Man, what's up with new enemies spawning right in front of you right after coming out of a battle? This has happened several times already, sometimes I get hit before I even have a chance to move.
Anyway, currently in the fourth palace, visually it's a nice change of pace.
I think I'm progressing at a pretty good pace with my confidants, having lots of experience from the previous games definitely helps but I'm not deluding myself into thinking that I'll manage to max them all.
Anyone achieve that on their first playthrough without a guide?

The higher percentage that the palace's alert level is, the higher chances of enemies respawning.
Also, did you trigger the curse or something by taking the orbs in the 4th dungeon? It tends to have that enemy respawning effect too.
If you fight an enemy that's standing near another enemy, the enemy that's nearby will despawn when you start the fight, then respawn again after your fight. Sometimes it'll respawn after you move away a little.
Maybe it's that?

Alert level was 0%. Don't know about any orbs, haven't reached that part yet.
Maybe, it's a weird design decision.

I'm kind of half way done with palace
and I'm kind of just exhausted by it. It's not even hard for me, it's just boring. Dude's shadow isn't even popping up.

That shit definitely drags on but if you've hit the point of being exhausted by it you're almost done.
It's not very long, but there's only one save point in the middle. It's the shortest dungeon by far.
There will be some story stuff at the bottom, then you'll have just a small bit of dungeon and a pretty intense boss rush at the end.
Ah, OK. That's good. I'll probably get to the middle today then finish things tomorrow.
Is there a way to go back to the clinic and buy HP items? I've got 2 Somas, Curry and Coffee so SP isn't an issue.
Just quick travel to the top of
Mementos and go to the door. The game will let you go to the clinic and the weapons shop.
Also, you shouldn't need too many HP/SP items because Caroline (who is standing next to the velvet room door at the start of the dungeon) will heal your SP and HP for free whenever you talk to her.
Thanks! So I'm assuming there's safe rooms like always. Backtracking all that way sounds like a pain.
I don't want to get into details, but in the main dungeon proper, there's one safe room about halfway down, so you'll have to make it there. It's not as long as you'd think though, but it's a tiny bit of an endurance run.
Final dungeon is 100% linear and very straightforward.
I'm in that safe room right now. Maybe I'll have time to finish tonight.
I was surprised when I asked about progress in that safe room and they said I was halfway. Much shorter than I expected.

Those floor puzzles are super forgiving too. I was really surprised by that.
Without spoiling anything, while it's not very long, it's also longer than it appears!
Lots of mixed messages here! Hope it isn't as annoying as you seem to imply.

I think I have about 2 letters of introduction. Got to that casino looking area and just stopped. I'm level 60 I believe...don't ask me why I made Trumpeter, but I did of all fucking things.

I did all my grinding in my first game in the last dungeon, up to level 93 to fuse Lucifer. You can travel to the start for free health/sp/bullet recovery, and the encounters suddenly throw loads of experience at you. If you feel under levelled at any point you can easily make up ground end game.

When does the last door of Mementos unlock? I got to the end of Sheriruth or whatever and it's still locked.

Rivers in the Desert convinced me that Persona team just needs to go all out and make a rhythm-based fighting system a la Mother 3. Imagine how dope that fight would be.
The average levels that you can check from the touchpad show the average level at the end of the day, right?
I was worried when I entered the final day at level
65 and the average level said 75. Now that I'm in the final area and already picking up a few levels, I understand why the average level is 75.
Wait,
Caroline gives you bullets too!? Sweeeeet.

Really? :O That's some pretty cool details.
Yesssss I used this team as well and it worked wonders. Ann and Morgana helped out by healing the team after fights
I'm really surprised at how strong physical attacks are in this game. I never noticed them being quite this good in previous Persona games.
Ann not having a physical attack really hurts her usability when you want to conserve SP usage, which is most of the time.
Baton Pass to Ryuji > big physical attack is just so good.

Yep. There are a few demons in the area that don't carry any weaknesses, use down shot with impunity!
Not annoying at all. You'll see what I mean.

Yeah, this was my go-to party for boss fights. Loooots of damage dealt by Ryuji and Yusuke.

I used Ann a lot cause I liked her but in endgame she rips with concentrate + severe fire damage she learns. Dekaja is also very useful.
Yup. I switched quite a bit but Ryuji + Ann + Makoto was my jam.

I'm in the final area after Palace 7 and my fucking GOD I am ready for this game to be over. This area is complete garbage. The enemy placement is outrageous, the puzzles are mundane, and I'm goddamn sick of getting ambushed by the mind controlling enemies because they spawn in front or behind immediately me after I kill another shadow. The brainwash me and I just sit there waiting to die because there is not a single thing I can do. Fucking trash.
Edit; when the fuck do I get a chance to save?
Edit 2; HAHAHAHA JUST DIED AND LOST PROGESS VIA NO SAVE ROOMS. Lol yeah I'm done. I feel insulted by this atrocity of a final area.

Game is slow as hell, god damn. I loved the other Persona games but I don't recall them being so meandering, and I'm only 15h in. Game'd be amazing if half the dialogue was cut.
The dungeons seem to be a big upgrade so far, so I hope I'll get to play more palaces and
(or whatever it's called) in the future and less talk. 70/30 in favour of fighting would be nice. So far it's been more like 30/70.

I honestly don't think I was ambushed a single time in Palace 7, except once as rats.

If you maxed Strenght's Confidant fuse Yoshitsune with some decent skills and you'll crit/destroy most of the enemies in the area.
I think he's refering to
the last Mementos section

Welp it's too late to do that. I didn't max Strength so I gotta continue ripping my hair out
Yeah I was confused thinking they meant Palace 7 too lol, makes much more sense now. That area was difficult for sure and I think it's the only one where I got ambushed and got more than one game over haha, but I liked that it pretty much forced me to equip the right persona always.
Edit: Can't you not continue with the twins' request on the last day?

Infiltration tools that eliminate your presence and lower threat levels are extremely helpful at the final dungeon

The best part is when shadows arbitrarily spawn behind you. I love it. It's great.

Can't really do that when they aren't there. Then when you turn around, boom.
You keep thinking this game is going to end and it doesn't. This is so exhausting.

Yeah, even tho I feel like they could have cut some hours of content towards the latter half of the game. It was amazing. I just beat it and man the feels. I feel like I'm saying farewell to some amazing people

Quick question: IS there a penalty to dating both an adult and student in this game? Do you still get all the events if say, you romance Tae?
Drillary Clinton

You can romance as many people as you like and their I is a
different scene near the end of the game[/]. I don't believe there are any actual negative gameplay ramifications.
End game question:
I believe I am about to fight the final boss (have done the Velvet Room stuff, and have navigated up to the Shrine). However, my SP for my party is kinda low, and I do not have any SP healing items left. They were all used up in Shido's palace and the depths of Mementos. Am I shit out of luck, or is there any way to get myself fully healed up at this point? I know that there's two forms to the final boss so I would like to go in fully prepared.
You're able to fully heal HP/SP and get bullets by talking to the Velvet Room attendants at any time while in Depths of Mementos and further.
I am at the save point outside of the shrine area (I am guessing it's the final save point?) I don't recall their being a Velvet Room point there, but I may be mistaken (I got to that point very late last night). Otherwise, can I just fast travel to a different point in Mementos and use the Velvet Room and then fast travel back?
I don't recall a shrine, but the game actually states when you're at the final save point of the game, which by the way has 4 (or was it five?) mini bosses before it, so if you haven't fought those you still have a bit more to go.
But yes, aside from there being a Velvet Room door at the beginning of Mementos' depths, you can also fast travel to the entrance of Mementos proper to heal there if you want to.
