I can mostly keep my SP at max now just from rescues so yeah no need for the Fox really
Stop doing that. You're throwing away money needlessly. With how easy it is to reobtain Personas and how the fusion system levels UP (with some exceptions) the end results of the fusion, there's no reason to constantly blow money on rebuying Personas.
Beginner's Trap! Although I do talk to him for the shit he gives me. Thanks for the free Snuff Soul!
What level should you even start to do that?
I went to the one in
Yukiko's Castle
Skill Cards are new in Golden, and they allow you to add skills to Persona directly. If you give the card to Marie, she'll record it in her book, and then you can buy a copy of that card at any time.
It's basically "super easy mode for making Persona if you're rich" that was added to the game—as if allowing you to pick which skills get passed on wasn't enough. *heh*
great info but what this card do exactly?

I want to finish this because I like the style so much, but the whole calendar thing is so annoying to me. I don't care how forgiving it is, I feel the burden all the time and it's suffocating. It's like some weird gaming phobia. I must be completely free in an RPG.

Im a pussy and I usually only fight him when Im level 30. I tried fighting him at 24 right before dungeon 2 boss, and I just got rampaged the hell up even with a strong to physical persona like Rakshasa.
Hah, the
Really? I'm actually enjoying the whole calendar system. Makes me feel like I'm in school again. Monday to Friday I need to study, work, and go into the TV. Saturday and Sunday is for eating beef bowls and being lazy. It's silly but fun.
hitting on girls for their phone numbers in Okina City was funny.

I actually ended up beating the first bonus boss at level 20 without a physical resist persona because for some reason he didn't use rampage the entire fight. Not sure what the odds of that happening are but it sure did make things easier having the weapon for a while.
I beat him at 19 using Jack Frost and Bufula. I got lucky and he never used rampage.

Just a quick question. How are you supposed to 1day yukikos castle on normal? I run out of SP.
StunandStab

1. Use SP items
2. Send an SOS between every battle. This really helps keep the SP up
3. Give ALL YOUR YENS to the Fox
4. If you can't do 1-3 you're just gonna have to leave and come back another day...
Edit: wait, is the fox even available at that point? Nevermind that

Use SoS after every battle as it provides enough SP for one to two dia casts per character each time. Also try to get as many player advantages to start fights as possible so you can beat battles using rush mode before the enemy has a turn and you don't have to waste any SP on them.
No it's not. lol. The fox first appears between the first and second dungeon. ALL YO YENS YIP YIP YAP

Where can I get SP items early on? THAT early anyway. Is TAP soda still my best bet?
StunandStab
Member
TaP soda is the best, yeah.
I got a bunch of SP items from treasure chests in the first dungeon I think. I used most if not all of them
Wait... Why are you needing to do a full run in one day?
And I play P4 pretty similar to how I played P3 - when I open a new dungeon, I just book through it until I get to the point where I can't / shouldn't go farther yet. Then, I go back and actually fight stuff, usually from the top down.
So, you could always do something similar - ignore normal monsters, and conserve your SP by doing so. Unless I'm just not understanding the situation you've found yourself in.
Maki and Maya. Who are also the best characters in their respective games.
I think because all the veterans are doing it in a single day, he wants to as well to maximise S-Linking time.
EDIT: Also, the Aika thing is really neat. The first time you go in, he says "Hey, you go to Yasogami High? My daughter goes there too!" and then when you go in a few times later, he says "My daughter goes to your school! She says you're a cool guy! Her name is Aika, by the way.".

When I played P3FES and P3P I always did as much of Tartarus as I could in one go.
Restoring SP at the entrance in P3P was pretty cheap. It was free in FES.
I'm really not sure why they made restoring SP such a pain in this game.
Though once I got a Persona with Cool Breeze in P3P I never had to worry about SP ever again. Hopefully that skill exists in this game so I can do the same thing.

