You can't rest at rest spots?

[Holyblades]

This seems like horrible game design. Am I missing something here? What if you are flat out of money and items in a dungeon?

[REBirthTheEdge]

This is hardcore design from SMT.

The rest point is just for saving.

If you run out of resources, backtrack to town to buy back.

I really do hope they keep this design mindset for the rest of the games do.

[Brian9824]

Yeah its just a stopping point for saving. Part of the game is planning the dungeon dives and getting geared up for it. There are lots of tricks in these games to extend it like the hero effect that restores 1mp every time you auto kill an enemy without going into battle. That is a great way to heal up, do a few laps early game and get back MP for healing to save your items for tougher fights

[JCKLNTRN]

It's just a save point. If you are running low on MP you are meant to either go back to town and come back another day, or use restorative items.

They're trying to stop you from finishing the dungeon in a single day by restricting your MP. You must embrace your inner brawler to show them.

Just use magician passive on MC and farm enemies. Every insta kill from weaker enemies restores 1mp to entire party.

Agreed. If you go through the skills of some of the different Archetypes, they do have skills that can aid in recovery in the dungeons. Plus, from what I know of Persona and SMT games, you'll gain skills with the bonds your form and nurture that'll aid you in your journey. After all, 'Its dangerous to go alone'

[Gennesis]

Use mage to recover mp hit weak enemies outside the battle .

[xgc1986]

Ok, do you expect to be in an enemy building and have a place where you can recover?

Do not worry, it's your first time. You'll learn to enjoy it or abandon the game.

(Hard Mode)

Like Persona, the game is design for you go in the dungeon multiple times not in 1 run. Is it possible to do it 1 run, possibly? i made it through the whole dungeon until the demo ended my run. Properly geared, buy and switch around archetypes, plan you battles better, use your resources less, ambush all if not most your fights (bait and strike), and get familiar with Reset battle.

Seems very possible to do single runs, dont let it bother you if you cant. A Poor Persona run only just helps you to complete the social links you missed New Game+, but you are still capable of completing the game. Unless your a completionist dont worry about day management. If its like persona, If you mess up beyond belief and miss the deadline the game will game over you and send you back a couple days to plan better.

In persona 5 atleast, you can get special items that work ONLY in rest areas to provide you HP and SP. So wait for the full game, it'll prolly become a mechanic
