@@blixbySE Well they might've played it on merciless or the difficulty below that, or he is very indecisive. Or both. Or they're me without looking things up.
The "getting lost" part gets me so damn hard. I started this game last Wensday and it took me 5 minutes to find where I am supposed to go with the Ginza line.
just to note: I've beaten P5 twice now and recently reached the 200 hour mark (The game kinda stole my heart (hehe) over the last month) I've encountered a hostage situation a grand total of ONE TIME Edit: I have now beaten P5R and it only happened one more time
I just finished my second playthrough with a total playtime of around 230 hours and I still have yet to have anybody taken hostage. It's the last trophy I need for the platinum as well >.>
well i bought the game last week and finished the first palace. i got into a hostage situation 3 times. and i only have 8 hours of gameplay. I'm playing at Normal Btw. i guess is suck at protecting my party
Bring your shit party member (Makoto works best) and get hit by psy skills. Seriously, this one can't dodge for shit cause balanced stats. At least the en stat is kinda OK so she survives if it's not merciless.
It happened to me once and I was in auto pilot mode so Ann was grabbed and I just spammed X and she got KO lmao I just used the rez ability and moved on, tho I wish I got the trophy
People watching P5 video with minor spoilers: Wow this video is really informative! People watching BOTW video say the MC is Link and Zelda is the princess of Hyrule and the villain is Ganon: OMG SPOILERS!

(tw depression) Forgive me if this is oversharing but I wanna say a couple things about what this game did for me. I came into p5 irl hella depressed, anxious, and basically spiraling. By the time I finished my playthrough several weeks later, I felt happy, more confident, and literally excited about living, an emotion I haven’t felt in years. Watching these characters process the trauma they’re subjected to and exploring the Jungian concepts within the story for myself gave me perspective to process my own. I can’t overstate how game-changing that has been. My first exposure to p5, really to the series as a whole, has been this video. If it wasn’t for buns and their (? sorry hope I got your pronouns right) insanely entertaining presentation, I never would have picked up the title. So from the bottom of my heart, buns , Tyler, fucking thank you. You *literally* saved my life. To anyone suffering from depression of mental health conditions, take it from me, it really does get better. Took me the better part of my life so far, but you really do start to feel happier, and life does start to feel worth living. Even if everything seems grey and empty right now and you really can’t see how that could be possible for you, it is, and you will experience it. Get good counseling (working with mine laid the foundation for everything I wrote about at the start), and pick yourself up 15,000 times if you have to (16,435 for me-yes that is accurate). Just keep waking up, just keep fighting. Love you all.
Something I'd like to bring up in relation to the whole topic of mental health at least is that there's actually a lot of benefits in both your mental and physical health by getting some exercise in at least everyday. Nothing crazy like some ultra hardcore bodybuilder weightlifting regimen mind you, but even something as simple as a 30 minute walk can do wonders for both physical health as well as mental. Hell (as I attempt to steer my topics back to the subject of the video,lol), I'd argue that playing Persona 5 in your spare time throughout the day on top of the daily dose of exercise and just generally taking care of yourself can do nothing but good in the long run. Then again what do I know, I'm just some random goober on the internet, lol.
I’m glad I saw this comment cause 1) I’m so happy you’re feeling better! 2) This proves that video games aren’t just mindless time wasters for everyone, they can help in surprising ways. Persona 5 is such a great game! It’s one of the only games I’ve completed 100% of the trophies.
@@crimsonwizahd2358 homie was just saying this game helped them process their own trauma and helped with their mental state, i dont think unsolicited advice on how to help was really necessary ijs homie found this game to helpful just leave it at that
I have never watched any of your "for beginners" series BUT OH MY LANTA, your humor, timing, editing, scripting, EVERYTHING is spot on and DAYUUUM you did a good. Liked, subbed, commented, cried, laughed and thanked. (thanku)
Persona 5 royal was literally the best game I have ever seen. My brother and I bonded through his play through, which I never missed an hour of. The music is incredible, the plot and character development is priceless, and the ending cutscenes will make you suicidal because this game is so incredibly amazing. UGH THE CREDITS MUSIC MAKES ME SO DEPRESSED WHY
Once I finished the game for the first time and keep in mind PSR was the first time I played persona 5, I literally got depressed and didn’t know what to do with my life anymore. BUT THENNNN I found out that strikers just came out and add never been happier.
Post persona depression. Currently penduling between coping with it by replaying p5 and maxing out all confidants (and dating sumire) and coping with it by replaying p3fes for the first time in a decade. P3 is a very important game, to me and I don't remember much but the emotions felt so it's a bit of a frightening prospect.
@@kassimasinia3314 There's actually a few more examples of differing gender in the Persona games. In Persona 1, Brown had a female for his initial Persona. In Persona 2, Yuka's Ultimate Persona, Freyr, is a male Norse God. In Persona 3, Ken's initial Persona is Nemesis, the Greek Goddess of Revenge. In Persona 4, all of Naoto's Personas are male. And in Persona 5, Futaba's evolved Persona is Prometheus, a male Titan.
Takemi is best girl. Love a woman who says "Hey. You wanna buy stuff from me? Ok. Drink this. I'll document if you live or not....oh my lord, you actually drank it..."
Important tips for your first time playing Royal: Try to max out Ryuji. The skill you get from him makes the game a lot easier. Guns are a lot more useful here than in vanilla. Still not the best way to deal damage, but now more a viable option. The Reaper trick that buns noted here is not in Royal. Don't go in expecting to be able to cheese it. There are a few characters not in this video, that are in royal. Youll notice them cause they're story important too.. Try to max them out, as they are what make Royal what it is. Just trust me on this.
i played og persona 5 ages ago and only recently started royal and guys PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAX OUT MARUKI BC THERE IS A TIME LIMIT I WAS UNAWARE OF🙏🙏 i didnt and now im speedrunning the game all over again bc i didnt get royal’s true ending and unfortunately did not have a save file i could just go back to 😐😐😐

