One or two let you meet new social links. Beef Bowl for example.
The beef bowl place job makes a social link available.
Enjoy your stay.
Wasn't talking about the maid, was talking about the whole setup.
All the boys getting excited, using a vacant room- basically breaking and entering- just to try it out.
Creepy as fuck.

Overall I'm very happy with the dub. Casting seems on point and performances are solid so far.

Same, going to have to sell accessories or items or something to keep up.
Also this game is really annoying about railroading you... all I want to do is exchange library books, but nope, here, have another full week of cutscenes...
How can I teach a Persona specific skills? I need to find a Shiisa with Frei, but I have no idea how to find and pass the skill. Incidentally, I managed to make one with Mafrei somehow..
Early 3rd dungeon stuff:
I wanted to post the exact same thing. lol

I made a post complaining about Makoto and how arrogant she was. I take everything back, she's amazing. Literally the Queen.

Operation Maidwatch was hilarious.
I believe there should be a crawl space that leads to the control room. Use your third eye to find it.
Don't let the timeless (also known as deadlines for those who aren't dumb like me) stress you at all. I just finished the 4th Palace with over 20 days left on the deadline. Early on its harder to make it through the Palace in one night because SP is such a constraint but a lot of people (myself included) made it through the 3rd on the first night.
But yeah, thats the jist of the gameplay loop. The deadlines are really not an issue, just don't wait until the last minute to start dungeon crawling.
Its all about finding the right fusion. You can get skill cards that allow you to just teach a spell to a persona but those Twins quests can be completed solely through fusion.
If you want to know how to do it:
Jack Frost (Magician) with Makami (Temperance). Makami has Frei
Thanks. I had totally forgotten about that mechanic.

I'm wondering something about the seven sins theme and some names in Mementos. Relevant to the endgame, maybe???
Is anyone read up on this stuff? It's hard to find info.
There are seven sins, and I assume seven palaces as well. The area names of Mementos come from the Qliphoth's Tree of Evil. I've seen Qimranut and Aiyatsbus so far, and there are eight more in the tree. And there's a thing about Ten Hells and Seven Palaces related to the tree.

It's especially handy to highlight treasure.

I'm doing the first dungeon and man it's great. They are so much better than the randomly-generated ones from P3 and P4.
Question: how essential is it that I talk to shadows to get items from them? Are those items hard-to-get or unique, or can I get them easily elsewhere?
Also, is there a trick to guess which answers we have to give to shadows to get them to cooperate, besides their "type"? I'm getting bad flashbacks to Persona 1 and how frustrating that mechanic was.

I like that you can use the Log to replay every awkward line read.
I actually think the voice acting is fantastic overall, but every once in a while, a line is so off that I have to go back and make sure I didn't misinterpret something.

How is typical teenaged behaviour "creepy", lol

Eh,
sounds like something teenage boys would do, as someone who was once a teenage boy and works with them on a daily basis. Especially since they chicken out and hide when she actually shows up because they can't actually handle it.

based on the megaten wiki the palaces do each correspond to one of the seven deadly sins with the exception of the second which corresponds to vanity. Instead the last sin is apparently represented by mementos

Yep. As someone who beat Persona 3 & 4 (and someone who stresses about deadlines in games) they've never been a problem with me because they give you a lot of time to do them. As long as you don't blow off the dungeons until the last second, you'll be fine.

question (early may):
is there a way to instantly exit the mementos dungeon (as in, goho-m), or do you just have to make your way back using the map to climb out stage by stage?...
Thanks!

I thought you could just go straight to the entrance by selecting the menu at a station, but you can at a rest stop for sure.

So yes. The basic structure is dungeon-delving until you run out of the most important stat--SP, which, through Personas skills, largely controls healing and exploitation of weaknesses--the two key aspects of combat.
Outside of dungeons, you want to explore, find and progress Confidants (aka Social Links) for more power, sell loot, upgrade equipment, and increase the Protagonist's attributes (Guts, etc.) and in general manage the Protagonist's life to make deadlines completable. It will always seem like you don't have enough time to do everything, but that's by design. Prioritise by what you think is important and you will be set.
Like, the time limit really isn't a big deal. Even in worst case scenarios (such as wasting an entire day in a dungeon for no progress, which I totally did) you will be perfectly fine. Always push forward and stretch your party to the limit, using recovery items (when you feel it's necessary) and skills to make progress swift. And remember: it's OK to skip some enemies, particularly if they're weak and unlikely to provide anything of value.
Starting chapter 3, I advice you to be careful in normal because less enemies will have weakness.
at rest or end levels you can just press r1 and warp out. otherwise you'll need a goho-m if you're between those levels.

I'm mostly wondering about the Qliphoth since I don't get any relevant results from googling Qimranut or Aiyatsbus except for a Japanese Wikipedia page. Maybe they're just Nehemoth, Gamaliel, etc. with different names but I can't tell.
It seems to intertwine with the seven sins cleverly but I'm not savvy enough and can't find much info.

I agree completely
Honestly I would even have found it slightly less creepy if they had just gone ahead and made it a straight up stripper or prostitute

You'd need to be really bad to be incapable of making it through a palace by the deadline

They kinda did though.
She makes it very clear that there are "other services" that she decides not to perform since they were only high school kids.
Your average teenage boy's ideas and way of seeing women can be quite creepy tho, and playing it for laughs helps to maintain the idea that there's nothing wrong with it.
Same in how Yosuke's homophobia in P4 is technically very realistic, but he never gets any shit for it so the game is telling you that it's fine and even funny. It sucks.
Imagine if Kamoshida wasn't important but still acted like a sexual predator with students. It'd be realistic but pretty fucked up if he never saw any consequences or was at least confronted about it.

Persona 4 golden would've been a better entry for you because it is less restrictive on the time management. In this one I do asap the dungeon which is not fun but better doing that have your last days eat up by the calling card IMO.
Edit: For Sp item, you should be friend the Barista until he teach how to make coffee.
