Comment on Anon plays Persona 5
celsiustimeline@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months agoLike most JRPGs, the Persona and mainline SMT series have a battle system that resembles a complex game of rock/paper/scissors. You’re either strong, weak, or neutral against a foe depending on what Persona/Demon you have out. You generally don’t have to grind for levels ever in JRPGs outside of the battles you invariably encounter on your way to objective x.

I have to object - to this day I’ve played a few turn based jRPGs - FF X, EBF 5, aforementioned P4G, and Trails in the Sky 1 come to my mind, maybe there was one or two more - and some bosses and areas pose a level gap too wide to ignore with just strategy and consumables

Watch a speedrun. They avoid almost all encounters and still nuke bosses in a few turns.
