P3FES Stuffs

Decided to start routing P3FES the Answer; I'll see what I can adapt of Mulsqi's P3P route to The Journey if I ever get around to doing that.

Basically, the first 4 bosses are easy enough, even underleveled (4th is less consistent but doable... thanks status ailments.)

The problem I'm running into is that I'll exit that 4th boss at about level 33 and hit a huge barrier: I'm out of personas, even grinding until I get 7 additional personas to start. Even if each of those were fused 1 to 1 (they aren't), that gives me a max possible number of fusions of 7 before I'm totally out, assuming each fusion were totally optimal.

I can grind relatively easily in the next area solo, which speeds up leveling pretty well, but I have to get to level 42 before I start getting personas I can tame. I can grind in the area before as well, but those personas are less powerful, require a partner to grind, and you get less exp, meaning the time is much less productive outside of getting a refill on personas.

It's honestly looking like after the 4th boss, the run is going to have to be very fluid. I don't know how to say that "Oh, I have what I need" or to require specific persona drops. The lack of a compendium really makes the run something of a randomizer; it may very well come down to having multiple ways of tackling the later bosses.

TLDR: Arbitrary level boundaries suck.
