Is there any trick to fusing Neko Shogun with Dekaja, or do I just need to get Anzu to level 28 via Arcana Burst, Gallows, etc.? I could just do it the regular way but that's for scrubs and I am (apparently) a hardened criminal. :v:

Persona's level pretty slowly so doing it the regular way is for chumps. Treasure demons give you a 3x multiplier in the gallows BTW.

Are you unable to complete it if you haven't finished it before the end of the sixth dungeon?

Oh, this makes me think I should ask a broader question. I was planning on waiting to activate second awakening on all the teammates until after Palace 6 for thematic reasons. Will that work?

It might be a bit tricky considering how far along you have Haru, since she opens up her link right before the 6th palace and there's a Rank 5 Profiencey requirement to even start it. You have 23 Days to before Palace 7's deadline so you have everyone at Rank 9 but her, and her at Rank 1 at worst it'll take like 15 days if you nail the questions. You don't really have to worry much about that with Haru since she's receptive to a lot of answers. Only big problem is that party member S. Links aren't avaliable to hang out a week before a Palace's deadline cause they really want to be hitting that palace.

So basically it's possible on paper, but might get a little tight. If that's what you wanna do, have everyone at Rank 9 before Palace 6 starts and try to make a bit of headway with Haru before you clear it.

It looks like I have 6 periods of slack (plus number of remaining Kawakami massages) in the evening compared to daytime, so I'm going to only do confidants in the daytime, if possible. I'll be fine if I can get past Makoto's stat lock.

Makoto won me over the moment I noticed that she was actually following me. hiding her face behind a book.

In mementos, several of her lines are "Hey, have you guys heard about this 'manga'? This stuff is pretty interesting." Which makes it seem like she ended up reading the book she was hiding behind.

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

I thought he was secretly upset at this point that she hadn't exposed the phantom thieves, but I don't clearly remember when it happens.

Also I just realized that the entry cutscene before entering palace 5 means, Goro is totally gonna kill Okamura, isn't he?

Why would he have known that she was looking into the Phantom Thieves? I think that was their first on-screen interaction.

I assumed that Sae knew, but it's possible that the principal was the only person who knew. It's more likely Goro's just being a dick, although he's probably already strongly suspicious of Shujin students.

I'll say this to anyone, but Akechi being the traitor isn't the spoiler. The spoiler is how things continue: that everything looks like you lost and then it turns out you really won and now have your final real target.

"Information hidden to the narrative perspective is key to the protagonist's success" seems like a super common genre trick for thief picaresque though? I think what is unique about it is how big a role the story framing is given.

Which is fine with me, because making fun of Sae's behavior will never get old.

The older women all have a dialogue branch that goes,
Confidant: "Why did you keep showing up though?"
and if you don't choose, "I wanted to see you.", you never get to the romance warning.

Edit:
Oh yeah, and Chihiya has, "Say, Joker... Are you into older women?" which was pretty hilarious.

How does... Fortune Telling Hippy Lady's reading of affinity work? Does it give me an automatic boost to selected Confidant's affinity, or does it boost the points received next time I do something they like? If the former, it seems like something I should be doing every day, as it doesn't consume a timeslot.

It's dropping points right into the Confidant score. You may have a chance to verify this if you go to her while one of the Confidant's is available and the card changes to "Up!" She also provides a dialogue signifier for this by saying "You should be able to deepen your relationship now."
