There are two soundtracks and both are called Price. Just search for Price and Price alternate version
They're highschool students. You can't exactly go the Bioware route y'know.
Also maxing Confidant ranks, romance or no romance, gives you very beneficial abilities.

Good to read. I just started last night and it's a bit overwhelming this being my first Persona game.
That's not really possible though, you can't kill the boss before the gimmick shows up because it's activation is directly tied to his health and it will pop up as soon as you get to 2/3 health of the boss. I can't see how you could have killed
all the paintings in one turn
My biggest issue with the OST is that there isn't enough of it. There's a lot of great stuff in there, but it all repeats too much.
The biggest thing is the walking around tracks. Not enough of them.
While the main dialogue in this game hasn't done much better about acknowledging your girlfriend, I've already had a couple opportunities to spend time with my girlfriend during the main storyline - whereas if you don't have a SO you'd be forced to spend it with Ryuji.
Or so it seems to me.

You can do it just because you're curious about their stories and to unlock their arcana's special Persona for fusion (assuming that's still a thing). I imagine you must get abilities as well.
The higher the rank, the bigger the exp bonus when fusing personas of their arcana too.
I enjoy the confidant/social link stuff quite a bit, but I could not imagine doing a second play through just to get em all. I find it quite satisfying to use the "Everyone's Activity Log" in order to gauge what activities exist that I've yet to unlock, and then attempting to suss out how to obtain them on my own. Overall it feels like a pretty organic way of guiding the player.
Also I cannot believe it took me 20 hours to realize that
you can use the activity log to view other people's answers to the classroom questions.

Well, people weren't kidding about the game's story going to some dark places. Very cool.
You can. The first summoning from the Velvet room is free, but let's say if you fuse it/threw it away and want to resummon it next time, it's gonna cost you some hefty pile of yen.
The downside to using DLC Personas early on is that their skills uses too much SP, and you are really not at that level to support the full potential of its usage just yet.
Also, having the DLC Persona will mean taking up 1/6 of your initial Persona slots so you will find yourself running out of space to store new Personas real fast.

god fucking damn it
these fucking cavalry men in the first dungeon. spent multiple attempts fighting a gang of them to get into the
. i get in and i'm looking for a save point and instead i find an elevator that goes down. i go down then get hit with a surprise ambush and what do you know it's 3 cavalry men.
hard mode has been really easy so far outside of this one particular enemy. especially since there's no one else that can exploit ice weaknesses at the moment.

I can say is totally possible. I killed him after the second cycle of weakness the gimmick comes after the third. My trick was having a persona with heavy physical multiattacks and going all in without healing.
That's not a good reason there, do high school students not kiss or what?
They are high school students dealing with mature themes, who can also date people twice their age and teachers in the game. If it was as simple as them being high school students then you wouldn't be able to do that. Beside we are taking about 16-17 year olds...not 12 year olds.Beside, I explicitly said I am not talking about wanting a Bioware route. I'm talking about it showing up in conversations, cutscenes and interaction with others because that would make it feel more natural than having a cutscene on valentine's day where they exchange chocolates, as a reward for hitting max level.

I didn't get to see it either till I watched my brother do it. (
Tarukaja on Ryuji + Rakunda on Madarame meant I got to get him to half health before transforming back)
The game does acknowledge your relationships in various ways, mostly scripted events that have to do with who you are in a relationship with.
Yes, when you have your first intimate scene with them, the screen cuts to black and it says "You spent some time with her ...." or whatever.
Not to mention that increasing your confidant slink levels increases the power of your fused personas, allows you to benefit from their confidant skills, etc.
There are reasons to max out the relationship, not sure why you'd think there isn't any because you don't get to see a kissing scene.

Duh, thank you!
I have a question:
Is there an easier way to figuring out which fusion combination gives what Persona?
What I mean is, I had 6 Personas, and I fused to get a new one, then I forgot which of the used personas combined with another to give a different result. Should I be writing the combinations down, or is there an easier way? If I just buy an old persona from the Compendium, I wouldn't know if that's the one I need to create a fusion.
I hope you understand what I mean.

You can infer it by looking at the inherited skills, I guess, but fusion results are determined by their levels and arcanas. There must be a couple fusion charts online if you search, personally I've never learned the combinations because it's just too much info, but it's definitely not random and I guess you can use that for this.

So was the DMCA thing a bluff? Many people streaming after 7/7 right now.

The game sure loves to throw long story sessions without save points.. It's 1.30 AM just lemme save T_T
Oh, some questions:
1) What do you need to keep in mind when considering whether to all-out attack/talk to a shadow? Should I always attempt to get money/item?
2) Can you calculate the exp difference between finishing and talking your way out of a battle?

I mean, I know a lot of people will disagree with me, but almost all the romances in P3 and P4 imply you sleep with them.
No prob bob
Killing will give drops that you can use towards infiltration tools. Also if i go an entire encounter without a kill and then end it through money extortion, I get zero xp.

Well, the Persona series definitely takes a simplistic view of relationships, no getting around that. And let's be real, most high school relationships are very superficial. In P3 you do romantically bond with others, and your romantic interest with one person can cause a Social Link of someone else who is jealous to go into a "reversal" where you have to repair the relationship. But you never become someone's exclusive BF and the game always felt a bit sociopathic that it encourages you (through the game benefits you get) to max out your relationships with different girls.
I imagine the amount of work required to develop custom narrative dialogue and scenes for every possible exclusive girlfriend you could have would've been too much for them to implement.

Persona wise can anybody tell me if I'm doing alright
Bout to start the third palace I have
Lvl19 high pixie with every element skill except death

I think this was answered in the tutorial but are SP potions meant to be rare? Or is there a place you can buy them?
Running out of SP is the main reason I have to leave dungeons. I'm not sure if I'm overusing my Personas. I pretty much use them whenever I can exploit a weakness that leads to an All out Attack. Which is pretty much all the time.

Ha ha ha, oh man, the Temperance Rank 7 Ability
make Infiltration Tools for you must be so confusing when you're like "Hey, make some lockpicks for me" and she's all "...why do you need lockpicks?"
Like I suggested to new players above, don't worry about trying to do everything. People are too use to open world games or games that let you accomplish and 100% everything in them but it just works like a checklist in those games. Instead, just relax and do whatever you want in this. It's much more enjoyable when you just treat it like how you want to do it; if you want to spend your time working at a flower shop to learn how to be kinder to ask a confidant to hang out with you then do it. Don't worry that you won't get higher stats or a higher confidant ability elsewhere. You'll find your time so much more enjoyable if you realize that you're not gonna see everything in the game and that's mostly by design. Prioritize what you want to do, have fun with or who you want to hang out with. The game is balanced enough that if you do that you can make it through just fine.

I felt this way with Persona 3, which was my first. Just go into it knowing that you're probably not going to max out your relationships, and maybe not even your attributes. That's what New Game + is for.
In the early game I know you can buy shitty 5 SP items from the vending machine in the school courtyard. Otherwise sometimes I find them in the Palace.

Rare. The main sources will be
vending machines that restock weekly beside bathhouse, inside Shibuya arcade, and in the school courtyard.
Confidant-wise,
Death rank 5 will sell SP regen accessories. Rank 7 will halve the cost
He brought a
model gun that was too real for the market and just laid it on top of a restaurant table lol

how he's being bullied while that super realistic gun is sitting there
