Ah that's pretty high but it's not abnormal in a Persona game for those NPCs to show up before you're expected to actually be able to fulfill conditions to talk to them. It's a way of telling you to raise those attributes.

Yesterday was an awesome first experience with the Persona series. But today, man, seven hours in and it's still just mechanic after mechanic after mechanic. I'm completely overwhelmed.
And it finally kind of set me free and it's just not fun to walk around and listen to conversations, find people, and just navigate in general because precise movements just don't work.
I like the combat a lot but I just feel like I'm doing something wrong when I'm not thinking of or using the last 15 mechanics introduced to me. Like why should I ambush someone for 6exp and little money when I can get ambushed and it triples everything? I've found the weakness for lots of things, but those weaknesses are OHKO so I can't steal them anymore.
I know it's a negative post but this game seriously has so much going for it that I absolutely love. I just hope it didn't jump the shark with depth for this particular newbie.

Can't remember. It was in the
hotel
It was in a cutscene so the only way to replay it is to obviously play NG+.
Since when does ambush decide battle rewards? As far as I know it only decides what side goes first in battle.

I'm not sure where I can S.Link (7/1)
I can't find him anywhere, and he never messages me so I can't fast travel to him.
Yusuke?
I'm pretty sure it's when Igor is tutorialising you before the first dungeon opens up. There's no way to get it without NG+.
There's another one in the
weapon shop
God, I feel silly that I didn't associate the personalities with P1 negotiations, I just followed this and successfully 3 new personas.
I mean, after bringing back guns and the long list of forgotten elements from P1, it only makes sense that negotiations work the same way. I love this.

Unless it's a complete coincidence,
I get attacked:
"SURROUNDED" 3 enemies, triple rewards
I ambush:
1 enemy, easy kill, crap exp and money.

How do I know which shadow has which personality?
I don't think ambush decides the amount of enemies you face.
L2 + analyze. Though I think it's displayed when you're choosing which demon to talk to as well.

Sweet, had no idea that was in-game. I was just using logic to determine what the best answer would be. Gloomy shadows were giving me the most problem - now I know what to say.
Yeah it's right above the demon's name when you hold them up.

Anyone else having trouble with an obnoxiously loud PS4 fan while playing this game? It sounds like a jet engine as soon as I put the disc in the console. I don't have this problem with any of my other PS4 games.
Mine's extremely quiet compared to FFXV and Horizon.
Yeah, same as Renmyra. I was telling a friend how quiet my PS4 has been running this game. The last several games I've played on it have caused the fan to overdrive but its been quiet with P5.

I'm starting to think that the hype got me with this one. I just
and this game has been extremely linear, and not giving me options, like - at all. I can't even
, besides moving my character being extremely awkward, almost amateurish given the animation, anyway.
Here's hoping this gets better.
left the school palace after my buddy memorizes everyone's faces
go down and explore the cafe, I must sleep exactly when the game tells me to
Here's hoping this gets better.
You're not even out of the tutorial part of the game. Persona games always have slow burn starts.

Spent another 5 hours with this tonight - progressed to 4/23 and am on my third trip into the dungeon: aiming to get to the Treasure this time, hopefully. It's super fun getting back into the habit of negotiating the Conifdants and managing free time. Also I like all the little mechanics that add more things to do in the actual dungeon besides just exploring and attacking.
I've ambushed enemies and gotten groups of 4. Once you start getting into the harder enemies, it'll be very important to get those Ambushes.

You unfortunately have a little bit more to go with that, maybe like an hour, but stick with it and eventually you might even be overwhelmed with options.
It does get better, it's just that the tutorial section of the game is pretty long. The game will start to open up by the time you have a full party of 4 playable characters.
Hell, it gives you so much freedom later that you might feel overwhelmed, haha.
That one isn't really bad because it's clearly shown to be something you're supposed to do much later on. Whereas the cutscene one just happens. Maybe that's the point? That you aren't supposed to have the guts by that point? No idea, but that might be it.

Yeah. Especially on hard. *shudder*
Yeah, gets pretty annoying.

Huh, I just recently played through Horizon and my PS4 didn't make too much noise. It's better now, I guess I just needed to give it time to warm up lol
Thanks.
Sounds like an Easter egg type thing for people going through on NG+
That Guts check is really annoying
because it happens EVERY TIME I visit the gun shop. No I don't want to be reminded about my low guts, I just want to trade some stuff!

Got it, I'll keep those in mind. Thanks.
Made it similar to the new Japanese Igor.
Cafe and Library. Probably somewhere else too.
You can read at the bar in Leblanc too. If there are customers there then you need to talk to them to get them to leave first (Sometimes more than once).
Table in the library and counter in Leblanc.
You can read them in the library of course, just interact with the table at library then you can start reading.
You need to read up at the counter. The booth is for studying.

Somehow did the first dungeon in one day
Had to abuse ambush and escape to cheese the last area cause I was out of sp and health items
Sure hope there's a Fox equivalent available soon or wish I knew a Persona with Invigorate like Sarasvati in Persona 4

he studies in the library too. What part of the counter he can read his book?
