>told myself i'd breeze through the game and WOLD NOT minmax or try to 100% everything
>end up spending hours making this fucking abomination and farming 10 million yen with the boss confusion trick
anyone else UNABLE to not minmax? I really wanted to just play for fun :(
You done goofed, it's a worse version of Girimehkala or Rangda.
Why not rangda
Well i'm following a guide my first playthrough and it's definitely less fun but I can't help knowing i'd miss a lot of social links.

Why would I want REPEL phys for a persona made for infinitely farming? That would end up killing the boss
>took me 12 hours to get to the first boss
how long is this game
>>376926856
>>376926938
you guys dont get how the farming trick works do you
>>376927029
Took me around 85 hours to beat it, and I beat palaces in 1 day
>>376927029
took me 83 hours to beat the final final boss
>>376927029
Not as long as you might expect
>>376927029
I finished normal difficulty at ~80 hours.
>>376927029
Take that time x8.
>>376927120
Yes I get you confuse boss get money. What I don't understand is why you have a level 73 shiki ouji
>>376926949
u dun goofd
The first run of any new game should be blind. Use a guide in NG+ by all means.
>>376927351
Because I want NUL phys, not RPL
I was able to pull 10 million out of one boss because I nullified its attacks and never did any damage to it. If I were using a persona with phys RPL, the boss would've killed itself after a short bit.
>>376927029
took me 100 hours and i don't really think i did any unneccessary 100% completion shit, not sure how people are finishing it in 80. probably could have shaved a few hours off if i skipped some of the cutscenes that you'll see a billion times, like sadayo making coffee
>>376927540
Isn't chernobog the one that nets the most money on throws? He always used healing to heal any damage I ever did to him when he snapped out of confusion
>>376927029
my save has 150 hours clocked on it but I have a bad habit of not quitting out when I leave the room to do other things so that number is seriously bloated.
check out this autism 1/2
>>376927157
>>376927197
How? It took me 100 hours and that was with power leveling using the reaper so I didn't fight any battles the last two dungeons.
>>376927540
how do you get them to drop that much cash? After a while they seem to just run out of stuff to drop. You're just constantly escaping the fight and reentering or something?
>>376927029
Took me 116 hours by speeding through it.
>>376928315
2/2
>>376926949
I know how you feel man
I'm also really bad with picking the choices, and sometimes reset if I pick one and don't like outcome of it
>>376927383
There's very few games where I can get myself to play it a second time unless its at a much later time; especially with longer games like this
>>376926949
There are no missable social links in P5! People appear on your map greyed out when you can start an s-link with them.
50 hours and yet to beat the second palace
>>376926772
Don't worry, I have autism as well. If the game lets me, I'm probably going to do it.
>>376927029
My first playthrough took me 131 hours. 15 of those hours were spent in the Velvet Room making broken shit.
why do people make a big deal out of victory cry. it seems kind of worthless to waste a slot on
>>376926772
Given that higher difficulties basically advocate for minmaxing, you'd be stupid not to.
>>376928665
never played persona but its cool for dungeons especially on hardmode (smt4)
>>376926772
>minmaxing isn't fun
play merciless
>>376928352
More LUK = More money dropped.
at around 60 LUK, i was getting 150k per drop from Futaba's Memento request bosses.
Took maybe an hour to max out monies.
>>376926949
Impossible to miss Slinks since they show up on the map. And you can max them all out easily without a guide.
>>376928419
I wish the demon status screen in Persona 5 would change if they inherited null/absorb/reflect skills.
>>376929049
Wasn't that a preorder bonus?
>>376926772
>tfw I can't even play a game anymore without wasting a bunch of time for stupid achievements.
I'm hoping when I start on a hopelessly long RPG that i'm completely unfamiliar with like Final Fantasy X will break me of this vicious cycle. My backlog will never get finished if I can't get past my OCD.
>>376930021
Nope, FreeLC. Same as the nip voices.
>>376930021
Free DLC, pre-order bonus was Jesus as a Persona I think?
>>376928352
theres a few mementos bosses that can easily be confused and they drop a shit ton of yen depending on how much luck you have.
i didnt want to create a persona with high luck but even at only around 30 luck, the boss was dropping around 70k every time
the bosses are pretty weak too so just go in with joker so that the turns go faster.
of course the bosses dont always drop yen every turn but its still generally the fastest way to get yen.
>>376928578
100% false
>>376928337
I maxed the Twins and had the Metatron as early as I could possibly get him.
>>376928337
>>376928418
The time variances are so weird. I listened to all the voice dialogue and beat palaces in a day. Didn't powerlevel, it was blind run and it took me about 87 hours.
How are people getting such drastic differences?
>>376933027
Maybe it's just because of the difficulty they played on. I played on Hard and beat it in around 120-130 hours (not really sure because my time got bloated since I left it on for longer than I actually played). Game kind of reminded me of when I played Persona 1 PSP and ended up with 300 hours due to sleep mode still counting for time played.
>>376928337
How do you get the Reaper to actually show up? I was in Mementos for like three hours doing a bunch of quests I saved up over the summer and he never bothered me.
EZ
>>376933392
You have to stay on one floor for a few more minutes.
>>376933392
did you stay on one floor during the 3 hours? or did you keep jumping around different floors?
he only shows up if you stay on one floor for a long time but i still think theres a chance he wont show up even with that.
I know he shows up frequently during flu season or any other weather that effects mementos.
>>376933604
>tfw total opposite of min-maxer.
I was like level 63 at the final boss. I failed to max out the most useful social links, I still had stuff like Tower/Sun/Hermit at rank 1-3. My personas were usable but far from amazing, I'm pretty sure I didn't even have charge or concentrate.
>>376928419
If P5 Crimson doesnt have Mastema, we riot.
Whats his arcana, /v/ ?
>>376933604
>No Hassou Tobi
What
>>376928646
Still needs Magic Power.
>>376933869
>tfw only level 43 in Sae's palace
I should grind, right?
>>376926772
I made a shiki ouji the same way. It's a good investment, unlimited money means you can dick around in the velvet room however you like
>>376934324
Go to the gym, drink protein, get swole.
>>376928315
>no evil eye
>>376934130
Lunge is better
>>376926772
That isn't min-maxing. Because you are volunteering high effort, for little return. You are Max-mining
I'll elaborate. Having so much yen is worthless, I never came across yen problems on hard, but did some min-maxing of my own to make sure I as well as my persona's were over the level expected for a Palace.
