Yeah, for that boss it's super important to stay on top of status ailments - he can be a dick and also a mega damage sponge. Play safe until he is vulnerable then do all you can in that short time.

Yeah you're kind of meant to make new personae pretty much each dungeon. The S. Link boost being a nice bonus. I wouldn't say it's too much of a cheat to read a fusion guide. There's a goodun on Gamefaqs.

Question about, I think, the 3rd or 4rd quest:

Spoiler:

It's the guy that wants specific liquor from the store. I'm not sure how to get it, do I need to wait till it's been my birthday? I seem to be too young to drink yet. I have a feeling I must have been able to solve it by now but I don't see it. Hints would be appreciated.

You might want to try talking to Yosuke while inside the TV.

Speak to him back in the main area of the tv world, not at a dungeon. You know, the place you stand as soon as you enter the tv.

10 hours further and so much has happened!
I'm looking up quest requirements more often now though, it just takes time talking to everyone to see if they have any clues / scan every area.

Yumi's my girl, and she shows up from time to time to hang out, I sometimes accept but will this actually benefit something? Apart from me feeling bad if I keep on ignoring her. At least with Marie (who's also at max.) I got to hang out with the others, which makes everyone a bit happier.

Combat is easy enough to not bother me. I've done most dungeons two/three times so far, and might have been a bit overpowered for the last boss I did. Still died a couple times but that was mainly because of bad Persona usage.

I've got 6 people to choose from now and just did the dungeon after that.
Only got about 4 months left on the calendar in my bed room, and I just had a couple of important story bits happening. Will be sad when it will all end. Got 50% of the compendium filled, think most of the social links unlocked (missing two by going by the numbers on the cards), only need to level two social skills up with one more level, read loads of the books, can start fishing at the sea, need to drink coffee in the city and try and finish that special dish.
Winter is coming, looking forward to what will happen during Christmas, New Years Eve, Valentine's Day and the cultural events that are in the calendar. Can't stop thinking about this game, 90 hours in and it still feels fresh, keeps on giving new things to do, while still being able to follow a daily schedule (catch bugs, read, jobs social links etc). Love it.

I read about that, will keep as many separate save slots as possible. Thanks. I'm not ready for this game to end at all, so the longer I can extend, the better.

Nah it's a decision about someone's fate.

Ah, the game actually tells you important things are going to happen and strongly recommends you to save. Had to quit after saving though, looking forward to continue. Decided to take it easy this week with gym etc. and hoping to finish this one.

All social skills are at max, meaning I shouldn't be running into those annoying "you can't do this because you're understanding isn't good enough" messages. Think I also got all my social links unlocked, have number I to XX and Adachi, who is a 0 for some reason (don't think I spent time with him).

Just at the start of December, Christmas is coming!

I'm still in Void. Missing a few Links.

It really is quite something. Can't stop thinking about it. So many emotional swings today... Loving every moment.

Would have never guessed (don't read this Elf)
How many times have you finished this now Cinty? Does it carry over social link progress / persona fusions / social skills? I'm pretty sure I'll replay this in a year time if I can check out the other social links / work on a 100% compendium. It's just too good.

That spoilered bit is what makes me want to restart almost immediately after I'm done, trying to see what I've missed the first time around, and indeed shows just how good this game has been put together.

Shame about the social links in the restart, is it actually possible to do all in one playthrough? There's a trophy for it so I'm guessing it should be. 8 times minimum ehh, that's quite something!

Back to the game, just maxed Teddie's SL.

I'm not worrying about getting them all maxed this time round. Discovered some way to late for that to be even possible. Just had the feeling my time management wasn't too bad, and I still have only half of them maxed. Had to study a lot of course this time, and I think they progress quicker if you have a Persona from their social link with you. It's an interesting mechanic.
An just cruising through the game now and having fun.

And yes, there's a lot that I want to be doing when replaying.

Kill it. Took me a few times as well.

I'm redoing the last dungeon I completed. For quest items, the new boss and money, so I can prepare for what I think might be the last dungeon. Most of my team is now between level 75 - 82, hopefully that will be good enough for the next one. Feels pretty powerful at the moment.

Gotta choose my team and my own persona wisely I suppose.
