How does leveling personas work?
I feel like they rarely level naturally.

I also wish I knew about needing to actually find the treasure first before having the calling card bit pop up. Wasted a day leaving the palace and then come back only to get a cutscene saying I gotta come back later to claim it. Ugh...I could have done something on that day...
Use them in combat.

Honestly I'm in the second dungeon and Morgana isn't part of my main crew but I use the cats SP to heal up my party members when they need it. You can do that without switching it into the main group.

either in battle or from fusing them in the velvet room, this isnt pokemon, the game expects you to use lots of different personas, basically you use one until you are higher lvl enough to make a better persona

How long am I supposed to take to get through a dungeon? It seems like I'm always running out of SP before making any progress, it's been 4 days and the cat says I'm only ay 50% done (first dungeon).
I feel like I'm doing combat right, using weaknesses etc. but before long I have to retreat. Am I supposed to be avoiding these enemies and not even ambush them?

I'm confused? What should I do so I don't screw up? About to be at that part.
Yea, I think whoever was active in the battle will get some EXP

I try to limit my fighting as much as possible until you reach the treasure or if you do have to ambush them I would end the fight as quickly as possible by holding them up and asking for money or item

Your active Persona will gain XP I think.
My Persona rule: fuse everything, fuse all the time. Your Personas will level up very slowly through battle. Don't worry about leveling them up that way. Just fuse as much as you can and your confidant bonuses will boost your new Personas that way.
Been a long time since saving was so important in a game for me.
Screwed up by sending calling card a day before the 1st
Screwed up by sending calling card a day before the 1st
deadline which low and behold wasn't enough time! Sent me back a week which i thought id have to do again but I had a save 3 days before so it was ok. Learned my lesson!
Mild end of dungeon 1 spoiler:
You have "secure a path to the treasure first" which basically means you have to go to the room where it's located. You can get to it without encountering a boss fight. The calling card that follows is what triggers the boss fight and stealing the treasure. So...when you get to right outside of the treasure room at the top of the tower, go to the treasure regardless of how much HP/SP you have because the you won't be fighting the boss that time.
Stupid cat not explaining all this up front.
I'm not positive, but I'm fairly sure it's just whichever persona is equipped at the end whether or not you've used it.

So, I am curious about what Morgana's role in the party actually is and I don't want to read wiki entries or watch videos to find out because of possible spoilers (can't play the game for another 6 weeks). Is he a healer-hybrid? To which character(s) in Persona 4 is he most similar to as far as abilities/spells and role in combat/dungeons are concerned?
If it's like in Persona 3 and 4 then only the Persona equipped at the end of a battle gets all the xp, unless they have a ability called growth which gives that Persona a certain amount of the xp too (e.g. growth 2 giving 50% of the xp), allowing them to level up without fighting. That's why social links were so important, grinding xp for abilities was a bitch and with a high respective social link you could unlock most or all abilities right from the get go when fusing them.

Okay with all the hype and buzz going on I can't avoid this game much longer. Outside of 720p and longer load-times, are there any actual confirmed differences between the PS3 and PS4 version? I ask because I would rather save money if it's just a resolution-bump.
Pretty sure that's all. Feature wise and visually it's identical.

Quick question:
I'm considering taking the plunge and just trading in some backlog titles for this today
What's up with the steelbook edition? Best Buy's site has a more plain looking one with the protagonist only, googling "Persona 5 Steelbook Edition" gets results for both that and a stylish one that has the whole cast
Is it a slipcover? Or is that just a bleh NA version or something. (Looks like it could be a sleeve but no idea)

In terms of combat mechanics? So far, he seems like the primary healer. The only one to have Mediarama in the game for me approximately 50 hours in, and he also has Recarm.
Rise, Teddy and Yosuke.
Maybe spoilers for his role I guess? (Nothing story related)
Yosuke when alive, Rise when dead, Teddy all the time.

Something I enjoyed when Makoto joins you is her asking really like...simple and obvious questions and everyone being "Guuuhhhhh???" and her reaction being like "Oh my god you idiots, leave the thinking to me from now on"

Ah thanks, that helps ;-)!
Glad that he sounds like a good all around character who works in any party set-up, he is already my favorite character (^人^).
Would a pain if I had to sacrifice his slot for a Yukiko esque white mage or more specialized characters instead of being able to keep him in the team at all times.
Any early game tips to raise kindness? I saw that you need rank 2 for a certain confidant.
I was going to work at the flower shop but I need more charm for that. Should I raise my charm to get that job and then raise my kindness or is there a more direct approach to just straight up raise kindness?

Take care of the plant in your room by giving it nutrients from the flower shop(doesn't consume in-game time), and spend time with your angry caretaker

If you buy nutrients from the Flower Shop you can actually use them on the plant in your room for Kindness boosts without having to spend time on it. It's every so often but it helps. Another store that opens up later has nutrients that raise it even more
Sweet, thanks. I actually already bought the nutrients but haven't had a chance to use them yet...because I spent time with Sojiro. I guess I'm heading in the right direction then.
Rank 2 kindness shouldn't take too long, right?
LastMinuteHero
Member
Nah you should be able to get to it quick. One of the drinks you can buy every Sunday also give you +1 to kindness; also doesn't consume in-game time.
Knowledge on the other hand...

Cool. I want to get started on the S Link asap so I'm trying to get the required kindness asap

That's for the best. Why would you want to follow a guide on your first playthrough?
Hey guys, been avoiding the OT to keep myself spoiler free, but I have a question.
I have noticed some time specific tasks that will greatly increase your attributes. Examples include the Underground Walkway drink stand on sundays, the movie theater first time viewing, providing nutrients to your plant, and the bathhouse on Mon/Thurs. Any other really big bonuses that I haven't noticed that I really should take advantage of? I just finished the first exam week.

Lol that's how it goes. I think I managed to get back on track once in Persona 4 but in one of the games I got majorly screwed.
