Etrian Odyssey series is also one of those games where you start off at nobodies and end up as big heroes. At the start your team consists of rookie adventurers, literal nobodies who people expect to die early in the labyrinth. By the end, everyone has their eyes on you as stars of the city
Bro i am doing a no social link run(mainly to see what happens in the universe arcana cutscene) and DAMN my personas are really bad, but watching you doing this kinda of challenge makes me keep going.
I learned through sheer coincidence that Clairvoyant relic is able to be poisoned. So the fight can also be cheesed by having the poison bow on Yukari and praying for the poison proc, then playing defensive until it's one hit from death.
Morrowind is a classic in the genre of "nobody to strongest dude" feeling games. It was from before modern open world design choices like level-scaled random encounters and between that and every gameplay balance decision being "let the player do whatever even if it's wildly broken", you really do feel like the incarnation of a god by the end
Glad to have another challenge run channel to watch. I watched both videos. I wish more of these kinds of videos existed, but I guess it's hard to do challenge runs or something.
Yeah they take a lot of time to make. It can take a few weeks or months. So many creators don’t like to make them for smaller communities like persona, yakuza etc. But I’m with you, I want more of these videos to exist. I’m going to keep making many many more!
This is 4 months old but that 171F minotaur you couldnt clear in the monad door, you can kill with theurgies (which ignore resistances) if you dont mind passing turns with blocking to slowly build over time. Make sure to cure any status ailments like charm, rage, or fear else the bar wont fill. MC Makoto has the severe slash theurgy which CAN crit based off the currently equipped personas crit chance, so Sigfield is great to swap to before casting. This also applies to any boost or amps a persona may have learned, and accessories so aigis can crit more.
Like I know physical in p4 and p5 were good but they made it so broken in reload with all the new passives for them that it kinda makes magic useless after the first few blocks
Thanks to this video I decided to watch Mashle, watched the first 3 episodes today and I am genuinely loving it, I love Mash. He is a pretty funny and caring Character. Next time I play Persona 4, I know what I'll be naming the protagonist.
@ lol I replied to the wrong comment. I’m glad you’re enjoying mashle! I love how unique mashle is as an MC, there’s not really anyone else I can compare him to, it’s really refreshing
Games where you are just a nobody and eventually become someone, something greater. Games I've played that i felt like had that would be the Mother series, Mega man Starforce (first one specifically for the nobody aspect), and Castlevania: Aria of sorrow. Honestly, these three have to be my favorite 'RPG's', I always loved the feeling of progression in games. Just wanted to go on a nerdy ramble on my favorites, lol.
@EldianDevilPlays Aria of sorrow and Dawn have this pretty cool system, which is the souls, which is one of the things that I really liked about the two games.
@@EldianDevilPlays Dragon Quest games have you start with almost nothing and rise as The Hero to banish evil. I could suggest Etrian Odyssey since there's even more struggle in the beginning, but becoming godlike requires mastery of its more esoteric mechanics. 2-shotting bosses is quite the power trip.
@@EldianDevilPlaysSo many recommend 11 or 8, though I haven't played them yet to vouch for the majority. 3 is good and it's getting its remake soon enough though! I'm also really liking 4 & 5.
I feel like the other party members should be able to use magic, since everyone else can in the story, but it would probably may the challenge quite trivial.
Funny enough they mention cream puffs in some school store dialogue but you can’t actually buy them. I wanted to make the run a cream puff only run but it wasn’t possible lol
whenever i get to the point i can steamroll a game after a more difficult early game it just kinda leaves me wanting to replay the first sections again, just doesn't feel as satisfying to win at that point to me I guess? Well edited video
Not to be nitpicky but you put "No SP loss under any circumstance" as your rule but then you use Armageddon which makes you lose SP to 1 unless you're already at 0. I get that It's to make the reaper grind faster but still :(. Still a god run though for dealing with everything else in the game.
Good point! The answer is…..I just didn’t think of that LMAO. I guess in my head I thought, other Theurgies didn’t use SP so Armageddon wouldn’t either. Just to play devils advocate here, for the sake of just roleplaying. One could argue that Armageddon doesn’t “use” SP but drains it instead. Since every action in the game that “uses” SP can’t be performed unless you have the necessary SP. BUT when enemies drain SP, they can do that even if you have no SP for them to drain. So it feels like Armageddon falls under the “drain” category. If I had a way to set my SP to zero permanently then it wouldn’t really matter. But I did say at the beginning that anything that makes the sp bar go down is a no. Still a great catch, I really wish I would’ve caught that earlier though. :( I would’ve just grinded up a different way.
