Just geared up all my team in a single Mementos run and got 40k yen.

 

[Squishy3]

What Persona should I aim for that has dodge psy to fuse into ame no uzume?

Probably a stupid question regarding the end of Dungeon 2:

Spoiler

How do I send the calling card? I can see the treasure from above and the party discussed it but I can't seem to trigger the calling card!!

Spoiler

You need to look around the area more

 

[suzu]

Yep, did exactly that on my run.

Spoiler

Yes you can, you won't be kicked out of the palace also when you reach 100% security rate. Just don't beat the boss or else the palace will close out after beating the boss.

Thanks!

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

June 5th is my deadline huh..I'll be done by the 22nd this time maybe than I'll be able to actually get other things done

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Oooh, just got a great Persona in time for Dungeon 2...

Jack Frost with a Fire Evasion Skill picked up from Berith. Basically a "weakless" Persona more or less.

 

[Iva Demilcol]

I know and that's where I leveled up his SL like twice.

He stopped showing up there for some reason for a while now

At What level is your relationship whit him?

I'm asking that because there are some SLs that do that iirc. And yes, he may be one of those. Also I believe you can check the status of your relationship whit him in the menu and maybe you can get a clue about why he's not there.

Also, are you going to Mementos often?

 

[OniBarubary]

Sometimes I wonder what my confidants and party members think of me I run up to them out of the blue, stand there with a blank look as I check my Personas and realize I don't have one with a matching arcana and then run away without talking to them before coming back like 10 minutes later out of breath like "Oh hey, let's get ramen"

 

[LProtag]

Man, that 50K 7SP restoring accessory from Takemi really do make such a HUGE difference in grinding. They seriously lengthen the amount of time you can hang around in Palaces grinding EXP and money before you are forced to bail out, like seriously lengthening it.

I've just got one on my protagonist right now and it lengthened it a ton. Saving up to get 3 more.

 

[Saprol]

Controller protip for anyone unaware: you can hold down the action button (I think it's "X"? For jump, climb, etc) to automatically traverse the action point--very useful if there's a string of jumps in short succession.

Dashing into action points also works. Uh, wouldn't recommend for scenarios where you don't want to bump into things though.

Death and Sun confidants seriously dragged out my dungeon crawling time so far because I'm sitting there trying to extort as much money as I can out of every encounter.

2nd Dungeon question:

Am I supposed to fail to kill/capture the first ?

I wasn't able to get the 1st one, don't worry about it.

omg

I always forget about dash.

 

[Gestahl]

I'm not very far in

Spoiler

Ann just got persona

but looking at the OP I feel pretty bad for Haru and Futaba. Are they really relegated to as little relevance as advertising gives them?

Honestly that whole OP is kind of weird, like they were afraid to give away anything from the game. Feels almost like something that was made very early on in the conception and planning phase that they never bothered fleshing out.

Is there no way to change to english from japanese voices after you have started?

 

[ramyeon]

Jack Frost with a Fire Evasion Skill picked up from Berith. Basically a "weakless" Persona more or less.

Increased evasion is not going to cancel out a weakness.

Had one of these in endgame P4.

Totally broken.

It took me far too long to realise this...

Holding R2 for dash also has the same effect. Real nice when backtracking.

 

[Alchemist]

I'm too tired to WATCH A DVD? Okay Morgana...

Better get to bed early!

 

[Saprol]

2nd Dungeon question:

Am I supposed to fail to kill/capture the first ?

I've seen two different types of those and neither time did I catch it on the first go because it ran away before I tested every elemental weakness.

This also happens when you hold R2 to dash. It auto-climbs and jumps.

 

[OniBarubary]

Is it me or is the woman singing the Evening song saying "I'm a shubshtitute..."?

 

[bigjig]

Almost at the final boss of dungeon 1.
9hrs in i think.
Yeah they dropped the ball a bit here.
Its been non stop forced dungeon crawling for the last two three hours with a ton of cheap encounters.
Those horseback demons are everywhere and they come in groups of 4 and they knock half my hp off per hit. I might have to summon izanagi if this goes on. I doesn't look like demons take hp damage from their physical skills. And life drain is broken as f*** considering those demons are only weak to bullets,come in groups of 4 and heal 30+hp per turn whole dealing the same damage which are limited and non rechargeable.
And why in god's name do personas take so long to level up?
It almost seems pointless to keep them past the point of you being higher levelled than them.

Is this your first Persona game? You're meant to be fusing to get better personas, not leveling them up.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

1) I kind of wish Persona would take SMT's mechanic where demons (Personas) can evolve into a super-demon. Makes you feel more of an affinity with them.

2) Coming from P3 the Analysis skill confused me for a while. Seems like weaknesses/resists now only get recorded after your party discovers them in battle?

Basically whack the enemy with an attack to see how he responds to it. Either normal/weak/Strong/repeal/drain/null. I usually try out all of the four basic elements first.

I'm assuming you get a support character with a scan later on.

Alternatively if you own a Persona of that shadow, their strengths and weaknesses are already revealed. 'Boss' versions of those shadows might not have the same weaknesses

Level 6.

I checked it from the menu and it says that he has a target for me or something. Maybe I need to do his mementos request.

I'm so getting this guy in this game.

You're thinking of P3 after Fuuka joins you.

