For Persona confidant boost do you need to have them equipped or just in your active roster?

 

[demosthenes]

Did I see people saying you don't really need a persona to lvl Sun up?

In your roster. It'll give you a message mentioning the corresponding persona when you decide to spend time with them

 

[kagamin]

Did I see people saying you don't really need a persona to lvl Sun up?

Yeah, you get levels in Sun and Moon at an even rate, so your choices in conversations don't matter and neither does having a persona of the same arcana.

 

[pablito]

Did I see people saying you don't really need a persona to lvl Sun up?

Correct, and your answers don't matter either.

Confidant mechanics spoilers

Moon is the same way IIRC

 

[Kid Ska]

I honestly want to romance every one of these girls. They're all great. Don't make me choose.

 

[Salaadin]

I love Makoto. Thinking about replacing Ryuuji with her

 

[HMD]

So in order to fully max all confidants in my first playthrough I'll need to abuse Fortune's luck readings correct?

 

[kadotsu]

I love the "Make the game more like FFX" confidant.

 

[Zafir]

No. I mean Futaba and Mishima won't hang out with you at all while the mission is ongoing for whatever reason. Possibly others too

That's not entirely correct.

I'm at

Spoiler

Shido's dungeon but haven't gone in to finish it

, and I could get up Futaba's. Mishima may be correct, I haven't seen him listed at all any where on the map. However, I already had him maxed.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

I'm mid-June and it feels like the game has finally opened up. Now this is the Persona that I fell in love with.

 

[Nameless]

I've been playing RPGs for a damn long time and don't think I've ever been crippled with indecision like this before. What to buy, who to hang out with, when to do this, how to do that. Arrrgghh.

 

[Rhaknar]

When it says the bond wint deepen just yet I should still do it right, it just means it wont rank up?

 

[Totakeke]

No. I mean Futaba and Mishima won't hang out with you at all while the mission is ongoing for whatever reason. Possibly others too

Nah.

Spoiler

There's a lockout mechanism around some palaces but you can definitely max those before his palace.

 

[Valkyri von Thanatos]

Spoiler

Do the beef bowl job 2 times to get his social link started.

Spoiler

Later in the story Sojiro will let you explore the city at night. Then you will have to work part-time at the Beef Bowl restaurant at leas two times before you can help him with his speeches.

Sun Arcana Path

Spoiler

Yoshida's path is a difficult one. I accidentally got him by starting a part-time job at the Beef Bowl fast food place. He comes in as a customer the first night I worked. Then you meet him again at the square and you start his path. In order to work at the Beef Bowl place, you need to go to the Shibuya Underground Walkway area (fast travel there), and then read one of the news papers on the racks against the wall to choose the part-time job.

Guide for Confidant/Social Links

Just keep playing he'll give you permission eventually, you can go after

Spoiler

he give you the keys to the store.

Spoiler

for this specific one you'll have to wait until you get access to going out at night from Sojiro. I think it's in a few more days.

Alright thanks for the help everyone. Totally weird how

Spoiler

the way he talks about his speech makes it seem like you should be able to show up that very night

, but that's no big deal. I can already sense I will not like how much

Spoiler

Morgana restricts

activities, but that settles down with time, right? The game is great regardless, had to finish at 3:30am last "night". I wish I could play it instead of studying, oh well.

Mathematically, I don't know that you need to, but it certainly doesn't hurt.

 

[Totakeke]

The guide on gamefaqs doesn't use it at all. So no.

 

[Ydelnae]

Persona 5 has taught me to go to sleep early to be mentally prepared for events that will take place next week.

 

[mike6467]

Money is extremely easy to get, just "Confuse" Memento bosses for infinite money.

I can't bring myself to do this. I know it doesn't make the game a complete cakewalk, but it's like running into a corner in Elder Scrolls and taping down the key to max out your athletics. Yeah, you can do it, but come on

 

[StoneFox]

When it says the bond wint deepen just yet I should still do it right, it just means it wont rank up?

