    What a gem, thanks for this great guide! Was trying to find guides on specific beginner questions on my mind unable to get them answered or find a proper video guide for them this one pretty much answered anything I had on my mind and even more!
    Just got stuck on the 1st boss and started utilizing the strategies in this guide definitely helped me through it!
    Preferred characters with given immunities, gave my protagonist the given immunity using essences, changed my protagonist to second in rotation after a weakness heavy hitter in the 1st spot to avoid wasting turns (same for a second support in 4th slot focusing mainly on healing and support moves), It's really effective to have the protagonist after a weakness hitter as I can use items to for example charge party MP, switch characters out, use support moves without losing turns

    Well done. I've seen playthroughs of Personas and lets-plays of some SMTs (usually with gamers yelling about how hard they are). I've never had the opportunity to actually PLAY any of them. But being exclusively Switch right now, I may have to pick this up. Your guide makes me really want to bite into it.

    At got around 20 hours in when this game first came out and stopped playing and never finished. I liked the game but it was taking up too much time and I had other games I really wanted to play. I just finished Persona 5 the other day and decided to finally go back and beat this game. But I’m gonna bite the bullet and start from the beginning because I don’t remember and damn thing about where I was or what I was doing at that point in the game. I think I was at the school area with the giant floating head demon flying around killing people. Idk.

    Just got started playing after countless recommendations and found a good deal. It definitely was a little much to take in being my first ever SMT game. I started in Hard difficulty and dam, it’s rough. I’m still on Hard but only in the beginning area still. (desert heading to the Tokyo Tower). This video was great and super helpful thanks a bunch 🙏🏽 I’m toughing it out on Hard for now but if I keep getting wrecked I’ll go down to Normal. Are their any benefits of playing Hard mode? I was worried Normal would be too easy?

    I remember looking up online the benefits of playing on hard mode and everyone said there weren’t any rewards. Either the RNG is weird or maybe I’m crazy, but I personally noticed you get more items after winning and increased odds with certain miracles, along with other minor stuff that didn’t trigger as often on normal

    proc doesnt mean activate, it means ''a chance to activate'', for example you don't proc your magatsuhi bar, you activate it while criticals and ailements can ''proc''.
    Definition: Proc is used as both a noun and a verb to describe whenever a random gaming item activates or a random gaming event occurs.
