Yeah…I’m looking at you Iwai. And Ohya. Because really, Ohya is the “Confidant you spend time with when you have legit nothing else to do”. I put off Shinya/Tower more than I should have so I think he’ll wind up as the only Day Confidant I don’t max (since I doubt I can go from Rank 4 to Rank 10 in 12 days since there’s gonna be the Mementos blocking part too), even though he seems useful.
I’m in November, so I probably won’t have time max Shinya at this point. I doubt I’ll play a NG+, but there’s always the possibility.
It’s weird, but I didn’t spend much time capturing and building up my Persona registry. In a game full so somewhat tedious things, that aspect seemed the most tedious and I had no interest in it at all.
I am currently in relationships w/ the teacher, doctor, Anne, Makoto and Hifumi though lol.
The thing is, getting Level 4 guts takes a long time, and there aren’t many things it is needed for outside of Iwai. I’d rather put the time into maxing Charm for Makoto.
I hit all max links my second time through. You get bonuses for anyone you’ve maxed out previously, so it’s much easier. Also, max out kawakami and chihaya early as possible so you can use their ability for more time and bonuses.
The persona registry is the easiest thing to do. Whenever you go on a dungeon run capture any persona you don’t have and fuse the ones you don’t have any need for. Trust me, you will need some fused persona for the endgame.
I didn’t have too much trouble maxing out anything - especially guts. Early in the game, I always studied at the library to get Knowledge and Guts, then whenever I didn’t have anything pressing at night, I’d just take the challenge at BBB. I’ve got all my stats maxed. Could’ve done it sooner, but I prioritized maxing out a couple contacts and working on neglected party members I never use (Haru and Yasuke).
I really liked Yusuke because of his physical counters. Counter Strike triggered way more often than 15% for me.
Also is there really even a point to using Rage? There was a sub boss during a palace that hit one of my party members with Rage, and then she attacked it for a critical of 400+ damage lol
Btw what are some of your experiences with network fusion? I gambled a Lv29 Leanan Shide and it gave me back a Lv55 Raja Naga
Rage raises atk but forces them to do normal attacks and iirc lowers acc/eva too. It’s great on enemies that rely on casting, but I definitely think it’s one of those statuses that is more of a hindrance to the player than it is for an enemy.
Yeah, I know what you mean on his Counters for sure. I normally use Ann, Yusuke, and Makoto, while on occasion swapping Ann out for Ryuji or Morgana if they’re strong to fire/depending on weaknesses. I pretty much never use Haru, but part of that is not much seems weak against Psy or Gun come November/December.
Yea, anyone weak to Psi, I can usually find a Persona on protag to take advantage of it.
EDIT: How about some fun? What did everyone name Protag? I named him Sanders Kojima.
I always get a kick out of hearing what people rename characters to. Back in HS, my best friend renamed Squall from FFVIII after himself - Larry. It was simplistically hilarious.
