Damn, I hate it when you mishear lyrics and the real lyrics are lamer.

I keep hearing Lotus Juice saying "get wrecked" right before the chorus in "It's Going Down Now" but it's apparently "get ready". One more god rejected.
Same thing happened to me with Red Sun from Revengeance where I hear "find the peace within ourselves, no need for a cure" as "violence breeds within ourselves, no need for a cure", and even after knowing the actual lyrics I can't hear it as that because Sundowner is exactly that type of character.

This reading actually works out a lot in P3 based on Makotos dialogue options and how he reacted to the first Dark Hour. Dude can come off a little psychopathic. That he invests in these relationships purely to strengthen his velvet room powers

The MC in this game is a unfazed bad ass. I don't even care if I get spoiled on anything in this game even new ancillary stuff or side content. I may play it someday. FeMC I found out gets to use a hockey goaltenders stick, but it's so much bemoan this game for putting older content aside to make new stuff.

Remember when rumors of this existence was barely there.

Tonight I beat Hierophant and Lovers (the former I COMPLETELY forgot was a part of the operation with the latter; I was only expecting Lovers), went to the beach, and got Aigis.

Made a LOT of progress tonight. Currently at 5/5/3 Charm/Academics/Courage. Charm I need for Yukari. Academics I've been raising to completely DOMINATE the exams (though I got to 5 literally THE NIGHT BEFORE the July exam >.>). Courage is kind of on the backburner, as you can likely tell, though I MUST be close to 4 at this point...

I've accepted that I'm almost certainly not getting all the Social Links this playthrough, so I've instead focused on maxing out social stats and finishing the SLs I started early in the game. Completed Chariot, Magician, Hierophant, and Emperor so far, and Hermit and Strength aren't far behind. Though I literally haven't started any others besides the story required ones like Fool and Death...

Getting social stats up has been getting harder though, now that I have ally hangouts available at night to get bonus perks (Yukari's Media literally costs 1 SP now lmao). Before, I was doing either Arcade games at night, working at the cafe (when available), or eating at the restaurants, but once ally hangouts became available, I started going all in on those.

Anyway game has been SUPER fun so far, but I'm starting to feel the burnout that I get whenever I paly any Persona game... Like, I WANT to keep playing, but I also am just not in the mood most of the time. Frankly, I was amazed I made as much progress as I did tonight because of exactly that.

Literally just did this fight prior to checking back into this thread.

Did the combined form resist everything in the original game? I don't remember. Probably not, because as you said, it encourages you to use Theurgy.

I was more concerned with taking them both down separated at the same time. I wasn't sure if they restore each other immediately on one being defeated or if they still have to wait for their turn to naturally come up. Didn't wanna chance it. Fortunately, Fuuka got her Theurgy just in time so I was able to finish them both off with Akihiko's Mazio, despite Justice resisting all magic.

I dont think the combined form had full resistance in the original. I think theurgy is required to separate them in this version. As for the separate forms reviving each other, they revive with less and less HP each time, so its not too bad. I got a little unlucky and got some crits when I didnt want them and killed them too soon a couple of times.

It's July and I'm at 5 Charm, 4 Courage, and 3 Academics. Is that good progress? Also according to the network the average person is at LV 27 while I'm at LV 23. I guess everybody's grinding super hard. I just complete as much as Tartarus as I can until I hit the border, fight every enemy I see on the floor then don't touch Tartarus again for the rest of the month lol. Tho they did introduce the missing persons so I do go back some extra nights. But still that's a lot of grinding people are doing.

I just finished July and Im at 6 Courage, 6 Charm, and 4 Academics. The full moon boss at the end of July is level 31 so 23 is definitely low. Are you fighting rare shadows? Picking the wand during shuffle time? Doing the monad doors? Im not really doing any extra grinding and I was level 32 for the full moon boss

Well since that post I've gotten to 5 Courage. I'm prioritizing Courage now since I need to be "Badass" to start Fuuka's Social Link.

So I'm on the low-end, eh? I'm fighting every shadow I see but I'm usually picking money in the shuffles. Seeing as I have 150,000+ yen, I guess I can stop and start choosing the wands. >_> Other than that, I'm not doing anything different so I don't get how I'm underleveled. Well, it's not like bosses are giving me trouble so maybe it doesn't matter.

But it's summer break so I gotta wait til September to start Fuuka's Social Link. v_v

I really hope I can knock out all Social Links in one playthrough >_>

Really banking on maxing Charm and Academics during summer break so I can start Yukari's and Mitsuru's without delay.

I'm just putting it out there that i hate hate hate the new strength and fortune shadow fight, in the original it was at least skill based as well as luck based, mostly skill

In this one, it's literally down to blind luck, luck in every sense of the word, every time they pull down the spinner, it's completely random you can take 300 damage at any point in time, literally any, and with the bosses being basically hp sponges, you'll get pissed if you have strength down to near zero, and you get hit with a red 300 spinner section with your Mc having 299 health, it's unreal

If strength decides to do its unique move, or do a party wide move before the 300 damage? Well that's just a definite game over, if that happens then the run is done immediately

In slight fairness, that last option he chuckles and makes a reference to the Emperor's New Clothes basically saying that he think the MC is stupid, but for the most part it's the same thing.

There are several other meetings with Takaya, but they don't really lead to much imo. If anything, it makes things weirder because he establishes before the last full moon op that they are officially enemies since neither's stance on the Dark Hour will change, yet he doesn't immediately pull out his gun and shoot the MC like with Shinjiro, solving the "problem" from his perspective. At least the new Strega scenes between Takaya and Jin by themselves are a bit more interesting.

Since there's no real bonuses for progressions of social links does it really matter which ones I prioritize? I feel like I just opened up 7-8 of them really quick.

Is it like P5R where there's a lot of wiggle room to get everything done or is optimization required?

If you want to get every single link Maxed out, not even including the new side stories, there is optimization required. This game has a much tighter schedule than 5R

Just focus on the characters you like. Or you can look up a list of which personas are in which arcana and prioritize the ones you like the most. Every arcana has an ultimate persona that can only be fused when youve maxed the corresponding link

Doing a 100% SL run is next to impossible without a guide

Ii also like how varied P3's cast is. P4's and P5's is all teenagers, but P3 gives you a robot, a dog, and a gradeschooler on your team.