"at least 80 hours" *has 30 hours and is barely on the second palace* oooh boy im in for a RIDE Edit: 2 weeks later I’m at the end of the game with 111 hours. My god
278 hours and 15 minutes is how long it shows for my first playthrough :') Starting ng+ with my finish time being carried over, I'm now at 379 hours and 7 minutes and barely on my way to starting Okumura's Palace :") So yeah, that's 101 hours and 8 minutes for this ng+ so far...

"Just leave and re-enter the fight until the reaper has despair ans it kills itself." *looks at roommates who are die hard persona fans* Me: "Is that legal?" *roommate throws chair at me and leaves* P.S i still have a cut from when he threw that chair at me.
wanna know something about legality? tell them that, based on the days of the week in p5, joker and nanako are the same age. then tell them that futaba is younger than nanako. then tell them that joker was born during persona 3. all of these statements are true.
lol i hated the reaper in persona 3. it scared the shit out of me the first time i played it and you hear chains and futa says "be careful, i sense death!" and you basically have to run for your life to the stairs and hope it doesn't catch you or hope to god you have a goho-m. and then they make a way to beat it easily in P5 and i'm caught between jumping for joy and screaming in rage.

Literally ANYONE can have useful perks to contribute. Kawakami can pass time for you while you're doing your Phantom Thievery, Futaba can help you navigate Mementos and give your party a Masukukaja buff, Ichiko helps you stay in Palaces longer, and Sojiro allows you to make SP-restoring items that are a HUGE help! Edit: Futaba doesn't just cast Masukukaja. She can apply a wide range of buffs, and heal or restore a fraction of HP or SP to your party.
I actually always complete the Palace as soon as it's given to me. I started doing this after I discovered that getting tired in Mementos isn't a thing in this game. Once I'm done I'm free to use the 10+ days to boost my stats and social links.
I must be living underneath a massive rock. Thank you Smash for introducing me to this game; aka another black hole that will devour my time and money.
15 years ago it introduced me to Legend of Zelda, and my life had never been the same since. 10 years ago it introduced me to Metal Gear Solid, and my life had never been the same since. 5 years ago it introduced me to Fire Emblem and Xenoblade Chronicles, and my life had never been the same since. A couple months ago it introduced me to Persona, and for gods' sake my life is barely recognizable.
I love how Persona fans are so welcoming of new players instead of saying "I don't want these normies invading the game I like", because some people are dedicated GATEKEEPERS

