Doesn't the game tell you HEY NO TURNING BACK NOW CHAMP right before those choices? The only even mildly confusing one is Rise.

The game also makes it obvious when it explicitly states :frogsiren: WARNING: DECISION TIME :frogsiren: too.

Although I can see why it would trip up more than a few folks.

Apparently i was wrong about Adachi :unsmith:. I was semi wondering when that creepy kid would come back.

Also apparently i entered into an intimate relationship with Yukiko. :smith:

Now i know what i am going to do, get in relationships with all the girls i don't like. Then shatter all their hearts. :unsmigghh:

SyntheticPolygon posted:

Are you sure about that? Because from what I remember about Yukiko's S. Link, you need to outright tell her you love her to enter a relationship. So unless you picked that option accidentally I don't know how you could have entered into a relationship with her.

I told her i "liked her", it was only the rank 8->9, so i thought i had some more time. Then the game told me i was in an intimate relationship. Can.. i romance... Kanji?

Blundering into a Rise relationship is understandable but there is no excuse for derping into Yukiko.

And no Kanji isn't romanceable.

You told a teenage girl you like liked her.

But yeah, almost all the relationships kick in before the final rank I believe, though Ai is kinda tricky in that regard.

Also no you can't. No Yosuke or Teddie, either. I know. :(

The game gives you several opportunities to drop hints about liking boys and you can hug one if you play your cards right (probably not the one you want though), but you can date exactly zero of them.

Seriously the only way I can picture someone accidentally romancing Yukiko is if you literally aren't reading. She bashfully asks you how you feel about her and your options are 1) You're my classmate 2) You're my friend and 3) I really like you

You can't romance the boys in their social links, but most of the holiday events give you the option of having a guys' night instead of spending time with one of the girls.

There's something called Confirmed Bachelor where, if chosen, gives you dialogue options with homosexual overtones. In spite of the name and the description of the skill (perk? whatever the gently caress), he went through with it and was confused as to why he could hit on dudes.

Wait, someone accidentally went out with Yukiko? How? The only one that is easier to avoid (if you wanted) is Chie, because one of the two options is LITERALLY "Will you be my girlfriend?"

What the gently caress am i supposed to do against blue sigils?

They are immune to light, dark, and absorb fire, ice, wind, lighting. They start the battle by casting a reflect physical spell, and spend their time throwing aoe spells that do 150~ damage each.

The rest of the dungeon was cake, but these guys what the gently caress am i supposed to do? Only Yukiko has a spell to break their elemental defenses. But after breaking it fire does 30hp tops.

They're weak to physical attacks. You need to take a reflected attack if they cast Tetrakarn.

There is a Tetra Break skill that can remove all their mirrors in one go, but it's best to smack Shadows from behind and get the first turn as often as possible.

Every time you trigger a romance flag, the game says something to the equivalent of "There's no turning back now. You are now in a romantic relationship with X."

You have no one to blame but yourself for that :colbert:

Usually I'd have three sets of saves: One for the dungeon, one for right after I've finished the dungeon, and a daily save. That way I can jump back a couple weeks if really necessary and can savescum the current day if need be as well. With the skip function even a couple of weeks would only take a handful of minutes anyway.

You can also fuse a Tao Tie with Megido, that should work against them. It's also really good for killing those golden hands.
