I got the 250th navigation line on the final boss about one round before it died. That was surprising to see pop up with the usual "cannont take screenshot at this time" message.

It's unfortunate that it seems like you can't take screenshots in 90% of the game and the game feels the need to constantly remind you of this. Lots of moments I'd have loved to have screenshotted.

Thankee kindly.
Waiting on the last(?) calling card and just finishing up links. All the daytime links are maxed except Yusuke (who just needs one last day), Futaba (at 8), Haru (at 4) and Shinya (ehh). Nighttime's doing okay too, Sojiro's about done so that just leaves Mishima, Becky, Hifumi, Chihaya and Ohya. Quite a lot of links and I'm pretty sure I don't have enough days to do them all - Ohya's still at 1, for instance.

One of the best (which I wish I had taken a photo of) was when you run into one of your other buddies while out with Mishima (even if this seems like a bad use of your time it is worth it), and they're like "Oh, is this a friend of yours" and you can say "Friend... is a bit much."

The summer scenes where your confidants run into each other are great and I wish there were more of them. The biggest draw for a NG+ would be for me to see the one where you go fishing with Ryuji and Kawakami

Just started my NG+ run.

Does anybody else want to build up Arsene to be not-poo poo like I did in P4 way back when?



It was way easier to do in Golden thanks to Rare Hands, skillcards, and the changes to Shuffle Time, and I wanted to do so this time as well.

Any pointers?

I do have to note that my only Rank 10 Confidant/S. Link party member ended up being Ryuji and thanks to Haru's requirement of Level 5 Proficiency, I never got past rank 1.

I'm a little surprised at myself, since the first time I played P4, I at least managed to get my teammates to Rank 10, even if I skipped others.

You can't get all 99 but here's mine at the moment. I guess I could put Riot in place of Triple but like, whats the difference since it kills everything anyways I guess.

The dickbags in the hotel buffet cutscene are actually the 5 DEADLY KINGZ of the Ark in Shido's palace.

The gutsy response to Shido's goons is basically nothing.

When Makoto starts tailing you, if you go to the underground mall and run away from Yusuke's standing stop, she drift's around the corner comically with the book in front of her.

I got it in a similar place, as soon as the final boss fight started. Not knowing what it was, I went to press the PS button to find out... but pressed OPTIONS by accident and had a heart attack when my characters started to Rush attack the final boss.

I'm at the point of the game where you get the new analyst/support character, Futaba, to replace Morgana. It's interesting that in this one, Morgana kind of developed an inferiority complex because he is being out-performed by Futaba in terms of support, in the previous games, your old analysts, Mitsuru and Teddy was happy to have someone relieved them and in Mitsuru's case, she's obviously a frontline fighter so much so I'm just counting down the days until the game would let me use her in combat.

Uh, Teddie goes through the same thing as Morgana. Like he feels absolutely useless leading up to the dungeon as his nose is getting unreliable, which is exasperated by Rise's newly awakened Persona being better than him, and that triggers his shadow/boss fight.

Order of events is a little off there. Rise doesn't use her persona until the Shadow Teddie fight starts.
Teddie begins feeling frustrated with his nose acting up. Then when Shadow Rise becomes invincible, he goes bearzerk and kamikazes it instead of running away. Afterward Rise accepts her shadow by saying "there is no real me" which makes Teddie question his own existence, and triggers his Shadow appearing.

Yeah, the issue was more about avoiding any party death rather than game over-ing. Not so bad as a challenging encounter during a crawl, but annoying as hell when two show up as reinforcements on the way to the boss.

The stuff locked behind stat-checks really has no bearing on how strong it is tbh. Haru's stuff is pretty good, I guess, but as much as I like Makoto and Iwai's links none of the perks gated by their rank 5 stat checks are good at all. Even the Star stat-check comes after she gives you almost all her best stuff.

I like how some Confidants boost one of your stats and also require that stat to be maxed to complete it, just to ensure that the rest of the levels are wastes for stat building.

Note: I don't actually like it.

Not sure if I'm overthinking it, but it sounds like Akechi's awakening was a Persona 3-like one with him facing death. I also feel like Futaba's was a Persona 4-like one with her facing the truth about her mother's death. If they were intentional, that's a neat bit of consistency.
