Persona 5: 7 Need-to-Know Tips To Get the Most Out of The Game

Helping you be the best student you can be.

[tylerwolff]

This game is great at making you feel like you're missing out on opportunities. By the time I figure all this shit out, it will be too late to fix it.

[DressedRunner]

I've enough deadlines to meet in real life..

SP management tips (For those of you who don't mind long comments):
Do the Sojiro link to get access to the higher sp recovery. Call Kawakami to make them for you, thus freeing you up to do something else. Kawakami is a very helpful confidant. She can even make lockpicks, wash grimy gear, free up your class time, and give you her special massage allowing you to go out after you have visited a dungeon instead of going to sleep.Check every vending machine. There are several scattered hear and there that give sp recovery items. They restock once a week. Use a party member that's on the bench sp for healing. Buy hp recovery items as well. Your healer can just as easily use an item to heal you rather than their sp. Either way you'll be losing a turn. Use the Baton pass. Let someone else use their sp before your drain yours. You can buy an accessory from the doctor that gives invigorate 3. You can buy more than 1. Therefore, you can give your entire party invigorate 3 if you want. Take advantage of the system allowing you to rotate your party mid battle. Always fuse a persona with good physical skills/strength. Use attack whenever possible.

My best advice
Make sure your social stats are around the same level
Prioritize some confidants over others
Make sure you have a lot of leblanc coffee on you
Sell treasure
Try to always get money out of shadows
Max out Ryugi's and Ann's confidants
Explore mementos twice a month
Beat every palace in 1 day

This is my first persona game and I'm already on like October, and it's my new favorite turn based Jrpg

[bradm]

This is the first persona game i have played. I really wasn't sure if it was my type ofJRPG. After clearing the first castle i'm really hooked on the game. The music and style of the game is awesome. If you see it on sale like i did, do yourself a favour and pick it up. Great game. 9.5/10

[duckerz]

Another big tip is to spend as much time in dungeons and Momentos as possible! If you are done in them but have SP left over don't leave as it's a waste and you could get that extra XP or money which can help later on when completing the Persona challenges!

[emotional_strm]

This isn't really how to 'get the most out of the game', it's how to rush everything and optimise all your stats. Some people like playing this way, but I would much rather prefer just take my time and enjoy the experience rather than worrying about micro-managing all your essential relationships and maxing out trophies and such.

[matthiasck]

This game is MASSIVE
Thanks for the tips ☺

[joshrey]

Great video. I just finished the first dungeon and it took me 4 in game days to beat it because I kept running out of sp. Thanks for the tips. it's going to help me in the long run of the game.

[MonkeyDPirateKing]

ah no why did you spoil the teacher thing

[larcaidz]

I just finished with the kamoshoda section of the game and oh boy this seems intense. I’m gonna take my time and enjoy the story for my first play through (hence why I have it on safe difficulty 😭) and then on new game+ I’m gonna focus on all this complicated jizz

[dragonwake]

As much as I'm enjoying this game I'm starting to feel like it might be too much for me. I'm lucky if I get 30min a day to game.

[SpiritualAthiest]

yeah, having a persona that supports whoever you hang around with a big deal. I'm only finished with the second palace in my first playthrouh and am ay lvl 7 with Ann. also don't forget to buy gifts for people you socialize with to give to them at the right time from places like the underground mall. even if you don't like the move set of a certain persona, if they relate to a person you want your relationship to go with, make or get that persona. also try to get jack frost with mabufu soon as the twins in the velvet room will increase how many persona holding by 3 if you show them this.

[MalkinFan]

Do not forget to try to max out Mishima. Talking to him is like eating glass, but his boosts are incredible for raising you and your party’s EXP

[MiguelRPD]

Tip: Use normal mode in castle and hard mode for the rest. It's agonizing otherwise.

Also maximize that death confident fast. It's so much more useful to have sp restorative items. I'm at rank 7 and only just started the 2nd palace.

[hellminer]

Warning ⚠ keep in mind bond's are really important some like the sun arcana can only be gotten on Sundays you need to work at the beef shop 2 time to get him templar is important to max because you get more time to build bonds one's you max your bond you don't need to spend any more time on them. Next most important part is if it summer or any brake always keep a prasona for every member of your team. It helps on days where they stop by the shop and if you ill prepare you won't get the maximum speech point's

[terencecaron]

"you have to do dungeons in one sitting". uh no thanks. I'd rather play the game and not stress myself out.

[thekrakenexperiment]

Me: Oh boy, I’m excited to play this game everyone is recommending. I’m not good at RPGs though, so I should look up some tips.
Video: Make sure to get massages from your maid dressed teacher.
Me: ...I’m sorry, what the fuck?
