Someone might've posted this before, but if anyone's interested in a DLC costume gallery, here's one at Persona Central. There are party member spoilers within, so be aware of that if you're worried about spoilers.

One thing that kind of amuses me: they gave Jun's outfit in the Persona 2 DLC to Akechi, not Yusuke, who already resembles Jun really closely. I can kinda understand why, given Jun's role in the story, but it still feels like a missed opportunity.

What is even the P4A costume set? It doesn't ring a bell at all.

...You can?! I thought Morgana didn't let you go downstairs or do anything except make Tools. It didn't really make or break anything, and I just considered it easy Proficiency points, but having some extra Coffee might've come in handy once or twice instead of spending turns guarding to regen SP safely. :v:

If your MC doesn't have a persona with Null/Repel Phys by now, then that's on you.

Fuse an Arahabaki (the statue dudes with the big eyes) with a strong attack and/or some good support abilities and it'll carry you through more than you'd think. It's a drat good Persona.

Hej min vän, hur står det till?
Since the Izanagi DLC came with my digital copy, I was able to get Null Phys pretty drat early, well before you get lockdown, so nulling physical moves should be pretty easy to pass on.

I particularly liked putting it on physical attackers so I wouldn't get hosed over by repel or high counter enemies.

Yeah, Palace 5 is very Ryuji/Yusuke-unfriendly. Makoto/Haru/Morgana have a field day though.

Does Morgana learn the Boost/Amp skills? His damage is actually pretty competitive so far.

If you give him Garu, Psi and/or Frei, he'll solo most of the dungeon up to and including the boss fight. The only time you'd want to to use something else is when enemies with Frei and Psi skills show up in the latter half of the dungeon, because he's weak to both.

You might also want to give him a Kouga skill for the Grimhelkas, but even if you don't you'd win out over time as long as you have some sort of magic, since they only have Phys skills.

Either way you'd want Agi for the Belphegors.

I definitely expected security levels to be a much bigger deal.

Frankly, playing on Hard, the increased security level is the least of my worries when I fail to get an ambush on an shadow.

You should already be almost ready to max Charm by the time you unlock her link anyway so you can continue to hang out with Makoto. :colbert:

This is pure speculation, but I wonder if maybe Security levels used to be impossible to lower mid-dungeon, and they'd just steadily climb until you were forced out. Just another way of forcing you to pace yourself, like Tiredness in P3 (and therefore SP wouldn't be limited...?). But at some point they decided that felt bad and let ambushes lower it.

I had already ground out Charm because of this so even this part of Ohya's S-Link is useless to me. The Proficiency from Hanged and Kindness from Tower, on the other hand, are super huge for me right now

I put Hierophant off till the last moment (yes I know this makes me a monster but I made some bad decisions, alright) and panicked when I saw he required maxed kindness and I only had like a week and a half left. Then I went upstairs and fed my plant and my kindness maxed out. That's my social stat story I hope you enjoyed it.

I think of spoiler threads as a place where people who want to have a detailed discussion about the whole game can do so without having to use spoiler tags. It's not that you can't or shouldn't talk about things that need to be in spoiler tags in this thread, just that there's another thread where, if you've completed the whole game, you're free not to use tags.

I dunno, maybe that's just how I see them. Nobody should be telling people to "take it to the spoiler thread" imo, except maybe if there are like three straight pages of black boxes or something, but eh :shrug:


Go into Mementos with a request active and find the mini-boss. Confuse the boss with Pulinpa (it helps to have Confuse Boost, too). Confused enemies spend their turn either sitting there doing nothing, dropping an item (that you get to have), or, most commonly, throwing away yen (that you also get to take). Mini-bosses throw away 15k-20k yen every time they do that, and you can just chain-confuse them to keep it up as long as you feel like.

Holy crap

Huh. I can't remember really seeing a difference in the numbers, but I'll look for it during NG+ once I meet her again.

EDIT: What confuses me is that her Rank 10 description says it 'eliminates Palace security increases', but I still had increases in every dungeon after maxing her Confidant.

I believe it's 20% per rank of the skill. So by default you get 15% when caught by a shadow, but with her first skill it become 12%, and then 9%, etc.

The phrasing 'eliminate' makes me think it eventually zeroes out, which doesn't seem to be the case.