22:34 ...I'm at November in this game, and I never noticed that you can see where your confidants are from the quick travel menu... *slams head into table*
At least that isn't as bad as when I played Suikoden IV and I went through nearly two playthroughs without realizing there was a speed up/sprint button for when you are running or sailing lol
That messed me up too. Everyone said Mementos is optional and just for sidequests and the main palaces are the main dungeons but if anything Mementos is the main dungeon and the palaces are side stories.
I just started playing persona 5, im absolutely new to the series and... I can tell Ryuji is a good boy who just wants the best for everyone and everything
Donald Duck: I am no shadow, I fight for the light and letting 15 year olds die cause I don't feel like healing them is my passion. My true name is *Donald Duck* and I am the reason this game needs subtitles. God I love you, Buns XD
Some tips I wanted to give for Persona 5. 1. Swift Strike is a skill you can get at, last I checked, level 19 at the earliest and, due to how the damage formula works, it's on par with end game skills. It's absolutely overpowered for when you get it. Take it and abuse it. Even against a single target, use Swift Strike. Just do it. Only don't use it if they resist, null, drain, or repel physical. 2. Bless and curse are the most important elements for Joker to carry on him. Try to always have them. Just to be clear, I mean the damaging ones, not the instant-kills. You should probably try to keep all the magic elements anyway, but at least other thieves can do the others. Bless and Curse are for Joker. 3. Hold on to Rakunda. The core party members get all the buffs and every other debuff (Morgana has Sukunda, Ryuji has Tarukaja, Ann has Tarunda, Yusuke has Sukukaja, Makoto has Rakukaja, and Haru has... Heat Riser and karns, I guess) but no one can debuff defense. Feel free to replace it with Debilitate when you can, but otherwise, this should be treated as essentially Joker's buff move. 4. For the different elements and, um, gun, there are boost and amp skills. Those are invaluable. Use them always. 5. Don't bother with single target kajas. They're the best you'll have for a bit (Ryuji buffing Joker is nice), but replace it with its Ma counterpart ASAP. Debuffs are more arguable if you want to save on SP, but I'd use the Ma versions of those also. 6. While Debilitate is awesome, Heat Riser isn't. Heat Riser only applies to 1 of your 4 party member, and even then, only for 3 turns. It's significantly worse than Luster Candy in the main SMT games. Only ever use this on Joker, but I'd recommend sticking to the Ma-kajas. 7. Buy the most expensive fertilizer you can. Feeding your plant is a free action, and getting free kindness is always worth it. 8. Try to always secure an infiltration route for palaces in a single day. You don't want to waste time. That's time you could be using towards confidants. 9. Look up the social stat requirements and try to anticipate when one of your confidants will hit a brick wall 10. A lot of passive skills are really awesome. Some of the ones that I'd recommend are resists or higher for elements, Arms and/or Spell Master, Victory Cry, etc. 11. No, not everyone does damage evenly. Ryuji and Ann are massive hitters, but Haru and, to a lesser extent, Yusuke also hit pretty hard. Morgana and Makoto are support. Bring along one, and only one, of those two at a time, making sure to switch them out when one gets tired. If you plan on beating a palace in a single day, especially early on, you'll probably go through both their SP pools. 12. If you want to grind as hard as possible, go to Momentos during flu season when you unlocked the ability to run away from fights instantly from the Star confidant. Wait around until the Reaper shows up. Fight it. It can sometimes get despair from the flu season, which will kill it for free and give you massive amounts of experience as if you actually fought it. If it doesn't have despair, just run away. It will mess you up. Don't fight fair. 13. Physical and Gun use your health instead of your SP. Let me tell you right now, this is a MASSIVE advantage. It costs way less to spam physical moves and occasionally heal them than it takes to spam magic. Ryuji, Yusuke, and Haru make SP management more efficient because they don't really need SP to be effective, just health. It also helps that HP restoring items are all over the place, but SP ones are way more rare until you get far enough for Coffee/Curry, vegetables, or adhesives to be a factor. Edit: Hey, some more tips I'm adding here that I think might he helpful. 14. Severe spells (meaning the spells above -dyne) are not worth it. On Makoto, Atomic Flare is a complete joke, since she should be using her SP for support. For Ann, Blazing Hell still burns through her SP incredibly quickly for only a marginal damage increase over Maragidyne. Just stick to -dynes. Note that the severes may be usable in specific situations in Royal (ex: a Black Frost with Spell Master would spend only 12 SP for Ice Age, so knock yourself out), but otherwise, stick with Dynes. 15. Divine Judgement and Demonic Decree are the two worst skills in the game. Don't be fooled by their end-game only availability or cool animations. Divine Judgement and Demonic Decree are skills that half the HP of a single foe for 48 SP. They also don't work on bosses. Now, compare this to Hamaon and Mudoon (which are already outcompeted by Kougaon and Eigaon), which have a 50% chance of instant-killing an opponent for 15 SP. Against a normal opponent at full health, both have an expected value of 50% enemy health. Hamaon and Mudoon also can kill enemies, which Divine Judgement and Demonic Decree will NEVER do, Hamaon and Mudoon can have their chance increased with Hama and Mudo boost, and they cost less than a third of what Divine Judgement and Demonic Decree cost.
Once i got siegfried & yoshitsunehe they broke the game, start battle with seigfried auto-mataru then swap out to yoshitsune hassou tobi and bam tadaaa everything is cleared
AMEN FOR THIS COMMENT. Although I will say that on certain enemies, Demonic Decree and Divine Judgement aren't that horrible. Like, in the original game (NOT ROYAL), the skills DO work on the Twins' boss fight. Not to mention, if you're against a normal enemy that you didn't expect to be a hell of a lot stronger than you but you don't wanna run from for the sake of experience or yen, (c'mon, we've all been there, we're greedy bastards who want exp XD) cutting their hp in half is extremely helpful, so as to cut battle time in half as well and also lessen the odds of your party dying off :') So yeah, the 50% eaters aren't that bad, but only on certain enemies. So basically, *don't* just NOT use it. However, _do_ be mindful of when and where you use it, because you never know, it COULD come in handy :3
Just starting the game, never played any other Persona titles. This is the best intro/beginners' guide I've found so far, hands down. Much appreciated!
I love how you made the video both comically funny almost as if you're trashing it, but at the same time, shows how much fun and addicting this game can be. I mean, half the things you say sounds ridiculous, but we know it's related to the game. Beans, art, spandex, the TH-cam comment section, people bursting into flames because of *EMOTIONS*, injecting coffee straight into your eyeballs, being screamed at to go to bed at gunpoint, loving and supporting correctional officers, sushi, pancakes, RED and some stuff that ♪ you'll never see it comiiiing~ ♪
I've found that the best dream team is Ryuji, Yusuke, and Mona. Because Ryuji and Yusuke use their HP to do more damage with melee attacks, and Mona can heal, that saves a LOT more SP for Joker, which also helps you go longer without needing to leave and come back. Plus, Joker can just fuse personas for every missing element type. So the heavy physical hitters that don't use up your SP are very useful for clearing out dungeons.
No but seriously I thought the game was about to end like 4 times and even when I got to the point where I knew for sure this time it was all going to be over and I could have my life back the game was still like HAHAHAHA WAIT FOR ANOTHER HOUR AND A HALF OF DENOUMENT BUDDY. Buns wasn't joking.
Okay, real talk: I've watched this whole thing a couple times before getting the game, and I chuckled at the jokes. I've since played the game past the first Palace and I'm laughing towards a coughing fit and I'm not even 6 minutes in. Context *really* brings SBB's humor to a new level, y'all.
I felt like the final palace was pretty obvious after that buffet scene. I mean, the guy in that scene and the guy from the flashback look really similar. After that scene, it didn’t take even 30 seconds to figure out who our final boss was. The one I didn’t see coming was the 6th palace, whose owner got spoiled for me by TH-cam recommendations of all things.
If anybody here was wondering what that little blurb says I took the liberty of typing it out exactly how it was written. If ya’ll comment that this video is nothing but spoilers I swear to god I will go nuclear on you. I legit am only showing the first 3 palaces and I even coered up the bosses with a freat oatmeal box guy what more do you want??? All the stuff im saying is public knowledge anyway unless yall count knowing the characters on THE BOX COVER SPOILERS? And if you gonna be lie “well The BeSt WaY To GeT InTo PersonA Is To No IkNOW aNythInG blaH BlAh I had No frienDs To tell me WhaT to ExPect” just shut up. This game is like 100 hours with a crap ton of mechanics so forgive me if people want some help. An if ya don’t wanna know about what to do THEN WHY THE HELL DID YOU CLICK ON THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE.
I bought this game yesterday afternoon and I came home and thought i'd just try it out a bit before I do something else. And then it was 2am and I was still playing >_< My first JRPG too! This video has been a lot of help.
Clarence Dass It's one of the best JRPG series. If you like this you will probably like Persona 3 and 4 ( 1 and 2 are pretty different). Or maybe the Trails of Cold Steel games.
For the beginners, level up the Temperance and Wheel of Fortune confidants! Temperance gives you more time, and Wheel of Fortune will increase the effectiveness of things you do (either building personal stats or confidant relationships).
Goldenglare_thewindeater I bought this game because of this video and I'm loving every second of it. I would have been quite lost if it weren't for this video!
"When you think you're near the end, YOU'RE NOT" I felt this hard in P5R because I thought I was almost done and gave myself a goal to finish it in maybe six hours at the most. 14.5 hours later: /confused and agonized screaming/
As someone who knows nothing about Persona, I shall assume Persona is just Jojo's Bizarre Adventure but as a high school anime and with psychological trauma and deicide.
@Awsumsaus1412 • The joke is, in Jojo, only certain people have powers, and the powers manifest themselves in different forms, like Personas do. And, these powers in Jojo can only be seen by people who also have powers. Like Personas.

