[@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.

[@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.

Persona are categorized by their arcana -- when looking through the compendium, it's one of the ways you can sort them -- and each confidant is associated with a specific arcana. For example, Ann is the confidant for the Lovers arcana and Pixie is a Lovers arcana Persona. When interacting with Ann in any capacity that will earn you affection, you will earn more with her by having Pixie in your inventory due to it being of the same arcana.

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)

You can't collect a lot of personas on merciless either, because lots of stuff dies with a weaknesses hit

[@RozalinGaming]

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.

Not sure if you still check these comments, but I'm curious what tips people would recommend for a playthrough where you started with all the DLC personas already. I can't remove them and I don't want to restart, so what're my best options/tips?

I would just say don't worry about it and only focus on completing the compendium once you are in the 3rd semester.

Thanks for always providing great tips. I already installed all of the DLC Persona without realizing or considering how it would impact fusion recipes. Is there nothing I can do about it at this point?

i took a look through the non hidden ones and theres a few activity related ones, like batting cages, lottery ect that you could miss if you never did them or didnt complete them, however new game plus is always an option. as for story related ones i havnt checked yet because i dont want to be spoiled but i assume theres a couple super bosses. however i doubt theres any trophy you cant get in a ng+ run or two

[@self_harem2125]

I played this game blind, and know nothing about persona. I am so in love with all the characters, and the style of the game. I am currently at Okamura, and hit a wall on the boss. Now I've caved and decided to look something up, I realized you can use the gallows multiple times in a day if you get the fusion alarm to proc, thanks to your fusion alarm video. I really appreciate the spoiler free video whether intentional or not. I didn't know about the post cards, I'm working on Chihaya and Akechi right now so that's really helpful! I'm so close to the deadline (10/5) thanks for the help! I somehow got an SP Regen into my Orpheus Picaro, so I'm doing trips with two squads until they run out of SP, to farm. Hopefully this leveling gives me the edge!!!

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.

What did you mean by fusion combinations from 15 down to 2 that you mention at 7:30 - 8:15 ?

[@RozalinGaming]

Some Persona can be fused using 15 different combinations w/o DLC installed; however, once you install the DLC, the DLC Persona can also be fused and some of the combinations of Persona that may have previous fused one Persona now fuse DLC Persona instead, removing a possible combination of Persona that could have made you something else. As an example, say Persona A and Persona B could be fused to make Persona C. But then you installed the DLC, and now that same combination fuses DLC Persona D instead of Persona C.

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.

[@HarakiriRock]

I've had everyone equipped with Camera Strap through my entire current playthrough and almost forgot SP was even a thing.

Worth noting as well that while Yoshida's social link is extremely restrictive, it doesn't ever require specific answers or a matching Persona; it will rank up every single time you visit him on those dates without fail, letting you keep your Persona deck open for other arcanas
