Shin Megami Tensei / Persona Series: General Discussion

To find the targets do you just gotta aimlessly go through there? Im not sure if theres an indicator on which floor to go to aside from Morgana telling you a target is there once you get there

There’s no indicator. Morgana lets you know how close you are. Once you reach the floor the target is located they appear on the radar as a big red exclamation point.

it’ll tell you to keep finding a way down until you get to the floor then there will be a large exclamation mark on the map that you need to go find. its super easy and doesn’t really take much time at all although it does take up your time in the game.

i highly recommend doing them because Mishima boosts your experience gains for all members including those out of combat.

I got 4 active requests I think. I will try to knock them all out in a day or after I finish 3rd dungeon

man trying finish all the tumblers in one go is proving to be tiring. I just know as soon as i finish this room ill have to stop and send the calling card though so resting would just waste an entire day.

I feel you. I was pushing myself in the 3rd dungeon earlier until I was low on sp for everyone. Im at a part where I gotta find 2 keys

Is there a way to get out of mementos without having to retrace all the way back through every floor? I got down to level 4 but then had to manually retread the entire thing back to the entrance and never saw the quick travel option pop up in any room I was in…?

You can fast travel by accessing the overview map. Press R1 and it lets you fast travel all the safe spots you find.

Knocked out some mementos quests. Gonna try to finish dungeon 3 tomorrow. And i think after I beat it I will have a week of ingame time.

Ive been doing a bad job of balancing social links and stat building. Likes is 80/20 in favor of social links. Its only that way because these social links got hella benefits, but I also know I need stats to even start or progress social links so i will do better.

Right now focusing on nurse, ryuji, ann, mishima and uhhh housekeeper.

Idk. I feel i did way better at balancing in p4 which is weird since the whole gig was brand new to me

You can also fast travel straight to the beginning from any rest area or end area

For the longest time i was like “damn Kamoshida sounds like Wesker!!!” wtf wtf" but i wasn’t 100% sure until i saw this on YT today.

Been playing the game just some initial impressions…

Its kinda reminding me of all the things i hated about 3. Less time to do stuff, and basically impossible to get a 100% of everything unless you were using a guide. Where as I played through 4(note I played japanese version so i dunno if america ones are different)I remember each play through I almost got every link possible even with out a guide. THe idea that you need a guide to 100% complete a game is stupid to me. And from what it looks like in 5 youre gonna be rushed around to fast to actually do everything unless you use a guide…

Also in 3 for me personally I had TERRIBLE fucking luck in battles. Like death spells were killing me over 50% of the time and it really was annoying. Also way more specific enemies would do this if you had this on blah blah… Where as in 4… well honestly I dont recall dying in that game period untill I fought the secret boss. Anyway for 5 ive already died a shit load of times. Really annoying how if MC dies you auto die again instead of having a chance to revive him. I agree second boss huge difficulty spike as well. I guess I was under leveld though as I wasnt even high enough level to have a persona that knew a multi hit move to be able to beat him in the first place. Kinda lame when you HAVE to do certain things to win and its already so early in the game I feel but meh~

Not feeling the music as much as 4 or 3 either…

Anyway fun so far all that with standing, but its definitely been a bit irksome. Wish they would have had a japanese text option as well but what can ya do

If you want Japanese text too why wouldn’t you just get the Japanese version?

I’m in early June now. Starting to feel for Makoto.

you can play japanese games on a ps4? i didnt even know lol

PS4 is region free.

Could do it on PS3 too. I played the Japanese version of Nier:Automata on my US PS4 for example

How do I get Yusuke’s social link? The guy been in the crew for a month now and I still got nothing. I hope I don’t have to jump through hoops to get it like Kenji’s link in P4.

Talk to him in the subway terminal area in Shibuya. I think he should contact you himself though, he definitely contacted me by mid-June, though only recently

If you guys haven’t killed off all of your low level mementos bosses yet, you can farm them for infinite money. Just need a skill that confuses and a way to regenerate mana. They drop around 20k a turn.
