Man, I'm abusing the hell out of the Fortune confidant. It's insanely useful to be able to cycle around with people who need rank ups and avoid the middle sections, I'm getting quite a few popping to 10 now.

 

[carlsojo]

Fuck Palace 5

 

[AlphaDragoon]

Just went into Palace 6.

Spoiler

So uh...do you get to keep Goro as a permanent member? This dude's got a lightsaber and just one-shotted a mini-boss for like 600 HP. I can dig it.

 

[Zolo]

WTF is a remora?

 

[Sgtpepper89]

Finally got my hands on this game. 30 minutes later and I already want to book a trip to Japan >.<

 

[Arthos]

Why do so many people hate Palace 5?

 

[Thud]

Why do so many people hate Palace 5?

Timer and unskippable animations in enemy territory.

 

[Sephend]

Why is it that when I check the Thieves Guild it says people have hung out with Ann and other characters on days that I can't talk to anyone? Are the social links more random?

Your party member links aren't available if you've reached the treasure until after you send the calling card. Some other links, like Moon for example, are reliant on other things(mementos requests in that case) and may not be available at the same time for everyone.

 

[texhnolyze]

Why do so many people hate Palace 5?

People just hate backtracking and vague hints for the puzzle is all. There's also the setting and soundtrack which are both underwhelming. It's like going a complete turnaround from the amazing palace 3 and 4.

 

[LiK]

Which one was Palace 5 again?

Ah, alright. I have to agree, at least on the music and puzzle parts. The backtracking isn't too bad, but then again I'm still in the middle of the dungeon right now.

Which one was Palace 5 again?

Beep boop.

 

[silva1991]

Man Metatron looks so hot in this game

Him for debilitate+spell master(it cost fucking alot of SP) and invincible Yoshitsune for attacks will make every boss cry on another NG+.

Which one was Palace 5 again?

Spoiler

Haru's father.

 

[LiK]

Oh yea, Palace 5 was a bit of a slog in spots.

 

[Philippo]

Is there a secret final dungeon like P4?

 

[Jintor]

Hopefully gonna finish up tomorrow so I can start a replay of bayo and maybe with any luck not fail my exams irl

Maybe wait a month or two for today... Depending how fast I can just crush through it

 

[Thud]

Spoiler

Similar construction yeah, although getting on the ending route is easier.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

WTF is a remora?

Haha, I had to google that. I advise that you don't.

 

[Auctopus]

I'm not really affected by games, usually feel pretty detached from most characters on an emotional level but the end of

Dungeon 4

put a little lump in my throat when they're

talking about the suicide note.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

What's everyone's level by the end of the game (normal difficulty) ?

Is it even possible to grind to the level require to summon these God-tier Persona? I'm currently at Lv 63 after beating the December palace boss.

You can bypass it by leveling the strength confidant and pay the money to bridge the difference in levels.

As for level:

Spoiler

73 on Normal

 

[Vitanimus]

I just want to double check something the game somewhat explicitly told me. 11/25 spoilers:

Spoiler

When Morgana says you should strengthen your bonds with everyone, is this the game telling me I should finish up my confidants first, and put off completing the palace until I'm absolutely finished with everything?

Thanks!

Level 85. The final area is a pretty good grinding spot for those who didn't use the reaper trick.

You can if you want but there's no repercussion for not doing so.

Yeah I figured that's the only way, but wouldn't it be freaking expensive to get say- Lucifer?

i'm at 80 hours and only at palace 5 [hard]. this will take a while.

Strength confidant 10 let's you pay to fuse persona a higher level than yourself.

I was 79 and quite OP for end game but only because I killed reaper twice, would have been like 67 or so otherwise.

You can fuse high level persona at any level if you have lots of money and the strength confidant ranked up to 10

 

[Hystzen]

The whole Becky scene with Ryuji and Mishima was hilarious i could see my freinds in same situation and the responses would be same

 

[FelipeMGM]

Im 60h in right now and of course I have some issues with the game, but Im pretty sure this will end up beeing one of my favorite JRPG's of all time

 

[SuperBanana]

Damn, Ryuji has some serious anger issues. He gets so mad over everything.

