Ryuji straddles a fine line between "asshole" and "charming." He gets a little pervy, but I think he has genuine chemistry with Ann, and I wish the game would let me play matchmaker with them. Having party members romance each other could be a great addition to the series, honestly.

The gifts don't make sense to me, partly because the labels for some of them aren't clear (like the albums). The only one I understand is that Kawakami wants expensive items.

Yeah, that's always an issue in games. Mishima and Mikoto are the two easiest ones to figure out, as neither one of them responds well to teasing.

As someone else pointed out earlier, Morgana belittles Ryuji from pretty much the instant they meet.

I feel like most of the time it's a choice of three things that you might realistically say to a friend, but their personalities determine which option is best. Ryujii likes to be teased a bit, for instance, but Mishima wants unequivocal support and affirmation. You're always a friend, it's just that in order to max…

You can block out spoilers by using the "spoiler" tag. So us [spoiler], but replace the brackets with carats. And you can end it with [/spoiler], again by replacing the brackets with carats.

I've been making coffee myself so that I can improve my relationship with Sojiro at the same time, but I probably do need to have Kawakami do more for me on that end.

Persona's combat system makes SP extraordinarily valuable and important, but man, there are some nice accessories. Giving Yusuke a +10 STR accessory has really pumped him up.

And coffee and curry is really nice, even if the bandages might be overall better.

As far as I can tell, your vendetta against Morgana boils down to not finding him annoying enough.

I just don't understand how you can say this when the typical mascot character is just a variant of Scooby-Doo.

She is such an unprofessional teacher.

Question: I maxed out my bond with Mishima and the game said I could now fuse the most powerful Moon shadow, Sandelphon. But how do I actually do that? I haven't seen any option for it in the Velvet Room.

*sigh* I had a good theory going there…

Wait, so you have to restart your social links from level 1? Ugh. That's dispiriting. I was hoping that the worst case scenario was that you had to rewatch their scenes but you kept your levels, so if you were diligent you could max out every character by the end of the NG+ playthrough.

Question for everyone: How does New Game+ work in Persona 5? Do you keep your bond levels with your confidants? Do you keep the levels but have to re-progress through their story? Do you revert to level 1?

Yeah, I spent a small fortune buffing up my Charm so I could continue bonding with Sojiro.

As far as I know, Persona 5 doesn't have The World arcana, and a world-weary drag queen might be a good fit. From Wikipedia:

Must be, because she wasn't even on the trip with me. If I remember correctly, I think I even got a text from her before the trip wishing me a good time while I was away.

But if we assume that a Persona 5 Golden isn't going to remove content, she'd need something new.
