Just guard or if a party member is in hunger status leave them be and get a surprise

Guard. Also make use of buffs/debuffs like Tarunda and Rakukaja to make it do less if needed.

Ok, am I doing something wrong ? why can't I hang out with any of my confidants while on the network people are doing this? Like some people are hanging out with 4 separate people when I can't even find one person to hang out with?
I was so confused for s second here and was like what does that
little outside of dungeons activity
Never really read the name of that special attack.
Yes Persona is like an equipment on it's own.

Are you between finding the route to the treasure and actually going to steal it? You can't hang out with teammates between those things.

Tarunda is a thing, you know. It seems like people are using Ann strictly for her Agi skills only while forgetting all her other ones, hahah.

I guess yeah. I got to send the calling card basically so I secured the route. That would make sense as to why I can't hang out with them if that's the case

I've quickly gone from 'I don't have much pity for Morgana' to 'Fuck Morgana'.
Mid-September spoilers:
Fuck that cat, he can
. Sadly, I don't think the game will let me
EDIT: Nope, it didn't. I'm going to punt that cat like a football, given the chance
EDIT2: You get a pass. For now, out of pity. You're on probation, cat
Mid-September spoilers:
Morgana is
a) Running off on his own in violation of the Phantom Thieves's full agreement compact
b) Doing so out of petty jealousy and insecurity of all things
c) Inducting somebody he met at random as a Persona user and feeding them a false narrative to carry out his violation of the compact
d) Acting smug and justified, guilt tripping the others in the party over his actions
e) Has guilt tripped Ann into forcing Ryuji to apologize to him(dafuq? If anything the cat should apologize) and most importantly,
f) The little shit is eating up days I could be social linking due to his acting out

She's a pretty good magic user but the main reason I keep her with me for boss battles is Tarunda, yeah.

Definitely don't worry about fusing Persona unless they have a skill coming you know you want and you're keeping them equipped to get it. Unless they have Growth (II/III) they level to slowly to get all their skills from casual use. You'll get most of your "perfect" compendium persona from fusing them with massive arcana bursts late in the game as fusion fodder to fill the gaps in your compendium.
Especially so on in this game where your max stock is story gated.
Edit - Finished the first palace last night. Gotta say the boss was much easier relative to the Palace than was the case in P4G.
By contrast the palace was much harder than P4Gs first palace, since the fixed layout, patrol routes and alertness level make evasion of combat close to impossible. It also feels significantly longer and the enemies more brutal with large groups of Marin Karinning enemies towards the end, as well as reinforcement users. I think I could probably have done some more levelling / yen grind in the palace before fighting him but the payout didn't really seem worth it.

He Telepgraphs his best attacks , doesn't exploit any weaknesses and only uses a buff that you're forced to have a counter too always available.

Palace 2's boss was pretty tough, didn't have time to apply much buffing, just countering the boss's.
Temperance is messed up. On many levels.

Good. I should be close to reaching that and then I can get back to maxing out charm for Makoto.

It's been a while but I'm pretty sure that the attack will heal you rather than hurt you if you have the hunger debuff up, which makes sense considering the nature of the attack. Guarding also works, of course, as it does with every attack that's broadcast to you a turn in advance.

Managed to rank up my Proficiency to Max by 11/3 - so from here on I'll be focusing on my confidants, hanging out with Haru whenever available. (And other confidants in order of lowest-to-highest rank when she isn't.)
Should I still bother with ranking up Chihaya at night? Once I have Sojiro out of the way, the only real option then will be Iwai, and I've yet to get a single customizable gun.
Yep, getting the Hunger debuff is key. Or just cast defense up on everyone and guard.

Treasure type items are meant to be sold, right? I really hope it's not one of those things where they end up being useful for something else. Case in point: I'm itching to sell this onyx!
Thank you 👍
Palace 7 finished. Im feeling the game is going to its end. Post palace 7 questions
anything optional to do now before it ends?. Super bosses aside reaper or anything? Im gonna try to finish mementos and that stuff but idk if I have to do something to trigger extra bosses or anything.

Romancing multiple girls makes you a horrible monster, but beyond that there's no min/max benefit to romancing one vs. romancing everyone vs. not romancing anyone, to my knowledge.
Thank you!
I just had my first chance to start romancing. The indecision is crippling. Maybe date all of them, and pick my actual favorite on NG+....?
It's gonna be Makoto
Inbetween completing palace 4 and decide to do the Moon Confidant storybeat
of course the eccentric is fucking yusuke I literally had to put the controller and look at a wall for a min. Everything about this kid is the definition of troll. He breaks the 4th wall, has his own conversations, does random shit in public.
Your spoiler is the correct, and only, decision.

I wasn't expecting all that damage after the first phase was so easy. It OHKO'd my MC with full health. I should have blocked tho.

8.5 hours in so far. Geez, I put in a lot of hours in the past 24 hours. No wonder I'm tired...
Either I've gotten worse at Persona or this is a bit harder than 4 for me. I just finished the first palace on easy in one day, but I did it with the skin of my teeth. And, man, do I feel beat. I'm still struggling with the cover system, and when to pull back from cover, but I'm getting better. I hated negotiations in P2, and I hate them here, but I feel it is a bit more forgiving, at least. I'm not quite feeling my four main characters yet, but it is still so early.
So, the first dungeon in P4 was the most difficult for a lot of players. Is that the consensus here as well? Are all the palaces roughly the same length?

12/24:
I guess I should have seen this coming that I'd end up having to fight the congnitive unconciousness of society to set things right. Kinda crazy. Already loving the final palace look and music, even though I haven't actually progressed. I assume this is the last area I'll have access to fusing new persona before the game ends?

If you think that one was hard, you are in for a rude awakening in the third dungeon.
Pretty sure that boss doesn't have a weakness:
Eyes can only be hit by physical, mouth only by magic, and nose by either.
One beef I have with bosses in this game: The whole game you are told to find the weakness (which could be a thing they are weak to, or might just be using buffs/debuffs/reflection/whatever), but then bosses just kind of throw that rule out the window.
Example (4th palace boss):
You can't hit her with physical because she is flying around,
then you do the ballista and shoot her down, and then you can just keep hitting her for a few turns. At first I was using magic, then decided on a whim to use a physical skill and it did about 4-5 times the damage. Yet she isn't weak to phys. It kind of just breaks it's own rules here where something is more effective on it, but it isn't actually it's weakness.

Status ailments like sleep, confuse etc never work on "key" enemies. If it's an enemy you have to kill to move forward then status ailments of that kind aren't going to work on it. You can use the ones that lower resistance to particular elements though, those work OK.
It's a pity there isn't a spell you can use which will actually lower an elemental resistance enough that they'd actually be weak to it.
