    So this is my first Persona game.

    How much do I need to worry about wasting time and days? I got a bit anxious watching Giant Bomb's Endurance Run of 4, and I don't want to get halfway into the game and feel like I'm helpless. Not too worried about not getting the best ending or anything, just worried that I'll be too weak to finish if I screw things up.

    At most you're looking at a situation where you have to spend multiple days in a dungeon rather than the minimum. Social Link bonuses definitely make you more powerful, but a large portion of your power will just be the character levels.

    If you're connected to the internet, you can also just see how most people spent the day each day, as well as their average level, so you can get a sense of where you're at compared to "the average". But just fusing up personas and keeping your best skills will keep you pretty on par, and you can ask for advice if you're not certain what skills are good.

    You should be fine

    Prioritize getting the dungeons done first. The first one or two might take you a bit as you adapt to the flow of the game but eventually you'll be able to knock them down no problem. As long as you can beat a dungeon boss you'll be able to make progress in the next dungeon

    If you're worried about falling behind the curve, level up Mishima's social Link as much as possible because he gives bonus xp to your party


    Fuse your brains out. always take the right arcana to social Link events. Train your social stats whenever you can't hang out. Keep in mind that Charm has a lot of freebie boosts and knowledge does too, so you don't need to lean into them quite as hard.

    In general, 100%ing the game on a dry run is nearly impossible without a guide, but as far as just beating it goes it's very hard to get so stuck that you can't advance

    Just finished palace 4, and I really appreciate their willingness to mess with the established formula for the dungeons

    That went way differently than the first 3, and I expect more twists are coming for the remaining...3? 4?

    Don't worry, he takes forever to level even if you have the right persona.

    Passing past Rank 4 is tied to story stuff and they never tell you this so it is possible to waste a bunch of nights on it

    He levels up at the normal rate, but is story locked. Once all the palace 4 stuff is done I believe you can start leveling him again.

    Shadow Sae is smooth as hell

    also it's become apparent at this point that the flash-forward scenes are taking place inside the metaverse, at the police station

    the question is how Actual Sae got there

    I have now dropped everything else and my sole focus is ranking up my charm because Makoto demands it

    This is not true at all. Once he's at Rank 4, it'll be like "I should give him time to figure this out" and you can't spend time with him any more.

    Really? Because I had him at Rank 4 for ages and definitely spent time with him more than is usually required to get a rank up.

    Maybe it's some weird NG+ thing, but I definitely definitely swear that he was just straight up not available (no little card over his head) for a long, long time.

    Almost done with Palace 4 then I need to somehow farm Mementos for Anubis to get more liquid mercury for the eternal lockpick. Need to up item drop rate.

    Sun 2 is super OP at getting me money, It's amazing.

    Just spent a good 2 hours in the velvet room spreading Charge + One Shot Kill + Snipe + Cripple to as many persona as possible; now I am become death, destroyer of worlds.

    man, the Palace 5 theme is so catchy

    @Viskod

    Almighty Boost, Almighty Amp, and Magic Ability are semi-rare skills you can get from Network Fusions. Anything with high magic is good to get them. Alice is a pretty solid bet.

    Wait, does Charge even work with gun skills? Or is it physical only?

    I think you might be thinking of, Palace 4
    the period when Futaba is recovering.
    He isn't available for SLink stuff from between her passing out and the day she stops Medjed

    Not unless Futaba started recovering around June