"Hey, go to this"
"WHAT? THIS IS BULLSHIT! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? THIS PISSES ME OFF!"

What level is the Reaper?

And would there be enough money to get something like Lucifer, who requires 5 other god-tier persona to be summon?

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Wow OT2 already, that was fast.

 

[cheesekao]

What Reaper trick?

You basically go into mementos when the "Flu Season" warning is up, wait for the reaper to appear, and hope that he's suffering despair. If he isn't, you can just run and wait for him to appear again. Shadows suffering from despair will kill themselves after a few turns and the Reaper gives tonnes of exp (70k+ IIRC).

Reaper is probably 99 but I did the exploit where I waited until he spawned with despair.

As for money, it depends on you. You can make loads from confusing bosses in mementos and selling treasures. I kinda wish I started NG+ with more money, I only had 160,000 and that's not enough. Should have grinded a bit, gotten close to a million, fused high end shit so that it's added to the compendium for me to buy the next time around and then bought it in NG+.

Yoshitsune with near full immunity and charge is the only thing you need for the most part though.

 

[AXE]

Don't know what I expected with the game but it seems pretty ok. Stylish and I rather like the idea of the Shadow-self. Wonder if they can build on that as the game progresses. In the first Palace I guess, and for the last time I reckon.

Kinda wished that the music would be on Cowboy Bebop level but thats always silly. Nothing can top Kanno.

Not sure how I feel about going through similar Palaces. The game feels very small with the animations and locales and all. Guess they spent 90% of the budget on the menus and cutscenes.

 

[Weiss]

On 9/22, got Chariot, Lovers, Temperance and Priestess maxed out. Still trailing on Emperor and Hermit and haven't started Tower. Am I boned?

 

[Raxus]

Am I wrong in thinking once you reach a rank up it is useless to hang out with a character until you do the rank up scene? I am lagging behind on a few links and it upsets me.

If you don't hang out with them, they will never rank up unless you use the fortune teller's affinity reading.

The palaces are wildly different in terms of themes, music, aesthetics and design. You are essentially in an imagined world, think of the possibilities.

I get that but I am saying the random invites and dual dates WHEN they have a rank up waiting.

It often feels like I rank them up and I still have to bond with them further in order to level them up despite having put 3 notes into them before ranking them up.

The Reaper thing sounds like it'll take forever though lol.

I guess I'll just have to grind abit for the last dungeon.... At that point I might as well switch to Easy mode temporarily right? You'll get exp and money faster.

I missed tha5 damn

Oh right. It's pointless to go out with people that can be ranked up since the relationship points don't carry over to the next rank. Still, save scumming is a thing so just accept the invite and load back your save.

It often feels like I rank them up and I still have to bond with them further in order to level them up despite having put 3 notes into them before ranking them up.

That's just how the game works. Just because you got 3 notes doesn't mean it's an instant rank up.

Takes 5 mins to spawn him and once he does it takes 1-3 min to get a kill provided you have the star confidant ability that allows you to escape battles easily. You just initiate fight, if he is despaired then wait 3 turns if he isn't then escape and restart the fight immediately. Repeat until he is despaired, doesn't take more than a few attempts for it to appear.

He gives 76,000 XP for all, if you have moon ranked up to full

[Zolo]

I seem to be missing the "Who's Been Assaulting People?" and "Man of Many Faces and Debts" quests. Any chance to still get them in September?

 

[Rixxan]

I love how the Personas start to look more and more fierce as you attain higher levels

Also, Palace 4 is fantastic - incredible music, great layout, interesting premise on the heart stealing - just excellent

You need to work the flower shop job to get the assaulting people one.

 

[silva1991]

Got Odin with severe thunder to one and all with elec amp/boost

Also Got Baal with both severe wind to one and all with wind amp.

Now that I have Alice with her "die for me", I'll probably buy the persona with samsara too.

Man I can't wait for Thanatos DLC . His special almighty attack sounds good.

Holy grinding batman. I finished it at 70.

Nah man. The spot before the final boss is a really good leveling spot provided you have Yoshitsune with auto-mataru.
