Quick question if anyone would be kind enough to answer. Do I have to actually manage what activities I do per day and be in bed by a certain time or can I do "unlimited" activities etc... without worrying about the time?

You very much have to worry about time. That's basically the whole thing.

Hypothetically, you can see almost everything there is to see in one play-thru but without a guide I would say it's not particularly likely.

 

[mrmickfran]

Are you sure he's available today?

If you check the fast travel map, and press square, you'll see the specific people available in each location (and if their confidant level will increase if you have out with them).

I checked and he wasn't available. But it's weird that other people were able to do it on the same day.

have you finished a palace or is the palace still need to be done?

I'm still on my first palace. Then I guess the next rank won't unlock until I finish it then?

The whole game is on a timer really. You really have to choose wisely what you do with every day. Its like the game is trolling you with the "Take your Time" loading logo in the bottom right of the screen haha, since its very rare you can actually do that unless you are in a Palace of course.

 

[JJShadow]

Morgana, your design is extremely cool and I'm really trying to like you, but fuck off and let me do whatever the hell I want

Really, I'm in mid-May and this cat is getting annoying as hell trying to get me to bed lol

 

[CoffeeKillquest]

GAF hold me. I have a problem all I my to do is play. Even when I can't play all I'm doing is thinking about Persona. I need help. Please send snacks. In all honesty though my god this is such an amazing game.

Quick question though how to I switch to Japanese audio? Also send snacks and Ramune.

Awesome thank you.

What's the name of the battle theme that you can hear while fighting mid bosses like (spoiler about a main mission after the first palace)

Spoiler

Nice! Thanks.

It took me a month until I figured out Kanji's S-link was available in P4.

Thanks for the replys, I'm going to do my first playthrough blind as it's my first Persona, then I'll go through it again with a guide. Thanks again!

Okay, the (5/19 spoilers)

Anne clothes reveal legit got me. Laughed my ass off.

To clarify what others have said, the game's split into "turns" basically. You get an after school one and an evening one. Doing things involving combat or heavy story moments typically uses up both turns (and can only be started during the after school turn). You can do whatever you want during the turn itself until you encounter an activity that uses up time (which is most everything). So you don't have to be in bed at certain time as much as the game will just force you to sleep either because the evening turn will automatically move to the next day or the game just won't let you because you're tired or have some big day the following day.

 

[Papercuts]

2nd dungeon has been really cool so far.

 

[bryt]

I just noticed not every name has honorifics now. I like that.

 

[Trigonometrize.]

I just noticed not every name has honorifics now. I like that.

I think that was a thing in the Japanese version too. Not really sure why the change. Just a different style of fiction writing in Japan maybe?

 

[Joqu]

I just noticed not every name has honorifics now. I like that.

Yeah, seems like they mostly stick to using them when they're particularly relevant. Much better

 

[TetraGenesis]

Is Ryuji saying "effin", because they didn't want to use "fucking"?

Maybe. But I use effin and friggin interchangeably with fucking so I love it. I think they're funny words

 

[BouncyFrag]

So I just got my copy and my PS4 won't eject it's disc

I had to get to work and I'll sort it out later. I found a vid showing how to remedy this.

 

[TetraGenesis]

Trying to cram for exams and it's not raining:

Should I study at the library, the diner, or LeBlanc?

 

[BrightLightLava]

I always went with the diner, so that I could get points toward something else up at the same time.

 

[LiK]

Library gets you more than one perk too. I was surprised.

 

[RPGCrazied]

15 hours in, still not at the 2nd dungeon. And just found out about

Spoiler

requests! Neat, more place to grind in and get loot.

 

[BrightLightLava]

Library gets you more than one perk too. I was surprised.

It does, but (at least guts) isn't guaranteed. You could save scum it though if you don't want to spend the 700 Yen at the diner.

 

[TetraGenesis]

You get guts when studying in the Library too, right? Or is that not every time? (I've done it twice and gotten it both times.) Do you get three knowledge points when studying in LeBlanc? I just have two days to level up my knowledge hahahaha

 

[JJShadow]

Trying to cram for exams and it's not raining:

Library or diner always, you get extra points on guts besides knowledge

 

[RPGCrazied]

And you can't cheat on Exams. Booo.

 

[BrightLightLava]

You get guts when studying in the Library too, right? Or is that not every time? (I've done it twice and gotten it both times.) Do you get three knowledge points when studying in LeBlanc? I just have two days to level up my knowledge hahahaha

It's not every time, but you can save before and reload if you didn't get it. I never actually studied at Leblanc, so I'm not sure.

 

[Chaos17]

Library can give you randomly guts. While dinner is 100% sure.

 

[Platypus]

Hot damn 6/20 was something else

 

[TetraGenesis]

Doesn't the diner give you reduced knowledge points when it's not rainy though?

 

[BrightLightLava]

Doesn't the diner give you reduced knowledge points when it's not rainy though?

The way that I understand it, raining gets you bonus knowledge wherever you are.

At the diner they say that the rain keeps people away, so it's quieter. I imagine there's similar things in the other places.

 

[Tunoku]

Does this game have a speed reading book like Persona 4 Golden?

 

[Croc]

Does brainwashing give you a 100% chance to attack your own teammates?

Ah, makes sense.

And YES! Ann offered to study with me, giving me the three points I needed to reach rank two in knowledge just in the knick of time!

 

[Ourobolus]

The second boss on Hard is certainly...something.

 

[BlackGhost]

What are the options to regain SP. feel it hasn't been specified yet, unless I just missed it. Potions?

 

[Caim]

Does brainwashing give you a 100% chance to attack your own teammates?

Yeah if they target enemies it's only to heal/buff them.

 

[Kalentan]

Hey so question about the "maid" social link... Once you get their number, how do you actually pursue it?

 

[Xeteh]

Hot damn 6/20 was something else

Was that the day where

Spoiler

Makoto gets her Persona because that shit was awesome.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

When spending time with a confidant, do you need to have the corresponding Persona equipped to get a bonus or is it enough to just have it in your inventory?

 

[The Last Wizard]

What are the options to regain SP. feel it hasn't been specified yet, unless I just missed it. Potions?

Potions but you can only purchase so many early on cause of price and stock. As the game goes on sp doesn't become much of an issue.

 

[BrightLightLava]

Yellow phone on the counter, must have guts and cash.

Inventory is fine.

 

[pizzaparty]

Use the yellow phone in Leblanc.

 

[Kalentan]

Use the yellow phone in Leblanc.

Right, Right. Thanks.

I forgot. D:

...And I don't have the guts. What's the best way to level stuff? It feels like the crafting is the only good way to level something and that's for profiencey, which I have at 3 now.

 

[Croc]

Yeah if they target enemies it's only to heal/buff them.

yeesh, that's incredibly annoying especially when multiple enemies cast it on multiple people.

 

[Merkunt]

The second boss on Hard is certainly...something.

Spoiler

Madarame? YUP

 

[TheTylerRob]

I've already put 40 hours in...

Time to put it down for awhile. I've been putting so many responsiblities off lol.
