Really need a "return to title menu" mid-battle option

[Outpost Omega 5]

As much as I love the persona series and am coming to love this game, there is one quality of life feature that all of these games are in MASSIVE need of: the ability to return to the title menu, or just being able to access the load menu from just about anywhere.

Once you've realized you made a total hash of a fight and have given up on it, it's pain the ass going through several rounds of "failure to retreat" or just waiting to get killed of before you can reload your last save. And the built in battle restart doesn't cut it if you need access to the main menu so you can adjust your archetypes and inherited skills. Alt+F4'ing and restarting the program also takes it's fair share of time.

This failure of game design is really aggravating. I'm guessing it's responsible for at least 1 in 3 rage quits as opposed to just a tempered restart.

Yeah I would love soft reload.
I think SRW has this feature.

What's "SRW"?

Super Robot Wars.

It has a soft reset feature where you can quickly go back to the menu.

Just a friendly suggestion; don't invoke acronyms or abbreviation for games or anything else that have no clear connection to the game of the forum your posting in.

I just checked and Super Robot Wars' steam page does not indicate a shared publisher or developer and I can't fathom how the basic plot of that game connects in anyway shape or form to this one. How is anybody suppose to know what that acronym means so far from it's source context?

[REBirthTheEdge]

I just explain to you.
The games have nothing to do with each other, I just want a input combination that does soft reset like in SRW.

Perhaps there can be mod.

Weeell. I know a solution, but only if you see a cheat as a mod. They are the same, in a way. Cheat Engine can speed up the game speed. I use hotkeys for it and speed the game up. When i want to end it quickly. I play the combat in double speed anyway.

this we need it! but it might be added to the ultimate version though not this version

You can restart the fight, if you made a mistake during that fight. But yeah if you got ambushed and want to reload to before the fight, it can be a bit painful.

It's badly needed since we can't change archetypes during battle. There's nothing worse than going blindly into a boss fight with the wrong archetypes. The restart the fight option is useless.

i am on hard. and if my party is not suited for the opponent i face i just manually close to game. its often faster than making my party die. restarting the fight will not help if your party dont have the right skills and class for the fight on hard.

I missuse the restart mechanic to steal an item. If it does not work in the first round, i reset.

I agree, a soft reset back to the title screen would be a welcome feature. Loving the game!

[Uncle_Heavy]

Completely agree. What kind of very bad design is this? You have to wipe to load a game? What, are we back in 1986 and ZX Spectrum era??

[Outpost Omega 5]

Careful, you're dating yourself. I have no idea what a "ZX Spectrum" is and you clearly do.

An awesome tactics RPG where you pilot mecha from across anime and gaming with really snazzy animations. If you're ever interested, there's SRW 30 on Steam *now*.

I JUST made a topic about this not moments ago, I will promptly delete it.
