Speaking of which, not all items carry over into NG+, and that unfortunately includes unwashed laundry. Also lost are treasure (annoying since I had a massive stack I forgot to sell) and materials (so it'll be a while until I can craft another eternal lockpick, since those don't carry over either.) But since all weapons, armour, and accessories do make the transition, you'll probably have far stronger gear than anything you'll find in a locked chest anyway, at least for quite a while.

All the items you get from S-Links carry over and usually unlock stuff early. I think. Though I'm guessing you need to at least restart the associated links first. So you won't get all fusion types from Strength right away. I haven't really tested this yet. Also, either the Christmas present or V-Day present from romantic S-Links give you better stuff for those links in NG+. But I dated Futaba so it'll be ages until I see how the effects work for myself.

Not really a spoiler, but
Spoiler :
My Rank 4 Proficiency wasn't enough to dodge the first piece of chalk that gets thrown at you.

That's pretty crazy. Good thing I have max proficiency, I guess.

I think you do need to restart the S-Link, though. I haven't started the twins S-Link yet, so I only have access to basic fusion, despite having their key item.

That's weird re: the chalk. I also had rank 4 during the times it was thrown and it never hit me.

The first throw might be scripted like that 'cause I also definitely dodged the other pieces with Rank 4.

Figures, all I needed to max Proficiency was one evening making tools. Got it almost immediately on NG+.

Also I was wrong about the laundry not carrying over, I have one piece left. That's what I get for never selling armour in the first run, can't find anything on that list now.

I did dodge the first piece with max proficiency. In my first playthrough, I couldn't dodge the second with 4 proficiency, but I did dodge the third. Wonder what the requirements actually are?

P5 NG+ is pretty chill thanks to all the lategame gear, everything including bosses dies in a couple rounds at most, nothing can really kill you, and SP overflows thanks to the SP accessories, so I probably finished the castle in an hour and now I'm free to chill with people or attempt to hit home runs at the batting cage since all my social stats are maxed.

NG+ spoiler
Spoiler :
You can fight the twins as early as the first trip to Mementos, but I have a feeling they'd curbstomp your ass at that point, so I'm holding off a while. Seems there's a story hook connected to the fight so I'm looking forward to that. Also, it's not a 1-on-2 battle, you can bring your whole crew for this one.

Just started July, and now I have Ann and Sadayo-chan maxed. Almost have Tekemi maxed, too, but I wanna gather a few more Mementos requests before I continue her stuff. Bad news is I just got inundated with night only confidants. Gonna have to decide who to prioritize.

Thankfully I think both Sun and Moon are guaranteed rank-ups on every hangout, so that's a timesaver.

e: I'm pretty sure someone made this just for me

and whatever this is

Oh wow, I wonder why they left that running gag out of P3? I feel like Fuuka had a similar laughing fit when she was using that waist trimmer thing before the beach scene.

I've heard some chatter about unique boost/amp skills that can only be learned via network fusions. Anyone seen those yet?

I haven't, but I haven't done many network fusions. I plan to, once I finally unlock it again.

There are three powerful passives you can only unlock via network fusion, I just forget what they are.

This is from some rando on a message board and I couldn't find an official source, but: almighty amp, almighty boost, magic ability and soul chain.

So, after reading some posts on GameFaqs, I have decided. I'm gonna craft the ultimate lowbie lady personas! I already have a level 33 Pixie with both heavy curse attacks. I'm also working on a super physical Lamia. Leveling her up is harder, though, since I don't have Haru yet. So, with Pixie covering curse and lamia covering physical, what other lovely lowbie ladies should I work on?

Lilim, mainly because I like the slight redesign they gave her this time.
