But I remember the fella who told me. Big lad. Arms as thick as oak trees, a stunning collection of scars, nice eye patch. A REAL therapist he was. Er wait. Maybe it was rapist?

If they do a persona 5 anime series I hope it's just 8 hours of the MC answering an increasingly incredulous Sae.

EDIT: is there any NG+ exclusive content? Hidden boss(es), new scenes, etc?

What do the social stats do in this one? Trying to figure out what to max when.

The two biggest gates imo are Guts and Charm. Guts is required for a couple upgrade paths and Charm is the gate on a lot of the SLs. Unfortunately some of the SLs really get frozen up as a result (gently caress I need level four charm for this?!) but you can gain them pretty quickly over the course of the game.

They're pretty much all for Confidants. A few fringe benefits:

Knowledge: Gets you higher grades on exams.
Proficiency: More fishing attempts. I think more tool-making attempts, but I'm not 100% on that.

That's pretty much it. If you just want to go for the best benefits mechanically, go for Proficiency, Kindness, Knowledge, Charm, Guts. Proficiency has the best overall benefits and you need to max it for an endgame Confidant (who has some pretty nice benefits). You need Kindness 4 for a future Confidant and 5 to max Sojiro (and higher-ranking coffees and curries are good). Knowledge doesn't actually offer you that much, but you get some rewards for acing your exams, and you need to max it to max Star (who has good benefits). Charm's really just for Makoto, but if you want her better party passives go for it. Guts is just for Iwai, but Iwai's actual benefits are kind of useless.

Does anyone have a link to a guide for how to effectively fuse personas? I know that there are things like each Arcana having specific types of stats and certain arcana adding together to get a third type, but right now I kind of feel I'm running blind on getting them all.

Be aware you'll want to put points into Kindness ASAP, as the Hermit Arcana needs Rank 4 to start it and it's well worth your while to do.

Fused an Ippon-Datara to get Rampage on Joker, but without the Hermit Confidant, I think it'll be easier and quicker at this point to get Yusuke up to level 18 so he can get Vicious Strike.

You've got a few months before you can even start it. Feed the plant whenever possible, work at the flower shop every once in a while, and on rainy days study and order the tea (I think the diner starts selling it soon if they haven't already).

With Kindness you can regain some lost ground by using Fortune's rank 1 ability before you feed your plant (use the good stuff from the red light district), work at the flower shop, or watch The Cake Knight Rises (buy the cinema appreciation guide too) for the sixth time.

FWIW, Proficiency is the only social stat you need to max just to open a Confidant--the rest will do the job at 4, or 3 for charm--and that one is apparently waaaay late in the game.

Am I right in assuming I should level temperance really quickly so that I can get the classroom benefit for more of the game?

I also saw that Sun has a deadline so now I think I should've been spending more time with him

So many choices

What you're aiming for is the max-level Temperance ability, which lets you go out at night after Palace/Mementos trips. Also the previous-tier abilities become free of charge.

Sun is great, but that "deadline" is all of two weeks before the end of the game. It's not like in Persona 4 where Nanako and Dojima suddenly stop being available from October/November-ish onwards for story reasons.

It's the steak, actually. The fruit tea is for charm.

Temperance 3, Moon 5, Sun 5, Death 7, Fortune 7, and Star 1 are the non-party member Confidant ranks I would prioritize even if you have no intention of maxing them. That's not to say they don't have some amazing poo poo in later ranks (and most of them are cool people anyway), but if you're pressed for time and want to work on party members instead, that will give you a good set of tools to progress through the game.

I'm going to judge you for snubbing coffee dad though, even if the accessories you can buy from the doc make the SP recovery less important.

I can't remember if it is like this, but I hope that you can max out the female social links without getting romantically involved with them. I don't want to bang Futaba, I want to wrap her in a blanket and feed her chips.

You can definitely be in the lonely hearts club. I mean, the game warns you by telling you "I should choose my words carefully" and the non-romantic option is obvious.

Temperance is a big time saver too. That 10 rank ability is amazing.
