Man fuck the second boss

What a difficulty spike that is
It's not really difficult but rather has a gimmick to it and if you are just fighting traditionally with buffs/debuffs then you will have a hard time. The trick is to just
ignore the mouth and take out the rest at once. Only one piece can get redirected at a time and they have low health so it doesn't matter if they get redirected if you take them all out in one turn.

Question about the 6th palace:

So, if I beat this one early do I lose my days? Considering the fact that in the prologue Joker gets arrested by the police in the casino. Or does this happen later? Hope someone can answer this without spoilers :)
you can't beat it early. Just try to progress normally and you'll see why.

Anybody jump into NG+ immediately? I'm thinking about it for the Platinum, but I'm not sure if I should just take a break first.

The only s-link im locked out of and cant finish is

so i wish this game had autosaves...

power went out right as I was actually about to save and I lost 2 hours of s.link progress
 
Question:

I go on the school trip to
Hawaii
tomorrow and only have ¥4000. Do you need money for any reason while on the trip? Specialty shops? Fancy dinner scenes? I kind of doubt it but I'm wondering if I should I spend my last day before leaving grinding for cash confusing minibosses in Mementos or wait until I get back.

I just want to say that this is the first PS4 game that made me realize how short the DS4 battery life is.

I was pleasantly surprised by the battery life. I've had a few 12+ hour game sessions with P5 and haven't had any issues with my controller dying on me.

It's all cut scenes for the trip with no real moments to walk around and do stuff outside of one minor scene. So, you'll be fine going on the trip broke. You don't spend anything.

I'm only on rank 8, but the story has been extremely predictable, and maybe people are just referring to the bananas bonuses it gives for the dungeons.
 
Didn't know that when you feed one Persna to another you can buff certain stats. And everytime you choose the persona-food the stats are different. So if you wanna improve speed or any stat you want you just have to accept cancel accept cancel till the stats are what you want to improve.
And I thought I wouldn't have to do the accept cancel loop when fusing in this game...

What's a good # of quests to stack up before heading into the mementos? I'm trying to wait, but it seems lots of time goes by and I still only have like 2.

I was able to boost Arsene to a point where his level is on par with my party member's Personas. Now it's just a matter of finding better skill cards... Surely i'll be able to pass on existing skills onto Arsene at some point, yes?

Can you complete an aide quest in mementos or do you have to go in order of the side quests you get?
You can complete all of them in one go as long as the quest is activated. There are one or two exceptions though.

I know he looks cool and all but you should have dumped him already. His stat growth isn't that good.

Okay, I'm not a fan of how I can't go into the Leblanc without passing time. That's really lame.

That's consistent with the previous games as far as I remember. Sadly.

You'd think they'd have changed it by now so that you can walk back into your home without using up time. Then make it so you can fast-forward to the evening by napping in your bed, or something along those lines.

Mine lasted for eight hours last night and was still going (though almost dead) when I plugged it in for the night. And it's a launch controller.

Y'all's batteries must be going.

You could knock off a whole bunch at once. They don't make you go back after a confidant mission is completed but it's hard to pick and choose which ones to do, it's just better to do them all if you have a lot of requests built up.

edit: I think the enemy placements are random so you don't know which ones to avoid if you only want the confidant quests.

It actually seems pretty good to me. He has overkill Agi growths and terrible Luck growth (a trash stat to begin with) as well as decent offenses. Hardly a "good" Persona by any means, but I can easily make him into a useful Persona.

EDIT: I've been min-maxing anyway so I guess it's a moot point.

Luck affects your evasion so I wouldn't call it useless. His endurance is pretty bad too. Still, he's good for cheap curse casts so I guess he's useful to a certain degree.

Isn't there something in July? I remember some event was happening in relation to the Daybreakers short

Yeah, the "The Day Breakers" special event with a bunch of VAs is on July 30th. Doubt there'll be anything of note there, though. It does take place just a bit before the concert, so there could be a tease of some kind.

Luck is not a trash stat at all.

I'm honestly thinking about it. I'm not following any guides and this play threw I'm focusing on raising my social stats anf trying to fuse as many new Persona as I can.

I'm towards the end of September and I have all my social stats maxed out except for Kindness which is at level 3. I'm hoping to max that out by the end of this play threw. The Doctor and the Teacher are the only social links I maxed out with The Priestess (who I'm romancing) social link at level 9. I need NG+ just to experience all the content I missed. What carries over to NG+ anyway? I'm hoping a good bit so I can do a harder difficulty.
