Honestly I've just been lucky that no enemies use those instant kills on my MC... He always seems to die to a lucky critical hit and then the enemy following it up by hitting the protagonist against with a heavy attack.

More importantly IIRC in the previous games if they weren't going to let you do anything at night they just skipped right to the next day rather than give you an opportunity to walk around and be constantly told that you can't do anything except go to bed.

Lol, I got your joke and my answer wasn't meant to be taken seriously either. Let's just agree to disagree =)
Yup...
I always have the hope that, this night, I will be able to go out..! And then my hopes are dashed quickly away. Every time.
What you are saying is only true for enemies that you have already fought though, for new enemies whose attacks you don't know (like that Mementos boss the dude was talking about) you can't really match your persona to negate their damage before you actually know what kind of attacks they have. And the only way to know their strength and weakness is by fighting them but if the fight is over in the first move itself made by the enemy then how was he suppose to switch to a persona to negate it? That's the BS he was talking about.
Regardless of all that, game over because MC dies should not have been a thing.

Ha ha touché. My nom de Gaf comes from a very different source though.

Oh shit, maybe I hate Ryuji because... he's me! Looking too deep into the mirror....
Morgana teach well the ropes, isn't dumb, do not crave for fame, always have good advices. I don't know why you shit on him, is it because of Ryugi that you favor ? Ryugi need to be calmed down a lot and all the party members do keep him in check, Morgana isn't different from them.
And 8 am a dog person so I do not like just because he's a cat. That so stupid to think that way.

Dungeon 3:
That'll learn me. Might have to space this one out a bit more than usual.
kept pushing on despite the shortcuts back to the one(!?) safe room and the mini-boss wiped me in one turn.

I remember Digital Devil Saga or SMT Nocturne having way more BS insta-kill mechanics than this game.
Regarding lockpicks....eventually you will be able to craft (past Dungeon 4 and certain story point)
As for doing more at night after a dungeon run..that's what the
confidant is known for being broken for. At a certain level, you can pretty much request for a (confidant perk)
and you are all good to go to do some more stuff at night
the eternal lockpick (or whatever it is called in the game) which doesn't consume usage. Requires advanced tools perk from Morgana's SL (and you need to farm a bit of materials from the Anubis enemies)

Yep, was the same in P4. ALthough there it was just the MC himself who thought "let's go to bed early today".

Do these items crafted get carried to new game plus. I'm near end game but might be worth investing time before I wrap my first playthrough.
And have to say I was disapponted on haru persona design. Was not a fan at all.

I wondered about that. But it looks way more like cowboy or punkish motor affectation than
a limp.
Agreed! Now if they'd just done an equally good job with the music down there...
I wished the Mementos soundtrack was better though. It's pretty dull listening to the same boring theme over and over. If only Persona 5 got a jukebox function...
To make up for it I often go around
crashing Morgana into the wall and such, to hear the soundtrack punctured with random yelps of meoww!!! The attention to animation details are great too, Morgana's tail stand on end due to the shock if you should do so
Oh wow. A lot more than I expected.
If you played on normal should you play on Hard then for NG+?
If you level the Nurse social link up to Level 5, she sells 3 SP accessories that restore SP upon that characters turn. You can get it pretty early on if you focus on her. If you level her up to 7 you can then buy the Level 3 SP accessory for 50k per.
Equipment for everyone or just the player character. Like when Makoto joins the party will she join with the endgame gear I had equipped on her?
Social link with Tae Takemi (the doctor), it unlocks at a fairly early rank but the good one costs 100k yen, if you rank up Tae a bit more you can get it down to 50k yen, which is fairly reasonable. I bought 4 of them just before the third dungeon and it made it so I never had to leave unless I hit a story roadblock that forces you to leave.

you can get it from the clinic after ranking up the death confidant
Yes.
How to get it:
Keep upping your death confidant rank and she'll start selling accessories that regen your SP. Once you get her up to rank 7 you'll be able to get them for half price.
Is that the one you can buy from Takemi at some point?
Yea. I can barely remember the music. Kinda weird that every location in the game has such a great track except for an area where you could easily spend hours grinding. It's also my least favorite looking area. Pretty drab. Not sure why they didn't make it look more pleasing either. They could've had some fun with the designs there.
Thanks! Been avoiding spoilers so I was wary about searching this stuff.
Ah, I may have misunderstood this in P4G - can you summon Personas from the compendium even if they're of much higher level? I thought you were still limited to your level.

Yeah, work on the
Death Arcana confidant with the crazy doctor near the café.
The UI makes exploring mementos really annoying at times, the nature of mementos is such that most of the stuff that you need to be looking at are on the top half of the screen which is cluttered with large UIs. And you can barely see stuff when in there.
The game REALLY should have had an option to get rid of the mission objective and "days left" thing on the top right side of the screen, I would have also liked to get rid of the translucent vigenette like effects used for showing detection level.
All in all the UI is great and flashy but it clutters the screen way too much at times.

So I've been grinding for a few hours in Mementos trying to nab a particular Persona. Decided to go make myself some breakfast/coffee (you see where this is going...). I'm pouring some hot sauce on my meal and I hear battle sounds. Oh hey, it's probably a random Regent that jumped my team or something! Free XP. So I went and checked...
As long as you summon a Persona it will be in your compendium. Think of it as a record log. You can recall from it as long as you got the proper amount of money.
MC's level only counts towards if you are trying to fuse a new Persona

They warned you.
It's off to chance because it's RNG behind RNG behind RNG. First you need the boss to be vulnerable to co fuse, second you need confuse to stick and thirdly you need him to actually throw money and not just stand there or throw shitty items at you.
Would take too much time.

Wait does it come after you if you stay on one specific floor for too long or if you just stay in Mementos for too long?
Well damn, that would have made NG+ a lot easier if I'd understood.

it's on any floor you stay on too long for. Resets on a new floor.

Floor. I do usually 12 floors at any given time and haven't came across it.

So... How hard was it?
I kind of want to check out if I stand a chance against it right now (lvl 28, on easy).

If you end up dating ann there's a mechanic where he now doesn't allow you to escape the room any day.
Welcome to the 9th Circle of hell.
If Morgana was a dog he'd be all "go to sleep dawg"
And you'd be all "you wanna go for a walk?"
And then he'd be all "shiiiiiit baby you know i can't say no to that"

The saving grace is how easy it is to jump in and knock out a handful of requests in one go. I just go once in between story dungeons and level up, get more cash, and usually some good items and Personas and it's relatively painless. But I have no desire to spend much time in there.