"This game is at least a 80 hour experience"
Im sorry are you a speedrunner?
Took me 87 hours
@@charlescalvin2351 Yeah but your charles bt default you are a god
It took me 76
Exactly first playthrough of royale I am at 120 hours and I am in late november.
I did 60 hrs.
*Starts up P5R for the first time. First thought:
"Welp, time to watch Persona 5 For Beginners for the millionth time!"
(tw depression) Forgive me if this is oversharing but I wanna say a couple things about what this game did for me. I came into p5 irl hella depressed, anxious, and basically spiraling.
By the time I finished my playthrough several weeks later, I felt happy, more confident, and literally excited about living, an emotion I haven’t felt in years. Watching these characters process the trauma they’re subjected to and exploring the Jungian concepts within the story for myself gave me perspective to process my own. I can’t overstate how game-changing that has been.
My first exposure to p5, really to the series as a whole, has been this video. If it wasn’t for buns and their (? sorry hope I got your pronouns right) insanely entertaining presentation, I never would have picked up the title.
So from the bottom of my heart, buns , Tyler, fucking thank you. You *literally* saved my life.
To anyone suffering from depression of mental health conditions, take it from me, it really does get better. Took me the better part of my life so far, but you really do start to feel happier, and life does start to feel worth living.
Even if everything seems grey and empty right now and you really can’t see how that could be possible for you, it is, and you will experience it. Get good counseling (working with mine laid the foundation for everything I wrote about at the start), and pick yourself up 15,000 times if you have to (16,435 for me-yes that is accurate). Just keep waking up, just keep fighting. Love you all.
Something I'd like to bring up in relation to the whole topic of mental health at least is that there's actually a lot of benefits in both your mental and physical health by getting some exercise in at least everyday. Nothing crazy like some ultra hardcore bodybuilder weightlifting regimen mind you, but even something as simple as a 30 minute walk can do wonders for both physical health as well as mental. Hell (as I attempt to steer my topics back to the subject of the video,lol), I'd argue that playing Persona 5 in your spare time throughout the day on top of the daily dose of exercise and just generally taking care of yourself can do nothing but good in the long run.
Then again what do I know, I'm just some random goober on the internet, lol.
I’m glad I saw this comment cause 1) I’m so happy you’re feeling better! 2) This proves that video games aren’t just mindless time wasters for everyone, they can help in surprising ways. Persona 5 is such a great game! It’s one of the only games I’ve completed 100% of the trophies.
@@crimsonwizahd2358 homie was just saying this game helped them process their own trauma and helped with their mental state, i dont think unsolicited advice on how to help was really necessary ijs homie found this game to helpful just leave it at that

