That loving airlock puzzle took me so long I loaded the game from the safe room and just looked up a walkthrough.

I didn't really have that many problems with the airlock puzzle. I just made sure to explore every room and just experiment with things. I probably just got stupidly lucky and was too busy getting into as many fights as I could for dat exp.

How do I know which miniboss to fight? Also what's a good strategy for dealing with them in battle? I've beaten them up to the 2nd ID badge but forgot to save. But even so none of those wins went smoothly and took me forever.

I'm at my wits end and to be honest this entire section so far has been 0 fun for me.

Gather intel from the various non-boss robot rooms and then ask specific questions to look for the robot that highlights the traits mentioned. Don't forget to go to back to previous non-boss rooms as new intel can be got from there. As for the fights, enemies were weak to either wind, psy or nuclear if I remember correctly so have those party members in and exploit aoe magic for all out attacks. Find their weaknesses and it should be smooth sailing from then on.

Nah I'm in the same boat, and even feel his arc within his Confidant story satisfying in that he finally comes to terms with who he is. Being a constant victim of bullying, I identified with him and saw the worst parts of myself in him, and yeah he's a creepy dork at times even beyond that, but at the end of the day he did a cool thing for his friend during the Confidant storyline and he's the first guy to speak up for you.

With all the themes of being abandoned by society, having someone that was always in the Phantom Thieves' corner, pays off at the end of the game, I feel.

I didn't like Goro at the beginning of the game cause I thought he was annoying and a bit of a twat, then I played the game and my opinion of Goro shifted 180 degrees. I like Goro and Mishima, though Goro is a better character than Mishima. Maybe I have a soft spot for ineffectual, pathetic losers.

Post-dungeon 4: Wait a second, how did Futaba even get a bug into Leblanc, I think to myself, before I realize "self, she could have easily planted it onto anything Boss ordered for the shop that was delivered to their house before being brought to the store, idiot, they even make a point that poo poo is always being delivered to his place."

he's never shown or mentioned again afterwards so hes as good as dead in my book. i was fully expecting him to show up right before you fight shidou and help you out, but was pleasantly surprised he didn't come back. dude murdered alot of people and i think the game would be weaker if it redeemed him into your party.

(End game spoilers) Goro is absolutely coming back in spinoff games and the entire point of the conversation with him is that he is not entirely monstrous, so much as he is lonely and empty. The fact they don't show his death should be the most obvious indicator the dude is alive.

I do hope Goro comes back. He was a kickass member of the party in the one dungeon he's in. If they do a Persona 5 crimson or whatever, there should be a way to get Goro permenantly, at least for the the final boss.

Back when the JP version came out I was hoping he would show up again and join for the final dungeon, it would make some sense. Whatever though, if ArcSys does that P5 Arena they wanna do then he's most definitely gonna be playable and he's one of my favorite characters so I'm all for it. I just wish the game didn't pretend he doesn't exist after he leaves the story.

Thanks. What I did wrong was not try all elements on the smaller enemies. I thought they were resistant to everything and it got me mad and confused. I found their weaknesses and got past it.

i also think it was dumb that they tried to redeem Adachi. honestly, I'm just tired of situations in games where a villain who has done bad poo poo does a face turn and becomes a party member. Goro is definitely more redeemable than Adachi in the fact that he didn't try to rape 2 women, but that doesn't change the fact that he also probably killed a lot more than 2 people under his own free will.

so basically, until he turns up in the next spinoff/extended addition scenario, I can't believe Goro died.

Goro is never mentioned again, not even the sentiment of his existence appears for the Confidant based stuff. Even Shinjiro got like a lost "You go buddy" in for P3, idk what happened with Goro that he just vanishes from pure existence.
