P3 and P4 had them drop more romantic hints earlier, but in P4 that had the effect of making the platonic routes seem more half-assed. What they'd really need to do to fix it is just make the confidants/social links more dynamic based on your responses so that they get flirtier sooner if you're flirtier and stay more friendly if you're friendly, but that would require more writing/budget/effort/etc.

I get that some nights they don't want you to go out, but in October, the week before exams they make you go to bed every night for bs. They even have mona ask you what you want to do for some reason. Idk?!?!? Sleep?!?! You won't let me do anything else.

The entire month of October kind of sucks.

It's so you can go in your room and save between the days/water the plant for kindness I believe, but yes, still annoying.
Makoto's entire Confidant story is about how she sets herself up for it without thinking too much about it though. I think it counts.
What I would like though, is the removal of this silly "answer the big question" flag at the end of the route, but rather make choices throughout the entire route count. Replies during events should contribute both to link points as well as romance points, and if you gather enough by the end it should allow you to get together, otherwise it should just seamlessly branch into a friendship route.
Buy all the DLC. IMO if you are willing to invest time to play the game again, you should be willing to invest money to essentially buy the game again. Open your heart, and open your wallet.

They literally did that in Persona 3 Portable for FeMC's route.
They didn't implement it in P5 because
It's a legitimate bummer.

Later in the game, you can have Haru grow plants that fully restore SP for a single party member or 100 SP for everyone.
Man, that's a huge step backward. I didn't know about the P3P stuff, but I was already disappointed when they removed the reverse and broken Arcana possibilities in relationships. As someone who is actually kinda into simulation aspects of dating sim stuff, the dumbing down and removal of fail states makes such relationships far less satisfying.
I would like this. It would also make the heavily flirtatious dialogue options early on in an S Link feel less awkward and creepy.
Points would be cool. I'd love to see that implemented. Oh and Atlus would either have to steal my fucking heart to get me to buy all the DLC or send me a Makoto body pillow.

Ok. I have six million in the bank and I'm at strength 10. Is there a guide or suggestion on what I can fuse to make the rest of the game a breeze?

Yeah I'm also thinking on which costumes to buy. I only have enough money to buy 3 or maybe 4 packs. P1's uniforms don't bother me that much so I'm definitely going to buy it just fot that awesome battle theme. I was also thinking either DAN or Ultimax just for how wacky/cool-looking the costumes are compared to school uniforms.
DAN has the best costume variety + good music combo imo. Just great all round. P3 has the best Morgana (I'm biased). Catherine has the best overall costume set but the victory music is poop. Raido has the best guy costumes, but disappointingly recycles the generic school uniform for 3 of the ladies. SMT If has the best accessory by far, especially for early game (+3 all stats, +20 SP). Ultimax is for edgelords.
Did you actually buy them all? Damn lol. I'm considering buying like two of them at most but it's hard. Honestly I just want the themes for some of them.

So I finally beat the Twins it only took me having
to do so. I lost a lot of money doing so but it was worth it.

I bought P3, DAN, Catherine, and Raido. No, I didn't buy all the costume sets. I buy what I want to use.
I did Palace 4 + bunch of Mementos with the P3 outfits, then I did Palace 5 + bunch of Mementos with the DAN outfits. Now I'm doing Palace 6 with the Catherine outfits, and I'll probably switch to Raido outfits for Mementos after this (can't swap since I bought the Raido set while I'm IN Palace 6 and I'm not fucking leaving and losing a game day just to look cooler lol). After that I plan to mix and match.
I think having the visual variety in dungeons and changing the battle music up every dungeon makes it more fun.
How does the music change work? Is it only when everyone is wearing the outfit or can you just change the music track itself regardless of the outfit?

It's for the main character. So if I wanted to change to P3 music, I have to change the dlc outfit of the main character only.
Unfortunately it's tied to whatever costume the MC is wearing. I wish there was a toggle or some sort of playlist you can set to "random" based on all the DLC you own, but nope. The implementation of the DLC in general feels poorly thought out compared to other JRPGs like Tales Of and Cold Steel.

Does anyone know where Eligor Is? I've searched the first and second tier and couldn't find him.
You can fuse Angel x Jack O'Lantern.

Ok, this game is starting to piss me off.
This game has some Ninja Gaiden 2 level type bullshit going on at the end. An insane gauntlet and then another form? Fuck it, I'm going to go get some beer and beat the shit out of what I hope is the final form. It wouldn't surprise me if there's something else in store for me.
Hell yes. Everyone who's finished P5 and craves for something with a similar vibe should get Catherine. It's one of my favorite games ever.
Man,
I rarely go my shit wrecked in P5, but getting the entire party mind jacked and then having everyone mabufudyne'd/megidolaon'd to death by a group of Isis was rough

My take too. In context, it makes total sense, as long as you're at least somewhat quick on the uptake. It doesn't strike me as a particularly awkward set of sentences, either. Definitely nothing compared to "muddled the explication."
Yep, reminded me of something I have seen happen in SMT games plenty of times.
There's four of them.
im just gonna say... at this point push though, the pay off is worth it.

Yes, I'm pretty sure. Palace 7 correct?

It wasn't that bad for me. I would recommend just looking up a guide ford those sections if you're having trouble. You're far enough thst dropping it would be silly.
You are kidding me right? There's no save room that I've seen and I feel like I was just at the end of the section but then I got smoked by the last regular shadow before the door out of the place. It's infuriating that I have to do the 2nd mini boss
Former Noble on the Pool Deck
After like an hour of thinking about it I decided to buy the Raido DLC. The theme is too good and the MC and Yusuke look great. The others can just wear their casual clothes. Those look plenty good, like Makoto's winter outfit.
Edit: Ok I bought the P1 DLC too. I needed the theme. I'm gonna hate myself in the morning. We needed Digital Devil Saga DLC.

How. The hell. Is Lucifer. SOOOOOO SHITTY?
I spent hours fusing all the necessary Personas to make him since I viewed him as the
"Ultimate" Persona and wanted to go into the final battle with him but then when I finally get there, I learn--apart from totally non-exceptional stats for a Persona of that level--he is weak to Light (which tons of enemies in the endgame use) and doesn't have a single resistance of any kind. Even Arsene was strong against something!
How can they expect you to be satisfied fusing a Persona that is more handicapped than the six Personas you used to make it? It's mind-boggling.
I've already played for 154 hours and I'm salty that the last 10 of that was spent grinding here right before the final boss for the sake of making a Persona that totally sucks.

But there's a save right next to that boss... and that section gives you shortcuts right back out to the pool and that save point at any time too.