Fire emblem games tend to be that you start weak and then become a god i had a unit in engage that had so much physical defense that not even the final boss could do damage with a physical attack
@@EldianDevilPlays no problem. i would recommend anything awakening and later as a start point. because those have a mode to disable the permadeath which imo makes the first playthrough less frustrating.
No SP. The first thing that comes to mind is physical attacks do chip damage onto user. No Heals? Mind control is real bad too Are you surviving on items?
Yes definitely! It makes the game more interesting. You’re forced to get creative with some of the battles, that are usually not a problem on normal. I
You said you want games where you start as nobody and become amazing? Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest on the SNES. The character you get to name is the weakest member of your party until you reach the same, unchanging XP level as your partner. Only you get to level up, your partner's level is static. By the end of the game, provided you've picked up the right magic and armor, you're unstoppable, moreso than your partner, Phoebe, the resident mage of the game where magic is the sole viable tactic late-game, and Seeds, the only MP restorative, are at a premium. However, don't get me wrong. FF:MQ is not a hard game, nor is it thought-provoking, or even very well made. You can duplicate consumable items in eight inputs, for example. But it *is* my favourite.
It’s like a cross over of Black Clover x Harry Potter x One Punch Man. It’s mainly a comedic anime. The combination sounds like it doesn’t work but it is so worth it if you like funny anime!
There's plenty of options for dumb shit. "P3R but the Protag can only use Orpheus in battle" "P3R with no party members other than the Protag" "P3R without ever losing HP" "P3FES" etc
I understand not using SP as to fit the theme but in the manga Mash is literally the only one that can’t use magic so I think you could have just made the mc not use sp
@@EldianDevilPlays Yeah I thought about it after I wrote it. The video was fire thanks. Also you helped me figure out fusion of personas. I used the set up you did but i did it with huhuman and its busted.
I’d recommend the dark souls trilogy, I have a slight issue with 3 because of its design but dark souls is about starting as nothing then becoming more.
actually fortune is not random. you might have misremembered in the recordin gbut to my knowladge fortune is not random which is really sad because being random was fortunes whole bit and even more sad because who thought a 300 fixed damage you are FORCED TO TAKE was a good idea?
So you play literally like my good dear friend Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne as a Demi-Fiend because how stupid Magic work in that game (long story short, physical build is the only way since Magic can't crit and got weaker as you level up. LOL)
@@EldianDevilPlays That the short ver., there is video specially tell you how INSANE the damage calculation behind Magic. Not to mention all of the magic got a Hidden Peak Damage Lv Value as well. But some spell peak even BEFORE you got them like Megidolaon at Level 27. WHO THOUGHT THIS SHIT? ua-cam.com/video/m6v9j06rZG4/v-deo.htmlsi=XV2HcsIF2brDctk5
Yes... and no. Cause some of the shadows reflect phys. Because this is a new game not plus, you're fucked. You might as well be doing Theurgy attacks all game.
@@EldianDevilPlays for me it was kinda funny. i didnt have fusion calc or anything open but bishamonten is so perfectly pre built to be the gun expert its nuts. also it feels the game forgets gun is an element most of the time so things just die.
hit it till it dies is the best strat as shown in saoa
It’s all I know bro LMAO
Sword art online alternative?
@@chrishansen1842 abridged
Fun fact, you can’t die in the first tutorial. Makoto just keeps Matrix dodging with 1 HP left
Ah that explains it. No luck there, just good old tutorial armor
Meanwhile in SMT 3 Nocturne You can die in the very first fight.
@@raulrojas9253 The amount of deaths owed to that preta is astronomical
@@raulrojas9253 Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne would never take advantage of our innate crit-ability
Turned bro into sans 😭
Dub Mash and Makoto are both Alex Le so this is funny 🤣
Yeah! I wanted to get some Aleks Le lines for the video but I didn’t know if anyone would get the reference lol. You’re awesome!
@@EldianDevilPlays Bonus that Aleks also voices Luke in Street Fighter 6, so there's that as well 🤣
Doesnt he also voice akechi or am i trippin? I think i remember hearing somewhere he voiced akechi.
@@RicoAintRasputin Nope, that's Robbie Daymond

