Dunno why you'd go for any other ending but TDE, but you aren't locked until you go into the room afterwards. So you can still get him.

I thought you weren't locked into the TDE until you reached the VERY bottom of the Labyrinth. Also entering the Tower of Kagutsuchi before completion of the Labyrinth locks you out of TDE.

I've already seen a reference to Persona Q in P4U story mode. Yosuke talks about the seven mysteries of yasogami and an endless hallway. It actually makes sense too since it comes afterwards. Margaret also mentions it's their third ordeal, although it seems in that case she counted P4A as the second one.

P$A and P4U seem like the same ordeal, really. Same person is behind both.

I thought that that wasn't so much a reference as a generic high school anime trope.

I like the way the true ending bit of P4 reduces the town to two shop menus and leaves you with just the thoroughly mediocre dungeon crawling.

On the other hand, how should they have done ? You are supposed to be doing that dungeon that's lit.

I don't know how they could have done anything else. If they added a dungeon gimmick I'm sure it'd be worse or did you want the option of stuffing your face with Rainy Day Meat Bowls all day?

The dungeon didn't have to be 8 dull floors of generic hallways, with most enemies sharing the ice weakness.

The Rainy Meat Bowls were awful i.e. the reward for maxing the stats out was getting them massively boosted for free.

The dungeon wasn't any different from the rest of them. What I really think needed to be changed was the last boss. I used the same tactic for her as I did for Ameno-sagiri. Buff, charge and attack.

It would have been nice to have her way more difficult for the true ending.

You do realise the point of the rainy day bowl is the stat increase, right? Eating it after being maxed out for free ils juste for flavour.

Yes, and after you master it it reports "significant" pointless stat increases instead of the usual small ones.

Was there any rhyme or reason to the fridge contents and their effects?

Make lunch, invite friend to your lunch, increase S.link points with them.

Other things had different effects like increasing stats or making you sick.

Decided to stop being completely lazy and cleaned up the news section/ added and updated info in the OP. I don't follow LPs at all so if there are notable ones I should add go ahead and link them. Also, any other resources I should link or things I should add to the "faq". Also also: this thread really needs a better title.

SMT4 lets you wreck a dude fifty levels above you if you match the elements right, and there is an (optional) encounter in the game where you are literally expected to do that. That seems pretty :getin: to me, especially with the base-level bias that a lot of the rest of the franchise suffers.

The game doesn't actually expect you to do that, those quests are always open. I don't think you can actually complete that quest for real until way late in the game. It's really cool that it allows you to try, though.

I did it on my first try as did many others. It's really not hard if you've been playing megaten games long enough to know how to game the system.

I didn't say it was hard. I said the game isn't expecting you to go straight for them, but you can if you want and that's cool.
