Just got P5R on an impulse buy. Never played Persona before, let alone an Atlus title before. What should I expect? Any tips for a beginner? How strict is the time limit if I'm a scrub and like to grind?

Why do people ask stuff like this instead of playing the game :/

I'm past the point where I can jerk it to anime girls without forming some kind of connection.

Imagine coming onto a video game board to talk about video games. Absurd.

Just play the fucking game
It’s a modern jrpg
It’s balanced and well structured
It teaches you what you need to know

>>737144683
It's the best JRPG of all time.

Do all the dungeon content the first possible day, don't split anything up
Take a persona of the same arcana whenever you hang out with someone to get extra points with them

Lmao calm down dorks. It's installing right now. Don't you have an Uma thread to be bumping?

any tips for posting in a uma thread

>>737144683
Max the politician confidant as soon as you can because he won't be available after a certain date.
Max Kawakami ASAP because she comes with a lot of great perks and she's best girl.

>What should I expect?

You can expect best girl Makoto's fat broken ass to never leave your party.
I'm sure you're familiar with her, at least.

I hate when faggots post disingenuous posts like this. The OP hasnt asked anything that isnt already answered by playing the goddamn game. The game LITERALLY opens with a 1 hour tutorial on how to play the game and spams you with hints and tips throughout the game.

Thanks for the bump friendo. I didn't read what you wrote though.

He's asking what to expect from a 150 hour JRPG that he's going to invest time in, it's a fair question, you autist.

And the game fucking explains it to him. What else do you fucking want?

Be sure to look up a wiki for the calendar management. I missed a few top personas because i didnt manage it properly. You should complete main dungeons as soon and quickly as possible so you have time to improve skills and links. Prepare for a lot of anime cringe. But i loved it as my first jrpg i ever beat
Btw i have p4 golden and p3 reload with the dlc. Should i play golden or wait for the revival (and play reload in the meantime)?
>>
>>737148907
>Should i play golden or wait for the revival

Personally I'm waiting and I think it should be announced sometime this year. After P3R, I just can't continue with 4's dated graphics

You are the reason we have to wait 100 years between every game nowadays.

Sorry I meant this carbon copy here. My bad.
>>
>>737149150
oh and also try to complete the palaces in one day. the first one or two might be difficult due to mana management but later will be easier, which is especially why you need kawakami. also play the featherman f game, genuinely kino small story in that
>>737149290
i still havent had a chance to play this game. should i try after i finish playing inifinite wealth?
>>
>>737144683
The time limits are extremely generous to the point they may as well not exist. You can goof around for weeks before completing the objectives. Most dungeons can be cleared in a day or 2 at most if you're not stingy with your consumables.
>>
>>737144683
Purse Owner 5, like most of the previous, makes it very easy to actually finish the game before the calendar time limit. That's mostly for optional stuff so it's hard to do it all in time. It's mostly a pretty easy RPG with way more talking than fighting, so you should be fine doing whatever. Sometimes a boss will give you trouble, but that means try again with a better plan.
>>
>>737149432
E33 has the battle Quick Time Events like Yakuza 7 and 8. The actual RPG side is simpler, but there's a bit more focus on the timing side. It's worth trying, just don't expect Final Fantasy Tactics.

Date the doctor and/or the teacher
>>
>>737149702
Anyone who doesn't hoard MP(SP) items in a JRPG is a fake gamer who may as well watch the game on youtube. The time limits exist for actual people. Not guide readers.

Turn your brain off from the story after the second dungeon, you'll appreciate not getting too invested.
Gameplay wise play around with demon fusion, try and keep hold of resist elements so you can cancel out weaknesses, and prioritise social links. Generally you should be able to clear a dungeon within one run, maybe a second if you're struggling, so get your social links up beforehand.
>>
>>737144772
Some games have particular segments or gameplay quirks that aren't obvious at first glance and players benefit knowing about beforehand
>>
>>737149150
>hard mode is the easiest mode
Why is that?
>>
>>737144683
Persona games are so straightforward for the genre all you need to do is PLAY THE GAME.
Who cares about first time social link maxxing.
>>
Did the same yesterday, played five hours tonight and it's been pretty fun. The doctor is pretty hot.
>>
>>737153428
Merciless makes it so everything takes 3x damage when you strike weakness or land technical/critical hits.
Royal changed a lot of boss fights to incorporate weaknesses so you do way more damage. Of course you take 3x damage when one of your allies gets exposed but the system still favors the player.
The hardest boss on Hard becomes the easiest boss on Merciless.
>>
The politician and school therapist have early endpoints, so if you're looking to max all social links, prioritize them.
>>
>>737153991
Also I think you need to rank Kasumi and Akechi and max the counselor to unlock the third semester, otherwise you’ll miss it entirely.
>>
>>737148229
Basically was until Royal tried to push Kasumi. Only for Strikers to go back to pushing Makoto again since Kasumi is never mentioned
>>
>>737154210
You can completely ignore Akechi and Kasumi and still get the 3rd semester. It's still useful do rank them tho cause of the passive bonuses and the Jazz Club unlock
>>
>>737148229
It's secretly Kawakami
>>
>>737144683
>What should I expect?
a lot of fast forwarding, cuz if I wanted a fucking book, I'd get something actually worth reading off of /lit/
Do that and it's a great game.
>>
also make sure to rank up hifumi because she lets you change party members mid battle
>>
>>737149432
There is a reason why so many people think E33 is a masterpiece and why so many people are seething over it.
Going through life without figuring out which one of those you are would be a mistake.
>>
>>737148229
Afraid so.
>>
>>737148229
No but she's a certified used condom guzzler.
>>
>>
>>737144683
shouldn't play the royal version but that's the only one they ported to other systems so just don't play past the original ending
you'll know it when you get there
>>
>>737144683
Not very, you can grind a ton if you want.
>>
>>737144683
The game is extremely easy and lenient. Expect lots of padding and bloat and the game dragging on for way to long. Enjoy the dungeons and combat aesthetic because thats all the game has going for it.

>Any tips for a beginner?

since P3 atlus have divided their persona games in dungeon exploration by the night, and bonding with the girls and ruijy the day...

you have to strength up to level 10 the bond with the doctor maruki, the mental consuler that comes to school to help student, is crucial that you level him up to level 10 before he leaves the school, if you dont do it, you cant proceed the DLC of yoshisawa by the end of the game and you will get the simpler end

i did my first run without knowing this, and have to restart everything from the beginning so you dont have to anon
>>
>>737144683
only end your day when you are out of sp cause no personas = no weak points (other than guns)

upgrade your melee/protectors when you can, buy sp/hp items. also, ann is best girl.
