Does anyone have the URL to those screensavers you can use along with the cover that came with the game? I remember someone posted it either here or on the Vita thread a while ago.

I don't even understand how SOS actually works, like I've pressed the button and sent help, but what has it actually done?

You press the button, other player gets free health and sp. You press SOS to also recieve free boosts from other players. It's like one big circle-jerk. :v:

There's no reason not to do it between every fight other than the annoying little alarm that goes off every time.

Oh, man.

I was looking at my rescue request log and one person had the best message ever.

This guy had a picture of Nanako with the text reading "Every Day's Great At the Meat Dimension."

In Marie's third-level S.Link they bring up the fact that Chie always wears green. And then she goes clothes shopping and inadvertently keeps picking out green outfits. Ahahaha.

Even better: She has some kind of subconscious attraction to the colors that make green together.

His shadow would probably end up resenting having to take Nanako or some such. It would probably be the single most :smith: dungeon/boss ever.

Question about the custom difficulty:

You can't do the optional boss on NG+ if you choose Easy right? So how does the game factor in the different settings for whether you can fight the boss or not? (Maybe you can fight the boss on easy and I'm wrong)

Edit: They made the superboss get 2 turns in a row, which also means the time limit for the battle is cut in half... I don't think I'll be getting that trophy

I'd like to know this as well. I'm interested in just blasting through NG+ just for the sake of rushing through every fight and to try max out each S. Link.

edit: How do sentences, work, again?

It even has a chance of inflicting Rage, if I remember correctly.

If i were hit by a bus stop sign, I'd be pretty enraged as well.

My only real complaint about this game so far is that there's just too many good things for my teammates to learn. Social links give your buddy additional skills and its just too hard to pick the 10 moves I want them to have. :negative:

It makes every battle last 15 seconds longer for 5hp/3mp which in my bizarro world is way too long to be worth it. Unless, of course, I'm missing something.

Amounts gained change in proportion to your max hp/sp and the number of people who respond to your signal. If you get two or three people onboard, the gains can be pretty massive.

So apparently Nanako gives you the paper armband earlier in the game than in vanilla. I ranked first in the July finals and she gave it to me. Now I have MC with a fully leveled Black Frost with +5 to all stats. Shadow Mitsuo didn't even stand a chance.

I think they made the guardian(s) easier to catch since they didn't have a rumble feature to use. I caught both on my first try. I have no idea how I'm supposed to carry that thing on my bike to show the old man. That thing's ridiculous.

Ghoul is the sauna, and he appears semi-regularly for me.

And do the girlfriends have any benefits? In my original playthrough I think I romanced Rise, but that was a long time ago. Does it only change story?

It only affects how you interact with them outside of the main story. All of their persona/social link benefits will stay the same whether you stay friends or romance them.

There's supposed to be a very bad moment on Valentine's Day if you date more than one girl. I'm doing my usual process of pretending to be a playa womanizer just so the game can kick me out of the habit for my NG+.

Ok the void dungeon boss is totally loving stupid. I spend so much time and SP dealing with his fear and exhaustion poo poo that I can't do enough damage to him. When I finally break his main thing he just rebuilds it in two turns so I can get maybe one attack in because everyone else is trying to dispell the fear so he doesn't instant kill my party. I'm on my last day (I think?) and I don't have enough SP regeneration things to last even half the fight if I don't use teddie's energy shower to dispell the exhaustion.

The fight is so long and not fun at all.

Teddie's energy shower can be helpful for that fight. I usually just replace Yukiko for him in that fight. He knows mediarama right away and can act as a decent multi-purpose character.

If you haven't already, fuse Black Frost and level him up to get Agidyne. Mind Charge+Agidyne=Unstoppable.

So I've been playing for a while and I didn't think I was too under leveled at the low to mid seventies for Izanami's dungeon. Then I got to the boss and managed to clear her, only to be immediately thrown into another boss fight? How are you supposed to keep your team mates alive for the final megidolaon spam before she switches? My party was set up with Chie dealing physical damage, Naoto on magic damage, Yukiko switching between burning leaves and healing, with me bouncing back and forth between doing damage with Tam Lin and healing with Raphael. Honestly, I just don't see how you're supposed to fight a second boss immediately afterwards, considering you can't really buy SP-recovery items. I've heard that Yoshitsune is good for the fight, but I'm wondering if it would be worth the grind, seeing has how I haven't seen a whole lot of golden hands.

Great game though, and I'm really looking forward to new game+.

You want to keep a soma or two around because the final boss can be a bit of marathon (although not nearly as bad as the final boss in P3.) Try fusing a persona that knows debilitate; it's almost necessary to beat the boss on your first go. I know Trumpeter can be pretty useful in that fight.

Does anyone know of it's possible to ctach the Guardian during the winter? I swear, it wouldn't show up during the foggy days and now it won't show when it's snowing. I wanted to complete all quests and now I can't give Daidara a fish for him to create his masterpiece :(

Do you get anything other than a trophy and kickass sword, like a key item for summoning? Not that I'm complaining about the sword.

If you keep beating him, he'll continue dropping the best weapons for the rest of your party. Not worth the effort, in my opinion.

End game stuff:

You have to max Margaret's social link and beat the optional boss in Heaven before the final day. Right after getting the orb from Igor, you have to immediately go back to the velvet room to talk to Margaret. That's when she'll request to see you. Like an idiot, I talked to Izanami and went straight to the TV world and SAVED like an idiot. Now talking to Margaret won't accomplish anything.

Spoilers for end game contained. So I got the true ending and read Adachi's letter but I didn't see anything pop up to say I had maxed the social link. I had it at level 6 before Nanako got kidnapped. Am I missing something? My NG+ doesn't have an item for it either.

You missed your chance to level up further.

Without spoilers. In December, the game will ask if you want to go visit him in the middle of the story. You must have skipped it.
