    To add some other stuff (this is a great list btw) here's what I'd say:
    1. Don't stress, but be efficient with your time. This is kind of touched on in the video, but try to make sure you are deliberate and judicious with how you spend your limited time. Try to always be doing *something*, whether it's advancing a social link, increasing your social stats, or working at jobs. It helps that these often all overlap, but eventually you'll get a feel for people's schedules. Be absolutely sure to not waste the time you're given, and try to clear dungeons in as few days as possible, ideally just one if you can manage, but that is harder with your more limited SP early in the game. I haven't played P5(R) yet, but from what I've heard that game is much more forgiving with its Social Links. On the other hand, however, don't worry too much about it, especially if it's your first playthrough. It's not Persona 3, which is really tough to complete 100% without a guide, the game still gives you a lot to work with, so just relax, bring matching arcana Personas, and enjoy the good vibes of Inaba. If you miss out on the last few Social Links, there's always New Game Plus, or a second playthrough with a guide.
    2. Be aware of what activities do and do not use time slots. The Vox Populi system is a good way to show what does pass time, but it's useful to know what things *don't* use a time slot: Shopping, doing anything in the Velvet Room, accepting or completing quests, including the ones for the Hermit Social Link (though be advised that reporting the completion of the Hermit quests to the Hermit link themselves *does* use a time slot), catching bugs, planting or harvesting vegetables from the garden (though not tending to them, which does), and advancing the Empress Social Link.
    3. Some Social Links don't work the way others do. Some of them auto-advance, which you'll find out over the course of the playthrough. I'd point out the Death social link which works in a very unusual way. If you've played Persona 3, it works the same way as that game's Sun link, where it's only available at specific, regular times but will always rank up every time you spend time with them, regardless of your Personas or the dialogue options, though a couple of the ranks require a bit of extra legwork, but it's pretty trivial and don't require any uses of time slots to do. Also, be advised that some Social Links won't start until you've done a few ranks of a different one.
    4. If you pay attention to leveling them at all I don't think you'll have too much trouble advancing your social stats. My only recommendation would probably be that Expression is a good one to start with, since the upper levels of two fairly early Social Links are gated behind pretty high Expression levels. Also, the books that allow you to gain more of a stat at any given time are great investments and you should read them. Some Social Links and all part-time jobs also raise your social stats, which is quite handy for doing multiple things at once.
    5. Always be fusing. Fusion should be the primary way your power the Protagonist's battle abilities up, and you should be fusing Personas regularly. The Protagonist's Personas level up very slowly and will stop learning new moves after a while. Fusion provides a big power boost, especially once you've got yourself a few Social Link ranks in, and can snowball pretty easily. Even besides that, though, Fused Personas will have a much larger and more customizable movepool than the ones you'll get via Shuffle Time, meaning that even if they're lower leveled their versatility means they'll be your primary combat tools and see by far the heaviest use. The Shuffle Time Personas are mostly there to be used as components for your fusions as soon as you can get to the Velvet Room. If you're worried about losing a Persona you're particularly fond of or attached to, it'll always be there in the Compendium, as long as you can pay the fee. (Sidenote: Don't forget to register leveled-up Personas in the Compendium!)
    6. Some generic battle stuff: This isn't the mainline SMT games where it's a matter of life and death, but buffs and debuffs are hugely important and can easily tip the scales in a tough fight. Don't ignore them, and they are immensely useful skills to have on any Persona. The full-party and automatic variants are even better, especially lategame when you unlock the beauty that is the automatic full-party variants, which instantly makes a Persona infinitely better if it has even one of those skills. Be mindful of your SP consumption, particularly in the early game when your SP supply is very limited. It's less of a big deal later on as you get more SP to work with, more SP recovery items, and possibly bonuses from the Hermit Social Link, but still be careful with it. Physical attacks are very useful for dealing heavy damage without spending SP, with the added bonus that many physical-based Personas have resistance or immunity to Physical attacks themselves, which is an immensely handy thing to have.
    7. Party composition. There's no leaked experience, so (unfortunately, IMO) you'll probably end up having to pick a group of three that you like and roll with it through the rest of the game, though new party members tend to be scaled so they're immediately useful after you get them. Besides that, all of the party members are useful in their own way, so use who you feel like, as long as you have a team with broad elemental coverage.
    8. Rainy days: On rainy days, almost all social links will be unavailable, so it's a good idea to save the ones that are available on rainy days (specifically thinking of Hermit, though its also true of Sun, though idk if there's enough rainy days to max out both of them while only doing them then, will need to check). Rainy days also give you the Mega Beef Bowl Challenge, which will raise three of your social stats at random for 3000 Yen, which is a great deal, access to the capsule machines outside Shiroku Store (which will use a time slot, and I generally find it to be kind of a waste tbh since you can just buy most of the prizes at the store, which will *not* use a time slot), causes bigger/better fish to appear for the fishing minigame, and causes stronger monsters that drop better and/or unique loot to spawn in the TV World.
    That's all I've got. Apologies for the wall of text, hope this was helpful to someone, and I hope you enjoy this amazing game :)