Yeah, now you get why we love Yukari.
LMAOOOO.
Almost every character named Yukari is awesome
@@HeroOfAnnihilated
Almost?! Seems like you have a Yukari in mind that you don’t like O.o
Am I the only person who thought that "Yukari's Strap" meant she gave us her personal gun. I thought she stayed strapped up at all times.
I HAD THE SAME THOUGHT. I initially had a whole bit around that. But I scrapped it cuz I thought it was too much lol
I dunno why Medicine Man's so mad, you were singlehandedly funding his whole outfit this run.
LMAOOO. I kept his lights on fr fr
Honolulu city lights on a persona video with a Mashle concept...you deserved my like and subscribe

Ooh! The art style for this game looks so good! Definitely adding to my list
@EldianDevilPlays if you wanna try the mechanics first, Persona Q uses Etrian Odyssey mechanics
@@EldianDevilPlaysalright, Metaphor came out, and that fits the bill too- it has very similar mechanics to Persona
Cant wait to see you play persona 4 Golden
On my list! I’m just trying to find an interesting way to play it that hasn’t been done before :)

How is that channel so unknow, what a good quality bro, continue like that.
Thank you so much. I appreciate it!
I love all the comments the characters make it adds some more comedic relief to your torture
For real ! LMAOOO
love the editing and your commentary, keep it up!! chill on my goat yukari though
LMFAO. I had to keep the meme going but it’s overplayed now. Thank you!
mash and makoto being voiced by aleks makes this even better
I wanted to include a bit about that! I thought it might be too obscure lol
Awesome run, can't wait for the next upload 🙏
Thank you for watching! Hope you have a great day
Brilliant video, man. Instant sub. I love your commentary and the cooking with Akihiko segment was hilarious. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! I was scared people would hate the segment lol. Glad you enjoyed!
Nah, creative and on point with the challenge. Ima have to add you to the sub box for that 🤘🏿
I think Mash would totally have a persona
It would definitely be Siegfried.

Terraria is a great example of a game where you start out weak and become super strong, especially modded.
12:42 Xenoblade Chronicles 2 does that, and also just do happens to be my favorite game of all time :3
Many others have recommended it. It has to be good!
Like I know physical in p4 and p5 were good but they made it so broken in reload with all the new passives for them that it kinda makes magic useless after the first few blocks
Yeah I agree! It’s definitely overturned
Your challenge runs are amazing, wokld love to see you do one on an smt game like nocturne or 5
I’ve definitely thought about it! I’ve never played an SMT game, I’ll likely want to start with nocturne!
@@EldianDevilPlays good luck man, you might already know this but nocturne is notorious for being difficult
Persona 3 grind going strong. 👏👏
Lol it definitely is!
Thanks to this video I decided to watch Mashle, watched the first 3 episodes today and I am genuinely loving it, I love Mash. He is a pretty funny and caring Character. Next time I play Persona 4, I know what I'll be naming the protagonist.

Terraria is a game that takes you from 0 to god
Different vibe entirely but far cry 3 specifically really give the feel of zero to god level character also has a top 5 antagonist don’t @ me lol
Goated choice
Ose and Siegfried is all i need
anything that costs MP/mana/mind is magic. Things that cost HP is not

JUST LIKE BLACK CLOVER!!!!
new p3r video, i'm excited :)
Hope you enjoyed it!
nice run, but couldn't you have used the elemental weapons from the antique store to beat enemies who null physical?
Oh my god yes I could have LMAO. I scoured the store and totally missed that. Huge oversight
I feel like the other party members should be able to use magic, since everyone else can in the story, but it would probably may the challenge quite trivial.
I agreeeee! But I wanted to make the challenge more difficult
But the question is, CAN you find Cream Puffs in Persona Reload? 😢
Funny enough they mention cream puffs in some school store dialogue but you can’t actually buy them. I wanted to make the run a cream puff only run but it wasn’t possible lol
@@EldianDevilPlays rip :(
This run wouldve gone a lot faster if Ken just took the damn bullet
LOL
a game were you go from underdog to god what else if not Kenshi
Oh it’s on sale rn. Definitely adding it!
Also, Mash looks like Yu
I'm surprised you didn't use Koromaru for the team wide charge
The honest answer to that is I didn’t think about it 😅
Now, attempt this in P3 Portable. That would be a way harder challenge, and it would be quite impressive if you could beat it.
