I'd been thinking to myself that the palaces were supposed to be themed as classic caper locales but then I got to level 5 and I can't really think of any good heists set on a space station.

Notes just denote how much approval the answer got from the person. Not every dialogue choice has the ability to generate approval though.

If you have a persona of the same arcana then the range is 0-3. If you do not have a persona of the same arcana then the range is 0-2. Of course for some options there is no way to actually net any points.

Some people need the soothing sounds of a fan or rain to help fall asleep.

There's also some people who fall asleep to the blissful sound of a chocolate fountain running 24/7 in their dusty attic bedroom.

Really wish I had known earlier that you can hold down the square button on the map screen and it will show where all the confidents are located by name, and show whether you're ready to level up with them.

I have to say my favorite running cutscene joke is Joker 'cleaning' by taking out the world's smallest feather duster and half-assedly dusting something stupid because inevitably someone is like "this is dirty as poo poo"

I like to think Shinya is some kind of AU version of Naota from FLCL since they got Barbara Goodson as his VA. They kinda dress similar too, if you ignore the cool hat.

Giving everyone codenames is a really good idea for a Japanese game filled with Japanese names reaching out internationally. My very unscientific polling shows that everyone on the internet can remember Ryuji and Anns name, but Yusuke is always referred to as Fox

The main characters are easy to remember for me. Most of the secondary characters I have to refer to their Tarot. I am in the fourth Palace and I don't remember what the third boss's name even is

You can hold down the triangle during the EXP/Loot screens to make it end quicker.

You have a plant at the beginning of the game that gets you free kindness if you feed it plant food.

To begin Temperance after OPERATION: MAIDWATCH , you have to go to the school hallway and talk to Kawakami while she's being grilled by that other teacher first before making phone calls.

The original Star Wars is about rescuing a princess from a space station, which is a kind of heist; Okumura dresses like Darth Vader and you're trying to save Haru

I only remember Kaneshiros because I have a save file at every palace and I see Kamoshida, Madarame, Kaneshiro every time I start the game.

I do like how there's a mix of romantic confidants so a lot are either okay with, or flat out relieved, when you don't want to date them. Specifically thinking of Ann, Tae, Ohya and Hifumi here.

And then there are the ones that are absolutely crushed like Fortune girl or Haru if you turn them down.

Kindness buy the best plant nutrients you can and apply them every 16 days to the plant in your room as it doesn't take time. Also work at the flower shop.

For Charm do the Sun and Devil links as they increase your charm with each rank.

Chihaya does a lot of "you like older women... right?" hinting for like her entire arcana and the scene where you turn her down is hilariously leading on her part and has one of the more dickish answers you can give.

"You came to see me for more than the fortune telling right?"

"Nope, just the fortune telling"

Those are literally the only two references to any other Persona game unless you count Igor.

Also you can get a Rise poster as a souvenir I guess, but its the one from the subway.

??? They work in save rooms. The IVs that give you 50/100% healing?

The option to use them only shows up when youre having a conference with your pals, and then itll only show up if youre wounded.

You're the only one man enough to go through with it, which means that you're man enough to reap the rewards :getin:

I mean, it's pretty awesome to have someone who lets you dick around in class, make coffee/curry for you, clean your clothes, etc. I also find her social link hilarious because she keeps trying to stay in character but she eventually goes 'gently caress it' and takes a nap/rips you a new one.

Don't date Ann because she's perfectly happy without you and also literally falls out of the story once Makoto enters to an absurd degree.

Once you can hang out with her, make sure if Makoto invites you to the movies you say yes.
