Every puzzle has an answer.
If I have to choose two murdering options from a) cool weapons, b) nukes, c) smugness, then unfortunately cool weapons have to go. Thanks. I've been pumping Mag first and Agi and Luck (roughly equally) second, and I just picked up the first skill that recovers MP in the field, so I'm basically ceaselessly Bufu'ing everything in sight like a Disney princess. :black101:

MORT cancels dance: interrupted by MORT
I built my MC into a physical bruiser + party heal and Zio for utility.

Four digit crits are so satisfying.

99% of the game I was fine with a Magical build, but I had a hell of a hard time with one of the DLC bosses (Sanat), enough that if I could do the game again I would definitely focus more on Dexerity just to avoid the hassle that was that fight.

I am eternally stuck on the last DLC boss (Masakados) because not only is that boss fight timed, he does ridiculous amounts of damage and I can't find a way to fight him that isn't based on luck.

If I recall correctly, you can get through that fight with a chance to take no damage at all if you cover your demon's weaknesses with Repel and try to have your MC always smirked via Archangel's Law. Then you just use Refrigerate and Kannuki-Throw with the corresponding Pierces and he goes down really fast.

It's mid-December in Persona 3 and now that I've maxed out the Star and Tower links, the only social link the game will allow me to raise is the Gourmet King. Irritating.

Apparently Persona Q beta things are coming out already. The beta character textures make it look like they wanted to do a little less cartoony look. Nothing is spoiled on the page.

His entire SL didn't improve at all from day 1 to the ending. I ended up clearing everyone's SL on different replays because I wanted to know what happened. I'm not saying P3 isn't fun but some of the SL were just :bravo2:

People give a lot of reasons for why the female main character is better in Persona 3, but honestly the best thing about choosing her is that there is no Gourmet King s-link.

What even happens in that link? I wonder if anyone actually likes the Gourmet King. I thought everyone could all get together and hate Ken, but apparently he has a few fans, so maybe the Gourmet King is the same...

I am so excited for this game, but am sad to see that the adults will not be in the game. I feel like Akihiko and Dojima, for instance, could have funny scenes of non-emoting at each other.

I don't recall if the Gourmet King's final persona was worth it or not.

I'm just confused why game developers thought it is a good idea to add a SL where you can't be just friends with a grade schooler. I liked P4's ability to become friends w/everyone account of no one is good enough for the MC v:v:v

That would require Adachi and Dojima to know about persona/shadows. That would be an interesting plot point to work out, especially considering the story.

They took the teams at their peak, just before their world comes crashing down. That line of thinking would get Ikutsuki and Strega involved as well. They gotta save that for Persona Q2: The Quest for More Money.( Featuring Yu Narukami's friendly nemesis Sho Minazuki.)



Speaking of Persona, Memories of You finally came out:

He pretty much says that in Arena 2, but in Persona 4 you can tell him everything and he thinks you're lying.

To be fair, if my nephew told me he was jumping into a TV set to fight the personifications of humanity's dark side I'd assume he was just tripping balls. And while Dojima doesn't believe you when you flat out tell him, he does know that you're the only ones who can get Nanako back to him after she's kidnapped

It's still kind of baffling how that there's no point in the interrogation you can't just walk up to the TV right there in the room and stick your hand in.

Like, if they gave an option to try it but Dojima cuts you off and go, 'don't mess around, ugh, I'm going outside for a smoke', that's one thing, but that it's not even an option.

That was one of my major complaints about P4. Just like, in June, the first time he gets all suspicious, just walk over and stick your hand and or head into the tv and be like "YO CHECK THIS OUT YA OLD DRUNKO" and then he would be owned and also become a party member.

In the Euro version of SMT4, Diana has had her many nipples airbrushed out. Looks really freaky.

Still looks as bad. Just tons of testicles hanging off her now. They should have changed the color or something.

She had the nipples in her debut in Japanese Soul Hackers. All of her appearances after that were nipple-free IIRC, regardless of version.

Guess I made a fuss about nothing then. Checked Strange Journey and there are no nipples there either.

Since the Euro rating is lower I expected something to change (plus something to justify the delay).

It's been awhile and I haven't cleared P4:G but I think this is correct what happens when you confront your uncle about it.

For some reason many adults or older people don't trust in teens in JRPGs :v:

You explain it to him in like November or so and he doesn't believe you. Of course, there was a TV right behind you that you could have proven your claim with. You just don't.
