Okay, so it turns out you can miss mementos requests if you don't check a Mishima text by a certain date. This simultaneously locked me out of the request and book trophy.

That sucks, checking my messages at night has become a daily routine for me in game so fortunately I haven't missed anything.

 

[Jiraiza]

I love this.

Edit: Aww, disappointing end there.

I always check the messages when I receive it. I just don't reply to invitations instead of declining when I'm about to do something else.

Oh man I just did the first battle with P3 battle theme. Yeah I can't go back now.

Anyone got some fusion formulas for good ol Satan? The calculator is failing me here, only lists fusions involving Messiah-Picaro which I don't have.

 

[brianmcdoogle]

Quick question: I'm going to start this tonight. Because it is a 100 hour game, I'm only going to play through it once, and I am doing so to enjoy the story/s.links. Should I just play on Safety or start on Easy?

Playing on easy no regrets

Of course save before buying those from Igor in case one of them is wrong.

I honestly recommend starting on Normal and then switching to Easy if need be. Normal isn't very hard as is.

You can switch at any time except for Safety which locks you in.

Yeah, that's why I played thru the game a third time. The good news is you can check the text whenever, but your phone only saves the last 50.

 

[TheBear]

Is there any trick to obtaining personas in the dungeons? When I talk to them, I take note of their personality (timid, aggressive etc) but then they ask questions like what do you like for dinner and shit and it throws me off completely.

Also, my only complaint thus far is getting one-shotted by stronger enemies and losing an hour progress. That shit is unfair

How familiar are you with the series? SMT games always kick my ass that I've never finished them and I found this game easy enough on normal I had to bump it to high. The game gets easier the longer it goes it seems, so if you can make it through the start you're most likely good.

start on normal and drop to easy if you find it too hard

There's lil blue doors in the beginning of a palace and in certain areas

If you hang out with Ryuji and MIshima in the post-festival event.

Ryuji getting mega mad. Miyano does a good job with the anger and frustration here.

Use a guide if you only want to play it once because that game kinda force you if you go blindly to to do a new game+ A guide will help you see most of the social links.

 

[A.J.]

Yeah, but the text was in June and my last save was August which only went back to July texts.

 

[Exentryk]

The names are like that in Japanese too.

That doesn't mean localisation could not have fixed them.

Yeah I was quite annoyed by this while watching a stream, seeing the AoE version of Psio being Mapsio. And I remember I had trouble wrapping my mind around Media being a healing spell in my first SMT game. It's the capitalization in the English language that makes it harder to understand, in Japanese you don't run into that problem.

What if the English names were rendered as MarAgi, MaBufudyne, MeDiarahan etc?

The capitalisation looks a lot better. Even a hyphen in the middle could work, like Mar-agi, Ma-bufudyne, Me-diarahan, etc. This way you could get rid of that "r" in mar-agi and have it as ma-agi.

 

[Marmaladefire]

How do I go to the Velvet Room on demand to fuse personas? I've only gone when the game has forced me to.

There are locations at the front of mementos and the palaces, as well as in Shibuya, and I think Shinjuku, also probably also other parks of the city you are able to access later.



Morgana still going on about

"When I'm a human" when it's obvious that's not the end game of his story arc

but I want to power up my Personas first. I can seem to find the blue doors in his palace.

EDIT: Never mind, found it at the entrance.

 

[CSX]

So has there been a guide detailing the best dialogue choices during confidant events yet?

Pretty sure there's plenty for the original japanese version, just wondering if anyone took the time to make an english version

The gamefaqs spoiler free guide lists the best responses for dialogues.

 

[duckroll]

Using a guide for dialogue choices takes all the fun out of it. I mean there's really nothing quite like looking at the choices, seeing "Beep Bop" and being COMPELLED to pick it knowing it is a bad choice, and having to use every ounce of willpower to pick the one that doesn't hurt her feelings.

I already did that for my 1st playthrough lol. I just had to see that response myself

Now on the NG+ and I just wanna max out all confidants asap

 

[Ulong]

I feel like maxing all the confidants is so easy this time around that you don't really need a guide on NG+. I almost maxed them all on my first playthrough doing everything SUPER inefficiently.

 

[Zyrox]

Hail Satan.

Just tried, Kohryu and Ishtar make Zaou-Gongen. Trying other fusions now.

Man, what is up with the scenes ending on a blurry note? The plot thickens.

 

[Balphon]

As far as I can tell fusing something into a treasure demon always results in the next highest persona of the same arcana, so you could try that.

The best, and probably one of the only good parts about Ann's confidant is that she can take a jabs at her expense in stride sometimes.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Just finished. Really fucking good. Not sure how I'd rank it against 3 and 4 yet, but I'm thinking 3 is still my favorite.

 

[YankeeDonB]

Got sick and lost my appetite for gaming for a few days. Now back to normal and having trouble getting motivated to start P5 up again. I was having fun, but story just hasn't been grabbing me like P4. I'm sure I'll get back in the groove though.

I picked Makoto for that and thought it was a pretty cute event.

The conversation isn't interesting enough to care for immersion. But it's good to hear there is some flexibility and that I might be able to max out my links.

The capitalization and hyphens both look terrible.

There's a section in help menu in game that describes stuff. When u talk to an enemy u see what kind they are. The guide tells u how to act.

Timid be Kind
Etc, etc...dont have em all memorized myself.

Some of the harder foes have weaknesses. Casting Forget on those vulnerable is clutch from my playthrough so far. Hope that helps keep u alive.

It is different and has no resistances.

Almighty is a completely separate element from the ones you get ressistances to. It's literally almighty so it bypasses everything.
