Would you rather be playing MN9?
Id say any get that allows for controller supporter. Since you can connect your joy cons via Bluetooth it should work automatically
Nah. I backed that game and I have no intention to play it.
I was being sarcastic, because MN9 is nothing but talking.
Wait, what? You can connect the Joy-cons to your computer? If so, how exactly?
Joy-cons and Pro Controller are both compatible with PCs....you need a Bluetooth adapter for both....
Inaba will always be in your heart. It was my first personaSo I beat Persona 4 finally, even to the true ending. Man what a ride this has been.
This will be a long one.
Ok, this game is absolutely amazing. It has some problems, but what it does right is so great that it doesn't matter.
Im going to go over the Cons real quick because there aren't many
1. The game has insta-kills. This isn't inherently a problem because reviving is really easy. The problem, is that if the main character gets downed, its an instant game over. You cant use a revive on him, even if the whole party is alive. It really sucks when you spend about half an hour dungeon crawling, only to get insta killed by an enemy with no way of knowing it would happen and no way to know. Even worse, bosses have this. INCLUDING THE FINAL BOSS. Lost to them an hour into the fight.
2. Sometimes the game is super obtuse. For the good endings, you need to do some oddly specific stuff, and for the investigations, sometimes people will only show up at certain ties and there is a lot of awkward stuff.
3.The difficulty scaling is really awkward. The first boss is rough as you are still learning the game, the second one is terrible in every way*, the third is super easy, the 4th is extremely hard, the fifth is easy again, but fair, and then after that is the boses that give you the different endings, so they are all final bosses. First final boss is a bit gimmicky, but ot that bad if you dont get screwed by weakness, with the last 2 bosses being really great other than the insta kill move on the final final boss.
*Ok, so shadow Kanji is the absolute worst. He has 2 mooks with him that have a lot of HP. One NEEDS to be beat to win because he can heal and give an ABSURD amount of stats to Shadow Kanji, and the other will do a lot of damage, and is nearly invulnerable. Kanji himself has some crazy AOE debuffs, and does lot's of damage and a lot of HP. And that is BEFORE healing and buffs are taken into account. It's a downright painful fight, especially for one so early.
Ok, that is it.
Now onto the positives
The music. It's great, and even though you hear this music for so long, it never gets tiring and always fits the area. The final dungeon music is particularly great, and the Void Quest song will be stuck in my head forever.
This game has such a cozy location, and such an amazing cast of characters that it was impossible for me not to fall in love with Inaba. It's pretty small, and the floodplain always felt underused, but what time you do spend in Inaba is great.
The actual random encounter balance is great. I never had a problem where the enemies ere suddenly too powerful, or suddenly too weak, beyond the first floor or two which are meant to ease you into the dungeon, or let the player get back into decent levels if they were previously underlevelled. And the dungeons themselves are all great, and the gimmicks they do have arent too much of a problem. Money is balanced well too. For the first half of the game you really have to balance your money to get the most out of it, and it makes buying what you want is really satisfying.
The story is pretty great too. It has some weird bits that are contrived, but everything is interesting and fun. Stuff like the Midnight channel or who the murderer is is always fun to speculate about, and there are always just enough loose ends to get you to wonder "wait what?" but never too many that nothing makes sense unless you are supposed to.
Most importantly, is the characters. Oh my god the characters. They do so much great stuff with the characters in this game that i could never explain it well enough. In social links, you spend one on ne time with them, and they grow as people and the stories that are told are wonderful and heartwarming/heartwrenching. And for the mandatory parts for when you arent on a case hanging out with the whole group together? Spectacular. I laughed so hard at so many scenes. It was wonderful. It also really helps the pacing break up from "sad depression" to "happy moments yay."
Seriously, the pacing of happy and overwhelmingly depressing is really great somehow.
Im out of stuff actually. I have so much love for this game but can't get it into words. Definitely in my top 10 games of all time. I don't want to leave Inaba. .. but I guess im on to my next game.
Ive never heard "They lost because They won" before in my life and this is the first time
Oh my God, if she ends up beating whoever won between Hector and Ike, the salt will be immense.
Didnt Camilla win a previous voters thing?
Camilla is going up against Ike. And yes, there are already salty Lyn fans who are planning on joining Ike.
She did indeed. In fact, apparently she was the reason why the Bonus Multiplier was made, cause she steamrolled the Fliers Gauntlet.
I'm really enjoying the game so far. Expectedly though, my least favorite part is that there is just way to damn few characters. Especially considering 4 of them are Rabbid versions of the other 4.
After Camilla won the Flier Gauntlet where she steamrolled Hinoka, Cordelia and Minerva, they made a Bonus Multiplier to allow less popular characters to have a chance against more popular characters. So in other words, it was something made to counteract Camilla's high popularity, so it's ironic that this ended up helping her to beat Lyn.
I know Joy Cons work too but I was talking about the Pro sorry...
. 
So Alrest is the setting's name. Wonder if that retroactively applies to XC1 as well?
Yeah, it should work with the Pro Controller as well since it's Bluetooth. I believe there is a red button on the Pro Controller that you press in order for your computer to pick up it's signal
