Turn order is determined by agility. If a shadow has higher agility than everyone on your team, they will go first unless you ambush them. If you ambush them your entire team will get a turn before the enemy. Once the enemy gets their turn after your ambush turns, the turn order returns to normal. This makes it so the enemy could attack twice in a row if their agility is high enough and they survive an ambush.

Lol yesssss.
Can my party members ever get more turns in before the enemy's turn if my agility gets high enough?
I mean, by the time that happens I'd probably be OP enough to one-hit them, but out of curiosity. Feel like it'd still be a bit unfair if the enemies and my party played by different rules.

I think the dialogue is great. Some people will cry about memes in the translation, but I think we do have to use some stupid expressions nowadays to sound like actual people.
Spoilers from 04/12:
I lost it at this one.
Edit:
oh my god

Hmmm rather pissed off tbh. Went into the Palace with 3 days left which isn't enough time to finish it with the bullshit calling card taking a whole day at the end. Game doesn't give you a heads up on that. So now I have to go back the start of the Palace are redo it all over. What a waste of a night. Not even sure I have the patience to do that again really.
Yeah battles can be very skitzo in this. Last night stayed up until 2 because I kept getting a game over because certain battles were basically a coin flip based on what moves were used, almost garunteeing a victory or loss.
Don't feel bad. They're all idiotically slow. This game actually improves the pacing from P4.
At the - sad to say - 5-6 hour mark, the game goes from a hard 5/10 anime storybook to really decent RPG with a lot of player agency.
I should have looked at that earlier. I tend to fuddle through them until I know what the right combo is for each.

Lol A demon I met in a dungeon just guilted me for fusing him in the past. I actually felt bad lol
On the calender it shows you the deadline for locating the treasure and then the deadline for the calling card.
But like you said, you're not even alerted to it unless you happen to be checking the calender lol
That makes sense. I was wondering what the hell was going on whenever that happened to me.

Yeah that totally sucks. Needs to be put in the OT or something.
Is there anything special about black kogatana?
But other party members keep reminding us about the deadline like ... every day or two?

You should try to handle it ASAP in my opinion, just because the game is going to throw obstacles that take time to handle (like the calling cards). There's no penalty for getting it done early.
wish they just showed turn order as a list on the side or something
This was me. I think I saved right before reaching the treasure last night, still in the dungeon. But stuff was hurting. SP items were used. I did some money farming though cuz
I'm going to start Fortune, buy the SP items, still need to finish Temperance, upgrade gear finally, and of course Sunday stat smoothies.
Damn...playing this game is expensive (in game).
It would be nice, but at least you get to see who's next. Goes a long way.
Question about Death Doctor's social link (up to rank 7)
Or am I not remembering this correctly?
I might be not remembering correctly but I thought that she wasn't at fault for what happened to the kid who ended up getting sick (and possibly dying) because of the medicine. But it was instead that guy who took it over, ended up screwing up, and pinning the blame on her. Yet going by the events of rank 7, it looks like she feels she's at blame.
Or am I not remembering this correctly?
I honestly don't remember them saying anything about the treasure deadlines other than the usual "Let's go to the palace today!" messages.
What does it do
I mean, the game isn't broken, you're just not a high enough level.
Im level 13 which is average for the area... Im stuck going back a fuck ton of saves to deal with this one boss.
My favorite aspect of the negotiation system is when you're coasting through on rush and a lowly persona pops up to give you their pitch for why they shouldn't be XP fodder. All hey buddy, let's rethink this, we used to be friends remember. It's like the Ghoul bit from GB played out in game.
not necessarily. I have had enemies attack only after 1 or 2 of my team get a turn in. This is what bothering me the most about the game, there's no clear indication of turn order unlike the previous game. Had gotten me wiped a few times since I like to play dangerously (do as much damage as possible and heal after battle)
First option because game will force you many time to stop your exploration (played up to chapter 3)
Just for that reason, this game is the worst ATM of all Persona I played.
?
It should be impossible for enemies to attack before your squad each gets a turn if you ambush the enemy.
I'm not concerned with maxing social links in one play through but I'd like to ask people that have completed the JPN version how it compares to Persona 4. I'm catching myself wanting to check conversation guides already.. I hate it. Need to reprogram myself and just enjoy it without worrying.

knowledge always took alot more to advance in lvl in the previous games
Some enemies have a double attack skill I think. It has happened to me in past Persona games and during a mid-boss battle in this one.
This. This part is sooo good. Caught me off guard in the best of ways.

Just dont find anything out and play it your way. Like anything, the more you actively do something differently the more you effect change

I can see how people can finish the first dungeon in two days, but finishing it in one day? Can't imagine how you pull that off, unless you're on a lower difficulty or skipping most of the fights.
like Renmyra said.
switching party members. It's very important since all out attack is vital and sometimes the only member you want is in the back up.

This is great to hear, between Zelda and persona 5 and my limited game time I have months of entertainment between the two, I might put persona on the back burner so I don't have to drag my wii u around.
