Who is your party consisted of in The Answer and Journey? - Page 2

James Fiend · 12-15-2008, 07:45 AM

I tend to use Koromaru and Ken less often because I hate strategizing around mudo and hama stuff. Like Eric, though, I find that on Hard mode you don't really have a choice but to use everyone unless you are intentionally handicapping yourself and enjoy resetting.

I used Ken a fair amount, because he has a decently large enough SP count to be a healer. I basically never used Koromaru though...

For The Journey, I used everyone as evenly as I could (except Koromaru).
For The Answer, I mainly used Metis, Junpei, and Akihiko (so glad I went with Metis!). But I did switch other characters in once in a while if I needed a specific resistance. I had sure to have the other characters decently leveled too, in case I needed them. I never used Koromaru in the Answer either though.

In P3, I used everyone evenly, since different shadows call for different party combinations. I'm still working on FES, and want to start playing P4 asap, but I want to experience both endings this time, and play through The Answer.

In any case, like last time, I think I'll use everyone until I defeat the last floor boss, then let the guys slip off, and take the girls to the end. They're a well balanced party, and all of them except Mitsuru had samarecarm and mediarahan, which was really helpful last time, so I think I'll use them again.

As for The Answer, I haven't decided yet. But I do think I'll split them into 3 teams for lvling purposes(the girls, the guys, and Aigis and Koromaru can go off on their own). Then again, I haven't played The Answer yet, so if I have to choose a team, I think I'll go for the girls again. Otherwise, I'll use everyone.

Crabman · 12-16-2008, 04:54 AM

For The Journey, I pretty much used everyone (except Koromaru...sorry

), but my main team was Yukari, Mitsuru and Akihiko. They were level 90ish, my other team was around 80. For The Answer, I was trying to do the same thing...but now I just do Yukari, Mitsuru and Metis, sometimes swapping out for Akihiko. I dunno, I feel they work out alright. Plus Metis just hugely strong! I have Surt/Thor/that chicken thing that knows wind skills/....and King Frost (XD) to help me out with elementals.

I really need to get a better Ice Persona >_>

Megedo Incubus · 12-20-2008, 10:18 AM

The Journey: Junpei (he's my fave.), Mitsuru, and Aegis.
The Answer: Junpei, Akihiko, and Metis.

Radiant-Cadenza · 12-20-2008, 03:27 PM

In the journey, I mostly used everyone evenly, but I completely ignored Koromaru. Nothing against him, but he just never really fit in.

In the answer, it was much more even. I even found room for Koromaru. The exception was Metis, who *never* left my party. No weaknesses is just way to handy on permanent hard mode. Plus she's overall one of the more useful/versatile party members in my opinion.

Las Lobos · 12-20-2008, 07:27 PM

The Journey: Yukari, Mitsuru and Akihiko and Shinji when he was...ya know

The Answer: Metis, Akihiko and Koromaru

ArmedDragoon · 12-20-2008, 10:11 PM

Journey: My final party consisted of MC and the girls. And I made all of them wear their swimsuits. It was like an episode of Baywatch, if Baywatch took place in a tower infested with shadow creatures.

Answer: Haven't finished it yet. Darn it.

mAn-kAt · 12-23-2008, 06:52 AM

The Journey: For the most part, I used the Main Character, Mitsuru, Yukari, and Akihiko. Though, I never got to the end of the game (I got as far a January, then I just lost interest really quickly due to that I already knew what happened because my friend was playing The Answer when I was at his house and I got a huge ending spoiler for the Journey that I didn't want to know).

The Answer: Lost interest to even start (For the most part it looked like a straight dungeon crawler. I am not that big of a fan for Straight Dungeon Crawlers, so I tried to stay away from it.)

Yeah same. It wasn't as enjoyable playing as Aigis, even though I liked her. It wasn't nearly as interesting as The Journey. I only played about an hour of it but I was happy enough to complete the main story.

Blue Mage · 12-28-2008, 06:59 AM

The Journey: Mitsuru, Aigis and Koromaru

BoG · 01-05-2009, 08:40 PM

Yukari, Mitsuru, and Akihiko in the Journey. I haven't played the Answer yet, too busy.

Emilio Morales · 01-06-2009, 11:39 AM

The Journey: Akihiko, Mitsuru/Aegis and Junpei

The Answer: Metis, Akihiko and Yukari

MrBubbles · 01-19-2009, 05:16 PM

Hm, that's interesting. I know I kicked Yukari ASAP, but I'm drawing a blank.

For the Journey:

MC
Mitsuru
Aigis
Junpei for 90% of the game till the end when he was switched for Akihiko.
Akihiko for 10% of the game.

The Answer:

Aigis
Mitsuru
SISTE-...I mean Metis.
Akihiko

Overall it's nearly the same, Metis picks up the slack for the team.

Pibbman · 01-20-2009, 02:56 AM

Huh...

Guess I'm the only hardcore one here.

