When can I form the bond with the Sun confidant? I held the stupid sign for him already, why didn't it unlock?

They did. There's a couple of instances where students say Ann's last name more like an American would and less like that weird "trying to be accurate Japanese but isn't" way present in the rest of the game.

So, there really is no shop that sells SP restore stuff? Only the clinic and it's an accessory (and the anemic vending machines)?
Sojiro's confidant lets you make SP items But yeah you can't buy any good ones.

But that takes time, right?
It's really weird they tried to go Japanese with the pronounciation of Ann, the not Japanese part of her name but not Takamaki, that actually Japanese part of her name.
I'm pretty sure you have to do it twice and one the second time it starts.
You can get Kawakami to do it if you've levelled up Temperance enough.
I didn't find her as terrible as Fuuka, or as damaging as Naoto. She joins late, but she manages to fit into the group dynamic fairly well, she has a solid Confidant, and she's ultimately memorable character. That isn't to say she's without flaws, but I came out liking her in the end.
Her niche in battle lies in how powerful her gun attacks are. She gains Gun Boost and Gun Amp, giving her the highest non-boosted damage output in the game (outside of the protagonist). Amazing during the endgame mini-boss rush. Also her regular gun is obscenely power (and also boosted by her skills iirc?)
welp, would have been happy if it was the case :
it sure is cool!
Maaaaaaan, Dorothy is too good. Atlus needs to take notes when it comes to creating NPCs.

Was that really the ending :/
we got a new car lets go for a drive
Is there really not another surprise final dungeon/boss cause this ending was kind of a wet fart

Her and Futaba should have been switched, I'm not sure how they could make it work story wise but having the
unplayable character come later

Both characters should have come earlier, Futaba's extra extra story focus thanks to stuff with Sojiro helped to elevate her late joining of the team.
Finally bought the Catherine and Raidou costume packs (the two I wanted the most and of course they came out a week after I beat the game), and they're so good! Catherine's music selection is awful, but the costumes are great. The Raidou ones though? God damn, they look great and the battle music fits the game great.
Also it's pretty impressive how Joker and Yusuke look great in almost every single costume haha.

Edit: maybe not.
The localization is 100% flawless and any and all complaints are overblown ok.

There, now it perfectly describes the localization.

Cool, thanks!
Please stop cherry picking, it's actually fairly easy to understand.
Here's my explanation:

There is no report (for the lost item) so you should fill one out? Report as in police report? Yeah Atlus needs to step the fuck up with localization. Even if I'm not noticing as much late game, it's terrible. Persona 3 and 4 were better in that area. The saving grace is the VA.
Is this when (3rd dungeon-ish spoilers)
Makoto asks you to come to the student council office? If so I think the context is supposed to be that Makoto made up a fake excuse - you looking for a lost & found item - to call you to the student council room.
This seems fine to me. No report has been filed so she's asking you to do so. I'm sure it would make even more sense in context.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
What dont you understand about it?
Palace 5
Hmm, something feels off with this one. I don't so much mind the palace itself, I'm pretty much blasting through it, I feel somewhat overleveled maybe even. Story wise though it feels the most rushed out of any of them...I don't quite feel the same motivation for bringing this guy down. It feels forced compared to the rest.
The issue isn't even necessarily whether it makes sense or not; the meaning can be worked out, but the wording is unnatural.
Why does she say there's "no report," but then ask you to start filling out "some paperwork"? It'd make more sense if she simply said "fill one out," unless there are multiple reports missing, in which case the first part of the sentence is incorrect. You can refer to a single report as "some paperwork," but it sounds more natural to refer back to the same word in the first clause via a pronoun.
I also think "report of a lost item" sounds kind of strange; again, it's not incorrect, but something like "lost item report" sounds a bit better.

Regarding the lack of motivation and rushing into the palace, keep playing.
There are heaps of problems with the translations but this is nitpicking.

Yep, the issue is rarely that the dialogue can't be understood, it just comes off as unnatural and stiff and takes a lot of life away from the writing.
It's hardly nitpicking when it is endemic to the localization.

Gonna need counseling after the amount of progress I just lost upon being ambushed on my way to a save room. FUCK.
Ouch. Times like this you really wish you snuggled up to Hifumi sooner. Amirite.

I mean... on one hand it was about an hour of progress, on the other hand that's an hour of doing the exact same shit I just did lol
Oh well. It just stung when I went back to the save room and saw that my characters were now six levels lower. uggghhh

I'm still not sure how EXP works in this. I'm trying to get myself up to level 51 in Mementos, but I'm gaining exp for my main guy very slowly. If I get 1000 exp after a battle, is that shared with all active and passive party members? or is it just active? what if party members die? Do only alive active members get EXP then?
basically, i have my main character i want to gain levels. what can i do to maximize my farming on my main character only?

Where are you in the game? Grinding levels isn't a particularly great idea unless you are doing it endgame or farming the reaper.

Well having made sure there is no true ending past what I got I feel safe in saying Persona 5 is an 8/10. It's probably the best game to get a new person started on Persona, but the story and characters are the weakest in the modern Persona games. Really caught me off guard because I was very much looking forward to this game and so far everything in 2017 has hit it out of the park. I got emotional at the end of p3 and p4 and didn't want my time in those worlds to end, at the end of P5 my feeling was as robotic as Makoto :| beep boop.
Hmm. Okay, I'm curious...since I feel like I'm nearing the end.
Yukari Takeba was on TV!
And I turned down Hifumi cuz I only have eyes for Mako-chan but I'm really unsure why I've been so stingy with the ladies, my P4 MC took everyone to bed even some of the more unsightly ones I think. It sucks cuz I like Hifumi.
Now Haru I don't care about but wow turning her down even made me a little bit sad. Poor girl has nobody in her life

I finally beat it. 120 hours. The ending was kind of short and abrupt but as with every game in the series, I'm sad it's over. Now what?
Trails in the sky 3rd chapter is out if you haven't played a trails game get on it
Only if Makoto is in it.

I mean within the characters themselves. You're just like, friends with someone, then it's like ayyletsfuck. There need to be hints dropped at like rank 5 and above. Instead it's just like whoa alrighty now this is an option.
