I wasn't going to buy this game if it was English audio only and literally every snippet shown of the English dub justifies that stance.

I see you are following me to other threads with your bad opinions.

P4 english VA cast was extremely good so i'm looking forward to hearing all my new friends in P5.

I checked out training in my room and it says it boosts my hp. Is this all it does? Can I safely ignore it and focus on slinks instead or is there a hidden benefit like guts or something?

Also raising guts in the early game is really hard. I can't find a good source for it.

Look for books and movies that boost it. Also, do the big burger challenge when you have a free night; even when you fail you get two notes worth of Guts.

Oh nice. I'll check the burger thing out next time.

How much time should I realistically invest in the twins slink? Im on palace four and just got a shiisa but I have never heard of the ability its supposed to have and don't know how I'd get it.

Can I just bang out all these at once near the end of the game or should I put some focus into it during the story? It'll just end up being a Google job.

It can be done pretty easily near the end of the game all in one day. I did it super late but you might be able to do it before Palace 7? I'd recommend doing it early, their final ability is hella good.

edit: do it when you're level 52, I guess.


Ah cool. My main concern was that you could only do one rank a day or something so leaving it too late would bite me in the rear end. And yeah I want to up their rank for the bonuses early if I can. Just wish there was more in game info on skills and where to get them.

I unlocked fortune teller today and my first reading I chose to increase guts. After that I had Akira try the rank 3 burger challenge, day and night.

I'm amazed I didn't kill him.

I felt way behind on my stats around the third palace and then after I beat it I aimed for 3's in everything. By sheer luck, I hit 4 knowledge the day before the second round of school exams.

I haven't listened to any of the japanese dub of the game yet, but switching to the japanese audio would mean losing the little pieces of dialogue that the shadows have during fights and I think i'd miss them too much.

Hoo boy. Palace 5 is really handing me my rear end. I'm at the halfway point on my first trip in and SP is wearing dangerously thin. I've had to use rez items like 20 times already.
I think i'll have to break my "get to the treasure in one day" streak and make this a 2-day dungeon. :(


The only social link I have yet to unlock is (palace 5 and onwards spoilers) Harus, and I just found out i'll need 5 in proficiency to unlock it. Will I have enough time to finish her slink if I take my time getting to 5 proficiency? It took me ages to get to 4 and I was planning on blitzing through the rest of my current backlog of slinks for the next few months until I start needing other 5's.

Maybe i'll get lucky and get a few prof points slacking off in class.

Palace 5 seems like it would be a nightmare without proper preparation. I went in at level 40 and it was still a slog in places. Thankfully most weaknesses are pretty accessible (depending on Joker's personas) but it's an SP drain even with the SP Adhesive accessories.

EDIT: if you get to the barracks you're really pretty close with not many battles between you and the end, so if you can make it that far, you can finish it in a day.

Oh i'm definitely gonna try and get to the end on day 1, but like you said, I didn't exactly prepare for the slog. I imagine i'll run out of the few sp items I saved up till now.

I did it! I beat palace 5 in one day. The secret trick I used was Miracle Punch. Just nothing but Miracle Punch over and over.

Also I as extremely happy when (Devil slink spoils) I offered the mini cactus to Ohya cos I honestly didn't expect it to work so well.

Yesterday, I started to fuse the personas for the twins rank 7 request. I spent a ton of cash fusing the different personas needed to eventually create the 2 perfect personas to fuse together. I start the fuse and notice that I can't skip the cutscene. After it plays out I end up with a completely different goddamn persona.

REEEAAALLLY wish I knew this was possible before I spent all the money and forgot to save.

One thing I like this time around is that after getting to know the confidants a little better, you can tell which responses will result in the better link boost without having to look them up. Like for Iwai's slink, I knew that picking the snarkiest responses would get me 3 notes almost every time.

Instant Grat posted:

Fusion accidents suck, sorry.

If you saved the component personae in the compendium, you can recall them and try again for relatively cheap?

Yeah I was able to fuse from the register but it was still money down the drain.

Post palace 6 spoilers

GOROOOOO! Actually I kinda sorta expected that to happen. I wasn't really expecting him to go full Adachi though, that was great.

I'm really gonna miss palace 6, it was pretty neat between the music and general setting. The boss was annoying but I actually kinda enjoyed it.

I also started dating best girl Makoto, but she lost her awesome bike persona in the process. :(

edit: going into palace 7 I have Sun at rank 7, can I ever get those last 3 ranks in this same game file?

The 5th palace (Okumura) was probably the worst experience I've had in a Persona game.

The keycard labyrinth, the nonsensical airlock puzzle, the timed segments with respawning enemies, the timed end boss that was just a parade of mooks. If there's a question over whether I'll replay this game that dungeon is going to be a major decider. It was so glaringly bad compared to every other dungeon.

Don't forget the myriad of shadow enemies with repel-physical. gently caress that place forever.

Girimehkala and Arahabaki. Two is not myriad.

Girimehkala is weak to Expel Bless, like he is in basically every SMT game ever, so if you don't instant kill him that one's on you.

Arahabaki is weak to Psy and Nuke. Makoto alone can demolish the poo poo out of them without even really trying.

Like, sure, this can be a Bit Of A Problem when you're trying to Auto/Rush things but Shiki-Ouji also exists and was around way earlier when having decent alternative damage was maybe a little bit more awkward. By now you have easy access to every element.

Those two were way too common towards the end when I was out of sp. Yes I now know there are better ways to conserve sp available at that point but I didn't have them and it sucked not being able to use physical skills to get by.

If anything palace 5 taught me to be even more anal with conserving sp in future palaces so it has that going for it I guess.
