[Tamanon]

Thanks for the advice, I think I'll max Kanji and then just work on the other social links I have left and not bother starting the other two, I've been at rank 4 of understanding for what must have been a month of making paper cranes every night.
One last thing, I noticed that a lot of the multiple fusions I can make (Not triangle fusions, the ones after that) are Personas that are, like, level 80 and I'm only level 57. Am I under levelled massively or are these meant for the new game plus or something?

Nah, most of the multiple ones are meant for endgame, they're generally ones you get for maxing social links. There's a few for earlier(Black Frost, Neko Shogun, Tam Lin), but most are for the final times.

You never need to lose more than ten to fifteen minutes of progress when you die. Whenever you use a Goho M or Traesto to leave the dungeon, you can resume at that exact floor when you return. On top of that, running through an entire dungeon while avoiding enemies only takes 5~10 minutes.

It's just a pain to go back and save because of the loading screens (you have to load four times). It's especially annoying if you're hitting one of the mid bosses and there's no save point on the floor. Maybe it was laziness but I almost never saved for that reason. The only time I would say is if I was grinding the top floor of each dungeon.

Speaking of which, Persona 5 really needs to have all your characters level up at the same time. As it stands, you almost have no incentive to use anyone past the first three party members.

 

[Red Scarlet]

Sure you do, they use different skills and elements and stuff, so you can mix and match what you want (lots of physical? go with Chie and Kanji. Need healers? Ted and Yukiko).

What's more annoying? Some loading screens or possibly a lost hour+?

And Rise > everyone

Well, you can just get rid of the danger of losing progress by playing on easy. :lol
Although, I feel like they should have let you buy the homunculi. Make them really expensive or something, but let you just buy one as a back up.

I feel like they basically give you everyone you could need up front for the "balanced" team. Yeah, there are some times when you might be better served by switching up to Chie and Kanji for physical or Chie and Teddie for ice attacks if you know what you'll be facing ahead... but you basically start off with a Zio dude and the team gets Guru, Bufu/Physical and Agi/Heal - basically giving you full coverage.
The only one who really stands out is Naoto because of her light/dark spells, but since they're useless against bosses, it seems rather pointless.
That said, I grinded everyone up to 90 anyway because I'm OCD like that, but it seems rather unnecessarily if you aren't going to use certain characters.

(And Rise > everyone!)

Just wanted to say, FUCK the last boss of the Magatsu Inaba dungeon. Just fuck him.

I'm rage quitting this game. BULLSHIT.

You got Double Quaked near the end, I take it?

Equip the accessory which halves damage. You can get it from gold chests in the dungeon.

I agree, the loading times and placement of the load screens fucking sucked. I hope Atlus keeps them in mind when choosing a system for P5 and designing the save system.

As for characters leveling up, I think characters always joined my party at a higher level than I was...

 

[firehawk12]

I would grind and do the second run of dungeons before doing anything else, so I would inevitably have my main party leveled higher than the dudes I picked up. I figure they want you to do one run with your main team and then another run with your "b-team" to keep them leveled together, but I never did that so I would just grind with the b-team. :lol

? what happen? What are your Personas and their abilities?

BTW that is a rule in this thread, you have to post your Personas and abilities or I may get angry!

Dude you're at Magatsu Inaba and level 57? That's hardcore! :lol Fight some shadows, or you'll never survive the mid-boss that spams Megidolaon every turn.

 

[Dresden]

You don't really need the "ultimate" Personas to beat the game, they're there for perfectionists more than anything else. A Trumpeter and maybe a Ishtar is pretty much all you need, getting up to, say, Yoshitsune is overkill. Hassou Tobi!

(Rise>everyone)

 

[Uncle AJ]

Least favorite: Rise
Most favorite: "Drunk" Rise

 

[OMG Aero]

Oh man, I just triggered the true ending and there's ANOTHER dungeon?

Also it's a fact that Chie is the best romance choice in the game. This cannot be disputed.

 

[Red Scarlet]

Isn't Trumpeter level 68 or so? That poster is a ways off. Of course that can be remedied in like a half hour if he or she does just a few things.

 

[Dresden]

What is this nonsense. You didn't romance Chie in the game, she was just a bro who you might have Christmas sex with.

Yukkiko for life man.

Gonna tackle the bad ending first.

And Temperance link is maxed. So only Teddie's and Fool's are still at level 9...

