He's also on the box-art in Phantom Thief garb. The only way to not know is to not look at the game when you get it, not watch the anime op that plays like 3 minutes in and then ignore every scene he's in after his first one. At which point, you wouldn't care anyway because you're ignoring like half the game's cutscenes already so

Were the lyrics to Rivers in the Desert written by a different person than whoever wrote the lyrics to all the other songs in P5/R/S? It's the only one where I don't stop and think "wait, what the gently caress?" at half the lines.

Off the top of my head, all the lyrics for every song was written by Benjamin Franklin. I know he does a lot of stuff (God Eater tracks come to mind), but good luck finding most of them for obvious reasons. :v:

I can only imagine that guides probably recommend level 15 for that fight because the boss is level 15. That's unreasonably high, though, so don't worry about it. In Golden in particular, they have a lot more HP than you'd expect for so early but have a weakness to ___Ice___ added to compensate.

I've said it before, but I'm gonna make the bold declaration that the P4 anime is arguably a better way to experience the original than playing the game.

P4G has like maybe one good episode, and no one should watch anything in it except the Narukami vs Adachi fight, especially after they both functionally run out of SP. Ideally as a clip on Youtube, so you can just skip to it immediately.

I think, at absolute minimum, her main ability feels backwards. She's a journalist, so she should could be used to increase the Thieves' notoriety and in turn give an increase to the Security Level, not a reduction. That'd be a more useful thing, if she really has to play with that, since it feels underimplemented as is and you want it higher for more Treasure Demons anyway.

Having her guarantee Treasure Demons would also be cool, but I think it should be a later rank ability, if not a capstone, rather than incidentally happen along the way.

Probably worth keeping in mind that the intended audience is primarily high-school age teenagers and not the already embittered adults that likely make up most, if not all, the people posting here.

Yosuke's dad definitely knows about him, considering he hires Teddie and all.

But for where he stays, I find it quite hard to forget that Teddie, as a pretty boy, literally lives in Yosuke's closet.

spamming Tarukaja 4 times and attacking. (In all the non-Persona SMT games the skills like Tarukaja affect the whole party and never run out but they go up by 4 tiers).

At that point in the series, Tarukaja and Makakaja could stack 8 times!

Rakukaja and Sukukaja were still only 4 though.

I'm only at Madarame's Palace in Royal, since I finally started playing through it a few days ago, and I can't wait for Yoshizawa to like have a personality or character or literally anything. Maruki's intrro cutscene told me more about him as a person than the like five scenes that have included Yoshizawa have told me about her combined. So far, the game has spent more time on multiple cutscenes letting me know she has a ponytail (like this is big pivotal information that needs exposition, repeatedly, so you don't miss it!) than anything about her as a person. The closest was that one scene with an old lady on the train which is just generic "she is a good person" stuff and like... okay. I'm sure she'll get there eventually, but like this is very silly and not in the fun enjoyable way.

That's a popular fan theory supported by literally nothing. There was no mention of any sibling that died on the bridge with Makoto's parents, there's no indication at any point he's not an only child never mind a twin. I don't know where it first came from, but there's nothing in the games to point to it at all. There's a visual thing in one of the anime movies that implies he may have (had) a younger brother but that's the closest.

3rd Semester in Royal opening with a "walk around all of Tokyo and talk to your friends. 1 per day" bit should be quick and easy despite already being artificially padded to waste your time, but then straight up removing quick travel on top of that just serves to make it so incredibly tedious jeez

drat I think I might be overleveled, I'm just instakilling the enemies in the December Palace.

Also for some reason I can't get Futunshi or whatever to show up while fusing. Also couldn't get Cu Chulain to show up when fusing the Faith Personas a tier above and under him together for some reason, even though it worked with Network fusion.

Fusioning is confusioning.

One of the worst things about doing my Royal playthrough on Merciless was instakilling so many things so often from the fourth palace onwards. Turns out that now gives 120% base EXP, which is very silly and dumb. In vanilla, it only gave 40% so it made things actually tougher to handle. Instakilling also now giving EXP on top of a free Persona makes it a neverending snowball effect too. So I think being overlevelled is just the natural state of Royal, even without taking advantage of all its new wacky OP poo poo.

As for Cu Chulainn, he's probably one of the Personae that you cannot make at all until midway through January if you can't get him normally. The easiest way to tell for sure is to try and rank up/down the one below (Atavaka)/above (Siegfried) him. If he gets skipped by that, he's locked off until later. In order to make him by fusing two Faith personae, you need to use Atavaka and the Rank 10 unlock.

I've generally found that the people who said Merciless is easier than Hard are a bit wrong.

While weaknesses do more damage, most difficult enemies don't have weaknesses (and enemies with weaknesses were always pretty easy, even on Hard). So in the end it's sort of like "Hard, but you do a bit less damage and have to be more careful about compensating for your own elemental weaknesses."

You're forgetting Technicals. They are also boosted in Merciless and deal way more damage than weaknesses (though don't always let you Baton Pass... until you play enough pool). Shadows not having a weakness is absolutely irrelevant.

Yeah the writers kinda shot themselves in the foot by trying to play this coy game of hiding Shido from the player to hold back the "reveal" of him being the one who falsely accused Joker, even though anybody with two brain cells to rub together will realize this the as soon as you bump into him at the buffet in the early game.

They don't hide that at all, though. Once you run into him there, you get a still image flashback so you, the player, know for a fact that he is the same guy (though it is still very obvious without that, yes). That does make it dafter that Joker doesn't realise for months on end especially since he's like "oh I know this guy from somewhere! Eh, not important I guess" but also there is this thing called dramatic irony that it's trying to use but completely whiffing on.

I did that fight on Merciless and Samael in the 1v1 just cycled elements in a real obvious easy pattern. He did sometimes throw in an Almighty attack but I think that was a response to trying to repel? He would gladly heal me when I used drain for my resistance at least. No Physical (or Gun) stuff at any point, but the fight didn't last too long at that point so maybe that would've come later.

Hmm. Does that mean I’d need to fuse to base personas of the ingredients first?

No, it uses the average base level+1 of the two ingredients for a normal fusion. It looks for the nearest value that result is equal to or less than.

Regular Sun personae, however, is Triangle fusion only in P3 which gives no fucks at all about levels. Yatagarasu/Quetzalcoatl shows that really easily, in fact, since Yatagarasu is level 30 and Quetzalcoatl is 43 but the cheapest way to get Quetzalcoatl has an average+1 of 27.
