Are the difficulties in this similar to P3/4 where the hard modes the first time thru tend to be annoying rather than challenging? I'll just go with normal if so.

The real challenge is going to be time management more then anything else so don't worry about the difficulty level.

Honesty trying to tell who is the real victim in that relationship is an academic one at best as the amount of poo poo that both have to deal with is horrifying.

On a gameplay note I don't remember knowledge being such a pain to level up.

So I had some trouble with the boss of the second dungeon. A combination of not having the right healing items and trying to handle the fight with grace made the entire thing a nightmare. Then I decided to go gently caress it all and spam rampage as the game thankfully does not use the press turn system. Once I did that the boss went down easily enough.

Also I am loving Makato so far as seeing her follow me in the rain was adorable.

As a general point make sure you are doing the Strength link. For the 2nd and 3rd boss the persona they wanted me to make was a major part of my success. In terms of social stats I am just about to take the final in July and have finally manged to raise my charm to 3 (started late on the sun s-link) which is equal to every other stat I have besides knowledge which is 4.

jesus, either your s links are lower than mine or I've somehow wasted a LOT of time

My social links are a bit lopsided. In general I prefer just getting the stats up first so that when it comes to a second play through I can just relax and focus on the links.

I've never really played a Persona game before, how badly can I gently caress my poo poo up if I don't follow a guide?

Going in without a guide what so ever may be a bit much. If you allow yourself to look up answers to questions in class, how to start certain social links, and how to fuse the persona you want then you will do just fine. All three issues are things that you should feel no shame in looking up as a lot of the lesson stuff will be about material that chances are you have not even heard about, some of the social links take a lot of effort to start, and figuring out the fusion charts is a nightmare.

I see people doing laundry when I check the Network stuff, but whenever I go there Morgana just says I need to have something dirty to wash. What does doing laundry get you, and how do I get dirty??

When you pick up dirty (cursed) items in the dungeon you can go wash them to get you more stuff.

Huh, I haven't missed a single loot object in any dungeon (I've completed the first two palaces and done a fair bit of Mementos) and I never got one. RNG I guess?

I think so as while I have yet to do laundry I have picked up a couple pieces of dirty clothes in the early dungeons.

Stray thoughts~

Kind of upset at how fast I beat the second dungeon boss that I didn't even get to do the special order. It's funny how the same Personas/Demons are useful in every game. Right now I have Leanan Sidhe as my boss magic user and Oni as my physical guy. That carried me through a lot of SMT4.

Is there a costume / clothes shop to buy other outfits or did they make them all DLC from other games?

The only time I saw him go back into the painting for a third time was when half my team was dead and I was waiting for a reset.

Use multiple hitting physical attacks (Rampage?) with Ryuji, Yusuke, Joker to kill the eyes and nose. Then use spells to finish off the mouth. Nuke the boss when he shows up with everything. Repeat.

In a weird way this endeared me to the boss as it goes against almost every instinct the SMT games have put in me.

If you have a persona of the same arcana then the range is 0-3. If you do not have a persona of the same arcana then the range is 0-2. Of course for some options there is no way to actually net any points.

How much SP do I need to beat the boss of the first palace? Playing on normal, level 10. I've reached the throne room where you look down on him, but I was thinking of doing some more grinding before fighting him.

Grind as much as you want as you have to leave the dungeon before you get a chance to fight him.
