Yusuke is the only romance I'm doing in my first playthrough. I knew he was the best from the moment he was creepily stalking Ann.

Speaking of that scene, it took me a little bit of research to figure out what the hell was going on with Ryuji's codename suggestion.

ah that's one place where the tl is actually weird. iunno why they didn't try to localize that at all.

Oh, lighten up Mr. Dooms-and-Gloom, "embezzle" is metal.
If you haven't entered the dungeon after sending the calling card you aren't at the boss yet basically, once you send the card all you do in the palace is fight the boss and complete it (unless you want to roam through still)

So basically you might as well keep grinding for now until you run out of SP since you probably aren't fighting the boss anyway. Have you fought the Green Penis mini boss yet? You more likely are probably about to fight that.

What was Ryuji's suggestion again? I thought it was like Agura-abe but that isn't finding me anything on Google so I must be remembering wrong, what exactly does he say or what is the weird bit?

iirc, Ryuji suggested Aburaage, a food made from slicing tofu up real thin and deep-frying it. There's a a couple Japanese legends that talk about kitsunes liking it and Yusuke's whole outfit is kitsune as hell

How much SP do I need to beat the boss of the first palace? Playing on normal, level 10. I've reached the throne room where you look down on him, but I was thinking of doing some more grinding before fighting him.
If you're worried, I'd recommend getting up to Lv. 11. Your party members get a lot of helpful skills then, like Media and Tarunda that while aren't necessary, can be p. helpful on the boss if you're worried

Pretty sure there's two of them. One a few rooms into that circular set of rooms where the floor starts to go crazy, and one right before the Treasure.

Haha, in the 3rd palace I got SOOOO many treasure demons in encounters on my boss run. I'd beat a group and get the WARNING message and a treasure demon would pop up. Happened like 4-5 times when I was trying to grab the locked treasures. Made grinding for money a little pointless though.

Do the treasure demons in the third palace still have rank-1 Ma-element spells on them? I used the one I got in the second palace before I got the make Matador with Magaru request and now I'm just sorta like "ugggh I don't want to have to try, c'moooooon"

No, they are a different species and have heal spells/buffs/debuffs I think. They are called Queen's Necklace. You can purchase the other from your compendium though.

Yeah that kind of came off as weird to me when I saw that last night. By then, I maxed out and went for a romantic relationship with Makoto and that post-party interaction read more like they're close friends, but not actually together.

Re: temperance chat: the actual problem with dating her is that it either means you're not dating Makoto, or you're cheating on Makoto, and both of these are unacceptable.

Almost done with the December dungeon now. I'll have a lot of things to unpack and talk about when this is over.

Most of those things might be gushing about Makoto.

Oh, you can? I assumed once I used the treasure Persona up it was gone for good because it was special. I didn't even check the compendium for it :v:

Yeah, that's my only complaint with the cover system. So many times when I can't aim at the new cover spot I want to go to because I can't turn the camera far enough to the right or left.

That guy really sets the tone for the entire game. P5 starts off much darker than P4 and in P4, we got a murder right off the bat. I am at the third dungeon and nobody died but there are few scenes that me go holy poo poo. One of them being a dinner scene between Sae and Makoto.

Yeah, the poo poo Sae says to Makoto is hosed up.

The stealth system felt super important in the first palace where getting ambushed really could mean a wipe, but past that I've only been doing it to look kill. Getting ambushed for me has only been bad when it's like, three Angels or the chicken onion guys who have Hama and Mudo.

I do like the look of the stealth tho. One time, Ann came to hide up against a corner where I already was, so while the MC has his back against the wall, Ann's just laying in front of the doorway on her side, one hand on her hip, the other holding her head up. It looked super dumb but also super rad

If you're super high level compared to monsters the stealth system allows you to completely skip the fight and get a free persona

Getting ambushed yourself is great too if Futaba's positional hack procs

So I've made one trip into Palace 7 until the story made me leave, and thank gently caress I can still do social links. After everything that happened after Sae's palace I thought I'd basically be railroaded into doing the final dungeon without being able to finish off a few that I want to finish. I got Makoto to rank 9 the day before the Palace 6 calling card and I was really pissed that I wasn't going to be able to max her out. I'm guessing that I want to get as many of my party members to rank 10 as I can before I tackle the final Palace for their upgraded Personas? I normally make a point of clearing Palaces ASAP so I have responsibility free social grinding time, but I figure I may as well leave this one late and get those slinks as high as I can to make what I assume will be the final boss as easy as possible.

when you realize that sae agrees to goro's invitations to eat out at sushi restaurants so she can get away from her sister and be her own person

even worse when you realize (endgame spoilers) while Goro may feel that he's finally making a connection with someone and may possibly not be alone in the world anymore, Sae's just using him as a way to not interact with Makoto as much and doesn't care for Goro's company at all really
