Shin Megami Tensei / Persona Series: General Discussion

im really digging what they’re doing with Futaba.

Spoiler

she’s not just shy, but is literally mentally ill and suffering from schizophrenia. I personally know someone who had the same thing happen where his father killed himself and he saw the body as a child leading to him hallucinating even years down the line. thankfully he’s doing a lot better than she was.

this game hits a bit too close to home that’s 2 ive seen the effect of first hand.

Why has it taken me 24h to get through third palace…

Worth it for Makoto. She can ride me anyday.

Has anyone did the fortune teller social link? If so does she give gameplay benefits?

I got two days off… About to go hard in this game.

Holy shit, Sae is a fucking bitch!

im really starting to lose the immersion for this game because if i my phone rang even half as much as it does for this protagonist i would have chucked it out through a window and into oncoming traffic. im at a point where people are calling me in the middle of the night, while im sleeping, to to tell me they’re going to hang out tomorrow. even in a simulation its pissing me off.

yeah that moment is pretty fucked up. it feels like a poor translation or something as thats not something you say to somebody if you give even two shits about them.

Sae is a strong independent woman who don’t need no man.

Spoiler

It felt real to me. While I think does care about her sister she does think of her as a burden. She probably doesn’t want to be a parent to Makoto. I haven’t made too far yet but I’m sure she’s also taking out her resentment for their father on her too.

Spoiler

yes, but the phrasing was awful and there were better ways to say that even if she was frustrated. when roomates who aren’t family or even friends get frustrated that the other isn’t pulling their weight they don’t even say it like that because thats not a “we need to fix this issue” its a deep and very personal insult.

[details=Spoiler]Not true. People snap at each other and go too far all the time. There’s a reason Makoto is shocked by the outburst, because it hits her right in the insecurity she has about being useless.

Sae is completely obsessed with proving her strength as a self-made woman. She is providing for both of them, after all.[/details]

Getting wrecked by the 3rd palace right now.

Queen is bae.

All physical disc games are region free.
For DLC and PSN titles you need to set up another account with the country set to Japan. You also would need Japanese PSN cards as your US credit card would not work.

US DLC not compatible with Japanese Discs and vise versa.

Yo when is this Kaguya DLC coming out? I need my baby…

Edit: Found the schedule… https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.technobuffalo.com/2017/03/31/persona-5-dlc-release-schedule-and-prices-revealed-by-atlus-including-freebies/amp/

I’m also getting stomped by the 3rd dungeon. I don’t have a persona that uses holy attacks and Oni not having weaknesses is fucking me up.

I made it through just fine without any holy attacks. Ailment + Psi works very well and Morgana’s lucky punch is a good way to sit them down if they’re mixed in with other demons.

Otherwise just throw out multi-hit stuff like crazy. catching resistant demons in party wide attacks no longer will ruin your combo and hitting downed enemies won’t automatically stand them up. just go nuts

Are people playing on hard? I breezed through the 3rd dungeon for the most part, and the boss was the easiest yet. I’m actually considering switching to hard cause of how easy it’s been

I’m playing it on hard. Persona games become easy once you learn to exploit all the systems the game throws at you. Gaining strong personas with bullshit skills is easy once you get the basics of fusion. The only thing that balances it out is how difficult it is to maintain SP. The coffee I been making is not enough and the Sojiro link develops painfully slow for my liking.

Level up both Sojiro and Kawakami.

When you learn to make curry, you can make party-wide SP recovery. Kawakami will make you coffee.

Yeah Sojiro seems to grow really lovely slowly for me too

Needless to say, keep a Hierophant Persona on you.
