In case, anyone is curious. P3FES Elizabeth can be beaten with Fusion Spells+Mind Charge only. Since Mind Charge is used, the only healing item allowed is Soma, and it can only used before the Nebiros turn. The use of High Counter to skip Diarahan is also forbidden. th-cam.com/video/R1AkE6nN680/w-d-xo.html
To avoid my teammates from getting tired, I would wait till the night before the fullmoon where you'd be fighting the next Arcana boss to grind for levels and make my way up the tower ((unless I was looking for someone who was lost in Tartarus)) If it's the night before an Arcana they will never get tired.
I'm surprised Thunder Call and Frolic aren't on there. Thunder Call is the strongest non-Armageddon spell and Frolic is 18SP Mediarahan that you can get from level 20. There's also Infinity which costs a lot of SP but is really strong for damage mitigation.
I was actually hoping to see a little Thunder Call (Thor+Take-Mikazuchi) in the late game; did you somehow forget? It's more or less Maziodyne with Thunder Reign's shock chance. In particular, it would've been useful on Harabah guardians #2-4 (easy Stasis Giants fight, lel; serves them right) if you had the levels, as well as the first three Adamah guardians. And possibly even rendering the Reaper beatable, allowing access to Monad to hasten the Armageddon grind...
Thunder Call kinda did flew over my head since I was all focused on using Jack Bros. on everything. Weird to say since it was useful during that part in my Makoto-only run lol
As gameplay they might be bad but since it thematically fits I love it the most. Personally I wish controlling party members was locked behind social links, either the story (Fool) link or their respective personal ones
This video is great ! Your voice is very nice too :o it's a pleasure to listen and to understand (im a baguette speaker lmao) Thank you for this concept ! +1 sub
Advice, PLEASE use Arcade to minmax a Persona. I did it with Orpheus. The main reason being that it allows you to throw massive stat boosts on everything else. It even allowed me to have Messiah with max stats. Speaking of which, you should fuse Messiah at the end because Magic Skill Up
Do you want most fusions spells to be useless in persona 2? Then meet persona 3, cause most fusion spells are garbage and the op fusion spell is late game and the persona helel is not only a ultimate persona but also exclusive in the rereleases of persona 3 and not the og one
Fusion spells were useless? They were vital in my strats,cadenza was a great early game heal, king and I were great as were jack bros,ailment fusion spells were useful as guardians don't null all ailments
@@sociallyawkard5675 Cadenza was also quite nice late/post game when you could afford an empty slot or two. Even more so if you painstakingly chain fusion skills down to Orpheus/Apsarus to make one of them usable. If you do both you either aren't human or play the game way too much
@Velvet Butterfly Funny thing is, I did make a minmaxed Orpheus: Agidyne God's Hand Pralaya Fire Boost Fire Amp High Counter Absorb Elec Repel Dark While I did do it on Portable, it was still pain
I look forward to Persona 3 Reload coming out very soon and complementary to a Fusion Spell only run, maybe you can do a similar run in Reload where you beat the game using only Theurgy attacks and it looks like MC's theurgy attacks are going to be that version's fusion spells. Cheers!
I agree with Marcos that most fusion spells suck but cadenza is a godsend early game as no personas that the protagonist can fuse till like lv15 have media and yukari doesn’t learn media until like lv21 which means cadenza is essentially your only multitarget heal until at least half way through the second block
Much as i prefer P3P for controlling party members, Femc storyline etc; I -do- prefer the UI and typeface/effects/camera angles in Tartarus (in P3/FES).
Well I can finally watch Persona 3 challenge runs fully now that I've beaten this game! And damn, fusion spells can be so useful and so useless at the same time. I'm glad they removed them for Persona 4 and 5.
Technically the rare follow up attacks in P4G (like Yukiko and Chie's Twin Dragons) and Showtime attacks in P5R can be considered fusion spells but thats a stretch
You know, as much as noncontrollable party members never bothered me that much, I just don't get the logic behind it. Nocturne came out before P3, as did DDS, all three of which had controllable party members, so it wasn't like this was their first time making a Megaten for PS2 hardware and they were still trying things out. It's just such a weird and seemingly pointless decision.
Other than the actual combat system and how you can't control your teammates in FES which was fixed in P3P (+ even more gameplay enhancements), Persona 3 doesn't have any terrible gameplay unless you really don't like how the social links work (in a realistic way) with how they might regress back. Unless that was a joke/sarcasm, it really doesn't make any sense.
Cadenza is pronounced as Sa-den-za not Ka-Den-Za. How do I know this? You can actually use Cadenza with Orpheus and Orpheus Picaro (both Male and Female but the Female Orpheus’ is called Neo Cadenza) in Persona 5/P5R and when Joker uses it, he says exactly how it’s pronounced: “Sa-Den-Za.”

The amount of inaccuracies in the first 20 seconds is baffling
I think my least favourite part of persona 3's higher difficulties is just how expensive the compendium is.
now THIS is a creative challenge that i've got to see
That “why you in the mood” song meme was freaking hilarious. Earned a sub homie. Especially afterwards. I felt bad lol.
What you said in the minute 21:30 is no problem we all know that mitsuru wasn't going to do anything but Marin Karin as she thinks she is destined to.
