Kanji also didn't have the follow up attack that instantly killed enemies and that game had follow ups trigger significantly more than P5.

I've just got access to the doctor and the equipment shop. What should I be buying for the first palace? I only have 6k yen (+ 5k that the blonde dude gives me).

Same. I appreciated the game characterized Yusuke so him being socially awkward wasn't his core shtick. He's generally very wise and self-reflective and despite his serious nature, he comes off as one of the more compassionate members of the group especially as the game goes on

I like that social awkwardness is a recurring theme but not necessarily a defining characteristic

Yusuke totally wanted to see Ann nude and the game plays it straight so I'm not sure why people think he's gay. I seriously don't mind (or care that much) but when she's removing the layers and stuff he has a lot of internal "no I... I'm doing this for the art... I can't let myself get carried away!" lines as well as him getting flustered to high hell despite her awful acting.

I totally interpreted that as his being grossed out by being so near feminine undergarments, and having to psych himself back into his rationale for doing it. I didn't even think it was ambiguous.

the protag can do good magic damage but none of the party members are really optimized for it for one reason or another

Sounds kinda like SMT4, then, where Flynn could be amazing at magic but you couldn't really do that with any demons, while there were plenty of good physical or gun demons.

Don't worry too much about buying a lot at either yet. I'd say you probably never need to worry about melee weapons or guns--your weapon/gun has no effect on physical skills (like Ryuji's Lunge skill) and beyond the first Palace you're unlikely to be relying on physical attacks for damage anyway. I'd say focus on armor if you want to buy anything.

I like Harus animation for swinging around her loving battleaxe. It's clearly kind of overlarge and unwieldly for her but she's way into axe murdering dudes so ya know whatever. You go girl. :unsmith:

The 50mg ones that restore 50 HP. That's all you really need right now. I don't think you're going to run into a lot of status effects for a while and by the time you do, Morgana and/or one of Joker's Personas will be able to heal some of them.

Check vending machines for SP-restoring items like Endorph said, too. They restock once per week and they're pretty cheap and nice to have for the first dungeon.

I definitely saw it as him getting nervous as she removed more and more clothes. Whether that means he's straight or gay or bi or anything is super up to interpretation though.

Nah, don't worry about it yet. You'll grab a couple of revival items as you go. If someone goes down in battle, they'll be revived with 1 HP at the end, so you only need revive items for in-battle revives.

One note: if you're unfamiliar with Persona games, remember that if Joker goes down, it's game over, no matter what. He's the most important one to keep alive. Even if everyone else is at full HP and you have like ten revive items in your inventory, Joker hitting 0 HP is game over.

I don't think anything in a recent game has made me laugh as much as (Yusuke s-link spoiler)The "Jesus" pose

Near the end of the game, going to really miss this crew :(

Also (MASSIVE endgame spoilers)I love how this game kind of trolls previous Persona players, with the voice of Igor purposely being different, and Akechi almost identical in name to Adachi

Alright. :dance: Yeah I played P3 and P4 years ago, just seem to have forgotten a lot of things, plus not sure what has changed in P5. Vending machine sodas for SP were always a must get in P4, definitely gonna look for those.

50,000 yen is way, way more valuable than a one time SP restore. 50,000 yen is how much an accessory that basically gives a character infinite SP costs.

Oh hey, (lategame post-palace 6 spoilers) if you gave Goro a good accessory, like say an SP Adhesive 3, it dumps it back into your inventory when he leaves the party. Presumably armor too, though I'm not sure because I ganked his suit for its Evade on Joker and gave him a generic thing I have several of.

Yet another instance of this game curiously avoiding doing mean SMT stuff.

Morooka was unironically one of the nicest and most likable dudes in P4.

And then he gets iced by some lovely kid braining him with a CRT or whatever the gently caress Mitsuo did to """copycat""" throwing dudes into the TV realm.

I guess Endorph was trying to say when Yosuke peed the first time they entered the TV World, it was on the first victim's grave? Which was metaphorical if anything.

Oh I forgot that. Also that Yosukes piss ended up being important enough to find the end game dugneon.

I thought that was just the P4 villains obsession room and not really a grave though
