Man, I didn't manage to hit Knowledge 4 before the second set of exams... I have a feeling I'm being super inefficient somehow despite trying really hard. At least I finally got all stats to 3 so I can go eat BURGER MK.2 THE REVENGE OF BURGER

In mid-June, and so far the only Social Link I've found disappointing is Ann's. It started strong with a lot of potential, but has been pretty weak so far. She's going to strengthen her heart by being in action movies? Seriously?. Disappointing especially because outside of her S-link she's a really cool character

Think my favorites so far are the politician's and the doctor's. But there's many I haven't gotten to yet or have progressed that far.

Whoa, actually I managed to get Knowledge 4 by eating the burger on the very last day before exams. Nice.

... I should probably focus on my S.Links a bit more after the exams.

Yeah, Ann's link feels like they mashed two or three good links together... and then mostly did filler ranks and underdeveloped all the good bits. Its very disjointed though it has some good scenes scattered through.

I did like how they worked in a shot of Joker running away with a spotlight on him during the intro in the casino like Lupin did in the first Lupin OP. I wanted to find a gif of it to post here but apparently searching for "Lupin Spotlight" and "Lupin Running Brick Wall" and everything else I can think of doesnt turn it up.

Couldn't find a gif either but:

Yeah there's not doubt, that's not an accidental similarity. Very cool though. I was thinking of the actual Arsene Lupin character in the novels and forgot Lupin the 3rd existed until now.

I really, really like how, throughout the game when you're talking to your teammates, the game consistantly gives you a "Persona 4 The Anime Yu Narukami Option". Just being reliably given the option to be a suave dick to your friends is real refreshing.

Has anyone gotten anything good out of asking Shadows for items? I've gotten a few decent items but I'm wondering if it's worth it more just to annihilate them and buy goodies with money from their dead bodies

The straight man gimmick never gets boring to me. Unrelated but Breath of the Wild has amazing responses in that same vein.

Talking to shadows is only worthwhile if you have one of them as your current Personas

You get a lot more money or a higher possibility of getting good items like SP-restoring stuff that way.

Its still worthwhile to ask for money even if they aren't. You usually get more than you would by finishing the fight and you save SP/HP.

I love all the side stories going on with all of the non-S-Link characters. If you aren't talking to them after each main event you're missing out.

It's pretty easy to keep track of who they are since they are always in the same spot.

Yeah.

Thats basically chump change by the fourth palace tho. Once you can afford the SP restoring accessories from Tae's store you break the economy in half. Suddenly you don't need to spend money on healing items, you can fuse great personas and constantly spam skills so you can extort money etc.
