I mean it’s not as bad as P5 where they tried to kill it entirely, but idk why they’re so willing to die on this hill especially for their lovely dancing games.

Drops from demons are all Assist Forma. They're used to make equipment, items etc. but you need Base Forma to go with it. Once you beat Orias for real, Irving gives the ability to start making equipment since he makes the Forma Search main app then. Need that to get Base Forma in the first place.
Ah ok, yeah I'm past that part. I just wasn't sure what these were for since none of them seemed to have been used.

I kind of get it with how weird Japan in general is about clamping down on soundtrack rips, but they've been making just strange authoritarian decisions like this constantly ever since P5 at least.

Yeah, okay, it's those Bronze diamonds that appear and can be seen on the map. A few are in fixed one-time locations but they mostly spawn in semi-random predetermined areas. AT is for Swords and Guns, DF is for Armor and AC is for Accessories and Items. Cores are for healing items specifically. Sometimes you'll get Base Forma instead, which is a mild annoyance but that's usually for rarer demons so it works out. Once you get the Base forma, you can see what else you need to unlock that piece of equipment which is nice and sensible. Every purchase requires the Forma as well though. Except Medicine, of course.

It makes way less sense with this, too
You could make a decent case that people streaming the story of 5 are reducing the demand in the population that is interested in that part of the game's. Who's going to say "well, I was going to buy it, but I saw a streamer do all the dances, so now I'm not interested."

I dunno, by most accounts the gameplay of P4D was mediocre (especially compared to, like, actual Hatsune Miku games), so I can see a lot of people being kind of ambivalent about actually playing the sequels while still kind of wanting to see the Persona 3 characters in glorious HD and thus opting to just watch youtube vids of it. Then factor in that it's two games, so there are people who may be "Well, I'll just buy one version and youtube the stuff from the other one," then factor in that people actually saw the $200 worth of DLC in action on youtube they might be, "Now that I've seen all these costumes in action, I'm kind of glad I didn't spend actual money on them because that would have been silly."

But really that says more about the product Atlus is trying to sell than it does about consumers.

Atlus has always been against posting images online. Persona 5 just happens to be the first Atlus developed game on a console that can tell you no, and reminds you throughout the game as trophy screenshots are blocked.

Giving all 16 characters and 7 navigators a fuckton of lines a comment on each different enemy type was really cool and would love 2 to continue that with the demons from 5 instead of generic shadows.

My first party wipe was with the first demonee-ho EX mission. Man those are hard!. I'm currently in the third sector. I think now I've been wiped like 15 times. All of those times were in the Womb.

Mine was just with a random unknown mob. I kinda hosed up and used Bufu on the wrong enemy. One of them had Rampage and killed my main healer, I thought I'd be ok (probably should have revived that demon) but I wasn't.

I only have 1 EX mission so far, and it's to find a Bead. Which so far I haven't had any of yet?? Normally SMT games give them out like candy.

There is a free DLC that gives you a bunch of free stuff, including a bead. That's how I got mine.

You’ll get a bead for killing the first sector’s boss.

I’m on my way to beat the boss of Carina and I’ve only died once from a very unfortunate encounter with a doppelgänger in the womb.

That was like 7 of my deaths. I kept reloading a save trying to beat it and it's 2 Nekomata friends, before I realized that my team wasn't good enough.

Make Persona 6 a game where you play as a teacher or professor and recruit a ragtag group of co-workers and students so you can keep the same structure people know and mostly love but not have it be a game about dating 15 year olds.

The other response wasn't correct. After you get Unlock B, you unlock an area on the first floor, and move up to the second floor. There will be a room where it says Horkos isn't there, although he sounds like next door. There should be a hidden door near there (you have to look at the wall) on the floor. Go into the room that leads to. I don't know if you still need help with this, but hopefully it will help people that have this problem in the future.
