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?

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.

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)?

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

i still havent had a chance to play this game. should i try after i finish playing inifinite wealth?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