I haven't run out of SP once on normal difficulty. I could probably go infinitely in normal without ever having to use an SP item or use the fox to be honest.
Not sure how bad it is on hard and very hard but SoS makes maintaining SP on normal a total joke, I get enough SP from a one answer SoS right now to always get a free media every battle with Yukiko which is more then enough to recoup losses from trash mobs. I ended the first dungeon with 11 SP items dropped from chests in a single run on top of getting SP for dia with both the MC and Yosuke from SoS.
Another nice methode to farm easy SP is beating the shit out of the early Yukiko Castle shadows. You don't need any spells to kill them quickly and as soon as you get a clean sweep you get it basically after every fight which means a ton of HP/SP regeneration cards.
It can take quite a while but is also a great way to upgrade your persona because of all the +Lvl/St/Ma/Ag/En/Lu cards you'll encounter and you don't have to give that stupid "yip, yip, all yo' yens!" fox your hard earned money!

I actually am a vet, I just always had trouble with Yukis because of no Fox. Hers always took me two days instead of one.

And why can't I go back to earlier dungeons during a rescue anyway? I only ever get one option from Teddie.
Do I HAVE to go into the TV more than once per rescue mission if I want to revisit dungeons?
That is totally lame if so.

Ah. That makes sense. I should have tried that. I will do that next time.
Do any quests have expiry dates like they did in P3?

Where do I get peach seeds? I messed up using all of them early and now I dont have any for the book side quest. Ugh.
Yukiko's Castle in the normal chests.

Goddamn, I used to hate getting peach seeds in chests and always hoped for sp recovery items, now the opposite is happening.
Edit: found a peach seed and beat contrarian king without grinding. Mission accomplished.
Also Chie's new inline skates weapon is awesome. I recommend everyone go to the shiroku pub and get those weapons. Got a spiked bat for the protagonist too.

On what difficulty? I am playing on hard and was on a level that I could beat Shadow Kanji quite easily, but the contrarian king still wiped out my whole party (even Yu with resist physical attacks) with one attack... And yes I used Tarunda on him.
Where is the shiroku pub?
WrenchNinja
Member
Normal, but I think my strategy can still work on hard. Have rakshasa equiped, use rakunda, then have yosuke sukukaja every one every turn, have chie use bufu, have yukiko guard and heal when necessary, you attack whenever rakunda is still in effect. I suppose I also got lucky since for once, king never used rampage.On what difficulty?

Shiroku pub is the night time version of the shiroku store. You can trade item drops from enemies for new weapons. I really want the Santa fan for yukiko.

What do you guys feel about the game from the technical side? I know it is not native resolution but anything to know about before purchasing the game?
Very polished, completely free of glitches, but visually still a PS2 game.
The art direction is head and shoulders above pretty much anything though.
Also, I just got 17.5k EXP in the second dungeon. Very Easy + new Shuffle Time = Hilariously broken.

lol as soon as I hear the sounds of chains, I immediately get the fuck out. Is that the reaper and if so is he cheap like he was in p3?
That is tough. Persona games aren't about pushing hardware. It has some jaggies. Frame rate is solid. I can't tell 30 fps v. 60 fps. Great color and contrast. The game is totally bear-able to my eyes.
Yup, that's what he really says.
He really does say it. It's beary cute. :3

Is there any easy way to get sp? The amount of money that fox charges is just ridiculous.
i'm a newb to persona but have always wanted to get into it, so a question for the series veterans: what's a good jumping-in point? do i need to play them all in order? I don't have a vita, but that's currently the only system i do not own so i can get anything for psp/ps2/ps3. if its the type of series that each game is generally unrelated to each other like final fantasy i would be cool starting at the newer games but idk if the story reaches far back or not.
Believe it or not, I beat him (on Normal) before going into the second dungeon, probably because he never used Rampage on me. I also made sure to keep up the pressure on him thinking any given turn near the end could be a Rampage, but...
Not sure of the exact level, but since I hadn't even gone to the second dungeon it was probably 16 or 17.
