Thanks. Does it have to be sent during 'After School' time? I reached the treasure on a Friday :/ Suppose I could wait until next Friday and send the card then. Is there another good day during the week where there is little else to do? Still getting to grips with the best days to do activities/social links/attribute boosts.
You can just send it the following Monday, and then have the rest of the time limit to do social stuff, no worries

The moment during the Palace 3 events where she tells her kid sister that she's useless and is then like "sorry, I'm gonna eat alone from now on" was harsh as gently caress. I stopped thinking she was okay then and now I don't like her.

Yes, you have to send it during After School. Sending it before rainy days is usually good as well since a lot of Social Links aren't available during that time, at least if I remember right.

How do you check the weather?

I'm not a huge fan of Makoto's link.

Makoto herself is real cool and great, but her link isn't enough about her like Yusuke's is for example. There's a bunch of directions you could have taken it, considering how fleshed out she is compared to many other characters in the entire Persona series, but I'm not sure the way they chose for her S.Link is all too good. Haven't got the rank 10 just yet though. Waiting for a good slot to pop up to go there from 9.

i'm kinda with you, though I'm only on Rank 4 or 5. Her Link has been totally fine, but nothing really blowing me away. Honestly my favorite moments with her are plot scenes, and aside from her sick bike stunts, nothing is affirming me that oh i HAVE to date her. Nothing's really affirming me that I have to date ANYONE so far tbh, there's just a lotta hot people in this game

It would've been a better story if her suspicion in it turned out to be completely false and she had to learn through it but then it wouldn't fit the arcana that they have to force through

you're her fake boyfriend for most of the s.link so you might as well make it real

Or if you want to stretch it (palace 4)Joker knocks her out of the way from the deadly attack and then they stare at each other for a second

If Makoto's S.Link was about how she deals with having to interact with another person, it should have been more about the stress her relationship with her sister is under, because we know who her sister is and as someone experiencing the story, we have a degree of investment in Sae, even if we're not really supposed to like her all too much because of the story's framing.

I don't really care about Eiko or Tsuwhatever he's called.

That's something that kind of surprised me about the romance transition too. I was pretty certain it'd be some slick "well, you're my fake boyfriend..." "let's drop the fake bit" thing, but it's not.

Don't think there's an actual way to check in-game this time around, but as far as I know bad weather days are fixed so you can just reload when they happen. Kind of tedious, but I compulsively save every day and night so it wasn't too much lost progress.

The issue is that the structure of the story precludes Makoto's link from being able to interact with Sae except very indirectly.

Yeah.

Though its really weird in that case since you're calling your teacher to come over dressed as a maid and give you a massage while making really suggestive comments after she has a whole thing about not being a maid any more.

They get together and kick your rear end on Valentines day if you date multiple.

You get special scenes on a few days if you're dating someone and they give you some decent items. If you're dating multiple people you can pick which one to spend time with.

Also one thing I didn't like in the endgame scenes was how they pulled the same scene with Ryugi and Morgana 'dying' then just comimg back with no real fanfare. Especially Morgana's scene because he just fucks off for two months for no other reason than to be a little drama queen

Where are you in the dungeon? If it's the beginning with the restaurant, you have to try actually going in there first, and then try talking with the NPCs around the ship.

Still hoping the P5 remake will have the ex dungeon be on valentines day with the palace being Joker's. Makoto is all upset about Tsubasa but I'm pretty sure the MC going around with 9 girls at once is much worst than him in a few years

I'm at the same point you're at and I just felt it safe to assume that he was just another selfish, greedy adult with no grand motivator. He's pretty much just a plot device anyway. Though I did find it weird that all he got for being part of it was that he got to be principal of a high school.

Yeah, but why would Shido involve him in any of this? Kobayakawa has nothing to offer and if I remember the dudes groveling correctly he only had got his job because of him. sitting behind your desk and hoping a teenage girl will solve all your problems is not a valuble skill set.

On that note, the scene where Kobayakawa tries to threaten Makoto with college recommendations again only for her to go "nah I'm good" and backflip out of the office giving double middle fingers was the best thing.

I'm pretty sure it was because the thing was set up similar to a farm system. The people in power offer support and the principal recommends the best and brightest to their services as loyal servants. For example Sae was a graduate and now works under the SIU

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

But there's a part where they mention the Goro in Sae's cognition is a genuinely good person because Sae thinks highly of him and respects him greatly.
