I'm curious: what did everyone name Joker?

At this point I generally name my Persona protagonists after previous Persona or SMT characters, which is how my Joker became a distant relative of the Kuzunoha clan.

Kaitou Takashi. Kaitou since Phantom Thief (and his nickname is Joker(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysterious_Joker)), and Takashi after Hideyasu Takahashi, the author of Kaitou Joker.

I ended up just using his manga first name because I couldn't think of anything better, so he's Akira Kuzunoha. I think it flows pretty well, at least.

I think this game's Normal difficulty is actually perfect for what it should be. This game has the most hype and mainstream attention as any in the series has gotten, so it's going to be played by more people than ever (hopefully) including those with no experience of these systems. To make the default setting be true SMT-tough would be unwise for this title.

Oh certainly, I completely agree. Normal is exactly what it should be (maybe even a little over-tuned in the first Palace, but not after that). But that's why I'm totally happy playing on Hard, because I know that I want a difficulty where I have to care a lot about buffs and debuffs like in SMT, and that's basically how Hard is balanced. I even like how getting hit and taking damage from an enemy you haven't debuffed is a very bad thing. The only problem with Hard is how that spiky enemy damage interacts with the "game over if Joker is KO'd" rule, really.

I named mine Danny Ocean.

I wanted to call the group Ocean's 7, but I didn't know if we'd end up with more bonus party members so I called them Diamond Dogs instead.

drat it, Diamond Dogs is a great name. I went for Wild Cards because I couldn't think of anything else, even though really only one of them is a wild card but shhhh none of the other Phantom Thieves know what that term means anyway

I'd do that if I was Japanese, but I feel like my real name would stick out like a sore thumb as the name of a supposedly Japanese kid in Tokyo so I always name my Persona characters with actual Japanese names

I looked up his skillset and it's gonna be tough trying to fit everything in. Endgame maybe something like:

Garudyne
Magarudyne
Wind Boost
Wind Amp
Mediarahan
Samarecarm
Miracle Punch
Evade Elec/Masukunda/Salvation/Diarahan

Could probably drop Miracle Punch, maybe Samarecarm.

You can definitely drop Samarecarm. Revive items are plentiful and cheap. I also dropped miracle punch because there are other options out there like Tower confidant or just having Joker use miracle punch. If anything, I would drop garudyne and keep miracle punch.

Seishuu Nakamura, which is something I cobbled together from visits to JP41 and Wiktionary. The idea is that it's supposed to be written 清手 仲村. Separating the characters in Seishuu should roughly translate to "clean hand" and Nakamura is derived from Nezumi Kozou's real name.

Well, there's the PSTV.

Which is technically still a vita, but roll with it, it's way cheaper anyway.

PSTV's your best bet because it's cheaper than a Vita, really. Portable Persona is definitely nice as hell but not nice enough to be worth buying a Vita.

... gently caress! Guts is my lowest stat too because Ive been neglecting coffee at the diner.

Also Im sorry thread but I ended up breaking ranks and hooked up with the drunk reporter instead of goth doctor/Makoto/hot for teacher.

Also also I really hope they sell the tarot cards because the art for these is amazing, especially with all the goofy things hidden in them (the Priestess one cracks me up every time).

Hoo boy. Palace 5 is really handing me my rear end. I'm at the halfway point on my first trip in and SP is wearing dangerously thin. I've had to use rez items like 20 times already.
I think i'll have to break my "get to the treasure in one day" streak and make this a 2-day dungeon. :(


The only social link I have yet to unlock is (palace 5 and onwards spoilers) Harus, and I just found out i'll need 5 in proficiency to unlock it. Will I have enough time to finish her slink if I take my time getting to 5 proficiency? It took me ages to get to 4 and I was planning on blitzing through the rest of my current backlog of slinks for the next few months until I start needing other 5's.

Maybe i'll get lucky and get a few prof points slacking off in class.

if you're in the fifth alace you only have two months left in the game in terms of actual time, there's no 'next few months'
