Does this game have Palaces and mementos as well?

[Zplayer96]

what are the grinding methods in this game? will we go into the metaverse to change the hearts of adults in this game too?

[Ayon]

Read the description of the game lol

[brisabella]

Persona 4's concept is a little different from Persona 5's...
I reccomend checking how that works ingame or on youtube, because i don't want to give potential spoilers

[mdesaleah]

There are "palaces" but they work more like Mementos. You'll see it when you buy it

[MarcusBWFC]

no

remember futabas palace? its that but for the entire game. people confronting their shadows

This game is different from P5, you can only grind when you travel throughout the dungeons. You don't change hearts, you save people.

[Riverstyx]

Yes and no. Each arc has its own dungeon based on the character that arc is focused on, like the palaces. The actual layout of those dungeons is procedurally generated like Mementos. You can return to them at any time, and there's the occasional optional sidequest to kill an extra boss in those dungeons, as a way to get some extra loot (and to encourage you to level grind because some of them are very difficult)

Not really. The first few sure, but that quickly changes for the last set of "palaces"

[Scorpix]

Persona 4 dungeons = Mementos + Palace

[Pootis17]

The entrance shadow lair is black and red it was either foreshadowing of the metaverse or final lair (not the secret true)

[dognote15]

No, they are just dungeons that are formed by rejected emotions
Palaces are were made to fit into the theme of P5 of being thieves
And mementos is just the place where Yaldabaoth resides so it is only In P5 however you do have similar concept in Persona 3 with Tartarus but in P4 you only have dungeons

[DivineLion]

persona 3 and 4 share literally the same dungeon progression wise and how it gets its personas.

[miniyi]

persona 5 explain how cognitive work in persona series, while persona 4 are alot more "it just there cause it need to be"

[Tiresias - The Blind Lucario]

So you know how in P5 the main antagonists of the palaces are Shadow Selves?
This is the game that introduces them. Although instead of being total effing monsters, the Shadow Selves in this game are of the protagonists, and are mostly just misunderstood emotions being let free.
As for the Palaces, I suppose you could say that each dungeon in the game is kinda like a palace, but not particularly. Each dungeon is how the victim sees their world, but instead of being focused around themselves, they're usually the result of the victim being abused in some way by society.
As for Mementos, there is no "palace of the masses" like Mementos, but each dungeon is not only randomly generated, they don't collapse at the end and you can go explore them any time you wish.

TL;DR - Yes and no, P5 expanded on a lot of the concepts in P4, but the palaces are not truly palaces and there is no Mementos.

If you want a 'main' dungeon like Mementos, I would highly recommend you check out Persona 3 :) Persona 4's dungeons are more like Futaba's story for the entire game. You grind while going through the dungeon, and can do so while the dungeon is still active :) I hope you have a lot of fun playing through P4 though, as it's a great game too!

I won't spoil anything but if you get the true ending you'll find out that it's not there "just because".
