Some Gamestops still has the Vita skins. I went to my local one and they were too happy to give me one, in case people here are looking for one.

Whelp, finished my first playthrough.

57 hours. Maxed Fool/Priestess/Lovers/Chariot/Star/Sun/Judgement.
Finished with MC at level 76.
5 choices for Valentines Day. :stare:

Best advice is to make the Black Frost persona as soon as possible. (I think 38?) It stayed as my main until I was level 65.

Kind of a kick in the nuts when you have to sit through everyone before you can do the event. Took like 10 minutes to go through everyone.

Is Persona 4 Arena worth playing? I'm into the Capcom fighting games mostly, but was curious if it added anything else to the storyline.

E: but seriously, P3P is better mechanically, I think LadyMC is better written and has better S-link stories, plus it's portable! It's really the definitive version.

Honestly, I wasn't a big handheld gamer at all, and bought my Vita on a whim, but being able to suspend a game whenever I want has become the a feature that I've become more and more dependent on.

What level are you? And if Yukiko's SP is an issue, I'm pretty sure you can get the accessory that halves SP costs by then, and the weapon you get from the optional boss in the Castle gives her more SP to work with.

Seriously, Yukiko's fan that's in the optional castle boss room is +50 sp, and I kept it on her the whole game.

You do get to keep the items from completing the S-Link though, so if you didn't fuse the persona that it unlocked you can do that asap (once you have the required level)

Your Persona and skill card compendiums carry over too. You do need the required level to fuse a new persona, but you can buy any persona that you already unlocked, even if the level is above yours. (Level 99 Black Frost? Why not!)

You do still need to get all the S-Links in one playthrough if you're going for the trophy though.

Does anyone know if the Risette trophy progress carries over? I still need to get that one.

Well I'm lvl 80 and it's January 21. Maybe I'll head back into the TV and fight him on one of these last fleeting days of my year in Inaba. How can I game it so I save right before I fight him? His appearance is based around opening a specific number of chests, right?

EDIT: Also, if I hear the chains and Goho-M, will the whole chest sequence restart?

I think so. I've gotten the chains sounds and ran out of treasure chests on the level I was on, and he went away when I opened the next one.

Black Frost actually lasted me for the rest of the game.
I had to grind him up a fair bit to beat the last few dungeons though, so I would say fusing him away after a point would be ideal.

Black Frost carried me through my first playthrough, now my main one is my level 99 satan and trumpeter.

Since this is basically the Persona series thread, A sequel to Persona 4: Arena was announced today.. They're adding in Junpei and Yukari from Persona 3.

Location testing is running in Japan from Aug 16-Aug 18, which means that they're really far along in development.

gently caress yes. My never buying the original due to the region issues has paid off. Hopefully they don't region lock this.

So, something I'm not clear on - is this a sequel-sequel with a new story set after P4 or even the Golden Epilogue, or is it just 'P4A Turbo' with a slew of gameplay upgrades?

P4:A had a storyline that takes place after the Golden Epilogue, even though Kanji is blonde, and this looks like it may look like a sequel to P4:A, or they could just shoehorn in the Junpei/Yukkari storyline into the P4:A story.

That's the right way to look at it, anyways. While it's certainly possible to do, it requires pretty strict planning, if not necessarily as strict as it used to be.

Yeah, I was only able to do it in New Game+ after I maxed all my social stats.

Only trophies I need now are the 100 cards registered and the stupid Risette's Line one. Ugh.

So Ryoji isn't dead? I only played P3P, didn't play through The Answer or any of the extended stuff, but there he is in the Persona Q trailer

Excited for Persona 5, glad I don't have to buy a next-gen system for it. Also glad to see the Persona 3 cast is back to shooting themselves in the head, P4:A looked a bit odd without that.
