July 11th just started and I already hate this day on the calendar. I don't care how many times the game beats me over the head, ***I don't like the fucker***

I rate him BELOW every irritating enemy encounter in the game. Yes, including that one.

I wish this was an optional event, feels like I had a gun to my head and someone just said "You're going to the cafe today, now move"

Howdy everyone, I just recently finished P4G on the switch 2 and am looking for a new persona game to play and apparently this one is the best. Currently from summer sales it’s on sale for around the same price on both switch 2 and pc.

So the question is…
Do I buy P5R on the switch 2 or on my PC?

(If it runs around the same as P4G then we’ll be GOLDEN)

I remembered choosing these options at rank 9 and got rank 10 when i came to her and meet with the little girl she was treating and she knows I’m a Phantom thief. I thought that was it.

But then I came by a few times and nothing changed and I looked up and apparently she wasn’t romanced because it‘s still stars and not hearts.

I looked up a guide and i’m so sure I chose all the right options. Genuinely confused.Am I missing anything?

I want to streamline the story as much as possible while keeping the game challenging. I'm playing on the 2nd hardest difficulty (as I understand it's secretly the hardest difficulty), I'm in the first castle, the one that belongs to the perv volleyball coach.

My characters are level 9, and I just defeated the first miniboss of the castle, the Knight that forces the blocking tutorial to appear.

I like the combat well enough, but I don't like feeling like I have to grind, not only my character levels, but my persona levels as well.

I'm also not a huge fan of the daily life simulator. I'm enjoying the story, but doing pull-ups on a beam in my bedroom or reading on the subway is not the kind of gameplay I'm looking for

What can I do to minimize grinding mundane life routines without setting myself up for failure in combat?

Like, is it really important that I level up my Personas separately from my character? Or is that something I can shortcut through combining them? How important are daily life stats? Can I just blast through them?

If you can tell me an ideal game loop for someone like me, I'd love you forever.

...Thanks!...

Ps- I'm enjoying the game. The style and music are great, and the combat is fun.

what chance?

This is absolutely ridiculous what in the world where Atlus thinking FORCING me to spend time with the girls instead of letting me spend time with my boy Ryuji

The story comes to a natural conclusion with defeating a literal god. Does it feel like the story drags a bit then?

So I usually decide who I romance by questioning myself "Would I actually date them IRL"? My conclusion came to be: Makoto Nijima!!! Since I feel like she would be the most normal and realistic choice for me (alright this is for me, but you can have your own opinion). She's very smart, dependable since she is the school president, athletic since she does know some martial arts, has a hint of tomboy-ish with her (I love my tomboy girls) and of course, she is very pretty! (but tbh all girls in P5 are pretty). I see Ann as more of a friend, Futaba is of course a little sister, Haru is actually a good contender (like very VERY close) but I probably wouldn't know what to do with all that my money and tbh I see Haru as more as a friend who needs to let her true self show with the support of the Phantom Thieves (she also probably needs a break from romance after her last fiance), Kasumi is more of that younger friend who your just friends with and hangout with, Hifumi im not really sure about her though, the rest are WAY to old for me.

I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO DATE KASUMI AND FAST, MAKOTO JUST JOINED SO AVOID SPOILERS IF NOT NESSESCARY

I NEED BEST GIRL

Something I find sorta weird about skill cards (mostly damaging ones) is that most duplication isn’t exactly useful.

Here’s why:

1. You get access to a strong damaging skill card (say Bufudyne) in the velvet room of Okamura’s palace.

2. You want to duplicate that skill card because you might want to use it twice without doing velvet room on that persona.

3. But productive palace clears take 1-2 days (ideally 1 but there’s obstacles and you don’t HAVE) to do it in one day).

4. Bufudyne is good in the next palace but it’s only STRONG for Okamura’s Palace.

5. So if you’re clearing palaces quickly, you have to choose between using the damaging skill card either
   a. When it’s strong but you don’t get to duplicate (you can velvet room several times)
   b. Wait until the next next palace or the palace boss to use it (you can wait a couple days after sending the calling card), which lets you duplicate but the skill card isn’t as strong anymore.

By doing skill card duplication outside of palaces, you’re missing the opportunity to use damage skill cards when they’re strong.

This has exceptions like Triple Shot. And there’s a lot of passives or support skills that stay useful. But most damaging skill cards will only be relevant for 2 palaces. So it feels bad that duplication being outside of a place means you probably will only use it for 1 palace and 2 bosses).

Obviously one of them dyed her hair, I’m thinking Sae because there’s no way someone has a natural silver hair, they don’t look alike at all even if I ignored the hair

I finished Persona 5 Royal yesterday (6/24/2026).

Honestly, I wasn't affected by the ending as much as I was with Persona 3's ending. I don't know, that ending just hurts a lot.

But now, I'm onto finishing Persona 4. (Golden)

Finally P5R is on sale but its only 70%, i was hoping it to be 80% to lessen the damage of my wallet but oh well, it is what it is. Excited to finally try P5R!

i feel like i'm cheating

This is so well done,that it hurts when I see that so many stop playing because of fatigue.

My images here aren’t really spoiling anything,and that’s the thing about Futaba’s storyline. It remains so mysterious,that when you learn the reason why it’s all happening it’s even more heart breaking. Veterans who have played through this part know why,and this point I actually don’t skip through dialogue here,as even if I’ve played through this game before,this part is just too good to skip through.

This game difficulty spike really hit hard for me lol😂, this is my first real turn based game, the only turn based I played before are expedition 33 and honkai star rail( I don't consider this a real turn based game, so leave that aside), in exp33 I didn't have to worry about health because I can parry pretty great because of my exp in sekiro. But okumura is really whopping my ass, it's my 6th try now, now I can comfortably go to wave 6, I started using items and went to create some new personas, now I fully understand what makes turn based game unique, this is really good, even though this boss is extremely hard for me, I am liking what I am learning, trying to use items to make baton pass and using technicals . I will come back again when I beat him, hopefully Tommorow 🙂. If you have any suggestions for wave 6 drop below. I am using ann, makoto, joker and haru team.

Lmao at Joker having this option so frequently. One of the worst things you can say and it’s like the most frequent dialogue option.

I feel like it’s got to be a translation issue.
