Okay, that's good to know. I was worried i'd have to start the Castle from the start again. Also, Persona's are just Stands, right? Like I get a real Jojo vibe off the same, especially season 4.

Honestly that would rule. I always found the persona series to be a bit lacking in persona user vs persona user combat and having a mirror team of antagonists (like in Persona 3 but better) would be great.

Just snagged this on sale, played most of vanilla (up to the boat) and fell off. 1. I remember the best SP recovery options were curry and the patches - is this changed? 2. Is it feasible to do a max S link run without a guide? Golden made it a lot easier with the extra month

The patches are still great, but Royal gives you a ton of other options to play around, as well as more accessories. If you explore a bit and try some things, you can get around without using the patches at all and still clear the palace in one day. There is a sidequest for every palace that restores a bit of SP, Mementos lets you buy a certain number of SP recovery items per run, there's also a drop item in Mementos that can potentially plop out lots of SP items, etc. I got mine maxed without a guide, mostly by abusing Fortune's relationship boosting ability. If you do that, along with the usual stuff like having a matching persona equipped and do some decent guessing for answers, you should be fine. Had a month to spare, plus the new month. Some social links have cutoff points now. Justice no longer ranks up automatically and you need to get it to Rank 8 before the obvious cutoff point. The new Councillor link has to be done before mid-November, which the game tells you about several times to make absolutely sure you get it. Both are required for the new month. Faith needs to be Rank 5 before the new month and I've heard that Sun becomes unavailable after the last palace.

Yeah SP usage is a lot less intensive now. The first dungeon will still push you but I found it much more feasible to clear it in one day, and from the second dungeon on it's much easier. I had the benefit of knowledge from my first playthrough, but I ended up with everyone maxed before the original end of the game with time to spare in Royal, and that's even with needing to do the three new links and small QoL stuff like darts. Devil is really just the most annoying one in my opinion since she has a few early ranks where you have to hang out with her a few times unless you abuse Fortune. Her skills are still the worst of the bunch despite them completely revamping hers and Hanged Man in Royal, too.

So P4G is on PC now, I always wanted to try this game since I saw a buddy play it in college way back in 2009. It's a lot of fun. And apparently now Atlas is considering Ports of their other Persona games. I am looking forward to a NG+ where I don't have to waste half my evenings reading books or studying (Keeping my max social stats). Also, I think I'm doing the game right, but while I've been fusing tons of different Persona's, I've held on to the starter Izanagi. Using skill cards, Shuffle Time level up skill cards, Persona stat boosts, and Shuffle Time level up Cards, I've gotten Izanagi to Lv 63 by Naoto's dungeon with top of the line skills. He's far and away the strongest Persona I got even though I have some of top tier Social Link personas in the party too. Crazy Joe Wilson fucked around with this message at 14:29 on Nov 10, 2020 |

I guess this is a big bump but I'm going through P5R for the first time after beating P5, and how many people got mad at the Okamura fight, because I imagine it's a lot. It's actually not a terrible idea for a fight, but given that it's a game that tends to have pretty quick fights, having a battle suddenly rely on relatively complex use of setting up baton pass chains with zero leadup to it (you can basically ignore baton pass chaining prior to this fight) was.... not a good decision. Also the arena fight in Sae's palace remains the funniest thing ever with physical reflect. I don't think it's possible to lose with that. anyway fundamentally i think this game is like what people say about Bethesda games where I can fixate on everything it does wrong but the core gameplay loop is so strong that I don't really care that much at the end of the day. Yuskue being a total loving weirdo goofball compared to his image is still my favorite cast quirk. e) also for all the changes I like that they still couldn't make Ohya's social link worth a poo poo. Which is a shame because I like her vibe Feels Villeneuve fucked around with this message at 18:36 on Nov 18, 2020 |

It ended up being basically luck based for me, relying on Morgana proccing with Miracle Punch to give me an extra stack for a complete Baton Pass move still only took like 45 minutes to complete but for a fight that's basically about getting the right series of moves in the right order, that's not very fun Feels Villeneuve fucked around with this message at 19:23 on Nov 18, 2020 |

I actually enjoyed the Okumura fight on Hard, though it's definitely made easier if you've started Star so you can swap party members as needed. I think my team was Ann/Yusuke/Haru to start, and then I swapped Haru for Morgana at some point, but it's been a while. Making use of the Psy/Curse attack items are helpful, as well as having a Persona with Marakunda. I think I enjoyed the idea of the Okumura fight because it's not often you get to pull out all the system's effects like weakness hitting, Baton Pass, etc. against a boss. I think the final big robot can also be critted which is nice for letting Yusuke get off his moves that power up after a Baton Pass.

before I played royal i suggested using the boatload of elemental attack items you were making in your evening free time to trigger baton pass and then i played it and proved my theory. I like to think the psy attack items are like aersolised LSD bombs you made in your attic.

I like it too, in theory, but the problem is that there simply isn't enough of the game that requires you to play it tactically at that level. It still annoys me that a lot of the bosses kind of just turn into pure damage-based brawls.

They were mostly just flavor for what was basically still a slugfest, but it added to the thievery theme. Honestly, just one boss fight that was basically a retreat to get away with the loot would have been great.

so I've never played a persona game before I beat the first boss and I'm sorta trying to work on getting my companions bonds / my stats up. I have a 2 in every stat except the one you boost from traps, and I've gotten a few ranks with every bond I've been introduced to so far. I'm on like 5/15 or something. I guess I'm trying to decide if I'm making good progress, or if I'm behind, etc.

The social stats are definitely annoying to raise. Remember to always have an unread book in case you get a free time slot to read on the train. Also every Sunday a stand in the subway corridor sells a drink that gives you some social Stat points without spending any time. Other than that I wouldn't worry too hard, unless you're outright skipping poo poo you aren't loving up as long as you're doing something productive. Also if you're playing Royal and not base P5 definitely don't worry. I maxed all social stats in 5R way too easily. Feels Villeneuve fucked around with this message at 08:31 on Nov 19, 2020 |

Also remember that some confidants like the death arcana give you social stats as you level them up. Those are good to do early on to shave off a few days of going studying etc. over the course of the game. It's not necessary but it's nice to give more leeway.

You'll feel dumb if you spend 6 months maxing all your stats then spend the rest of the game getting stats from social links that go into the void. Fortune gives an ability at a certain rank that lets you spend money every day to raise points with a confident if they aren't ready to level up. Unlocking this and using it is the most important thing to be able to max out everyone in one run. After that rank 10 Temeperance has a good ability that saves times.
