Strength Persona Isnt Advancing into Rank 4

[Gatsu]

So i was following the guide where i went to football practice in 31st May, it said the rank should be up after choosing some option(about daisuke thought on girl) but there's no question to trigger that option and my strength arcana is still in rank 3. I want to unlock path to the moon arcana so was i miss something?

do u have strength persona? start from rank 2 and above you need to have persona of the social links u want to advance for every encounter

The most obvious mistake people make when trying to do the "optimal" runs is not having the corresponding persona while trying to advance arcana. Aside from that, if you are following day-by-day 100% guides, noone can tell what day you made a little mistakeon, and it typically can lead to the whole guided playthrough going to hell :P

Yeah im pretty sure i have strength persona in my deck, but fun fact i didnt need to bring any related persona to rank up for other social links tho, i dont know it is bug or something :/

[Sweet]

there is a possibility the other social links that advanced without persona just happen to have enough "points"

The danger of the guides is that yes, maybe something will happen as the guide says it should, but then you'll find out you are point short in February when trying to advance a link because you didn't have a persona in May. It can be... interesting experience, which is why I never recommend day-by-day guides to anyone who wants to enjoy the game :D

Yeah, exactly that.

I try to tell new players to ignore all the guides they find when they play the game for the first time.

It takes the fun out of the experience and they can also be very frustrating. You have to have your nose buried in the guide constantly, and one mistake can cost you maxing out all your Social Links, though there is significant leeway for cleanup in P4G, you can still make it impossible depending on how big of a mistake you make.

I sometimes wonder about the people who complain about how boring and monotonous the game is. Are they new players who thought they needed to run the game efficiently and quickly, used a day-to-day guide, and suddenly found the game not so enjoyable? Like well no duh, being told what to do on a constant basis, not exploring or experimenting for yourself tends to lead to a negative experience your first time.

Yeah, it kills a lot of the enjoyment. And the way guides are structured, you rarely get to do things in a way you would naturally, be it get close to character you like first, go for this or that story instead, explore TV when you want to. Hell, you won't even really get to know some of the characters, as you'll have to follow astrict path of dialogue and talk to them only on certain days sprinkled throughout the whole year. I would frankly recommend following guides ONLY if you play the game solely because you are insane steam achievements collector OR you already played many times before and are just trying to go for something specific.

Hell, I played through the game like 6 times at this point and tried to go for 100% guide for this release and gave up in May because it just was not fun. It makes you feel more like you are copying a math homework off of someone rather than playing the game.

Point totals and what day S-links are available, Social Stat thresholds etc, are all pretty useful tho. I agree with you guys that day to day guides arent fun, and easy to screw up with.
