Unless you use a guide it's very hard to max all of them on a first playthrough.
You have to make use of a lot of things people won't realise on a first playthrough. Like you need to take advantage of a lot of things which will boost stats without wasting time, like the plant in your room or drinking juice. You'd probably need to prioritise Fortune, since that makes levelling up confidants infinitely easier. Temperance should be focused on too since that gives you more free time. You'd probably want to either look at a guide for confidant answers, or reload saves to get the most optimal answer. You'd also need to plan your time.
In short, I don't particularly think it's the best way to play the game on a first playthrough honestly. Course, not everyone is the same.
Yeah. Evade buff + Evade debuff + Evade passive skills works great in late game. Somehow, eventhough bosses will usually cast Dekaja if you have Attack and/or Defense buffs they don't with Accuracy/Evade ones.
Yeah. He is the first person that treats you as a human being and puts the rumours into question (followed by Shiho and then Ann). For all the bad temper he has, he is really into helping others, including the Track Team. After Palace 4th, when
Futaba leaves her shut-in lifestyle he always gives her a warm and positive vibe too.
And he's the kind of person that will always offer to put his life at risk when there is a dangerous situation. Despite his flaws, I think he adds a lot of "heart" to the team.

I've beaten the Palace 5 boss. How far would y'all say I'm into the game? Don't get me wrong, I'm loving it, but man I've put a shitload of hours into this now. I don't remember 4 Golden being this lengthy.

God, I fucking hate Ruyji. Loud-mouth, obnoxious, and hung up on fame. I have a strong dislike for people like that in general. Fuck that foo.
Arguably the best voice actor though. Delivers some great angry lines. Mad props to that guy.

I'm going to guess that if I'm past that and his link is ready to advance that I'm in the clear, but if I did get stuck I guess it wouldn't bother me as much as some of the other links. Some of these requests take way too much time.
Finished the game yesterday. I feel empty
Loved everything about it. I'll start NG+ today to get the remaining trophies. Planning to do an MC + Arsene only run, but I'll have to research a little bit, as I have no idea how to do it lol.
Best Persona game.
I'd like to do one too. My plan is too try to level up Strength ASAP for the extra features, and exploit the boost Persona and jail feature.
And skill cards.

Had a great time with it, and now want to play 3 and 4 all over again, to try to figure out how it measures up.
He's certainly got the best in battle delivery.
Honestly? You're only about at 70%, if not a little less.
Yep, the English dub is fantastic and gets better and better. Not sure how anyone can call this bad. If you want bad, play BotW.
Regret.

I did use fast travel.
I think I left my game on pause for at least 10-15 hours overall, so you could shave that out of my time. But I generally just took my time with the dungeons. I really liked both the Palaces and Mementos and spent a lot of time going through and exploring every part of them.
I get that, and sometimes the choices are really good. Like the funny responses that I mentioned. But a lot of times, it felt like I was just essentially picking between "Yes" and "Yeah", and that just made me realize how unimportant those choices were.
You know what could've made the decision making in the game much more meaningful? If they had a Catherine-like system in place that would determine your character based on your choices and then had an effect on the ending. That could've added a lot of weight to your choices.

About 60-65 % I'd say, keep it up!
I managed to get the Homerun trophy my second try during NG+. Didn't even need the book which was nice. I'm worried about the fishing trophy tho. Seems like a pain in the ass from what I've read and checking the video guides. Giving me nightmares of getting the fishing trophy in P4G except the fishing mechanic in this seems less fun.

I'm at the same place and want it to end too, after 100 hours. I took a break for a few days.
I have a backup save just for it. Seems you have to fish quite a bit to get the points for the baits. I'm not sure I will bother while I'm doing all the other trophies atm. I'll most likely just reload that one save during the summer and just focus on fishing only.

I found the fishing trophy suprisingly easy, to be honest. Took 3 nights of fishing, 2 actual tries to catch it. I think you can do it in two trips if you happen to have rainy day/night. And actually cathing the guardian isn't hard, just don't be greedy with the reel-in so you won't hit X outside the red area and break the line.
- edit -
This was on a NG+ run with max social stats so you might have to do more trips if your stats aren't maxed.
Well, this gives me hope. I'll try it during the rainy days after I read the book that makes it easier.
Not really, there are barely any bosses with resistance to fire. Especially not after she learns Concentrate.

