シン・[s]ゴジラ[/s]Persona 5 (not) superplay thread

Real quick boring mechanic question sorry;

What is equipment that can transmute? I can’t figure it out and I dun wanna fight a wiki

mostly stuff that you get from mementos and the dark web, it tends to have surprisingly low stats, “black” name and description alluding to transmutations

I mean, what is it for? I got a bunch of it

Ah, at certain point, you can execute Personas to transmute those items into unique equipment (better than standard shop stuff)

I think the way to do it was Electric Chair, the summer vacation unlock

Cool, glad I held on to it.

I don’t know if I care enough to advance the S-Link with the Prison Guard girls to start fusing all these damn Personas

Was I the only one who didn’t look up a guide and had kind of fun doing this in P4 with the Margaret S-link? Unless they’ve changed it the systems surrounding fusion are relatively simple as long as you have that chart they include in the manual around the details how the arcanas interact.

I enjoyed the fusion challenges before. Enjoying these ones so far.

Gotta say, though, that seeing Confidant ranking for both Igor and the wardens made me sad that that was one more arcana I wouldn’t be able to enjoy as an S-Link with a school buddy.

i really enjoyed doing margaret’s requests without a guide in persona 4, but i ended up getting so good at fusing personas that it made the challenge in these games entirely trivial. i didn’t have much trouble doing the ones in this game, especially with the electric chair, but they were still pretty fun.

i do miss turning to this series as the one jrpg with some sort of challenge.

Don’t hesitate picking hard mode if you want a fair challenge

I cleared the fourth palace.
I realize I’m in for the dungeons / battles / time management / mood / activities but the actual text bores me. Some conversations just seem to go on and on and I sometimes just skip them? I feel like it all could be told as effectively with less than half the words. The main storyline also stops being compelling and original pretty fast and falls back on tired Persona / Anime tropes.

Confidants are better but there are a lot I just see as just stepping stones I need to Efficiently Rank Up to become godlike. Good that the game made me feel as sociopathic as its main character I guess.

Music not changing much throughout seasons and day to day life is disappointing. Really adds a lot to the mood and staves off repetition.

Oh, yes Persona 5 should do the same.

Definitely having more fun hanging out with the adults instead of my fellow highschoolers

6/13 spoilers: I knew it all along thet eventually Ryuji and his big mouth would get everyone fucked. Goddamnit.

yeah, this was the first persona i managed to finish
and probably the first videogame i’ve played where ui design was the most compelling aspect

i’d be interested in the ng+ exclusive boss but… levels don’t carry over

Guess what song the OP’s music queues line up with.

Do Mementos ever stop being hilariously easy? Feels like whenever I go in there, whatever’s at the deepest level I can access is half the level my characters are…

I think the last enemy I’ve encountered on the last floor of Mementos was a monster I’ve stopped seeing 15 hours earlier, so

At least the banter is good

nope

i started ng+ to fight the optional superboss but with levels not carrying over i’m not sure i can be bothered going through the entire game again even with fast forward and endgame personas
but i also miss gorging myself on this game most evenings
maybe i should try and play the previous games again
or strange journey

(Help how do I embed twitter links)

it might be hardcoded to only work with www.twitter rather than mobile site, but it should be automatic after pasting the link + a linebreak