Persona 5 royal was literally the best game I have ever seen. My brother and I bonded through his play through, which I never missed an hour of. The music is incredible, the plot and character development is priceless, and the ending cutscenes will make you suicidal because this game is so incredibly amazing. UGH THE CREDITS MUSIC MAKES ME SO DEPRESSED WHY
Facts
Once I finished the game for the first time and keep in mind PSR was the first time I played persona 5, I literally got depressed and didn’t know what to do with my life anymore.
BUT THENNNN I found out that strikers just came out and add never been happier.
Post persona depression. Currently penduling between coping with it by replaying p5 and maxing out all confidants (and dating sumire) and coping with it by replaying p3fes for the first time in a decade. P3 is a very important game, to me and I don't remember much but the emotions felt so it's a bit of a frightening prospect.
Riyuji: Good boy.
Yusuke: Lovely boy.
Protag: Bad boy.
Morgana: And ACTUAL BOY!
Of course he’s a boy. His persona Zorro is male. The only exceptions are wild cards like Makoto (P3), Yu (P4), and Akira/Ren (P5).
@@kassimasinia3314 Yeah.
And he also SAYS it in the game.
@@kassimasinia3314 There's actually a few more examples of differing gender in the Persona games.
In Persona 1, Brown had a female for his initial Persona.
In Persona 2, Yuka's Ultimate Persona, Freyr, is a male Norse God.

In Persona 4, all of Naoto's Personas are male.

Important tips for your first time playing Royal:
Try to max out Ryuji. The skill you get from him makes the game a lot easier.
Guns are a lot more useful here than in vanilla. Still not the best way to deal damage, but now more a viable option.
The Reaper trick that buns noted here is not in Royal. Don't go in expecting to be able to cheese it.
There are a few characters not in this video, that are in royal. Youll notice them cause they're story important too.. Try to max them out, as they are what make Royal what it is. Just trust me on this.
i played og persona 5 ages ago and only recently started royal and guys PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAX OUT MARUKI BC THERE IS A TIME LIMIT I WAS UNAWARE OF🙏🙏 i didnt and now im speedrunning the game all over again bc i didnt get royal’s true ending and unfortunately did not have a save file i could just go back to 😐😐😐

wanna know something about legality? tell them that, based on the days of the week in p5, joker and nanako are the same age. then tell them that futaba is younger than nanako. then tell them that joker was born during persona 3. all of these statements are true.
lol i hated the reaper in persona 3. it scared the shit out of me the first time i played it and you hear chains and futa says "be careful, i sense death!" and you basically have to run for your life to the stairs and hope it doesn't catch you or hope to god you have a goho-m. and then they make a way to beat it easily in P5 and i'm caught between jumping for joy and screaming in rage.

