Bad End.
It's arguably the shortest dungeon in the game but the most challenging, so it might still take a while depending on your skill/difficulty level you're playing.
I'm halfway through it according to the first safe room check in. That took about 90 minutes. So I'd say it's y'know, dungeon sized. Apparently on the small end but that's still several hours. Loads of enemies...
And no, social links are over now as I understand it.

Don't place any trust in that, you're maybe a quarter done with that dungeon by the first safe room.
Nah man ohya is the worst.
Only if you agree that Yoshida is the best
Ohya <3 , don't compare her to that trash that is Mishima.
Now now guys, both Ohya and Mishima are trash
I dunno about siding with him, just that

Mona is an asshole, so it isn't some one-sided thing
the fact that he isnt a romance option is the biggest mistake atlus has ever made
Yeah it hasn't been too accurate in the past. Ah well, it's okay anyway - I didn't play for a few days cos I'm pretty tired of the game, but I do want to see how it ends, so I'll just chip away at it in pieces.
Weirdly the turn the plot has taken in this last dungeon is the first time since Kamoshida I've been curious as to where it is going. I like the design of the place, the way the whole prisoner thing is actually relevant and there is a sense of foreboding which is cool. When Kamoshida showed up in the cell it was like seeing an old pal. 'Hey it's me, back from when the game held so much promise!'.
It also is reminding me a little bit of Nocturne. Dungeon feels like something out of that game and I'm pretty sure I remember the stepping on light tiles to unlock the doors being in that game too...
I'm pretty down on P5 overall but hopefully it ends at its strongest. Things are looking all right at the moment. The entire Shido arc was very boring and rough to me.

You're in for a surprise on how all ties up and how the theme falls in.
Finally finished it. I was disappointed with a lot of things in this game, but overall I still enjoyed it. It's just a shame that the story and most of the characters did nothing for me. I remember watching the credits for P3 and P4 and feeling completed gutted, not wanting the game to end. A shame this game didn't manage to recapture that feeling.
This is all true. That's why I like Ryuji so much as a character.
Agreed that's why I never fully got the hate towards Ryuji. He says and sometimes do stupid shit but his heart has always been in the right place. Guy is 100 percent in on everything.
Ryuji's all right. Doesn't annoy me, although nearer the start he did seem like he was going to be the heart of the team/game and then as it goes on he just kind of fades into the background except when he's angry about something. Excluding one or two notable moments, anyway.
I think people are taking what is supposed to comprise the comedic banter component of the team interactions between him and Morgana too seriously. They throw insults back and forth because that's the schtick between them, and then of course they are teammates underneath that.
September spoilers:
He could've been a lot worse.

September spoilers:
Morgana's little tantrum in September would've happened with or without Ryuji making a few comments, but Ryuji is highlighted cos he continues being jocular and mocking with Morgana not noticing Morgana is very sad...
He could've been a lot worse.

Mishima is the worst with his coat-tail riding. Doesn't excuse Ryuji from being a close 2nd though lol.
Checking my tumblr feed earlier i just remembered another Ryuji moment that people overlook, one of the random mementos banter has Yusuke saying that he doesn't have to keep a low profile because nobody talks to him anyway, Ryuji instead of mocking him instantly goes like "hey wanna hang out later?".
That man is a true bro.

What is this opinion
Ann being a model was a byproduct of her parents profession and being part American gives her a unique look to most of the models in Tokyo. That being said she's not really treated like a star or idol, she seems to be plan B at most of the photo shoots. Because of these things, and moving around a lot, she doesn't have a lot of friends other than Shiho and Ryuji to an extent. I think Ann is aware that she has sex appeal, its not been anything she's had a vested interest or control in. Thats a key part in what changes in her over the course of the game and her s link in particular. I grew to like that Ann wasn't super confident at first, she wasn't pretentious or aloof, or naturally great in school, it made her relatable in that regard.

Hmm. The Mementos Boss money thing is definitely at least partially deliberate.
. Though the extent it's been refined to may not have been.
Also found another reason to use Sandman ,
Wrong.
The paired high confuse bosses have one that only ever throws 1 yen.

Feck the Succubus in Futuba's mission and it's endless lullaby spamming and her incubus partner with dream needle
Wrong.

