So, is it worth getting four SP Adhesives for the active party members?
Trying to decide between that and upgrading gear at the moment.

Same. For a game rated for older teens & adults, it gets insanely juvenile...

I would recommend it, you have plenty of money later on.
Finally beat palace 2's boss on Hard...
Where's this Temperance link people keep talking about? Can I do that yet?
Admittedly a kind of bullshit boss. I struggled with him a lot before leveling Ryuji to get rampage. After I realized how well that was working out I went and got a Shiisha with rampage and started playing more aggressively... Couple tries later and he was done.

It is but I'd say just 1 for the MC and/or healer is pretty strong. You can use the MC to knock things down with cheaper spells or load up on physical damage stuff and use your healer to keep people afloat.

Losing over an hour of time due to not being able to save anywhere...priceless.
I love this game, but that shit pisses me off.
The game hasn't been that difficult, but if you're not careful you can get caught off guard and get the MC killed.

you'll be able start the link after you finish the 2nd boss
Before you make a purchase, get the Death Confidant to rank 7, which cuts her prices by 50%.

When you have the wrong Persona active and didn't pay attention so you get hit with back to back criticals and die. Thus, an hour of progress is lost. They really shouldn't have made it where if the MC dies, it's an automatic game over. I have a person who can revive for goodness sake.
After the 2nd palace,
an event should trigger automatically with Ryuji and Mishima. After that event, meet the character you encountered in front teacher's area/lounge/can'tremembername for access to this social link.
Pleasantly surprised with Futaba so far, I thought she'd be annoying for some reason, but she's surprisingly mature and receptive, not to mention funny as hell.
Haru is fine, I dig the whole super hero-wannabe thing, but her english voice is the first that actually annoys me.
I find it pretty remarkable that I was against too many anime cutscenes due to how good the game looks as is, but they found a whole different reason for me to despise them lmao. I'm actually glad Hashino seems to be too busy for P6, bring someone actually mature for once.

Just recently started the game on PS4. I tried finding the physical copy everywhere here in London but it's sold out at all retailers, including GAME and Amazon. I even went to Game and they said they had received several copies to sell as USED but when I went to the till they were all sold out as well. Insane. Bought it online.
I only played P4G and I'm enjoying P5 just as much. I LOVE the art design, just wish they allowed you to do things a bit quicker, although I know how tough time management gets in the future.
Really good game so far.

You should max Temperance because Becky
Uhhhhhh...
I went studying instead of doing the maid stuff because I really wasn't interested in pervy anime comedy. Did I just lock myself out of it?
I think P3 had some really good & memorable ones, but the writing quality was generally much lower, and they have this "out of touch with reality" feel.
You had stuff like Kenji's social link, the various female slinks playing out like mini dating sims (yes, all of them play out that way and there isn't meaningful character development for most of them), dated writing and an incredibly cynical "say what they want to hear in order to get points" approach.
P4 social links are generally better across the board. Social linking with male party members is a thing, female party member slinks aren't mini-dating sims, you aren't always rewarded for overt flattery, and the slink conclusions are amazing.
I think P5 confidants are around P4's level. They're more fantastical/wishfufillmentey (which isn't inherently a bad thing), though I don't think they're as emotionally resonant as P4 were for me.
We all wanted a Becky in high school.
hahaha, that new OT title. God dammit.
Finished off Dungeon #2 yesterday and got to use the big block of free time to make some nice progress on social stats and s.links. Feels good, man. Got the doctor all the way up to 7 and picked up one of the fabled SP items. I'm tempted to get 3 more right away but that would break the bank. Or maybe the regen ones would be good for the more physical-oriented guys?
Met the Sun confidant finally (felt like I had him on the backburner for ages), and met
which I had somehow avoided learning about before hand. Just lol. Also encountered
I wish she had more lines during that but it was still pretty funny.
good game is good

Makoto not-so-subtly tailing me around town.
I hope she's the next party member. :x

I actually suspect Atlus chose that date specifically because nothing important happens then. There was some concern when Atlus made the "no streams please" announcement that they'd inadvertently spoiled that important shit happens on that day; it could be Atlus was smarter than we gave them credit for on that very specific point. All the major revelations happen later than 7/7 so it still serves as a convenient breakpoint.
issa real shin megami tensei game
Oh, damn. Try talking to Mishima in the evening and see if he brings up some
maid operation
Personally, I hate the idea of this confidant as well, but the bonuses from leveling it up are too good.

Lol didn't know you could actually do that huh.... I'd figure there's a later opportunity.

Just finished the 6th palace 11/24 spoilers :
Edit :
How much time left do I have for social links ? Do I have any ? Also how did the MC get a clone in the Metaverse ?
Edit :
You can spoil me on how many days I have left
I'd add Sun too. Without it, I was struggling with money, but now that I have it nearly maxed out (rank 9) I no longer have to worry about it.

Ryuji's turned into a complete ass in September.
He's Yosuke tier now.
He's Yosuke tier now.
September as a whole is probably the worst part of the game.
That's unfortunate. I'm at 8/30 now so will be starting it soon.
I just saw a stream where the dude had everyone in normal clothes except the women, who were ofcourse in bikini. Immediately turned that stream off...uuugh.
I have had this happen twice over 118 hours, but both times what took like 1-1.5 hours the first time around took me like 15-20 mins the 2nd time around. After the 2nd time, I learned my lesson and didn't mind backtracking to save.
Where exactly did this happen to you?

Yeah, P3's social links frustrated me because you were basically forced to support bad behavior.
P5 is so much better about this. I almost never feel like I'm being forced to take a position I don't agree with just so I can move things along.
Don't worry about it. I'm pretty sure I chose to go rank up an s link the first time they invited me and they did it again later. I'm pretty sure it's impossible to lock yourself out of a confidant.

At the sixth palace and I love it so far, but fuck brainwash.
You have like 27 days left (some days are obviously out of your control, but once the next dungeon phase starts you will have control yet again. Still you have plenty of time to rank shit up.
As for how did Joker get a clone, it's because it was Sae's palace. Sae believed Joker to be in that room and so he was in that room because that's what her cognition imagined. Akechi entered the metaverse when Sae showed him the phone. And Sae left her palace quickly afterwards which is why the effects of palace owner being in her own palace wasn't observed.

I like how flattery almost never works. It only consistently works on the Tower confidant, and that's because he's a kid.
You get items like TV/console by buying them and decor items by hanging out with friends at spots. Meaning you go there with them at times when you aren't about to rank up their confidants, or if you have fully ranked someone up then you just ask them if they want to go somewhere. Basically the hanging out sessions where you rank up are scripted and have a storyline to follow and you don't get gifts for those.
... its a type of status effect.

The old lady and nurse in p4 alone is better than all of p3's. The writing in p3 was so....basic.
