Stuck at the final dungeon with 129hrs
Ya to me it's just like. I'm arsene, but I'm also a fool. And I'm also a fool with igor. And I'm also leveling my main char. I haven't even gotten into other chars and fusing and it seems like I have 4 different titles lol.

So can you get other confidants for the 1st dungeon other than
. Just not sure if I'm missing anything. Sort of overwhelmed by everything lol. Seems like so much you can do and people to talk to.
anna, morgana, ryujji(spelling?)?
This was actually my problem with the Bravely series. Somehow they were the absolute worst offenders with this sort of thing. I felt every conversation was the same idea looped about 4-5 times. My fiance played them and noticed the same thing. I notice it less here, but it's still there.

Just finished the second dungeon, about 22 hours in. Afterwards I did the stuff to initiate the Temperance social link, that was fun. Loving the game so far. Playing on normal and the second dungeon boss was pretty easy, Tarukaja (Or whatever Attack+ is) plus Rampage wrecks fools.
reading you guys's time played in various points, particularly the first dungeon / palace, and since this game unlike others doesnt really allow to waste time fucking around, I take it that me at my measly 3 hours played am nowhere near doing the first palace then? :3
I've been to
but I guess not lol >_<
I've been to
it twice story wise and I actually thought I was going to go there for real soon

I don't know if this needs to be spoilered, but super basic game mechanics:
Personas - the demons you summon. They are divided into families named after tarot Arcana (Chariot/Fool/Lovers/etc)
Confidants - allies in and out of the playable party who are linked to different Arcana, just like the demons. Spending time with them in the real world will increase the strength of the bond you share, which provides special perks including bonus experience when creating personas of that Arcana in the Velvet Room.
Each of the main character's personas have their own levels that determine stats and skills.
The main character himself has levels that determine HP, MP, and the maximum level of persona he can summon(determined by base level, before Confidant bonuses).
Your allies' levels are combined with their personas' - every level up increases all of the above, minus the summoning cap.

Lmao I can imagine how confusing it must be.
Your character's arcana is the fool, Arsene is your main persona (they're like pokemon) and the bond you develop with Igor is one of your own arcana. Every confidant has one with their respective arcanas, but since it'd be weird to have a bond with yourself, they use Igor as he's the one who introduces you to your power.
Each persona has their own level independent from yours, but yours determines the max level of personas you can fuse.

Reached the 3rd palace treasure in a day, real easy after you get the SP accessory.

The Temperance confidant is amazing. I save right before doing it so I can pick the silly answers (and then reload to pick the ones that actually give points).
Go to do your laundry as usual, and
you'll have the option after you put your clothes in.

This game makes me hate my Dualshock 4's battery life. I think I've charged it 8 times since Monday, not including overnight recharges.

Fuse away. You can't lose him, plus he blows horribly.

6/13 o oooo this got interesting I judged you too quickly makoto
Is that only on days she works?
I think it's any evening.
I think it's based on Luck for now. But I believe a confidant bond strengthens it later.
I suggest getting all his skills first, but yeah. No persona in the game remains useful for very long, unless we're talking level 90+ ones.

Aaaaaaaaarrrrrgggghhhhhhhhhh I fucking hate demon negotiation
There's actually tips on how best to go about negotiating with demons e.g Timid personality demons prefer kind answers, Upbeat personality type prefer joking answers etc. There's actually an article on Kotaku as well..
...and they actually mentioned it in game when you do your first demon negotiation..think a lot of people just skipped right over it

I understand it can be frustrating when you haven't grasped how it works yet, but demon negotiation is the feature I've been wanting back for the longest time and it's so good in P5. Even when it fails the dialogues are worth it lmao.

Phoenix Wright representin'. Was one character short of making it perfect but the wordplay works with the game a lot.

I'm boring and went with the default.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
I'm sure it's been said, but that battle synopsis animation is a work of art. One of the coolest things I've seen in a video game.
That's such a good name haha
I see what you did there
I still have to reach my first real battle, but sounds like P5 demon negotiation uses the personality aspect from P1&P2. Niceeeee.

No idea, but this encounter is making me really hate the game.
This garbage isn't why people play Persona, Atlus. Ugh.

20 hours in right now. Mementos seems like it's going to be a nice break between story dungeons. The soundtrack is still incredible. Beneath the Mask is a beautiful song.

Yeah, I read it but like I posted previously sometimes it just doesn't do it? Like you'll answer right and it doesn't matter or it'll be like "say nice things to them" and every one is nice and it's like BLARGH
You got problems.