 

[marzlapin]

I'm still in the really early game but any tips for beating Heavenly Punishers? I beat the mini-boss one in the first dungeon but now I'm running into normal ones in the tower part that kick my ass. They don't seem to have any weaknesses and they don't always telegraph their big attacks. It just seems like a crapshoot whether I can burn them down with normal attacks before they start killing my party members in one hit. Is there a trick I'm missing? I'm only playing on normal.

Archangel? He's weak to Zio and Curse.

They should be weak to lightning.

Death and Sun confidants seriously dragged out my dungeon crawling time so far because I'm sitting there trying to extort as much money as I can out of every encounter.

Yeah I am just about to finish the 3rd dungeon and while I hesitated at first throwing 50k for my MC since my party's equipment are not optimal (money issue.......), in the end it completely worth it. Pay up 100k for another 2 and equipping them for Morgana and Makoto for extra healing/Garu/Frei attacks. Planning to grind another 50k for Ann for sure, most probably in Mementos (I haven't gone in a single trip to Mementos... maybe I should do that.... but those days can be spent raising Social Stat or Confidants tho.... gahhhh.)

The usefulness of the SP accessory alone plus the various restorative items you can purchase off from Takemi really makes upgrading Death something that is essentially must be done for all players in all playthroughs, regardless whether they find her story/character interesting or not.

Btw... Sun confidant huh... hmmmm... so far I have neglected him, to be honest.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

When you load a save, press triangle and it will toggle the japanese voices. It's a bit weird.

I recall these being weak to Zio spells

 

[marzlapin]

Archangel? He's weak to Zio and Curse.

Have tried Capt. Kidd's Zio and these aren't weak to it, unless I'm really misremembering. I'll try Curse.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

I'm packing to move and looking at my Doublejump Books guides for Persona 3 and Persona 4. So sad we didn't get one for Persona 5

 

[Perineum]

The more I play the more I feel this game is like soul food.

itsbeen84years.gif since a JRPG this good graced us. It instantly reminds me why I loved games so much growing up. When JRPGs were all amazing back to back.

If this game maintains itself to the finish, then it could surpass Persona 4 as my GOAT.

 

[BassForever]

Did the first few days really like how stylish everything is and how fast the game gets going. My only real issue is movement and camera. I really wish the camera wasn't fully controlled by the player in the real world.

 

[OniBarubary]

I'm a shape-shifter

I'll believe you.

...for now.

Man, I love love love love love how ranking up people's social links specifically affects and deals with the things they can do for you such as the doctor giving you new medicine or discounts or the

Spoiler

teacher letting you cut class

, or the abilities your party members gain being based on whatever lesson they learned or experience they had.

It's such a strong way of connecting.

 

[Kid Ska]

(5/19) lmao Ann

Spoiler

gained weight

This whole scene is amazing

 

[Saprol]

Btw... Sun confidant huh... hmmmm... so far I have neglected him, to be honest.

Sun Rank 3

Spoiler

gives you the ability to keep pushing for more money sometimes. So if I knockdown Orthus and he hands me 3k, I can press my luck and try getting an extra 6-9k out of him before he gets angry and either attacks/summons a new enemy.

Also the perk's new prompt is great.

 

[eyeball_kid]

You're thinking of P3 after Fuuka joins you.

Yes...but I thought Morgana filled the same function with the Analysis option. Or maybe I haven't got far enough yet.

holy cow at the catbus joke. That's so funny

 

[LiK]

Omg, I'm laughing at this cutscene.

Cat turning into a bus in the collective consciousness. What a great reference to My Neighbor Totoro.

Edit: jebus, beaten. scary coincidence

 

[ramyeon]

Morgana doesn't have an Analysis type Persona. He fills the role of Mitsuru/Teddie. Whereas Fuuka and Rise had Persona that solely focused on support rather than battle.

Can someone explain auto recover to me ? Does it consume anything?

Consumes SP to heal your party.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Is it a good investment to blow all of my cash on the strongest SP regen accessory right off the bat? The ¥100,000 yen one.

I'm currently expecting a big payday from raiding the third palace. But it would set back my expenses for awhile... no more maids for the rest of the month >_>;

 

[OniBarubary]

Dammit, I need to have max S. Links on my New Game+ just so I can be a total asshole in all my social links cause these responses are amazing.

DAMMIT BECKY I FEEL NOTHING! NOTHING!

 

[Perineum]

Oh I forgot to ask:

What is the name of the "main theme" you hear in the game? Plays most often in Leblanc, and seems to have a vocal variant as well later on?

I keep humming it. Loving it. I can't find it online on youtube? I know I have the OST since I got the collectors edition, but I am unsure what # or #s those tracks are.

Anyone?

 

[ramyeon]

Can someone explain auto recover to me ? Does it consume anything?

It's the same as if you go into the menus and use Dia spells to heal except it automates the process and you can't choose which characters are using the spells.

 

[CSX]

Lol at this Ann and Ryuji dungeon dialogue

paraphrasing...

Spoiler

Ann " Just me or does our school attract the weirdest teachers?"
Ryuji " Yeah they tend to ask random questions during class"

 

[Weiss]

Man is it just me or does this game not give you any time to develop your skills and Confidant links?

Get the S. Link to level 7 and it literally cuts the price in half.
