    Imagine this, its a game where exploiting elemental weaknesses grant you extra turns and thus strategy is a higher priority than brute force.

Did I forget to mention that if the main character gets killed its an automatic game over?

    Throw in he has HP and the highest stats of any boss at this point in the game and you have pure frustration. Your only hope is to somehow land a critical hit with a physical hit just so you can have a round to heal. He was the most notorious boss in P3 and was so reviled by fans that Atlus decided to bring him back in P4 as the second to last boss of the game on the route for the True Ending...
    I'm not even close to fighting that boss yet, but thanks for scaring the crap out of me in advance.

    You're welcome

    He really does come across as being easier than you think and then Wham! MegaTen death. At least you can return to the lobby and save before you fight him...

    Did you NOT play that on hard mode in FES? I swear when I fought him then the bastard started off spamming that smurfing almighty attack...

    Also, that guy in your video? I swear that dude is on Medium too, and he got lucky that death spell missed as much as it did.

    I was looking for a video where it just murdered a party but no one likes to upload failure apparently.

    Yeah they were lucky, especially considering the Persona his main was using is hardly a "good" Persona in that part of the game. I also would not have brought Yukari and would have opted for Akihiko so I could have another strong fighter and leave healing to the Main. His Yukari spent most of her time trying to save herself more than helping the party, the Main was almost killed a few times cause she prioritized herself more than him.

    Decus and Vesper (SO2) and Sleeping Table (P3) for me still.

    I find it funny how all the "That One Bosses" in P3 were comparatively nerfed in P4.

    I finally beat him by grinding up and making that weird rock with the old guy in it. I forget his name.

    He has an insane Defense score compared to other Persona, and a high magic stat of an element the table wasn't strong against.

    P4 was still hard, but no where near as unforgiving due to the fact you had full control of your party. That's what got you the most in P3 is the AI doing stupid things, regardless of the setting.

    I always got pissed off when Mitsuru used that godawful status inflicting spell instead of raining some hell with her Ice magic and high magic stat.

    Ugghh I hated it when I fought an enemy that blocked every element and everyone wasted turns using X Break.
