I'm playing p5 for the first time.
Any hints or advice?
Is there enough time to max out your social links before the game finishes or should I look up a guide?
Is there something exploitable like in p4 with the soda to get sp restoring drinks?

Curious about this as well. Time gated games always end up giving me big time FOMO, but playing by following a guide is pretty boring.

You can max all confidants in a single run but it does require some smart playing. Try to optimise and think ahead. I'm not sure about Royal but the original P5 was reasonably lenient about this.
Caleb Foster
The two most important confidants for getting more time are Fortune and Temperance. Fortune requires a 100k yen investment and Temperance requires guts at rank 3 to start their confidant.
It's a lot easier. Morgana doesn't tell you to go to sleep nearly as much so you have more time to work on your social stats.

Get your confidant level up with Takemi as fast as possible for the MP regen equipment she sells.

You could do it in 5 and P5R gives you even more time to get things done. So far, Royal to me seems like an easier game than normal 5 because of how much time you have to do everything. And even if you mess up, some stuff is locked to NG+, so you'd be wasting your time following a guide if you wanted to do absolutely everything because you need another playthrough anyway.

I maxed every single confidant except for Haru's but I wasn't looking at a guide for the best dialogue choices.

What kind of stuff?
Matthew Hill
There is enough time as long as you use the fortune teller social link. Do darts and billiards to improve team baton passes and technicals. Try and do Palaces I'm as little days as possible. Finally, look up a guide for the Jazz Bar, on Sundays you can invite a party member there to learn a specific move.
Alexander Wood
You can't complete the Persona Compendium in normal NG and you can't fight the secret boss in normal NG. If you're playing casually, you likely haven't fused, defused, and refused your personas enough to be able to fight the secret boss at level 10 or whatever when NG+ starts. So if doing that is something you care about, that's essentially another playthrough just for that.
