Persona: Fallen Paradise (Discussion Thread)

[Aura Of Twilight]

Well, I finally got my post up. XD

 

[storymasterb]

Boss battle, go!

Sir Ironside, the Red Knight
Arcana: Chariot
Weapon: Sword-claws
Primary Element: Fire/Physical
Slash: -
Strike: -
Pierce: Strong
Fire: Absorbs
Ice: Weak
Lightning: -
Wind: -
Light: -
Dark: -

Skills:
Maragi
Cleave
Agidyne
Rampage

Notes on Ironside: Its armor is basically very, very hot, so if you touch it, you're probably going to be burned. He's basically a furnace in plate armor. Like, insides are literally fire. Blades are hot too. Basically, any physical contact is probably going to get you burned. He does have weak spots, like his joints and eyes, and basically if you find a way to break his armor then he loses his structural integrity and just falls apart.

Also the other groups will be facing their own bosses too. I'll have profiles up for them tomorrow, but they'll basically be named after and based on the other knights Sir Gareth faced (Perarde the Black, Pertolope the Green, Perymones the Puce and Persaunte the Indigo). Each will be physical based with an element attached. Perarde is going to be Dark and Pertolope probably Wind, I'm not too sure on Perymones and Persaunte, but probably Ice and Light.

 

[Liltwick]

So will group three be going against Pertolope?

[Monster Guy]

And Mon, I'm not quite sure why you'd want to see Aika again. X)

Mon didn't say that. xD

Yea but Alyssa's going to be ignoring his advances most of the time. I mean, she wants to be single for reasons I won't disclose on the thread, and I want her to be single until we are able to get pass this season at least...

I do have to agree with everyone Diego's turning into the Harem Seeker, I mean, he had basicly random love swings in the course of two days. Leo's not seeking attention, he just natural has a harem for his good looks. That and I would like to see more of Aika, so Raiden hurry up and post please!

 

[Aura Of Twilight]

Um...I'm out of the loop here. Sorry to sound like a noob here, but how does that skill chart work excatly?

 

[Pir8Heart]

x.x ... Ah well, same sentiments. XD

 

[SoulMuse]

I too am with the above.

 

[Pir8Heart]

Um...I'm out of the loop here. Sorry to sound like a noob here, but how does that skill chart work excatly?

It's pretty easy to fill out;

III. Krystal Storm | Empress Arcana
Persona: Gabriel
Weapon: (weapon)
Primary Element: 1/2 primary elements
Slash: -
Strike: -
Pierce: -
Fire: Weak
Ice: -
Lightning: -
Wind: -

Dark: -

(Choose some of those elements for her to be resistant to, weak to, absorb, null etc. Check the others for pointers about balance.)

Skills:
Skill 1 (description)
Skill 2 (description)
Skill 3 (description)

Next:
Skill A (description)
Skill B (description)
Skill C (description)

Then there's the stuff about canon and non-canon skills... there should be a MegaTen wiki somewhere...

Ah. Well that will be my project for a two hour car ride tomorrow then.

Ah. I think I get it now mostly. I'll look on the wiki for everything. Thanks.

 

[Monster Guy]

Btw, what is the difference between slash strike and pierce?

 

[Pir8Heart]

Slash refers to... things that slash. Generally, swords and whatnot. Then strike would be stuff like clubs, and pierce would be stuff like rapiers. They all fall under physical, apparently.

Ah. I think I get it now mostly. I'll look on the wiki for everything. Thanks.

Oh, ignore the Fire weakness, I sorta' forgot to delete that. ^_^;

 

[Aura Of Twilight]

Um. Quick question. XD

Do the primary elements we get depend on our persona and tarot card? For instance, if I were to give Krystal Light/Wind, would that be acceptable?

 

[Pir8Heart]

That would depend on your Persona's background, usually. Take Leo as an example; Phoenix is commonly associated with Fire and Light, so such is appropriate. Aika could also be a good example; Arianrhod is commonly associated with the moon (Dark), and is said to be able to transform into an owl (Wind).

 

[Aura Of Twilight]

Ah...Then that means...*looks back at SU* I think I had been implying that Gabriel has wind magic, which according to the wiki should actually be ice. Should I go back and fix it, or is it okay to bend the rules a little?

EDIT: Eh, I went back and fixed it. That'll make things easier.

I gave Phoenix Light and Healing skills along with Fire. The canon Phoenix has Fire, Wnd, and Physical. There's nothing wrong with making alterations to the canon Persona. After all, Gabriel is a woman in this game. xD
