So, 4/18 spoilers...

Igor is giving me the run down on fusing Personas but I only have two Pixer & Arsene. Think Arsene is cool but I don't think I want to fuse him yet, is he worth keeping?

I recall Izanagi in P4 sucking and dropping off pretty early. I imagine you get better/cooler ones later, but I guess it's just a silly attachment I have to having my first Persona. Plus he's unique to the character. Do I lose him for good? Is it actually worth going back and capturing another Persona?

Upon fusing him, Arsene
tells you he'll come back later

Don't worry, I'll vouch for them.
When holding up dudes, I know the trick, but I am having a hard time deciphering which answer is Vague, Sincere or a Joke sometimes.

Didnt the guy in the beginning say that the cops are his bitches? Basically saying that he owns them.

Exactly that.
 
2nd dungeon question:
I let the weird diamond enemy get away, I'm at the point where I've secured a way in but is there another one in this dungeon? If so, where is it?

Has anyone been keeping count how many posts have been made about this? :p Seems to be the most posted thing next to Morgana forcing you to sleep some nights.

I'm assuming you're askingg about hhow to encounter the diamond aggain. Basically you encounter him by brreakingg small treasurees and he might pop out from it. The chances of him appearing is base on high the security alert% is at. The higher it is, the moree likely u will encounter him
 
Aw man the shopping channel isn't tanaka, bummer.

15 hours in just made it to the first boss shiiiit.

The castle is seriously long and can be pretty brutal. I wish the encounters were more avoidable.

While I do like the text messaging... Does anyone else feel like sometimes they reiterate what was just said in the cutscene prior?

Well, time to run into a laser multiple times. Thanks.

Wait, increasing his Confidant is not a requirement in increasing/maxing her Confidant, right? Because I make it a policy of always maxing out party members' S. links but so far I have neglected him.

I don't think so, but if you go far enough in his you unlock a Mementos mission that blocks both of them until it's finished.

Do you at least keep the favour you've built up...?

I mean I'm at the point where I know his
situation with Futaba
, so I understand why this happens, but it's a bit shit that it doesn't warn you in any non-spoiler way.

I think you keep the favor but don't quote me on that. I think he just has a really high threshold to rank up in general even beyond this special case.

Started the game , couldn't play for very much yet though

But the reason why the MC gets ( at the start)
arrested/changed schools
is really stupid?

They couldn't have come up with better than that? lol

You need to play further into the game. It's intentionally vague.

I'm 15 hours in and that's still the dumbest thing about the game that I've experienced so far. I don't get it either.
I was also thrown off by the opening scene
casino heist and subsequent arrest.
Is it different from the [beginning spoilers]
arrest that resulted in him moving/changing schools?

If so, when did the interview with the
prosecutor
take place— the first or second
arrest
?

HALP ME wrap my head around this game's narrative​!

The casino heist/interrogation is all flash forward stuff. I mean they even show the date and he's already awakened to his Persona and met the other Phantom Thieves so...
 
Which final dungeon are you at? If you're at 12/24 then thhats thhee cutoff point.

December 1st about to send the calling card
now I'm just wondering because at times I go to speak with Ryuji or Ann and it just says I can't further the bond despite all my stats at 4.

Once you're ready to send a calling card, the game won't let you rank up your party members until you finish the boss.

Missed the date. I can finally play in peace. Thank you.

Finally got the treasure and left the dungeon. I spent the whole day, like 4 hours just grinding from level 6 to 13.

This game is really difficult and it's definitely ruining the experience for me. I had to switch difficulty to easy. It's not casual friendly at all. I guess there's safe mode... I might just switch to that so I can enjoy everything else about the game.

It's been like that for awhile tho, I was just wondering why. I had to go the shrine one time I advanced one level up but it stopped there.

Well , I bought into the hype and picked this up today. I'm close to 2 hours in and it feels like I've accomplished little to nothing ... so I suppose I can see why it takes 100 + hours to get through the whole shebang. I haven't played a Persona title since the second one either.

I can say this much though- the maps are kind of confusing to navigate so far but I imagine it'll get better with time. As well, I'm not sure what to make of the translation, the actors seem fairly competent and it's at least on par with a modern day anime dub but.... the over pronouncement of Japanese names and leaving in the suffixes (san,kun,chan,etc) is ... just a little odd. Basically, those complaints I've read about this being too literal a translation and not enough of a localization are 100% true so far. If I was just reading it with the Japanese voices I don't think I'd mind so much ... so I may end up switching it over. It just feels like a shame because the english voice over cast is generally pretty good so far.

So a very simple question that I'll put in spoiler tags for the hell of it , concerning very early game stuff -
I've only played as far as "after school on monday" and I'm about to go meet sakamoto on the roof , does the persona recruitment stuff get a brief tutorial that just shows up later on or should I have been able to do that in the afternoon training dungeon ?

All in all , I'm liking what I've seen so far. It sure takes it's time to get going though.

About 12 hours in, and this is freaking great. My first Persona game, even though I have a copy of Persona 3 FES lying around somewhere. Glad I bought into the Easy Allies hype for the game
