Whoa now. Her gun skills are incredible, not to mention a Psy abuser. She's been one of the best ones so far for me.

Is that not enough?
I've only used like, one.

Not really in my experience, i tried to use all those against them during the palace exploration and it never worked, unlike the Oni which were very easy because of this (also they didn't spam >100 damage aoe). Only got lucky sometimes in bringing them down with a critical. The main issue is that there were two of them at a time spamming their AOEs in most of the fights in this area, which was annoying as fuck. It's hilarious to me how much easier the boss fight was, i also never had problems with enemies/bosses before that part.
By cheese it i mean i snuck past them with the right timing instead of fighting them or going for the chest.
Good to know that it didn't have anything major in it though, thanks.

Rpg sin #3. Always use multiple save slots.

I disagree. I actually like how long the latter dungeons are. I think the problem people are having is that the dungeons in this game are meant to be done over the course of several days, which would help with their pacing. but most people are trying to do them in 1/as few days as possible and in order to maximize their social links. Which is a big reason why they feel so long. So I don't really think you can blame the game for pacing issues when it's the player that is causing them.
idk man. I barley use guns except to exploit weaknesses. Maybe I shouldn't say suck, but I just feel that there's way better alternatives that you can use instead of her, like Yusuke or Makoto, plus you get

Where the hell is Yusuke besides the Underground Walkway? I can't find him for some reason...

The game that introduces all characters the best is actually Persona 3: Shinjiro, who joins the group at the end is introduced before fighting the second boss and he gets some development before even joining the group, while Naoto and Haru's development suffers because they join the group at the end, despite both appearing early too.
Yeah, it seems like a huge oversight. Its super dumb.

Use the fast travel tot he underground walkway. It should pop you right in front of him.

So Haru is lame? She's the only character I haven't been looking forward to meeting since her reveal in trailers.

He's at S. Link 8, I know where the dude normally hangs out, he just...isn't there on a day he should be. I wasn't sure if he moved around like Mishima to Akihabara.
Completely disagree. She's definitely changed from those early intros, but I think her character is great and she's super useful in dungeons.
Stack those gun boosts and
One-Shot Kill
Confirmed not lame.

Her introduction is one of the funnier scenes in the game.
I haven't gone much past that though.

Did you try pressing square on the map to see if he's there?
Err, the player is causing them by attempting to work with the other game mechanics. This is especially true with a series known for True Endings that often require a lot of either planning or luck if you're not going in with a guide. So yes, the game can be blamed for this sort of behavior, it flat out encourages it.
That being said I do split them up between days myself and they still feel like they are dragging now.
For me her introduction was slightly overshadowed by
how annoyed I was with Ryuji and Morgana
Huh? None of the true endings in this series really require a guide, planning or luck.

She could've used more fleshing out, since most of the time she's just...there. But honestly I still liked her. But idk, Naoto was my favourite in P4 too lol, although Naoto had more impact on the team dynamic. Terms of combat she's my favourite alongside Yusuke.
Honestly the character I was disappointed in was Makoto, but I get that I'm alone. The characters that I never expected to end up really liking were Yusuke and Futaba.

Not really. Also the game definitly doesn't encourage you to try to do everything in one play through. If anything it's the opposite. The fact that most things carry over in NG+ and the fact that it's so difficult to max out everything without a guide is proof of the that. The devs definitely didn't intend for people to see everything in one play through and that's completely fine. It's part of the experience.

lololol.
I figured this out on accident. Luckily I found it pretty early on. I really wish the game made the fact that you could do this more clear. It's especially frustrating because S-links that you can level up won't always text you. So if you don't use this feature you may not even know that there's one you can level up, unless you physically check.

Do they ever straight up tell you about that feature?
I knew it exists but I can't remember the game telling me about it.

Story question:
Story question:
Is there some kind of stigma in Japan or something? Why is the main character treated like a hopeless criminal when he did a good thing/acted as a good samaritan?
Unless there's more to what happened, then nevermind

Do you ever get a 2nd accessory slot?
I feel like they did as soon as you got the ability to fast travel to places. Not 100% sure though.

There's more to it.
All I can say is play the game.
Keep playing.
Give it some time.
It's clarified later.
There is more to what happened. And I'm pretty sure having a criminal record in Japan has a huge stigma compared to in North America, from the little I know. Ties into the whole 99% conviction rate and everything.
Edit: Holy crap.

There is more to what happened, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut they kinda allude to it in the scene itself. To sum up, unspoilery, the guy says the police are his bitch. It's kinda implied he has them in his pocket and can control the story of what happened.
Edit: Jesus!

P4 needs it because the story is bad: You needed to know who was the culprit in advance to unlock the last dungeon. If the story were good, you'd eventually discover who was the culprit, but there were no clues at all so you just had to know, otherwise you wouldn't get the true ending. And then, you had an extra dungeon that required that you took some steps in order to fight the entity behind it all.
Does Yusuke have any pre-requisites to starting his S.Link? I've spent a day with him, but nothing happened. Though this may have been before "his" Palace's story arc had played out. Have avoided spending any more days with him while waiting on some story event or something that starts his Link, though that doesn't seem to be happening.

as someone who had the same problem with it, there's more to it.

LMAO holy shit talk about misunderstanding things. That's not even remotely what I said. I said that there is a vast chasm of discrepancy between what Shiho went through vs what Ryuji did. That doesn't automatically make what Ryuji went through "fine" what the heck.
And it's not like I dislike him because he wasn't abused enough, if that's what you're implying. That's ridiculous. I dislike him because I think he's fucking annoying. I think he has a shitty attitude and he reacts to situations poorly, which are two things that have literally nothing to do with his backstory or the cultural context in which he exists. You can be dealt a crappy hand in life and go through some shit and not turn out to be a total asshole.
Yusuke and Haru are great yeah. Makoto/Morgana for some healing.
The poster was talking about the game forcing players to try and complete Palaces within 1 day as if maxing social links was important to getting a true ending. This isn't the case, never has been. They've always hinged on your answers in a dialogue prompt. They don't really require any planning beforehand.
I almost forgot I hadn't even unlocked his S. Link lol
