I've been playing through Golden and just got Rise, but I feel like I still don't really understand fusing personas. Is the point just to collect them all and fill up your compendium? Because aside from occasionally swapping one out when I needed a fire spell instead of lightning, I haven't had much need to swap personas. Maybe I should have played on hard?

Still loving the game, though. :)

Ah, so it's important not only to fuse new personas, but to re-fuse existing personas that you use frequently, since they'll be more powerful. Was that ever explained in the fusion tutorials? In general, I feel like there's a lot of mystery surrounding fusion that I'm not getting.

Also, most of the more powerful personas that I can make via triple and quad fusions are like 20 levels above me.

All right, it makes a bit more sense now. Thanks for all the advice. :)

In P4, should I be holding onto personas that match social links I'm trying to level? Whenever an opportunity comes up, a message always appears that says, "Since you have a persona of the _____ arcana, you might get along with this person." As far as I can tell, you can still do the social activity if you don't have a persona of a matching arcana, though. Do you get less social "points" if you don't have a matching persona?

Yeah, Yukiko gets crazy powerful toward the end of the game. To be honest, Chie felt a bit lacking in combat, but I always took her anyway because galactic punt never stops being hilarious, and... well, it's Chie.

It took me a lot of getting used to, especially since she really overdoes her lines in the beginning of the game. but I ended up enjoying her portrayal.

I probably never would have known Teddie had a new voice actor if I hadn't been told.

Same here. I didn't dislike him, but I never really loved Teddie as a character, so I never paid much attention to his voice actor.

Old Chie definitely sounded like a middle-aged woman. I do appreciate new Chie's youthfulness, even if she is a bit forceful with her lines.

Yeah... about Adachi...

I am pretty sure he is the killer. I really hope i am wrong. Adachi leaves the building to get the papparazi, and Rise is apparently gone?
Just play the game, UberJumper :colbert:. Come back to the thread when it's time for NG+.

I have a question, why is everyone obsessed with Rise? Isn't she just an actress? Or is this just some sort of japanese thing?
Yeah, teenage pop idols are a big deal in Japan.

Yeah, we're giving you a hard time with all these spoilers, UberJumper, but it's fun to watch someone play through the game we love so much for the first time. :)

Don't apologize. A lot of us are enjoying the impressions of a newcomer to P4. :)

Are you trying to say that Yukiko's epic struggle to avenge her Bento Box isn't the most well written story every in a fighting game? I guess there was other stuff going on too.
