Do it right away. It's no different from a normal dungeon in that sense.

Customized guns would be cool if they did anything good.
Even when they do and have a chance to induce status, I end up forgetting that and never use them.

Should i sell that free item that I get for buying the game worth 50,000 yen and buy kickin' rad gear or other things? I just got to the point where I can buy guns and do whatever I want

What's the trick to getting a Lachesis with Tetraja?

Also goddamn do I hate it when I end up with combinations where one or two magic-focused Personas make a physical Persona. I forget, does this game follow the usual SMT logic of preferring to keep high-level demons instead of keeping lower level ones around?

I don't know about you guys, but I used Shiki-Ouji pretty much the whole game.

How did they justify Sae's palace not falling apart once they steal the treasure? That seemed like a bit of a plothole for me.

Urgh, raising Proficiency is so slow. I could say the same for Kindness since you can only raise that during the day outside of movies.

Gotta hit that Kindness 5 for Sojiro eventually though. I should be maxing Guts soon as well to finish up Hanged. Pretty sure I'm gonna leave Fortune/Devil/Temperance/Tower on the backburner for next playthrough. I might be able to do Star, but she's a lower priority than Hanged/Hiero/Sun. Maybe I'll do Moon since that's 'easy' rank ups.

They never (endgame) actually stole the Treasure. The suitcase was just a prop they had prepared to fool Goro. Sae changed by talking to Joker in the real world and realizing the truth, not by having her heart changed.

The flower shop job raises Kindness and can be done at any time of day. And also twice a day, which is just kinda funny considering it's supposed to be part time.

Also, Fortune is worth raising because at rank 7, you unlock the ability to raise your friendship with any confidant once per day, without taking any time up, for 5000 yen.

Totally forgot that it was doable day or night, derp. Thought it was day only.

Fortune's at 1 right now and it's early September, so hmm.

Is it worth chugging for Kindness (for Sojiro) or Proficiency first (for Yusuke/Haru)? Guts says Proficiency, because I imagine I'd want to give Haru Baton Pass at least.

At least the social rank stuff will be a breeze on NG+ once I've maxed out nearly all the stats and I can also do the books/games trophies.

Do Kindness for Sojiro. After a certain point his confidant stuff is actually tied into Futaba's and you really want your navigator getting those sweet buff moves.

If you're doing dumb stuff for trophies you wind up sleeping to fast forward to evening/morning sometimes. He constantly bitches at you for sleeping when you should be out doing things. Morgana is the worst cat.

Edit: Oh, well that's a thing. Just fished up the guardian, from long range, with my only top quality bait and the starter rod. I'm convinced Atlus will patch this under pressure from the King of Video Games because I didn't suffer enough. :v:

It's funny how a lot of the shadows you encounter in mementos via requests get distorted because of money problems yet have no problem throwing away thousands of yen when confused. Currently confusion farming from Mr and Mrs. Takase and the sheer amount of money I'm getting from the fight is hilarious considering how the reason they turned to poo poo was due to lacking money.

101 hours later, I can't imagine wanting to jump into NG+. It's 6:36AM here now. If I want to see alternate cutscenes I'll just go to youtube.

I'd write some detailed impressions, but who the hell cares. In spite of the game's many faults, I enjoyed myself to the point where I binged this 100 hour game as much as I could. Again, as a huge jRPG fan I haven't enjoyed a game in this genre this much in a very long time.

You are a crimeboy. Sojiro is protective of his adoptive daughter and in rank 10 of his confidant he basically says "We're super cool, just never date Futaba. You're a good person but a lovely influence".