Literally ANYONE can have useful perks to contribute. Kawakami can pass time for you while you're doing your Phantom Thievery, Futaba can help you navigate Mementos and give your party a Masukukaja buff, Ichiko helps you stay in Palaces longer, and Sojiro allows you to make SP-restoring items that are a HUGE help!
Edit: Futaba doesn't just cast Masukukaja. She can apply a wide range of buffs, and heal or restore a fraction of HP or SP to your party.

Persona 5: Dancing All Night PLEASE.
Some tips I wanted to give for Persona 5.
1. Swift Strike is a skill you can get at, last I checked, level 19 at the earliest and, due to how the damage formula works, it's on par with end game skills. It's absolutely overpowered for when you get it. Take it and abuse it. Even against a single target, use Swift Strike. Just do it. Only don't use it if they resist, null, drain, or repel physical.
2. Bless and curse are the most important elements for Joker to carry on him. Try to always have them. Just to be clear, I mean the damaging ones, not the instant-kills. You should probably try to keep all the magic elements anyway, but at least other thieves can do the others. Bless and Curse are for Joker.
3. Hold on to Rakunda. The core party members get all the buffs and every other debuff (Morgana has Sukunda, Ryuji has Tarukaja, Ann has Tarunda, Yusuke has Sukukaja, Makoto has Rakukaja, and Haru has... Heat Riser and karns, I guess) but no one can debuff defense. Feel free to replace it with Debilitate when you can, but otherwise, this should be treated as essentially Joker's buff move.
4. For the different elements and, um, gun, there are boost and amp skills. Those are invaluable. Use them always.
5. Don't bother with single target kajas. They're the best you'll have for a bit (Ryuji buffing Joker is nice), but replace it with its Ma counterpart ASAP. Debuffs are more arguable if you want to save on SP, but I'd use the Ma versions of those also.
6. While Debilitate is awesome, Heat Riser isn't. Heat Riser only applies to 1 of your 4 party member, and even then, only for 3 turns. It's significantly worse than Luster Candy in the main SMT games. Only ever use this on Joker, but I'd recommend sticking to the Ma-kajas.
7. Buy the most expensive fertilizer you can. Feeding your plant is a free action, and getting free kindness is always worth it.
8. Try to always secure an infiltration route for palaces in a single day. You don't want to waste time. That's time you could be using towards confidants.
9. Look up the social stat requirements and try to anticipate when one of your confidants will hit a brick wall
10. A lot of passive skills are really awesome. Some of the ones that I'd recommend are resists or higher for elements, Arms and/or Spell Master, Victory Cry, etc.
11. No, not everyone does damage evenly. Ryuji and Ann are massive hitters, but Haru and, to a lesser extent, Yusuke also hit pretty hard. Morgana and Makoto are support. Bring along one, and only one, of those two at a time, making sure to switch them out when one gets tired. If you plan on beating a palace in a single day, especially early on, you'll probably go through both their SP pools.
12. If you want to grind as hard as possible, go to Momentos during flu season when you unlocked the ability to run away from fights instantly from the Star confidant. Wait around until the Reaper shows up. Fight it. It can sometimes get despair from the flu season, which will kill it for free and give you massive amounts of experience as if you actually fought it. If it doesn't have despair, just run away. It will mess you up. Don't fight fair.
13. Physical and Gun use your health instead of your SP. Let me tell you right now, this is a MASSIVE advantage. It costs way less to spam physical moves and occasionally heal them than it takes to spam magic. Ryuji, Yusuke, and Haru make SP management more efficient because they don't really need SP to be effective, just health. It also helps that HP restoring items are all over the place, but SP ones are way more rare until you get far enough for Coffee/Curry, vegetables, or adhesives to be a factor.
Edit: Hey, some more tips I'm adding here that I think might he helpful.
14. Severe spells (meaning the spells above -dyne) are not worth it. On Makoto, Atomic Flare is a complete joke, since she should be using her SP for support. For Ann, Blazing Hell still burns through her SP incredibly quickly for only a marginal damage increase over Maragidyne. Just stick to -dynes. Note that the severes may be usable in specific situations in Royal (ex: a Black Frost with Spell Master would spend only 12 SP for Ice Age, so knock yourself out), but otherwise, stick with Dynes.
15. Divine Judgement and Demonic Decree are the two worst skills in the game. Don't be fooled by their end-game only availability or cool animations. Divine Judgement and Demonic Decree are skills that half the HP of a single foe for 48 SP. They also don't work on bosses. Now, compare this to Hamaon and Mudoon (which are already outcompeted by Kougaon and Eigaon), which have a 50% chance of instant-killing an opponent for 15 SP. Against a normal opponent at full health, both have an expected value of 50% enemy health. Hamaon and Mudoon also can kill enemies, which Divine Judgement and Demonic Decree will NEVER do, Hamaon and Mudoon can have their chance increased with Hama and Mudo boost, and they cost less than a third of what Divine Judgement and Demonic Decree cost.
Thanks for the advice! 😁 I'll take it all into consideration.
HiddenPower Fire swift strike was my saving grace so often and was so fun to use
Once i got siegfried & yoshitsunehe they broke the game, start battle with seigfried auto-mataru then swap out to yoshitsune hassou tobi and bam tadaaa everything is cleared
ALSO GET A REPEL BLESS SKILL FOR THE LAST BIT OF THE GAME
AMEN FOR THIS COMMENT.
Although I will say that on certain enemies, Demonic Decree and Divine Judgement aren't that horrible. Like, in the original game (NOT ROYAL), the skills DO work on the Twins' boss fight. Not to mention, if you're against a normal enemy that you didn't expect to be a hell of a lot stronger than you but you don't wanna run from for the sake of experience or yen, (c'mon, we've all been there, we're greedy bastards who want exp XD) cutting their hp in half is extremely helpful, so as to cut battle time in half as well and also lessen the odds of your party dying off :') So yeah, the 50% eaters aren't that bad, but only on certain enemies. So basically, *don't* just NOT use it. However, _do_ be mindful of when and where you use it, because you never know, it COULD come in handy :3
Just starting the game, never played any other Persona titles.
This is the best intro/beginners' guide I've found so far, hands down.
Much appreciated!

