The concert is also available on DVD, probably purchasable from the usual import friendly sites.

Just finished the Void Quest in one day. I 1 day'd all the other dungeons too. Thank GOD that stupid feature from 3 was never in 4 like when your allies die and they become tired etc. was so stupid. This was always better

There's a lot of features in 3 that I miss from 4. Randomized elements were almost completely ditched in P4 too, and one-daying dungeons just seems wrong when the game is on a time limit. P4's still the better game overall, tho.

You have to listen to every single one of Rise's lines during battle.

"There are three enemies!"
"This shadow is weak against fire"
"Darkness won't work"
"It's an easy one, just use wind"
"It's a strong one, don't use ice"

etc.

If you are overleveled, you are screwed since you won't be hearing her strong shadows and medium shadows lines.

This has to be done all in one play through.

You forgot the best one.

What's the song at 34:30? Is that some "full version" of Reach Out?

Here's a dumb question. Do they ever release any kind of audio CD for the concert?

Not too sure but there's always the option of ripping the audio from the DVDs I guess.

I didn't 1 day dungeons in my first play through of P4 because I actually had to try and figure out the fox quests so he was way more costly, I constantly wasted money/fucked up fusions etc.

Don't know about Japan but I know people that salt their melons, watermelon, honeydew, etc.


Am I the only one that watches that awesome intro just about everytime you start up the game?

If you are trying to clear the dungeons in a single day then you really don't have enough SP to fight every monster AND fight the two bosses if you are fighting every single enemy. This is assuming you don't just spam the SOS feature then maybe its possible to fight every enemy and clear a dungeon in a day.
Click to expand...

Oh, I spam the SOS feature and usually get 1-2 replies each battle. Even without that I still stock up on TaPs(can usually get 20-30 before going in) and have been focusing on Fox to get discounts on his services though I've never actually had to. Plus if you explore the entire floor you get a bunch of chests that usually contain snuff souls that up your sp significantly. Also if necessary use the shuffle time card that gives you HP and SP. It's really not that hard to go through a dungeon in one day while exploring every floor completely.

It was a nice touch. Good way to grind for treasures as well (especially for those rare weapons/armor).

One thing I really miss is being able to equip any weapon on the MC. It was such a nice little touch. I have no idea why they removed it in P4 (and P3P... those fuckers). They also took out the three types physical damage... another lame way they kind of dumbed down the combat.

Let's hope they bring this stuff back. If it's all randomized I don't understand why you can just toggle an option when you start that lets dungeon just get crazy big. I love dungeon crawling and in P3/P4 it's always feels like it's cut short.

Yea, i'm playing very hard and since the 1st dungeon i've been 1 daying both the previous dungeon and the new dungeon. I need those precious days for social linking. I've used the fox once before dungeons. It's mostly SP management, using HP+SP shuffle cards wisely (3 cups or more), making good use of limited SP items and not spamming the MA's. Now with more characters I can also swap out characters in between dungeons now to and keep everyone relatively leveled up. .

20 hours in now. This is my first Persona. I must say, as a guy who absolutely hates anime, JRPG's (fuck Xenoblade), J-pop and just about every bit of Japanese culture...

This game is fucking awesome.

This is me pretty much (though I have always been fond of the SMT & co. series of games). In the back of my mind I a lot of the things in this game would just bug the shit out of me. But I can't stop playing.

I just really love the "everyday" type gameplay. So many other games just rush you from one big story moment to the next without ever making you feel like anything is really at stake. This game moves at a snails pace though and it just makes all the big moments all the more meaningful.

P4 probably tops my pantheon of "RPG Parties Who Also Appear To Be Actual Friends"

I also really like that there's always a bunch of group events, so even with social links it never devolves into 'MC/Mission is the only thing holding this group together'. You're a part of a larger whole.

Maxed Dojima's S. Link. Any tips to boost my Expression? Can I still get a job for that? Also, is it worth it to start Noato's S. Link? It's late Oct. for me.
Click to expand...

Tower S.Link is a good way to get expression. Translate when he's not available. Since you have Dojima maxed, that frees up more of your nights. You should finish up Nanako while you're at it. You still have quite a few months to do social links so definitely start up Naoto, especially if you use Naoto in your party.

Hey, I maxed my first s.link! I have a question, do I still have to carry around a persona of that s.link or now that it's maxed I don't have to worry about it anymore?

You don't have to worry about it anymore. That's the weird thing about social links. These characters have heartbreaking confessions, go through rough periods, and bond with the MC through fun laughter..........................and then you dump them like a bad habit and move on. lol, the only exception are the girlfriends who at least get events dedicated to hanging out with them (and fight alongside you).
