Man, I can really see why they brought back Yukiko's VA for this role. Drunk voice too good, lol.

And heck, she was the only VA who stuck with the series by the time the P4 milking ended, may as well bring her out.

I'm pretty sure I heard Bosch's voice as a random background nobody. You can also hear the voice actresses for Yukari and Aigis/Nanako among them. It makes me think the VA "circle" for Atlus stuff probably isn't too big or maybe these guys just love sticking with the series. I dunno what time you'd pick for the end of 4's milking. Most of them stuck around aside from various instances like whatever sad thing happened to replace Chie with an annoying voice and whatever the hell happened to Teddie's voice actor. Troy Baker became a HUGE deal so he was probably too busy to come back. I think Laura Bailey has gotten more mainstream which is probably why she wasn't back for P4DAN, but who knows.

Specifically, replacing Bailey with Ashley Birch in a game about Rise was the "OK, we're done" moment.

Oh shit, i haven't even found devil or sun yet, and I'm level 26! Don't spoil me there though.
---

Sojirou's early rank ups are nonsense, yeah. Even with a Hierophant in the party, we're talking like 10 or 12 notes between Lv 3 and 4. Dunno if that continues to be a problem, but I can say with certain you it's not a date thing, and you aren't wasting your time. You DEFINATELY want a Hiero in the party, but that goes for every social link.

I am in love with Makoto's AOA portrait.
---

I know the game probably designed her to be this way, but every time Caroline says "INMATE," I want to smack her. And yet for some reason, it's cool when she says it. It's the weirdest thing to loathe and yet like something at the same time.

But this is another Palom/Porom situation, where the dickish twin is totally unbearable.
---

You are a terrible person and you should feel terrible. Caroline's great.
---

I just like Justine better...

*Gets smacked*

GET TO SLEEP, INMATE!
---

But...I can't sleep. *I really can't sleep tonight*

Shut up, inmate.

Yes ma'am...

*Goes back to playing Persona 5*
---

Ugh this game is so hard to put down still, I look at the clock and it's 2am and I realize I'm super tired and want to go to sleep


Then I look back at the game and keep playing

3rd palace completed. Barely made it out of that one in a single shot, certainly ain't easy! Thank God I found that 100SP recovery towards the end, I still managed to use it all. 2nd palace was a cakewalk compared to this, and all the fucking Oni's with no weakness were responsible for 80% of it.

You reaaaally gotta make sure you keep a level 1 spell for each element on your character for a playthrough like this.

Pretty sure I had one at the time but either way it seemed absurd enough for me to question it. I know I've since gotten rid of it. I'm really feeling the early game Persona slot limit, especially with garbage like the treasure demon currently sitting in my slots until I level up enough to fuse something good.

I got the 5th party member. It's ironic how they seem to be completely useless for their own dungeon just because I seem to be locked out of doing the social link until I beat it. I'm not giving up Baton Pass!
---

They do usually make several enemies in the dungeon weak to their element, at least.

No this has been the case in literally every game.

Ah, sorry then! I must have either read some bad info or just confused it in my head like you said.

One thing I've found a little weird is the whole "20XX" thing... given it can't be too far after P4 given the Rise poster ads you can find in Station Square. It's a cool callback though.
---

It's especially weird because there is side npc dialogue in the game that apparently says Rise is 20 so that just straight up means it's 2016

Also, the calendar matches 2016s calendar

Beat the second palace last night. Operation Maidwatch was absolutely hilarious.

Need to find a way to level my Guts. Can't even get Takami to rank 2 yet.

There should be books in the School Library (3F) that help.

Not nearly as ideal but at the diner you can order Coffee and that gives you one point in Guts along with raising your Knowledge by 2.
---

Big bang burger is also helpful. If you don't complete the challenge, you get guts, and if you do you get a few different ones. I don't know what the first challenge requires at a minimum, but 3 in knowledge, guts, and proficiency was enough for me to beat the second challenge.
---

6th party memeber get

Seems awesome who to replace though...
---

I think the link for the gunshot owner require 4 guts. It may require 5, I'm just hoping I guess, because 3 ain't enough.
---

So, because of the guide I'm following I'm now entering Mementos manually for the first time. At level 24, how hard is it gonna be to do all 4 of these current missions at once? Don't really know how the mechanics are gonna work here.
---

Oh god...Operation Maidwatch
---

Man you guys are so much farther than I am. I got the flu this week and have spent more time sleeping than I have spent playing Persona 5. Don't even think I'm halfway through the first palace yet.
---

But having a flu and staying home is perfect timing to play Persona!
---

That's what you might think isn't it...
---

Okay can anyone offer advice for the first palace?

I'm in the last part and keep runnung into the lv16 knights who kill me easily, erasing 30+ minutes since the last save point. I'm level 8 and have been fine until now. Am I underleveled or is there a weakness I'm missing? Dying multiple times causing me to lose hours of progress is no fun.
---

I had trouble with them and I'm only playing on normal. My best advice would be make SURE you are abusing the ambush mechanic, and try to equip a persona with higher endurance.
---

Yea you kinda got just not get fucked luck with what attack they use. They actually aren't too hard if they don't use it.

They're weak to ice. Also, use Ann (who probably goes last of your characters) and MC if necessary to put them to sleep before their turns.

Yes, I had the same question earlier. Use Ann to put them to sleep, they go right after Ann and get their turn skipped, repeat. Died like 12 times before that, then won easily in one go.

Your reward is a miniboss that you just have to punch until it dies.

So it turns out that in the third palace when enemies suddenly aren't weak to things the game is way harder

I got a luck charm somewhere and put that on morgana. Helped a ton
---

The spy that tails you is hilariously unsubtle.
---

Yeah the third palace is way harder than the second

Trying to decide if I can posssibly win this story mission against 3 guys in palace 3 or I need to give up and retreat.

Any tips?
---

The 2nd is way easier than the first, too.
---

Meh never mind. My party combo is just wrong for this. I'm going to have to retreat.

Dang it
---

Wait, you know you can switch out party members at any time, right?
---

Well, except in battle.

... for now.

My continue option is return to battle

VAJARA BLAST

everyone dies

Needs Moar Swift Strike.

I do like the fact that an NPC moves around the screen like that though.
---

Before retreating I fused some personas and now have one immune to physical

I think this main guy only uses phsyical

Been one hit away from having only him alive twice now.
---

hahahaha

The strategy worked.


After 40 turns on fast battle I finically attacked him for 15 enough to kill him
---

Oh shoot

I'm still not close am I
---

Depends on which 3 guys you meant <_<

In front of the giant vault? Yeah, you're maybe a tiny bit over halfway there.
---

So.

I spent two hours going through the second half of a dungeon on a Sunday.

Forgot to buy my stat boosting drink before.

DO I GO BACK TO GET THE STAT BOOSTING DRINK

Unless your doing a max guided playthrough, I doubt it's worth it <_<
