But I just can’t help but feel that we could have gotten a bit more. For the most part, these remasters are completely sufficient ways to play these two JRPG classics. Both are some of the greatest examples of how a spin-off can become its own incredible thing, as these were the peak of the entire Persona franchise.

That's all I can think of, I hope this helps even one new player and I also hope that others can chime in with their own tips.When I heard that both Persona 3 and Persona 4, I was ecstatic. Buffing your party and/or debuffing enemies can mean the difference between victory or a party wipe. From the Bathhouse dungeon and beyond, the game will do its best to make sure you're aware of how good they can be. Most first-time players (including myself) fell into a trap of simply brute-forcing through the first few dungeons because it was easy and because RPGs tend to have a stigma of status de/buffs not being useful.

You will quickly find that the game becomes much harder if you stick with that Lvl.13 Slime rather than fuse it to create something better (apologies to any Slime fans). It can be easy to bond with a Persona that you've been using a bunch, but Persona are made to be fused (ESPECIALLY the early game ones).

Do also try to plan your dungeon days around rainy days as well, for bigger gains. Several of the early dungeons, even in a first-run, should only take maybe 3 days max to complete. It gives you more time to develop S.Links or improve your Social Qualities, which pay off in the long run. There's maybe one or two cases where it's actually better to prolong going to a dungeon, but in general it's wiser to get it done ASAP. Speaking of completing dungeons, the earlier you clear them the better. There's plenty of save slots, so use them! Sometimes you may screw something up, and it might end up biting you in the ass because you can't get that time back. You have a finite number of in-game days to complete a dungeon, and even less time to fit in all the extracurriculars you could be doing to gain more S.Links. I urge others to add to this or offer a second opinion as well, since this shouldn't be taken as gospel but more of a 'hey just in case.' I've also tries to keep the tips spoiler-free and not too 'hand-holdy.' Also I kept putting this off but I have some helpful tips for anyone who may be playing this for the first time.
