Hey, no need to get insulting.
Yukiko's dungeon was hardest but just go through the bottom 3 floors a few times to build up a stack of SP items/tons of persona to fuse up and get a fire immune persona with high magic through level up and magic up cards.
I killed her boss with chie/youske dead for 80% of the fight.
I've been doing that, but my problem is less that and more the abundance of enemies that can straight up murder you with no weaknesses to speak of. I pretty much have to run from every Heat Balance x3 encounter, and it's not uncommon for the 2x Magical Magus fights to go Mind Charge > Maragi > kills MC in one turn thanks to Chie being weak to Agi.
Looking at Lucha's post above, I guess I'll have to farm in the lower floors for a bit. Really low EXP to be gotten down there though.

Cool, thanks again for all your help!
I did a ridiculous amount of farming on the first level of the castle. Reset it (by returning to the entrance of the TV world) until you get a first-floor pattern that has a chest near the entrance, preferably with no shadow spawn in between.
Run to and open the chest, then use square to leave. Do NOT return to the entrance of the TV world, but turn around and go right back in, the layout will be the same. This means you get to farm that chest for as long as you want. Do this to stock up on Snuff Souls and healing items (use these for post combat healing instead of Dia to save even more SP)
Once you can clear the first floor enemies without spending SP, you can also use SOS for infinite HP/SP also.

Wait so the chest will restock each time?
Thank you! I'll do just that once I'm done dying against this Avenger Knight/Bronze Dice duo.
They restock everytime you change floors. I believe they also change location, but I can't be sure.
If you change floors, the layout changes. So far the only way I've been able to respawn a floor with the same layout is by going in from the entrance to the first floor.
Yeah if you do it in the method I described.

If I play this on the lowest difficulty, is it still enjoyable? I get frustrated with JRPGs easily :/
Yes, but know that everyone playing on Hard and Very Hard are better than you!
I'm joking of course. 
Hearing the (Golden enemy spoiler)
during fucking Yukiko Castle Floor 1 is unnerving as hell. I'm thankfully aware of how he pops up at you this time around, but it's still effective enough to make me recall all of my close shaves with him in other games.
Also, I realize it's still extra help, but I do get annoyed when I answer like 50 SOS requests before a battle and only end up with one person responding to mine.

MC honest as always.
I love the photos the MC gets during the true ending:

And to think of how utterly diligent and courteous everyone has been with spoilers up until now, blacking out even character and dungeon names.
The best part is that for 20 minutes and counting, it's still up!

Sigh...
I don't even...
Fuck.

Fuck.
Holy shit, can we get a mod in here to clean up this guy's mess.
That second to last picture is a huge spoiler for people new to the game. You need to link it as well.
Actually, after reading Waikis' post, I realized the first picture is as well.
I'm sorry, but I had to be cruel to be kind.

Need a couple advices:
Hermit S.Link 7 (might be 8)
Trophy Completion: Someone said one of the trophies require Very Hard, which one is that?
Hermit S.Link 7 (might be 8)
How do I help the guy get over his fear of cats? I know I'm supposed to bring him a red goldfish or something, and that there's supposed to be a cat in front of my house, but there is never a cat there :/
Trophy Completion: Someone said one of the trophies require Very Hard, which one is that?
Step 1:
Are you sure the cat isn't there? As far as I know it's always out there. After talking to the guy once, you'll remember there's a cat by your house. Go to the area outside Dojima's place and talk to the orange cat on the right side of that screen near the carport. When you talk to it you get a prompt to bring it to the guy.
Step 2:
Another day, go back to talk to the guy. He will say he might do better if he had a cute fish because he's also scared of fish - what a ball of complexes. That's when you can give him the red goldfish. IIRC he takes off and you have to go talk to him another day again to complete the quest.
This cat gave me a lot of trouble four years ago because I kept denying it pets. You have to pet it once to use the cat for the quest. I think I only see him at night... looks like Saturday might be a day he's around. Don't know any of the finer details though.

Damn Persona. Making me go through a box of animal crackers to try and find the legendary penguin...*munch munch*
Hey, the penguin was mine!
I actually abuse the hell out of SOS, even though their benefits are minimal. Is there a trophy associated with this feature?
Also, I NEVER actually farmed TaP sodas in my PS2 playthrough :O. Though maxing out the Fox S.Link early on seems like a more efficient affair.
I think I have a Sarasvati already fused, so I'll work on getting that.

I'm glad I decided to play this on Normal instead of listening to the people that were like "Very Hard is babby easy, my cat beat it". I just beat the first dungeon and it seemed tough enough. It wasn't that any of the monsters were really that hard by themselves, just that each encounter was an SP sponge, and I was using more SP that I was finding items to restore it. I managed to beat the mid-level boss in one day, but I had to go back after that because I was completely drained. Then I find out you can't even buy SP items back in town, other than sodas that only give you 5 or 10SP, and only a limited supply of them. I'd rather not spend hours farming for items on low levels, and I'd like to do as many S-Links as I can instead of wasting a lot of days in in the dungeon.

Damn that real life, always getting in the way of Persona.
So I've been at the end of November for like four days now. Really can't be bothered with the December dungeon. I hate it.
Persona 3 and 4 both have this void where you've just wrapped up your S Links and everything, and you're waiting for the end of the game but you have like a month or two of nothing beforehand.
That's something I'd like them to fix in P5.

Twice now I've gotten to the end of this stupid boss fight and the boss uses Double Fangs on the MC for all his health after one-shotting Chie with Agi. Not even a Crit on the Double Fang, just a straight up one shot.
Not even Nocturne treated me this harshly, and I did a Hard mode TDE run on my very first time through the game.

The boss in Void dungeon is kicking my ass. Don't remember how I beat him back on PS2. Any tips?

Leave Chie dead, it's honestly easier.
After breaking his shell, the babby will cast an elemental shield on himself, this indicates which spell he's about to start casting on your team. If he casts Red Wall, get ready for Maragion. Green Wall = Magarula, etc.
Try casting a buff on your team with one of your turns. This causes the AI to want to dispel it with dekaja, so you effectively trade one of your four turns for one of his two turns.
I only mentioned the Chie thing as an aside, but I try to keep her alive and have a Red Wall on her because she helps divert attacks off the MC (I bring her back to life and just have her use Skewer until she dies again). It's just a tad frustrating that the boss can pretty much one-shot all of my party members individually, with Yosuke being even easier to pick off than Chie. Yosuke dies from a single Agi, and that's not even his weakness. At least I'm using a Fire Null persona on my MC to protect him from that.
Jesus, I didn't even know this was a valid strategy against this boss.
Of course, I still lost the battle because the boss used a Double Fang on the MC the turn when Tarunda ran out. No emote to express how frustrating this is.
Rather than be a coward on the defensive, I opted to straight up overpower Shadow Yukiko. During the turn that she summons the Prince, Yukiko had been slapped with a Def debuff and I'd used an Assault Signal on my party. Proceeded to wallop Yukiko with AoAs doing tons of damage, to the point where when the Prince's first turn came up, he immediately ran away without doing anything. I was laughing my ass off at the fact that I'd literally scared him away.

Yes. I just follow whatever the logic of the other person in most social links.
It comes down to how you prefer to swing. One persona is fine if you've got a balanced party.
I did a shit ton of silencing with yosuke and the MC on those guys. You HAVE to on very hard.
I do try to have one go-to Persona for tough fights, but I generally run through dungeons with whoever I want to level up. I certainly keep multiple Persona around for things like having a Phys guy, a debuffer, a healer, etc.

I still prefer to switch Personas in battle. Like I'll start carrying one for debuffing, one for buffing, etc.
