Becky social link question

Spoiler

How do I get to make lockpicks in class? I've unlocked the "free time" ability but I never get the option to do it.

It's on certain days. The game will tell you when.

 

[molnizzle]

Do you not see the option of "making tools" during the times when she called the teacher in class using the PA system?

Never seen that happen.

Is it only certain times that you can do it then?

It's on certain days. The game will tell you when.

Got it, thanks.

Third palace:

Spoiler

So smart that he couldn't figure out the incredibly obvious location of the third palace.

I'll chalk that up to us being the viewer and also, hey, I

Spoiler

wouldn't necessarily look up when there are walking ATM machines all around me.

He's behind one of the coolest and most clever moments in the game, though, so that pretty much negates any of it, for me.

 

[Jiraiza]

I really hope they remove the MC dying means game over shit in the inevitable Persona 6. It doesn't add anything to the game except for wasting your time.

Is that the same for the next perk which is conducted from home?

7th party member question:

Spoiler

Why can I equip Futaba with armor/accessories?

Spoiler

You can increase her Luck stat through equipment, which most likely influences how often some of her abilities trigger.

Knowing Persona team and how they like to tie all aspects of the game to their story and themes, I'm sure it's done to build up the importance of the main character. But I agree, I would like it gone.

 

[Griss]

Heh, use the network feature to cheat

just use the network feature by pressing the touchpad. The correct answer is always the one with the most votes

I'm torn between being annoyed and embarrassed that I didn't know this existed and happy that I was playing blind.

 

[nOoblet16]

5th palace boss is quite something ! I mean that in a positive way, I can't believe that it's the end boss of what has been an exceedingly disappointing dungeon.

Do yourself a favour guys and atleast unlock star confidant before this fight..You'll thank me later.

I was referring to

him not realizing that the location of the palace for the Metaverse Navigator was the entirety of Shibuya.

Oh right. I'll agree that that one was pretty obvious.

 

[MaximumSpider]

I wish there were more 3D animated scenes. They're the best.

Is that the same for the next perk which is conducted from home?

That you can do whenever you want

 

[Laughing Banana]

Is that the same for the next perk which is conducted from home?

Nah, for that you can trigger the perk yourself by doing the activities described in the perk. For example, as you approach the dishwasher in the Laundry, the game will ask whether you want to do it by yourself or let her do it for you. Same with making tools, approach and activate your work desk.

Ooooooooooooooooh. That makes sense.

That's kind of what I figured, but just seemed a little weird. Thanks.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Nooooooooo!!! I just now realized that I ran past an elevator when I first died to that heavenly angel guy....I could have saved before I fought him in tower.

My soul is filled with much shame and regret.

I noticed this and wondered the same thing, good to know.

 

[molnizzle]

I can do romance option with everyone, right? I won't get locked out after the first?

Hard lessons to learn. Always backtrack to a save room if you're suspicious of bullshit ahead.

AtlusJP needs to stop hiring expensive voice actors if they're going to shove in so many voiceless scenes. This shit is so lame.

With the amount of text in these games and the amount of resources/budget a game like P5 requires, it probably wouldn't be fully voiced even if the VAs weren't among the best in the business.

The transitions from voice to voiceless can be a bit jarring at times, but it's something that I get used to quickly, with the understanding that this isn't an AAA game, where less than 100 people worked on it at a time during active development.

 

[hipsterpants]

60 hours in the only complaint I have is that the 5th dungeon is kind of ass

Spoiler

with a really good boss fight though.

and that (post 5th dungeon)

Spoiler

Haru is obviously rushed

The in media res scenes took a complete 180 from "ugh why are these here" to "holy shit these are great." Seeing the plot unfold from two different angles is great.

I'm not like expecting fully voiced scenes for every part of the game or anything but there's so much inconsistency here. It's really glaring especially with how polished the rest of the game is.

 

[Zolo]

Wtf? The bakery's selling melon pan that revives an ally with full health. What are the conditions for this?

 

[pixxxelz]

So when dou you start the SL with yusuke? I'm in the middle of June and nothing yet.

 

[Shadow Broker]

I just maxed out my Knowledge! Thanks fuck that one is over with!

Now I just need to max out the other ones.

Ugh. The 5th Palace was a giant pain in the ass. Not looking forward to replaying that.

