From what I've heard it's utterly unforgiving on a first playthrough. The guide I saw suggests rotating saves constantly.

I'm debating buying a ps4 for this. I have an old PS3 lying around somewhere but it's missing a controller and I don't know how bad the graphics are on the PS3 version. Ugh!

PS3's fine. Your changes basically consist of slightly longer load times and less faceless people populating the city.

Holy moley, just watching the Giant Bomb quick look of the first hour and twenty minutes, and how they set up the story was already wearing super thin by like the midway point of that; Every single person acting like a massive piece of poo poo and treating a teenage boy who punched a rapist in the face and saved a woman as some kind of hard-bitten criminal was driving me insane. I'm assuming there's a bunch of catharsis and vindication as things go on story-wise, or at least I hope so anyway.

Not that it's ultimately a bad thing, just an observation. Seems like a good excuse to act like a dickhead yourself with the dialogue choices.

Japan is dumb about many things. This is one of them. It's a side effect of their cultural dumbness.

Pretty sure it does, but Rank 3 of Temperance lets you have them do it for you (They'll also make coffee). So just hold out a bit, I guess.

Question: I've never played Persona before. How concerned do I have to be with time management? Handling day phases, days, etc. ? Can I make this unwinnable, or, might I just have to restart at some point?

In the event that you somehow gently caress up bad enough that you hit your deadlines (which is hard in this game, since they remind you fairly regularly), Igor rewinds time a week for you, so not really.

So far all I do is bring Skull and Panther with the new whoever as the fourth for each dungeon. I rarely ever see the need to switch from that at the moment when the cat is just a healbot that sits out of most heists now.

Also gently caress throwing an item for that fatass Mafia nobody. I just smacked him off his little turd ball and took his machine gun bullets with a full on physical null. Eat it rear end in a top hat!

That was actually kind of entertaining for me.

"You should throw something to distract the guy!"

Is Sojiro's S.Link just incredibly time consuming, in comparison to the other confidants, to raise or am I missing something? Hanging out with a Hierophant Persona only gives 2 points, he doesn't want any gifts, and he never appears in other events. C'mon old man :argh:

Just to make it even better, he's got like 3 gates, one of which is plot. Most other characters only have the level 8/9 Confidant mission gates, but this poo poo gates at 5 for plot, Max Kindness at 7, and then his confidant mission.

MegaTen's pretty fond of feast-or-famine battle dynamics, though your options will open up and make things easier as you go.

e: Game over on MC death is a bit of a headscratcher after mainline dropped it though.

It's actually even more ridiculous, since in mainline they're your demons, and have no reason to stick around if you die. While in Persona, they're all your friends, and can't revive you because reasons.

Are weapons and armor completely pointless to buy again? I know this is a really redundant question to ask in Persona/SMT but it really needs to be asked again. The money sink is real.

Armor's good.

Not so much for armor as it's stat bonuses, mind.

Weapons are mostly eh, but the protagonist eventually gets a "steal on normal attack" ability that might make you feel like upgrading his weapon, I guess.

Ugh I just tried to rush the Temperance social link and I got to rank 9 right before summer break, partly because you lose both weekends to exams and having to go to bed early to prepare for hanging out with your friends, and apparently you can't rank up with her again until after school is back in session--there goes my plan to hit rank 10 and save 3 nights from Futaba's palace.

I'm convinced the game is specifically calculated to do this to you.

I just got access to Mementos. Is it worth it spending a day to just go in and do one quest? Cause it seems like we have the opportunity to do more than one if we get them available.

It's possible to do almost all quests in one run of Mementos.

The only reason you can't do them all in one is because some of them are gated behind other quests.

The persona games don't really have piercing in general. They only have the breaks (And there's never been a physical break)

That said, there is a thing that lets you get pierce gun. It's a max confidant bonus, though.
