You need Max Knowledge for literally the *best* Confidant bonus in the game tho, so might as well work on that.
Honestly I pursued raising my Charm exclusively for quite a while simply because Makoto is stat-blocked if you don't do it, lol.

You better hit up that bathhouse my dude. She's worth it

rank 3 to start makoto's s-link, unlikely i'll get 4 with 3 days till exams now,

Yeah, I just meant there's no need to rush it too much in the name of early game exams.

Hifumi. Her max Confidant allows you to switch in switch out party members any time you wish during battles (unless the one that you want to switch out is affected by status effects)
Pfffft no one else came close, really. Well, maybe Futaba.

This has to be my favorite set up in the entire franchise. Like the game completely had me fooled even though I knew Akechi was the traitor. I thought the surprise twist would be gone but P5 did it again. The game made me think I had a bad ending!

So this doesn't become the waifu thread, I will ignore this statement.
Yoshida is a pretty boring character but his confidant bonuses are really good so you should get to that. From https://rankedboost.com/persona-5/confidant/#Sun
Rank Sun Ability Description
1 – –
2 Negotiation Technique/ During negotiation, you can make an additional demand to the Shadows [This one really good as you can rob their pockets AND perform an All-Out Attack for maximum benefit]
3 Money Collection/ During negotiation, you can demand more money from Shadows
4 – –
5 Impression Manipulation/ During negotiation, it is more likely a Shadow will give up a rare item
6 – –
7 Sympathy Technique/ During negotiation, there is a chance the Shadow will immediately become a Persona if you ask it to
8 – –
9 – –
10 Art of Charisma/ It becomes possible to convince a Shadow that is a higher level than player to become a Persona
Yeah, that bit is great. You're coming up on some awesome moments.

Yoshida is awesome.
can't do that, morgana says i can do it at home for free.
winner winner chicken dinner. I swapped best girls as i played more.
It was
Doc > Teacher > Ann
Then
Teacher > Doc > Ann
Then
Makoto > Ohya > Teacher > Doc >>>>>>Ann
Now its
Futaba > Makoto > Ohya > Teacher > Doc >>>>>>Ann
but lets let this be the end so it does not become a waifu thread since im sure theres one already

Hahaha.
Woah, I have been ignoring him but that level 10 bonus is quite someting O_O
It really feels like, to me, the game is pushing her to become the "canon" GF for the MC. I don't know, sometimes I just feel that way.
You can visit the gym once a story event with Ann and Ryuji occurs.
In the third dungeon right now. I caught this just as the scene was wrapping up. I'm on high alert with the character because of Adachi from P4 (hell, the names are almost similar lol). Excited to see if/when this unfolds in the story.
Compendium, social stats, equipment and money. Characters that you maxed out social links with give you an item to give you some (most) bonuses with before you reach those ranks in NG+.

Man, Futaba's VA puts in some motherfucking work

How do I unlock Hifumi's social link? I saw the game drop me hints that shes available to unlock but I can't seem to find her. I tried checking the
but she's not there. Maybe a different location?

Yeah, just got Futaba's backstory, and that's some heavy stuff. I knew Sojiro was going to be a based old man, but damn, he's starting to come around.

Night time, not everyday.
So items are no bueno?

When you say equipment, does it mean only the equipment that are equipped by the characters or *all* equipment in the inventory?
Also, what about the equipment worn by people not in your main party or those equipped by characters that join you late game? Like say, if I equipped Haru with a weapon, will that weapon will still be there by the time I recruited her on NG+?
She's awesome. I can't stress that I think the writing and acting around Futaba makes her one of the best in the series imo.
Nah, she should be there. I maxed her out in my playthrough and she was there every single time. Even the first time you go there to initiate it.
Yeah, anything worn by someone when you ended the game will be in your inventory on NG+.
is it harder or it just scales whatever your level is?
I never redo anything in RPGs. I try to roll with the punches and 'play it as it lies'. That's why I've gotten like 60% of the exam classroom questions wrong at this point and it's killing me
You get to select your difficulty again, it doesn't scale at all. Your character even starts at level 1 again but there is no level requirement for pulling personas out of the compendium.
she's only there on certain days
Do you know if stat bonuses from training carries over?
Laughing Banana
Weeping Pickle
Nice.
And yeah, the VA work in this game is incredible. I don't know if I ever switch to Japanese VA, the dub work is amazing and I am already used to the voices already.
Morgana's and Futaba's VA especially, incredible work for those two.

