Thank you! Now to decide if its worth trying to level him (Sun confidant) a few ranks before I get one.

If you are trying to fuse one for the social link, I think that social link ranks up every time you go. Otherwise, not sure about the earliest you can fuse one.

oh really? I seen a guide the other day that told me to bring one along for rank up. Could have been an error on their part.
 
Does anyone know which enemies in Palace 5 drop liquid mercury? I see I got a few more during the course of the dungeon, but I don't really pay attention to item drops after battle and I'm far from 20.

Edit: It's

Finishing a palace early is the best feeling. All this free time!

Also damn I got addicted to the game tonight, it's gotten late...

they are
also the
polictician from the Sun arcana is
also an auto and
Sae for Judgment arcana
seems to be auto as you advance in the story as well

Motherfucking
politician
is auto? Ive been carrying around this stupid
sun
persona just in case he calls me >_>

So which types DON'T you need on you to advance ranks then (or help at least)?

Sun, Strength, Fool
?

He, I do the opposite. I secure the routd very early, but then wait until the last days to tackle the palace.

I wonder which is more effective?

I can do anything in the world!

Except stay up late, because of this dumb cat...

Doing it earlier is definitely better imo, feel much more relaxed compared to when I would wait until the last few days.

Also it makes sure that your friends won't continue to bug the hell out of you to go and get the treasure. Like damn guys, I get it already...

I did.
 
So is it worth (gameplay spoilers?)
jailing Personas? I haven't tried it yet, but shouldn't you keep upgrading Personas anyway? Is the resist they're talking about a passive skill or a natural trait?

Okay I can kind of understand why social link character development isn't acknowledged in the main story, but... Mishima "canonically" not knowing you're a phantom thief is the stupidest thing. He pretty much makes it clear during the trip to H
awaii
.
 

Papercuts

fired zero bullets in the orphanage.
I think my main issue with the 5th Palace arc in general is that
I don't feel a huge attachment to Haru or her father. Their entire introduction to the story feels a bit half-assed to me.

I think I feel the same, but I think the dungeon itself has been fine.
My problem was a total detachment to Morgana's dumb outburst that led to Haru/all this anyway. it was already heading towards him being the target but it was sped up a lot by it and feels like it has the biggest reach so far with the time limit.

anyone else notice that when using persona attacks, the characters' faces are just...gone? their eyes and mouths are still there, but the rest of their faces are black, lol. maybe it's just a bug on my end?

it's just how they make it look when they are supposed to be covering their face. not a bug

Yeah, this just happened a little while ago in my game, and I got really confused.
I thought that I was mistaken and maybe he just thought
you were like another fan of the phantom thieves? That he... told the requests to?
He does know in his confidants, right?

Sae seems like she took some inspiration from the older Naoto design in her novel.

I'm just now finding out it exists (and is apparently nebulously defined as sort-of-canon)

that's really weird since at the start of his social link he pretty much flat out says
that he knows you're one of the phantom thieves

True, they can get annoying xD Tho, I love being able to train and get SP items before going to conquer a Palace.

I really needed those cafe items right now with the Palace 2 boss.

As I recall it,
he is never explicitly told that the characters are the Phantom Thieves, he just comes at Joker after school one day and declares that he's 100% sure it's him. There are dialogue choices where you can continue to pretend like it isn't you, but as far as I've gotten in the game no one actually confirms his theory.

Sae doesn't look anything like older Naoto, hahaha.

Also PxD is mega trash. You probably don't want to read it.

I didn't start doing this until the 3rd palace, when people in this thread said that yea, doing it early is far more optimal.

Also pre-4th palace, I have 4 SP regen accessories, so I'm practically "invincible", and don't have to bother with making coffee and such, so that's been a massive help.

Third dungeon:
This dungeon is kicking my ass more than anything in this game so far, and it's all because I can't get my hands on any Bless magic,
so I'm in trouble every time an Orobas shows up. I'm about 99% sure the Angels that also spawn in this dungeon have Bless magic, but I have attempted to recruit them so many times, and every single time they end up giving me an item and leaving. Is there some other way I can fairly easily get Bless magic?

