Hey PersonaGaf,
I'm on the last few days (1/27) of my very first (Normal) P3P run and I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask, but I have a couple of questions.
So, I think I got way too yoked before the Nyx fight. For most of January I'd been farming Malachite in the Tartarus so I could buy Armageddon while I ever so slowly cycled and leveled all my underleveled party members. Now I'm level 84, my two main Personae: Skadi and Cybele are 86 and 79 respectively, and everyone in the SEES crew is 76+ (except Yukari, but screw her). I killed Death on like 1/10 but never cared to get the reward because I had more cash than I knew what to do with. Then today I bought a bunch of bikinis and butler outfits just to see everyone's Tartarus reactions and accepted Elizabeth's cash. She failed to freaking mention that the more important reward was giving me access to powerlevel city...
So my questions:
1) Is this accurate?
Things that carry over to a non-Maniac FeMC NG+: Charm/Int/Courage stats, ALL equipment (for MC or party members, equipped or unequipped), money, compendium personae, MC level, Monad access, and maxed S.Link items.
Things that don't carry over: All S.Link progress, ANY items (gems, gemstones, stat cards, spell items like Armageddon, Nihil stuff that hasn't been fused, other shit like Weird Takoyaki), party member levels, Elizabeth quests, access to 4/5/6 Persona fusions, and any Personae you have on you.
2) Since I'm going to lose all my items, should I just dump all those King of Coins or whatever items into my core Personae and re-register them?
3) I'm assuming I won't be needing Armageddon for Nyx, so should I try to beat all of Margaret's desert quests first and save it for her?
4) I ran the Harem party for the first time recently and was quite amused at the Tartarus banter. Then I ran it again after I maxed all their S.Links and was even more amused. Any other party specific dialogue for the male MC? I've seen those two, all second years, all guys, and individual maxed S.Link with Mitsuru, Yukari, and Aigis.
5) Did I miss out on an S.Link because I was too busy trying to hump every female NPC instead of ranking up Kenji?
As a side note, I'd never played a Persona or SMT game before, but decided to try out P3P after how much I enjoyed Catherine. Usually it's a miracle if an RPG can hold my attention for ~20 hours, yet here I am 57 hours deep (not counting my million fucking restarts on the Jin+Takaya+Hanged Shadow Boss rapefest) and eagerly contemplating a FeMC run. This game is quite engrossing.
