Thankee kindly.
You still have quite a bit of time left. Moon's also auto-level up and you only need two more events with him to max it out.

Devil and Fortune have no stat gates. Also, the party members are the only day confidants other than Death and eventually Tower, so chances are you'll have time to fit Tower into your scheudle anyway.

Is Moon an auto-ranking Confidant? I probably would have spent more time busting his chops than I already did if I had known.

Moon and Sun will always level up regardless of what you say to them.

Devil and Fortune are also the biggest pains in the rear end to rank up because they're only available at generally the same days, at night, and you're probably gonna spend more than a few days just trying to make them rank up.

Okay, that battle after Makoto's awakening gave me more trouble than it probably should have. Having Ann in the party was a clear handicap, and I had forgotten I had a Persona with Nuclear damage until the very end.

So that explains why he did not answer. He had no mouth to answer with. There is nothing left of him but his ears.

Fortune is important, but it's not necessary to take all the way to rank 10 because nobody who goes into the game knowing Fortune's importance is liable to need anything but the rank 1 and rank 7 skills.

Man, I just cannot get the people saying that the English voiceovers are bad. Some of them are kind of flat, yeah, but others nail the characterization perfectly. Ann and Youskue are great, but my favorite is Ryuji most definitely.

Were people really down on the voice acting itself? I know the translation got picked apart but the acting is head and shoulders above everyone in 4. Jamieson Price is brilliant.

Best performance is Caroline and Justine tho

Akechi is also really good, he just conveys that sense of airy congeniality that's layered over some impressive sociopathy.

Eh, I'm not really a fan. I know he is supposed to have that kind of personality, but even when he is supposedly acting livid it's just a no-sell on emotion. It kind of creeps me out which doesn't seem to be the intent?

The only people falling in love with him are the general public who see a hot smart boy on TV and want to date him because he's a hot smart boy on TV.

He can be your actual father in the eyes of the law by adopting you so you get a better result without sullying his daughter, who is your little sister.

You know, the game calls Akechi "pleasant boy", but his first few appearances are kinda unpleasant. He hits you where it hurts. First he says the phantom thieves should be tried in court, then he tells Makoto she's a good girl pushover.

Ouch. I understand his animosity with the phantom thieves, but what did Makoto ever do to him?

SyntheticPolygon

The Niijima's might be the only people Akechi is even sorta friends with (moreso with Sae though) so rather than being the Pleasant Boy around them he's kinda a catty rear end in a top hat.

Akechi hates everyone except Joker. It's canon.

He's not really friends with Sae? Idk I'm not friends with my co-workers either. Although, Akechi has a cheery personality on TV but he's not that way irl as you can tell how he interacts with everyone.

Nothing, but as I understood it that's kind of the point. The dude's just playing nice most of the time, but every now and then he says something that makes you go, "wait where the gently caress did that come from" and you see that he's a crazy rear end in a top hat under the mask. His take on Makoto is basically him going, "Haha aww, you're a simpleton. How cute."

He's a pleasant boy from the viewpoint of the general public. Nobody else has a reason to think twice about what he says, but the player's relation to the phantom thieves immediately starts you off as suspicious of him.

I'm still fairly early in the game (near end of Palace #3 it seems) and I've been very tempted to blow 100,000 yen (basically my whole wallet) on the 3rd tier SP recovery accessory since I have been having a lot of problems with Joker running out of SP during the dungeon. Is it worth it ...?


I understand that the Fortune confidant also costs 100,000 to start though and I haven't started it yet
It took about 2 dungeon runs to get the money, I am making a bit better money in the game after starting to ask demons for money 1-2 times before most all-out attacks. I know about the confusing mementos bosses trick but it seems like borderline cheating so I don't want to resort to it to get quick money.

Kind of strange that there were no locked chests in the bank at least so far.
