Started Pokémon Pokopia!

I have only played a little but it's a fun cozy game. I seem to be going slow, as my kid has played about the same amount of time as me, but has unlocked twice the Pokémon. Have been itching for a cozy game to play for a while. Tried Cozy Grove a little while back but while it was fun in the start I didn't enjoy it for long. Hopefully this will fare better.

Also started Dying Light. I am not really a horror fan, but I added this to my wishlist a long time, probably when it was released, so just wanted to try it, even if I end up not liking it. So, got it on sale.

Just cleared the Prologue and the game isn't bad so far, but then again, I haven't played a night mission yet, and all the zombies have been very basic variety.

Played a bit of Tom Clancy's The Division, slowly clearing the side missions and leveling up. Have cleared the level 20 main mission, and I think level cap is 30, so still a bit left.

Haven't played much Xuan Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains or Hard West this week.

What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

There is only one hard requirement if you want to see everything and get a 'true' ending of Persona 5 Royal. Depending on your other choices, some additional scenes may vary. The requirement is a confidant you need to level:

Name/Rank/Deadline

Muraki / rank 9 / before 11/17

To get the most out of royal, you should level these 2 as well:

Name/Rank/Deadline

Kasumi / rank 5 / before 12/22

Akechi / rank 8 / before 11/17

Everything else doesn't matter. You cannot complete all confidants, so don't stress about them. Just do what's interesting to you. Just meet these three characters whenever they are available.

Oh and don't wait until the last day of a deadline to finishes Palaces. Until after a Palace is done you cannot level you party member confidants.

Thanks, noted these down. Will keep them in mind when playing.

@slimerancher@lemmy.world I definitely recommend reading the first spoiler above. Missing that makes you lose a huge chunk of content, it's bad enough that I always say "spoilers be damned" and tell that to any friend of mine that plays P5R.

You cannot complete all confidants

It's definitely possible, I did it my first run through Royal with some time left over. But I agree that this game is better enjoyed if you don't stress trying to get all confidants maxed.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

How long did you take with each palace? I played a bit of Persona 5, until I reached the first palace. Wanted to do it all in one day, but don't think it was possible.

Wanted to do it all in one day, but don’t think it was possible.

It's possible for certain palaces, but others have story-related moments where you're forced to go back to the real world and come back again in another day.

I did all the palaces in P5R in the minimum amount of days (in other words, only went back midway if the story forced me), but it was more of a personal challenge since I was already familiar with the game due to me beating "vanilla" P5 in the past.

It's honestly a major pain in the first couple palaces since you don't have good options for refilling SP, and probably not worth it unless you want to challenge yourself, but became fairly easy to do on later ones.

Also worth mentioning that even if you're aiming to max confidants taking an extra day in early palaces won't really change much, the biggest time "optimizations" come from things in the real world.

I don't recall the exact issue, but I think it was related to low health or SP.

Thanks for the info though, this should help me keep going even if I think I have messed up somethings here and there.

[–] Phelpssan@lemmy.world 1 points 4 minutes ago

SP is always your bottleneck since you have healing spells from the beginning (Morgana comes with Dia).

Which is why it gets easier later on to complete palaces in one go, some confidants will get you access to SP regen accessories and ways to create SP recovery items.

[–] De_Narm@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Playing on merciless, I completed them all in the minimun amount of days possible. You are forced to leave palaces before their respective boss or at certain breakpoints for the story to continue.

I often got to these points by the skin of my teeth, but I love resource management in dungeons and think they are best enjoyed this way. But no shame in leaving more often if that more fun to you.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 15 minutes ago

Yeah, I know about your love for resource management in dungeons, but I think I'll take the no-shame option 😀
