man should I sell this one Soma I have? 50k is ridiculous for how little money I have right now, I can equip my whole party with good stuff with that.

for reference, im about 5 and half hours in, I just got

Ann and im in the wepon shop for the first time

[Weiss]

I don't care what the benefits are I'm never doing it. More time for

Spoiler

Hifumi

.

She's one of the most useful confidants in the game.

Money is no object in this game trust me.

 

[mike6467]

maybe spoiler tag that? anyway yeah I found him, forgot that it needed to be evening first.

For anyone that can't find him there, he will move to

Spoiler

Shinjuku

once it opens up. Took me awhile to find him after I ignored that link for most of June.

And I'm still not sure how people hate Ryuji, he's like the heart of the group. Amazing guy.

He reminds me of a combination of Yosuke and Kenji from P4. I started out liking him just fine until some of his costly mistakes which he didn't seem to learn from at all.

Spoiler

You mean me being loud and obnoxious about really sensitive info almost destroyed our lives and everything we've worked for? Yeah, I guess so...*continues being loud and obnoxious about really sensitive info*

I do like the direction his S Link is going though.

 

[psynergylover]

Yes x 2.

UGH!!!!! At least i only have to get ¥50,000 more....

 

[Jiraiza]

Yusukes first interaction with Futaba lmao...

Man, 6/11 and I'm absolutely loving the chemistry between the characters in the cast, social links aside. This is how group dynamics should be handled in any JRPG. Looking forward to the other characters since Yusuke added an even weirder dynamic to the group.

Spoiler

The heart to heart talk about their past is amazing in the MC's room.

This is the kind of stuff you don't see in a game and it's awesome.

P5 >>>>> P4

[Alucrid]

asking this again to see if anyone can answer

dunno, but it's honestly not worth your time to go out of your way to do so. you can just fuse them all anyways.

When

Spoiler

Ryuji starts talking about his mom there it really got to me honestly. The whole scene stuck with me because it was just a nice conversation between friends and not some forced "event" trying to be funny and memorable. Really fantastic group dynamics there.

The 2nd palace is a minimum of 4 days?! What the hell atlus.

Is there anywhere I can see a weather forecast?

Just saw this, amazing.

 

[Chaos17]

Tokyo has so many hangouts spot you can find in magazines for locals, I'm a little jealous.

 

[vall03]

Ugh, I'm really really tempted to go Safety just for the Gold Bonus but the fact that you can't change difficulties afterwards is kinda annoying. Do we have the P4G difficulty slider for NG+? I just want bonus money without drastically affecting the game's difficulty.

 

[silva1991]

Does Trumpeter have debilitate in this game too?

 

[Hung_real]

Im a shape shifter, atlus masquerade

You will never see it COMINGGGGGGGGG

Yeah this is "I neva felt like do do do do " all over again

I love it

 

[brandonh83]

Items that have descriptions that say sell for a ton, are those okay to sell or will they be important for anything? Always ask this when playing a new RPG because you never know lol

Yeah, definitely. Games typically never have this kind of downtime for characters to interact. Really gets you attached to them.

Spoiler

Sojiro and Yusuke's talk was also very good.

Spoiler

Nahhh.

You'll find quite a bit of loot to sell in the dungeons. But, I'm the guy who keeps everybody elixer and then never uses them in an RPG.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Where can I find Ann to hang with during the first palace?

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

For anyone in Europe, the The art of Persona 5 artbook is only €26,42 atm. Do we know if this is the same one that Japan got?

Edit: $24 dollars on amazon.com.

 

[gbpackers25]

I don't think you can during the first palace.

Spoiler

She's busy during the entire time

 

[aravuus]

Wow, fuck everyone involved with Temperance's SLink events.

So many little shits in this game.

Is something like

Spoiler

suing the board of education over an accident

like that even plausible? The fact that it's so nonsensical to me makes it even more infuriating lol

 

[Domstercool]

They fall into the treasure category at the airsoft store and are meant to be sold.

