You've got it all backwards. Going phys-heavy is how you deal with the biggest threats.

Also, Naoto is fuck busted in PQ, her Dark/Light attacks mean she can clear random encounters in seconds
I keep hearing this but what makes hama and mudo so busted in this? Is it the persona ability you can pass on that makes them more likely to hit? Is it really that much of a boost?
They just seem to work the same way they do in the regular games with a large chance to miss.
Copy-pasted from TV tropes:
"Many enemies are weak to at least one of the two (hama and mudo), meaning a higher hit rate and activating Boost, freeing you of any HP or SP cost the next turn. Naoto, in particular, is especially great with this with her high speed, decent attack power, having both Hama and Mudo while not being weak to either one like [Ken and Koromaru]. And with the Boost system, she can also cast her powerful Almighty skills without much worry."
Basically, she has two elements to exploit (three if you count her weapon), which gives her more access to the Boost status, which eliminates the high costs of her skills, which is an advantage no other character has.
That's not the reason why she's broken (Almighty skills are garbage in PQ). She's broken because the Impure Reach skill roughly doubles her chance of instant kills succeeding. This means that pretty much any character with high luck can abuse a similar setup with sub Personas (P3 protagonist, Ken, etc).
Random encounter jank aside, I think Aigis is the best character in the game due to her utility vs tougher bosses.
I might start playing Persona starting with 3 so I'd love to join the discord and get some help (quoting to get the invite link, don't mind me).

Welcome to the Persona Community Thread! This thread is for the discussion of all things related to the Persona franchise and it's internal developer P-Studio!
Thread Rules
As a general rule of thumb, all major spoilers should be marked. If you're uncertain what constitutes as a major spoiler, please err on the side of caution: mark it first, and then ask.
Spoilers should be tagged properly when discussing them. Mark which game you're describing, and what part of the game you're describing, and do not lead into a partial spoiler with the spoiler tag. For example:
Not acceptable.a robot
Acceptable.She's apparently a robot
For newly released games (this includes Persona 5), all material released in official media is fair game, but anything not officially released by Atlus should be spoiler tagged.
Please try to keep so called "Waifu Wars" to a minimum. Heartfelt discussions about your favorite character are fine, pointless drive by spam is not.
Beyond that, standard rules apply. Keep it cool, be nice to people, be respectful, don't be a jerk, and try to stay on topic. Positive thinking, yo!

Community Projects
Persona Central is a news site related to all things Persona and Atlus, run by FluxWaveZ and often assisted by many members of the GAF and ERA communities. It's a fantastic place to keep up to date on the latest stories.
SLinkFM was a RPG-focused podcast run by a handful of former and current members of our community. Originally focused on Persona, before moving out onto RPGs in general, they've interviewed many voice actors from the franchise, including Karen Strassman (The voice of Aigis and Nanako) and Erin Fitzgerald (The voice of Chie.) While the podcast itself has ended, the episodes are still available online for your listening pleasure.
i just want to say that the persona 2 eternal punishment portable opening is real bad - the intro up to the title card is fine, but then it weirdly shifts to "what if we just did the stuff from the ps1 opening, but like way worse in every respect, right down to including like, animated versions of the fmv montage clips used for budgetary reasons in the original's opening"
also lol forever @ taking the ulala mirror scene, which is one of the best composed scenes in the opening and gave you a greater sense of her character than any of the others, being hacked down to her her angry face on a few spinning shards of glass.

You don't have to quote anything, just post in the thread. (The old way to have hidden text was to quote but not post; the hidden text would appear in the post code. This went away with the 2.0 forum update.)
So something I found interesting. A YouTuber I like called Caddicarus recently put up his review of the PlayStation Classic.(spoiler:he didn't like it)
What I found interesting though was his thoughts on Revelations:Persona. He talked about how he immediately drawn in by the art and strange world. Random but I find the perspective of someone unfamiliar with the series being drawn into it fascinating. I'm hoping he checks the series out as he only played for a few minutes to get a brief look at the games quality on the PSC.
I think the fact that someone can become interested even from just seeing a few minutes speaks to the quality of the series even if it's not an entry I personally like.
I don't know I find it cool to see someone new seeing it for the first time.
If you're curious he talks about it at 17:45.

