[@umerpk4188]

Nah, man.. Ryuji all the way!! He's such a bro.

[@seang7578]

A small change that I loved The boost Ryuji’s confidant perks gives you allows you to sprint around enemies and not get caught nearly as easily in the first game. You can outright run straight past them and 90% of the time they won’t realize you’re there. Best boy is still best boy

[@kirbybombs5555]

Parched Boyo i agree

[@romie233]

Remember Ryuji also gives you Insta-Kill at Rank 7. This allows you to sprint (Hold R2) into low level shadows and instantly kill them giving you only a small summary of the battle - also you ALWAYS capture a persona. Just go into mementos, execute a ton of your persona, and then go to town on lower level shadows for easy level ups, easy persona farming, and TONS of money! (Remember to always record your persona so you can just call them back later.) Ryuji is truly the best.

Not sure who knows this, but if you have Ryuji’s insta kill confidant ability unlocked, you can sprint directly into any really weak enemy (without ambushing) and kill them instantly 100% of the time guaranteed. A way to know if they can be killed is to use third eye, if they’re glowing green instead of blue, it’ll work. Works from every direction and even when they’ve detected you and are chasing, as long as they’re glowing green in third eye.

Big non-spoiler tip: Make a Persona and max out its LUCK stats asap with confuse and confuse boost.

Boost stats with either imprisonment training or with the Gallows (obtained after securing the treasure route to Futaba's Palace)

[@lancelee338]

I’m about halfway done with the DLC and I can confidently say Akechi is my favorite character in the game. I didn’t know how ranking up confidants worked for a long time so I never got his maxed out which is a damn shame. After I beat the game I plan to take a break and go back with a guide to 100% it. Man I love Akechi

So basically, it’s best to get Takemi to Rank 5 right away, then work on Chihaya if you wanted to have a good Playthrough?

i'm wondering how's kawakami now? since she was the top priority to rank up in the original

[@BigMastah79]

@@michelangelo6483 probably still very good because she still saves you a TON of time and stuff, but I think it comes down to personal preference and a general guideline.

Well, rip me with the DLC personas. I got so excited to see the entire original P5 persona/costume DLC collection was FREE that I downloaded it before Royal even got delivered. Not a huge deal, but still a bit of a bummer.

[@spyroclone152]

Considering you can get the VIP Treatment perk from the Twins at rank 5, you can easily get any persona you want by the 4th to 5th palace if you have enough money. Money is easier to get because you just max Jose in mementos and get Chihaya's money reading with Ryuji's Insta-Kill and boom 1 million yen in less than 10 minutes. So I can buy any persona I need at this point.

[@adaalonso]

@@spyroclone152 except some personas who need to max the confidant. In my first Gameplay I wanted to play normal, without powerful Personas. Also I remember that I hadn't gone to Mementos to farm money, so I think that the max amount of money that I reached was 800.000 yen. Now in my +new game I ve farmed a lot, and I have 7 million of yen. A lot because I want to have glod builds with Personas like Satanael, Yoshitaune, Arsène, Maria... So I will need a lot of fusions.

Appreciate all the P5R tips you've been putting out lately, they'll definitely come in handy, especially the darts, billiards and jazz club. I have a question about the DLCs, more specifically the costumes. I'm interested in getting the PQ2 costume bundle but I'd only want to do so if it included the costume for every party member including Kasumi, but Kasumi has her own standalone bundle for all of her costumes which include some sets that the rest of the party gets from the free legacy DLC package.

A big tip that helps me: when you come back from mementos, make lots of coffee to grind through that palace in one day! Rank up sojiro’s confidant to make 2 100sp coffees in one time slot. I really recommend!

[@RozalinGaming]

I personally only feel making coffee is worth it if you are having Kawakami make it for you, otherwise your better off spending your time elsewhere; especially since the game gives you so many more options for restoring SP, and getting Takemi to rank 5, which is possible before 2nd Palace, lets you get SP Adhesive 3, which makes SP no longer an issue for the rest of the game.

Yhea, at night you could work in a restaurant job, meeting in the cinema with confidants, or with Mishima in Shibuya, studiyng in a special restaurant, or working in LeBlanc, or try to do the Big Burger defiance cheaper that at the day. Because at night you have special offers in some places. Also people change at night, theres other atmosphere, and dialogues also change. And there is a confidant special that it's only at night.

I can’t be the only one who SUFFERED on the Okumura boss fight... omg I was in that battle for 4 hours yesterday

[@RozalinGaming]

Everyone is saying it was hard but I walked in and breezed through it. Not sure what people are struggling with.

[@megankwisdom]

Yeah it was a little rough for me as well, i couldn't kill the 2nd to last enemy spawns all at the same time. I ended up having someone remove rakukaja with an item and then had someone do matarukaja and then had someone do marukunda and then doing baton passes and i was able to get it. He kept doing sacrificial order on the first turn so i just had to keep doing it till he didn't and then had enough turns to get the damage in.

