Okay. I've tried to avoid most of the pre-release stuff beyond the first trailer. So, uh, immediately after getting to the third dungeon, I can say that

Makoto

wins badass Persona user award of the game so far.

Spoiler

Yeah, people keep saying her persona awakening is an awesome scene... and it totally is.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Oh man, who is this sad looking quiet student in the first few days of school =[ I wanna give him a hug and have him join the team.

Tiny spoilers for the first hour or two

Spoiler

Does he become a named character? He's the one who you can ask where the roof is when Ryuji asks you to meet him up there.

Everyone who has a character portrait has a name.

 

[Weebos]

I assume there won't be any additional DLC for this game, especially since it has been out in Japan for awhile.

Atlus doesn't do a lot of substantial story DLC anyway.

end of palace 2 spoiler.

Spoiler

"should we let yusuke join?"
response "We have to many dudes"
Yusuke "should I wear a dress then?"

 

[pixxxelz]

You get it automatically, don't you? Morgana tells you about it and then you just walk to it and select it to train.

Is that HP training stuff even worth doing? Kinda been focusing on stats and social links instead.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

You almost wouldn't think a NPC could work like that in this game. It's hilarious.

Yeah, it really caught me off guard lol

 

[Raxus]

I'm in June and I haven't touched Mementos and I am still missing stuff. It is upsetting one of my social links is shut off completely at level 1.

Yeah her persona awakening scene was fucking badass. Shes by far the sharpest member of the team so far too.

Yosuke over Ryugi for me because Ryugi is too much after "fame" during main story. He nearly blew it up during the free time in Hawaii trip. I can't like him anymore. I know he can be nice and cool like Kanji but that was just too much for me. He needs too cool off, same as Mishima.
For other characters for me I like them equaly and don't prefer other over another but Morgana role as mascot has been more fleshed out this time.
Yusuke is my bro in this game. I love his S-link.

September Spoilders

Spoiler

I agree. I went with his route too just because I wanted to be a "bro" and didn't feel good leaving Mishima and he alone. Unsurprisingly, Yusuke saved the event by being himself. Yusuke has been a big surprise for me throughout this game.

Every other character has been great, too. Morgana definitely grew on me. I like Teddy a lot, but I think Morgana may be better. When he leaves the party, a part of me was really sad and just cemented my dislike for Ryuji even more. Every time Ryuji says something really hurtful to Morgana, I noticed it and it comes back when Morgana decides to leave. You can argue that Morgana also said mean things to Ryuji up until that point, but seriously, if anyone said it about Ryuji and it's real life...I'd be inclined to agree with everything Morgana has said. You don't want someone like Ryuji being on your team and slowing you down.

I'm so glad I went on blackout for this game because the first time hearing this in the heist made me grin so much.

It's an awesome song. Really catchy the first time I heard it, too, and every time afterwards.

So I just came to this realisation:
(End of Dungeon 4 Spoilers, also the most Dad of jokes):

Spoiler

Futaba's Shadow is depicted as an egyptian princess half wrapped up in bandages and the treasure (Futuba)'s location (Prior to her just showing up in her own palace) was a sarcophagus.

This is because.

And you will groan when you realise it.

Futaba has MUMMY issues.

I...I'll see myself out.

 

[Angry Grimace]

I didn't originally care for Yusuke at all, but his comical levels of obliviousness has grown on me.

Spoiler

I think he legit thought he could move into Ann's house. After earnestly trying to get her naked for his entire arc.

I like Ann too, but she does come off a bit like a combo of a lot of other characters from Persona.

It's adorable.

TBH, I've no idea. I just did it once, and got my HP went up 5 points. I guess that with a lot of focus there, I could be worth it, but at the expense of other stats or social links :/

I fell into one of the silliest spoiler rabbit holes because of one of the songs people posted in here :/

Try not to hype up endgame stuff please, stuff like youtube comments of even video descriptions can ruin the game for someone.

Theoretically, if you are going for a perfect run and intend to max out all your confidants, yes. Otherwise don't stress out.

Yes. That's how you get points towards the next rank up.

Yes. That's how you get points towards the next rank up.

can you get points another way?

Honestly just that alone frees up half the time you need to max links and still find time to work and dungeon dive.

I'm not far enough in to know, but he seems mostly just oblivious.

Then again, I thought the character arc with Kanji was crystal clear, but other people did not. PERSONA 4 -

Spoiler

It seemed beyond obvious to me that Kanji was straight but insecure in his masculinity (he expresses attraction to women all of the time in that game), but lots and lots of people still to this day believe he is gay. But I felt like his TV World was mostly reflected his turmoil over whether he was a "manly man."

I just wanted to drop in again to say how much I love this game. I haven't experienced a passion for turn based jrpgs like this for quite some time. I'm about 50 hours in, and will definitely be doing a second playthrough.

Yeah. I'd love that theme, but even having another track I like playing on the theme would be nice. Did anyone ever compile what track plays with which DLC theme?

Several of the customers do actually call him boss iirc.

Spoiler

so far I've observed that he got really flustered when Ann started taking off her clothes during the master infiltration plan, and during any of the animated scenes where the boys are perving on Ann he's included. Just really really into Art over people, maybe. Since Jun it's like they're afraid to commit.
