How much more difficult/easier is catching Guardians in Golden than in Vanilla? Because I am a lovely button masher on a controller, and I want to be able to complete the Fox's request when I finally pick up a Vita. It was pure dumb luck when I pulled it off in my first playthrough.

Oh thank Philemon, I don't know if I could have dealt with that bullshit again. It's a shame, because fishing in real life is way more fun.

Iunno, the impression I got is that while that dude was kind of a creep the idol industry is something Rise legitimately enjoys, warts and all.

Same, though I didn't get the creepy vibes from Inoue. He seemed like he had accepted Rise's retirement on some level and was going through the re-recruitment as a formality, or as simply a part of his job as an agent.


I dunno, that's just me.

So in general, how useful are skills that inflict status ailments? I've always passed them up in Vanilla, but am I missing out on anything?

Ailments are a pain in the rear end, because you have no way to tell if an ailment attack just missed or if the enemy was resistant or immune to it.

They're always effective against your teammates, of course!

They should have added a hidden soda machine in Golden that sells Amrita Soda. But they didn't.

Instead you get to raise Hiranya Cabbages with Nanako, and Rise will just go NOPE when ailments hit you. Much better.

Speaking of cabbage, thank you for teaching me that the shovel is the best weapon. Once I get a hold of a Vita and Golden, I'm going to get it the first chance I get.

So, I go to the store, buy a used Vita and a copy of Persona 4 Golden, get home, and it turns out I can't play because I don't have a memory card. There are three types of cards, which one do I need?

So probably a 4GB card. But there's also something called a PS Vita card that isn't the same as a memory card, which is why I'm confused.

Honestly i just think Chie's voice got way more tolerable, after the first in game month. Even during my second play through i really disliked her voice in the first few scenes with her.

Yeah, my main gripe with her voice was that the actress seemed to be overacting a lot, but I'm halfway through May now and she's settled down.

I downed the Nice Guy, and allowed Chie to use Galactic Punt. She targeted Shadow Kanji, and for just a moment, I thought the battle would end there.


But it only did about 120 damage instead.

So, it's late January, and I've gotten everyone's ultimate personas except Rise's. Now, I romanced her, so when I go to talk to her in the first floor hall, the only option I get is to spend time with her. Am I screwed out of getting Kouzeon (I started the ultimate persona scenes a little late since I was finishing up Naoki's social link)?

I was also surprised to feel myself feeling like a jerk for shooting down Ayane.

It's the first real challenge the game throws at you, which means it will be long and slow.

Level 39 is high enough to fuse Black Frost, which has endgame-level resistances and skills including Mind Charge.

Black Frost is unfair. I fused him for the S-link and for Mitsuo's dungeon, and a bunch of shuffle times later, he had Agi/Bufudyne, Fire/Ice Amp, Null Physical, Mind Charge, and a magic stat of over 50. I eventually had to retire him because he was steamrolling everything.

Are Dancing Hands (the ones that drop Thick Hides) the rarest thing in the Steamy Bathhouse? Because I've been combing the place for nearly 2 and a half hours now (maybe more) and have only gotten 1 Thick Hide.

You could also ignore that quest, none of the side quests are worth the effort. A few do get you outfits if that's your thing but I'd just look up how to get those if you want them.

So, I've been following a guide for the social links, and every so often I'll pick an option that says it'll give me the max points with a matching persona, and then it'll give me one less. I've got the right persona for it, so I don't know what's happening. Is this an issue for anyone else?

Which options are they, specifically?

Well, I just did Kanji's rank 2, in Aiya's. It said that picking "Apologize to her" with an Emperor persona equipped gives 3 points-- but I only got 2 musical notes, even though I had King Frost equipped.


I've noticed it elsewhere, as well.
