Don't feel too bad, I just finished the game for the first time with 140+ hours clocked.
...Game was too short.

To be honest, I can't believe I'm near the end. I want to keep playing lol I gues this will be the first time in my life I actually play a NG+ in a RPG.

Finally, after 129:27hrs of playtime, I'm a legendary phantom thief...
What a rollercoaster ride, my collector's edition has been redeemed.
This is my first Persona plat ever, never felt the same need to plat with P4G, guess my habit of achieving platinums for the games I have bought CE versions of, motivates me to redeem them.

I feel the same. Never tried the NG+ on P3 and 4 before outside of just checking some things out, but I might seriously do a full playthrough of P5 again once I've had time to let it settle.

Going into Mementos with 13 missions lined up. Dang, I'll end up in there for hours. 3.8 million in the bank and 82% persona completion.
...Maybe I'll grind some more money, just in case.

I rarely do NG+ or 2nd playthroughs. There are a lot of games on my backlog, and my play time is limited. But this game, really deserves it.

I'd say around 3 hours perhaps? There's a bunch of mini bosses and puzzles.
Also if you're allergic to simple mazes like 99% of the player base, you probably won't stand playing through it for more than an hour lol.

Have really limited play time for stuff and was really hoping I was pretty close. Oh well, heeeeeere we gooooo.

Took me almost exactly 1 hour, but I've finally pulled out all the stops (and consumables) to defeat the secret boss!
Only one last trophy left! That goddamn Passionate Listener trophy! I'm going to be so piss if I can't get it on the second playthrough >_<

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
So on Palace 7...
It's the usual "beat Palace and you have plenty of free-time" deal, right? So it won't skip to the end if I beat the Palace this time around on Day 1?
Morgana made it seem like I should S-Link before doing it...

Yes, you can do it the first day and still get the rest of the remaining time. Morgana is just warning you because the deadline for this Palace is basically your last chance to do Confidants.

Okay, just checking---gonna max out Anne's today and then head on in.
What about Mementos? I know the final dungeon is apparently the deepest part, but while doing that one can I finish exploring the rest of it?
(Post dungeon 7 spoiler)
If you haven't already made it to the "end" of Mementos before you have to do the Mementos Depths, you will be forced to do the rest of it before you can get there.

Just wanted to follow up and let you guys know I just finished it last night
Overall, I really enjoyed it. I did feel that it dragged a bit, especially in some dungeons but overall I had a great time with it. Surprisingly I enjoyed the latter part of the game the most, some of the music was amazing! 107 hours to beat it.

Can anyone shed some light on this?
So I'm currently in the middle of August and decided to jump into mementos, right now I'm the path of
and for some reason everytime I perform a sneak attack with the Mona-Bus the whole combat part is skipped and a Persona gets added to my inventory.
Why is this happening? I kinda feel like I'm getting robbed off with XP and money.

Is that it? I have that ability, but the description said that there was a "chance" for that to happen. Is the whole rest of the game going to be like this? Or is it because my level is too high for these enemies?
I'm honestly kinda perplexed.

Yep. I threw a fit when I first went into Mementos after unlocking that ability, but it's honestly not so bad because it only triggers on weak enemies.
Yeah it has a much higher chance of activating if you're overleveled.

Thank you for the responses, I can see the logic behind it but it still seems like a strange design choice to me. :/

I believe the social stats are a modifier, while the confidant boosts are a flat value.
It is a bit annoying that you can't turn it off but as long as you don't ambush the enemy you'll go in to battle instead of insta-killing. It never felt random to me. It always triggers when my level is on the high end compared to the demons you're supposed to fight.
The social stat boost is a multiplier. The confidant boost add a fixed amount of points.
This is pretty cool. I think someone posted a project that has their background change on swipe and it uses some screenshots from the game like confidant pictures

Is it this?

