who was "weak." Instead it got turned into this huge argument about whether a man can wear a dress and still be a man, or if wearing a dress as someone with a penis makes you a woman. Like come on guys...... Both of these fandoms hate anyone who doesn't conform to gender expectations and it shows lel
@@katzkinder7031 - At least Kanji being bi is a headcanon that still makes sense, even when considering his entire story and viewing it from different angles. As opposed to Naoto being trans, which require a cherry-picked and one-dimensional view. And people on both sides love to forget that these characters are teenagers, who are undergoing a life-altering experience that's causing them to reconsider who they truly are. It makes sense for Kanji to wonder who he's truly attracted to, and Naoto to explore how she needs and wants to present herself. Everything about them is in flux, and it's cruel to assume that they'll remain unchanged even into adulthood. Which is exactly what the assumption of Naoto being trans is, since HRT and GRS are permanent procedures, which aren't to be taken lightly. Personally, I headcanon Kanji as growing up to be furiously bisexual, wandering around the Kinsey Scale as the mood strikes him instead of worrying about society's labels. And Naoto being a physically strong and self-confident woman, taking on masculine traits without worrying about the assumptions that come with them.

NitsuaGamer, I'm intending on buying Persona 4 Golden for the Nintendo Switch next month in January 2023. But I understand that there may be more social links than in the Original Persona 4. How should I utilize my strategy guide for the Golden version of Persona 4?

I remember when I first fought mitsuo and I wanted to do only Izanagi on my first playthrough It took one attempt but it was about an hour of fighting to win
First time I played P4 I got stuck in the bunker cause I didn't know you had to backtrack, like 2 years later, after finishing P5, I go back to P4 but then had the ending and the Naoto spoiled cause a youtube video called *redacted* a scummy POS and needless to say I was not pleased with this dungeon gimmick, basically took out all the power of the rest of the game in one fell swoop
"Filler plot" you mean character development. It's called character development. It just feels like filler to you and me cause we've played the game multiple times already.
It's between the Naoto cutscene and Kanji being supposedly gay. I'm inclined to go with Kanji because the former would require me to expect that game journalists and wokeys actually played far enough into the game. Then again, it's not hard to look up these games' playthroughs.

Yep. Now you can manually have Mitsuru waste her SP on Marin Karin rather than letting her do it herself.
