OK I need to finish IV tonight so I can start this. I've put it off for so long since that one Cell Phone challenge quest was ruining my life and never dropping them, but I'm past it finally and in Purgatorium.
Somehow I managed to get neutral path without trying to or following any kind of guide, which I saw was super rare, so go me. Wonder if I can finish it up tonight and have enough time to start with Apocalypse.
Kind of feel like going MAG again, don't really have enough experience with anything else. I at first was going with DEX in IV but realized the game rewarded MAG builds tremendously and quickly outfitted my Flynn and party with all MAG users with all elemental type skills. The game was just so easy to brute force weaknesses and just pound away at enemies that I never found a reason to have physical or balanced demons unless there was a particularly hard encounter where they had a weakness to melee or guns. And I pretty much never used buff or debuff abilities.
Might go for a high difficulty at the start to force myself to actually play the game properly this time around. I don't like exploiting things and ignoring large parts of a game, but I have no self control when it comes to it, though I also can't bring myself to ever lower the difficulty once I've started a game. So hopefully that helps balance those two things out.