[@mr.styles5559]

For going to mementos, after the first visit how long do you wait to do the second visit? Do quests start piling up early or do I need to do a couple visits first?

[@RozalinGaming]

I almost always wait until I have 4-5 requests unless there I have a few related to confidants. Ends up being like every 1.5 to 2 months?

[@PerfectlyTeddy]

@@RozalinGaming doesn't mishima only rank up if you do the requests though? mishima's confidant is kinda important to rank up since he gives exp share abilities so by that case you'd have to wait a while to get all of his ranks right?

[@NiaTheMilkTank]

@@PerfectlyTeddy ya Mishimas rank starts after certain mementos requests, I usually do my second trip to mementos between palace 2/3

[@RozalinGaming]

@@PerfectlyTeddy You line up other requests obtained in game besides the ones specifically for Mishima's confidant with the ones required for it.

@@RozalinGaming How long is that new semester and how much of it is free time? I know the ability to do stuff at Leblanc helps with some of the crunch, but there are still 3 new confidants that are locked off if you don't finish them in time.

I’m going to need a GameFAQ guide just to get all confidant and social stats

[@RozalinGaming]

You don't need one; P5 and P5R are incredibly lenient for social stats and confidant ranks.

[@Ms666slayer]

Ma right now it's easier to do all of them based on the fact that you can boost social stats really fast in Leblanc, Proficiency, Kindness an Knowledge can be done there so I have them on Rank 4 and I'm only starting Futaba's Palace, Charm and Guts are a little bit harder but they are Rank 3 and Charm it's close to get to Rank 4, and because most confidantes can be done until end of January getting all of them full it's in one run it's relatively easy, just keep in mind that Takutoand Akechi get blocked on 11/17, Yoshida on 11/14 and Kasumk on12/22 (but Kasumi it's an special confidant and only goes to Rank 5 and the next ranks unlucks when the the third semester gets started)

Even on Merciless you can fuse most, if not all, of the compendium with just Arsene and Pixie. Even if you don't want to go that route, those two should be more than enough to fuse what you need until you can more reliably recruit them later without accidentally killing Persona.

You can try and use status ailments on the Persona you are looking to recruit and then kill off any others in battle and try to get it to come to you for negotiations; alternatively, you can do chip damage with guns (assuming the Persona isn't weak to them) while aiming for a critical hit to down them for negotiations that way.

If Your A beginner and completely new to this type of game. You Get All Of Persona 5s DLC and some free Personas. I Suggest take 1 very high level 1. It Might Help You out when you need it. However low level this will take more HP and SP but if your just starting out and struggling it might help you. And for those wondering about having these higher personas. Later in The Game you get an ability to Itemize them and they will always appear in your registration to buy later.

[@meikisaragi1445]

I just finished the game in switch. I won't be talking about the story. So, what I did is, I grinded Death until I went to level 90(before going to shido castle) just like what I did with Persona 3. And it was a huge mistake. Everything dies pretty fast even the bosses. I just use the concentrare heat raise and def up. then attack with Myriad Truths(I shouldnt have fuse this dude or I shouldnt have activated the DLC to unlock him in the first place) I kinda did a little bit of nuzlocke to not ever summon from the compendium DLC and just fuse them once I have the specific personas. And so I fused Izanagi o kami picaro which is a mistake lmao I became GOD even with Merceless difficulty. The whole game is still 10/10 though. Just wanna share my experience with the gameplay. it was a great experience and skipping all spoilers and the anime is 100% worth it. I dont have a ps4 so I waited for this moment like 4-6 years which is worth it imo.

[@RozalinGaming]

Because of the extra length of Royal, there is literally no reason to grind for experience; levels in general don't have much impact on character power to begin with in Persona titles.

[@genzoow7192]

I got the dlc persona bundle without knowing the risk of it, is there any way to revert this change?

[@Some__Guy]

I don't think so. But honestly, unless you're one of the people who have to min-max everything in their first playthrough, I don't think it'll matter too much. It might impact how you fuse Personas for the twins though. The only way you can change it now is to uninstall the game, which uninstalls the DLC, and then reinstall the game without manually redownloading the DLC, and start a new save file.

The dungeon crawling part represents a lot of the fun of the game to me so it's pretty hard to not go a lot to mementos or palaces. People complained about how long Palaces were in the original but I thought they didn't last long at all. I also personally feel like planning and trying to go for all confidants takes away from what makes the game so alive IMO. I kinda start looking at the characters as numbers and stat boosts instead of people and the sim part becomes less impactful. The video is great though... Definitely liked the tips on leveling technical and baton pass.

@@osamaaltwaijri598 Yea, I deliberately leave Palaces sometimes just to go back to it later. I guess for those that play the game ONLY for the life sim aspect it makes sense. But I like the dungeon crawling and finishing palaces in one go and piling up Mementos quests to do all at once would make the game a bit unbalanced with a much bigger bias towards the life sim aspect for my taste.
