what the fuck is wrong with this game i'm trying to follow

if it's too hard to play following a guide you should just play something else

>>378963829
Just play the game normally your first time. If you still wanna do a 100% run after that then do it on NG+.

>>378963829
Should've been grinding more on the Tartarus days.

Or save 100% for the second playthrough. P3FES is pretty strict about scheduling.

>>378963829
You suck at reading then?
I don't know what to tell you.

You literally came here to complain how you can't follow a 100% guide for an old game.

>>378963829
100% is meant for second playthrough.
just play normally and chill

Don't try to do 100% on your first run, just don't. I'm sorry, this isn't P4 or P5.

>>378963829
Youre talking about the arcade games etc. to max courage right? You dont have to take those every day. Go to the nurse whenever you can, catch the movie that adds courage, and you should be able to max it in time.
The guides ive seen aren't entirely accurate

>>378963829
As someone who did the NG max SLink run, it is definitely super hard.
You're probably not bringing a matching persona to SLinks.

More importantly stop using a fucking guide on your first playthrough, faggot.

>>378963829
why do people like these games? most of your time is spend battling over and over and over and over

Anyone who plays Persona 3, 4, and 5 with the mindset of doing everything on the first run is missing the point. Did you do everything in high school?

>>378963829
You don't even need a guide you fuckhead, you fucking suck

>>378966743
>You're probably not bringing a matching persona to SLinks.
Wait, what? I'm playing though this the 1st time, the persona you have equipped outside of Tartarus matters other than going to the arcade for stats? I'm 70h in and had absolutely no clue.

Oh, bless your heart.
You get more music notes during SLinks, which often makes the difference between them leveling up next time or not, especially for the higher ranks.

Same thing happened to me with P3, no one was lower than 8, but few were 10; I really fucked up.

>>378967352
I had no idea, did I just miss something in-game entirely about that mechanic or was I supposed to read a guide or some shit? I went in pretty much completely blind, though I just want to play the game normally, not 100% it or anything.

>>378967747
I honestly don't know how you missed it. If you ever had a matching Arcana Persona in your set while S.Linking, the game says something like "because you have the Persona (whatever), you may bond more easily."

P3 is hell to 100% social links in your first run. P4 and P5 are much much easier.

>>378967907
Wait, I know that. Is that it? I thought you meant that the selected Persona has to be of the same Arcana, not that I just need to have one equipped in my set with me.

>>378968125
It just needs to be in your set, not equipped. But you better have one of the appropriate Arcana for every single rank past 2 in all Links aside from Devil, and pick all the right answers, or you won't make it.

Just play the game without a guide then go back and do the shit you missed on another playthrough

I could not get into FES. I loved P3 though.

>>378968241
Yeah I knew about that, I just misunderstood what you've said. I doubt I'll max out all SLinks though, I'm in September and I feel like I've neglected a lot of them, I've only got 2 maxed and it feels like I'm close to the end of the game now. I don't mind, I'm not the kind to rigidly follow some guide the first time I go through a game. I'm doing well enough to have an easy time through Tartarus thus far anyway.

If I've maxed out Academics, is there any reason to study at night? Is there some hidden bonus or requirement regarding exams or anything like that?

>>378969150
Nope. Go out and work on your charm /courage instead.

>>378969150
There isn't any benefit if you've already maxed Academics.

Max Academics lets you start Mitsuru's social links and makes it more likely to ace the exams, just that.

>>378968487
>September
>close to the end
Not to get too spoiler-y, but the game proper ends on Jan 31.

>>378963829
Yr bad at video games m8
It's ok, but don't hurt yourself trying to be hardcore to be in the cool crowd
it's all about the fun

It's very easy to beat FES on a clean file with penguinknight's guide, BUT you need to understand the game well enough. So, don't do it on your very first playthrough.

Speaking of that guide, why does he start the Moon social link so fucking late? You can start it early and since he's in the non-school SL list, he doesn't get in the way of anything.

>>378969332
I've got all stats maxed, guess it's just SLinks and Tartarus grind for me then, since going to the arcade for Persona stats doesn't seem to be worth it since Tartarus has been fairly easy anyway.
>>378969483
I tried to start Mitsuru's SLink by talking to her in the hallway, but she didn't react in any special way. I'm assuming I need to wait for some story-trigger since I was able to start Yukari's and Fuuka's links that way.
>>378969547
So I've still got a bit of time for SLinks then, I should manage to get some more to max rank then.