Gameplay spoiler, I guess?
Did you manage to "catch" the first treasure demon by any chance? If so, just get it from the "pokedex" and fuse it with something.

Pre/beginning of 3rd palace spoilers:
So first off, I'm really wondering what the deal with Goro is. He's clearly the "black-masked" person Madarame referred to,
since he heard Morgana talking about pancakes, so I'm assuming he's already capable of entering the Metaverse. I had assumed up until this point that he would eventually be a party member, but the fact that his social link started already has me suspicious. I'm also wondering what his true feelings are. He talks big about justice and stopping the Phantom Thieves, but someone has to be behind the psychotic breakdowns, right?

Also Makoto is great and I want to give her a hug. Based on trailers and stuff I assumed I would like her, but getting to know her character has really endeared me to her. Also she's just a badass in the Metaverse.

Confidant spoilers:

"You'll have to play the role of my boyfriend."

Yeah, "role"... we'll see about that sooner or later lol.
 
Oh I already know about Mara lol

Satan is pretty neat too. How often can you say that?
I don't live in a area that is heavily religious (of any kind), so pretty much anytime I want TBH. But you get the point?

I just made 650,000 yen confusing a mementos boss. Hopefully, I should be good with money for a while.

Now spend all that in the capsule machine. Speaking of which, is there any use for the stuff that you get from it?
 
Load times are crazy fast on PS4. I wonder how they compare on PS3.

My current position in the game ( still very early in)

Yeah, I need those SP accessories. I was working in that actually, but I just met 'Becky' and I got a little sidetracked lol

This game guys ... it good ....


I'm just really digging the laid back digital comic segments followed by planning and dungeon running. I've finished palace 1 and 2 and am caught up within Mementos and ... you know, suddenly it's after 1AM without even trying... I may have a cat on my bed in real life but she doesn't tell me to go to bed.


if I hadn't checked the time I might have just kept going all night... I don't even know when I last did that with anything. Even Zelda didn't hook me like this (I blame the lack of a story there).

So I have some questions again which I will spoiler(so don't highlight if you haven't played passed 06/11) -
I'm just playing on normal, got myself up to around level 20 for the whole party and I'm rocking a Nu that boosted itself to level 22 and a great fairy at level 19 along with a couple others for some elemental variety. Ryuji is at level 5, Ann is at level 3, sojiro is at level 2 , Takumi (the doctor) is at level 5, Mishima is level 4 and Goro is level 1, I still gotta get the politician (I've worked 2 nights at the noodle place) , I've equipped everyone with the best armor/melee weapons I can find/buy and finally I've managed to get all 5 stats to level 2 with a couple probably on their way to 3. I've also read 7 books now ? with 3 hangout spots to go to. Basically I'm wondering if I'm doing okay so far ?, I also have close to 80K yen. The only other question I have - is it worth hanging out with people when there's no chance of a rank up / they haven't requested it ? does it just take longer to level up that way ?

Anyway. I'm off to have jazzy music filled dreams.

Palace 5 and boss fight:
The second and third sections were much easier with Haru's gun ability. Outside of using one SP item, cleared in one go. Wasn't all that long either and I actually liked the last section other than having no easy ways to sneak up on enemies. Still short on the Eternal Lockpick items meaning I'll have to spend at least one more day crafting stuff, but the rest will be for the trophy.

The boss fight section was real tense, from chasing the ship down to taking out his robot army. A few close calls here and there including that Big Bang attack, but managed to pull through and beat down offbrand Darth Vader. Real shocker is that our buddy black mask off'd Okumura and I'm waiting on the backlash from that event now. I have my theory on who that guy is right now. Best guess is that it's Akechi, being manipulated by that politician with his sights on being top dog.
I guess I'll find out soon.

Having free time is awesome too. Finally started clearing confidants and manged to
start dating Makoto
but I still haven't gotten rank 10 with her quite yet. Tbh, I think I still should have gone with
Kawakami over Makoto
, but I'm going with a non-cheater run.

Finished Palace 2. 20 hours in now. My gaming in the past few months has been really badly skewed towards longass shit. 140 hours into FFXIV so far. 90+ hours to finish Zelda BotW. Now P5 is going to be another longass thing. Help.
