You just have to miss a deadline for a palace. Not securing a treasure route in time, not sending the calling card, or just choosing not to go into the palace when a treasure appears.
Good to know though. I did praise the 3rd palace for dealing in some dark shit. Actually having the balls to taking that all the way deserves some respect.
Fuck. I’m in “that was a legitimately great game”-withdrawal. I just bought Tales of Zestiria on sale and was planning on playing that, but I’m seriously considering NG±ing Persona 5. Why aren’t any of the older Persona on PS Plus or Steam? ;_;
Finished last night w/ the true ending. Enjoyed my first Persona game, but I don’t see myself doing a NG+ right now. I’ve said it before - a lot of the conversations are either unnecessary or at the very least incredibly long winded and bad localization didn’t help the situation. I FF’d a ton of conversations and didn’t miss a thing. This is my only knock on the game. Fix that and it’s a masterpiece.
They did an amazing job juggling all the different systems present. I’m very curious to see what the combat would be like if I leveled Iwai and the gamer kid, which would make guns a ton more useful than they were for me. I also enjoyed the ending and the things they allowed you to do during it.
I’m not going to rule out a NG+, but I definitely need a break and palette cleanse from P5 at the moment.
For the curious, if/when I do a NG+:
[list]
[] Definitely max Mishima. I didn’t realize how awesome his perks were until a little too late, b/c early game he’s annoying
[] Max Sojiro
[] Max Gamer Kid and Iwai for improved gunplay and more options during combat
[] Since I won’t have to worry about social stats (maxed them all) or a handful of confidants that will be easy to max again, I’ll should have a lot more time to explore and experience more of the niche things in the game
[/list]
Mishima has moments of being a dick in his Confidant sure, but the flaws and stuff he goes through with his whole growth bit in his Confidant really help make him more relatable.
Also, it’ll be good to actually be able to max Iwai on my NG+ when I do it, and to remember to max out Shinya, since I only got him to 6. Well, and probably Max Sun too, since that should be easy enough to do since apparently him and Mishima will always level up each time you hang out with them.
