I swear this is the most difficult dungeon for me. I don't understand the complaints with palace 5, the monsters were all easy. Unlike palace 3 where you have that monster that has the instant kill and no weakness.

Skull Cracker is good for this as it can inflict confusion and has a chance for a critical, being a physical skill.

I'm at the very very beginning of the
5th
the phantoms are already starting to doubt themselves but Ryuji is still going on about it. Hopefully someone will shut him up soon.
I'm worried about something though, and I wonder if I'm supposed to feel this way. Outside of
Futaba
finding her mother's killer
And when I say I don't care, I really mean it. Like you could literally kill off Ryuji or Ann and my reaction would be, "good riddance". Am I suppose to feel this way? Do you guys think the game and its characters could win me over later on or am I just not gonna enjoy the rest of this story?

Pretty sure Makoto's link doesn't improve charm
That said, Sojiro's social link gives kindness, but requires max kindness after a point. It also continues to give kindness after that point, despite it being worthless since you've already maxed the stat to get there

The Phantom Thief designs make me want the next Persona game to feature Tokusatsu heroes. Or something like Captain Harlock style designs.

They should go full
Sorry, I meant to say that the game told me the actual event it asked me to max charm for would give me points on charm lol.

Did hama/mudo get an accuracy nerf I'm 3 palaces in and I've never been able to land a hit with it nor have the enemies gotten a free kill with it.

Not that far yet.. but I'll be anticipating it now!
Omg thank you, yes! Any links to where I can buy?
And who do you guys think is the best dressed character in the game? I'm not far at all and only have the main 4. The MC has a nice casual flair, Ann's style is very dope and Ryuji stay fly!

Probably need to do her request if that's blocked out now.
Ryugi's can seem a bit childish but that's mostly because of the graphics and his terrible posture. Yusuke and MC are usually dressed pretty nicely, though.
I just finished the 3rd palace and it took me 2 days. I hated all the damn enemies that had no weaknesses....I used so much SP doing this thing. I wasted the 2nd palace easy peasy too.
I tried that with the
doctor
Yep, she'll be available after you do that one.
After managing my time efficiently, I only got 4 confidants to max before the last deadline so I felt dumb just wasting the time at the gym. I wonder if the training will carry over to NG+, otherwise, it's pretty much useless.
Thank god.
Thank god.

I can't agree with this at all!
The reason Greed ends up overlapping a lot of them is a) how basic the desire for control is to the human condition and sense of safety, and b) because the major theme of the game is rebellion against unjust power structures who exert that control, so there's always going to be an element of power/greed involved with the corrupt authority figures. I thought Lust, Vanity, Sloth, Greed, Wrath, and Pride were all well represented by their dungeons (or elsewhere, in Wrath's case), with Gluttony being a bit more nebulous (or perhaps just bland), and Envy being more abstract and harder to pin down, but still ultimately correct in that Sae lost sight of pursuing true justice because she was envious of the Phantom Thieves' popularity and success versus her trying to work within the system and not getting the same results.
And then they're all wrapped up brilliantly by the purpose they serve in the final boss battle.

Gluttony and Envy fell completely flat to me, so maybe I'm letting those two color my perception of the whole. Sae didn't really seem envious to me. Although your description makes sense, it's not really touched upon in the game. Her anger and twisted desire for justice stand out way more than jealously of an easy life. I mean, like I said, the connection is there, but it doesn't stand out, certainly not as a representative of the deadly sin. Kamoshida = lust and Shido = pride were definitely executed well. Madarame as vanity makes sense too.

What affects lotto results? Is it purely random? Just got 100,000 from a 3,000 ticket ¯_(ツ

Now should I spend it to start Fortune or should I buy 2 SP Regen accessory instead? (I'm at early July)

What's the point of this?
As much as I'm loving this game, I've got this constant thought in the back of my mind of what Hashino could be doing outside of Persona. I know there's his new fantasy RPG we'll be getting, but I think Persona should go to a new director next time around. Like, we already have the formula down to a tee right? I want to see him flex his muscles into something brand new. Don't get me wrong, this game is amazing. And I'm not knocking him for doing Persona and SMT for over a decade. I'm just saying that having him move on would be for the better I think, which is why I'm hotly anticipating his fantasy RPG.

Which Personas should I definitely try to fuse? I think that's the mechanic I struggle the most with in Persona

In the beginning? Or does the music change? I'm not hearing what's so good about it.
Mmm...getting pretty burnt out now. Might be time to take a break from the game, no rush to complete it, after all.

So I'm just about to go on the trip to Hawaii. Kind of feels like nothing is happening? Futaba is a cool character but there isn't any conflict going on anywhere really, and the game just keeps nattering on about the phantom thieves which - from the start - has been the weakest part of the story for me. That whole concept, it's really vague and flim-flammy. What a flim-flam. And it's pretty much the whole story so obviously I'm not loving it.
Anyway, Makoto is still cool. I liked her stealing the info from her sister's laptop. She should be the main character.
I'm assuming the plot will reach another gear at some point because there hasn't really been ANY development on the zombie people stuff at all, nor on Sae Nijima, since the beginning of the game. I wish Akechi wasn't a character.
Another weird thing is since I'm in september and I know the game kind of ends in december, I feel like 'well what's the point in ranking up all these people? by the time i get the perks the game will finish.'. Like the Chihaya one - by the time I get her 'boost confidant' perk, I'll almost be finished with all the confidants!
Ah well. Like I said, just getting burned out. I played like 12 hours on the first day I got this, now I'm down to about 1 hour a day, 60 hours in overall. I'll give it a rest for a few days.

Gluttony
I didn't mean she's envious of an easy life, exactly, just that she's trying to do things "correctly" and it isn't working, versus this group of vigilantes who are actually getting shit done by flaunting all the rules. For Sae it's important to keep in mind that jealousy heavily overlaps with resentment, which she held in abundance.
That said, I had to extrapolate more to get there than I should have, so it's absolutely a weaker representation than it should have been.
It's fun?

Oh my god.
I got stuck on geometry in the fourth palace, causing the MC to float in mid-air. I could not interact with anything and at first I thought it was just a puzzle lol. If I didn't have a Goho-M I literally would have had to reset my game to fix it.
Note to self, always keep a Goho-M in my bag to avoid bugs...

I didn't mean it in a mean way. I thought you were doing something that I was missing out on. I also have an Izanagi for no reason. (Looks cool)
Yes. His ride is amazing.

Just try to make sure that your persona roster covers all elemental damage as well heavy physical hitters. Personas who block physical attack is really helpful as well like shiki ouji.

I understand the feels. Replace Futaba with Hifumi though.

The whole palace, I think. It's just so perfectly fitting the palace owner.
