Is the Fortune Stat boost worth its price tag? I didn't notice any difference. And does it last the whole day or just the Daytime/Evening?

It lasts the whole day (and you can switch it mid-day too. Like for example. Boost Charm. Buy the stat boost drink on Sundays and it's Charm. No time passes, go back and switch it to Courage. Eat at the diner with the courage option. Time passes to night, switch it to Knowledge. Do whatever and then answer the TV quiz if it's a day where it has a quiz show. And get the boosts to all of them since it was active with the right stat when you did each activity.

I'd say it's worth it if you have the money to spend and/or you know you're going to spend a day doing activities that will work on the same stat, like 2 Charm activities or soemthing. It doesn't always show the effect in terms of notes because the number of notes represents a range. Like, for example (I'm making up numbers here too lazy to look all this up right now) 1 Note = 1-2 points gained. 2 Notes = 3-5 points gained. 3 Notes = 6+ points gained. If Fortune's boost knocks a gain from 2 points to 4 points, you'd see it go from 1 note to 2 notes, but if it knocked a gain from 3 points to 5 points it'd still show as only 2 notes but it did help you. And obviously you can't ever see more than 3 notes but it's helping there too.

Alright, thanks! That's really helpful.

Meanwhile, the summer continues. Went to hang out with Ohya for the first time since the initiation but eh... Still not very interesting. Apparently she used to be happier and covered politics but ~something~ happened to her that made her become a cynic and have bland character design. Ooh exciting. Not.

While hanging around with Ann, she wanted to visit Shiho and get distracted by at least 5 things and ending up ditching her. Then we meet this Mika who is obviously a jerk character. Oh boy.

So, the scene where Yusuke tries to paint the passion of the Christ and nearly made me strip in a church. This is probably the greatest Confidant scene yet.

genny seems to be the only one that has problems with that

... oh, I know why that miiight be

https:// [censored] .com/rpost.php?uid=GenesisSaga

bot basically picks random posts from that page (replace GenesisSaga with other bots copied accounts)... also that page provides a different output that contains topic/post info if read by bot ('Gmunbot' user agent)

my first thought was that maybe Gen is less active so it fails to pick up posts from certain logs which she might not exist in (namely the old lurker site's log before Genny was a B8er) but then I realized I have a measure for that

when loading that page it first selects a random database to search posts for (lurker, main, log1, log2, etc), and if there are no posts by the user in that log it it keeps track of failed database hits by setting them in POST data and reloading the page... you can see for yourself searching Zea_Destroyer which should only have active messages in the lurker database (inv0)

so if that's not it, it must be the post filtering on the bump script side -- where it blocks posts from Vlado topics, politics topics, Save-My topics, or simply posts that are too long (over 500 characters)

bot attempts to get a post 10 times (each time will always find an existing post, thanks to the aforementioned POST measures), but if bot can't find a post that isn't filtered out by those rules within 10 attempts, it gives up and posts the unable message instead

... GenesisSagat's issue is that most of Genny's posts are in Save My threads, so she fails a lot.

Actually I got to play a bit more!

Futaba woke up!
We cried to her and she did some hacking stuff...while Rakka and the gang cleaned up her room. Hell yeah we're KonMari-ing you.

After we're both done, Futaba fell asleep again. #relatable

But the next day...nothing happened! Actually, one Medjed member got doxxed. And I called it! Medjed was Futaba...and only her at one point, until other losers used the name.

And now we're trying to put her on ease by spending time with her and destroying her Power Ranger collectibles.

So we're still trying to butter up to Futaba so she'll join us.

We made her serve strangers subserviently. She hid behind an ugly giant doll head...SUCCESS!

Then the girls stripped her and told her to put on a bikini.

The next day the guys fed her big omelettes.

And now we're having a fireworks festival of sorts and Sakura-chan is here too! Yay! Morg isn't too fond of fireworks though, being a HUMAN (and not cat) and all.

So we went to the beach.
YESSS Ryuji in a swimsuit eheheh.

Anyway, Futaba is now socially functional again! Great success!

And so after a text from Mishima we went to the Mementos again after what felt like years...I almost forgot how the battles go lol.
Got to advance Strength twice so that was good!

The next day, Sakura-chan actually takes Rakka and Futaba out for sushi. Awesome, free food. He's getting to care about the dark murderous criminal.

On a side note, I can sense Morg angsty arc coming up. Now with an actually capable mission control the Phantom Thieves don't have to rely on a...mediocre furry human again!

So we're getting ready for the school trip! Hawaii, nice. I hope we get to see Lilo and Stitch there.

Also Makoto is now going all out in becoming a dirty cyber criminal by stealing data from Sae's laptop while the latter - Makoto's own flesh and blood - was taking a bath. How vicious.

