Persona 5 Thread | "Let's call it a day and go to bed."

[El Babua]

Lost almost an hour of progress cause I thought I could take out a group of enemies instead of healing.

Overall, I'm actually doing pretty well when it comes to avoiding 1 turn deaths.

[Let's Cyber]

I have Thor, Siegfried and Raphael now for the 7th Palace. I'm broke as fuck but hopefully it is worth it. Level 58.

Siegfried blocking physical attacks.    Finally getting multiple Persona with no weaknesses or null skills to cover them up. 

[Joe Molotov]

Took me about 5 hours, but I blasted through the 7th Palace last night. This game has been great, but I'm getting ready to move into the endgame.

We've known since last year Hashino was moving on to direct a new IP but, yeah. Dude is a legend. Guess we'll see what direction they go with 6 under a new director.

[Rahxephon91]

Man the 7th Palace was really long, but those last few battles. Man this is what makes JRPGS so good. Awesome boss battles.

This really is one of the best games in a long time. One of the best jrpgs and really I don't know how they continue Persona after this. This really is a masterpeice and a culmination of P3 and P4. Like P6 will have to change it up.

How many more times can you fuse the same shit and max out social links corresponding to tarot deck arcana though?

For many folks: Many. I mean Visual Novels are a popular genre. (Says someone that is a fan of that genre)

[Boredfrom]

There is still a lot of Kaneko´s demons designs that still dont have 3d assets.

How many more times can you collect 150 pokemanz, he asked

Is much easier completing your compendium in Persona than core SMT games. You will be impressed how much bullshit requirements SMTIV games throw you to get some demons

[Let's Cyber]

They have a few Greek gods in the Persona games but their inclusions are spotty from title to title. Dionysus, Ares and Athena off the top of my head.

[Human Snorenado]

If they're gonna keep random inheritability from using gallows fusion to power up a persona (or whatever it's called in the next game) they should give you the option to fucking save in the velvet room.

[Joe Molotov]

When this song starts playing and you know it's time to get hype.

[thisismyusername]

If they're gonna keep random inheritability from using gallows fusion to power up a persona (or whatever it's called in the next game) they should give you the option to fucking save in the velvet room.

...you can.

Can you? I don't recall the ability to be able to.

[Boredfrom]

You can. Before you leave, the twins ask you if you are done here. If you say no, the game leaves you in the velvet room with the possibility of saving.

Hell, you can save before talking with Igor.

Getting Strength to rank 10 and fusing a level 81 Raphael with Sword Dance, Charge and Heat Riser at level 58. 

Spending most your money fusing it. 

[Human Snorenado]

Fucking derp. :-/

[Mr. Nobody]

Finally beat the game.

I still say it's better than 3 and 4 but not far and away like I initially thought. In fact, if you said 3 was better, I'd disagree but wouldn't be mad at you.

Apparently this is Hashino's last Persona. Curious to see how 6 turns out

[Human Snorenado]

Using Thor and Siegfried on NG+ is basically cheating

[Mr Gilhaney]

Beat the second palace. That was also kind of cool, but man, this game feels 2ez4me. Maybe I should switch to hard, which I never do in RPG's.


Yosuke seems like a huge taco. Can't wait to never use him.

[El Babua]

Game only starts to have some challenge during the last 3 or so dungeons.

Once you get the combat down, it's pretty easy till then.

[Mr Gilhaney]

I did finally die in the game at least, but that was me pushing my luck in a palace without any items or SP to heal myself with.

But well, enjoying it a lot anyway.

[thisismyusername]

Can't wait to never use him.

He's the best party member not named Makoto. Only Ryuji can beat him in regards to Physical attack skills. And that's only due to Ryuji having "Charge."

[Mr Gilhaney]

He's so annoying though, and his anime dress up for the palaces is the worst of all time. All time.

[thisismyusername]

Embrace the fabulous.

[Human Snorenado]

For whatever reason I was less annoyed with Yusuke outside of palaces/mementos than I was inside. Yup, I guess it's his stupid fucking costume, which is exceeded in awfulness only by Haru's.

[fistfulofmetal]

The boss for Futaba's Palace was pretty easy!

88 hours 26 minutes

[Rahxephon91]

95:13 for me. Game was amazing. My personal favorite Persona and one of best rpgs in a long time.

[Human Snorenado]

115 hours or so.

Yusuke and Futaba are a great comedy team.

[eleuin]

117, cutting it very close with a few slinks

being able to fuse higher lvl persona with strength 10 has made things so easy

[thisismyusername]

[Let's Cyber]

I think the 4th palace has the best palace theme of all of them. Fuck is it good.

This soundtrack is great. Meguro still has it.

[archie4208]

Whims of Fate

Ruse cruise theme was extremely disappointing in comparison.

In fact fuck the ruse cruise.  I'm still partway through there because it's such a slog to do the mouse hallways and I lost most of my motivation to play.

[eleuin]

Haru and Shinya the only slinks not maxed (at 9) before the final battle I'm red

[thisismyusername]

Oops. You're fucked.

Reload your saves and if you did anything before the final dungeon, do those instead of Video Games, reading, whatever.

Why? I barely invested any time on Haru. Lame character . Shinya was dope, his skill is really useful

Nah I've been focusing on slinks for a while now, spamming the fortune reading too

Some days in the past 2 weeks they just wouldn't show up at all, wish everyone would stick to an actual schedule. I had to do a bunch of activities for the first time as there was nothing else to do

I could go back but I can't be arsed to figure out what days I should be dedicating to specific stat improvements or confidant requests in momentos

I'll save that for a NG+ run in a few years

[Mr Gilhaney]

Yosuke seems like a huge taco. Can't wait to never use him.

Da fuq?

Come on now.

[bluemax]

If you make sure to ambush every enemy you see it's a cakewalk on normal.

I must suck or something because I got rekt a ton on Normal in the first palace. I also did it all in one go and of course this is a game that wants you to use magic but makes it impossible early on to restore your magic.

Honestly, the first palace is the hardest IMO. Once you get a good roster of personas, the game becomes much easier.

[thisismyusername]

The first dungeon is only hard because of the lack of SP regen. Do it on Hard and you'll see the issue. There's ways to "game" the system (use Silky's and their sleep attacks) to regen SP, but it's not simply "blow through this with knock-down and all out attacks" like Persona 3-4 were.

[Mr. Nobody]

Controversial opinion: Beneath The Mask and The Whims of Fate are the only good vocal tracks. Rivers in the Desert is "epic battle theme" shit I don't really care for. 

[Great Rumbler]

Nah, that's not a controversial opinion, just a bad one.

Fused a bunch of hot new demons for Shido.

Got my ass whooped.

Do you have a Rangda? Reflect phys helps a lot on the first form of the boss. Also, what difficulty are you playing on?

[archie4208]

Hard.  And yeah Rangda has been my Personafu for a long time.

[archie4208]

Took me like 3 tries, but I got him.  His first phase was the hardest because it repelled physical attacks.

[eleuin]

Beat the game, 129 hours with no grinding christ 

Null physical cards and mediaharn spam made the last month easy

[fistfulofmetal]

bout to max out Kawakami

This is fine too

[Let's Cyber]

Finally finished.

One of my top 10 games of all time. Same tier as Persona 3 for me but the QoL improvements probably make this a better game in the end.  Katsura Hashino is a fucking legend. I bought a PS2 slim so I'll probably start up my unfinished Persona 4 file this weekend sometime.
