  1. I don’t know if I did something wrong, but on 12/12, I am forced to take her to the buffet, rather than letting me go to the seaside park.

  2. Much easier way to beat the solo fight against Shido. Do what the guide says and have a persona that reflects phys, but also just use a magic ointment each turn. He will just hit himself each turn no matter what attack he uses. Should have plenty from a single Mementos trip with the perma pick

  3. I just want to recommend to anyone using this guide to consider spending a lot more time at the Jazz Club than is recommended here. You can get a lot of missable stat bonuses for your teammates from it, and on one day this month there’s even the debilitate move they can learn, which is crazy useful to have. I think the guide assumes you’ll get it on Joker, but if you already invested a lot of training into a Persona that doesn’t have debilitate, putting it on one of the teammates is a great option worth missing a decoration for.

    • You do not get stat bonuses from jazz, just new abilities. For which you have limited slots. If you get both ST and AOE spells of leveling , plus the final 2-3 abilities of each character ( which are all OP ) plus a support skill or 2 and the 1 jazz spell you get from the guide you are already at the cap.
      Granted you dont need decorations but you can use the decoration nights to finish twin events or further Hp SP training.

  4. I’m just gonna say this when you fight Shido dont bother using makoto shes really bad im gonna be honest Ann can nuke very easily at this point with agidyne and if super over lvl’d her severe fire after concentrate can two shot shido.

    • Not at all. Makoto has Nuke a severe attack and Concentrate (if you followed this guide) too. And not only that, Ann’s severe attack is to all foes while the Makoto’s one is to one foe. Attacks to 1 foe do more damage (for a single objective, obviously) than the multitarget ones.

  5. 12/22: You’re still not able to get 200% EXP Up in Mementos yet. With all the stamps collected through Sheriruth, the best you can do is 190% EXP Up, 200% Money Rewards Up, and two stamps left over.

    • Why would you go to the maid cafe at this point ? Stats are maxed. The only reason he visided in the end of November was probably to unlock it for the twin hangout ( but I dont even think its necessary)

  6. So this guide just completely forgets the twin wardens exist after their visit at LeBlanc? They are not mentioned anywhere after that point. Might want to edit this, some people might miss out on the conclusion to that arc.

  7. So this guide just completely drops the twin wardens side quests after visiting LeBlanc? Literally nothing about it is mentioned for the rest of the guide.

  8. To anyone who has gotten this far using this guide: if I decide to not romance multiple characters, Does all the free time in December give me enough leeway to catch them all up?

  9. Not sure if you’re even going to read this but, just want to mention it.

    You kind of fucked some of our playthroughs in the beginning of your guide due to inaccuracies about some social skills and no disclaimers about choosing specific choices to reach a confident level mentioned in your guide. You can find several people in the comments mentioning this. I wish I could somehow report a guide on this website. I’ll just post it on reddit for people to avoid this guide.

    If your going to make a guide, make sure to test your early game portion of the guide before publishing and moving on to the later portion of the game.

    • Bit over the top mate – I’ve followed this guide from the start (admittedly with a few of my own changes as I went) and I’m in December with full social stats and every confidant maxed out. Only thing I’ve really missed out on is the darts with Akechi.

    • Jeez, you sound like one of the comments on the Phan-Site.

      Even with its few mistakes, this guide has been extremely helpful and allows for so much free time to make up anything you may have missed. You’re free to try things on your own or look for a different guide, but acting as if this guide has “fucked playthroughs” is a bit much.

    • Brul, if you were any smart you would’ve looked at the comments section to see that the couple major errors with Ann and Takemi were fixed by other people testing and finding a work around. I combined the work arounds from 2 people and my playthrough isn’t on point it’s ahead slightly, where the guide said my social stats would max I was ahead of them all except for guts, where it said I’d only be spending time with someone I was on a rank up. Get over yourself and learn to look into a problem that arises when you know you haven’t messed up.

      • Like other people have said : the guide has minor translation issues but you can easily figure out the correct thing, and the only 2major issues were Ann and Takemi. The community has brainstormed and we solved the issue ourselves.However I do see that your initial comment is before our solutions. I understand your frustration but as you can see this month has plenty of free time so even without our solutions you still can balance things out ( just miss 2 gifts or something those are decorations only anyway).The guide has been perfect beyond that, max stats max confidant ranks, all the trader item-deals, max baton and tech damage levesl,hell as you can see it even managed for you to have a month with optional events trading gifts!What more could you possible ask for ? This is by no means ” a fucked up playtrhough” for anyone.

        The only thing I wish to happen is to add a warning about the romances at the beggining cause he does it at 3 overall.(last one is easy to fix though)

    • Probably in three months theyre playing on a translated japanese copy so theyve had it since the japanese release and they only updated until september