>>378969964
You have to ace a test before Mitsuru will slink with you.

>>378970118
I see, is it even possible to ace the 1st or 2nd exams? I imagine it has to be nearly impossible to max Academics by then and I got all the questions right the 2nd time around and only got "top 10" results.

>>378970520
By trying to rush it you'll have other S Links suffer greatly, there's plenty of time to stick your dick in her later, don't be hasty

>he plays a game with guides
Why do people do this?

>>378971216
They're completionist fags who would rather 100% a game than actually play it.

>>378971089
I didn't really try to rush it, Academics is actually the last stat I maxed out.

What do you mean 100%? Max SLinks? You have tons of free time during summer to make up for losses at the beginning and you'll max out your stats before you'll put them to use.

Man P5 is so piss easy to max every confidant in 1 run.

>>378971981
It's true, people seem to forget you have like two weeks worth of optional movie dates that you can use to progress non-school social links.

>>378963829
Just play SMT, it's better game without faggy S-links.

P3F is the Persona game of the 3 newer games that was not designed to get 100% social links and max social stats in one playthrough. You're basically only meant to get 100% social links for your party members and 100% social stats, while progressing a bit in other social links too.
NG+ is where you max out your social links.

100% playthrough 1 either requires an insane amount of planning and luck (since you shouldn't know what to expect beforehand for certain special days), or it requires you to use a guide, so it's not advised. P4 (non G) is similar but a bit easier to max in playthrough 1, though still requires a fair degree of luck. P4G and P5 are the first games really designed so that, as long as you're not being stupid and you're finishing dungeons in one go when social links aren't available, you should get 100%.

>>378978961
>Slink answers giving out different point values it's retarded and it encourages a very streamlined answering process.
I like to think of them as a test to see how well you know the person and if you're paying attention, but they don't always work out that way.

>>378979142
There are a lot of retarded S-link answers which give you more points because it leads to you finding something out you couldn't have possibly known.
There are also S link answers where you try to cheer someone up or accept them for what they are that lead to nothing. It's a very shitty system.

Slinks would be infinitely better if it just let you freely choose what you want to choose. Beep boop is a great example of a fun answer that perfectionists won't choose, because it makes you miss out on +3 for Makoto, which is an entire action of spending time with her.

>>378977967
>You're basically only meant to get 100% social links for your party members and 100% social stats, while progressing a bit in other social links too.
What? You can only start to unlock party member SLinks fairly late into the game once you maxed out your social stats, there's a huge chunk of the game where you don't even have specific party member links and you'll make significant progress in some of the others unless you purposefully ignore them or something.

>>378977967
Your party members don't have social links in 3FES. Only the girls and it does nothing for them in battle.

Oh I get it. I just didn't want the other guy to have a situation where he gets a Severe level elemental spell but then resets because it isn't the right one since he'd be doing Elizabeth blind and wouldn't know that it doesn't really matter.

>all these fags saying to do it on NG+

Right, let me just play an 80-90 hour game and then replay it again right after finishing it just to do a few things I could've done the first time.

Of course you can't fight Elizabeth on your first playthrough, but whatever. It's just one fucking boss.

What if every character in P5 was genderbent and female Kamoshida raped male students?

>>378984340
If Elizabeth is "whatever" then why aren't the slinks you don't manage to max out "whatever"? If you only have time for one playthrough then do that one playthrough blind and look up anything you missed on youtube instead of ruining your first experience by following an extremely specific guide.

>>378968335
How is that even possible? FES is better in all respects.

>>378984690
SLinks actually matter. There are Personae you cant fuse if you dont level up the SLs, level boosts from the Social Link level, etc. Lot of things that actually impact gameplay.

If it were just about the scenes, of course Youtube would be a better option.

And I'm not defending OP, I'm just saying I understand why he would use a guide. It does make the game a lot less fun tho.

I have this problem with most JRPGs I try to use guides for. I'll get 10 hours in and it'll tell me to use an item, I won't have the item, and it'll turn out it was a missable thing from 2 hours into the game that the guide never mentioned. Shit like that always happens with these things. I chalk it up to these games being long, many people writing their guides based on the Japanese versions of the games, or honestly people not giving enough of a shit while making a guide and just skipping or even making shit up sometimes.
