Compendium costs aren't as bad as I remembered. I did burn through all of the money I made thus far in the 2nd palace trying to get that Ame-no-Uzume with Frei, though. At least I still have the loot left to sell...
But I leveled up a Succubus from level 7 to 13 and even with good skills she still only costs ¥4.200 to buy which ain't bad. The treasure persona is also surprisingly reasonably priced.
Have y'all been checking out Thieves Den? I decided not to do so until I get more of the characters, thinking a lot would be closed off anyways. How is it?
Pretty barren in the beginning, but there are a couple of nice props to place. The nice part is that your party members will come to visit and talk about the shit you've placed, which can make for some cute conversations. Of course, with just a few props
and party members available when you unlock the place, there's not yet a lot to talk about.
There's also a place to listen to the game's music and a wall with art where you can look at concept art, and even the in-game photos that get taken over the course of the game.
You don't have unlimited access however, because every single thing needs to be bought with coins. At least nothing is overly expensive and you receive relatively many coins for clearing challenges. Plus you can earn them with the Tycoon game, which apparently is wildly addictive. Haven't played it yet myself, though.
Also you can use any of your party member's models to run around the place. Running around as Morgana is something everyone should experience.