Concerning Junpei Iori's English VA: https://www.resetera.com/threads/vo...ia-antisemitism-and-sexual-harrassment.94896/
Had been hearing these stories for a long time, and it's surfaced again.
Had been hearing these stories for a long time, and it's surfaced again.
As someone who genuinely loves his work in Persona, FMA and RWBY, this is really depressing to hear.
This is incredibly disappointing as his performance as Junpei is one of my favourite performances in a game. Most disappointing though is that it sounds like this was pretty common knowledge for a very long time. I'm hoping that we won't hear from him anymore in the future but I won't get my hopes up too much.
OP

Yeah, I've heard these stories too. His homophobia has been well known among CLAMP fans. x.x
So someone made a persona 5 board game.

He also made it for table top simulator, which made me want to pick it up.

I love Aigis in Persona Q so much. She's a real weirdo.
"You bet your bippy"
I fricking hate Teddie so much though, he's super obnoxious.
Still miss his original VA, Sam Riegel's lines just kind of grates on my nerves. He went from cartoonishly charming to just kind of annoying.

Best advice I can give is to listen to Japanese Teddie.
It'll make the most amateurish 90s dub sound like the sweetest song.
edit: But hey, I've liked Sam's version of Teddie better than Dave's since Arena, so what do I know?
That looks amazing! I'll have to try it out someday. He's also done a Fire Emblem one that looks great too.
When are we getting PQ2 in the west? I want it Atlus.
And man, I pretty much stuck with one party throughout the first game, but it's gonna be even harder in the second to choose a team. Wonder who will be good, not good, buffed from the first game, nerfed
My team was P4MC, Akihiko, P3MC, Aigis, and Naoto. I wanted to use Kanji but just couldn't fit him in.

A rhetorical question is one that's meant to not be answered.
A redundant question is one that's already been asked.
I managed to get King Crazy on every song in P3/4/5D on hard difficulty!
P3D was the first game, while P4D was the last game.
The last song I got KC on in each game was Burn My Dread (OP ver) for both P3D and P5D, and The Fog (Atlus Konishi remix) in P4D.
Going try my hand at All Night difficulty but I don't think I'll be getting KC on every song.

You are a lot better at this game then I could ever hope to be.
I at least recommend looking up the social events for 3/5 Dancing.
There genuinely good character moments IMO.
Seconding what Crazy Izanagi said about the social events in P3/5D. There's some nice moments in them worth checking out.
As someone who agrees with you on the idol stuff, I've loved the character bits in 3/5D.
Meanwhile I can't bring myself to even look up P4D's story.
I suffered through PQ1s boring ass gameplay just for the character interactions, so I'm almost grateful in an ass backwards way that I won't be playing this one.
Yep. Which also makes it the first modern Persona game that I'm not getting Day 1.
If ever if I don't just watch the cutscenes on YouTube.
Yep.
The lack of a dub has killed all of my enthusiasm for PQ2.
Lack of a dub has definitely put a damper on my excitement for PQ2 and this is pretty soon after I had turned a corner on it and was actually starting to look forward to it.
a koromaru plushie??? thats so unfair, i dont actually wanna play this game but damn i want that
No dub is a shame but I'm not going to let that stop me from buying the game. The first one was great and this one looks even better.
I'm honestly not sure whether I'm going to get Q2 or not at this point. I hope the Q games get another shot on other platforms in the future.
I feel like I should change my avatar now. Feels wrong to have something for a game I don't even intend to buy anymore.
Edit: eh I'll keep it till I find something I like more.
