Im about 11-12 hrs in. Having so much fun. What i gotta get back in the grind of doing tho is definitely managing time. I hella forgot that you need certain social stats to do certain shit.
I should be fine if I follow my usually plan. Start of each time a dungeon is available i try to get all my grinding done and finish the dungeon asap without actually rushing, so i can spend the rest of the time doing social link and stat building.
I always prioritize social links with party members first due to battle benefits.
As a heads up, build up your kindness quicker, you need level 2 kindess to start social link with Ann
I totally remembered to save every save on a different slot so I can go back if I make a mistake. I wonder how tight the social link progression is? In P3, you basically had one path to maxing out your social links, but I hear P4 was more lenient (never finished it), I wonder where P5 lies in that respect…
So has anyone managed to get into a routine yet? I’m halfway through the second dungeon and I still haven’t gotten things figured out.
In P3 and P4 you had a lot more freedom since the story wasn’t nearly as direct as this one and the time periods were much longer. With this I feel like there are a lot more mandatory missions.
My usuall routine for P3&P4 was start of each dungeon time I would try to balance dungeon progress/grinding and school life. But I would always make sure im finished with the dungeon or at the end of it with time to spare to i can do social shit until the deadline
I got 17 days to do dungeon 2 but i feel like thats not enough time to balance it with social life and the side dungeon. I lost HELLA time from regular story progress. I know 17 days seems like a lot but shit. Gotta choose if I wanna use after school and evening for social/skill boosts or pick dungeon for a whole day. Man, feels more pressed for time in this one