From my experienceI found Ann did more damage due to Fire Boost/Fire Amp personally, so I'd say she's probably the best assuming the boss doesn't resist/drain/reflect fire(I don't remember many that do on Normal...).
Joker > Ann > Ryuji > Haru for total damage capability. Haru is aburdly strong thanks to snipe and cripple, but Charge gives Ryuji the edge. Ann takes it over Ryuji thanks to Fire Amp and Boost alongside Sever damage spell.
Makoto I think actually ends up falling above Yusuke and Morgana with best equipment. Atomic Flare is Severe damage, and Judge of the Dead is absurd and pushes her stats too high for Yusuke to keep up.
That seems simple. I already maxed out all my skills.
Alternatively you can go when it's raining to bypass the proficiency requirement.
Do we have any confirmation of that pronunciation thing? Because I was looking at DC Douglas' twitter to see him responding to Nier Automata tweets, and someone tweeted him saying his pronunciation in P5 was great, and he answered "Thanks! It was pure luck, though".
Maybe it's only for party members? But that would be weird. Seems like they didn't really care that much if Douglas can just come in and say it however the hell he wants and it's fine.
Heard that Atlus Japan basically told them how to pronounce the names in very specific ways. The VAs said they didn't have a choice even tho they thought some of the name pronunciations were unusual.
Right, I heard that too, but apparently they only wanted specific actors to pronounce things in a certain way? Because Kamoshida's voice just said it however he wanted and it was fine, and there are clips of random NPCs saying party names differently from the supposed mandate.
It doesn't make sense. Unless they specifically wanted certain characters to say things in a certain way, and not the name to be pronounced in a certain way, but it's so fucking weird.
Not making sense and being fucking weird are not unusual from Atlus JP, though, so there's that.
Yea, not sure what's going on there. Seems like maybe there were some miscommunication or maybe they thought the performance was good enough and ignored following the mandate. It's really weird. I'm glad that it became less of an issue later in the game when everyone was just going by their first name basis.

Yeah, Yusuke and Morgana kind of drop off in usefulness late game. Makoto offers too much versatility.
That said, Yusuke at the very least is solid for the rest of the game. I'd easily use him over Ryuji until Ryuji gets charge.

Using the face buttons instead of the scrolling menu was an amazing idea from whoever came up with it. The only "problem" is that rush mode is a bit harder to reach but I can live with that.

It works out great here, and its good to see Falcom co-opting the control scheme for Cold Steel 3
It's one of those things that's so good not many people talk about it. It's just insanely natural and it works great.

I have just started the game, working on the first palace now. It's my first Persona game, but I must say I am very much impressed. The game is clearly a last-gen effort ported to current-gen, but the presentation (menus are amazing), the soundtracks, the art style, the tone of the story, the agile battle system, the character designs... it all just... works. It really is one of the best-looking games I have seen and a great pleasure to play.
Yeah, after I got the plat in Persona 5 I went back to golden and kept doing the same thing.
I didn't die thanks to it.... Fortunately....

I wouldnt say its completely natural, as it takes some getting used to. It took me a while to keep proper track of which function was on R1 and L1, and which button was for orders. However I don't think being slightly unintuitive here is a bad thing, as once you get used to it its always the path of least resistance to accomplish a task.

I agree, it's actually kind of a pain using a menu in P4G after putting over 100 hours into P5. P5 combat is so snappy.
Yeah, I was in the first dungeon when it happened. Nothing detrimental, just funny that it happened lol

hopefully without the PS3 in the way next time, they can stream your personas better and get rid of the delay while swapping between them.
In Palace 7 on NG+, almost got the Platinum. I think this will be my first non-Telltale Platinum? Really love this game.
I was tempted to get the Platinum in P4G, but Hardcore Risette Fan and having to use a guide for the Social Links sunk that idea.
Really happy I can max confidants without using a guide in this one, and Passionate Listener popped on my first playthrough.
