So I now have P4G for Vita.
I feel like I'm not sure what to do. Lol. I'm in a castle and I'm trying to save the chick from the Inn. I feel like there's a ton of stuff I can do, but I'm not sure if I should? Like merging Personas? It should maybe I should train but I'm not sure where?
I like the music tho and the fighting is fun. It's my first JRPG ��
Just keep going upstairs in the dungeon, till you manage to get to the top floor.
But I understand how lost you may be, cause I was exactly like that the 1st time I played it. Be aware of this:
a) At the beginning you may find it pretty hard to beat certain enemies. The reason for that is that you have little Personas and tools at your disposal. Try acquring the most personas possible each dungeon you're in, one of them may have the type of skill that will grant you an advantage at the boss fight.
b) All the timing stuff is intimidating at first, but do not worry about it too much. You will have plenty of "days" to finish each dungeon... and once you get the hang of it you will notice you can finish most dungeons in just one day.
c) You may have already noticed that saving and healing are very limited resources. That said, learn enemies weeknesses, take advantage of that, try to ambush them by surprise the most you can, and only heal when necessary (but be cautious to not let your health run low enough so you get beaten in your next fight). But again, that's something to worry more at the beginning of the game, later on healing and saving won't be a problem.
d) Keep fusing your personas and get them stronger, but keep in mind that sometimes it's better to keep certain personas, even at a lower level, with certain resistance types, cause they can be your salvation at some specific fights. I'd recommend to have at your dispoasal a varied set of elemental skills, it's very important to have skills for every weaknessess.
e) Do not grind too much for experience at the beginning, except if you have big trouble at a boss fight. The reason I do not recommend it is because, since healing and saving is limited, things can get rough if you waste everything before reaching the top floors.
f) Try to finish dugeons in one day, cause the more days available outside dungeons the better since they will provide you more social link options and other status boosts. However, if things get rough and you lose your resources just go back to rest, restock, and try again the next day. This game has new game plus, so even if you are not able to maximize your stuff you can rest assured that you can in a next playthrough that will allow you better difficulty customization by the way.
g) Take your time to fully enjoy your 1st playthrough. I'd recommend to stay away from any walkthrough, except if you get stuck at something and needing some help. You will not want to be spoiled, and as I said before you will have a New Game Plus option if you want to do 100% or get to some of the secrets (some of them won't even be available at your 1st playthrough).
