Haha pretty sure I only went to the gym once, and even then it was for Ryuji link. Did the bedroom pull ups once too just to see what happened, but there was never really any need to do it on NG. Merciless super boss I can see being a nightmare if past games are any indication.

You get money and personality stats from them, pretty sure you need to work at the beef bowl shop to open up one of the Social Links and the rest of the jobs have minor mementos requests attached to them.

Got everything i need to fuse the shadow for rank 9 of strength. Need to be 49 first. Think im 44 now. May grind it out in this dungeon. Dunno. I have the rank 10 shadow already in the compendium so i wont have to grind for that level requirement and once i finish 9 i can max the confidant. When i finish this palace i will only need i think 4 empress ranks and story confidants and ill have maxed all. Should be very very easy.
Then to finish the compendium and beat the super boss. |

That's cool that it gives you plenty of time, P3 was the hardest to get all Social Links maxed, absolutely zero margin of error. I cut it really close on P4 Golden too, think I got Ai done on the last available day.

You get around three weeks extra time (I think) but certain links aren't around anymore (for obvious reasons), including the two new links, and some switch to a reduced schedule, then there is also another week but that's exam prep so clubs also become unavailable. I ended up hanging out with Konishi for most of it because I only had him rank 3ish when I stopped the killer and he just mopes around on the street EVERY SINGLE DAY IN HEAVY SNOW. Think I still had music girl, Ai, Sports Bros, Daycare and Naoto left when I went into extra time. I didn't do very well min/maxing the free affinity you get for your party and the Dojimas tbf, got them done asap for the most part. Kept Kanji at 9 for as long as possible because his original persona is the best.
All party members also get a Rank 11 event w/ persona evolution over the three weeks so it's a lot to fit in. |

Probably not going to keep trying. I would but i didnt realize the money farm wasnt something that could be infinitely done so i wont ve finishing the compendium and coming in with the absolutely bedt personas is clearly the only avenue for victory

I actually never beat P3's superboss, it was 1 vs 1 and you needed a very specific set of resistances and top level skills because one of her moves did guaranteed damage above the HP threshold and there is absolutely no way you can survive it, if she ever hit you with a weakness you were dead. She fully heals if she ever drops below a certain HP limit so you need one specific move that will do enough damage to kill her, which requires Messiah and something else high end I can't remember, but if you use it too early she counters with an unblockable Megidolaon then fully heals EVERY turn. You cant buff, she's immune to debuffs. Absolutely crazy. I didn't stand a chance.

Im going to try and get as much money as i can in this dungeon. If i can get the top fool persona ill try it again. Tbf i have a persona with no weakness now so i mayyyyy try it one more time.

140k and ill have Satanael who ill be able to equip with multiple nuls and repels. Coupled with that item the Reaper drops that halves all damage i should be able to beat the twins now.
Use Joker as the healer and all should go well from there. Will take a few days though. After Satanael ill need to farm the yen to get the personas i had to delete to make Satanael happen. |

RIP Controller. Would you recommend a Merciless run or is it too much RNG? |

Merciless is totally manageable. Enemies are a threat. They can nearly (or actually) one shot you if they hold you're weakness. This makes combat very engaging and rewards you for being smart. If you make the star confidant a priority so you can tag in and out you'll be versatile enough to handle it.
On NG+ the first 70% is a non factor since youre going to have endgame persona out of the gate. Personally I would only ever play on Merciless for NG+. Doing a standard run on Merciless...would be tough. You would have to make sure to have the right persona on joker to exploit weaknesses since you wouldnt be able to tag until around the...4th dungeon? Maybe earlier but still. It would be a sizable challenge. If you set a penalty on yourself that you could only recruit persona from the compendium that were your level on a NG+ run I think it would be a fun playthrough throughout. |

Probably going to take the plunge with it then when I do my NG+.
Have this pencilled in for December at the latest. Really looking forward to getting back in Persona. I'm even considering dusting off the 3DS for PQ2 next year. Absolute no to the dance games though haha. |

Do you guys use the Confuse status to farm your money or have you been using Tora's Fundraiser ability? Or just plain old fortune teller / battle grinding I guess.
