Plot wise, welp reached the point where the story is all spoiler heavy. Time to be quiet about spoilers...

No, now is the time to talk more about them.

Are Ultimate Personas in P5 achieved by maxing out Co-ops or by story progression?

Max co-ops except Morgana who is tied to story progression ala Teddie.

The Cooperative system is very similar to S.Links except most Coops have a unique bonus associated with them.

Btw persona fusions do unlock on maximizing coops again for whoever asked that question a while ago

Also Sadayo is the best loving character in this game, her max coop gives one of the most invaluable abilities in the game

Not every one is dungeon crawling but yeah. Devil gets you a reduced alert in dungeons, Death gets you better and cheaper items, Heirophant lets you brew coffee which can recover your SP in dungeons and so-on. The party members generally just have combat stuff (like the party links in P4) though Yusuke will duplicate skill cards for you and Morgana will unlock new thief tools to craft.

Edit: If I have one problem with P5 it is that the combination of 'high damage + game over on death of protagonist' really feels kinda bad. I've only died a couple of times but every time I have is to someone getting off a lucky crit that oneshots my protagonist. I started walking around with a phys-null persona as his default and that all but solved that but it's still annoying. They really should have just done what SMTIV did and let him get revived and pump up difficulty elsewhere. It's not a hard game at all on normal beyond that.

Yeah, pretty much all of my deaths have been because of this. The two other deaths I've had were from early boss ignorance and every boss after Madarame I've beaten first try.

It'd have to be the latter. Baton Touch is earned by leveling up that specific character's coop.

english copies of persona 5 will include a "dynamic spoiler sticker" covering goro's face. once the player reaches the point in which they acquiare goro, they may remove the sticker and reveal his face on the boxart. the sticker cannot be reapplied once it has been taken off

I'm gonna do a big write up of this game with about five million asterisks after I'm done with my first playthrough, because I actually have a lot to say about it. Not so much negative, so much as my big impressions and reactions to a lot of what it is doing probably. Not story wise, but just things I'm noticing that I feel like are very weird for this game to have.

NO SERIOUSLY SPOILERS BELOW. YOULL KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT IF YOU'VE GOTTEN TO IT.

Finally hit the bad end. I'm now doing the last dungeon I think.. Anyway, the set up for the casino was pretty well done, but I sort of wish they didn't explain it immediately after so that literally any baby could get the plot. The moment I saw it happen, I was just like 'dang, that's was pretty good story telling I understand it all completely'.

God bless the sun + lovers co-op's benefits. I love being able to hold up enemies, shake them down for money/goods, threateningly demand for more, and finish them off with an All Out Attack anyway. Though it seems like two shakedowns is the sweet number right now, trying for a third seems to just piss them off and have em call for backup most of the time.
