Holy crap, guys. Get Temperance to level 10 ASAP. Once you do, you can go out at night even after exploring a palace/mementos.

Whoa, what? For real?

Yeah. You can call Kawakami to give you a special massage which relieves exhaustion.

There's only like 3 nonparty confidants worth raising tbh

I've been doing some quests and some of the character comments are weird like this.

Ryuji: i heard he threatening this old couple.

I mean yes Ryuji you did hear that. Specifically you heard it from us.

Lolwat? Temperance, Fortune, Death, Moon, Star, Sun and Strength are all definitely worth raising of the top of my head that's seven already.

Most of those have only one useful ability for endgame.

You can get by doing nothing with moon as you only need the bench exp.

Star is literally study in the form of a confidant

Temp, Strength, and Tower are the only real necessities, maybe Hanged Man

The fortune teller confidant is useless as fuck, it's sad. More 100k for me though

Are you for real? It lets you change characters in battle.

You can get by doing nothing with moon as you only need the bench exp.

And it gives you more bench experience as it ranks up until your characters get the same experience whether they are in the battle or not.

Most of those have only one useful ability for endgame.

So?

It let's you level up your social skills and confidants faster how is that useless?

Why would I want to change characters midbattle? I'd just switch Personas.

Because if one of your characters are weak to an element your enemy uses they risk giving your enemies free turns. It's also better to have as many characters who can hit your enemies weaknesses as possible.

Not really with Baton Pass and technicals

The more characters who can hit your enemies weaknesses the more baton passes you get.

Is this his first SMT game or something?

8 hours in just hit may 1st. How many fucking points does it take to level up kindness and knowledge and all that shit
---

Hm, Fortune hasn't been paying off at all. Well, I'm still just rank 7, maybe it gets better.

Someone posted a chart earlier and Knowledge took like 100 points in total to max out. The other stats required less.

question for you guys, should i be buying weapons/armor/etc for my team or should i just save my money for other shit and use stuff i find in dungeons? just because im close to finishing the second palace and i havent really found a lot of gear in there, i think just a whip and a knife, not enough to equip a whole team. but i dont want to waste my money

I think you'll be fine only buying melee weapons and armor every other dungeon. Ranged weapons are almost useless, and seem to only be good for hitting weaknesses. Like, I haven't bought an accessory (other than the sp adhesives) since I started playing, and I just finished the 5th palace stuff.

I sold the 50k credit item you get from the free dlc pack, since it's like a megalixer and i'll never use it anyway since you have to save it for the perfect moment and there never is one and that was enough to carry me through to the point of credits being trivial.

I'd at least by armor to help you take more hits, check the vending machines for SP so you can keep hitting the weaknesses (if multiple vendings are next to each other, they can have different inventory if you didn't notice before). I don't use physical attacks too often and with a few sp items i was able to do the palace 3 dungeon in one go (though with a time costly death i QQ'd about before...)

I liked what they did with the 5th palace.

Would be good if it wasn't temporary and costs yen after she already requires 100k up front. The only ability she gives you that's of any use is the confidant you can choose to increase your bond with using her. The rest is temporary crap and shit you can easily get on Wiki.

Fuck that confidant.

"I'm working today, you should request me"

"oh it's you, I already told you and you still want to request me?"

Becky why you so bipolar
---

Finally maxed a confidant. I regret not getting with the doctor a little.
---

doctor too moe
---

Doctor is too tier waifu. I'm strongly considering getting with her

The more I play, the more it feels like Mishima should have been part of the team. I just saw the part where you go to Mementos and talk to his shadow. That was kinda nuts. I want him to join the Phantom Thieves but I guess it would defeat the purpose of him riding off their popularity and being jealous. Idk.

The stat growth boost may be temporary but the stats you gain using it are permanent. Use it everytime you can afford to and you'll save quite a few days, which I think is more important than the money use it on.

Can't help but kind of hate this game. I have things to do in the morning. Stop making me play you dammit!
---

Finally maxed the Priestess Arcana confidant. She wanted to study things she hasn't experienced yet and I was okay with that. Heh
---

Tfw you open your phone to see 5 different people asking if you can gang out with them
---

Oh boy. High Pixie is in the Fool arcana now. Finally, a Fool arcana worth getting outside of the first and last ones.
---

Maxed out The Lovers and The Sun. Almost got Death, The Devil, and Temperance done too.

Dang, Palace 5 is long.
---

Castle 2 is comparatively easy. Shiisa mops up quite nicely.

Tell me about it. Felt like I spent hours in that place. Cool design, though.

Haha. Makoto is following me around Central Street in Shibuya, trying to spy on me and failing. That's adorable.
