Apparently you can get like Jack Frost dolls at the arcade but I aint wasting time at the arcade to MAYBE get a Jack Frost doll

The crane game doesn't waste game time, only your real life time that's probably not worth anything anyway if you're playing a 100 hour rpg

It'd be neat if they didn't go "I Have Something" for stealth spots. Cuz that's not "something". They're basically everywhere.

Wow, Death Rank 7 really kind of breaks the game's economy when combined with the Sun confidant. I can easily buy SP recovery items for only 50k, which takes no time at all to grind out in a dungeon thanks to the extra negotiation attempts from Sun. I haven't even started the third dungeon yet and I'm rolling in dough.

Ryuji just go find out about the guy's drinking place already, it's been like a good three weeks. Maybe it's because of all the plot?

Also got Makoto and she's rad already.

Huh, that's weird. Ryuji found that guy's drinking place like yesterday for me and I still have yet to finish the second palace. I have no idea what triggers it then

I've just assumed that plot nights are conflicting on days where he'd normally ring you up for it, I dunno. You don't actually have to help him track it down do you?

Sun is a pain in the rear end. Does he rank up every time you hang out with him?

I'm feeling a bit broke so I want to do the money tricks. Thankfully, I've already got Death at like 5 or 6, but Sun's only at 2 sadly..

Nah, nothing of the sort. He just texted me one night telling me he found it, and I had the option to do it in place of a night event

Hey, so I'm trying to avoid looking up too much about the confidants and such but I knew you get the temperance one around the end of May, I didn't and looked it up just to see if it was non obvious. Apparently you get a message on the 24th about it? I was doing dungeon stuff at that point so obviously missed it, will I get another chance at some point soon or should I go back? I do have a save from before that day but I would have to beat the palace boss again so would be kind of a pain in the rear end.

If you must blink, do it now.
Just started this game last night and I (sincerely) enjoyed the experience of getting lost in the subway terminal on the first day of school. I've done a fair bit of traveling in my life, but no matter how old I get I always find myself anxious and disoriented when navigating any kind of public transportation center for the first time. I don't know where anything is. What if I miss my connection? What if I take the wrong one? What if I'm late? It's a little thing, but I already like the game more for having indulged in that particular hang-up of mine (which I'm sure isn't unique to me). Really did a good job putting me in that headspace, being a newcomer, where a lesser game might've just rushed me into meeting Ryuji outside the gate.

Speaking of which, Sojiro, Ryuji, and Morgana are all immediately likable characters. I was worried P4's cast might've been a case of lightning in a bottle after how much I disliked P3's, but so far this game seems to be doing a bang-up job of bringing it to the table.

Gonna go out on a limb here though and guess that the coach is a total creep.

Went to fight the palace 6 miniboss and my current persona just happened to be weak to wind. So, obviously, the boss starts with a double Garudyne on Joker before I even get the chance to change personas. :shepface:

5/24 is just the earliest it can start, it'll happen anytime after you clear the second palace. There's more information in the OP

You get a series of events that lead into temperance after you finish the second palace. It'll be real obvious.

I haven't decided who I'll date yet, but she's a strong contender. Depends on if there's any girls she's better matched up with.

Makotowns, and I have no regrets about dating her, especially because it makes the interrogation rather funny as I imagine Joker trying to dodge the issue of dating his prosecutor's sister. :v:

In Palace 5, am I trying to take down the one who isn't the clerk or the one who is? There's a Director and a Clerk and the robot I found now is definitely NOT the Clerk, so does that mean he's the Director and I'd rather have his ID or is the game explaining itself poorly and I want to kill the Clerk instead?

I killed all five and the last one I killed was the first one I ruled out and he had the key. I was infuriated.

I mean they probably know her, but they need a direct confession from him to get her.

Time around dungeon 5 spoiler: That said, it's still pretty silly considering how insanely popular the Phantom Thieves get. This wouldn't be possible at the hands of just one journalist, Sae!
