I changed my mind, she's kind of cute now. I think I know who I'm romancing after all this, heh heh. Assuming I can, that is.
Managed to get my Guts up to Staunch on the day before 6/5, so super good timing to start her SL.

So I've finally gotten sucked into a party based jrpg. I'm usually pretty hopeless when it comes to figuring out jrpg battle systems and general idiosyncrasies. Thankfully, Atlus has done a great job of teaching mechanics and I'm glad a took a shot on this game. From the get go this game is dark as fuck. I was legit shook when
which is were I wrapped up my playing tonight.

I just noticed they're still using honorifics, but they also call teachers Mr. and Mrs. Hmmm.

Personas are automatically registered when you capture them. You only need to manually register them if you want to save the progress on your Persona after you've gained a few levels or got new skills on it.
thankfully, i was able to take those guys out before they had a chance to explode, haha
i just hate enemy-rush style boss fights in games. i mean, it does make sense for this boss thematically, but still. if they had maybe allowed all-out attacks and/or reduced the number of robot waves it would've been a little more enjoyable

I love hard mode, one false move and a fucking orthus one shots your team into oblivion, no mistakes, even from common mobs

Is anyone else getting Rohan Kishibe vibes from Yusuke or is it just me?
Been making some slow progress in dungeon 3. Mobs are all manageable but I'm wasting way too much SP, so believe me, next time I definitely won't wait till I have 5 days left.
Made it to the basement but I think I'll have to retreat. Oh well. The mini bosses have been fun!
It's a wild ride yeah, I love it.
But Yusuke is an upstanding citizen.

Orthus can suck a bifurcated dick. I kept trying to negotiate with it and get him and 4 fucking times I answered all his questions right and then he goes "Well fuck you" and breaks out of the negotiation and attacks me three times in a row.
That's some Grade A Bullshit
He wishes he could be as cool as him.
But now that you've brought it up, I guess I kinda see it, namely due to how he initially didn't give a shit about Ryuji and the MC.

I know it was the same in Persona 4, and for some reason I didn't really mind it back then, but God some of the time consuming stuff in this game are really stupid. You honestly want me to believe that swinging a bat for a couple of minutes takes and entire evening? Like, I can't even go to the clinic that is right across the street before the sun sets down? Come on.
After 45 hours. Just wanted to say that I love premise of the game, it oozes coolness. I like how the police and everyone is after the phantom thieves. It makes the story have real stakes, in P3 what you did was mostly confined to the dark hour and tartarus, and in P4 since it was about preventing murders no one really questioned or took notice about what the crew was doing.
But in p5 having a high profile criminals suddenly do a 180 and confess crimes attracts attention so it feels like what I'm doing actually impacts the real world in the game. Plus the games excels at making the bad guys people you actually hate. I mean, really, who didnt want to bring down Kamoshida?
The wait was unbearable, but it was well worth the wait. It's the best jrpg I've played since SMT3. Could be up there with Valkarie Profile 1, Chrono Trigger and SMT3 (which IMO are the best jrpgs of all time) when it's all said and done.

I literally became terrified of negotiating with him, could not risk him unleashing that fire on me.

Honestly, the confidant stuff and part-time jobs make sense, cause often it seems like they are taking a good chunk of MC's time. But for stuff like batting, making lock-picks, doing a few push-ups, etc, it just makes no sense. It's like the game just keeps on reminding you that you are playing a video-game. "Nah, only two activities per day."
I've played Persona 4, so I know. It still stupid that something like batting center would take the same amount of time as doing a part time job.
Ok, thanks !
lol @ Yusuke's Rank 5, good stuff.
It was good but I was busy being annoyed at both Morgana and Ryuji.

Eh that boss battle is amazing.
The start is awesome cause it's just constant baton passing and switching party members.
For the finale make use of your aoe defence buffs, lucky punches,rising slashes and

Question about the Fourth Palace:
Is there anything forcing you to go back to the real world? I think I'm at the last set of puzzle rooms, the "Corridor Submit", but my party is running out of juice and I've blown a lot of revival items from those fucking Anubis' Hama spells (=_=#) So I would like to call it a day.
Sweet, my biggest throws were from one of Mementos boss around $11,000. Level C. What level is that 50k throw
Edit: Also manage to confess to

So, are you suggesting that they give you additional time to go shopping after doing a time consuming event in the evening? That would just require more button presses to get to bed 90% of the time. Or arbitrarily limit the game to activities that would reasonably take that amount of time? It's silly, but the alternatives would just be equally dumb.
Why is this a bad thing? "Immersion"?

Cause it's not a good way to balance it. They should nerf their effects and instead let me do them more.

You'll still have to go back to the real world before the last boss.

So, picked this up a few hours ago and finally got to the part where I get my Stand.
Damn son, now THAT certainly had some impact to it that the last four games didn't. Nice to see that Atlus really went places with this game's budget.
1. Is this game running at 60FPS? There's no clear consensus on whether it is or not.
2. Though one thing - Movement feels rather floaty and janky compared to 3 and 4. Anyone else feel this too? Kinda feels awkward and disorienting navigating around places.

They're balanced poorly? Why is making infiltration items or getting stat boosts from batting any different from anything else you might do? And I thought before you were arguing the realistic passage of time was the issue. Now it's the rewards balancing?
Who's contributing to this consensus? Because I'm pretty sure most everyone knows it's a consistent 30.

I'm finding Ryuji more annoying during these scens. He is just getting more annoying by the day
so you want to get the same effect but with more button presses. k

It's impossible to hate Yusuke. If you don't like him you're a fake person, some sort of figment of the collective unconscious.

No, not just shopping. Like, if a movie theater is nearby then let me watch a movie after swinging a bat for 5 minutes. Or let me go to spa. Or do some push-ups. Some of these activities should not take a full chunk of your day. S-Links, part time jobs, studying and Metaverse, make complete sense. Other activities need some rebalancing.
I don't know about others, but I find it frustrating when a game does something with the sole excuse of being a "video game". If it doesn't make sense withing the world and rules of the game that devs themselves have created, then it's not good and they have to reconsider it. The sim parts of Persona are supposed to be realistic. Spending an entire evening with friends is believable. Swinging a bat and then saying "oh it's late, I have to get home", isn't
I love him, he is my bro (^O^)v
Ehh, I found the 2nd boss easy, so I hope that's not the case lol

It is about passage of time. Someone said that if they make them less time consuming then that will affect the game's balance, so that's why I said they need to nerf them or something.
Otherwise I'm talking about passage of time, yes.

So, let me get this straight. You want rewards and passage of time to get close to being 1 to 1 with its realistic equivalents. If you watched a movie for three hours and got three points of guts, your evening would then be over. Alternatively, you could go batting for an hour, get one point in proficiency, and then have another two hours to do things. Is this correct?
Son Of Sparda

Not necessarily 1 to 1, but yes you get the gist of it.

If it makes you feel better, I thought the 3rd Palace in general had harder enemies than the 2nd Palace.
I was basically out of SP healing items and most of my characters were out of SP by the time I reached the Treasure lol

OK. Well, getting into the nitty gritty of time management could be cool, but Persona 5 is loooong as fuck. Doing at minimum two time consuming activities a day, which is already in addition to probably a non-time consuming activity, already takes a lot of clicking around. Too much of it could distract from the main game and get boring.
Maybe if the game was half as long it could be cool to get in the weeds with that kind of stuff. But I really don't see the problem with going, "batting cages? Yeah, you spent the whole evening there."
