I am so surprised people are struggling with him, beat him on my first try. But I did have rampage and what not, so yea...
Yeah. It's kinda like having Ameno Uzume for Matador in Nocture or Black Frost for a mid-boss in P4. You can beat the boss without them, but it's a lot easier with them.

So I'm at the third palace and I'm still running into SP deficit problems. Is there ANYWHERE I can buy SP items? It's so frustrating. The enemies aren't hard, so it's not like I'm underleveled, but I go through SP like a motherfucker.

I honestly don't think this game is hard at all. On regular difficulty anyway.
Buy accessories from the clinic.
Also go physical.

I was looking online on how to beat some dude in Mementos and I found a YouTube video that showed how and someone spoiled the game in one of the comments and I read it.
God-fucking-dammit all to hell.

I made one earlier that's been getting a good amount of RTs lol:
This one's good too:
Haven't had fresh Persona memes in too long. I missed this series so much.

When you rank 5 with the clinic lady she'll sell you items that give you sp every turn. They're expensive, but worth it.
If you can get to rank 7, they're 50% off I think.

I didn't even know those items existed until I was already rank 9 with her. Ugh.
Dumb thing I noticed post third dungeon
Damn, I had no idea either. Guess I know who I have to spend time with now.
There's a pig sitting on the window sill now in the attic, lmao.

Up that shit to hard man. This dude was able to one shot Ann almost every fucking time. It was probably due to her shitty equipment but still. Even with it I'm sure it would've taken more than half her health. It's ridiculous.

Ryuji's and Futaba's awakenings are the most obvious, and I could somewhat saw Ann's Awakening beforehand.
But man, Makoto's totally took me by surprise. My heart was taken in that very moment.
Everyone is an asshole to Ryuji, and he totally deserves that.

A plus for morgana.
Agreed with the bolded. Is there a single scene Ryuji is in where isn't yelling something about being the Phantom Thieves in a public place? Man, fuck that guy. Even for a game as goofy as Persona, it starts to stretch suspension too far. Is everyone in the city deaf or severely brain damaged?
Her Persona and costume are legit flames.
Once I recognized who she was I was mortified for them, lol.

Just a quick Q. Am I underleveled for the 4th palace? I'm currently level
and about halfway through. Anytime I see stronger Personas, I get paranoid that I'm too low.
31
Other way around. Their back and fourth is hilarious.

I finished it at 34, so if you're starting at 31 probs not.
that's the spirit, Persona games are NG+ types anyways
Second dungeon boss is definitely a beast on hard. I beat it on my second try and all, but if you don't know what you're doing or take too long on a particular phase, it'll absolutely destroy you.
I had good equipment and it still dealt some heavy damage, so I can see it being brutal if you haven't bought new stuff for a while.

Why would you read YouTube comments :/

I didn't want to watch the entire video and was hoping someone in the comments maybe summarized it.
There's a guy in your school who apparently tells anyone he sees that he's the Phantom Thief. Fake calling cards are being sent out as pranks. Mementos Request #4 spoiler:
A gang of thugs started vandalising and damaging public property in your name.
Still, (despite having no beef with Ryuji) I do agree that it's dumb/irresponsible of him to keep blabbing on about being The Phantom Thieves even after he's made aware that both the school and the police/detectives are on the lookout for any clues regarding them. I think it might be addressed later on though? I mean they
/were/ caught by Makoto

I know how that feels, had P3 spoiled that way for me. People will also spoil P4 in comments.
P5 spoilers will be more frequent though this close to launch and due to Atlus' streaming policy outrage.

God, Persona games are pure addiction. Been sitting here for six hours and can't leave my seat. Too many confidants to level up, personas to find and grind... most games that go for all of the addicting, bar-filling type stuff are really lame, but this game just brings it all together.
Also, 6/15

The amount of pressure the principal is putting on Makoto to curb the criminal activity of the mafia because she's student council president is comically stupid.
Fuck off Kubayawatta

My sister does that too! haha
For what it's worth,
it's pointed out that Makoto couldn't actually get them put in jail based on the recordings. The main problem is that it'd likely put them under supervision.
Sounds like Youtube, alright. I went as far as blocking every Persona related video on Youtube, but got spoiled randomly on reddit cause a completely unrelated thread had a P5 spoiler as its flair. Promptly unsubbed, I'm not gonna give a subreddit with mods as edgy as that any traffic.
Surprisingly, I haven't really minded it that much. The spoiler has seemed so obvious and foreshadowed so far that it almost doesn't even feel like a spoiler. I guess I'll see.

Nah, he's still babbling about their Phantom Thieves identity in public even after
Makoto joined the team.
It's been months since their first operation and he still doesn't get it. It's like he's a static character with no development whatsoever.

People talk about
outfit while completely ignoring the fact that the first guy you play as has the most ballin' outfit of them all.
Joker's Phantom Thief clothing is swaggy as fuck.
Makoto's

I agree, I really haven't found the game that difficult so far. The game hyped up the red shadows so much, but they seem like total pushovers.
I'm sure the challenge is probably coming, but I am tempted to check if there is a way to change to hard difficulty without having to start a new game. If SMTIV Apocalypse was any indication, I played that on War (hard) difficulty and it felt like a "normal" to me, even with increased compendium costs.
Mementos:
Makes me wonder if the Reaper is straight up impossible, or just difficult where they say "not recommended". I have yet to hear the chains though.
I'm hoping to see more development much later Into the game tho. Past

I know it's only a game but it made me realise, maybe I should bond with more people instead of always being a loner.
Had the same with Persona 4
