Is there a confidant skill that tells you the opponent's full affinity like Rise's max rank skill in P4?

A question regarding the final dungeon in the game:

Spoiler

I found the cleaner, killed him and now I'm confronted by Akechi without my party pretty much low on health and sp. I managed to beat white Akechi, but the black one is destroying me now. Did I overlook a way to save after the cleaner?

Nope.

 

[Dangansona]

Ok, have to say the asking students questions in the middle is June section is lame since whenever you get the answer someone texts you and is like "hey any luck? Well here's what I found out which is what you deduced with Morgana 10 seconds ago."

 

[Iva Demilcol]

Polydeuces to Caesar was like night and day.

Io was better than Isis, though, but yeah, P3's evolved personas were pretty awesome.

Also Thanatos is one of the best Personas ever made.

No, that's how you're supposed do that part.

 

[Gala]

Nope.

Time to stock up on items! I kinda love the game for this

Please please pretty please use a format of the palace number or a fixed date followed by spoiler tagging whatever happens at that time or in that dungeon.

Palace 3

Spoiler

wow can't believe Morgana like sushi

4/1

April fools

It might not seem big but it helps keep these things as surprises for people who are not yet that far along.

That

bit (Palace 5) was not well VA'ed.

 

[ASilentProtagonist]

At hour 60, Ryuji's gotten so bad that I'm starting to hope he has a palace so I can shut his selfish, stupid ass up.

The funny thing is that he started out being very likeable. His childish antics just gets more grating since everyone else expect him matures/develops over the course of the game.

Palace 5 sucks.

 

[Iva Demilcol]

Confession time: I actually liked Palace 5

Is there any significance to the blocks in people's names?

How do I do the Money Grubbing Uncle request? I'm down in Momentos but its not showing up. I know Futaba wanted to go alone but I'm not sure how to trigger it.

Talk to her outside of Leblanc.

Oh whaaaat (post 4th palace)

Futaba doesn't actually fight?

[hipsterpants]

The music that gets played during Confidant rank 10s is perfect.

 

[ryechu]

Uh this one dungeon

Spoiler

Okumura's Palace

is irredeemable now, just keeps getting worse

"You got X seconds to make a run for this thing"
*Makes a run for it and gets ambushed*
*Enemy chain combos me to death before my turn even begins*

Lost like 30 mins of play time because of this stupid shit and lost it to low level enemies nonetheless. Could not have seen this coming.

Thanks for the warning, ill craft one of those stealth items.

Every Persona game since 3 has had a dedicated navigatior party member.

 

[AlphaDragoon]

The music in the 4th Palace is on some god-tier SNES/PS1 JRPG level of goodness.

It's so fucking good.

 

[klabautermann]

How the fuck do they get such great soundtracks in these games? Everything since 3 has had practically iconic music for everything.

Because Shoji Meguro is god. Also hey man, P1 and P2 have great music, too.

Speaking on music, the confidant music reminds me of some Strange Journey shit. Love it.

 

[OrionX]

Ugh. That's the second time I've left the game idling in Mementos and forgot to pause, only to come back and find my party getting screwed by

[TheMrPliskin]

I really didn't miss mementos. At least I can catch up on podcasts to avoid listening to the music.

after Futaba joins I feel so bad for Morgana feeling useless and depressed and redundant. Like his spot has been taken and he can't even be friends with everyone normally since he's a cat

Glad I'm not alone. IDK what happened here. Palaces 1-4 were all great and then the quality of this one just took a huge nose dive. It's like they decide to make the most annoying/time consuming/un fun gameplay mechanics they could find and roll up into one.

Not to mention the music, aesthetic, and plot line of it is very meh as well.

 

[Kid Ska]

This is my first Persona game. Not a big deal, I was just excited to see how that crazy Persona played.

Instead he gets worse as you progress.

[Valkyri von Thanatos]

how do I get these 20th anniversary themes

I want my ps4 to play "life will change" when it turns on

The 20th anniversary theme its been on the ps store for free for a while now.

