Okay, so do you have to do a certain number where only one is available before you can start pulling in multiple? Like, at what point do I get requests for a whole bunch.

Basically I really want dat sweet exp bonus.

I can't really give you many tips on that, it's something you're just gonna have to gauge for yourself when a good time is.

I remember him being on that as well, but it was summer break and I think he's just available on some special holidays.

Seriously? Just Sundays? FMIGL.

Also, is there no way to accrue a bunch of Mementos before you go in so you're not wasting a whole day going after one guy?

sun always levels up when you do it. 10 times is all thats needed.

and yeah, you can bank mementos quests. go in when you got alot.

Even Shinya dumps on Mishima, it's great. Mishima when an 11-year-old can dunk on you you gotta start workin' on some things buddy

Y'know what, if Mishima invites you to go to "Dome Town" accept that invitation that's some free advice

So does this mean there isn't a spcific mission you do wherein after that, all mememntos are unlocked?

Actually, wait a minute, the bully thing isn't a chain of mementos wherein you can only do one at a time, resurface, advance with Mishima, and then get a new Memento target to attack, is it? Like, every time you advance with him, you get a text message giving you a new target, and the only way to advance with him is killing a new memento?

Man, I feel like I should be more conscientious about skill inheritance when fusing, I feel like most of my Personas have a bunch of unorganized and duplicate skills. Also I feel like there are Personas that I accidentally fused away without registering

You can advance him like 3 or so ranks every time you get a decent number of missions done, it ain't that bad, but there's gonna be decent stretches where you can't do poo poo with it. Also Mementos is story-gated, it unlocks more as you progress through the game.

She feels way more like a slightly younger sister than a potential love interest.

The first time a Persona enters the Velvet Room by any means, it's registered. Re-registering just overwrites its stats and moves (and even XP values) with what you have currently.

I had a pretty good stable of Personas for Palace 3 and Mementos after it but after fulfilling two Strength requests back-to-back it's all a mess now and I don't feel like resummoning them.

What's the 'power difference' in spells and physical specials meant to be? Is one Agilao = 2x Agi? Is one Sledgehammer = 2x Lunge?

Yeah, basically for the past couple of sessions I have basically fused poo poo at random or if it pointed towards one of the arcana I'm building an S-Link with. Then I go back and summon the highest-level ones to cover all the elements. I am also trying to always keep Growth on everything. I assume it will all work out in the end, like there's no way to lock myself out of fulfilling the warden requests right

You ever have that situation where you think you have a spoiler, but other people seem oblivious to it, so you aren't sure if you just read things wrong and it wasn't actually spoiled for you or if the other people just haven't got to that part yet?

Nah. If worst comes to worst, you can just go back to basics, resummon lower levels and fuse a custom version of higher ones til you get the right persona-move combo. It might cost some cash, but hey, nothing 10 minutes of grind won't get you back.

Basically I really like Ryuuji and the game is mean for calling him an idiot.

To be fair, he IS something of one, and I'm not talking about grades. Just one with a good heart. Only at the end of the 3rd dungeon, and already multiple issues would have been prevented if he could just figure out what a goddamn indoors voice was, or discretion. He's a great guy, but holy poo poo do I wish I had some duct tape occasionally.

Between him and Ann, Makoto's "holy poo poo, how have you lasted this long" kind of applies to not being found out in the real world too. :v:

EDIT: (pretty major spoilers) A man loving dies, we're the obvious guilty party, and our approval only falls...20 percent!? There, that right there, that's the social commentary in a nutshell. The masses could care less about life or death.

Finally got to interact directly with Goro and ahahaha I love this fool. Dude's just passively aggressively catty and sometimes not even passive about it. Truly a Pleasant Boy. please dont be mean to makoto tho, that's a lil mean my boy

Also the scene with everyone making hot pot at Leblanc was so choice, I loved it. Sojiro's such a pro dad and him and Yusuke having a sweet moment was really good. Honestly wish Yusuke crashed on your couch for a while longer

I'm really starting to come around on the main cast, all being good kids worked over in some terrible ways. They as a whole feel way more mature than the Persona 4 cast and I'm super into that

Yusuke really doesn't seem like a high school student. If ever I was going to point towards evidence that maybe this game wanted to cast college kids in the role, it'd be him, he really doesn't seem like a high schooler.

Yeah I can see him being like a college sophomore, with not just attitude but his talk of living in dorms or having an art scholarship. Also his fashion sense and his free-wheeling nature of just moving around and sleeping on friend couches. Extremely college move, Yusuke

Ryuji is probably the most realistic version of this archetype they've done yet. They even included some casual homophobia, so he's just like Yosuke. I like that Ryuji is just the group's butt monkey though, I'm kind of amazed he didn't get more poo poo for being a massive rear end in a top hat to Morgana..

When even Yusuke calls you a douche...
