This and the scientist stuff made it feel to me like the game might be setting up a sequel story maybe? They definitely left some stuff open enough to expand on it if they want. It could also just be that Morgana, despite obviously being a cat, was NEVER going to fully accept that he is a cat.

Palace 7
Plz tell me it's over after I get all the invitations
You bored? But uhh, if you mean the palace itself, then not quite, got stuff to do after you get all 5 invitations.
If you mean the game overall, then lol no

Geez that was intense. I actually went through all five phases without being in too much danger and then he actually got me with Tarukaja+Tyrant's Glare when he literally must have had 100hp left, there was no visible HP outline anymore. I got my revenge in the second attempt, though, now I that knew about the sequential magic and the random buffs before the attack. They've done a pretty decent job at balancing the bosses and stat curve on hard going by the average level meter, even though I imagine there are some broken endgame demons as usual.
Also, awesome theme there for the final form. Meguro putting in some fine work.

I'm upto June, I'm level 20 and my confidants are around rank 3-4 and social stats are all 2 (except guts which is 3)
Am I tracking ok? I only ever study or read when I don't have a confidant to talk to, is that generally the way to go?
Also is it worth spending the 5000 yen on the

Made all these high level Personas to make two super guns, but then I realized I don't have any of the base component guns because I forgot I made two mediocre guns a long time ago.. I'm in the final dungeon so I can't go back to the one spot you can randomly get them. They aren't very generous giving those out. Oh well, reloaded earlier save so I didn't waste all that money.
Like I can't even
I wanna cry
There's not much after getting the 5th invitation really. Just save before getting the last one.

How much have I got left I'd I just started the last dungeon?
Could I finish the game in a few hours?

Sounds like fun! Minus the murderous rage part of course.
Wow you guys are amazing
Time is money, especially in a game like this. That confidant focuses on providing the player with more time do to more things. Unfortunately I ignored her, (along with the other time saver confidant,

The maid is well worth the time investment, some of the better skills in the game

I can't find It guy..
I'd say there's somewhere between 5-10 hours left, a solid chunk of which is admittedly cutscenes.
Awesome thanks! Trying to upgrade knowledge is such a slog, should I only worry about around exam time?

Thanks so much for the warning! Is free time a great way to raise relationships with your characters? That's what I'm most concerned about.
You're in the last stretch. I don't know how far in you are, and I don't know about "couple of hours", but you're definitely in the last few hours. Single digits for sure.

That's a relief. I'm at 105 hours now and none of the other games took nearly this long. Would be happy to finish out this weekend.
It's generally best to get Palaces done as fast as you can so that way you have as much free time as you can with raising confidant ranks and building social stats.
1-3 days to finish a palace, like 2+ weeks of free time until the story progresses more then you repeat the process. Also your team will nag at you every day until it's done more or less lol
There seems to be some lingering sentiment from P4 that each dungeon should be completed as soon as possible. This is because in P4 a lot of the confidants would be locked while the dungeon was open. This isn't the case in P5, though party members do seem to stop being available about a week before the deadline.
Advancing your confidant ranks with your party members will give them bonuses in combat, so I've found it best to spend some time doing that before tackling a dungeon. I'd wait for a day where I felt like I wasn't losing much by going (no party member confidants available, good weather, ect.) and tackle the dungeon then.
I can only remember one confidant requiring Knowledge off hand (MAX Knowledge, at that), but I'm almost certain there were more.

So I'm just about at the start of the second palace storyline in NG+ and a big focus this time around outside of maxing all confidants is filling out that compendium.
Does anyone have any tips on how I should approach it? I started with about 60% so I'm a good chunk in, but with Gallows fusion becoming available soon, I'm starting to think about how I'm going to get it done. So obviously it's going to be a lot of sitting in the velvet room to summon personas and then fuse, but that needs a lot of money. So the best option is the Mementos/Confuse farming method right? Is there any mission's boss that's preferable for that? What's a pretty reasonable luck stat to get the farming persona up to? Realistically, how much money am I probably going to need? Or should I just try and max out the 9,999,999 limit?
The second issue with this is going to be persona level, so I know I need to rank up the Strength Arcana so I can fuse personas higher than mine. Whens the best time I should actually focus on the twins? The rank 10 requires to be at level 51 right?

Welp. I don't think that's enough time for me to max out Haru then :/
No, you're on the right track.
Lots of people talking about 7th palace and endgame in this page...
Well, I just reached November
and I'm kind of freaking out how much I enjoyed the explanation of how the gang executed the whole plan.
Furthermore, that very first thing that got the gang suspicious in the first place? I totally noticed it when it originally happened, but there were so many red herrings before and since then that the revelation could have been something else entirely, but like...
This story is awesome I can't handle it!
Anyway, given the situation MC is in, I hope most of December can still be used to finish your confidants. I'm at November
now and, depending on their availability, I'd need 15-20 days to max out all my confidants.

GOD, the geniousness of this whole mystery expands beyond the game itself, into the game's marketing!

Agreed.
I got this big dumb smile on my face when Ryuji hears that the protag committed suicide in custody, and his look of shock changes to a shit-eating grin as he says "Got 'em."
Also, I was glad to get vindication for being a complete asshole to Akechi at every opportunity. I knew that fucker was up to no good.

Endgame:
Loki was better. Also, why did fake Igor only give him two personas if he wanted him to succeed. They're both op, but why would he rig his rigged game against himself.

Oh , for those wondering it's possible to get all non-NG+ trophies from a single playthrough. I wasn't sure it was possible to get the Guardian as well as all the other stuff, but it's actually pretty easy, you can get enough points for the bait on the first visit and catch it on the second.
Also found out fishing is where you're supposed to get Black Robes from in the real world section of the game but can't see having enough time for that.

Sorry, didn't mean that, meant that I'm pretty sure you can't get locked persona (eg not having the key item or S-Link rank) from Network fusion. You can definitely get new Persona and ones above your level.

Futaba the god!!!
Just finished Palace 4. It was very nicely designed, continuing from Palace 3 which was also great, but Jesus... This is the game to point to when someone doubts that you can actually have too much of a good thing. P5 does not know when to let go.
I can't say it was a bad dungeon at all, but it sucks that my final thoughts were "I hope it ends soon" while looking at the time every 5 minutes, when a couple of hours ago all I was thinking was about how cool it was, and how nice the puzzles and level design were.
And I didn't even do it in one session. It was one in-game day, but I saved and turned off the console to continue later.

This is a recurring problem in the game, unfortunately.
