no as in I don't get NG+ at all or no as in I don't get the second stuff. i was under impression that both bad ends gave ng+ I just wasn't sure if they gave all the extras from both of em

My understanding is that it's not a real ending, it's just a non-standard game over akin to missing the deadline for a Palace.

Epic Name Bro is just after Palace 4 and he's a swell fellow. He lived in Japan teaching for a few years so he has info on some of the cultural stuff. He's playing in Japanese on Hard Mode and his reactions to the Confidants are hilarious

Late October: That immaculately coiffed motherfucker Akechi bogarted my death-takoyaki.

Significantly bigger spoilers: It's all but certain now that he's the team traitor so I hope that poo poo burned like lava on the way out.

Honestly the thread OP spoiled me more than anything, since the silhouette of the traitor at the end of Palace 5 is basically a photo-negative of Akechi's outfit. Also he's pretty much the only possible culprit now that my secondary theory of "something weird with Morgana" sputtered and died.

Finally starting to run dry on day SLs now that I'm going to take the 6th treasure. All that's left is Haru (at 6) and Shinya (at 4). Not gonna get that all-SLs trophy this run though, there are just too many night links left. Still, it's been a good run.

I'm definitely feeling Ryuji's dearth of good skills for a while though. He's still learning crappy Zio stuff when I just want him to get Megaton Raid and Matarukaja already. Yusuke would be flat out better right now if it wasn't for his insane Endurance stat.

It lets you save the game and the savefile still says Completed so I think the bad ending does give you NG+ still

So, was the big calling-card midboss (you know the one) of Palace 7 meant to have some kind of special gimmick? I don't think I was too overlevelled (only killed the Reaper one single time), but he went down before he could do anything special. I got one message of "is staring at Joker" and then used a move called Laevateinn, but my Joker just totally dodged it and then next turn the boss died.

Also for realsies why is the palace 7 actual bosses' first form harder than all the rest? Big damage I can handle, having Joker be hit by Wage War and then suiciding onto Phys-Repel I cannot. When I retried I had an Orochi with Unbreakable Will so I just stayed on that until the form changes and that was that.

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).

You can finish it before it gets gated though I'm not sure it's the best use of your time from a maximizing links standpoint.

I'm telling my mommy. That pubbie doesn't do video games right!
I think maybe he means finishing Hermit because there's a mementos request for Hierophant that blocks both Hierophant and Hermit from progressing, but completing that request is plot-gated. So you can lock yourself out of progressing Hermit, for a while, by progressing Hierophant too far.

Or at least that's the only way I can make sense of it.

That's possible, but on a fresh file chances are you'd be much further on Hermit before you reach that point in Hierophant because it's easier to start Hermit than to progress Hierophant. Unless you've been working at the flower shop and drinking so much tea that you have Kindness 5 by the time you unlock Hermit.

How is the Hierophant request plot-gated though? Isn't it just a 'talk to Futaba, spend the day beating up her uncle'? That part of Mementos shouldn't be plot-gated, although the Mementos request for Hermit can be plot-gated before the Palace 5 deadline.

Part of Heirophant is plot-gated by finding out he has a daughter.

Yes, but they're referring to the Mementos request. To even get that request you'd be past the plot-gate anyway.

Seems I might have been mistaken or in a weird situation where Hermit's request (which I got first and which is plot gated because of the deeper layer of Mementos) was blocking me from doing Hierophant's request. I know I was unable to progress both Hermit and Hierophant until the next layer of mementos opened up, but I think I got the causes and effects mixed up.
