On which difficulty? Hard was kicking my arse, but I went in low on items. Level 10.

So how do you use cover? I thought they were going to give it back to me after the games intro but I just was in a room that seemed perfect for it in the Castle.
Lol for real.
Edit:
Nvm they just showed me again.

Hey guys, I'm in the first dungeon. When can I get rid of Morgana? Please? I find the character to be kind of annoying.
Having played so much Yakuza lately has helped me recognize some parody brands and store chains in this and they're so hilarious. The "Boss" parody brand is called "Oyabun", and there was this store that reminded me a lot of the Don Quijote ones in Yakuza, so I went to check it out and it's called... Rocinante, lmao I love it.
I definitely feel like I'm enjoying the game more having only seen the absolute bare minimum and having avoided all English coverage. It is CONSTANTLY surprising me I feel like even the first hour wouldn't have had the oppressive impact it did if I knew what was going to happen.
At the level of FFXV budget though, and from a Japanese dev?
Buckle up! You don't really "get rid" of party members.
Second dungeon but Morgana will still give battle commentary afterwards. I'm hoping, similar to 4, the navigator will take over commentary once we get them. I'm also not the biggest Morgana fan. Still better than Teddy though.

But you can choose who you take with you, right?
Nope, that was intended on the game's part. It's why you get a special cutscene.

no, there is no reason to keep personas long term
Doesn't matter in the slightest. Low level personas don't stay strong very long, you replace them constantly.

You kinda have to at some point anywho. I'm sure you can fuse another (stronger) one.

Well,
Being part of the volleyball team gives them the chance to get an scholarship for college and, well... college is expensive. Yeah, it's pretty scummy.
I said it before in other thread but the scariest part is that this could potentially happen to anyone anywhere.

In fights, yes, but
the ones that aren't fighting will still have dialogue in dungeons.

You can buy home back for like 2200 yen
How do you build guts and is there any reason really to use give me money/items during a hold up?
Anyone?

You have to talk to the party in a safe room and an option to heal will show up.
Order coffee at the diner and rent the X Folders on DVD.
When you're in a safe room, go to the table and select the heal option from the list of choices. Took me a while to figure out as well.

Shout outs to Atlus and P Studios for shipping a clean game. It's been a long time since I've booted up a game for the first time and not seen a Day 1 patch. Congrats.

You can build guts by
going to take the challenge at the Big Bang Burger, or by Studying in the Library in the corner desk (not guaranteed), or by studying at the diner and buying a cup of coffee.
There may also be other ways.
Using Give me Money or Give Me items is a great way to get out of a fight quickly, but doesn't give you as much experience.
Level 10, Normal.
I sent Ryuji to get the Treasure and kept Ann and Morgana as healers when needed.

You can stay there as long as you want, you're likely to be limited by your SP running out however.
Played 8 hours so far, Intro (first 2 hours) is... weaker than past person games. Felt kinda cliche and the pacing is far too fast (which is weird since p4's intro was far too slow).
There are some things I straight up don't like though. The camera constantly trying to auto-itself is annoying af, the characters slow walk animation doesn't match his walking speed, the velvet room UI is pretty bad (too much camera movement, icon don't match environment at all) and the deadzones for diagonal movement is way higher than for up down left right (which makes me straight up mad sometimes). There are also times where I thing the games "style" becomes far too cluttered and becomes a detriment (like how cluttered the screen can get, and how the speed of confidant level ups are far too fast compared to the slow music that accompanies it)
But there's a lot I do like. How the general feel is much more against you, how everyone is kind of a jerk at the start, Komoshida as a villain, persona fusion animation, combat, enemy models and designs, and the dungeon design all are beyond top notch.
I'm sure most of my issue with the game will be things I can overlook in time (it is a 100hr tog after all).
Pretty sure you have to use Arsene for that. Either way don't worry, you can get him back from the compendium.

When characters say they are tired in a safe room does that just mean their SP is low or something else?
Alright. Thanx.
I read something earlier about an SP regen accessory. Do you what accessory that is and where can I get it from?

About four hours in,
Stuff I really like so far:
aesthetic/music
new battle system is super snappy and looks great
New dungeon approach is so much better (so much better)
All the main characters are pretty likable so far
Stuff I'm lukewarm on
line-by-line writing is a bit rough/awkward. Not a deal breaker or anything, but it could be tighter
The real world situation surrounding the first dungeon is stretching my credulity. I get why they've set it up that way, and how it plays into the themes they're illustrating, but it's a bit much for something that, at least outside of dungeons, is basically aiming at realism
Overall though I'm into it, and excited to put more time into it.

(and by a bit much I don't mean that there aren't teachers in the real world who might be as nasty as the volleyball coach, just the extreme lengths all the adults surrounding the situation go to let it pass, particularly given that there are like tens of students walking around at any time w/ serious injuries)

Not entirely sure but I saw someone a few pages back mention its something you can buy in the clinic once you've raised that social link up to 5. I'm currently cockblocked by my Guts rank being too low.
Ok. Makes me feel a little better. Thanks!
I'll try again tomorrow a few more times before I consider dropping it down.
It's usually related to the amount of HP/SP they still have, so yeah, if they're low on SP they will tell you they are tired
You have to level up the Death Arcana to Rank 5 to be able to buy that accesory at the Clinic

About 25 hours in now, and I have the feeling I'm just getting started. There is so much stuff in here.
Bosses don't give me much trouble yet, completed my most recent palace with 10 days to spare. Maybe it's time to raise the difficulty
This game is almost impossible to put down.

You should really play Yakuza 0 if you haven't then.
Argh.
The OCD in me already cries at the idea of seeing in side by side with the other cases.
Might as well wait till my shop puts up the standard edition (hoping it has the same price).

Got a code from amazon, didn't even remember I was supposed to get that. Was hoping for an Ann theme. It had not only that, but also a Futaba theme and 3 avatars of each character. Nice.
Now if only the damn game arrived...

You basically have to. You have few if any other options due to not being leveled enough.
I think it's partially to force you into sacrificing the persona you would likely otherwise feel like you're supposed to cling to and level up. It's training you to be able to let go and use your personas freely.
The Kamoshida thing may be exaggerated, but it's not like it's not based in reality. In fact, it pretty much lines up with my experiences here in Japan.
Spoilered text below, no plot details but it would basically imply a lot about the story so I'm spoilering it anyway just to be safe.

My last job I was outright assaulted by a Japanese coworker and they gave him a slap on the wrist (didn't even get suspended!). The FB community page for my old place in Japan has one person complaining about a school covering up bullying and suicides.
I liked the story a lot, as harsh as it is, simply because the game had the guts to go there (and it made me realize that Japanese people are probably sick of that crap too).

very interested on such a lost as well
The battle system in this game is so fun that I'm always wanting just one more fight. Well, maybe it was stupid of me to keep going through the first dungeon despite having exhausted every healing option, with no SP left and nobody being able to take an additional hit. The last safe room I accessed 30 minutes ago.
Despite that, I just took out 2 Berith's with only Skull and Joker left at 30HP because I got criticals with Lunge leading into an All-Out. I should not have survived that.