Remove all Mishima bullying.
He was just as much of a victim as everyone else, except that you never get a chance to actually be his friend, and instead you just make him worse and worse until he wakes the fuck up and develops on his own without your help. No personas, no friends, no magical protag dicking. Nothing.
Mishima is a low-key badass.
December/Late Game Mementos question
I'm clear of Mementos quests right now with like 18 days to go until the deadline for palace 7. Is there any more chances for doing the Mementos confuse trick or have I past them all? I don't wanna go too crazy with my money if that's the case.

Ryugi is top 3 characters in the game for me.
Im in december. Reaaally not sure if im gonna finish the
palace
Im in december. Reaaally not sure if im gonna finish the
eighth
Have you fought Mara as a boss there yet? I think his quest is available post Palace 7 and I'm pretty sure he can be confused. That and you may still have some confidant-related quests with useful bosses in them.

You people all probably chose "Ryuji's a phantom thief," didn't you?

I did... But he definitely would have said it if i hadn't.
Also, Sojiro is best dad... Felt bad turning down Futaba, but no way was i going to run the family dynamic by making it incestual.
... It just hit me that the name change from Pyro Jack to Jack o Lantern was probably a localization mistake in the sense that they didn't care about consistency with past games rather than Atlus correcting a traditionally inaccuracy name lmao.
I mean I was playing P3P the other day and surely yakisoba bread was called as such, and not yakisoba pan.

I'm #ryujididnothingwrong and EVEN I chose "Ryuji's a Phantom Thief." Come ON.
I was wondering why a bunch of users were calling Power Charge and Mind Charge, Charge and Concentrate respectively.

Ryuji actually had a really good moment with Yuske right there.
Nah, I'm pretty sure there are no such restrictions. Skill card learned skills are treated the same as any other skill in the game.
I don't think it's quite that simple. I think it's two-fold. Firstly, Jack O Lantern probably really didn't fit back in PS2 days due to text limits. Secondly, I honestly feel with so many changes and quirks in P5, it feels like Atlus is treating this as a fresh start to rename anything they can to a new "preferred" standard. Whether that standard is influenced by mandates from the Japanese side is another matter altogether.
Right, at first I simply assumed it was just Atlus USA deliberately giving him his "correct" name at long last, since Pyro Jack was most likely just a byproduct of strict character limits in older games, like "Nyalatotep" in Devil Survivor. I also believed that given that this is probably Atlus most 'mainstream' game ever in the west, they were treating it as a soft reboot for Megaten as far as skill and demon naming consistency goes.
But after finding so many localization errors and inconsistencies with past games, I can't help but wonder how many of these changes were truly deliberate and which were simply more oversights of a flawed localization. Pyro Jack in particular was very weird to me because inaccurate or not, he's such a recognizable demon in the series that it was obviously going to confuse many fans and IMO the change isn't worth it.
Then again, I could be completely off but it sucks that we'll probably never know for sure.

Anybody with the JP version know why Jack frost is the same name for both Black Frost and Jack Frost?
It says ジャックフロスト for both Personas.
It says ジャックフロスト for both Personas.
You can find it with other demons too.
Bugbear is "Bugs" for some bizarre reason. The lack of consistency is noticeable.
Lol never saw that.
...
I wish I could take screenshots. I took a picture on my phone instead but it doesn't look as good. I had a result screen where every single character leveled up as well as about 6 personas. Somehow feels like an accomplishment
No. Jack Frost is ジャックフロスト, Black Frost is ジャアクフロスト. It's a pun. Jyaaku is "evil" and sounds like Jyakku which is "Jack".
133 hours on normal
At least 10 of that was me leaving the game on and not putting it in rest mode.
Level 89 (didn't want to pay too much for special summons at the end that I wanted but were out of my level range so I grinded a bit before the final boss) so I was probably way over leveled but whatever
Maxed out all social stats
Including the mandatory confidants, I maxed out 14 of them.
Highest level persona was lucifer at 99
Compendium at somewhere over 80%
Also: Ann + Hecate + blazing hell + concentrate + fire amp = everything melted like butter
I really liked the game. Though because I didn't max everyone out it felt like the ending scenes were really empty because the characters were skipped over.
I'll probably play ng+ in the future just to get all these loose ends.
But not soon. I need time to rest from that journey.
Also, someone pleas explain to me the ending where Sae
? What?
And Sae should've been romanceable. She's the better sister. There I said it.

had Joker turner himself in at the end and they listed his charges but because they got that witness from the shido incident at the beginning of the game to testify they let joker go
