A couple of questions about the first dungeon and time management:
In the EU steelbook version the "Only on Playstation" tag is on the box
I've finally reached the point where you are able to decide how to spend your time, and I was wondering how you guys deal with dungeons. I just reached the third floor of the first Palace, only have between 20-40% SP remaining for each character, and they just mentioned that they are starting to feel tired. Should I call it a day and go back to real world to recover and buy new items and stuff?
And as a general rule, when do you decide it's time to leave the dungeon to take a break?

Speaking of confidants and optimal dungeon clearing, there's also the

Cool. I'd rather not use any guides ect. for my first playtrough.
I basically kept powering through, and was occasionally met with a game over during the first two dungeons. Never took a break unless the dungeon had a barrier/block that can only be removed through story progression/backing out of the dungeon until the next day/event.
There's a
midboss
The next dungeon is structured in such a way that you don't have to worry about SP that much and the ones after that you probably have more SP recovery options (don't neglect *Arcana*

1) ugh I was hoping the schedule wasn't too strict
2) Wait so no reward from the teacher or whatever? Just increases your charm?
Alright another question. What are the best elemental personas to go for early on

UK (so yeh Europe for now) pre-loads went live today. JP audio patch doesn't see to be live yet though.
It just cuts your gold and exp gain and there might be a crit multiplier not sure (but if you get critted on hard you're pretty much dead anyway, at least early on). I don't think it's worth bothering with.
1) I might have done things the wrong way and inefficiently, but according to the guide after maxing the Confidants
they only had less than 20 days until the game's end. A lot of those remaining days are filled with story events that also restrict your free time.
2) I really don't remember anything regarding exams, truly sorry. It's been a few months since I finished the game and on my current new playthrough I'm only up to July.
As for your other question, between your starting party members you'll have
Darkness, Fire, Wind, and Electric
Ice
Jack Frost
Yusuke would've probably joined
You'd also need
Nuclear
the second and third
Makami
Damn, wish I had checked its skills! I kept seeing it in the fusion page, but never thought to fuse it since the Persona I had to fuse it were the ones I need for some Confidants I was doing.
Alright, feel better about it then, thanks.
I never noticed how vital it was till my restricted NG+ hard playthrough of the first dungeon. It actually made a decent chunk of it easier than the first playthrough. Those knights are a lot less threatening when a few sp sends them packing.

I'm already having a mental crisis, mine's coming in on the 6th.
Awesome, thank you guys! I think I'll keep pushing a bit then
Regarding Ice Personas,
you can also find Silky (the maiden-resembling one) in the first dungeon
they don't understand what persona means to us. think they can just delay and its fine. boy are they wrong
Oh yeah she might be a level below the other one I mentioned so I think she's the earliest user.
I've made a huge mistake.......
Regarding fusion tutorial :
Help me
Regarding fusion tutorial :
So the velvet room tutorial was forced on me and the only persona i could fuse was Arsene -_- So i lost him. Can I get him back or do I have to reload my save ? And even if I do, how am I supposed to get another persona since going into the dungeon triggers the fusion tutorial -_- .
Help me
There's a compendium you can haul any persona out of for a fee. It's a series staple.

Haven't played the game yet, but you should have the compendium option right? It'll cost money, but you can resummon him (Though if he was never registered he'll be back at his starting level (so level 1)
That said you were probably going to fuse him at some point anyways

I get the impression this post is going to pop up a lot in this OT.
Yeah, that's scripted to happen. That's why there's a specific cutscene for it.
It's to drill home the idea that your starter Persona is useless and the way to get through the game is not to get attached to Personas.
If you really do want him back, you can summon him from the Compendium.

Oh ok thanks. I was getting angry because he was the best of my personas, to add insult to injury.
Wow really.
Ok I was doing the opposite. I blame Persona4 Arena for making me think default Personas are the big deal.

I actually had a choice because I
caught a persona after getting pixie, probably pyro jack or something. Needless to say I was pretty confused when I actually did fuse Arsenne and that shit started playing all of a sudden

Plural of Persona is Personae.
I hated reading "Personas" in P4G

Arsene is useless? but his design is so awesome. How can the main protagonist's persona be useless?

Personas become vastly harder to level as you get them away from their base level. Leveling a persona that came from level 10 to level 11 is going to be many, many times easier than leveling a starting level 1 persona from 10 to 11. And since they also stop learning new skills pretty quickly, most persona hit a ceiling pretty damn quickly. Some have really optimized stats that can make them worth using a bit longer than you might otherwise, but generally you'll want to trade up quite a bitOh ok thanks.

Maybe you'll get P4 & possible P5 spoiler
some god version of that Persona like Izanagi no Okami in P4

He's probably one of the weaker MC persona if I remember right. Doesn't it have like two natural weaknesses? I think Izanagi only had one.
Eventually *persona viability*
every persona is viable but the costs of making that happen are pretty exorbitant all things considered.

If you live near an amazon fulfillment center, it'll ship tonight or early tomorrow.
I live in Indianapolis and there's a fulfillment center in Lexington, KY (I think that's the right city). Amazon has never made a preorder late for me. Literally the only time I've ever had a preorder arrive late was Final Fantasy XV and that's because UPS forgot to put it on a truck after it arrived in my city.

It cost about 2K to get him back, i did because i like his design, although he reverted the lvl 1 so he's not actually useful anymore.
Do the Persona designs get more interesting as you go on? As of yet they've all been pretty standard. Fairy, Imp, Knight etc.

Your starter persona is always garbage.

Persona as an SMT spinoff, uses demons, which as you get higher level become more unique and notable. So yeah low levels are generally generic mythological creatures whereas higher levels become more famous mythological creatures or things like gods

Once you get into the higher levels you definitely start seeing some weirder looking Personas. But the starter Personas and the party members Personas are always the most unique looking.
The reason is that you're meant to replace them with better Personas as you level, you'll constantly be switching through Personas for most of the game. That's not to say that you can't use the starter Persona through the whole game, you just have to put in more work to make it viable.

Why am I not surprised that someone brings up Mara lol.
I would've done it too if I was sure Mara is an obtainable Persona. He probably is, but don't want to check