This is what I use. You can change it to almost any of the confidants.
That looks amazing.
Anyway, about the game, I'm currently working on the Soujiro S. Link; and I gotta admit, Atlus made a great work with
the change from asshole Soujiro to the caring guy near the end. I though very little of him, but now knowing his story, I kinda like the guy ;_:

It is somewhat random in that it starts triggering once you're a few levels higher and moves to guaranteed.
Its a pretty questionable ability generally though, considering it costs you XP/yen/items, close to disables Hifumi's One Turn Win Gold Boost and doesn't ask you to discard a mask if your stock is full. And that it's generally dangerous to not ambush because enemies seem to have artificially high agility in this. It would be majorly improved if it resolved as a proper win (XP/gold/items + random mask and did the usual ask to discard) or had an off switch.

only up to the part where you find out who
is and
I already have guesses as to what that means, who the bad guy probably is, and how this is going to go down. Is it as obvious as it seems?

Kind of. I'll just say that the game purposely makes some things obvious for a reason.

You want to beat him via the exploit or normally?
Normal. I've no idea what the exploit is
Celestial Mortal

I dunno if the exploit is considered a spoiler or no so I'll tag it.
During the flu season (11/13, 11/14,
12/8, 12/9) on those specific dates the reaper has a chance of being inflicted with despair status which makes him die automatically after 3 turns, he does nothing for those 3 turns as well. For this its better to max out Hifumi and Mishima social links as Hifumi link benefit allows you to escape a battle immediately incase the reaper isn't inflicted with the status and Mishima link benefit allows to earn tremendous XP...
I reached level 99 with MC by exploiting the reaper around 4-5 times earning around 210k XP

For normal, I guess any level above 70 should suffice as your attacks only do double digit damage...
This is seriously upsetting
I can't believe they cut out some many Joker lines. You can tell he was supposed to audibly react to many of things in-game.
*sigh*
EDIT: Awwww come on, he even has a "LET ME EXPLAIN" line.

Uuh what the hell? Like half of them aren't in the game. Are the equivalents present in japanese at least?
This is so disappointing. I was excited to see Mobus in the cast, and what we did get gave Joker some decent amount of personality, but having all these would have been great, ugh.
Finished the game last night (1st playthrough), took me 131 hours.
Loved it and never got bored of it, playing it every evening. I think the party are easily one of my favourites, just wish we could have had an extra dungeon
Went in mostly blind but had max social stats and just over half the confidants maxed in this order:
A little annoyed I couldn't max out
. Also
was rank 9 but I couldn't unlock the rank 10 event in time either Otherwise the others were all around rank 3-5.
I normally don't replay rpg's, especially not with ps3 / ps4 era rpgs but I'll definately be starting a second playthough. I missed quite a few mechanics on my first playthrough that I'll explore more on my 2nd run (barely used skill cards, never touched gun modding
, never tried batting or fishing and some small stuff like that).
Definately owe GAF for getting me hyped over persona. Since I haven't played the past games, seeing so many of you hyped over the initial trailers and announcements kept it on my radar (only recently joined as a member here, but have been reading neogaf for a long time).

Build question, how did you guys set up your Morgana and Haru skills at end game?
Mona I've pretty much settle him for Wind+Healer, just a matter of Samarecarm vs Salvation vs Mediaharan.
But holy shit with Haru... Psy build vs Gun build vs Heat Raiser vs Amrita Shower @_@

Yeah, I didn't really mind the whole silent protagonist angle until I heard that. Would have been awesome to hear this lines in the game.
There's always the spinoffs? (Which is a weird thing to say)
Finally finished the game last night after 90 hours. Didn't quite make it through all the confidants at the end I had the Wardens, Iwai, Haru and Yoshida left at various states of completion.
Really enjoyed the ride and will miss those characters.
Really enjoyed the ride and will miss those characters.
My only complaint is that I didn't need the Mementos Depths section at the end. It was a long slog of combat tossed in at the end when I was really just ready for a final climactic fight and to ride out the story by that point. The final boss fight was very satisfying on its own and would have been better imo if it was just the 4 angels + final boss at the end.
Anyone know if it's possible to max-rank the wardens in a single mementos run at the end of the game, maybe during the Depths of Mementos sequence, by collecting personas, going back to the Velvet Room and fusing them repeatedly? Is there a guide somewhere that I could use to figure out the path for that if possible?
I'm pretty close to finishing the game, probably less than 10 hours left, so I want to try maxing out as many ranks as possible.
