Yea, this pretty much what I have been doing.
I was just surprised at how long this opening dungeon is compared to the first one in P4. Hopefully I can beat it on 4/24, unless the boss is super hard.

He identifies as such. All the reason you need really.
No, you're misunderstanding what they said. They're saying its a talking cartoon cat in a JRPG - we don't really need to apply gender norms to it by wondering why it has a female name and "sounds like a girl". You're asking "why"
Lol, down boy. Been playing the game for 7 hours and have heard no mention of gender either way so was just asking.
I'm wasting a bunch of SP just holding shadows up for money and items (or lending powers if I don't already have them). I still don't know the best means of keeping SP up. I'm too used to the ONE-MORE->ALL-OUT ATTACK system from Persona 3-4 for this. D:

There anything to do with treasures besides sell em?
There's a Merciless? I only saw hard. :x
Wouldn't Merciless's difficulty just affect you anyway, like Persona Q's?

FMA had a female Voice actress voice (at least one of) the brothers. So take that how you will

I can't wait to see the reactions when you guys reach the endgame and the REALLY awesome stuff happens.
Do you like JRPG's?
Do you like Tarot/demons/etc?
If you answered "yes" to both of these questions, then more than likely.
You will enjoy it. You don't need to play the older ones. Every protag in the series is different and learns about what's going on just like any new player.

The biggest hurdle is the early game, probably. As soon as you get further in, you probably can use a spell that's 1 tier down from what's appropriate to get downs for Hold Ups. If Agilao kills try Agi or an item etc.
THIS. I have been extorting these shadows to filth but using way too much SP to do so.
Ah, that's a very good point. Do teammates spells upgrade/replace like they did in P3/P4, though?
If you like turn-based JRPGs, Pokemon style monster collecting, and the idea of managing your day to day life (school and social activities) then you'll almost certainly love this game.
If any one aspect turns you off a great deal it might be a trickier sell, although I'd probably say if you have any love for turn based JRPGs you kind of owe it to yourself to play regardless...
Ever play The World Ends With You? (not turn based but the style is very similar). If you like that or similar games to it you should be good, too.
Played this game from 10 AM to 1 AM yesterday. Loving it so far.
I'm close to the end of May, in the second Palace. The dungeons in this game are pretty cool.
I keep getting screwed over for DVD rentals. Ingame events just plow through my due dates. That said, the fee has been waived twice, I don't know if that just happens the first few times or if it happens when ingame events force you to miss the date.

I'm only on like the 4th day but as expected, the game pretty much feels like everything I hoped it would be. People who say video games aren't an art form should be shown games like this. It's got to be the most stylish game I've ever played. And just like P3 and P4 were completely different from each other in tone, P5 establishes a unique feel of its own while keeping everything that makes the series great.
In other words, <3 <3 <3

Get more experience if you have multiple shadows, apparently. Otherwise no, not really. It ends the fight and gives you something.
Played an hour last night (so, nothing really) and I'm a bit bummed. I'm sure it smoothes itself out but the intro bit was underwhelming (though a bit quicker paced than P4 was), the game looks rough up close (except the characters look great), moving around/camera in the limited amount I've had feels odd and every male character I've encountered as the same gruff sounding kinda voice, almost like it's the same VA (kind of like when Trey Parker does most voices in South Park). It just feels off for whatever reason.
Anyway, I'll plug in a few more hours this week and get into the actual game before getting all annoyed.

Started P5 last night it was REALLY hard to put it down after 2.5hrs of play. Bummed I wont be able to really get into it till Friday. So far its so flawless the UI is slick, the audio is fantastic and the plot is dark. Curious to see where it ends up in my personal Persona franchise tier listing.
Still bothered by the movement system...it's annoying and jarring that when you walk it looks like you're skating on ice. Huge deadzone too.
I really wish they rendered at a higher resolution on the Pro as well.
Minor issues for the most part, but a little disappointing nonetheless.

They learn the higher tiers as separate spells so you can choose to upgrade or can keep both. There's also a way to recall forgotten ones for teammates later.

"Careful, its plot is... dark!"
Her pose when she gets criticalled. Sheesh.
Guts then charm I'd say. I came across some blocks in my confidants that could be passed by leveling those. Haven't come across other stat blocks yet.
You're not behind anything. You WILL fail some checks since you can't level everything at the same time. Guts (what you call boldness) is pretty easy to level. There are books and DVDs available early on, and trying to study in an environnement with a lot of noise (crowded school library, diner) also raises guts IIRC.

Man, this game is depressing---for all its style and flair, when you get down to it it paints a bleak picture of Japan. And, damn, it's hard not to wonder if America is going down this path too.
Anyway, the biggest cultural disconnect for me halfway through the first dungeon spoilers, one of the earliest plot points regarding the school:
Anyway, the biggest cultural disconnect for me halfway through the first dungeon spoilers, one of the earliest plot points regarding the school:
The volleyball team being the biggest thing about the school and the "untouchable" element. For an American that just seems silly since FOOTBALL was the big thing at my school, and I imagine many schools, and the big football stars were the ones who could get away with shit if they wanted.
Yeah, Ann is... unfortunate. Fortunately the other female characters have different designs.
Like, I enjoy it, I enjoy 2B's design too, but if someone were to look at Ann and 2B and decide they didn't want any part of it, I wouldn't try to convince them otherwise.
You need 2 Guts to raise

Right, right. Okay that makes more sense. I just get worried when I see stuff like how everyone is saying put as much time as possible into the one link to get the SP recovery thing and I'm just thinking of what I'd be possibly missing.
It's kind of one of those things I want to refer to a guide to make sure I know where to go so I don't miss stuff, but at the same time I don't want to ruin things. Ah well.
Part dungeon crawl, part social sim at its most surface-level description. The OP in this very thread was crafted specifically to give you more details, why not start there?

Naming the group was hard for me as I couldn't fit exactly what I wanted at first so I ended up going with 'The Shades' its not really original or unique but the meaning behind it is pretty simple: What this group will be doing is casting shade, both on the adults and their messed up desires and the shadows within those desires. It just fit better then anything else I could fit within that box (really wish you could make it longer)

I remember that it kicks you out a couple of times for various reasons, but what's the minimum number of days that you can finish it in?

Edit: nevermind, I must be misremembering.
Well, with an all-out attack you get a really stylish post-battle wallpaper if you kill all the enemies lol Later in the game it seems you get some benefits
I stuck with the French Criminal theme - we are now the notorious Phantom Thieves Fantomas

Can someone confirm/deny my findings for how negotiation rewards work?
If a battle is ended by negotiation, the base rewards you get independent of what you ask for:You get exp + money from previously killed demons, but no rewards from the persona you recruited.
Otherwise:
You get exp from any previously killed demons + the demon you talked to.
You get money from any previously killed demons, but none from the demon you talked to.
--
If you DO ask for money, you get extra money if you've previously/currently own the same species of demon.
