As for the spoiler
iirc it only works if there's no story stuff happening after the dungeon, just a regular grinding Mementos/palace run. Might be wrong
As for the dvds, I'm pretty sure they fined me, but it was a while ago.

I don't suppose there's a better way to get blank cards other than just going through Mementos and crossing your fingers is there

89 hours in, 7th dungeon done.
Do I now have to wait the deadline to "progress"? Or can I just go to Mementos?

I still don't think you guys are ever actually charged for late rentals.

I use the highest quality fertilize every chance I get(and I have tower at like level 8 which gives 3 note kindness almost every time) and kindness is still the only stat that isn't maxed for me yet.
That sucker is hard to level up

I think the damage variance has largely to do with enemy innate defense. One thing I observed is that randomizer(eng. name was debilitate I think) has the largest effect on raising physical damage. Without it even with attack buffs the numbers can be on the low side, buffs do seem to feed off debilitate hard. Brave Zapper does seem to crit a lot despite the text not mentioning it as a special feature. Still I don't think it ever topped out Hassou Tobi for me.
Haven't tested it thoroughly yet but I think One-Shot Kill Haru feels better as damage dealer than pushing the Psy spells on her. But it's kind of hard to nail down her skill set. She has so many spells that just shine extremely depending on the situation, worst offenders are the reflect spells which are so insanely good at protecting your healer but it just doesn't feel good having both since depending the boss you're only ever using one.
Currently running her with:
-Heatrizer(must have her best skill I think)
-Psydyne(just to have something to hit weakness with)
-Rad-dodge(I might switch this out given that at worst the dodge is invalidated like in the velvet fight by enemies anyway and that you can get accessories to deal with that either ones that nullify or the reaper ones that cut damage in half)
-Tetrakarn(It felt like physical was a more prominent reason for my healers to die given the accessories they wore being mostly against magic)
-Amritashower(I think getting unlucky on status effects is really one of the only things in endgame that can screw your party up this + rapid recovery kind of saves me the equipment slot/persona skill slot for something else)
-Rapid Recovery
-50% bullet amp
-Oneshot kill

So far I've only build a close to perfect Yoshitsune(only thinking about swapping 2-3 skills for maybe more reflect or something). Kind of want to make Satanael work but feels super underwhelming maybe he is best as recovery and auto battle start buff persona. Best caster persona seems to be Alice but if you're not going with her innate dark spell set it's going to be a bit of work to make her work.
One thing I will say is that it really sucks that there are so many gameplay elements in Persona tied to time gated. Like relearning old party skills taking time. Accumulating Skillcards taking time. It puts a slight damper on experimenting,

I'll mess around with the attacks a bit more after I get back to the end of the game again.
Anyway, I'm doing my NG+ run intermittently on stream but I've been doing a AI Only (ala P3) and using a Custom Arsene only, at least as far as I can take it. The AI is extremely competent and even uses the game's systems to its fullest. It's not perfect but a huge leap over the previous games.
My custom Arsene right now looks like this.
It has
Brave Blade
Megidolaon
Medirama
Null Blessing
Null Ice
Null Phys
Airy Dance (I think that's it)
Advise/Advice (whatever it is)
I didn't get all the skills I wanted on it but it's pretty close. I've had to manipulate the level-up system a bit to get the stats I needed to keep it competitive but it's going well so far. I'm going up against a boss next that might require an entirely different Arsene to fight against though.

メガトンレイド isn't Brave Blade and it's Ali Dance, as in Muhammad Ali

That's pretty cool what did you use to get Null Blessing on it? Still wrapping my head around who has what and the best way to get certain skills.

Ali Dance, huh? Interesting. Didn't know that!
This is the wrong save. I redid some work for the big event in September so it was my old one before I put Brave Zapper/Blade on it. Lemme pull that up. I found out when I was first creating Arsene that Brave Zapper/Blade is a skill that Arsene cannot inherit so I had to go with the Megaton Raid card I had left over until I was able to get the current skill, lol

Something about the 3 or 4 second pause between when you pay to read your fortune and when she actually reads your fortune where you're just sort of staring at each other makes me laugh for some reason.

But raising the human parameters is pretty easy anyway. Already maxed them all out. Don't think I ever did that on first play throughs of P4 or P3.

There's a skill in this game called Ali Dance?

That skill was available in P4 too. I think it was even learned from the same persona too (Futsunushi)
I can't wait to get home and get my Catherine outfits! Crap, my last save is made just after entering a Mementos run (10 missions!) I should have made the save before entering Mementos.

Without giving too much away, at what point does the game open up a bit more? I'm about 8 hours in now a couple of days after
joined probably? heading for the final confrontation with the first boss, it's been a loooot of story and not a whole lot of gameplay so far. Granted the large amount of story is part of the reason it's taking me so long as it takes me a while to read through all the japanese since I'm still not that fluent.
Takamaki
I consider upto the first dungeon as a tutorial. Things should open up soon.

Great, thanks! It hasn't been a slog at all and I'm really loving the HD Persona experience, and being able to put my japanese studies to practical use has been great but I'm just hyped to get some battling in.
I rented out all available DVDs at the beginning of the game and totally forgot about them when I returned them they told me to pay around 14K but luckily they forgave me because it was my first time

Is the DLC not showing up on the console store for anyone else? Had to get it through the web store for whatever reason.
Phenomenal Flea

Actually, I had only checked the webstore (I was at work (uhh . . . ))!
Couldn't grab it through my NA account, had to use my JP one. I got a notification when I started the game that they are now installed but I still don't see it yet.
Web store is another option I think

Hmm I happen to be in Tokyo right now for a week long trip. Should I go pick up a copy? I can't read too much Japanese...
You pick up the dlc in the box in your room.
Ah, like the other stuff. Gotcha. Was doing Memento dungeons so I never had a chance to check
RPGs might not be the best bet if you can't read the language. Then again, that hasn't stopped several people in this thread, so go for it!

If I am not into JRPGs generally, will I enjoy this game? I have never played a Persona game.
What are your usual issues with JRPGs?
A few weeks in and I finally remember that equipping equivalent personas boosts your SL stats for matching arcana. Derp.
Where can the super fancy 天然･植物栄養剤 plant food be found? Can it be in Shibuya or Yogenjaya? I have found the regular old 植物栄養剤 at the flower shop in the underground mall, just curious if it is a random thing at one of the other 100x shops around.

Gameplay wise best Persona to date(don't think this one is debatable, P5 lacks a few features that golden had but has like 10 others that P4G didn't have).
Story wise most resonating with me personally.
Not going to do a score cause for me personally it just feels really stupid trying to boil down experiences like this(I mean it's goddamn 100+ hours of various emotions) into a meaningless number and also kind of disrespectful.
It really doesn't tell anything about what the game made me feel, ponder, etc.
Also I just think like with prior Persona games people will just have their feelings largely swayed by how they connect to the main story, like always, whether gameplay is better or the writing at large has improved won't be deciding factor like with P3 and P4.