"40 Min?"
*Starts watching*
BEST 40 MINUTES OF MY LIFE
Oh shit I just noticed this video was 40 minutes. My mind registered 30.
let's just see after you play it
Small date spoiler below:
Me watching this before 11/21: Why do you keep hating on Akechi?
Me after 11/21: Oh
7th palace: His rank went from 8 to 10 in an instant. Fuck ;-;
Fuk dat pancake boi
This is a massive spoiler...
@@patex514 Exactly. And the fact that it's something to do with Akechi.
Case closed, this is how your "justice" ends.
God, I fucking get goose bumps from that line.
Spoilers for P5 Strikers:
Ryuji finally gets to say "Fuck"!
It took effing ages
Fr, I'm around 50hrs into p5 and I've heard it once? And I think from the mafia jerk.
And it is glorious.
effing hell man! that motherfricker was tough!
There's only one way to avoid the best girl debate....

But remember the Valentine's day =)
Omg your a genius!

I love how you made the video both comically funny almost as if you're trashing it, but at the same time, shows how much fun and addicting this game can be. I mean, half the things you say sounds ridiculous, but we know it's related to the game. Beans, art, spandex, the TH-cam comment section, people bursting into flames because of *EMOTIONS*, injecting coffee straight into your eyeballs, being screamed at to go to bed at gunpoint, loving and supporting correctional officers, sushi, pancakes, RED and some stuff that ♪ you'll never see it comiiiing~ ♪
StarBlade Buster lol
A warm welcome to the smash players who've never played this slice of fried gold here.
Im disappointed at atlus
*Rumours Intensifies*
Yo.
ikr?
I literally just bought a PS4 for this awesome work of art. And I won't lie, Smash was a big reason behind that choice.
I've found that the best dream team is Ryuji, Yusuke, and Mona. Because Ryuji and Yusuke use their HP to do more damage with melee attacks, and Mona can heal, that saves a LOT more SP for Joker, which also helps you go longer without needing to leave and come back. Plus, Joker can just fuse personas for every missing element type. So the heavy physical hitters that don't use up your SP are very useful for clearing out dungeons.
"If you think your close to the end your not" super butter buns 2017
No but seriously I thought the game was about to end like 4 times and even when I got to the point where I knew for sure this time it was all going to be over and I could have my life back the game was still like HAHAHAHA WAIT FOR ANOTHER HOUR AND A HALF OF DENOUMENT BUDDY.
Buns wasn't joking.
Tristan de Robillard that's what I was thinking!
“Your tax dollars at work,” will never NOT make me laugh
Okay, real talk:
I've watched this whole thing a couple times before getting the game, and I chuckled at the jokes.
I've since played the game past the first Palace and I'm laughing towards a coughing fit and I'm not even 6 minutes in.
Context *really* brings SBB's humor to a new level, y'all.
Yeti or Not I feel the same way!
Remember:akechi loves him some pancakes
That's how jokes work though...
@@heisenberg8460 God everyone keeps joking about Akechi