The bonding is less good in this game than P4 and 3 so far for me. Most party threat yusuje and Futaba like they're "special" just because of their hobbies. I mean personally, the Futaba

is too forced.

You won't be able to talk until you beat the palace and the remaining time goes by....it sucks

Works for me! Just like to be sure.

 

[Curufinwe]

It is so much easier to ambush shadows that it was to hit them from behind in P3 and P4.

But I think I'm not gonna be able to beat the first dungeon on my first go. Almost out of SP after getting the key.

Got it. Do you guys think I should sell my only Soma? 50k yen early on seems suspicious as hell but I could really use it.

That's what I did.

School trip was certainly a thing. Oh Mishima you dork. I love how awkward he is.

9/15 spoilers/speculation

Spoiler

Man im getting a serious vibe that Ryuji is the traitor. He's taking this shit way, way too seriously atm. Its all gone to his head. No chance Akechi sells out the group, that's way too obvious.

Yeah I'm a bit surprised I've seen so many complaints about cheap ambushes from shadows when the game is clearly designed to let you ambush virtually every enemy in it. It's the reason enemies can kill you so easily actually, you're not supposed to even allow them to attack.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Save your Soma. Money comes hard and fast in this game once you get a bit further along.

But sp lvl 3 accessory though.

 

[Megawarrior]

Are knowledge points in the shibuya diner random like the proficiency points when you craft? I usually get 3 points for knowledge but only getting 2. It's also raining on this particular day.

 

[Hoo-doo]

But sp lvl 3 accessory though.

Bought it no problem without selling my Soma. It's not like your entire party needs these, that'd almost feel like cheating really.

But there's really no right or wrong choice here either way. Dungeon crawling makes money like crazy.

How do I use spell cards?

You'll find out later. Don't worry about them just yet.

 

[Weiss]

How do I use spell cards?

 

[Opa-Pa]

How do I use spell cards?

Once the game introduces them to you, just press R1 in the items menu and use them as regular consumables to give the skills to your personas.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Ann rank 4 spoilers
Lol, she wants to become

Spoiler

an actress

? Good luck with that!

 

[AngryMoth]

General advice, if I manage my time well is it possible to max at all the social links and get decent social stats or should I be min-maxing them?

Also is there no way to check how close you are to ranking up social stats? It's kind of annoying not knowing

 

[silva1991]

From the menu >>> items

 

[Chaos17]

Beginning chapter 5:

Spoiler

for the live if God, Ryugi and Mishima should shut up about fame!! They're in Hawaii just enjoy damn it

 

[Laughing Banana]

Is it just me oooor the game kinda somewhat nudge you towards Makoto as the 'canon' girlfriend for the MC? I am now in

Hawaii

and the way it was set up seemed to indicate that.

Hrmmmm.

Yeah I kinda got that feeling too, which helps since she's easily the best character in the game.

As in the time where you have a spare afternoon to hang with someone? It can be different people depending your confidant rank.

 

[reelbigtink]

So I'm having a tough time. About to face the first boss and all, and should I spend most of my cash on healing items/new weapons or do dungeons regularly provide those?

Also do I sell the treasures I find? I can't believe how dumb this game is making me feel.

 

[AlphaDragoon]

The party dynamic is really good in this, like other people have been saying. You get some really nice character building moments. It's BS that they seemingly don't acknowledge if

Spoiler

your character is in a relationship with one of the main ​girls. I'm with Ann and the beach scene was goofy as hell because they were saying the guys had no game when she's my girlfriend lol

. Seems super half baked considering

Spoiler

it's a main feature of the game

Sell treasures at the airsoft store.

 

[psynergylover]

Yes, by the time this item is really necessary, you'll already have a great amount of healers, only just completed the 3rd dungeon and 3 out the 5 allies all have healing skills, and the MC can also be a healer as well.

Use it to by the best weapon and armor for your characters.
