motherFUCKER. Void Quest. Level 7. Did not fight the mini-boss there. Now I'm on Boss Level.

God damn it.

I finally managed to max out Rise's S. Link. Now she can tell me what enemies are weak to. Well, just one enemy. Randomly. And sometimes its what it's strong against. And she only blurts it out at the beginning of the fight. And sometimes she'll say something else.

I hate you so much, Rise.

Making it worse is that most of the personae of the Lovers arcana are nothing special. She's only really worth maxing out if you're trying to max all the social links in one go.

Yup, I learned my lesson: stop once I get enemy radar.

It's not that he was hard. It's that he was tedious. And there's exposition. And a boss fight before him.

So I beat the absolute final boss. And now I'm playing the New Game +.

Also: I fused a Satan. it's good to see that great minds think alike; sure, it might not have the screaming demon cock of agony, but P4's Satan has just the right number of tits. Six.

I started up a New Game + because, gosh darn, I only maxed eight social links, and three of those were automatic. I beat the second dungeon in one in-game day and I've already accomplished more than I did in the first playthrough.

Speaking of which, after beating the second dungeon boss I realized some stuff:

[spoiler]First, I figured out how Kanji's persona and shadow looked similar. Every other character's persona looked like their shadow, except Kanji's I thought. Then it hit me: Kanji's shadow is a half black and half white giant that carries giant clubs shaped like Mars Symbols, and his persona is a black giant with a white skeleton that carries a lightning bolt-shaped club. Seems obvious in hindsight.

This got me to figure out the meaning behind the persona evolutions that each character goes through if you max their S. Link. Almost every character's starting persona looks like a Power Ranger -- a Japanese children's super hero. When their personas evolve, they don't look terribly different, but they lose the Kamen Rider look. That's obviously a metaphor for growing up. The exception is Kanji's: if anything, his evolved persona looks even more childish. I'm pretty sure that's a metaphor for getting in touch with his softer side. I don't know, I didn't finish his S. Link.

Also: the Fool and the Judgment arcana represent the main character's Social Link with himself. I know it says it's his S. Link with SEES or the Investigation Team or whatever, but he's the leader of those groups. He identifies himself as the leader, and it's everybody's trust in him that makes him grow as a person as opposed to the way it goes for the other S. Links.[/spoiler]

ITT we now discuss the best Ultimate Persona.

I will kick it off with a vote for Kohryu.  He can be fused relatively early for Max S.Link persona, gets everything from the best healing spells to the best lightning spells, and ties it together with Spell Master.  Clear winner if you aren't using Kanji.

hi what's up i'm odin

i'm like kohryu but instead of having heals and spell master, i duplicate the element of the best character in the game

see i guess what i'm saying here is l2p

EDIT: on my second playthrough I came to the first ever situation where I had nothing to do at night and went to bed early, and I had a dream where (I shit you not) Nanako and I were in luchadore masks wrestling each other and it improved our relationship. D:

Wait.  Nanako?  Not Chie?  Guess it randomly inserts a name, then.

Made the mistake of putting this in my PS3, "just to see what the opening is like."  An hour and a half later I finally got the ability to open the menu and look at my dude's affinities.  There's five non-combat stats now?  Jesus.

I was a little bit concerned that the tightness of the Modern Persona Formula would make the game predictable, but I was surprised by how much of a departure Persona 4 feels like.  I really like it.
