Yep, i decided to pass about the combat and dungeons and just go for the story/reading/confidants etc part of the game, i let the AI do all in combat and focus all in combat while getting exp and money like crazy😹 while enjoying the part that i really wanted, the story
Trying this after 5 really showcases how better this game was in terms of item drops. I got SO MANY SP items in the first dungeon that SP was never an issue like it can be early game in P5. It blows my mind they almost entirely removed SP items from 5 compared to 4. I know you can get the item that gives SP every turn but wow, so much more content in 4 in a lot of areas.
