Persona 5 |OT| Lupin The Fifth. Label spoilers properly! (see post #4621)

I like everyone's phantom suit, but I feel like there's too many blacks there. Which leads to Joker, Skull and Queen outfit somewhat clash a little. Skull needs more yellow touches. While Queen outfit needs more bluish, it would fit her Persona. They could give Panther the full red outfit, after all. Fox is perfect as it is, good design for his character. Noir is also pretty good with the color composition.
 
Is there a list of persona fusions per chance? At least for the unique/ultimate Personas?

I've unlocked a couple but it'll be useless if they require specific fusions and I can't ever get them.

You're not wrong and that would be a really good way to lean in to it. Just going to spoiler it just in case.
Her s.link is even introduced by Sae as some seductress and they even start her with Yusuke having terrible acting skills. It never really uses that though, even though she's embarassed by her Panther costume at the start of the game she never really comes in to the role aside from that moment in the 7th Palace. Yeah, she's a model and what not but the femme fatale is only hinted at through her starting Persona, it isn't earned beyond her being cute.
Yeah Ann could have been a great Fujiko Mine femme fatale archetype but so far she hasn't lived up to that really. I'd like to see that change as I get further into the game but I'm not that optimistic.
 
Post-5th palace spoilers:

Obviously this could change with later story developments, but it's really weird to me that Haru doesn't at least suspect the Phantom Thieves. I know she's kind of one of them now, but it's not like she's ever had any experience with this before and her father did just die. At the very least, she doesn't even seem angry or sad about her father being dead. I was honestly hoping for her to leave the party temporarily because of what happened. It'd sure make a lot more sense than when Morgana left the party because he's a dick.
.

She actually suspect them a little. Just play more.


Well, yeah they're the phantom thieves. But they could at least use some different dark colors.

I mean it makes sense. She's still a naive high schooler.

Her attempts at trying to do that to yusuke was hilarious.

Yeah I guess at the end of the day they are just high school kids still. Man I would kill for an older cast like in Eternal Punishment again. I think it would provide an interesting twist on social links, work instead of school etc.

I think the funniest part about the flashback premise is that Sae keeps assuming that you have these amazing connections that helped you pull off these heists and it always turned out to be some goofball you happened to be friends with.

"You must have a really skilled gunman teaching you the ropes!"

Currently going through the third Palace right now. Boy, does this feel like it's taking forever to get through. And 'forever' meaning there's just seemingly just floor after floor after floor.

Also,
fuck these damn dogs

Yeah, its one of my favorite things in this game. Sae comes up with these extravagant reasons for your s.links and in reality they're just every day people aside from a few.

So, I'm at the second palace, need some help.

How do I get info on the second password? No one really says that we should leave the dungeon.

they have been great, ambush and then hit their weakness and ask for money. I need money for sp regen items (I only have one right now) so it's great to have easy money.
 
Thank you for Temperance rank 10 ability! (Just unlocked it)

I feel like I'm messing up my relationships with others since I always hang with Makoto whenever the opportunity arises. Sorry Ryuji.

If it makes you feel any better, Ryuji's link hits a point where you need to meet up with him in the evening and I totally forgot. I finished the game with most confidants at max and I tooootally forgot about Ryuji.

What are the conditions for the true ending? No spoils please.

Honestly, I'm not really sure. I got the true ending and the way to it seemed obvious with the options presented (to me). The game gives you a very obvious notice that SHIT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN YOU SHOULD SAVE. I wouldn't worry about it.

Mid september is a real drag. I'm not allowed to do anything but press X for days on end. I hate this part of the game, when it just wrestles all control from you, and fast forwards through the days, only showing you dialogue scenes at specific times of the day. I have things I need to do, and I'm losing patience with the game because of shit like this.

Brilliant game, but these things are just stupid.

