Persona 4 Golden |OT| Love is the only gold.

Extra exp. points after the fusion.
So I'm about ~12 hours into my NG+ run (71 hrs total) and I started all the job S. Links. They seem really interesting, especially Devil. I love that I've finished this game and it just keeps on giving. I'm at stage 3 of Music Club also and Ayane is growing on me, too. I can already tell I'll have to prioritize the links I wanna finish most like my first playthrough, but I can totally see myself doing a third run with a guide to max every S. Link. This is amazing.
S. Links have an invisible point system that determines whether or not you can level up that social link. When you hang out with someone and have a persona of the matching arcana, you get an increased amount of points when choosing favorable dialogue options or just hanging out. It's ignorable for most S. Links early on, but it can make the difference between back to back rank ups or having to hang out for more points in the middle of rank ups in later S. Link levels.

The social link progresses faster.
If you noticed, sometimes when you answer one of the questions you're asked or make a suggestion of some sort, you might see a little jingle of musical notes. When you have an accompanying persona when you do that s.link event you'll gain additional 'points'. Generally it's without = 2 and with = 3 points. Each tier of an s.link requires a certain amount of points. At most it'll be about 5 until the last few levels.
To simplify things, having the right persona makes things go by faster. Answering the questions correctly and getting the jingle makes things go by a lot faster. There are guides with the right answers but that might spoil things for you.

Aww shit
Laughing Banana
Weeping Pickle
Here you go, you are alone with the idol of the entire city next to you and she's acting all nervous like. A lot of people would jump into this opportunity but Yu just don't give a damn with all his swag, heh:
Swag for days. His reputation precedes him, after all, I did get help in a dungeon yesterday by someone going by the name of "Brotagonist".
Haha, yep!
I thought about naming him Yu, but I stick with Charlie. When I do a max SLs run, I'll name him Yu.
So if you don't max out this s-link, do you
automatically get the bad ending?
Man you see so many S-link characters walking to school that I never noticed before. So far, I've seen the Hanged Man, Temperance and Moon walking by, and walked behind both Strength and Sun as they chat about stuff.
I've never seen Kanji though... I assume he's just jigging school for most of the first month or so...

Oh yeah, the ski trip was amazing. As you said, fanservice done right. But the whole subsequent dungeon and FMV was terrible.
At any rate, I'm on the true ending content now. I'm having all the feels I did back when I played this on PS2. Anxious to get it done, but also sad that this is coming to an end. I think in that respect, P4G has really built up to this moment a lot better than P4 on PS2 did.
Man, the first time
shows up at the special headquarters is something special.
Mysterious Fox
I really wish Fox and Marie were integrated more into the main storyline... they don't really seem to exist outside of the social links. At least Fox gets to hang around in dungeons and shit.
She's like that the entire SL. It's kinda funny when you friendzone her and she's all "OH I have to get back to the inn!" and fucking BOLTS.
I've been noticing that, too! It's great. Really adds cohesiveness to Inaba.
Unless you bump into them (well, they come running up to you) you never see the main cast going to school. They're designs are so colorful and specific, they'd really stick out.

Currently watching the P4 animu. Totally hope this happens there too.
Yeah, that was weird and unnecessary.
Anyway, I'm about to finish NG+... And I saw
Fox max S link for the first time... Daw.
It's truly awful. Probably the only thing keeping this from the top of my personal GOTY list. Wish the game had a MW2 like thing at the start that just automatically skipped disgusting shit like that
Damn straight. Then again, the whole Marie arc was a waste of fucking time. This epilogue had better be worth it, because I hated everything about this arc:
- The dreadful poetry.
- Tsundere characters really fuck me off.
- Shitty dungeon.
- Poorly injected into the plot. They basically define Marie's SL by having the P4 cast meet up with her throughout the link, so that they're supposed to give a crap about her come her stupid crisis. It just feels disjointed and completely unconvincing. I'd have preferred it if they did some jiggery-pokery with the events of the game, and integrated her into the main plot earlier on, and had her more involved with the events of the game rather than creating a bubble that the main characters just jump in and out of in a vapid and uninteresting way.
- Crappy anime FMV containing the worst kinds of fanservice to wrap the arc up.
Ugh. So bad.
I skipped the Adachi stuff in order to unlock the epilogue. I only planned on doing his SL on my Max SL playthrough. Maybe I should've given it a look...
It's not much really, but I liked the added characterization.
Anyway, just plat'd the game. Excellent.
Now why I didn't I think of your wallpaper... o_o
Because poor Aigis is in the background. :3
Still, it does make a mostly excellent Vita wallpaper. I have no artistic skills at all or I'd make a yellow one with her P4A art. >_>;
Also I am playing the game one-handed as I type this. Yay one-handedness.
I don't either, I just cropped one down and it actually came out quite well. The Vita itself allows you to do it, transfer any image via the content manager.
Though making one from scratch? yeah... unless I already had the vector I could at least attempt something half-way decent.

About the costume sets, do you only need to buy them once and then you get them for everybody? Or do you need to buy every single person's individually?
I actually liked the dungeon- it got me to dig out some really old persona's with low level abilities so I could hit weaknesses while conserving SP. Your right on with the other stuff, although I guess I have more tolerance for Tsundere's than you do.
But I can't stop thinking about the Fanservice part. I'm all for innofensive fan service like
The concert at Junes
Naked underage girls

Ugh, I feel like I'm not gonna get Hardcore Risette.
I have to find shadows who inflict status ailments and get her talking.

If it says they are a set, they are for everybody.
Only one purchase is necessary for a set.

I know how that feels, but still, portable gaming while taking a crap is still a plus in my book.
Multitasking ftw!
.... how!? At any rate, a 15 minute break/jog every 30 minutes is generally a Good Idea (tm)
Afternoon PersonaGAF.
I just started playing P4G last night and thus far enjoy it. One really dumb question [because i missed the help tip when it came up] I am at a point where I can help wash dishes at home as a chore, but I can not figure out how to help.
The game prompted me for something I think form the triangle button menu but I missed it.
Any suggestions? I want to help out prior to checking out what is on TV tonight...
thanks.

Sometimes, guys with video games are almost worse than girls that talk while in the bathroom.... ><;
It's our throne room!
I do my best thinking on the toilet. It's a strategical advantage.
Wash dishes? You mean at the pub? You have to talk to Dojima and he'll let you out at night. I'm pretty sure the help tip was giving you advice on something else. Washing the dishes at home isn't an optional daily chore.