What's the stock situation like in US/UK?
Just about everyone is sold out in Australia, had to go digital in the end. Just waiting for new shipments to arrive.

What happens if I use the video game techniques I learned from the book from the Shinjuku bookstore? Does it screw me out of stat gain somehow? Because why would Morgana ask if I want to use the technique or not when playing a game at home? I'm actually suspending my PS4 until someone answers this question, I already feel under the gun with stats and I don't want to screw myself anymore than I already have.
EDIT: Screw it, I just used the technique. As far as I can tell, all it does is allow you to recover if you get the minigame wrong, which I guess means it guarantees that you'll beat that portion of the game? Since I've gotten the minigame right both times I've tried, I don't actually know if this changes anything if you do everything right normally. So I guess I had nothing to worry about?
I didn't realize this was difficult. I got it easily in the one and only time I've been to the batting cages. Maybe it's all that Yakuza 5 batting practice.

Got that batting trophy boys!!! LOL I thought this was going to be a hard one since I sucked at the batting cage, but after watching a vid that gave you some tips on how to hit that home run really helped. Had to reload my save three times to finally get it, but I'm proud of myself!

I don't, sorry. I'd guess yes but I only used training once in my original playthrough when it unlocked. I wouldn't worry too much about it though because with how much free time you end up with having really high social stats you'll be able to train a ton.
Yeah, I thought I'd hate Yusuke when he was introduced. He has a ton of growth and he's hilarious. Only problem is I can't stop hearing Matt Mercer so I keep waiting for Yusuke to say "Its high noon" at some point. And yes, I said that so the rest of you get to join in on my misery.

english awakening > japanese awakening
haru,ann, and mkoto english VA really nailed it. i watched the jpn version and its nowhere near as intense
especially since most of the personas are based on western figures. hearing milady speaks japanese is just weird

Persona 5 End of November and Persona 4 ENDGAME Spoilers!!
The setup was a little hard to believe for me. Akechi being the traitor was surprisingly obvious and I didn't even catch the pancake thing either, it was honestly rather disappointing to me that it went the way it did because I thought it was just TOO obvious and he was a false flag or something but nope, super easy to tell simply because it HAD to be a Persona user and the only one we don't see awaken is him unless they were going to make it some random person or something.
The way the setup works though just felt all too convenient to me, I mean they explain it well enough but it just seems very forced on you as the player. The whole thing with Adachi in P4 is similar in some ways but you as the player still had to figure it all out for yourself in the end and choose the right answers to come to the conclusion, here its just pretty much spelled out for you, you don't get to come the realization yourself they just flat out tell you Akechi is it.
I think part of the problem is that they had Akechi play too big of a role in the game, he stands out (even being on the freaking cover) where as Adachi plays a big role in P4 and is frequently around but outside of slipping info to the group he just a very minor character and it helps that the game DOES try to lead you onto the wrong person at first. Akechi should have either played a smaller role (hell just being a NORMAL optional s-link would've been really interesting) or been a main party member early on so when its revealed it truly comes at a surprise. Hell I was honestly thinking that if Akechi was really a false flag the traitor was likely Yusuke since HES the one who suggested the exact time to start the mission (the only time they directly talk about what time they are hitting up a Palace) and his aloof personality could have been an act. Akechi could've had a similar role and really been an interesting portrayal if he had been with you longer.
Either way though the single best twist for me was the whole thing with Izanami and the rumble handshake at the very beginning of Persona 4. I love golden but that they didn't decide to replicate that in some way is a hugely missed opportunity. I'm still hoping there is some big revelation post end of the year like P4 maybe with Morgana or Mementos but we will have to see, I JUST had the huge info dump relating to Akechi and the plot which is why its so fresh on my mind right now.

This is legit one of my favorite things about P5. Seeing all of these personas/demons in HD 3D models. Its awesome... Mara excluded.

it is. may favorite is Haru "farewell father, i am no longer your subservient puppets!!' witht hat swag hat and her pose.
the trailer made it sound awkward but with the scene in context, it was 10/10
The new models are so good. Just fused Principality last night and was impressed by how detailed it was. Such an upgrade.
