Is it true this game is too easy?

[Rampage]

How is the difficulty compared to P4G?

[King of Games]

All the persona games are easy tbh. I guess its about the same as p4 in difficulty.

Medium, if you are a nerd who plays lot of turn based games is extremely easy.

Put the game on the highest difficulty. Early mobs will damn near one-shot you.

so its either too easy or being one shot? very bad design if there isnt something in between

Nope. The game has five difficulty settings. I'm playing on HARD, the balancing feels fine.

But if you're a glutton for punishment, you do have the option to play on MERCILESS.

At some point I do plan to do a MERCILESS run using Arsene only with the MC. But that's only because I hate myself.

I know how to play JRPGs but i work 40 hours, so i set the difficulty to easy for the first couple of hours. I want to fast forward useless filler. I mean its a 100 hour game.

It is incredibly easy, and the game showers you with all the game-breaking DLC. You can summon literal Jesus for no cost and trivialise the entire game in the first dungeon. The original Persona with no DLC had some challenge, this has 0 unfortunately.

Also Merciless works both ways so your weakness gets hit for 3 times damage, but so does theirs so you can just wipe entire mobs in one go.

Played the PS version of the game. It is not that hard... especially if you use the dlc persona. i t hink hard is the best difficulty. merciless is... well you and the enemy do 3x times weakness damage so on some points, its easier then hard. i think you can wait for modders to mod a custom difficulty like on p4g.

hmm here is hoping that Persona 6 will finally adress this issue, still getting 5 but would have loved it to be a bit more challenging

im finding it pretty alright difficulty wise. People will tell you its easy because they are using the stupid dlc. Dont use that and stick to vanilla personas and equipment and the games got a great difficulty curve.

It’s about as difficult as you want it to be.

Crank it up to the highest difficulty and then if you play casually you’ll have a rough time, if you play optimally you’ll have an easier time and get through okay, and if you play horribly you’ll be miserable.

I was taken aback by the dlc personas in the registry, you can just start the beggining of the game with a level 90 one? Guess it takes to much hp and sp to use that much but still. Just gonna not use them I guess.

Litterally my only complaint with this port so far.

[IICEE]

Hard are alright if you not cheese it with money confuse exploit or some stuff like that

Merciless can be too easy after you get most element to attack since you also did x3 weakness&technical dmg to enemy some boss fight can go really fast with this x3 dmg
