Kinda. That's definitely the worst, but its also kinda gross you have a bunch of mid-twenties women getting hot for a sixteen year old dude.

I even like most of their confidant chains but I really think they would have been better if they turned you down and only had a friendship route. Because you're a high school student and they're a grown rear end adult.

This would suck because everyone interprets friendship route as "watered down we're not saying it's a romance but it is" anyway. Like the king game in Persona 4. It doesn't matter how many times you say "this isn't alcohol tho..." Naoto, we all know they're meant to be pissed out of their heads.

Yeah, I can confirm it works.

The hardest part will obviously be Palace 1 because of the limited SP, but you can scrape through if you're lucky and find a soul food or two. I barely made it but it was pretty smooth sailing after that.

Also learn to efficiently grind money by holding up various demons. There are always some that give more or less than others and if you find encounters where you can kill them without using SP and trigger them into their 'beg for their life' you can make absurd amounts quickly.

Outside of trophies, is there ever actually a point in doing CDs/videogames? On a time-points basis they just seem less efficient than going to specific outlets to raise stats. I mean I guess the benefit is also that they're 'free'.

Nope.

Technically you can make them slightly more efficient by reading the book that gives them more notes but that also takes time.

At least with books there are two times (on the train and in classes Kawakami lets you skip) where you can't do anything else.

Any ones in particular? I tend to gently caress up the answer thing quite frequently.

Specifically thinking of Nekomata in Palace 3, they give an absurd amount for that point in the game.

For Palace 1, here's what I found when I did it

quote:

I found a pretty good way to grind money once you hit level 9/10. Going back to the ground floor of the palace and all your characters should be almost killing enemies in one hit, which makes them beg for their life and cough up between 500 and 1000 yen a battle. If you warp between save rooms all the enemies can respawn and you can make loops.

Not sure how necessary it is, but everyone bitches about money being tight and this takes zero resources.

Also sell the Free LC Soma. Its 50k and you'll need it early on.

Yeah, it's not a perfect guide by any stretch and if people choose use it, make sure you double check that you have a matching arcana for every single event other than Sun, Moon and Strength because that guide doesn't make a hugely clear point of telling you that you need it outside of the boring intro blurb you don't necessarily need to read but if you don't have matching arcana, you're going to fall behind and if you fall too far behind, you might need an extra mementos trip or it's a slot that's heavily contested and one day being lost can mean waiting until the end of the game to catch those events up.

Its not really the age thing with Futaba. She's pretty emotionally immature and has spent literal years cooped up in a single room and your relationship is very guardian/charge more than between equals.

Like she doesn't even really recognize what a crush is during her social link. I feel like its okay to not feel like she should necessarily be dating in that case. She's your eager to please little sister and is cool and good, but not really someone I feel you should date?

I know there's a throwaway line about how she just finished middle school so she's about a year younger than Joker, but she has the body of a Splatoon character and the emotional maturity of a pre-teen, so I'm gonna go ahead and say it's a little weird.

Not like... horribly creepy, people have different body types and all, but a little weird??

Ame is a level 29 Persona, I think either Priestess or Lovers (I always get the two mixed up).

I mean for me, it's entirely based on the family dynamic you have with Sojiro and generally how her confidant link goes. I liked Towa in trails of cold steel and she would probably offend someone more on a physical reason.

As an aside, I like this new(?) feature where the compendium is full from the start only everything is a silhouette until you fuse/obtain that persona because I can generally place what each demon is just by the outline.

Really helped both to cheat at figuring out some of the more obscure weaknesses on enemies as well as knowing what to fuse together for the strength requests.

I didn't mean she was exaggerated in reality, in fact I'm saying a lot of teenage girls even in the US are short or flat-chested or w/e

the female characters in persona 5 are not, which makes her stand out and seem weirder-looking than she is imo

The second years all read and act like they're basically 18 year olds to me, where Futaba reads like the 15 year old that she is.

Sojiro asked you not to smash his daughter though, so you're honour bound to not smash, lest you be a poo poo.
