he's in the OP with his weapons and poo poo described, and while I admit I've almost literally just got to him he was introduced in nearly the exact same way Naoto was but on a bigger scale, which had to be intentional. It's pretty clear you wind up working with him.

Yusuke is good and I'll probably have all boys party because of reasons. I'm finishing up the 2nd palace but my stats are very low :v:

There once was a tiger-striped cat.
Cool, I finally figured out who the traitor is. WOW, I absolutely CANNOT believe it was goro the whole time. Goro, the dude who joins in the last moment and absolutely could not be more suspicious and obvious if he tried. Bravo atlus, this twist was magnificent, I doubt any human being alive could have figured out this showstopper.

He's good for most of the game, but when you get to like endgame stuff Ryuji just starts outpacing him

he was only like better than ryuji so far when he had mabufu and ryuji didnt have mazio or whatever the group one since you kinda need protag to fill the all weakness gap in dungeons and having a character who can double all is p useful if you need to kill a tough group

also makoto best character imo. of course the girl who dresses like a post apoc biker and punches people has sick nuke magic.

You never really need Ryuji to hit weaknesses honestly, after he gets Swift Strike you can just bring that to every fight and he's good, but he doesn't get it until like halfway through the fourth dungeon and Yusuke gets tempest slash a bit sooner which gives him a bit more damage over Ryuji on concentrate targets. Mind you when something that nulls or reflects physical comes up you're gonna want Yusuke's bufu spells more probably since his magic stat is higher, but that's really rare.

imo gameplay wise

Goro > Makoto > Haru > Ryuji > Morgana > Yusuke > Ann

this is in the endgame tho, yusuke is pretty useful in the midgame and ann is amazing in the early-midgame when midbosses are actually vulnerable to status effects

the game is pretty balanced around you using everyone what with the exp for benched party members, the fact that you can swap people out in saferooms, and the ability to switch people out mid-combat. you need to decide who to bring for bosses and stuff but for exploring you'll do a lot of cycling if you want to get the whole thing down in one trip.

I actually swapped characters mid combat during the fifth dungeon boss and it worked pretty well, but you might take some bad hits doing it the first time cause the gimmick is sorta weird.

That works too, the game isn't so difficult you'll ever need to swap characters that much.

yea fair, I keep forgetting with this one thanks to swapping being a lot easier it's less 'pick a team' and 'pick a starting lineup and a bench'

I finished Palace 5
Probably my favorite palace music/looks wise as I adore space themes but the general arc was kinda eh and it certainly far overstayed it's welcome. That post boss scene tho.

These dungeons are starting to become a slog (which I admit is partly my fault for wanting to finish them in one day) and I'm starting to get worried that the final dungeon is just going to be a even bigger version of SMT:4's nightmare mess.

Trust me when I say I hate cops, we all do. But if there's any good cop, it's Teen Cop. He may wear the skin of a pig, deep down inside beats the noble, scarred and rebellious heart of a teen.

If we don't trust Goro, are we any different from the cops

it's kind of interesting how in p3 and p4 you got the all-rounder party members extremely early and the late joiners were the ones with bizarrely specific niches, in p5 the last three party members to join you are all kind of all-rounders. and also in p3 and p4 the all-rounders kinda sucked (tho yosuke is at least Dekaja King for the early-midgame) but in p5 they're bonkers good.
