An Interview With Player 2, brought to you by Player 1!
So, if you've been following the blog this week, you'll know that our very own Player 2 has been struggling with the final boss in Persona 3 FES. Well, today is a very special Fun Friday in that I (Player 1) will be interviewing her as she attempts this boss for the, get this, eighth time! So without further ado, lets get this interview underway.
So, Rachel, as we speak, you are working your way through the first portion of this boss fight. Can you describe your thoughts?
Well, I'm hoping that it goes a little better than it did last time, but I don't really think it will give me that much troub-
Akihiko, you asshole!
Akihiko, you asshole!
So, anyway-
Oh, F***er! The Bros! Mitsuru! What the hell?! Why is it so difficult for you people? I don't understand! Okay you better stay up this ti- MITSURU! Okay, she's brought you back three times, you'd better stay up... Thank you.
What would you say, in this first portion of the battle, is Nyx's most annoying attack?
Um, usually when he does his double Almighty Attack, it's kind of a pain if I need to heal but also bring up my SP that turn. Now that we're going into this leveled up, though, it shouldn't be that much of an issue. It's really his attacks in the later portion of the battle that are annoying.

Interesting, so, what are your thoughts on Aigis in this battle?
Well, I know a lot of people don't use Aigis, which is surprising because I love her to death, but that's beside the point. I think she's pretty indispensable because she has can take a lot of damage.. and her status effects are really useful. I mean, that raised defense has save us several times. Especially in the last portion of the battle, Orgia Mode comes in handy.

Hmm, that it does. So, here we are in the second stage of Nyx. What are your initial thoughts on his changed attack style?
It's kind of interesting because he's really smart one turn and then really stupid the next. He really makes you have to focus on healing one turn and then attacking the next, and he's not afraid about targeting the protagonist at all. I think this really sets him apart from the rest of the bosses in this game.
Okay, we just got into his "Moonless Gown" stage. Would you say that this battle is a lot about preparation?

Okay, we just got into his "Moonless Gown" stage. Would you say that this battle is a lot about preparation?
Uh, yes! This battle definitely forces you to level up. Even when I was at level 70, I was struggling through the easiest part of this battle. It really comes down to willingness of the player to put in the time and effort for this fight. All I can say is that leveling up, while it is a bitch, comes in handy in this fight. It takes experience, which I think comes after having your ass handed to you several times, unfortunately.
Speaking of having your ass handed to you, would you say that your past defeats have also helped you prepare?
Yes, they definitely have. It helps to have an idea of what's coming up next. It also helps as far as strategy is concerned because now I'm pretty much an old hand at everything that happens in this battle.
In this portion of the battle, Nyx tends to use a lot of status effects like fear, panic, distress, etc. What status effect pisses you off the most?
Well I think that would obviously have to be charmed, because at least five out of the seven times I've been defeated have been because he has charmed one of my party members and subsequently had them heal him to full health and/or charmed me and had me use Diarahan on him, and that is not okay! Never, ever!
Those were tragic times, weren't they? Alright, we're getting to that time again. The final stage of Nyx, with his dreaded Night Queen attack. How are you feeling?
Kind of nervous, actually to be quite honest. Okay! This is it! Come on Minato, don't fail me now! ... OH! I LOVE THIS TEAM!

Okay, I got a little distracted right there at the end because the boss battle got intense. Sadly, we're chalking this one up as an eighth defeat here at Apples and Tea. It looks like it's going to take a bit more time for this boss to go down. Well, what can I say? You guys are just going to hang around and wait to see if our luck turns around at some point.
Peace!
