KOWASHITAI! Welcome to /tmsg/! ---------------- News >Restoration patch is out now, more info here: gbatemp.net/threads/tokyo-mirage-sessions-fe-restoration.429651/ . >Official Vocal Collection CD and Visual Arts Document Collection have been released in Japan. They can be bought from retailers like Amazon JP or CDJapan. >Concert in Japan that happened in June may have a possible DVD/BD release. ----------------
No arguing about censorship or piracy. If you need help setting up loadiine or the restoration patch, go to Homebrew General or the aforementioned GBATemp thread. This thread is purely for discussion of the game.
>tharja I don't know what I expected Are we ever going to start using schoolgirl Mamori as a mascot or did everyone else ignore that genius suggestion in, like, the second thread
Colton Johnson
I second this.

Today we have Yashiro, who will NOT be our last costume based poll as we started with Tsubasa, and so therefore still have Itsuki and Tiki to go. Yahsiro only has EDGE and ridiculous, so pick whichever you prefer.
As for the last poll, with 3 votes, Mamori looks best in her jp only dlc swimsuit. Modern Girl and School Life are tied for second at 2 each, and then everything else except lesson mode (which has 0) has 1. I'll let the thread draw its own conclusions about what the results of this one says about our thread.
what is her swimsuit like what are all of them like actually

Why are you so mean to my waifu ;_;
Dominic Hall
I love and hate Tsubasa, I love how silly she acts, but I also hate it since it's so ridiculous, I love her quotes in battle and her ad-libs are goat, but I hate that she's still pretty sucky in battle.
Everytime she goes doki doki it makes me go doki doki though, so it's all good.
Tyler Bennett
I love and hate you, I love you because you're nice to me but I hate you because you're mean to my defenseless baby

Are these dark cleric lolis from SMT or were made for this game ? I can't find any info about them on google.

But you know The games are ticking time bombs of tension, suspense, and unanswered questions. You fumble the endings, it's like premature ejaculation. 999 was killed by this when its competition was fucking Ghost Trick.

I'm a sucker for Reincarnation, I also really like Fly for some reason.
Andrew Ward
Fly is great.
Luke Bell
This is the best jrpg I played in years.
Holy shit im not even a weeb. Im not into this idol shit. But the turn based combat is some.of the best and most fun I tried in years.
Even made me care more about Persona 5.
And Im surprised at how fluid the animations are in combat. Even when you're not doing anything their idle animations look great.
Jayden Myers
>this faggot Yashiro is literally saying we're weak for relying on friends like some fucking anime rival midboss faggot even though he's our damn co-worker. Lemme guess I'm gonna have to fight him and lose and then we go out and do some gay cutscene shit before I can finally fuck him up. Am I close?
Lincoln Wood
>Even when you're not doing anything their idle animations look great. I love their animations in battle before you select a move
>even though he's our damn co-worker. Have you recruited him yet? What chapter are you on? He's a pretty big douche but he's ok.
David Cox
Fatlus is absolutely great at the presentation for this stuff.
I still think EO has far smarter, more tactical, but not bloated and random and overwrought, combat.
But TMS is pretty dang stupid fun.
Cooper Sullivan
I just beat up the photographer and Minori is making the whole cast go hnnnnngh all at once so I think I've got another chapter before we hit the Yash chapter unless they combine Minori and Yashiro
Gavin Young
You're going to enjoy the beginning of chapter 3, and the end of chapter 4. Just keep playing.
Noah Bell
I think part of the brilliance of TMS combat is it takes Persona 3/4 team attacks and basically makes them every attack.
This isn't simple. There is a lot of craft to make "ARE YOU READY PARTNER?" "FUCK THEIR SHIT UP!" "GOOD ANSWER!" "ARRRAAGHGH" "SMASHSMASHSMASH" feel satisfying in a turn based JRPG. Same with watching prancing cosplaying idols flip and spin in combos.
But it's still the same fist-pumping satisfaction all the same. Like nailing a double barreled shotgun blast perfectly in a shooter that has a good DBS.
I'm curious if they lucked into this mix or if they ran through a lot of prototypes of this mechanic before they could get the feel right.
Luis Hill
Lost Dimension is another RPG that more or less does the exact same chain mechanic, only it's based on proximity rather than weaknesses (LD is more of an SRPG.). Still, those games have guns and knives and somehow it doesn't come close to feeling as cool as TMS. In fact, by the time you get toward the downward slope of the obligatory second playthrough, it becomes incredibly tedious sitting through the bland shoot animations and moving people up so you can churn through 6 factorial attacks to down two losers.
So the point is, Atlus is very good at making this mechanic work.