@@AutumnDusk_ shibuya?
@@AutumnDusk_ you're welcome.
I felt like the final palace was pretty obvious after that buffet scene. I mean, the guy in that scene and the guy from the flashback look really similar. After that scene, it didn’t take even 30 seconds to figure out who our final boss was. The one I didn’t see coming was the 6th palace, whose owner got spoiled for me by TH-cam recommendations of all things.

Couldn't Have Said It Better Myself
Thank you
31:08 cries in saved over the backup save and has to do the entire game again
I bought this game yesterday afternoon and I came home and thought i'd just try it out a bit before I do something else. And then it was 2am and I was still playing >_<
My first JRPG too! This video has been a lot of help.
I found myself doing it a lot.....o.o
Just bought it 2 days ago jeez haven’t even started it yet
Clarence Dass It's one of the best JRPG series. If you like this you will probably like Persona 3 and 4 ( 1 and 2 are pretty different). Or maybe the Trails of Cold Steel games.
Clarence Dass welcome to the jrpg brotherhood.
This video made me play Persona 5.
Best $27 spent
For the beginners, level up the Temperance and Wheel of Fortune confidants!
Temperance gives you more time, and Wheel of Fortune will increase the effectiveness of things you do (either building personal stats or confidant relationships).
I don’t think anyone realises how much I love this video and that’s I come back to it every couple months. SBB makes some class content ✌️
The way she simplifies everything in the game is just so beautiful.
Goldenglare_thewindeater I bought this game because of this video and I'm loving every second of it. I would have been quite lost if it weren't for this video!
RYUJI REALLY IS A GOOD BOY
RYUJI DA BEST
Mikan Tsumiki RYUJI IS A PERFECT BEAN WHO MUST BE PROTECTED FROM ALL EVIL
Random Person yep
Wanted to smack him during September of the game but lmao he is good boy

"When you think you're near the end, YOU'RE NOT"
I felt this hard in P5R because I thought I was almost done and gave myself a goal to finish it in maybe six hours at the most.
14.5 hours later:
/confused and agonized screaming/
How are you now?
Lemme guess. Ginza Line?
Istg both the base ending and third semester feel like they're about to end 15 times before they actually do
6 years later I’m finally getting into this game and almost completed the 2nd palace, I’m hooked!
"never going to do a video this long again" - her latest video is 50 minutes on breath of the wild. Going to watch that next.

Lets list all the reasons why Persona 5 is rated M okay!

Rated M for Mudoon why are you so useless

As someone who knows nothing about Persona, I shall assume Persona is just Jojo's Bizarre Adventure but as a high school anime and with psychological trauma and deicide.
@Awsumsaus1412 • The joke is, in Jojo, only certain people have powers, and the powers manifest themselves in different forms, like Personas do. And, these powers in Jojo can only be seen by people who also have powers. Like Personas.
*shakes stick* back in my day we didn't h a v e these P e r s o n a s, we dealt with our psychological trauma through unhealthy coping mechanisms and we LIKED IT
@@hatsymeek20 back in my day we used to fight ancient immortal vampire gods of fitness with magical sunlight breathing powers and when they were too powerful for us to kill them with said magical sunlight breathing powers we just dragged them into a volcano and if they survived the volcano we would amplify the volcano's eruption through a magic red stone to send them to space where they would be frozen forever with no way back to earth
yeah basically
Just wait till you find out about Persona 4, or as I like to call it, Gold is Unbreakable
Persona 5 Royal is great. Kasumi is very likable. Morgana doesn’t force you to go to sleep anymore, the new music is great, Justine and Caroline’s new assignments are hilarious, and it’s actually possible to max out every confidant on your first play through.
eh there is still parts where ur not realy allowed to do anything but go to bed and sleep xD
@@yourik.1260 still not as much as in original tho.
@@moncay3238 fair i guess
This...this is just...wow. Why have I ignored these "[title here] FOR BEGINNERS" videos (and by extension, this channel) for so long? I didn't know at all what I was missing out on.
Well, time to subscribe and begin the binge-watch...