 

[Zesh]

How do I advance the Moon confidant? I'm on 5/26 and just finished the second palace. I see that people are spending time with them, but I haven't seen any option to do so. Did I miss something?

 

[OniBarubary]

Welp.

I had to romance the doctor.

Damn punk girls, my one Kryptonite.

Gimme that stupid boner pill already.

 

[Astral]

This second boss is fucking destroying me. It's hard enough

Spoiler

just killing the paintings once.

They do too much damage.

What you doin out there man!!!

You may have to do some Mementos quests for him? See if you have any requests at the hideout. I also know at one point he moves to Shinjuku instead of being in Shibuya at night, but I don't know if he changes location before you get access to that place.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

I'm approaching the end of the game and one thing I'm a bit disappointed by is that:

Dungeon 2 spoilers:

Spoiler

Madarame's Palace was the only one that culminated in a meticulously planned heist sequence to steal the treasure. Everyone had their own unique roles to fulfill to bypass security (which fit their roles in the group as a whole, too), there was deliberate tension regarding whether it was actually going to be pulled off correctly, the catharsis of it all coming together, and then the twist of the treasure having been a fake, replaced by Madarame. Man, that was some cool stuff. I wish that there had been more sequences like that throughout the game. Possibly more elaborate and where you could also decide on how you would approach things as the leader, GTA V style.

Ah, thanks. I do have one open request; I'm not sure if it's specifically for him, but I was planning on waiting until I had a few more lined up to go to Mementos.

 

[Kid Ska]

(9/9)

Spoiler

The lei on the MCs loading screen pic is a sweet touch.

 

[Mumei]

On the Kamoshida calling card:

Spoiler

Does Ryuji write something different depending on the conversation you have on the rooftop, or is that just for flavor?

 

[Ourobolus]

Welp.

Damn punk girls, my one Kryptonite.

Gimme that stupid boner pill already.

Right there with ya. Not even a punk girl thing for me, but the whole hot doctor thing.

 

[AtomskEater]

No prob! Some of the quests he gives you will act as barriers to progression, even if they're not directly related to him. It's still a pretty good idea to wait for a few more quests to line up, though.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Wait wait!...Wait!!! She doesn't participate in combat? Why have you forsaken me. I don't wanna play no more

 

[Opa-Pa]

Just fought a cursed teddy bear looking demon called Bugs at Mementos... Is this a new demon? I've never seen or heard of it before. If so then that's great, I didn't expect to see any new ones in P5.

 

[Kid Ska]

Wait wait!...Wait!!! She doesn't participate in combat? Why have you forsaken me. I don't wanna play no more

Yeah this bummed me out, too.

Isn't the very first demon you encounter in the game a new one?

 

[Ourobolus]

Wait wait!...Wait!!! She doesn't participate in combat? Why have you forsaken me. I don't wanna play no more

Spoiler

would you participate in combat if you stayed in a room for years on end? she'd probably fall down the moment she attacked

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Yeah this bummed me out, too.

I've been waiting for this since I saw box art the blue ball arcana should be a thing. I'm depressed

Spoiler

I'd trust her with my life in combat before ryuji and Ann that's for sure

 

[LastMinuteHero]

Wtf? The bakery's selling melon pan that revives an ally with full health. What are the conditions for this?

I asked this before but where is the bakery located?

 

[Ourobolus]

I love that every single time you talk to

Spoiler

Mishima

you can say "Phan-site?"

 

[Opa-Pa]

Isn't the very first demon you encounter in the game a new one?

Oh, I meant any new demons aside from main characters personas haha. Those are usually new but never appear outside of the titular game. This looked like a brand new, non-plot important demon.

Edit: Wait, you meant that bull thing? I could swear I've seen a similar one somewhere else but since you have to uncover their names, I couldn't tell.

 

[YankeeDonB]

Oh man, Queen's awakening scene is Snow from FF XIII as FUCK. The guitar riff is even reminiscent.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Oh, I meant any new demons aside from main characters personas haha. Those are usually new but never appear outside of the titular game. This looked like a brand new, non-plot important demon.

That's also what I mean. I'm pretty sure the very first enemy you face in the game is a non-plot important, new demon to the series.

Edit: Wait, you meant that lion thing? I could swear I've seen a similar one somewhere else but since you have to uncover their names, I couldn't tell.

Yeah. I'd need to check its name again, but I don't recall it from other Megaten titles.
