The latter
Ready to send calling card for december palace. Got through it in one day, first time I really had to bust out the SP items.
Overall I thought it was a lackluster dungeon. The mice puzzle was inoffensive, but not very interesting. The dungeon itself was just a lot of cut and paste of the same room, and most of the boss fights weren't anything special. I'm hoping the treasure boss makes up for it.

Hit 93 thanks to the Reaper. Gave me a bit of time to think about
is intentional. The Reaper is literally a manifestation of the human fear of the inevitable end in the collective unconsciousness it seems weird it can
. But then again having a bad
can make people
Boy are you in luck. The boss is pretty great in every possible way.
I found that puzzle okay because it's one of the few sections where you're genuinely likely to be afraid of getting spotted and fairly likely to get spotted too. But it certainly outstayed it's welcome. It got to a point I could see it coming by the floor layout.

I just finished the second palace....
. Can't wait to see what happens next. I'm hooked. Palaces can be super frustrating though! I got killed at least 4 times in the second one alone cause of shadows bum rushing me XD.
The boss Madarame was a pushover when I reverted my saved for healing items

It might just be me. But it feels like I miss so many physical moves in Persona 5, especially with MC. Maybe it's my rotten luck.

Physical moves have variable accuracy I think. The high multi-hit target all moves in particular seem to have absolutely dreadful accuracy. It also depends on your Persona, AGI effects your hit and dodge rates.

Now when I think about it, yeah the multi-hit moves seems to have pretty low accuracy.

I do it vs bosses(currently blasting my way through NG+), a bit annoying to do it against every enemy!
Normal enemies don't really need that much damage though. But killing the second Palace boss with both Ryuji and the MC using a multhit attack was quite easy.
So like P3? Where I just felt like the difficulty was exactly the same, but they made things like compendium costs prohibitively expensive.

I'm enjoying the game more now than the beginning 30 hours (I'm about 60 hours in). I think some of the later characters are much more interesting, fun and bring some nice banter to the group.
I'll probably get dragged for this but it kinda reminds me of FF13 how long and tedious the tutorial section is in this game lol. Also I hate Ryuji as much as I hate Snow (which is a lot). And too much dialogue about concepts which we've heard hundreds of times. Probably my only critiques of the game! (minus bits of homophobia and sexism nn).

Definitely. Ryuji and Ann have no chemistry and virtually only address each other to bitch against one another, not to mention Morgana being a complete ass to Ryuji 90% of the time, so the beginning of the game is essentially bickering.

Belphegor appears to draw pleasure from an all-out attack finisher and I managed to make an off-screen shot:
I should be too old to laugh at this silliness but yet I do.

sucks that there is so little time to use the cool looking endgame persona, so much work went into them. i hope there is another opportunity in the next nocturne.

Amazing.

Ha. Kumbhanda also has a pretty eyebrow-raising pose after an all-out attack.

Damn, I wish I had more time. Currently investigating leads to gain access to Palace 3.
Have enough guts to use the maid service now, I love how awkward it is.

So, is there a point to hanging out with someone if Joker thinks "I don't think my bond with ???? will deepen just yet"? Before I thought that was the result of messing up answers in a previous date so you had to waste more afternoons to fix the relationship but I nee confirmation.
You get bonding points to push them up to getting to another rank next time.

Most of the time it'll allow you to progress that person's confidant the next time you hang out with them.

Sell it all.
Yup, sell all Treasure. It's just for money.
Fully maxed. I'll give that a try.
Huh, didn't know that people complained about that; I didn't follow much of the pre-release stuff. The delivery of Ryuji's battle lines in general is the best by far. That (along with the fact that he's one of the most powerful party members) made him a mainstay in my party.
as a subtitle it looked like garbage especially when the shit localisation narrative was in full swing. ryuuji's va really sells it tho

Death Arcana Rank 10 spoiler:
Jesus. The voice acting for the kid is so bad.
So the game is over. Credits have rolled. I now feel empty.
Palace 5 was the only part of the game that felt like a real chore but I loved everything else. I have zero issues with localisation, I don't get the issues but each to their own.
It was an incredible experience and something I'll never forget, it was my first ever Persona game. I bought it on release and have finished today. 5 weeks of solid playing while fitting in work and responsibilities around it.
It's my game of the year. This is my memory, this was all for me. Loved it.
Bye thread, bye fellow Phantom Thieves. Now go to sleep!

Also FYI make sure you have a Persona of the same arcana as the confidant as it nets you 3x instead of 2x points, for both bot non and rank up events.
Also anyone else think the pacing of October could've been condensed into like one week? They take way too long to stretch the plot out which really doesn't add much IMO resulting in your free time after school being unusable.

I don't remember October being that bad. Earlier in the game I was getting frustrated with do-nothing days but by October I was seeing how quickly my skills and confidants were progressing. So I didn't mind going on a plot drive for a bit. By the end of the game I was scrounging for things to do, especially at night. Iwai wound up being the only night confidant I didn't max. Day-wise I think I just had Yusuke and Tower kid left.
So true, i got this same feeling from both persona 4 and 5 which I just finished it as well and now i'm going to play persona 3 because i love these games so much.
I think it's just because there's loads of story stuff around that part. (September/October spoilers)
You have all the scenes helping Futaba, then you have the trip to Hawaii, then you have Morgana's existential crisis and Haru joining.
Honestly I'm like you in that I find the early months more annoying, where you're entirely limited in what you can do.
I had a couple of things ruined by this as well.