    Exactly when should I go again to the tv to get the special weapons and so on? The next day after I defeated Yukiko or wait for the deadline(fog)? I went to the tv the next day and I was able to choose what lvl I want: 1F ( the start) or 8F (The door to the boss was locked - there is the special weapon?). So I just need to find the key in the castle, right? Am I doing it corretly?

    • @GamingGanon

    I got this as soon as I found out it was on Steam, as I’d wanted to play it ever since I saw Giantbomb stream it like ten years ago.
    One of the very first videos like this one that I watched, a tip video not a story video on another channel, someone in the comments just blasted out who the killer was, intentionally.
    They were literally like “the story sucks, it’s so obvious that X” (x=the big plot spoiler)
    Fucking dick
    I put the game aside for several months, hoping I’d have forgotten by the time I came back to it.
    No such luck. I remembered the instant it became possible to be reminded.

    @PhillyCh3zSt3ak 4 роки тому +3

    For the planning ahead, I would also put "metagaming" into that as well. This being planning outside of the game. What I mean by this is maybe checking the Wiki to see what monsters in the next area are leveled at to establish whether I should go back to a previous area and grind out some exp before heading into the new area or jumping in headfirst. Of course, if you're completely new I'd be wary of the SMT wiki's summary of each dungeon and just jump straight to the monsters. It's cheating, yeah, but also planning to figure out the best way to address each encounter as well as guessing weaknesses are never fun when you have a limited SP pool.
    Another tip, especially since there's a difference between P4 and P5 is that there are no save rooms like there are in P5 and warping to different floors is... different in the way it operates; and unlike P4 you can't use the save point at the top of the dungeon before the boss to hop out, go back to Igor, do some persona fusing and management and then jump back and do some power leveling. You're going to want to have at least a handful of Goh-Om (the item that allows you to jump out of the dungeon) on you at all times in case you need to bail on a level and come back later without losing progress and having to start from floor 1 again. This also helps with leveling as well since you can get to a floor in which you can be comfortable in leveling before moving on if need be. The wiki is an invaluable tool for strategizing combat and I'd advise lightly following a guide, mainly seeing who is available on a certain day. For example, one day may seem great for going to the TV but this may lock out an interaction with another character which can advance a social link, so you may want to push it off for one day because of that, and so on. But then there's the blitz method as well to fight your way to the top, bail, grind a bit more to overlevel the boss, then come back later to do some social stuff.
    I've rambled on enough, tl;dr, have fun with the game, look up things if you need to if you get stuck. Also, since there are multiple saves, make multiple save files. Once when a person going missing and then utilize another save file for all your stuff just in case you need to revert and you don't get yourself stuck in a corner.

      Any advice for the fusion in the early or middle parts of the game? I am coming over from Devil Survivor which makes it easy to know how to fuse for a specific demon with the moves you want. In this game it just seems like you have to google a guide for every individual creature if you want to know how to fuse for it or get certain moves. And I really don't want to waste time on that if at all possible.

My opinions thus far are basically the same. Its a really great game for sure but I just dotn get the same feelings i did when i played p5r. There are good games, excellent games, and near perfect games. If P5R is a near perfect game for me, P4G is an excellent game. But again I haven’t finished it, but at this little over halfway mark in royal i was already convinced it was my favorite game of all time.

    good tips but quality control is important, steam popping up, cursor on the screen, MIC QUALITY is all important for videos. Your mic especially its hard to hear what you are saying because of your accent and the intense echo your mic puts out because of your recording space. It sounds like you are speaking in an auditorium.
