LMAO I only got to see hostage situation at the 7th palace. Neat tutorial so late in the game.

Any suggestions for personas that learn confuse boost? I missed that skill so I've been relying in stagnant air.
It's actually pretty impressive that you came up with the idea without knowing about P2 haha. Yeah P2's central thing is that all popular rumors become true.
They already took clear inspiration in P2 for Yusuke and Ann so let's hope.
Thanks for reminding me I have to play Persona 2
But, in any case, I think in the current society it'd be a very interesting story to tell. Because of how social media works and all, there would be plenty of differences with a game that's 15 years old.

I have been stuck on the Matador with Maguru one.. probably should knock it out.
I got one early in the game and haven't seen another for 70 hours.
i think makoto is pretty decent, though not s-tier like ryuuji and sojiro. it's a good interpretation of the character i think.

About 12 hours in - I got the game on release game but I only have time to play an hour or two per day, at best - and this may be my favorite game ever. P4G is a top-5 all-timer for me, and after almost 200 hours in that world my attachment to that cast and that setting is stronger than any game could build in 12 hours, but P5 is already close on that front and the massive improvements in dungeon-crawling are a huge difference. I like SMT-style battles in general, but in P4G I always felt like the dungeons were a thing I had to get through in order to get back to the other parts of the game I liked more. P5's palaces (the first one, anyway) feel like a destination unto themselves.

Posting this question again : If for example I get 6 points for hanging out and giving a gift to someone but I only need 3 points for the next rank, do the 3 points remaining carry on ?
Yes they do.

How much was your Luck stat?
12 high pixie. No confuse boost either but it seems to land every time.
This is on shadow odo
I am now getting an average of 18 thousand.
This is so broken. Wonder if they will patch this
The best part is this mini boss is a physical attacker so just guard and confuse him when he charges

I just love the little touches with weather in this game. Going into Mementos during a heat wave was really cool.

I love Makoto, given her personality/character I think her voice acting works a lot better than, say, Mitsuru in P3 (who I love generally but honestly never sounded like a high school student to me). Also, as one of four people who liked Danganronpa: Another Episode, it was neat to hear Komaru's voice actor again.
(I haven't checked but I also suspect Futaba's VA did Toko in the Danganronpa series. I'm notoriously bad at recognizing voice actors, though.)
They are saving the good bits for the tv show/movie.

Which one is odo agains. Got a feeling that I have beaten him already in new game plus. Had 800000 carried over so not struggling with money.

Yesterday I checked the version of this game and it's 1.0. Can't remember the last time I played an unpatched game on PS4.
day 6/6. The manager abusing one of his employees. On the 8th floor I beelive. Or third area of mementos
I feel bad about abusing this trick but lords knows I am going to need the money because these weapons are getting costly
Ah so Makoto is Komaru, I knew I recognized that voice. It fits her character really well.

OK, so Ive been to the (first hour spoiler area)
twice now, and have gotten a good feel for the game, I think. So far, everything still feels very tutorialized, which is fine.
Keep in mind Im playing my friend's copy and still undecided.
I very much like the school setting though Im afraid the dungeon crawling will drag me down as I grow tired of it. I enjoyed the starting area, but am curious what else the game has in store?
The OT says something like you can do whatever you want during the day. How does that work? Does the game allow you to go to school and develop things like skills and relationships there? Can you ditch it all to explore the seemingly vast and integrate town?
Do you control the pace of the story progression? Right now, it seems everything is automated to push the story along.
I think I like this game, but with every JRPG, I grow increasingly worried that I will drop it halfway around.
Really, the only JRPGs Ive finished are Dark Souls, Demons Souls, Pokemon, Golden Sun, Dark Cloud 2.... I loved them all but Im still so unsure about this game because it's so weird and different.
Also, Im not sure how I feel about the setting, as some areas don't interest me (like the first area feeling very dark and cookie cutter). Is that just the starting area? Are there more interesting Persona worlds after?

