In my own headcanon though Makoto gained 20 pounds over the course of the game and Joker starts to regret dating her. There's a finals study scene in december where the party asks Joker if he's ever thought about getting married, and I answered "no", followed by a sad look from Makoto. Makoto looks a little heavier than normal in her winter wear and this all made perfect sense at the time.

I've been antsy and uninterested in playing games recently. Not much catches my attention anymore. I can't tell if it's because of the meds or if it's because I got sick of my NG+ playthrough.

Used to just play games for an hour or 2 before getting bored and doing something else. It's why I like overwatch and Rocket League
Persona 5 (and Nier Automata 2 months ago) made me lose sleep playing it the whole weekend. I'm in September and I just want to continue playing. It's so good.
These games are pulling me back into gaming.

Is there a situation like in Persona 4 where once you finish the final dungeon it skips to the ending? Or can I finish the final palace quickly and gently caress about like usual?

From last night, but: no, there is not. You can safely finish the seventh Palace with as much time to spare as you want. The game doesn't prematurely end on you.

I actually don't remember that part from Persona 4 but I haven't played it all the way through since it came out. I wonder if I lost a bunch of December by completing the final dungeon early or if I knew about it and saved it for the last second, I really don't remember.

1st palace I remember loving up a day by almost making it to the treasure room, low on sp, Thinking alright, Boss is up ahead, just going to go home and fight the boss tomorrow. After I went in. I was kicked out within 10 minutes because I needed to send the calling card.

That was fun.

I'm not sure why that happened to so many people given that the game warns you before every miniboss and that you've already been thrown out of the palace a couple times.

E: and that there's a safe room immediately beforehand where you can save.

The December study session scene's marriage question is pretty funny and it's kind of weird that it's the only group scene that acknowledges who you're dating at all. It might be extra funny if you're dating Makoto because of her little "I'm already thinking about marrying you" slip-up at the Culture Festival so she's pleasantly surprised if you say that you plan to get married one day, too (or hilariously frustrated if you say it's a secret).

I only wish that they would've reacted if more than one person said something. Like if Joker says he wants to get married and he's dating more than one of the Phantom Thieves, there should've been this brief moment after everyone reacts where they look around and are slightly confused as to why the others care. It'd foreshadow the beating he's gonna get after Valentine's Day.

You mean acknowledging who you're dating outside of social links? I haven't played Persona 3 since 2007 so I don't remember a lot of it all that clearly.

Completed the game a week ago and looked through the trophies, noticed that there a hostage taking mechanic that I never saw in my playthrough. Looked up a video of it and it happened in the first dungeon in the bit where you're on the roof and there's a bunch of shadows with the red auras. I stealthed through that area without fighting any of them, did I skip a tutorial for it? I played on hard as well, where the only thing I could find is that it's less likely to happen if you're on safety. Did this happen for anyone else?

The hostage thing can happen when an enemy knocks down one of your party members with a weakness hit or critical. It doesn't always happen when they do that, but that's what triggers it. I think it happened to me like three or four times total?

Hostage taking happens when your whole team gets critted. Instead of the enemy doing an all out attack they take someone hostage. You can then either pay the price or call in the network assistance feature.

In the video I saw just one person got crit, all others were up.

He's not quite as OP as he was in P4 but once I had him there were very few times that I ever needed a different Persona out.

Yeah I'm pretty disappointed in his results. For a few reasons, the SP cost for his Severe nuke is inefficient toward one day clearing palaces, he doesn't naturally learn any Fire Skills, and his Physical skills are lacking. We'll always have Persona 4, Jack. I'm afraid I have to turn you into a Whip now.

It might have to do with the disparity in levels of difficulty. I had Ryuji get crit by Berith in the first palace and taken hostage and it never happened again all game.

Oh, lighten up Mr. Dooms-and-Gloom, "embezzle" is metal.
From what I've read basically that hostage one is a mechanic that typically only happens when you fight something much stronger than you and get crit/weakened. So basically it will only happen at the very beginning of the game or in an extreme scenario. I missed that one as well, not looking forward to needing that one if I go for the plat. I got the 250 Nav Lines though pretty easily just before the end of the game. Still bitter about 2 ranks short of all max confidants though :argh:


Also I wasn't totally clear on something (Post P7 spoilers) When you are in the velvet room at the end, do the twins always become Lavenza or is that a result of having Strength maxed?

I slid it in just under the wire. I think I got Haru's final rank on the second-to-last possible day to do so, and Iwai's final rank that night. It's the first time I've maxed all the social links in a Persona game and it felt drat good.

Always happens, it's a core part of the story. The Strength confidant just gives you a bunch of foreshadowing.
