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. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGKknHhso7NpbpI

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.

[@steam-powereddolphin5449]

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...

[@MagicMarcos]

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

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

[@sociallyawkard5675]

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

[@nightsnkjudgement3551]

To be fair in the og persona 3 the fusion spell is between satan and lucifer (same model as helel)

[@velvetbutterfly]

@@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

[@kichiroumitsurugi4363]

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

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.

[@Utka_Ivanov]

In one of interview developers said that AI party menbers was made to give characters more personality

[@thegamerfe8751]

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.
