yo, I picked up this game on Wii U for fifteen bucks and I want to know how to BREAK IT. Like, absolutely annihilate it. I want to go into hard mode, fight god, and hardly break a sweat: the problem? I have never played persona before. Any advice for a newbie who loves chaos?

Hello there! I haven’t actually posted on this blog for… god knows how long, but thank you for reminding me it existed! You wanna know how to break the game? This is where to start.

Doing this OOC because my roleplaying skills are pretty rusty, so…

Your best friends are going to be Touma, Ellie, and Mamori. Touma’s your best buffer/debuffer, Mamori’s your tanky healer, and Ellie is by FAR your best attacker.

Train your units pretty evenly! You don’t want to need Tsubasa in the endgame and then get your shit rocked because she’s underleveled.

The moment you see the skill “Open Audition” come up, grind stage rank and performa until you can get it on everyone that it’s possible to get on at the moment. It is by far the most important skill in the game.

If you want to grind Stage Rank, go to Daitama, find an enemy, and spam buffs/debuffs until you’re out of EP and then rush them down.

Also, definitely do all the side quests and side stories! They help you massively.

If Maiko asks to talk to you, run over there as fast as humanly possible. Especially if she starts talking about two of your party members. Just trust me.

Find the Urahara Arena as soon as Harajuku opens. You need access to Nieg. Trade him every bit of Detritus you can. I can’t say why without spoilers, just do it.

Also, the incenses that Nieg gives you are extremely useful if you want to overload characters’ stats. I usually just get about 20 million Skill incenses and put them on Ellie. She uses them best, but skill may (we’re still not sure not enough people are nerds about this game) increase rates of certain things activating.

Strike a Pose and Gaia’s Whisper are two extremely good skills. Strike a Pose gives everyone a second turn and Gaia’s Whisper is a powerful Omni buff. Use them liberally against bosses.

Be EXTREMELY nice to Tsubasa. EXTREMELY. Follow a guide if you want. A special attack of Tsubasa’s is only unlocked if you have high enough affinity with her by the end of her third side story. Look up “Falling Star Tokyo Mirage Sessions” if you want to be sure not to miss it. There’s no way to check affinity and the game does not tell you about this.

Make sure you’re always picking the attack that leads to the longest session, even if it’ll do lower raw damage. Longer sessions are always the most preferable.

Itsuki: Hm, CYL midterm results… there I am! 13th place on the Men’s side!

Itsuki: Oh, and Tsubasa’s 18th on the women’s side!

Itsuki:

Itsuki, dropping his phone:

Touma: What’s up, sparky?

Itsuki: WHAT THE FUCK YOU’RE 20TH ON THE MEN’S SIDE-

Touma: WHAT?!

[ask-the-mirage-lord]

When are they gonna put them into the game?

Itsuki: I don’t know! Tiki, Momko, Touma, and Yashiro are literally the top four voted units that aren’t in yet at the moment!

[ask-the-mirage-lord]

They might make it in via the next dancing banne. Fingers crossed for Yashiro and Touma getting into FEH.

Itsuki: And then the dancing banner never happened.

Itsuki, sighing:

[ask-the-mirage-lord]

So I’ve been summoning on the Remix banner. All five of those merges are from the Remix. My luck has been INSANE. She’s ready to win this VG.

[ask-the-mirage-lord]

Ellie: I’m on the Voting Gauntlet!

Kiria: Avenge me, Ellie! You’ve got this!

Tsubasa: Yeah!!

[ask-the-mirage-lord]

Itsuki: So, with the introduction of the Ashen Wolves, that certainly changes a few things.

Itsuki: Namely, the top four units in CYL5 that aren’t in FEH yet are now our Tiki, Ms. Maiko, Touma, and Yashiro.

Itsuki: You no longer have any excuses, IntSys.

[ask-the-mirage-lord]

Itsuki and Chrom today’s my birthday.

Itsuki: It is? Happy birthday!

Chrom: Yes, happy birthday!

[ask-the-mirage-lord]

I got my fingers crossed for Touma and Yashiro to be featured in the new FEH banner.

Itsuki: Thanks. This is definitely really late, but I think that now that we’re past the Braves now we have a real chance of them getting in.

Itsuki: Next hope’s PA, let’s pray that the actual musicians get alts there.

[ask-the-mirage-lord]

I'm not sure if this has been asked yet! Itsuki have you visited Ylisse where Chrom is from? If so, how do you like it or....does well Chrom tell you stories about them such as Emmeryn, Robin, etc?

Itsuki: Bloom Palace and Askr magic means that I have actually been there. It’s an amazing place.

Itsuki: And yes, I’ve heard all the stories. Emmeryn trading her life for peace, Robin being Grima’s vessel…

Itsuki: And of course my sister coming back from the future. And I’ve traded Robin and Lucina stories of my own from back home.

[ask-the-mirage-lord]

Itsuki and Chrom how’s it going today?

Itsuki: It’s going great. I figured out that Actor Trio just had filming that I forgot about, so there was no cause for alarm.

Chrom: And it’s going fine for me too!

[ask-the-mirage-lord]

Itsuki: Nothing in the inbox.

Itsuki: Wonder what Ellie’s up to…

Itsuki: Wait.

Itsuki: Oh no.

Itsuki: I haven’t seen Touma or Yashiro all day either.

Itsuki: *starts running*

[ask-the-mirage-lord]

When you were all in Askr, including you two Touma and Yahiro, after getting over her shyness what did you think to Olivia? Did she help you all out with your dancing?

Tsubasa: Uhhhh…

*flashback*

Tsubasa, after walking in on Olivia dancing: AAAAAAAAAAAA

Olivia: AAAAAAAAAAAA

Tsubasa: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Olivia: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

*the two proceeded to get stuck in a loop until the rest of Fortuna and the Shepards separated them*

[ask-the-mirage-lord]

Touma: Hey, guys! We’re bac-

Yashiro: *covers Touma’s eyes*

Touma: Wh-

*the lights go out*

Yashiro: *uncovers Touma’s eyes*

Yashiro: Happy birthday, flash bastard.

*the entire office is lit by candles, and the rest of Fortuna is there, surrounding a cake*

Everyone: Happy birthday!

Touma: Aw, you guys didn’t have to do all this!

Itsuki: Yes. We did. Now come on, make a wish!

[ask-the-mirage-lord]

Oh I can’t forget about Cain and Navarre. I probably won’t be able to hug you guys but here’s two air hugs coming your way. Gives Navarre and Cain two air hugs.

Navarre: Hugs are useless.

Cain: I appreciate the thought!

[ask-the-mirage-lord]

Navarre please make sure that Yashiro gets plenty of food so that he doesn’t collapse from hunger again. (I just love Yashiro’s first side quest. Itsuki is so adorkable when it comes to describing food.)

Navarre: Don’t worry, I personally make sure he eats.

Itsuki: If he doesn’t we just physically drag him to the cafe.

[ask-the-mirage-lord]

Itsuki how’s Touma and Yashiro doing?

Itsuki: They’re fine. Since Touma’s birthday is tomorrow we’re scheduling a surprise party.
