I'm way behind but I'll spoiler this anyway, early in palace 2 I was lucky enough to guess right on the Treasure Demon's weakness and catch him, and man is that an insane resource to have access to this early on. Having the freedom to spread out any of the 8 Ma- spells I want, then resummon the thing for 4.7k if I feel like spreading the spells out more, seems really, really good, even if I'm not yet to the point where I can burn through SP infinitely just yet.

I just got access to Mementos. Is it worth it spending a day to just go in and do one quest? Cause it seems like we have the opportunity to do more than one if we get them available.

You do. I like waiting for them to stack and just powering through. You can get some good money doing this and its efficient.

By the way, does anyone have a 2736x1824 screenshot of Persona 5's loading splash?

It's possible to do almost all quests in one run of Mementos.

The only reason you can't do them all in one is because some of them are gated behind other quests.

I try to line up two of them alongside my normal exploration. One is fine if you're doing some grinding, though.

You have to go to the Jinbocho bookstore, which I unlocked at least by hanging with Hifumi pretty early on into the Social Link, maybe Rank 3 or something. Once you go there, you have to buy and finish the three separate books sold there before the Speed Reading book is unlocked.

I only ran it 4 times. Once for the mandatory intro, once with 10 requests, then with 8 and finally with the last dreg you get at the rear end end of the game :argh:

Morgana really only complains about sleeping during the time between one palace's deadline and the start of the next one's proper mission, I noticed. That made July in particular a pretty awful month, though, of nothing but cutscenes, short one-beat days and then "Let's not do that today" over and over and over and augh. It's always kind of annoying and bad but it felt like it was almost all of July which is a bit much.

If I could fix just one thing about this series, it would be this. Goddamnit game, do not treat me like I am 6 years old. I will decide for myself when I am tired.

Also, the trophies and game guides keep mentioning videogames, but all I've found are DVD's. Was this a localisation change or something, or am I just not finding the game system?

The difference being that he's just asking for a favour and if he wanted to blackmail you, he could have done it well and truly by now.