 

[firehawk12]

Where's the love for that short music club girl?! :lol

Those were automatic, weren't they?

 

[Fimbulvetr]

The only one who really stands out is Naoto because of her light/dark spells

She's really best for eliminating enemies on later dungeon floors.

Combine her with the Half SP accessory and Rise's SP recovery skill and she pretty much kills any non boss enemy in one or two turns without losing much SP.

Get the secret accessory from the

Nanako/Namatame

dungeon optional boss, give it to your healer.

Hell, a Black Frost with Mind Charge and a persona with Matarukaja work pretty well too.

There's no difference to her.

Oh yeah, but you can get the same stuff on your own personas... especially if you get Alice. It just seems a pain to level her up to the point to get her useful.

Those were automatic, weren't they?

Yeah, but they aren't maxed when going to the bad ending.

Seen it and yeah, it is a bad ending indeed. Now going to play for the real ending.

What about the average ending?

Didn't think much of it, you might as well grab the true ending. Ending spoilers:

I LIKE having Nanako die. It's quite an impact.

I was referring to the ending between Normal and Bad.

 

[Dresden]

I was referring to the ending between Normal and Bad.

I thought there were three?

Spoiler

One after killing Nametame (bad), one after finding... that... 'bitches and whores' guy (can't remember his name) (normal), and the true ending.

 

[Fimbulvetr]

Spoiler

The average ending where Namatame isn't killed but Adachi is never caught(if you don't guess it's him), and Nanako lives but probably won't recover.

 

[OMG Aero]

Does the bad ending spoil the true ending at all?
I already got the standard ending where

Spoiler

you just go home and everyone says goodbye

and I'm heading towards the true final boss now. Should I finish the game first before watching the bad ending?

No, none of the worse endings spoil anything about the better ones.

 

[OMG Aero]

Are there really two different bad endings?
I just went through and got the ending where

Spoiler

you put Nametame in the TV

and the ending where

Spoiler

Nanako lives and you leave Nametame alone but don't guess that the culprit is Adachi

and they were the exact same apart from one line about

Spoiler

Nanako being in the hospital still

. Did I go about it the wrong way or is there only really one bad ending with a different line depending on how you got it?

It's two bad endings.

Spoiler

The end result for both being that you go home without solving the case. They only really differ in that the more bad ending has both Nanako and Nametame dead while the less bad ending has them both surviving but Nanako won't recover(not anytime soon at least).

 

[Uncle AJ]

You can get the average/"lesser" of the two bad endings in two different ways:

1.

Spoiler

Don't throw Namatame in, but fail to convince Yosuke why throwing him in is a bad idea. (a.k.a, you picked the wrong dialog options)

2.

Spoiler

Don't throw Namatame in, and succeed in convincing Yosuke to back off, but then fail to identify the true killer.

 

[Red Scarlet]

There is a third way, by replying no:

 

[Fimbulvetr]

You really like perky redheads with pigtails don't you.

 

[Red Scarlet]

I found her and Ted to be the funniest characters, scenario-wise. They're too awesome to ignore.

 

[pirata]

Yosuke must be so jealous of Rise.

 

[Dresden]

Yosuke must be so jealous of Rise.

The brolust was palpable from the start, man.

 

[Fimbulvetr]

Yosuke must be so jealous of Rise.

:lol

Bros before hos.

 

[Red Scarlet]

:lol yeah he isn't specifying if he is talking to the main guy or Rise.

 

[firehawk12]

If you pick Yosuke in the King's game, you're the "top", right? :lol

 

[Red Scarlet]

Yeah, you ride him.

 

[Tamanon]

Opposite, he rides you.

 

[Red Scarlet]

Oh oops.

 

[firehawk12]

Yosuke doesn't really seem like much of a top though. :lol

 

[Dresden]

You guys are underestimating Yosuke, he's never afraid to pretty much lead the group while the protagonist occasionally nods to agree or disagree. I think he'll do perfectly fine being on top, or in the back.

 

[kamikazekoala]

Well, I have seen the three bad endings now.

Not that much difference between each other.

Now going for the normal and real ending...

 

[Red Scarlet]

Make sure you take out Rise on Christmas Eve or you will get the bad ending again.

 

[pirata]

The silent, introvertive types are said to be more aggressive under the covers. And I think Yosuke would be down with being the buns in Souji's hero sandwich.