I think it's some kind of balancing issue mostly, it happenend with P3, P4, P4G and of course here as well. I guess they have to "kill" some days, like with the schooltrip.

you meet specific conditions and you get it.... really not sure how you are going to be told what those are without some spoilers >.>

anyways from a guide with vague details but still timing spoilers as well as choice spoilers.
The event to trigger bad ending will occur in late November while the event to trigger the good ending will occur in late DecemberThere is also the true ending that will occur if you select the correct option during both events. So the options here are ‘don't sellout your friends' and ‘don't make a deal with the enemy'. The game asks you to confirm your choice during these options so if you still aren't sure when the specific ending is trigger, you will know about it once you are presented with the choice to confirm your selection.

Palace numero #3

Kaneshiro's concept was great, and I dug his pathological obsession with money, but the actual boss fight was a bit of downer. He arguably becomes even easier once he enters his pig bot too, and his defeat wasn't all that satisfying. Ah well, i'm looking forward to the celebration party.

yeah the resolution of that palace
felt super weak, you only hear second and third hand reports of "oh yeah he confessed" as opposed to the awesome breakdown scenes from the first and second dungeons

also yusuke is just flat out the best why atlus why do you not let us date him :<
 
Less than 20mins before my download completes. Technically I could have started it but decided to wait until it finishes.

How does this compare to P4G? Probably a stupid question, but I can't wait to play it. I'm giving BOTW a breather.
 
Just beat palace 7 and
THAT WAS THE HYPEST SHIT EVER AHHHHHHHHHHH. holy fuck that calling card scene 11/10. And that 6 stage boss fight with that music. WOW.

it wouldn't be a persona game if
your hotheaded idiot friend didn't get all the guys together to try and hit on girls
while on a beach trip

worst scene of the game so far, not just because of how expected it is, but also... the other bit.

You really wonder why the beach trip happenend in the first place and then twice even... The second one was quite uninteresting as well. At least in P4 you could hit on girls yourself and win them over if your stats were good enough(at least from what I remember).

Whew, Palace 3 infiltration done. Thought that was never going to end.

Going to have to invest in the
SP items from Takemi lol
.

Edit: Wow, a lot of time given for this Palace. Think I'm going to chill for a few days before sending the calling card.

Is there any particular confidant that provides a bonus for dating them specifically? Or is being a friend vs a girlfriend inconsequential? I have Ann and Tae at 8 currently.

I think it's way better, but I think P4G is weak even compared to P4 and P4 was a step down from P3.

I can't imagine someone who loved P4G not loving P5. Its awesome.

Totally doesn't matter. Persona has a history of giving you tons of romantic options and making them not matter. They're basically bonus scenes, the only place it really changes is that late game there's a scene where if you romanced more than one they'll find out.

it's a more polished P4G.

and it doesn't take 2-3 hours to get stuff going.


to be fair I still haven't finished P4G (got about 20 hours in and got distracted) and I am only in the middle of the third dungeon in persona 5 (about 25 hours in for me) so things could change.
 
Got to rank 3? I believe? With Yusuke today. SUPER BUTTHURT that
no one liked his painting of Mementos!! I seriously unironically fucking adored it. If Atlus ever released a hi-res print of it and sold it in poster form, I would frame that shit and put it on my wall so fast.

Someone please tell me there's a dedicated fan who's working on making my dream a reality.

It's more refined, the characters are more believable and better written(especially the later ones, some of the best in gaming), the story overall seems to be a bit stronger, even though P4G was amazing with it's plot twist where you'd never have guessed who the villian was, maybe P5 has something like this but I don't think so, it's more stereotypical in this regard it seems. The dungeon design is leaps ahead of P4G. The battle gameplay stayed almost the same though and you can now recruit shadows directly making them Personas in the process.

For me it's P4G > P4 > P5 > P3

I think if you rate P4G over P4 its hard to rate P3. Just because P3FES has some great things that P3P doesn't but P3P has some things that P3FES doesn't.

For me right now its P5 > P4=P3. I've never been able to choose one between 4 and 3 but P5 definitely stands out for me.

*Puts art critic glasses on*

That critic was right though, it's such a one-dimensional abstract of an emotion that tells nothing.

Someone mentioned you can't finish the SUN Persona if you're half way through the 5th palace or something, is that true? I delayed the palace till now, have 12 days left and SUN is at rank 8 now, hope to finish it before it's impossible to do so...
 
Thanks for the replies and now it's done!
