What are treasure items for? Just selling?
It makes sense for her, though. Considering her character background and her aspirations.

Yup for some reason it's​ more irritating now that it's another character lol

The lovers arcana girl always feels line the canon choice and not choosing them makes some scenes and feel awkward ESPECIALLY in the spin off games.

Oh no no, I mean if you choose to just be friends with her the remaining S. Link meetings still heavily imply that she has feelings for you but is keeping a lid on them.

Post 2nd dungeon
Her following me in school hallways with a fully detailed manga was thes first moment I was really pissed I can't take screenshots in this game.
I'm surprised how little like Jun and Lisa him and Ann are, the designs (and some of the backstories) are obviously inspired, but their personality are completely different.

This game has all sorts of moments where I want to use to share button. I don't use it often but god damnit

Not sure how far you are but (right before August)
the game seems to guide you towards Makoto both in the story and in her Confidant. A lot of that "not my/fake boyfriend" stuff.
Yeah, they were clear throwbacks from a design perspective, but I was pleasantly surprised how much their own people they were. Yusuke in particular cracks me up - I was expecting someone very serious and downtrodden like Jun and instead I got a man who will stop at nothing in the pursuit of #aesthetic.
(Now if only they'd carried over being able to date Jun)
Whew. This game is so much fun. And insanely stylish. I love the art direction so much, so it especially sucks that I can't take screenshots. I mean, hell, I would do it just to take note of certain things they teach in the classroom and the like. Oh well, guess I'll just have to keep standing up and taking a photo with my phone.
I'm currently still in April, its last week, I believe. Level 10 or so. The game is already getting tougher for me, (second half of first dungeon)
Had a pretty good amount of cash, though, so I bought some new equipment that will hopefully help.
Small question about the Palaces, though:
And where can I purchase SP curatives? I seem to need those more than I need HP curatives. (early Hierophant Confidant spoilers?)
(regarding the owner of the first palace)

when I encountered those large red guard shadows at the base of the tower.
Small question about the Palaces, though:
I'm assuming I won't be able to return to Palaces I've finished since the point of stealing the treasure is to get rid of the castle and whatnot. So... I'll miss out on the treasure chests I wasn't able to open, right?

I already unlocked the coffee-making ability from Sojiro.

Kamoshida is such a piece of shit. It's infuriating, especially how the school seems to see him as some sort of hero. It'll be so satisfying to make him confess his sins and whatnot. And what he did to the track team? Fuck. Poor Ryuuji... And the volleyball team too, of course. I hope Suzui will turn out okay.
It's probably why her lines so far haven't stood out as much for me.

How/when do I get more mementos requests? I'm on 6/1 and only have
I read tips saying to stack them before going in.
one other than the tutorial one

Yusuke benefits from stuff like Baton Touch more than Ryuji does because of several skills he has. Yusuke also can counter and is the speed buffer for the team, making you harder to hit. Up until the near end, Yusuke is a arguably the better phys damage as well though Ryuji ends up outpacing him

Oh good to know. Well I guess that's alright!

Really? I kinda ditched him but now I think I will use him more often.

He's a dick. So far that's the only confidant I've actually had to hang out with 3 times for an upgrade.

He warms up to you
I'm pretty sure early on you don't get many and it you have to do them one by one in order to get new ones.

I assume you mean the character, not her actress? She seems fine to me.

Mishima won't give you more unless you finish that tutorial one. You also have to look for others yourself. Like certain confidant events will give you mementos and working at certain places a number of times.

Yup... I'm not that far into the game, but I've lost so many god damn nights to morgana. I planned out going to the spa, or something else. But nooooo apparently I'm too tired to go have a nice soak in the bath.
First dungeon down! Just waiting on the repercussions now.
Can't decide what day-to-day stats and objectives I should pursue next. Got Guts and Charm at 2, and finally got my room fully cleaned up. Need to check in with the doctor again, but apparently she'll only see me in the evening. I feel like I should be doing more studying, but I'm always tempted to do other things when it isn't raining. I also need to resummon or otherwise collect a Hierophant duder for confidant ups. Hrms.
Hey, little-known secret -- this game's pretty good.

Honestly, I'm just not finding some of the mole hill uproar about the localization. The writing and VA is fantastic less a few clunkers.

Truth. Sojiro is probably my favorite or second-favorite Confidant and his in-story stuff is pretty great too. Honestly the whole relationship (August spoilers)
between him, Futaba, and the MC is really great. I loved their interactions and how Sojiro and Futaba's Confidant scenes involved the other as well.

Just because I haven't gotten to that point yet I'm confuse because I feel like you spoiled something without spoiling something at the same time. (Concerning your last couple of post)
Can I ask that you use spoiler tags for your future discussions for rank 10 links?
There's also a confidant thread and spoiler thread. I had this long post with not so nice things in it before I calmed down and realised what I wrote in my first paragraph.

Honestly I haven't played nearly enough to judge the game fully, but I can say that the running around doesn't feel perfect. Then again I don't really mind too much, as it is not a game that requires precision nearly as much as say Nier or Nioh. Comparing the controls and "game feel" of a hyper fast paced action RPG to a turn based one will usually make the latter's stick out a bit, I only hope it isn't too much to overlook for you, as that'd suck otherwise. The camera isn't perfect either, but I think it works well for the most part. I like it being behind the MC's back more often than in past Persona games, makes the world seem more expansive/immersive despite the horribly low resolution signs, lol.
Edit:
I'm always glad to see impressions such as these. I've only played about 2 hours and so don't have enough experience with the game to judge, but even the somewhat questionable phrases feel fine in the moment, the VA sells it. I still wish that Atlus JP didn't enforce incorrect pronunciations of Sakamoto, Shibuya and others, but considering dubs can often have those issues, I can overlook it. Prefer English over Japanese because the game doesn't subtitle everything, if they did I'd consider choosing Japanese for my first playthrough but I can't stand insufficient subtitling. Hopefully they can at least patch that it, as it'd be much easier than reworking some of the weirder lines.
