I ran into the Reaper as well. I play with no or limited sound most of the time since I'm usually on the couch while my fiancee is watching TV or something so I didn't even hear the chains. I gave it a shot though after the warning and was of course promptly slaughtered. I think he "only" did about 800 or so damage to us but I could be off.
Is it possible to beat him without being like level 99? I got the notice a second time in a later dungeon but didn't try my luck.

I think we already had Mystery Food X in this thread, but this seems to be real, edible food with some post cards (?) added to the mix.

Loving the game more than ever, about 35 hours in. I'm extremely sad because I was looking up a poorly worded search to figure out what to do next and think I spoiled who the killer is from Wikipedia of all places.
It's okay, the game offers so much more than just simply the identity of the killer, me and the lovely Chie are an item now, so that rocks.

Clear time 91h 20m
Would have been about 15 hours less but I went a bit nuts grinding and fusing personas towards the end
I have to say, the last boss tracks are more amazing then I remember. The Fog is dat Meguro goodness but The Genesis, that's a real final boss track. A lot of the time you'll see a really cool track get saved for the final battle, which I guess what The Fog is for. That track, the progression, the calls to other tracks. If
, I don't even wanna talk to yo ass.
Anyway, the epilogue; it would have been cool as post credits. The momentum towards original credits sequence was so perfect, what a waste. As far as the epilogue itself
While I was enjoying the new jazzed up version of Nevermore at 3:30 am I noticed a big ass spider walking on my arm. Moment ruined courtesy of Australian wildlife

the point where Reach Out To The Truth kicked it in didn't swell you with Snake Had A Hard Life manly tears and rouse you to victory

WHAT DID YOU DO KANJI? YOU LOOK LIKE A COMPLETE GOOBER. Nothing else was all that surprising. Marie being a weather girl despite being younger than the cast. Wat? Naoto, Chie and Yukiko looking good. Rise looking like Daisoujou. MC laughing the same way he grunts to close it out. Hah!

Heh, I was always under the impression the sales for the first Blazblue was only decent.

Yes, from Dec. until Feb. 11, iirc. Some SLs may not show (
Adachi, Marie. Also, Dojima and Nanako show up only a couple of days.

That's what I felt about The Fog and The Genesis. The build up in The Genesis and then
going into an orchestral version of Reach Out was amazing. Especially since it kicked in when my party was dying.

Marie is the way older than the cast. Like eons old. What are you even talking about?
To most people she looks younger or at least the same age as the cast. It's wierd to think some weather station started employing her even if she's secretly the other aspect of a goddess.

Aww, I was hoping to get Adachi a little higher for the extra scenes. Good thing I maxed out Marie. What about her dungeon, when does it unlock?

Feb 13th, she's the real deadline for maxing out any other social links. After her dungeon you won't have anymore time.

Eh, I think she can pass for someone in their 20s, which most weather girls are. Also she's no longer an aspect, well at least by the ending. Inaba is her home now, so I think the weather girl thing fits her pretty well after screwing with the town and tv world for a year, she owes them some good weather, lol. Gods showing up as normal looking people with normal looking jobs in the modern world always kind of amused me.
I always thought she looked a tad bit older than the rest of the cast. Maybe a year or two
I thought someone implied she looked younger than the cast. I can't remember who though.
Yeah, I figured as much since Ryoji essentially convinced everyone he was a transfer student.
What's paralyzing you? Are you worried about making "wrong" fusions?

Noticeably better stats than any of my other party members and the skills I've gotten from skill cards and Skill+ aren't bad.
For some bizarre reason, all of the single target -nda skills are considered rank 1 skills. Not going to complain.

I finally have all the books.
I just need to read them now. I don't even know if this trophy is worth all this effort.
Ah, ok.

Ah, ok.
Also done with NG after like 93h. This is the first time I ever played a Persona game and now I can totally see where the huge following coming from The beginning was somewhat slow, the first dungeons especially were a huge pain in the ass if you're not familiar with the gameplay but the character could always motivate me to keep playing. I can't remember the last game that had such a big and terrific cast. If I had to choose one favorite character, it would probably be Chie but I like pretty much every single one of them.
Now onto NG+, got to read all of the books, complete the Compendium and level up all the SLs.
The True Ending was very nice btw, totally worth playing the extra dungeon for.

Pretty sure I'll never get that trophy. I just don't have the patience for "Miss it and it's gone forever" achievs like that ><;
The books mostly require the strength social link to be below 5 or above 6 (for three of them I think), Than just eating at Aiya 8 times and taking a girl to the festival, so it's not too bad on the missable side.
The quest where you have to fight the hands in Yukiko's dungeon I think, sucked though. Screw those rare hands.

Just got the trophy myself lol. All that effort for a bronze trophy...I finally have all the books.

You actually have to farm for two quests to all the books. The guy in front of the bookstore has two quests where he needs something from the dungeons in exchage for books. Fortunately, the second request was waaaay easier.
It's mostly been a pain because I'm trying to max all social links and get the books.

Is that even possible for the first playthrough? I'm only asking because I'm doing my first playthrough now, and I'm starting to have doubts (I'm having the same pain lol)
Yeah, that's the scales in the club I think, they're less rare than the hands it seems. I swear I spend at least an hour or two looking for those stupid hands.
I'm following a guide to try to do both and I'm struggling. Since I don't need to study for quizzes or waste time for other stats I can squeeze in more time for the links. I'm not sure I could do it on a first playthrough.
You have to give a certain set of responses on a specific day to get the normal ending. You'll know when it comes because the game will actually prompt you to save beforehand. That's as vague as I can get.

Can anyone tell me about how much more game there is here? It's starting to drag on, honestly.

Hours. You have four more dungeons for the main game, and the Golden dungeon if you're wanting to do the new content.
You're only about half way through the game.
You always start from the last floor you were on in a dungeon. This resets after the next dungeon unlocks when the optional bosses appear.
When you leave a dungeon, you can resume that dungeon at the floor you left.
If you leave you can return to the floor you left on.
The point would usually be to heal, especially SP.
So could I use a Goho-M, register my new Personas then just go right back without advancing the day?
Yup, I go back pretty frequently to register/fuse/heal/save on Very Hard.
That's good enough for me. Thanks!
EDIT: And by normal, you mean the "bad" ending? So if I give the right responses, I get the true ending?

No, the normal ending is the good ending. The bad and neutral endings will come if you give the wrong answers (and you'll know pretty quickly if you did). True ending has its own set of prerequisites on another day.
what day is it? (spoiler tag)
Welcome to the world of jRPGs that actually have content and don't leave you hanging after 20 hours.
This is a great deal more complicated than I thought. So there's a bad, neutral, normal (good), and true ending?