If you can't think of anything else to get done that day, then do it. It will boost your points towards a rank up. Usually one or two runs of these "hang out times" will equal a rank up.

fucked me up.

 

[TimeEffect]

About to try this game briefly from a friend

Assuming I wont have enough time to love it. But Im hoping I can play enough to want it

 

[FantasyFreak07]

If someone could clarify an aspect about the Hierophant confidant for me that would be fantastic.

Spoiler

Is it rank 3 to 4 or rank 4 to 5 that cannot be advanced until Futaba joins the group?

 

[Toki767]

Reached the treasure of the 4th Palace.

These palaces are starting to get longer and longer huh lol

Rank 4 to 5. It's only available after 8/22

You have something to do tomorrow afternoon, don't you think you should go to bed early to be well rested for a long day of apparently doing nothing until then? :3

 

[Rhaknar]

Coffee at the diner only gives 1 point in Guts :/

Is there no faster way? Stressing out over all these things I need to raise and they go so slowly and you can only do one per day.

The burger challenge at Big Bang Burger at night gives more. Not sure if 2 or 3.

The length varies, it took me the longest to get through the 4th one, and I'm doing all of the palaces in the fewest amount of days possible, I was literally empty on TP on several of my characters when I secured my route for that one.

I've done all the Palaces in one go so far. The 4th Palace took me like

Spoiler

2-3 hours

to reach the treasure though.

The SP Invigorate 3 accessory has made getting through the 4th Palace a breeze where as when I didn't have it for the 3rd Palace, I was at 0 SP for all of my characters by the end.

Bigbang burger challenge gives more I think. Just checked, failing the first challenge gives +1 guts, but failing the second and higher challenges grants more.
Reading books and watching DVDs (be really careful of those rental fees).
There's a video game that gives +2 guts each time as well.

 

[Rhaknar]

I cant go to shibuya at night tho

The bar you can work at gives quite a few points if you talk to the scary looking guy, apparently.

 

[silva1991]

Ugh

To grind for 2 hours or more, or pay 200K(or much more) to make Personas higher than my level

Decisions, decisions .

 

[demosthenes]

How many mementos missions do you normally do at a time? I have 2 and just cleared the 2nd palace.

 

[Rhaknar]

Oh the movie theater gave me 3 points in guts which ranked me up woot

 

[klabautermann]

Persona 5 taught me I have synesthesia. Didn't know there was a label for it, but I write music and I associate notes with color. Kinda neat.

 

[AtomskEater]

I think you can do it during the day, it just costs 1200 yen instead of 500. If you're early on in the game before you can roam at night you may not be not skilled up enough to pass the first challenge, though.

Really? That's cool, I've always wondered what it would be like to have synesthesia.
A lot of the trivia during classes is actually pretty interesting, and of course now I want to read stuff like Goemon and the Arsene Lupin books

I mean...when you consider that your MC's level means nothing if you have that ability, it seems like a no brainer if you have the cash.

 

[Zolo]

How many mementos missions do you normally do at a time? I have 2 and just cleared the 2nd palace.

I didn't do one before Makoto's dungeon, and I felt pretty underleveled for the fights where Makoto awakens her persona.

 

[Opa-Pa]

Ah haven't made it too far yet then. You could rent a DVD if you have the TV and/or buy a book that raises guts. Otherwise just focus on progressing first until you can go out to Shibuya at night.

 

[OniBarubary]

*confuse a Mementos boss*

Alright, let's see how much it-

*it drops 80,000 Yen*

*steeples fingers in front of face*

Hrmmm.

Time management wise it makes no difference if you go now or later.

One request only pops once you have done a previous request.

[silva1991]

I mean...when you consider that your MC's level means nothing if you have that ability, it seems like a no brainer if you have the cash.

Not only making those personas cost alot of money, but also the many personas I will be summoning to create them.

I might end up paying over 500K when all said and done.

 

[Pejo]

How do you get jobs in this game? I got a notice that I should get one from the cat, but I never found out how to actually do it.
