You get all the time left regardless of when you send that card.

The numbers > target of dungeon slip my mind but I'm assuming you mean Shido.

Real Talk: what are the chances that I can carry my save file over to P5 re-release and just do my NG+ there

Honestly depends on how they do the expanded version.

In Japan, Persona 3 FES was available as an expansion disc as well as the boxed complete release that we got, and that was on the PS2. It's possible they'd release whatever expanded version as a downloadable expansion, in which case your save would probably "transfer" because it's not a different game, really. Or if it's a standalone rerelease for PS4, you could probably use your save, too.

Clarste posted:

I'm guessing that the P5 re-release might just be available as a major DLC, since that's a thing now and wasn't back then.

They did it with FES before DLC even existed, so it's definitely possible.

Is remote-play function really that bad? And I'm pretty sure the Vita couldn't handle it.

The Network Save slot in the save menu lets you bounce saves between PS3/PS4 versions so it shouldn't be hard for any version to carry over in a theoretical rerelease

At the hotel buffet, when you bump into the guy at the elevator, you need high guts to talk back to him. I think that might be the only one though

I played a bunch of the game through remote play; technically and visually it was great but only having two triggers made the dungeons feel a bit awkward.

I'm at 6/18 right now at 3 stat on all with knowledge on 4, are books still worth reading? I heard there a speed book that helps you read faster but you gotta jump through a bunch of books, is that still worth it?

Read books on the train or in class (with Temperance). You shouldn't have been wasting time reading books during the evening anyway.

Since there will be times where you can read books on the train its worth at least buying some to hold on to I guess. Unless you're going for the platinum I don't find them super useful past a certain point but the ones that let you use focus during fishing and batting are useful... But again I guess that's more if you're going for the plat and want to make sure you can get the trophies for those two activities.

Check out books from the library, they are free. Read whenever you get a free period in class or a seat on the train.

The info that really helped me was knowing which S-Links also improved your stats at the same time.

Death gives you Guts.
Tower and Hierophant give you Kindness.
Devil and Sun give you Charm.
Hanged gives you Proficiency.
Star gives you Knowledge

Hierophant's iffy since it's very slow to progress the links early on, it gets story-gated for a while, and then max Kindness-gated (and then gives Kindness after that for no good reason).

I used this one.

Trying to do them yourself is kind of a pain but I enjoyed using this fusion calculator and puzzling out what fusions would work towards the goal.

Sojiro convinced me to try coffee & curry as a combo, and then Haru has me leaning more and more toward roasting my own beans.

Growing is a step too far, though. Also I don't know how she's able to grow coffee beans in Tokyo like that

The Strength fusions seemed much easier this time around? I stalled out about halfway through the corresponding links in 3 and 4, but this time I did all of them without even looking at the arcana grid. It always seemed pretty easy to get something with the right skill, fuse it onto the right arcana, then fuse vertically within that arcana to get the right persona.

I guess having good mechanical rewards for it helped a lot with my motivation compared to the previous games.

Even so, she must have magical gardening powers to grow coffee beans (and super carrots) on the roof of your school.

Makoto remains Best Girl but I would probably date Haru in a NG+. Her obsession with coffee and battle won me over, plus she is more receptive to joking around

Pretty sure they are, though part of my impression may be because I was using the online calculator rather than hand-computing. Usually you can pretty much just get the skill
it asks for on a persona that's usable as a component of the goal -and- is in right about the right level range, too.
