Does the DLC items that come bundled with Royal break the game?

[Sminky]

I just opened them, to a slew of items and money that just seem rather OP, is it best to just leave it alone?

Thanks

Yeah, some of the Personas you get out of that box are just busted, and not in a "Oh you get a slight edge with them." sort of way. No, more of a "I press this button and it nukes every enemy on screen a few times over for ♥♥♥♥♥ and giggles."

Well the 100k are nothing compared to the millions you will need. And luckily the DLC Persona are clearly marked with a Gift Package Icon in your selection list, so you don't need to summon them if you don't want to.

The other things you could sell to a vendor I think.

Yeah, I haven't used the "gifted" Personas and don't plan to; some of them look like end-game Personas from P4G. The items and money aren't that much of an issue, I feel, easier to ignore.

[Sminky]

thanks, i'll leave it alone then, at least for my intial playthrough. I have to think it might ruin a lot of peoples games though that don't think to ask / check.

It sure can, though a neat thing with the DLC Personas is that you can also fuse them just like a normal persona, so you can just use them by getting to the level and performing a proper fusion instead of summoning them for free if you wanted.

Don't worry, you'll be sat down for that talk soon. ^^

I still have nightmares from that.

the personas break the game, but you don't have to summon them

the accessories certainly make the game way easier if you choose to use them, especially the camera strap

the money you get doesn't break the game at all. it'll make buying equipment very early on easier but in the long run it isn't enough to mean anything

DLC personas are of many levels (like 10-90) and you can summon them (at any lvl) as soon as you have the compendium- best just to not do this at all. You can still get the DLC personas through fusion.

I found the DLC items were making things too easy while on hard. Regaining SP throughout the dungeon kinda breaks it- even with the legit, non-DLC items you can get early on in the game from Takemi.

The money is just money, it's not huge.


And I'll add that the DLC outfits are great as they change the battle/victory music. They even have all the older persona games' uniforms/music redone in there.

No kidding. ;_;

Do like me, leave the personas alone, dont even buy them (they are golden in color and cost 0, so not hard to find).

[Sacrefice]

just leave them be for your first playthrough. Even the accessoiries are extremely broken espeacially in early game. For example the one that regs mp every turn, because it completly takes away any planing on how to fight to conserve mp because it just lets you spam magic without any consequences

Even low lvl dlc personas has overpowered skills like Neo Cadenza.

That is also true and sadly not much can be done about it outside of forcing yourself not to use it or deleting the move outright when you can