If there is no excuse to show sexualized Ann, then there's no anime cutscene.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
well .. it's really not that hard if you're playing on easy with the EXP multiplier
No regerts !
You (for the most part) control the story progression. Each day that the game isn't pushing you forward with plot, you'll get time after school and in the evening to do whatever you want*
*Most things you do will consume all of that time though (either after school or evening).
So you have to decide what things to work on during those two timeframes, whether it is hang out with a friend, work on a personal stat like Knowledge, explore a dungeon, etc.
IN GENERAL, the best choices will give you 3 points (musical notes), or only 2 if you don't have a corresponding persona on you. However, not all decisions have answers that give points, and some may only have decisions that give 2 (or 1 w/o the persona) points, with no option that gives 3.
EDIT: Also, if you want to meet with a confidant, the game will tell you whether you are going to rank up. If it says "I think we'll become closer soon (paraphrasing)," then you'll rank up. If not, then it'll say something like "I don't think we'll become closer (paraphrasing)." You can also press Square on the map over each location to see if a confidant there will rank up - It'll say UP!! next to their name.
Answering the questions during a rank up doesn't do anything towards the current Rank.
Say you are meeting with Ryuji, and it says you'll be closer soon. You're currently Rank 3.
No matter what you pick, you'll hit Rank 4. The points you earn during that discussion move you closer to Rank 5.

Like 3-4 social links work on a point system or w.e. So using a good answer boost the chance for them to lv up next time. Basically more good answers equals less time needed to max them out
I think you get it for doing the 777 job Twice. I also did the meat bowl job twice as well.
Picking the right answer gives you more music notes (confidant points), the max number per answer is 3, and these fill an invisible meter that determines whether you rank up next time you meet. Think of Ranks as levels and music notes as exp points. Getting 3 consistently makes it so you'll rarely have to hang out without getting a rank up.

Hrm yes, the constant male gaze with which Anne is sexualized is somewhat problematic and an unnecessary blemish on this game.

Some answers give more "points" than others, represented by the notes that pop up after a dialog choice. You can get 0, 1, 2, or 3 "points" for each choice (many questions will always give you 0 regardless of what you choose). You will get more points if you have a persona of the same arcana equipped and active while you hang out.
When you meet up with someone the game looks at how many points you have and if it is above a threshold, the confidant rank will increase that day. If not, you will just get a generic spending time filler day event.
Long story short, choosing "correct" answers will keep the filler days to a minimum and level your confidant levels up faster with less in game time.

Best wait on a price drop.
P5 isn't a conventional open world game where you can screw around forever on side stuff before deciding to move the main plot forward. Story events happen on set days and there is no avoiding it. You can't slow down time either. You essentially get to choose a single activity during each chunk of time (afternoon/evening) and then the clock moves forward.
The game provides methods to loosen these time constraints but they are built into the various systems that will take time to unlock.
24 hour store. First job you get
Ok I decided to call it a day on the money trick grind. Made 200k plus tons of hp items.

Only safety mode gives you more XP. 43-46 is the level base for the 5th Palace
I have not done any fighting in the 4th dungeon (just unlocked it) and believe I'm at level 32-ish. If you finished or even got to the 4th at level 24, that's pretty amazing. Especially if you've done anything at all in Mementos (I've only been about 3 times).
Uh the 7th palace makes you fight strong enemy one after another without letting you save. I've finished it now with only the main boss remaining but if I didn't have SP recovery options I'd have been fucked near the very end because of
(Since invigorate band isn't nearly enough to last the entire palace for Joker if he is filling in multiple roles constantly)
fighting Yakuza guy who was thought, then the multi stage Akechi fight, both with no save options. I actually was lucky to have damage repel personas so I breezed through the Akechi fight. The Yakuza boss fight was actually harder for me.
Wait, really? Can someone confirm this?
Yeah, I noticed this as well. I wasn't going to max all my SLs first playthrough anyway, but it is annoying.

Thanks. I don't really want an open world, and I don't mind the constraints on time at all. But so far, Im just being dragged along, and I assume its because its just a tutorial phase.
Er, is there any freedom in school? Like ditching classes or answering questions in class? I really enjoyed answering the Plato question lol
Can you tell me more about dungeons? What kind of variety can I expect outside of the Castle?

I opened that bookmarked soundcloud page of the OST rip from when the game released in september, I remember not really resonating with it except for the normal battle theme and the opening song. Really disappointed me back then. Especially how I rock the p3 and p4 soundtracks on a regular basis.
I have been listening to the full OST since I finished the game last monday. Now I wish that I have extended version or a looping version of all songs to listen to while I'm at work or on commute.

I'm pretty sure your party S Links disappear between finding the route to the treasure and sending the calling card. Thats been the case for me for all the palaces.
I wish the skill cards allowed you to view skill information too. Unless I'm missing something and you can?
Yeh, so far at least... they won't give any option but "we should go to the palace" during that time.
