spend the rest of the day w/ marie or go into tv on 4/18

[Chief Keef]

when i check what other people have done, its like a 50/50 between the two. What do I pick?

It is best to do the tv either immediately or on a rainy day. Doing it immediately opens up party member social links for the remaining investigation time, so you can begin on Yosuke and Chie. Going on a rainy day means you often don't have other social links to do (there are some that happen on rainy days) and can run into rainy day enemies. However, first dungeon has no rain enemies.

Personally, I did the dungeon immediately. The party members have additional perks alongside the fusion exp, so they are good to increase. School social links can also be increased with good tests, so I like to do them until they would require extra time to reach the next rank which I can gain through a good test.

Marie can be accessed every day in December, so it is pretty difficult to miss her even if you wait until the last second. I'd hang out with her occasionally anyway to be sure. You want to finish her before the end for the golden ending.

Not really at all. Spending time with Marie will raise her social link. She is a character that was added in the golden version, and there is a special ending and extra content unlocked by maxing her link before the end of December. So long as you max it by then, whether romantically or not, you will get the extra content.

though to do her social link during December you might have to wait for the last minute; Because if you try to beat the dungeon early on time speeds up to the end of December.

i just wanna have the best experience playing the game, so i asked you guys what i should do to achieve that

[Tiasmoon]

Use the ''what did others do'' option to be reminded of the stuff you can do, not as a guideline to what you should do.

4/18 is probably the first date you can go with Marie, so thats why a lot of people picked that option. There's lots of time to do her S-link later on tho. I've left it at Rank 1 so far and im in July now.

The best experience is making up your own mind on what to do each day not ruining every detail of the game with a min max play order

The best experience is basically to not follow a guide and make your own decisions. But it is fine, as what seems to be a new player, to ask others about some things early on and understand what your decisions mean. If you wants to hang out with your team but put the dungeon off until last second, you would probably be wondering why they are never available. Somebody who doesn't know may also ignore Marie entirely and miss out on some great content at the end.

I also did forget to give the advice someone else gave to save December dungeon for last second. Persona games do like to fast forward time on some dungeons for story reasons or they are the last dungeon in the game. So save that one for the last day.

Go into the TV when it's raining. Soon you'll be able to complete the dungeons in one go btw, I like to complete the day after it's unlocked.

[mimizukari]

Do what you want. Just know if you clear the dungeons you get a bunch of free days to do non-dungeon related stuff, up to the point where the fog would've naturally appeared, and then usually a little bit of free time after before next dungeon. So really, do whatever you want, but getting a dungeon out of the way doesn't timeskip the story or anything like that, but social links are also important for harder dungeons.

Its fine to ask questions if you prefer that but without being a ♥♥♥♥, theres a lot of stuff in this game that ties into its themes that while it'll totally catch you off guard on your first run, its cool to see fully blind.

But anyway since you're asking all I'll say is rush to finish dungeons ASAP to be free to spend time on S. Links, the only one that actually unlocks content is Marie's so try get that done before december (its deadline).

Apart from that have fun, remember you can press select or whatever it was to see what others did the same day if you're unsure, and if you get a bad ending (which if you go blind you prob will), dont worry since the game's bad endings are designed to be ones you get and then just keep playing on after.

And also, on the very last day, when the game asks do you want to go back home, say no and head back to Junes food court. Thank me later. Enjoy the game.
