Look, I stopped hanging out with Yosuke because he keeps calling me his 'Partner' and it's been 6 months now and I don't know how to let him down gently. Kid's just real awkward.

His rank 9 scene is so much more romantic than Rise's. "Oh hey Partner, let me take you up to this scenic hill over looking this town I care about and tell you all about how I'm going to defend it because it's special to me. It's where I met you." I just wish Atlus would let Yosuke be gay.

I just meant that both he and Rise's rank 8 have them undergo an emotional discovery and start crying, and then you are given the option to hug them.

Also he's pretty clearly bi because there's all that poo poo with the MC and then he falls in love with a robot.

I could have sworn there was a dummied-out Yosuke romance path in the game. Didn't someone post to it earlier? :v:

There was speculation towards one, but chances are they are gag recordings of dialogue or meant for a certain scenario where a joke like that might pop up. There is no actual evidence as to whether or not that sort of thing existed.

It doesn't matter too much, but I think Law and Chaos all have NG+ exclusive stuff whereas Neutral doesn't, so if you wanna min-max your playthroughs, go Neutral first.

I am aware of what the hands look like. I did my best. :(
Isn't Neutral a pain in the rear end to maintain? I didn't even bother worrying about what alignment I was in because I didn't feel like keeping a running tally.

Honestly it's not so bad as long as you keep in mind the ending stuff pushing you towards one of them, and just try to keep it as even as you can with your answers.

there's at least one fiend you can only fight once you're locked into neutral and :laffo: good luck beating him on a first playthrough.

I think I tried to lean slightly towards chaos because there are law responses that are unavoidable, but I did manage to get neutral in my first run blind. While it is dumb and also bad, you can definitely do it without a ton of effort. I really hope they start rethinking the whole neutral/law/chaos system soon. They won't, but it'd be nice.

Eh, it's not like you can't be like level 90 or something on your first run pretty easily. It's making him spawn that is the biggest issue.

Rit is The Biggest Issue because the spawn rate is so low that you will be desperately running in and out of areas for hours if not DAYS of real time before the fucker shows. I did exactly one Fiend battle for basically this reason

what robot. Is this in P4G? I swear, I'll clear it after I complete my Vita backlog before 2014 ends.

Maybe, the only problem I had w/Yosuke is his treatment of Kanji overall in every scene they interacted :v:

Kanji's SL is heart-warming as ever :cool:

Then again, everyone in P4 is (technically) in love w/MC because of his awesome fashion choices.

Isn't it supported by some choice, unused dialogue in the Japanese version, or is that bullshit? Yosuke apparently used a word that is specifically used for intimacy, but I think that information might have come from Tumblr, if that means anything.

KNEEL BEFORE THE WICKED KING!
Man, can I just say how insanely disappointed I am that Strange Journey is actually really, really easy? Started up a new game a few days ago and I'm already more than halfway done with the Fornax refights. What I remembered about most of the game started drying up in Carina, and even the stuff I didn't really remember has all been absurdly easy. Kinda disappointed since Asura was meant to be the game getting hard and finally ramping up but... he really wasn't, and it really hasn't. Only really issue so far has been Ouroboros' Disaster Cycle charming the MC, sticking Bomb on 2 dudes and Strain on the fourth but even that didn't matter too much in the end.

It's really telling how probably the hardest fight is Orias at the start of Antlia just because you're inherently under-prepared for it.