And now that we can go to Akihabara I met a shota in a hat. My Confidant sense is tingling but I don't know how to even trigger his SL.

It's Mementos related.

Specifically (no plot spoilers just the details in case you wanted to figure it out on your own): You should get (maybe already got? I don't remember the timeline here) a Mementos request about a guy cheating at games. When you go down to face that boss, it ends up being unwinnable and the battle ends with the party wondering how to deal with it. That starts a mini-sequence where you talk to a few people and end up at "Get Smoked" hat and the link starts. The Rank 1 Benefit from that link also allows you to go back and clear the previously unwinnable Mementos request.

So the principal died and some people think it's the grimy Phantom Thieves who did it. Eh we'll let it slide. But they're really setting up for the public to turn against us and gives a moral lesson of how the public is fickle and shallow.

As for our next target seems like it'll be Okumura of the Okumura Food and Industries who's implied to be using Akechi to mind break his business competitors. I hope Wild Duck Burger is okay!

Morgana is gone and he tries to take on the Palace by himself. Seems like a scifi-ish setting...lab? Space ship?
And he teams up with Haru somehow.

(man that was a long string of cutscenes :()

As for the Mementos we kicked major butts, particularly the dregs that have been extorting money from Kawakami. And now if I ambush Shadows whose levels are sufficiently low I instantly get their mask...which is nice but sometimes I want money instead.

Interesting, will do.

Also the Palace is..."outer space"
UHH SURE THEN. The WHOLE outer space. I hope it takes thousands of years just to get anywhere.

As we're going into the Palace that sleazy Akechi is spying on us. Die.

Finally Mona stopped being emotional after we chased him around. And Haru agreed to join us to take down her own father who game her life and love. Good to see she's fitting in well with the merciless Darkfun Gang.

FINALLY some free time. I'm not really a big fan of how the game is structured...it's like 20 hours of cut scenes then 30 hours of free time...gets a bit too formulaic.

Also I initiated the CLink with Iwai now that I joined the Dauntless faction. He's a hottie too. Apparently he's in a rivalry with a crime syndicate or something? He literally wants us to take care of business and destroy evidences...gulp. But Hanged Man get!

Anyone can explain how the Customization works? Seems like at Level 1 we can only customize the shittiest guns and I apparently don't have any on my team.

Aaaand I also started the shota's CLink (Tower). Oh boy. Now I have 4 Confidants at level 1...Shota, Shogi, Shooter, and Shocially Awkward. Gonna be fun trying to balance them.

Other than maxing Kawakami dan Fortune to get, any other tips to help me get as many Confidant maxed as possible?

um

not too well because i never really used it

It just upgrades some of the guns. Given that ammo is a limited quantity I just stuck to using them for knockdowns so upgrading their damage was never important to me. IIRC there's nothing complex about it, it shows you what it'll be upgraded to so if you want it then upgrade it. The very best guns in the game generally can't be customized anyway though so =/

I want to say everyone covered most of the basics in the original topic but just to repeat some of the more critical points, Fortune and Kawakami are OP time management aids in this regard. Prioritize Sun too if he isn't maxed because that link cuts off for like the last month.

If you have enough Guts to start Iwai you're probably doing good on stats so just keep on those because you'll need them all eventually.

I entered the Palace! The space theming is cool.
Apparent Haru's dad treated his employees like robot. Very relatable with my current workplace.

Also I got stuck for nearly an hour at the Alpha Omega airlock puzzle. I was already sleepy so it being actually somewhat challenging just destroyed me lol. But I've passed it!

There was also one BS area with only a hallway when you arrive there, nowhere to hide, and two enemies. I got ambushed. >_>

Turns out I saved right before the treasure room anyway. I was running low on SP but I made it, yay! It's always so satisfying to finish a Palace in one go.

Time to go regroup a bit. I played with the shogi girl and learned she is a chuunibyou and screams the attack names in church lol. I'm glad she's already more interesting than I expected.

I also went to help Iwai a bit by serving as his henchman and fake-calling him...it's hinted that he was a yakuza. This Confidant Link seems very interesting, I hope it keeps up.

Finally went on an outing with the Doctor. Iiii kinda hate how none of the gifts restock. I hope they do something about that in P5R.

Tried Kawakami's massage...this is the best already. It's both free and gives me free time. Best teacher.

I don't like waiting too long between finishing a Palace exploration and sending the calling card (usually a week in-between) since it's like everyone's stuck in a weird anticipatory mood. So I sent it! Next time: fratricide.

Welp that was easy! The henchmen had clear weaknesses and the last one was manageable with buffs/debuffs and guarding at the right time. It's cute that the Big Bang Special heals characters with Hunger lol.

I liked that he tried to fake the change of heart but that was too obvious. And now he's mum about who the evil mind rapist was. (Hint: His name rhymes with Sakechi.)
