The exam theme is so good, I think I've had the game idle in the background for about 30 minutes at this point just so I can listen to the song while doing other stuff.

 

[hipsterpants]

I'm tempted to romance Ann just to get back at Morgana for telling me when I can and can't do things at night. Fuck you cat I just want to watch my DVDs.

 

[PsychoSoldier]

You don't have to grind at all, just kill everything on your way and when you're low SP, find a safe room and go back in real world to regen. The game force you to do that by giving you 0 SP regen items in the begining.
Just remember to each new enemy you encounter test their magic weakness, it's pretty rare you will need buff or debuff.
I play on normal and the bosses (first and second) were jokes.

That's what I was attempting to do, but around the mini-boss I was barely getting through enemies, having to chew through all my SP for the Ice-Weakness enemies (the knight enemies). I was also trying to take at least a day off between dungeon runs but at the pace I'm going I'm going to be cutting it really, really close.

I think I might go back and do some fusion, get Arcene back and level them.

 

[etrain911]

So question: Is there a way to avoid one-hit KO'ing Shadows when you're leveled higher than them so that you can still hold them up?

 

[31GhostsIV]

I'm trying to finish the first dungeon, and the enemy difficulty has shot up for some reason, and they seem to be cheating by taking turns whenever they feel like it?

Then you have to endure the frustration of going all the way back to the safe room, which is really infuriating.

Where can I buy DVDs?

 

[shnurgleton]

Where can I buy DVDs?

Store at the entrance to Shibuya Central Street. And they're rentals - you have to return them after a week or get FINED

 

[tbm24]

It's a bit clumsy to not auto register arsene before the fusion tutorial but you'll be able to buy him back if you really want him. With only 6 slots and all the stuff available in the castle you'd end up fusing him at some point.

Would be better if I was at least lv7. Incubus and Arsene make a Genbu which looks like a good entry point for Bufu this early.

Thanks I found it like immediately after I posted that lol

Use regular attacks, the gun or hit their strengths if these kill them instantly. If you're well above their level and do enough regular damage without killing them, they will more than likely surrender. It's how I got Jack O'Lantern around level 10.

 

[mrmickfran]

Is it possible to hang out with Ryuji as soon as you're free? If so, where is he?

 

[Dragon1893]

Man, I can't wait to join you guys, I have a hard time even thinking about anything else. My copy only arrives tomorrow, amazon really fucked up.

 

[LiK]

Kinda annoying you don't get a location as a fast travel location until you visit it AGAIN after your first visit. Doesn't make sense.

 

[NastyBook]

just got the game. put the sucker in the ps4 and was all set to play!! no 36758gb patch no 176471 hours of installation time. none.
P5 is the fucking GOAT before i even started a new game.

Was pleasantly surprised at that once the game finished the initial install. Actually thought something was wrong. "Damn, game's not downloading its update, let me hit up GAF."

 

[Linkura]

It's a bit clumsy to not auto register arsene before the fusion tutorial but you'll be able to buy him back if you really want him. With only 6 slots and all the stuff available in the castle you'd end up fusing him at some point.

Any idea when/if you get more slots?

 

[etrain911]

Attack against one of their strengths or use the gun. If you're well above their level and do enough regular damage without killing them, they will more than likely surrender. It's how I got Jack O'Lantern around level 10.

So attacking with things they're resistant to?

 

[daveo42]

So attacking with things they're resistant to?

Well, only if straight attacking them kills them. Or have physically weaker characters attack. Basically get their health low and then they should surrender. Sorry for the poor wording before.

Re: Mementos
Just unlocked that feature. Should I go inside now or will I get more targets eventually to tackle all at once? Asking this because Ann was like "Okay, the number of targets is 1, do you wanna go in now?" Makes me think going in for just one target is not an efficient use of my time...? Maybe I have to do this target first to unlock more though? Game mentioned something along those lines. I dunno. Help?

 

[twisteh]

No doubt this will be my GOTY.

Just a silly question really, but why do some of the NPCs have no eyes? Just curious, it's like they don't have a face.

 

[Type2]

You get those through story progression. I believe sometime after the castle or maybe even in the later half of it.
They go up by two slots when you reach progression with a certain arcana.

Paciência.

Matador + Swift Strike = Everything dies screaming.

Physical attacks are way better in this game than they were in 4.

 

[Lunar15]

I swear Will Power was intended to have a vocal track at some point. The guitar sounds like it's playing out a vocal section.

 

[MTC100]

Just made it to

Spoiler

the treasure room

in the first dungeon. I did it all in one day, it was way longer than I expected. I used my Soma to get through.

I rather wasted half a day than using my soma! Soma is life, Soma is love!

Probably half for aesthetic/thematic reasons, probably half for performance reasons. It does a decent job of making a city feel more filled out, and is probably a better way of doing it than TMS's blank, colorful silhouettes.

Thanks. I made it to the treasure room and haven't gotten any more yet.

 

[Dominator]

This game is really fantastic so far, I've missed Persona. I only played Golden but that game sucked me on a level in which I wanted to do NOTHING else with my free time except play Persona.

I feel like that might be the case here as well, but I'll give it a few more hours before I say that as I'm only 2-3 hours in.

 

[Karspankey]

Hahahhaha fuck my life

Until you get to dungeons where a good amount of the enemies resist/block physical attacks. =(

And surrendering is the equivalent of a hold up?

 

[Shengar]

The Warden Twins reminds me so much of Uspenski Twins from Catherine and it makes me wished Atlus named them Martha and Lindsay.

 

[CrazyDude]

What are good cutting of points for the first dungeon?

 

[daveo42]

And surrendering is the equivalent of a hold up?

Yeah, they'll show the sweating icon, come up to you and ask you to not kill them. I think there was a tutorial battle that included this as well. You don't even have to negotiate.

 

[Axelstream]

Thanks!

Now to listen to it until I get sick of it.

That's what I've been doing since September!

Does your bond with someone always go up when you hang out with them? I've played through P4 but I forget.

Does it keep adding up until it says it'll rank up?

 

[silva1991]

Man

5th

dungeon is brutal for me so far.

Wasted all of my SP and I think I'm still in the beginning.

This is my first Persona so I have a question I'm curious about:

Spoiler

there's a deadline for completing the first dungeons but I've been running around doing various activities, studying etc. If I were to simply rush into the dungeon and finish it would I lose the days leading up until the deadline? Does the story fast forward through it and I would lose out on those 10 or so days?

 

[YaBish]

So what is everyone's favorite song so far?
I'm absolutely in love with the song that plays in an ambush.

No, you keep the days.

 

[Rhaknar]

any quick tips before jumping in? I dont give a fuck about mechanic spoilers, Im not a fan of the whole "go in blind and discover yourself man!", if it will ease up any potencial fuck up of frustration I will gladly want to know.

This will be my first Persona game, alrhough i've played countless of jrpgs.
