Inter-party female S-Link maxing chicanery. [spoiler]Evidently you can, in fact, be in more than one "intimate" relationship with female S-Links. At least that seems to be the case with me since I maxed out Chie's and got to Rank 9 on Yukiko's. I'm only doing this because I want to see if there's some sort of School Days-esque special ending where the female population of Inaba turns on itself in an orgy of violence, decapitation and recreational yachting. Although now that I think about it the "female lead cradling the severed head of the male lead" card was already played for the P2: Eternal Punishment cover.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I've got Chie, Yukkiko, & Rise Maxed out.
And I've nearly gotten the Nurse, and Naoto maxed out.
I be pimpin' Yo

.
Unfortunately/Awesomely, they don't seem to care or notice no matter how many intimate relationships you make.

There was a good 4koma I saw that depicted Yosuke and Kanji talking about how great (Player character) was as he rides off in a train...."Except when it came to female relationships..." It then showed all of the female characters, including Margaret and Nanako trying to kill each other.[/spoiler]

December begins.

My mind has been blown like five fuckin times.

I'm at 10/14. I love this game so hard. It makes me want to build Gundam models and go look up what the hell a croquette is so I can make some.

I'm in the [spoiler]true last level[/spoiler] now and I haven't played for a few days. Anyone else have a tendency to slow down or just stop RPGs at this point?

For those of you in December:
[spoiler]You time-skip as soon as the boss is defeated (and he's easy to boot! If you save you're SP for the second form, anyway). So do some bonding with friends first.
But don't take too long or you don't get to ~~fuck~~ hang out with anyone on Xmas eve![/spoiler]

WARNING! SUPER SPOILER AHEAD:
[spoiler]I can't believe it was the fucking GAS STATION ATTENDANT! What the fuck man!?[/spoiler]

I'm at the same spot and haven't played since... before Christmas, I think. And yeah, I tend to do this all the damn time with RPGs. I guess it has something to do with not wanting the game to end. Also, most games that I have finished have shitty endings, so maybe it's a way to keep my fond memories of the game without them being tainted.

Early December, still. Plot analysis follows!

[spoiler]THIS IS SOME BULLSHIT HERE. I am really hoping that some of the outstanding things i am wondering about are covered really soon because if not i will be pretty annoyed![/spoiler]

That's where I stopped too. I kind of just don't want it to end I think.

If you're in the [spoiler]true last dungeon[/spoiler], you should probably bring a Null Phys persona to the boss fight on the 3rd floor. Just a heads-up! The other dungeon midboss was kind of a joke but that one one-shotted me the first time I went up against it. I think I used a Siegfried the second time around, cast Masukukaja, and it went down in like 2 rounds, but if you're not prepared for it you could get rocked.

I'm a bit of the way into a New Game+ now. Your level doesn't carry over like it does in P3, but you can summon personas of any level and you get all your cash so it pretty much works out the same way. I'd recommend doing a New Game+ to everyone else, too, because you probably didn't max every social link the first time through, and Sun and Strength are different depending on which club you pick. Also your personality stats carry over so you don't have to waste time studying/thoroughly reading at night or eating at Aiya on rainy days or whatever. It's very satisfying to be able to pick whatever you want in conversations without the game telling you you're not ballsy enough!

I am starting this game right now. I will keep you appraised of further developments.

After the November dungeon. [spoiler]The music for Protagonist's home is different when Nanako and Dojima are at the hospital. It's... disconcerting. Lonely, even. You never realize how used you are to hearing Nanako welcome you until you're faced with nothing.[/spoiler]

Damn right. I definitely did... Well, almost.

Okay, I just finished this and [spoiler]the gameplay and everything was pretty good but the endgame was embarassingly stupid, especially considering the endgame was far-and-away the best part of P3. These people know how to make a memorable ending. It's not an exaggeration to say November onward completely ruined what was until that point a totally awesome experience.

Of course, I think Shadow Hearts: Covenant is the best RPG to grace the PS2 and KotOR is boring, overrated bullshit so my taste in RPGs may be rather suspect.[/spoiler]

Koah · « **Reply #94 on:** January 13, 2009, 02:42:42 PM »

12/22. [spoiler]I know someone earlier said that the decision on 12/5ish over who the real killer was, was basically limited to all the contacts and the killer, but for some reason it didn't click until I tried to be all funny and get the bad ending by picking random characters and ended up selecting Adachi and... yeah. I feel kind of gypped now, actually.

Watching the world slowly descend into hell over the course of the month is rather chilling, though, plus I suspect that the lecture you got from the P3 teacher is going to be oddly relevant later on.

It's also a bit odd in that there's Big Shit going down but the guy you've been trying to find and stop isn't actually directly responsible for it. Well, I guess that's how it sort of worked in P3, but they were more responsible for it in that than the relevant parties are in P4.[/spoiler]

Still having fun, though. Especially now since I'm using all the awesome "make shit explode" personas like Trumpeter and Norn. Oh Debilitate, I've been waiting seventy levels for you. Let's be friends... forever.

FOREVER.

I finally got around to beating the December dungeon [spoiler]and I've unlocked the 3/20 final dungeon. I only beat the optional bosses of the first two dungeons, so I think I might go back through all the old dungeons and get the rainy day drops and bonus items and stuff before going into the last area.[/spoiler]

Kind of think I'm getting Persona 4 for my birthday at the end of March, so I've been trying to finish Fes in the mean time. When I mentioned this to one of my former roommates--the guy who loves Devil May Cry and God Hand and Ninja Gaiden; the guy who loves Guitar Hero so much that he taught himself to play--he said that Persona 4 is actually his favorite videogame, and that he actually wound up writing a song about it (EDIT: click the link, then change "sharkey.gamespite.net" to "youtube.com"), and that it might be best not to watch it since it might contain spoilers. Pretty psyched.

So psyched, in fact, that I took all those tests you guys linked. Meadowtron's gave me the Hierophant. That seems about right. Kayma's test gave me the Tower (83%), followed by the Moon (75), the Emperor (67), and the Empress (67). My birth cards are apparently Tower-Chariot as well.

I got this last night.

Holy crap PS2 graphics can look this good? This CLEAN?

So for the first two hours I was wondering if I bought an anime series that requires click-to-talk or if it was an actual game. Then I got to the castle. Huzzah. After that little romp it was 12:30AM and I figured I should go to bed.

For my money, Persona 4 is the best slice of life anime since Azumanga Daioh.

So far it's oh wow, spooky mist and WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THAT TV!?!

Totally waiting for this thing to go Eternal Darkness on me.
