Aside from something just on 1/1, where is this stuff about a new semester coming from? I've heard about it before, so I assume someone is going off something in the Japanese.

And if that is a human Morgana <groan> I think they hewed a little too closely to Yusuke's design. Mainly the hair color.

It’s already be stated that we’re getting those three months later. The only possible explanation I can come up with that doesn’t require a large amount of rewrites is that Akechi survives and turns himself in so Joker and the rest of the Thieves can go free and deal with whatever other problem pops up after Yaldaboah dies.

That may be the point

They run into something that grants wishes or at least has them perceive that in the expanded content. Maybe a new villain or just an expansion of the Holy Grail scenes. This is probably why Wakaba is back and Morgana is human in some of the preview material. Odds are good its going to be a bad thing that the crew punches a deity to resolve and Morgana doesn't actually become human.

Oh, I remember someone mentioning a bit where people are shown themselves getting their desires. I don't know where they got that either, so I have to assume again it was something mentioned in Japanese somewhere.

When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change.

I beat Palace 3 this weekend and made it about halfway through Palace 4. Palace 3 was a bit of a slog and I didn't find the boss all that compelling compared to the first two (which I wiped to multiple times). I didn't even come anywhere close to dying to Piggie-Tron. Several of the mini-bosses had been much more touch-and-go.

Palace 4 and the events leading up to it have been more interesting but I think I'm way overleveled or overpowered for it? Like even red enemies are cake. I made a persona called Matador and he just seems to steamroll everything along with Principality and Suzaku. SP accessories are a godsend too.

Ann has grown on me a lot after I realized a lot of her scenes are about her wanting to find worthwhile female role models in pop culture and being unable to. She's genuinely struggling to be a better person and I appreciate that. I also like that she calls out the male characters when they're being perverts. I don't so much like that the game likes to play up those scenes in the animated sequences though.

When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change.

I finished Palace 4 last night. The boss was much tougher than Palace 3. It didn't help that I had Ryuji at first and his weakness to wind meant the boss got plenty of one mores. Is there any way to rearrange the party turn order during combat? I got trapped into this cycle of trying to get Ryuji back up only for him to get knocked out again before Joker got a turn to switch him out.

I liked the puzzles in Palace 4 more than Palace 3. Those tile rearrangement puzzles were interesting--especially the one with diagonal slices that you had to rotate. What I didn't like about Palace 3 was a lack of enemy variety. It felt like there were maybe 5 enemies and none of them were particularly challenging. Even the sarcophagus mini-bosses gave me no issues.

I hit the 40 hour mark right as I finished Palace 4. Could someone tell me approximately how far in I am?

Eight total dungeons, and the fifth and seventh are kinda long, so you'll end up at near the 80-hour mark most likely

There's about 8 dungeons in total, I think?

I think turn order can change if you let a character die and revive them, but otherwise it's totally static/consistent.

I think that's based on agility, so you could put + items on the ones you want to go earlier but idk how effective it is.

For random encounters it's based on stats, but for boss battles, it's always a set turn order.

I wish I could pick what comes over in a new game plus. Optimizing my schedule is a large part of what I find rewarding about the games. Beat Merciless of a new save but haven't gone back to fight the twins because starting a game with max social stats is so unappealing.

Just be ready. The latter half of the game is where things get a lot more intense. It’s very common to add another fifty or sixty hours onto the game just from that point. Also, just one piece of advice if you want the full ending: when the time comes, don’t be a snitch.
