Shorty Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 Yeah it took me a while to even figure that one out, you can do it with Square on the Stats menu.
Magnus Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 And here I've been thinking that the tutorial pop-ups are always very clear and concise, but I guess that doesn't matter if people don't actually read them...
Daft Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 To be fair... It doesn't tell you how Kawakami's perk works until you actually try and wash something or make coffee. I thought it would make sense to call her on the phone as usual. Just like the save room, there isn't really a reason why it should work differently from how the start of a Palace works.
Magnus Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 I'm genuinely not sure if you misread Shorty's post and don't realize that you can change your party members at any time, anywhere in a palace. I don't know, I guess they could have made it clearer, but I read the tutorial pop-up about how you can change your party members on the stats menu, and just started changing party members whenever I felt like it without giving it any more thought. It just made sense to me that that's how it should work. It's like the revamped battle UI - I didn't even realize that they'd changed it until someone pointed it out. Of course skills are mapped to square and attack is mapped to X. It just makes sense. Isn't that how it's always been? (No, it's not, it turns out.)
martinist Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) So I've been trying to raise Sojiro's confidant rank from 3 to 4. kept saying "I don't think my bond with Sojiro will deepen soon" no matter how many times I did it. I'd get the blue notes every time I talked to him when the card icon was above his head but it wouldn't advance anything. Turns out I had to make coffee before it would alow me to advance it...i've wasted soooo many evenings >_> Edited April 25, 2017 by martinist Spelling

It just takes forever to rank up Sojiro early on. It's pretty annoying.
Magnus Posted April 26, 2017 Posted April 26, 2017 Whew, I had to replay two weeks, but I finally managed to max out all of my confidants with three days to spare before the final deadline. That's a huge relief. I was really worried about the nighttime confidants, but it ended up being one of the daytime confidants which forced me to go back to a previous save, when she randomly decided to be unavailable for four straight days.
Hero-of-Time Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 I was really worried about the nighttime confidants, but it ended up being one of the daytime confidants which forced me to go back to a previous save, when she randomly decided to be unavailable for four straight days. Let me guess, was it Haru? Same thing happened to me and I had to reload a previous save because I had spent time with Shinya rather than her. That one decision screwed me over due to her not showing up for several days.
Magnus Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Haha, yeah, that's exactly what happened to me. It's so random too, since she's available almost every single day up until that point. And then on the final week, she completely ghosts you.
Shorty Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 Who's gone for plat? Do you need to look up any of the secret trophies to feasibly do it on your NG+ playthrough?
Hero-of-Time Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 Who's gone for plat? Do you need to look up any of the secret trophies to feasibly do it on your NG+ playthrough? There are 3 that can only be done on NG+. One is complete the compendium, which goes hand in hand with another trophy, and the other is defeating a secret boss. For the secret boss I would recommend checking out the build of that Persona that I posted a while back. Carrying that over into NG+ will make the fight stupidly easy.

Any chance you could post just the persona details so I can get it without spoiling what the boss is? :p
Magnus Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 The link he posted doesn't actually spoil the boss as far as I can tell.
Hero-of-Time Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 Any chance you could post just the persona details so I can get it without spoiling what the boss is? :p Here's an image from the link showing you which Persona you need and what moves they should have before fusing them. 1. Futsunushi with Repel Curse Fuse Sandalphon (level 78+ for Repel Curse) with Narcissus 2. Yatagarasu with Drain Ice Fuse Satan (level 98+ for Drain Ice) with High Pixie 3. Okuninushi with Drain Psy, Drain Wind, Drain Nuke Fuse Ishtar (natural Drain Wind) with Chi You (level 90+ for Drain Psy) to create Gabriel Fuse Gabriel with Atropos to create Kali Bring Kali to level 82+ to learn Drain Nuke Fuse Kali with Silky 4. & 5. Arahabaki and Shiki-Ouji Summon these two personas. Their skills don’t matter. With all five required personas in your stock, go to Advanced Fusion and create Yoshitsune and use the five empty skill slots to inherit Drain Wind, Drain Ice, Drain Nuke, Drain Psy, and Repel Curse.
dan-likes-trees Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 So - how are you guys enjoying this? Anyone finished it? Might make it my post-Zelda game, but I'm noticing that I've seen noone truely excited about it; for all the great reviews it doesn't seem to have the thrill factor that I've seen on other threads, even Horizon et all. My other question is; pretty sure I'll never ever finish it with that 90 hour runtime - is it worth playing with a view of only getting a third of the way through or so?

My other question is; pretty sure I'll never ever finish it with that 90 hour runtime - is it worth playing with a view of only getting a third of the way through or so? The game is fantastic. I maintain that there isn't as much of a buzz because people don't want spoilers. They don't want to chat about the game until they've finished it. And it took me over 120 hours to finish it. Even by the time you get to the end, it was such a sprawling tale that it's hard to stop and reflect on much but the ending, so you're going to be hiding that in spoiler tags if you have the energy to discuss it at all. Personally Persona games are a personal (...yea I'm keeping that) experience and I'm not that interested in discussing or gushing over it. Simply it was a natural evolution for the series, ramping up the style and animation, bringing in a load of new features and taking out the random aspect of the dungeons. It doesn't beat P4G for me, but it was a fantastic entry to the series. To answer your last question, no it's probably not worth only playing a third of, there's a long drawn out opening and you won't meet most of the players or uncover any of the mystery so...

Sheikah Posted May 15, 2017 Posted May 15, 2017 It's one of the best games on the PS4. A genuine must buy.
Happenstance Posted December 30, 2018 Author Posted December 30, 2018 It's looking like there will be a big Persona 5 announcement today in around 3 hours time. From what people have seen from leaked web domains etc it might be the announcement of a "Golden" style release, possibly on Switch as well which would line up with the Smash Bros character reveal. Will be nice to get more people playing this awesome series if so. 1
Tim B Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 I really want Persona 5 on the Switch! I wonder if the Nintendo announcement would be held back for the January Direct though?

Happenstance Posted December 30, 2018 Author Posted December 30, 2018 It's on TV not streamed. I'm following the Era thread but I'll post here if anything comes of it. It's an hour long special so we should know something within the hour. 1
Happenstance Posted December 30, 2018 Author Posted December 30, 2018 New projects confirmed with more info coming in March. Only a PlayStation logo shown. https://p5r.jp/ 3
Shorty Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 A trailer for the release of new information? and there was me getting my hopes up on first watch that we were getting something new in March
martinist Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 I really need to finish this game. I'm in late December and I need to go fight the final boss thing whatever it is.
