Goofy Run Ideas
I'll be going into my 2nd NG+ and I'm wondering what people have been doing to make it more challenging or just plain weird.
Slime only
Zio skills only
Default weapons only
your party can only be Joker and Mona
Sleep Only Run, No Confidanting
No using Personas, passive skills only
Never use a safe room
Joker and mona only run with a slime persona with passive and zio skills only and he can only sleep and never use safe runs or change equipment
At this point I feel like I've done something to offend you! Ahaha!

Granted, this slime only run sounds intriguing as all hell.
Do all confidants and ignore everything else or upgrade social stats and ignore everything else
Arsene only. You also must go out every single night in order to eat a burger.
@Kitagawa what do I do if I don't have money?
Badass Kitagawa
Sell some things so you can afford to get a burger.
Just like real life. This resonates with me.
Date one girl and use one persona
Alternatively: A run where the only other party member is your husbando/waifu. You are not permitted to use anyone else. I call it the "Date Night" run.
I actually did that in P3P male protagonist and P4G but my waifu was Rise so I had to go solo
That actually sounds fun, probably add the extra that you can only use the given husbando/waifu's arcana.
Joker and mona only run with a slime persona with passive and zio skills only and he can only sleep and never use safe runs or change equipment but on Merciless difficulty and also you have to be a dick to Ryuji anytime the game gives you the option to do so
psh...the last one is a given.
Goofy run: name your character Goofy, and voice everyone of his dialogue choices in his voice. Once they are become available, you are only allowed to use personas with dog-esque features (orthus, flauros, cerberus etc) in battle.
countersuggestion to hibiki's mean-to-ryuji suggestion:
Ryuji-only run, it's just you and your bro in the party, no one else, you must max Ryuji's confidant and NO one else's, you can only use Chariot Personas, and you must choose every dialogue option that is nice to ryuji or makes it seem like you're in love with him
I call it: Two bros stealing hearts together but we're not gay we swear
@ChaosTrash I think I might love you. That idea is amazing!

@jollyvaporeon That's actually not a bad idea.
I was gonna do a Arsene and Jack Frost only run, but recently someone got me some of the Persona DLCs....so I'm doing a Izanagi only run.
Satanael only run
Max lvl Arsene with only Megidolaon as attack and has plenty of resistances.
Haven't even fused Satanael yet...I should do that at some point...
Satanael only run but use skill cards to give him only tier 1 elemental skills
You should
Do a run but Yusuke is your only allowed party member and you only make friends with Yusuke and you also need to hang out with Yusuke almost every single day you can regardless of if you need to or not. I call this run "Kitagawa's Dream"
Girls only on my party run
@IamThou

Get that straight shit outta here.
Do what Yusuke said but with your bae
@Kitagawa
Okay



Morgana only run
i did a pixie only run
@Kotone Shiomi
Demi-fiend would be proud.



And jealous.
Persona 5 but the nuzlocke challenge
it helps that gallows are broken levels of OP in terms of persona buffing.
Persona 5 but the only Confidant you can spend time with is Ohya I call it the Underappreciated Waifu Run
Never hide behind corners or use Third Eye unless required in Palaces
That sounds straight fucked Hibiki! I love it!
P5 run but you say "fuck you" to confidants and only rank up the main story ones xDxD
Only use third eye outside of Mementos
As if Third Eye was ever useful in Mementos
I mean, it passed the time waiting for the reaper
Persona 5 Joke run but the joke is you're playing Persona 4 instead and name the protagonist Akira Kurusu
I like the Date night Idea, then only I and Yusuke
walk through it ones I get him in game.
I am on my thrid playthrough so why not.XD
I challenged myself to get all of the room decorations. Didn't manage it ;-;

I also had a rule to never use Safe Rooms to fast travel around dungeons.

It makes stealing the Treasure on calling card days a heck of a lot more exciting--you actually have to manually sneak through your infiltration route. Not hard at all with some Palaces, a pain in the ass in others. I had to go all the way through Okumura's, puzzles, and all, all over again haha
That actually sounds enjoyable! I've always gone up via safe room! I will be doing it the long way from now on
It's a lot of fun. You end up noticing the layout a lot more--I gotta say some of them are a lot more forgiving than others.

Kamoshida and Kaneshiro's have a bunch of shortcuts you can open to speed things up. Futaba and Shido are mostly straight shots with a small gauntlet on the way. Okumura's is definitely the worst; Madarame's was also pretty rough on the way back up, but at least the puzzles in that Palace stay solved once you pass them.

Sae's is easiest. You can waltz directly into it without encountering any enemies and go straight for the calling card, not so much with the rest.

Along with that, hm... There's also running the game on Merciless, and the Velvet Room twins battle that you can decide to tackle in any number of ways.
I don't look forward to doing that boss with anything other than a full party right now...they are merciless af
Persona 5 Challenge run where you play the game on Safe mode and play it as you would normally but date all the girls.
They definitely are, though they also have a very particular pattern to how they attack. If your MC has the right Personas built to counter them, you can wreck their shit.

Most important is to not have any weaknesses because they can and will capitalize on those
@Hibiki that isn't safe at all....
Play the game with a friend and you are allowed to fuse any Persona you want BUT your friend has to always keep a list of what Personas you have and their skills, and they decide which Personas you equip every round. Bonus points if it's a friend unfamiliar to the franchise.

Turn on the partys AI and keep them on Act Freely the entire time
I hope you realize that by aksing for goofy run ideas im having too much fun thinking of the most ridiculous shit
I really like that last suggestion! That sounds fucking fun for a drinking game!
And good, the more goofy ideas the better
