Is the arcade games still the most efficient social stats gain?

[Ton]

They only show 2 music node instead of 3

[Kaserdan]

kinda want to know this as well.

3000 for the zombie arcade game for 2 notes (courage)
1000 for the burger for 2 notes too (courage)

at another joint you pay like 690? for food for 2 notes (academics)
at the shrine, if you donate 1000, you get 2 notes (academics)
and if you donate 10,000, you also get 2 notes (academics)

if it's more than that, they should have shown 3 notes like we see over the head of social links sometimes

Yeah Im kind of worried there might be a weird issue in terms of the way social stats are gained/displayed. I've never seen more than two blips for any stat, which seems really really weird. Like Kaserdan said, there's a 690 food choice you can buy from one of the diners that boosts Knowledge by two. On certain days, they have a special menu item for 960 that...also raises Knowledge by two? What's even the point if they were intended to give you the same amount? The tutorial for group studying mentions that you can learn more efficiently than you can by yourself, but they also only give two points, movies give you two points, software for the shared PC gives two, The quiz game at the arcade also gives you two. No idea what's going on.

I guess it's possible that everything is working as intended and these are just the numbers they went with? Maybe they realized that maxing all the social stats was too easy and nerfed a lot of the options last-minute. I'm still in May and all my social stats are level 3, I got 1st place on the exams pretty easy.

I definitely had 3 notes after the last group study in May. The one with "beef. Beef. BEEF!"

In terms of gains yeah
in terms of cost per gains not rly

Couple places had been added to Iwadoai Mall - they give the same amount of notes as arcades and are cheaper but not every place is availablea all the time.

Group studies available before exams give the most note (3). Not every instance of them but usually the last one just before exams (when there's entire cast present).

Arcade gives more than the eatery at Iwatodai even though both show 2 notes.
I checked it by running both until I got a level up. Arcade gave me a level up in less uses.
