Messed Up
So I'm playing through Persona 5 Royal, and I'm following a guide that 100%s the Confidants, gets the true ending, etc. as I don't really have time to do multiple playthroughs. I'm not here to argue about whether using a guide is right or not.
I'm following this guide specifically: https://psnprofiles.com/guide/11946-persona-5-royal-100-perfect-schedule#13-july
I'm on Sunday July 31st and just finished Futaba's Palace. I noticed when I went to the drink stand in Shibuya that the drink I received was different than the one the guide says. I have a save from the Sunday before (24th) and that drink was also off. I have a save from the Sunday before (17th), and that drink was also off. The Sunday before (10th) only has story events, so you can't even go to the drink stand that day. I'm guessing that what happened is I missed getting the drink stand drink on July 3rd.
My problem is that I don't have a save from the 3rd. My earliest save is on July 12th.
I know there's Chihaya's fortune readings to boost your Social Stat gains, and the guide I'm using has a specific section saying that this skill can be used to correct minor deviations. But now the drink schedule is delayed by a full week.
I've read through the guide and there's only one day in the entire game that the guide advertises as a free day.
Do I just keep playing and try to use Chihaya to max out the stats I'm delayed on as much as I can? I don't want to have to start the game over as I'm 40 hours in lol.
