Not to offer a real answer on a meme video, but you fight Jose because he asks you to, basically. He’s very frustrated by what he views as a plateau in his progress on human research and wants a way to vent his frustration. Joker suggests fighting as a method of doing that, and Jose decides he would like to do that, and then if you aren’t prepared he probably kicks your ass. XD
@@TheRealGoastYT honestly his fight wasn’t terrible, imo, you just have to treat him like an SMT boss and not a persona boss (ie keeping your buffs/debuffs up, being prepared for a battle of attrition rather than just trying to nuke them off the field). He doesn’t have any nonsense like Liz, lmao, just a very strong special attack. He took me a few tries, but it was very doable, and the deaths were all either lack of knowledge (not realizing that was windup for a super move, namely, lol) or bad play. (I will put an asterisk here with “my personas were all in the 90s, my team was running almost all alarm execution equipment, and I was memetic in my friend group for breaking royal’s hardest encounters over my knee”, but I really do stand by my analysis of Jose’s fight as “tough, but nowhere near impossible”.)
