They lose their turn if you exploit their weakness while they're down :/

Does anyone know if there is any benefit to building the 2nd unfinished model (the first was for one of the hermit s.links). That is, is there any benefits other then diligence. I really don't want to waste 6-7 nights on this thing unless necessary. I'm right before the second exams and really want to study, fish, or do some night s.links.

Let me also ask the Persona vets to give tips for Rookies....
I plan on tearing into this game tonight, but I'd like to make sure I start out strong. Any general or specific help would be appreciated....

1) Don't run around with a Persona that has a simple weakness (Physical or any of the four basic elements). Instant death spells are not very prominent early on, so being weak against those are safe.
2) Buy a lot of Goho-M's. Warp out of the dungeon to save regularly, as you can instantly return to your highest floor whenever.
3) Hit enemies with their weakness, and go for knockdown attacks.
4) You cannot restore SP easily for the first few dungeons, so make use of your physical attacks. Yeah, they use up HP, but it is a hell of a lot easier to to recover.
5) Fuse constantly. Fill up your Persona inventory, and fuse up something better. More useful skills, fewer weakness, more resistances, or just plain level are what make things 'better'. Don't develop any sort of emotional attachment to them, and keep in mind the nice exp boost from your social links.
6) Don't waste many phases buffing stats when you could be doing social links.

My understanding is lagging and I want to have it maxed by the time I complete the other night S. Links. How do I improve it, except for Day Care?

Reading manuals also helps.

Stupid question, but I need to know before I get it. Are the stupidly long stretches between save points and/or something interesting happening from Persona 3 gone? I had to stop P3 because I just didn't have the time on a consistent basis to finish it.

No. And it is all the more fantastic for it.
R Squared said:
The game does a substantially better job of keeping the story interesting as you progress, instead of 'Big Bad Shadows one by one until we kill all twelve'. However, there is still a lot of downtown during the middle months, with about five weeks between dungeon deadlines. Also, you don't always have access to the dungeons, with sometimes 2-3 weeks after a deadline where the next dungeon hasn't yet opened up, leaving any dungeon exploration useful only towards leveling, quests, or the extra bosses that spawn where the major ones were.
I suspect that it picks up more near the end (instead of slowing down like P3), but the pacing is one of major complaints.

Awesome, thanks. I loved Persona 3, but time constraints killed the game for me. I'm sure I can take the few downtime weeks, if I'm rewarded with an amazing JRPG.

First Post!
Anyway, I'm about to finish the 2nd dungeon, but I've been mainly working on social link guide and quest guide.
I'm only about 15 hours into and I am already starting to feel the burn. The story is pretty deep and am interested in how far it goes before I start scratching my head.
hopefully I can keep this thread alive, its the reason I joined

I am torn between finishing P3 Fes or just carry on with P4. I loved the characters of P3 and even don't mind the whole 1 dungeon system.
P4 just has so much more charm, and the small things like direct commands make my stress fade away.

I dunno. If you lived in a backwater hickville such as Inaba, and were 6 years old, I imagine a trip to the local department store would be incredibly awesome.
As for the game itself, love it. It addresses everything I had a problem with from P3 (mainly game mechanic issues, no idea on recurring enemy types yet), and went way above my expectations for a sequel. Just finished the first dungeon's optional boss, just learned about the second person being abducted (that's available to be saved), but not to the point of going into the TV after them.
The key to that first optional boss?
Getting lucky. Rampage hits the entire party for 1-3 hits. If you get lucky and it only hits 1-2 times while you have Tarunda on him, you can usually survive unless he chains it. In the end, I did it at level 18 with a Resist Physical/Tarunda Cu Sith, and my main character was the only one alive, 1 turn from dying. Physical Mirrors are a big help for keeping Yukiko up.
But yeah, got about 18 hours into the game right now, and I can safely say it's my favorite RPG of all time, possibly favorite game outright.
In closing...
Every day's great at your Junes! ♫♪♪
