She's rude! I find it hilarious though.
This didn't feel exaggerated at all to me. Tbh it didn't really feel all that far removed from the
Penn State scandal. Hell people still consider Joe Paterno a God despite his hand in the situation. The victims were getting harassed daily by fans and still do to this day. People are absolutely willing to look the other way as long as it results in success.

I know what you mean, definitely. As I said, there are certainly people that nasty in real life in school situations. But the idea that the results would be so manifestly clear to the whole community
(again, multiple students always walking around w/ serious injuries)
Like, would things in your example have stayed concealed for as long as they did if there was constant walking, openly visible evidence of
Sandusky's vile actions that all the kids' parents could see?
Pleasse? this fucker is about to kill me....

To chime in, it's pretty common for people in Japan to stay out of personal business like that. Heard lots of stories from LATs about kids who would show up with bruises and cuts and they were overlooked when reported by the students, only to have it continue or worse.
.................oh. That explains that, not sure how I missed it.
Doesn't seem like I get any rewards when it kicks in though, but I guess it's neat
To chime in on this spoiler discussion right now (4/15 spoilers):
to be honest, while I was in undergrad a basketball kid at a school that was actually doing pretty well and had a pretty famous coach sexually assaulted a girl at a party. They called the entire team at 2am just to them to bury everything, not even fucking joking. So yeah, I can totally see something like what is happening here, or well, in a vast majority of situations where sports notoriety is key.
So I'm at the part at the end of the first Palace where I have to
. Once I do that, I know I'm going to be
. Can I do anything else in the Palace then or do you go
? Also, will travelling home to make lockpicks advance time at all?
drop the calling card
placed right in the Palace on the next day
straight to the treasure

You don't have to
go straight to the treasure, but you can fast travel there if you like.
And yes, making lock picks will progress time. As will going home, which means it would take a whole in game day.
You absolutely can
go back to get those chests. You can also craft lockpicks before diving back into the dungeon.

Wow, your first example is indeed depressingly close :-(.
I understand how shame/institutional pressures can keep related things under wraps for a long time. The game situation would have gone down more smoothly for me
if the coach's abuses were a little more sub-rosa (so, not halls full of bandaged students) and if that one whipping boy student hadn't suggested that all parents and teachers knew what was going on. Like, institutional abuse happens in real life, but usually by being kept at least partially under wraps. When enough people find out, eventually someone does something. My feeling was the game had to go this route because the weight of the world needs to rest on the teen protagonists' shoulders for thematic reasons.
Christ. But did it actually stay under wraps? Or did someone say something and then someone do something?

So tempted to flip the switch on hard, but I'm still in the first dungeon and everyone is saying it gets harder.

Unless I'm missing anything, there is no free heal/recover in dungeons, right?
It would be insane to one shot a dungeon based on how long the first one is.

This would be fine if I have a bunch more days to complete it correct?
Yeah I was trying to make it to the end in one swoop, but I had to leave and regroup. Absolutely no SP left.

The English VA does a very good job and delivers the lines with the same verve as the Japanese VA.

Jesus. 7 days left, and just 50% done with first dungeon. These things are big.
I'm pretty sure she's voiced by the lady that voiced Sara in Trails of Cold Steel. They sound so similar.
Same as me. I'm already looking forward to there been no countdown again once I'm done with it so I can just do my part-time job and continue speaking to people -- the world is so interesting and the characters are so deep, I love it.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Can someone please tell me just by arcana name which confidants don't require matching personas and are always leveled up in their events ?
I don't want to be filling up my Persona menu with unneeded arcanas

Thread's too big and I'm too worried about spoilers to dig in and see if this has been brought up, but... I just started with the Japanese audio, and there's no subtitles or anything in the fully animated cutscenes. I'm actually personally more or less fine as I understand Japanese (though I'd turn subtitles on for them to be on the safe side, in case anything was overly muffled (like the stuff over the radio, which I got but was a bit harder to hear) or if anything overly obscure or technical that'd be out of my range of understanding happened to pop up), but that seems... like a pretty big issue.
Is that working "right" or did I miss a setting or something?
Edit: Nevermind, think I found the option to do it. Weird that it's not on by default, at least if you choose Japanese audio, but it's not a big deal.

Have more faith in the game than that.

Yeah, it seems the JP audio DLC is just replacing the English audio. So I don't think are any extra subtitles in places that needed them.

Just started playing, will get in an hour or two before bed. I've seen a bit of the GB QL so I know how it starts (couldn't help myself).
I am enjoying this game greatly, but am having some difficulties in increasing my social skills. I have answered every single question correct during class, and have studied almost every day, i also took the burger challenges, and went crazy, but all my stats are still level one, preventing me from a lot of confidant opportunities. Am i doing something wrong? I just finished the first palace.
Haha thanks guys. I legit got a headache going through all that.
Anyway played the first hour or so. Pretty cool experience. The fact that you can make the mc such a total badass <3
It's not on by default period based on what I've seen.

When are these teachers gonna stop asking me questions about Japanese history? Ask me a question about Abe Lincoln goddamn
Well, damn. The commentary on the periphery seems to hit close to reality in a depressing way as well. Excited to see where it goes.

Some uh, logistical problems with palace 2's deadline:
Why the fuck wouldn't Ann just explain to the police that she brought her two friends as backup/security for modeling for a new unknown? The deadline for this being her "forced" to pose nude is absurd reaching.

It might be tedious, but the game forces you through those corridors in order to get you listening to the conversations between leblanc and the faculty office. Listening to side conversations uncovers a lot of story bits that are only otherwise hinted at as you unravel the mysteries of the game. You're not railed through Japanese Commute Simulator 2k17 afterwards
Nope, there is no place for free healing/SP recover. You have to use items or the auto-heal feature (which actually uses your party SPs)
Eh, you can just cheese all the questions with the network function now ¯\_(ツ
