It looks like almost every day of January and Februrary is snowing, meaning Eri also needs to be maxed very very early and no one actually warns about it.

Well, time to go back a couple of weeks!

I wouldn't bother, tbqh. Based on what you said you had left you're just not going to be able to max all S-Links I'm 99% sure and I'm fairly certain it's not something you can remedy by just shuffling around some days like this.

---

It's always Eri who ruins these perfect runs

well maybe not always, Ai ruined my first attempt

---

Better idea: Just skip every day and rush the true ending because a NG+ with a true ending is needed anyway

And of course you keep all your stats.. Making it trivially easy to get everyone maxed in a second game because you don't have to constantly burn time on your stats.

Frankly this is what every guide should be recommending.

---

well not everyone wants to put 150+ hours into getting a perfect run if one is possible on the first playthrough

Try maxing everything in P3 in one go and P4 will feel very generous...!

---

Two things in P4 require you to get to almost the end of a second playthrough anyway

Which basically means I haven't had any reason to care about almost anything I've done on this one and could've saved 20-30 hours.

If I had looked all the way ahead I'd have saved an incredible amount of time, whoops~

---

If you're going for the Platinum yeah

Maxing all S. Links without a guide is difficult on a first run. It's still kinda hard on a second but it's more doable.

---

The issue that you also have to raise your stats.

On a second run you start with max stats.

That right there saves you at least like, 15 days. Maybe more.

Ultimately, I've come to the conclusion I raised my stats too fast to balance it in a single run. I should've been doing nothing but skipping days by for the last 2-3 months.

---

This doesn't sound like a fun way to play this game at all

---

well if you're aiming for the platinum just be careful about that one book from the weekend meetup with the strength link

---

Better than wasting more time doing things that are ultimately irrelevant~

I'll blow through January/February in 40 minutes, take out the true ending boss (who happens to provide rain for me to go back and kill the remaining rainy shadows) and get this restarted ASAP.

I picked up that achievement while burning January away.

Though I'll get all the books again next time.

Just another reason to be glad I'm not a completionist

BABY FOXES

Kawaaiiiiiiii

what helped me more than anything when doing a max s.link in a single playthrough (non new game plus) is the following:

getting to rank 4 in knowledge super early (before the first exam)
maxing expression asap
never doing a s.link that's not going to level up (i.e. saving it until it gets a "natural" boost through test scores/hanging out with them at night/reading fortunes).
the exception to the above might be eri, who is a pain as we all know
save scumming for the dialogue responses (naturally)

somehow I did it without a guide on my third playthrough and had nearly a week to spare

I've always thought that maxing all the slinks without having to raise stats would be too easy, so I've never really tried
