Yep, you'll know 'em when you see 'em.

Ah, well, rare fish come out in rain.
Real quick, but assuming there's a bad/secret ending difference in this game like in 4, is it obvious and/or would I be likely to screw it up? Just playing through and trying to avoid spoiling myself on anything, but this is the one thing that's bugging me in the back of my mind.
Unless it's a rainy day, it generally won't show up until the 6th or 7th cast.
It'll be noticeably larger and thin and a golden silhouette when viewing the pond with L1

Very easy to get the true ending. There are two checks, one of which is both obvious and prompts you to save first anyway, and the other which is even more obvious.
There is only one good ending that leads to the true end. It does not require anything like 4.
There are multiple different bad endings if you don't finish a palace by the deadline.
There are two more opportunities for a bad ending that depend on dialogue choices. If you choose the "wrong" one the game will ask you "are you really sure?" before letting you choose it again.

Haha.
I just wanted someone to explicitly state what her services provide. I just find it funny that I'm playing a game where a teacher also works as a sex worker.

Do you need rank 5 kindness for anything?

I'm pretty sure you do for one of the social links.

Ahh alright, man he's got the slowest confidant in the game I feel.

That's because his confidant is twice gated by story progression, gated by social stats including a level 5 social stat, and requires more points for the earlier levels to try and hide the first story gate.

The following slinks need max social stats for each category

So I just started Palace 5 and I have a question......very minor character name spoilers, I'll tag it just in case but I wouldn't call it a spoiler...
What the hell is the point of Futaba in the party? NAVI? What does she do exactly. Is it just to provide those little regen perks she has?

she gets lots of other abilities. Some of which are absurdly good.

Wait am I crazy or unlike P4 is every confidant available every day of the week at some point during the day?
Unless I am miss remembering in P4 some people were only available certain days of the week.
But in P5 it feels like everyone is available whenever I want to talk to them.

That and a few other benefits that can help navigation in Mementos.
People definitely aren't available every day. Well besides maybe a few exceptions.
They most definitely are not available every day.

One of the issues I'm having with the game at the moment is that I wish it handled the relationship stuff in relation to the story stuff better. Like I get it's a lot to change probably, but there's a real weird dissonance when probably a half a month total worth of plot is devoted to "man, if only we had girlfriends, right?"
Just seems like it could be handled better in the dialogue.

in those moments I just assume my character is keeping his mouth shut (considering who you can romance, i wouldn't blame him for wanting to keep hush hush)
My view also makes sense wrt one scene with ann
If you walk with her in Hawaii while in a relationship, she talks about how it sucks that they can't find time to be with each other and be all relationship-ey because everyone else is around

In that case, why not just add a "let's keep this between us for now" line of dialogue somewhere to at least attempt to justify it. As it stands now it just plays odd.
This is purely a hunch on my part, but I kind of assumed your choice for who to hang out with depends on
how you answered Ann's question about what kind of girl you like the night before.

Well after about 100 and some hours I was finally able to finish it. Got wiped on the last boss once, then came back and kicked ass! What a nice and well done ending too, I was really satisfied with how things turned out.
Also stop hating on Ryuji, he was a true bro till the very end! Ryuji is so awesome!
What a great experience as my first entry into the Persona series, I can't wait to play P3 and P4 now!

I've got no idea how this works cos I was rank 10 with Ann and I got her as an option. I also got Makoto, who was only rank 5, and didn't get Kawakami, who was rank 8, 9 or 10 at the time.
I guess it isn't solely based on rank.
That doesn't affect anything as far as I understand. It's just based on confidant rank and your relationship to the person.
Ryuji is the default.
Makoto and Hifumi can be gotten assuming you got them up some ranks before the trip - not sure the exact rank required. I was at rank 5 with Makoto and had her. Hifumi was only at rank 2 or 3 and I didn't have her as an option.
Ann and Kawakami require you to be in a romance, else you won't get them.

I got all of them as options on my second playthrough, but that's because I had them all maxed by that point, lol.
Interesting.
I only got Makoto (which is good, because that's exactly who I wanted lmao) and answered that I like intelligent girls the night before
Damn my Makoto was only rank 4. And I went platonic with Ann because I didn't want to be a playa (why I did that I can't say). What happens with Ann and/or Makoto?

Let's say you have enough confidant points to rank up, but an event gives you more points for that person. Do the points carry over to the next rank, or are they totally wasted?
It's impossible to know for certain, but yeah it seems like they do carry over from experience. Every time that has happened I've been able to rank up like thrice in a row after it.
They carry over. Points are "absolute", not "per-rank", if that makes any sense.
Protip:
If you have the hunger debuff when that attack goes off, it heals you instead of damaging you.
Honestly all of the scenes are kind of copy pasted quite a bit,
well besides the Ryuji one. You meet up, get some garlic shrimp, and then sit on a bench talking. In Kawakami and Ann's case, you promise to go back to Hawaii with them.

So I'm In December at this point and I just want to rave about
everything that went on during November. First off, Palace 6 was fantastic from top to bottom. The music, the puzzles, Akechi, and the tension of what was to come was great. Shadow Sae was a fun boss and I really liked the gambling element. The only part I was down on was the dark maze, but that didn't last too long.
Akechi joining the group was great, I mentioned earlier in the thread that it was pretty clear he was the traitor, and I'm glad the Theives picked up on that as well. I love his dialogue and general demeanor as you go through the palace. I really think his voice actor nails being a smug asshole while sucking up to the group and playing a role. I think someone in this thread noticed he was left handed and used that to connect him to the assassin at the end of palace 5? That's a cool detail.
The end of the interrogation sequence was also great, I loved Ryuji's "We got 'em"
at the end of the animated scene. With the white out scenes I assumed the Theives were probably going to pull one over on Akechi, and it was cool to see it play out. I assume selling out all your friends leads to the bad ending?
Anyway, I started Palace 7 and while the theme and music are on point, I'm not enjoying it nearly as much as 6, these rat sections are killing me.

It makes sense, I replied that I like smart girls and I had a date with Hifumi.
