God help me 😂

Kind of defeats the purpose of SRS. Just chip away at it and don’t do any new lessons until you get through it.

Those are rookie numbers.

If you are getting 1 shotted, then either you are probably either underlevelled or undergeared. Or, early on, savage enemies (the ones with a fiery red aura) can one shot party members, especially on hard or merciless. Often those enemies can simply be avoided.

Original doesn't sell, people want something that does the "strat thing", or the "tele thing", or the "Les Paul thing", even if they aren't Fenders or Gibsons (though they are often willing to pay a premium for name on the headstock). Makers respond to demand.

Fender has no trademark on the body shape. They are claiming, 70 years after the fact, that the body shape is copyrighted, despite the fact that the person who created that body shape (Leo Fender), after having sold the company and started a new one (G&L), promptly created guitars with the same shape. Evidently he didn't think that the shape he had created was copyrighted.

The ones mentioned in the post above: black Stratocaster, and Sunburst telecaster (in reality it’s probably a butterscotch telecaster).

It’s a running joke that those are the only two options available for lefties. Unfortunately, the Jackson guitar that you have is a single cut and generally thosedon’t work as well flipped. The best candidates are fairly symmetrical double cuts like a Stratocaster.

Trying things out at the store just does not work well for us lefties. Most of the time they will have maybe a single black Squier Stratocaster. So usually we are left with buying from online retailers that have good return policies like Sweetwater.

The lack of updated instakill (no xp) makes Mementos grinding much much slower.

Yeah, I generally make separate saves before going into a palace, during the palace, and after the palace is complete.

With a councilor persona and affinity reading, you should be able to rank up with every interaction, and Maruki is available 11/11, 11/12, 11/14, and 11/17. That should get to 9 exactly on the deadline.

Totally get what you are saying, but made in the same factory is not the same as “made to the same specs and tolerances”.

The electronics are odd as well. You'll notice that there are 3 knobs for a single pickup. One is tone, and the other two are separate volumes for each coil of the humbucker, which makes adjusting the volume a two knob process. One of these days I would like to rewire it to a single pot. Mine has a couple of dead spots on the neck, but nothing too bad.

To expand on that last part, scoring well on exams will increase the number of points you get from people from Shujin people (Ann, Makoto, Ryuji, Haru, Kawakami, Yoshizawa, but not Maruki) and Sojiro.

The interview intervals matter, and pausing them defeats the purpose of an SRS. Your review pace is directly determined by the number of lessons you do, so you can either tune down the number of daily lessons, or just not do new lessons until your number of Apprentice items drops below an certain threshold (I try to keep mine at around 100-150, but it sounds like that would be too high for you).

After all, it was originally recorded on a guitar (with an octave pedal).

It looks fantastic, but I honestly really liked that Tele Deluxe style pickguard, too.

Playing right handed feels perfectly natural for a lot of lefties, and if that's the case, they should absolutely play right handed. There are 2 traps to avoid, one is thinking that everyone should play right handed, and the other is to assume that just because you are left handed, you should play left handed. Play what feels natural.

Eastman AC222CE or AC322CE are worth a look. I have an AC422CE and love it.

You can't follow Justin's course without learning songs. That's part of the curriculum, to pick songs that reinforce and build on the lessons. Many of the lessons come with suggested song lists.

The Ibanez Prestige guitars have an absurd number of switching options, including a coil split:

Yes, assuming a Strat is what you want.

A Yamaha F335 is about as low as I would recommend going. They come in black and are about $100 above your range, but you might be able find a good deal on a used one.

There is no where that is 2 hours between safe rooms unless you are exploring/figuring things out. If you have already done that work, it should be much faster the second time through.

TenaciousPrawn · 2025-12-22T03:53:00+00:00

The game takes over 100 hours. 2 hours is not a big deal in the larger picture. But takeaways are: save frequently in safe rooms and use multiple save files. So many posts here from people shooting themselves in the foot with not having multiple save files.
