I played that part in English. I'm not there yet in my NG+ run. I enjoyed her English dub so I will probably like the Japanese one as well.

More like terrifying.
As he should. He gave me chills in Nocturne.

Started on Palace 3. That tease of Catherine music on the Wraith DVD. :( The Death Note similarities are starting to ring true for me, the Phantom Thieves feel very morally questionable.

Those stats! Didn't know he was only good with magic attacks.

I dropped Nocturne early. Really need to play through it.

But man those boss videos don't help. Bosses seem to have crazy amount of HP.

Is it the same person that does Chopper from One Piece? I heard that in a video the other day but I didn't follow up.

Yes Chopper and Pikachu voice actress.

Finished the 3rd arc, it was a bit of a letdown in comparison to the first two. Enjoyed the dungeon itself though, first half the enemies were really challenging.

Boss was too easy, but I may be a bit over leveled.

Did you just grind with
Reaper
and used skill cards to get those stats and skills on Arsene? How long did it take you to get that Arsene?

It was all done through the Gallows for leveling and skill inheriting. Extremely expensive, to say the least. Some save scumming were had, but for Arsene in particular, I was pretty lucky with getting all the skills I wanted on the first try.

What difficulty are you on? I was on normal up till the 3rd boss, and he was such a pushover I had to switch it up to hard.

Public Execution is making it really easy for me to fill in my compendium.

I might actually go for the trophy this time around.

I felt the same way but the protagonist's (and most of them really) is one of the nicest looking console themes I've ever seen, and Beneath The Mask instrumental is definitely a nice choice still.

They're pretty nice deals too, you get an awesome theme and three avatars.

Woah woah. Which of the themes you can buy play BTM? With vocals or without?

I cant believe im about to hit 100 hours in a game.

11/16

My confidants are at:
Makoto 9
Haru 2
Yusuke 9
Sojiro 8 (have mementos request)
Chihaya 8 (have mementos request)
Iwai 7 (need guts 5, at 4 but pretty sure I'm close)
Ohya 7
Shinya 7 (have mementos request)
Hifumi 7 (have mementos request)

What's the likelihood I'm able to max everything this run? Does it even look possible?

Normal as well, around level 27.

I thought most of the dungeons enemies were at a good level especially since many had little/no weaknesses, but the boss just sat there and hardly did anything. Compared to the 2nd at least which had me on my toes.

The game drags on so much. Jesus. I've played for 70 hours and almost to the end now at last.

I got to a 106 hours completed.

As much as I do love the game I do feel that it was maybe 20 hours overboard. The last 2 dungeons felt like too much of a drag for me.

The game gives you a preview of stat gains after leveling up when using the "Strengthen Persona" feature. You can manipulate a Persona's stats by repeatedly cancelling and entering. It's the best way to optimize Persona stats.

Is everyone else maxed already? I had this at 11/10 for comparison.

Makoto - 8
Haru - 1
Yusuke - 7
Sojiro - 9
Futaba - 8
Chihaya - 9
Iwai - 6
Ohya - 4
Shinya - 4
Hifumi - 7

With guts/proficiency at 4 and I maxed everyone, albeit on the literal last day possible.

I've done it in Dark Souls, Bloodborne, kingdom hearts, Okami, etc. But P5 will be the first single player game where I hit over 150 hours. Insane.

all the dark souls gamesfor me were like 50-80 hour games, depending on which one.

zelda was 70 a few weeks ago. I think I have over 100 in Skyrim but thats not in one playthrough.

yeah I cant remember the last 100 hour single player game I played. Especailly one where I WASNT burned out 20 hours before the end (im a little burned out now at 99 in palace 7 ill admit heh)

Yeah everyone else is maxed or story related/auto level. Sounds like I might be able to do it then. Was considering just going for books and games if it wasnt doable, but if i might be able to I'll give it a shot.

Edit: also- thanks!

The game is often aggravating. I feel it could have been over in 40 hours if it wasn't for repeating what just happened 5 minutes ago ad nauseam. There was a part where they would meet up and send text message basically saying they had no idea what to do next days after days.

7th Palace

+I really, really, really like the overall aesthetics of it. A ship filled with people who feed Shido's ego, while the rest of the world is ruins is perfect. In another life it would come across as rather silly, but considering how American society elected Donald fucking trump, it's basically prescient.
+Long final dungeons are my jam, and it really does feel like you're chipping away at this massive stronghold.
-This is more of a flaw with the game in general, but enemies shouldn't respawn when you leave rooms. The dungeon is littered with rooms and dungeons, so it drags.
-This is zany action / A crazy contraption /The fun is catchin' / It's Mousetrap! / The fun is catchin' / It's Mousetrap!

I'm pacing myself so it's not a straight shot to the end. Ultimately, so far so good though it could have been better.
 
POST FINAL BOSS SPOILERS
Do I strike a deal with Sae and turn myself into the police or nah?

edit: nvm I got to the end of the convo and realized
I didn't actually have a choice in the matter LMFAO

Is there a way to reset the party members skills somehow? I think I saw them mention something that you can use the church to relearn skills, or am I crazy

Once I change the Eigaon to a Maeigaon and level to 99, he's complete! I'm not sure if I want to deal with the Network Fusion RNG to get the Almighty Amp skill, but maybe in the next playthrough. Not exactly the most optimal set of skills, but whatever.

What's the "arcana" next to Confidant names mean?

Different Personas have different arcanas. Doing the Confidant for each corresponding arcana will give you an EXP boost when fusing Persona of that arcana as well as unlock better Personas to fuse from that arcana, and having a Persona of the matching arcana with you when speaking with a Confidant will allow you to rank up with that Confidant faster.

the game needed an editor badly - one of its few major flaws is that it's just way too long.
 
I'm fine with the game taking control away from you for a few days but there are points where the game takes it way too far and I just wanted to scream

I was debating starting a replay but there is no way I really want to go through all of that again so soon

Palace 7 is pretty fun so far. Very imaginative and the encounters are fun (hell yeah King Frost!). Music is great too.

I hope the quality doesn't drop.

Finally getting some time to dig into this (almost done with the second palace and it's great) but it feels so restrictive. Constantly shepherding me from one day to the next, feel like I've had no time for social links or leveling up stats. Hoepfully it opens up later on (guessing it does).

So do we have to wait another 8 years for persona 6?

Gonna get 1 or 2 spinoffs while Atlus thinks about what should happen in Persona 6. 1 spinoff is prolly gonna be goofy like Attack on Titan's funny highschool spinoff thing and another spinoff is prolly gonna be very serious.

Died to an instant kill skill when I was like 10 steps away from safe room. Sigh.

Don't give up!!!

Morgana is the worst cat in any medium ever. I hate the character so much.

You mad that Morgana is the voice that's telling you to go to bed early when you wanna do stuff? Lol I know it's annoying but its a very necessary gameplay mechanic. You'll grow to like Morgana. I'm positive of it. He's awesome.