Journey - MC
Answer - MC

I kid, I always go by elements.

Gen Eric Gui · 01-20-2009, 03:21 AM

Reading though here, it baffles me that so many people -never- used Koromaru. He's arguably the strongest ally in the game! He's your best Fire-user, he's got Mudo Boost so he can OHKO pretty much anything that doesn't directly resist Death, and he's got the largest number of resistances of any character outside the MC(He resists Fire AND Dark, whereas every other character just gets one resist).

Really, he's the best character to bring to the final battle at least, especially if you can manage to grab a Radiant Halo from Melchezidek.

Medicatedsoap · 01-28-2009, 06:30 PM

WOO JUST BEAT THE GAME. Hey, I just got it for Christmas, so I'm a bit late to this all.

My preferred party was Yukari, Mitsuru, and Akihiko. Though I often used Ken and Koromaru. I gave up using Junpei after level 18/19 or so, and I stopped using Aigis at level 40ish. It became way too much time to cycle through everyone and level them up, and I found that Aigis and Junpei were easy to make up for with the MC.

DecayOfSouls · 01-31-2009, 08:42 AM

In the Journey I used Junpei, Yukari, and Akihiko as my main party only deviating from that when I had no choice. For the Answer I swapped Akihiko for Mitsuru for most of the game.

Enzeru · 01-31-2009, 09:49 AM

I never really went anywhere in the Anwser, but in the Journey I had Ken, Akihiko, and Aigis. I literally never touched Koromaru.

thesycophant · 02-04-2009, 08:27 AM

Most of them got a fairly even use till way late in each game when I started figuring out who I wanted for my final party:

The Journey: Main character (with staff weapon), Yukari, Ken, Junpei

The Answer: Aigis (obviously), Metis, Ken, Junpei

Rin · 02-11-2009, 12:42 AM

The Journey: Yukari, Mitsuru and Akihiko make a good team, but I'm the balanced type of leveling character, so I tried to switch them here and there!
The Answer: Ken, Metis and Mitsuru
I liked Ken better because he didn't have any "break" skills, Yukari is so annoying with her Wind Break, I have to command her to conserve Sp everytime I encountered a wind resistant- shadow...

ChinoZaki · 02-11-2009, 07:08 AM

Junpei, Yukari & Akihiko in both.

BRASSKNUCKLES · 03-11-2009, 10:30 AM

The journey ( i switched at the hanged man boss)
before hanged man:Ken Aigis and koromaru
after hanged man:Ken Aigis and yukari

The Anwser: havent got there yet

(180th floor of tartarus NYX your going downn!!!!)

dungeon_man · 03-11-2009, 03:19 PM

I used everybody at some point in time. However, my main team (and final boss team) in the Answer:

Aigis
Metis
Akihiko
Junpei

This gave me access to all four elements, and all types of physical attacks. It also allowed me to avoid the poor AI of Mitsuru and Yukari.

It's been a while since I played The Journey (when it first came out, I did not play the FES enhanced version), but my final boss team was:

MC
Aigis
Yukari
Mitsuru

Yukari was equipped with the bracers that buff wind damage, and she was in my party for most of the game. I don't remember much else about my tactics or reason for choosing that team, but I do know that Yukari's AI seemed better here than when I played The Answer. I believe Aigis was in the party because she could take a beating and had decent support skills.

Zacewing · 04-01-2009, 02:58 PM

My party in the Journey is MC, Mitsuru, Aigis and Akihiko, but I'm replacing Mitsuru with Ken when he joins because I was stupid and didn't level up Yukari cause I thought Mitsuru got party heals.

Aegis · 08-04-2009, 06:09 PM

The Journey:Yukari,Junpei,Aegis.
The Answer:Yukari,Junpei,Ken.

Kuzuha · 08-05-2009, 08:08 AM

The Journey: MC, Mitsuru, Aigis and Ken.

The Anwser: Aigis, Metis, Mitsuru and Akihiko.

But i love all of them!

Reduction · 08-06-2009, 02:20 AM

The Journey: Yukari, Mitsuru, Junpei, Minato

The answer: Metis, Yukari, Akihiko, Aigis

these are the frontlines, I've used all of them already.

Soushi_Grapple · 08-06-2009, 07:51 AM

Never finished the original P3, saw my friends play the rest, but my fav party was Minato, Mitsuru, and Koromaru IIRC.

mental404error · 08-12-2009, 11:50 PM

Journey:Mitsuru, Aigis, Koromaru.
Answer:Metis (Shinji,but more evened out magically) ,Junpei,Mitsuru.
I must have been lucky in the Answer, because Mitsuru didn't use Marin Karin a lot.

The first Journey playthrough was rough.
Fuuka: Two enemies! They appear distressed!
MC:Attack
Fuuka:One enemy left!
Mitsuru: Mind Charge
Then Aigis just uses God Hand or critical hits it. 15 SP wasted.
