I saw someone streaming P5 on twitch and just realised that in the restaurant scene all the people you overhear while getting food are the people you meet in Shido's palace.

Oh, that's a neat touch. That actually reminds me: I like how there are little narrative threads throughout the game with the NPCs you talk to or overhear, and how some of them end up being the subject of Mementos requests. Seeing how things develop with weird stalker girl or the critic who frequents LeBlanc is a neat little touch.

Sigh, I'm 4 liquid mercury shy of the eternal lockpick, and the three Anubis I've seen in Mementos don't seem interested in dropping any more of them. Yay~

Try Decabrias (Fifth Palace or the corresponding Mementos section). They're also way easier to knock down since they're weak to Phys.

It's just random. I'm on my way to the platinum. Looks like all I need is those two final rare treasure demons (last floor in mementos I think?) and get held hostage. I guess I should turn the difficulty up and let some enemies crit me or something.

Well, I finally beat the game. The PSN email sent out showing total game time reminded me I hadn't finished and so I put in the effort the past few days to finish. I'd seen the plot twist early on but even so I enjoyed the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmQWH7P0gIE

Just got the platinum last night. Total of 120 hours spent. What a game. The only thing I want to criticize right now is how many cool looking high level persona you might never see on your first playthrough. Kind of wish there was a bonus dungeon where they would show up as bosses. Thinking about replaying p3p then p4g later this year. Ineffiable fucked around with this message at 14:14 on Jan 24, 2018 |

Still going through this. I am at around 30 hours and the 3rd palace is almost done. Does auto recover use sp from 1 party member or a bit from everyone?

I've just started playing this as my first Persona game and I'm enjoying it. I've just finished King Boxershorts' fight. Having some trouble getting the moves I want on my Personas, but I'm sure I'll figure this out soon. Ryuji is my dumb idiot best friend and I wouldn't trade him for anybody, Ann and Morgana are fine. The translation hasn't bothered me yet, and it probably never will just because I'm used to this kinda stilted style from other stuff. Is there anything I should urgently know? I've been advised to prioritize the Doctor's conversations and also to do things on their proper day, but other than that?

It depends on how urgently you want to maximize your experience. If you just want to chill out, have a good Phantom Thieves experience and only worry about 100%ing the game on a second playthrough, then do whatever. If you're a min-maxer who wants to get as many trophies as possible we can give specific hints. That said, you can't Platinum the game without a second run anyway, so since this is your first foray into the franchise I recommend just enjoying the ride. Minor things that can help though: Every Sunday, you can stop by the juice stand in the underground walkway for a stat boost. You can occasionally draw on the chalkboard in the classroom. Sometimes you get a Guts boost for doing so.

If you want a ton of money confuse mementos bosses they will drop a shitton based on your luck, you will need tons of money overall in this game Overall though check the shops a bunch there's various electronics you can get for your room that are helpful and can even affect hangout stuff with friends.

You can get all the confidants maxed by making liberal use of the Fortune and Temperance confidants and doing the dungeons in 1 day is easy after death. I had 2 weeks spare at the end and managed to do all the other dumb achievements like read all the books.

Hey P5 thread, apologies if this had been asked but as a novice I’m trying to avoid spoilers as I just started this and it’s my first in the series. I’ve figured most things out but am wondering what I should be going for in fusing personas? Currently I’m level 15 and my persona slots are full of a variety of lvl 6 - 16 personas of mostly different types. I switch them around in combat to try and get elements for weaknesses, buffs etc. Is there some strategy I should be aware of? I kind of don’t get the whole fusing thing and have only done it once at the beginning and feel like I’m missing something.

As a general priority you want element diversity, then particular skills you like or need, then levels, then maybe arcana to make Confidants easier. I suppose you could throw in element resistances somewhere in there but it's not essential. You always want to be fusing new things to keep up with your level, but as the game goes on making sure you have all the elements is key.

Yeah, basically once you've unlocked all skills on a Persona, feel free to fuse them. You can always summon them back later from the Compendium if you need. You can fuse at any time though, you don't need to wait until they have all their skills. It just gives you more options when you do fuse.

Make sure you register anything you might want to resummon right before you fuse it though, the compendium version needs to be overwritten with any levelling and skill changes you've made otherwise you'll have to summon the starting version of that persona and build it up again.

Cool thanks all - I only have a few that have lots of skills (succubus, mandrake, berthi horse dude) so I’ll take a look at what makes sense given the above advice.

Try to fuse Personas with a decent spread of resistances and as few weaknesses as possible. If you can fuse a Persona with melee resistance that's super useful

Personae that null/drain/repel phys are worth keeping for emergency cases even if they're several levels behind the rest of your roster. There are many enemies against which they make you functionally invincible, some of which are bosses.

Yeah, I have that paper demon dude and he’s saved my rear end a few times by giving me a “lol you can’t hurt me” option. Also, I fuckin hate Morgana. Not even the “you need to go to bed” aspect, he’s just so smug an obnoxious about how smart he is. Then he’ll immediately do the dumbest poo poo he can whenever he can. And then he’s right back to making GBS threads on ryuji. I’m only on the part right after the fourth palace, so I really hope he gets knocked down a peg. At some point soon.

Anyone else find the dialogue to be too repetitive and too much of it? I know it is on par with most JRPGS but this was next level repetition. Like once you finish a palace there is like so many groups calls which are basically did we change their hearts? That is just one example.irlZaphod posted:
