Persona 3 FES: Full Moon Shadow # 1: Arcana Priestess

This is the first of the Full Moon Shadow bosses. This one is relatively easy, but it has one move that can screw over the entire Full Moon Operation, Marin Karin. This is a move that has a 25% chance of Charming a single party member. The Charm status sucks; it's like confusion if confusion got an upgrade.

When you're charmed you attack your allies and heal the enemy. However, unlike confusion, getting hit by a physical attack doesn't cure the ailment, which means you need to cure it manually or wait for your character to get better on his/her own.

If the Main Character gets Charmed, you're probably screwed. There is a Tartarus boss later that is the "Ur Example" of this mechanic. Fortunately, the Arcana Priestess won't use Marin Karin all that often.

Music goes so well with the cutscene at 4:22

Man, Junpei is really fast when it comes to changing clothing. Especially after just fighting a giant ass shadow.

Yeah this boss fight is less forgiving in Reload compared to FES. I like that.

[armanimiller]

Looks like something out of Catherine lol

[whammett]

....yeah this game was definitely due for a remake

I tried doing this fight on normal mode but I felt she was doing too much damage.

How did you get all these personas. I’m up to this boss and all I have is orpheus and nekomaka. And Minato is at level 7

[Clockwithhands]

Is there a save state before the boss? Because I don’t want to see a cutscene and repeat my schedule before it everytime I die
