Persona series

Everytime someone links one of those I always find amazing videos in the sidelinks.

Sooooooooo exactly like in P 3 P.

Pretty much. Watch out from Naoto's Dungeon onwards because they pack counter skills and can mess you up if they kick in.

Reminds me of a scene from the manga where Iwai mentions how Makoto was in looking for brass knuckles and tells Joker not to get on her bad side.

I remember that one.

Someone posted it before...it might have been me in fact.

Is there a was to fix the MC being severely overlevelled compared to the party ? Like, I'm level 61, the rest of the party's level 51-54 at best. And I don't see how I'm supposed to fix this since I have to rotate the party but can't drop the MC. The shadows on the new floors are already scared of me before I even fight one.

Am i supposed to like, tell them to split up, hunt shadows while I wait at the stairs for the reaper ?

Beat Kamoshida.

I wasted a day because I didn't know about the calling card thing :| . Oh well. In general I felt like I didn't do it all that efficiently. It's hard to stay in the palaces for as long as i'd like since if you fight most of the battles (which I make a point of doing to get money and experience) your SP gets worn down and there doesn't seem to be an easy way of buying SP-replenishing items atm.

The boss fight with Kamoshida was...honestly kind of an anti-climax. There were mook shadows that were

There is no SP regenerating in Persona 5, making it all the way to the end of the first dungeon in one go is the true challenge in the game.

The rest of the dungeons its a lot easier or they have enforced break points which you cant progress till you leave and come back.

Dancing Futaba

Only sharing for the sick-ass version of The Days When My Mother Was There

Futaba and Haru do more in three seconds of the Dancing opening than they in the entire P5 one.

That's cause the opening of P5 was made at least year before the game actually anything more than concept images of the starting 4 characters.

Still funny as Hell how they got shafted.

All the later thieves got screwed.

I don't mind.

There's SP restoration in the form of an accessory you can buy by raising your Death confidant. Otherwise yes, you need to be careful with resource management. Use physical skills, buy drinks, make coffee and so on.

Haru and Sojiro's Confidants allow you to create SP restoring items

Sojiro's Confidant is available early in the game, but Haru's Confidant only pops up after the story is over halfway through.

SP management has been the main limiting factor for dungeoncrawling in Persona games since they got rid of the tireness mechanic after P3 FES, so the lack of easy SP-restore items is deliberate.... and once you get around it, the game basically breaks in half (at least as far as "beating dungeons in a day" goes).

Maybe I'm mistaken but I seem to recall SP recovery items were more easily available in Persona 4, you literally just went to the pharmacy and bought them. In P5 according to what I'm reading your main source of reliable SP recovery is drinks from vending machines early game.

It's also why physical skills are so damn good.

I think the only later thief who didn't get screwed was Makoto...BOY did the developers love her.

Well its worked to her benefit.

She's clearly reaping in the rewards of popularity.

I guess you could say she's the queen?

Speaking of Makoto, it always surprises me a little how pretty she is. Like she isn't super sexy or cute or anything, she just has a really pretty face.

I kinda want to use Yosuke this time over Ryuji, but sadly he doesn't learn Matarukaja like Ryuji does. And I don't think he learns Charge, right?

Makoto being so good-looking without being stereotypically Anime about it is part of the reason I like her. Simple, yet appealing design.

And no, Yusuke doesn't get Charge. There's really no reason to use him over Ryuji, they get similar skills, but Ryuji gets Matarakuja and Charge and is much tankier.

Yusuke does not get Charge, I think. He did pretty okay on my run though, even with Ryuji active at the same time.