Thanks for the heads up, but the only one I found had the velvet room theme (without singing). I take it the other three or so 20th anniversary themes are exclusive to the special edition in Japan?

I like Morgana, he's my cat bro. I don't really mind his "go to sleep" shtick because I know they would have stuck it in there some way anyway.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

I find it interesting how the protagonist straight up talks in cutscenes.

I thought his "See ya!" in the intro was a one time thing but he does it several more times later on.

 

[Ydelnae]

It was nice finding out that despair makes the character die after a few turns when I lost 1 hour of playtime.

 

[ramyeon]

lol having 4 SP Adhesive 3 really breaks the game.

Early on it definitely does feel OP. But higher tier skills start costing more and more SP and it starts feeling less and less broken as time goes on IMO.

It felt goddamn necessary during the final boss for me, especially since

Not a fan of that mechanic either, but It would have helped if you beat the enemies first.

 

[bryt]

I think it's broken if you don't use SP skills. Mostly swift strike with Ryuji/MC. Use HP to do damage and heal with SP.

 

[ramyeon]

I'm not gonna highlight/quote that since I haven't beaten the game yet.

But it doesn't feel as OP when you're not recovering more SP than you're using every turn anymore.

Yeah, I'm dumb. I ended up figuring it out and feeling stupid. I didn't want to leave Momentos while I was already down there. Thanks!

My spoiler was extremely minor imo, only spoiler tagged it to be careful. It's a pretty minor gameplay related detail imo

 

[Totakeke]

I used the SP accessory for two dungeons and never used it again on hard. There's just a lot of other ways to recover SP later on.

 

[PixelatedBookake]

I cannot believe you can equip a persona of the same arcana to up your SLink rankings. I've been playing since P3 too :/

 

[Giolon]

For the record, personas are auto-registered when you get their masks. You only need to register them again if you level them further and want to save that progress.

I verified that if you get a Persona mask but are full on Personas, and you choose to delete the mask, you do not get that persona registered even though Morgana will comment that you did during the post-battle screen.

 

[Evil Monkey DTT]

Main character is super talkative and I love it, even without the voice acting I feel like MC really feels like an active part of the conversations.

Well, let's be real here, the mass isn't always right. It seemed like everyone was praising a certain character earlier in this thread. That character has now become the only character I dislike strongly.

Morgana deserves better. As for people who complain about the cat telling them to go to sleep, just press the damn X button and shut up. It takes like a fraction of a second to skip that text.

 

[OniBarubary]

I like Morgana, he's my cat bro. I don't really mind his "go to sleep" shtick because I know they would have stuck it in there some way anyway.

Yeah Morgana is one of the best of the cast imo

Yah, honestly I'm unsure what people were expecting. "I wanted an open world to do whatever I want!"

It's a Japanese RPG, specifically Persona. That was never gonna happen. You're gonna get a Visual Novel dungeon crawler with some life sim elements. That's the series.



Man, they sure do like sticking Ann in swimsuits. I'm not complaining but...yeah

just started the sixth palace (story spoilers)

wow gee I wonder who the traitor could be

 

[Rhaknar]

officially finished the first "case", the days seem to be going at a lightspeed pace (doesnt the game end in december? im already in may) and I feel I've barely done anything, its weird. Not story wise but all the social link stuff and whatnot. With so much to do and all taking 1 day to do it, it just feels strange, I guess its just a Persona thing.

Hell I dont think I even got

Spoiler

Ann

as a confidant yet, or was it automatic when she joined? Either way I certainly didnt have any chances to raise it with her, much less romance her.

I'm 14 hours in and everybody says its 80-100 so im not too worried, but it feels im rushing when Im really trying not to.

I also only found 2 confidants outside the main cast, the

Spoiler

leblanc guy

and the

Spoiler

doctor lady

, was I supposed to have more at this point?

game is stressful lol
