I noticed it right away and had to double check the log just to confirm it.
At the time I was surprised no one in the group brought it up but damn did it come back in a big way.

calling card tutorial specifically said you need 2 days because you will go on the day AFTER the card to be fair dude :/
Same experience.
I had to double check through the log to make sure what I had just heard was correct. And then I was subsequently annoyed the P5 cast were being typically dumb for the sake of the plot and missing something obvious, as if they were the Investigation Team or something.
Instead, the game sure showed me. One of the coolest twists I've seen in a while.
Anyone have any tips for finding (items related to Velvet Room ability you gain early August)
? I found one of the
at the used item shop, but have yet to see these anywhere else. Are they farmable at any point, or is there a finite amount you have access to?
Thanks!
Black Rocks and those Black Kogatanas

Thanks!
That's how it was for me except I forgot that the log was a thing. I legit could not remember if anyone else said it.
Did she (Tae romance spoilers)
Come to the cafe and call you out (in a good way) for working with the phantom thieves?
I thought that was really clever and just made me like the character more. Especially so when she essentially offered me boner pills and asked to come upstairs lol

he bought like 2 lobsters with no intention of eating them.
I ain't giving money to someone who's dumb about money.
Same thing happened to me in the first palace. Once you know how it works it's not an issue though.

Now you know- it will be the same going forward.
Also, the game is generally really good about warning you before bosses and min-bosses. You usually get a specific prompt asking you if you want to continue. No prompt means you are likely safe.
I honestly prefer the in-engine scenees. The only animation I have liked in the series was P3's but that was because it was kind of stylish and striking. The animation in P4 and P5 just seems very conventional and bland.
Third dungeon to me was like cold water in the face. Barely made any progress on my first attempt before I had to retreat and come up with a new strategy.

I have seriously died on this random encounter in the third dungeon with a horse dude and two nekomata like four times.

What are the differences between PS3 & PS4, besides the resolution?

That's pretty much it.

Star confidant is honestly way more interesting as far as navigator abilities go if they didn't scrap the idea of making her a party member.
Sounds like the stuff they added to Rise in P4G, broke the balance of that game.
Yeah definitely, she's only rank 4 for now but so far the stuff she's given me feels like fair mechanics that would otherwise be tied to story progression.
I thought the same thing... As if having to see Rise during AOAs wasn't bad enough, it broke the dungeon crawling completely.

I really don't get how the Luck Reading unlock for the first level of Fortune is supposed to work. Every single time I activate it,
Where's the benefit? What am I missing? Is it semi-random? Should I save scum?
I get the normal amount of music notes for whatever activity I did.
Oh right, I hadn't even thought of that. Restricting stuff like hot swapping party members to when she's your navigator? Well, maybe not that specific ability, but I could see it for some of what Hifumi contributes.
You're probably not calculating it correctly. It adds 1 note to whatever you do. If you would earn 2 normally, you'll earn 3. If you would earn 3, you'll still earn 3.

The fact that they say they cut her because the main scenario was already too long breaks my heart.
I would have definitely taken another 20 hours with a an additional party member.
PERSONA GAMES ARE TOO SHORT.
Not exactly but the tower confidant can be missed if you are one of those people who skimp on mementos quests.
He's far less obscure or hidden than some others. Fortune and Strength come to mind.

Probably the
Tower
He's a boy in the arcade later in the game. To unlock, you must do a Mementos quest
That's the legitimately the most hilarious exchange I've seen in the game lmao.

Yusuke is awesome. He's the MVP of the text chains.
Honestly I feel like Yusuke and Makato are the adults of the group.

Yusuke is more weird than adult. 
It's nowhere near that common or overpowered. Healing is like 120 HP, and buffs are chosen at random (It can be attack, defense, accuracy or Thermopylae which is all three at once.)
Later in the social link it recovers SP too but it's only 26 SP per recover. It's hardly overpowered and hasn't enabled me to actually win any fights based on it alone, and I'm at the end of the game now. You can't rely on it at all, it's completely random and more often than not occurs right at the end of a battle, leaving it to have no effect on the battle itself. Relying on party members casting buffs is way more consistent.
Good to hear, the Rise stuff in P4G happened way too often. Just one of many mechanics and changes they added that made the game way too easy.

Man, it's so fucking great when you're in a rank 10 confidant conversation and this song kicks in while the person is telling you about how much they support you.
Just finishing the first palace now. Trying to prepare for my downtime afterwards. When can I get a Death type persona? Pretty sure I have everything that can be taken in the first palace, also been playing around with fusion but I can't see any there from the results. How do people get Tae's rank up early on if you can't have a matching persona to make it go faster?
Mandrake in the first palace is Death Arcana. The weird looking plant person.
if it is anything like persona 4... if you are on the safe difficulty... what ever level you are when you first meet it.
I haven't been playing on safe so I don't know if it revives you mid battle and heals up your party to full hp and sp like in persona 4... if so anything is killable in that mode with enough time :3
don't know the actual recommended level though lol.
Awesome I remember that one. Just need to find what floor it's on.
True, but without a guide it can be kind of grindy and expensive to level it through all the fusions you have to do. I'm just now working towards rank 5 which wants 3 separate fusions. Ugh.

Ryuji going "Dude, that's not quite what we want" was great too.
Sometimes it even works against you, if you're happily chilling with Rakukaja on everyone, but she buffs everyone with something else, causing the boss to Dekaja everything off.
A question to you guys who have also finished the game.
Does anyone else feel mild regret at having watched PV3 and 4? They revealed how Haru joins you, the 4th dungeon boss, some of the more interesting gimmicks like painting travelling in the art museum or the space airlock, and much of the footage was from the anime cutscenes near the end of the game. I felt that slightly reduced the wow factor when I actually got to those points in the game.
Should be around the starting areas, it was one of the first Persona I got.
