The what now?
It was 6:20 am and I hardly gotten any sleep and I had school in like 30 minutes it was a dire situation man!
Fun fact of the day: Soejima's first job for Atlus was animating the Jack Frost sprite in the Atlus logo.
Sitting on 1.9m yen in my game.

800,000+ on my VH 1st playthrough game and that's only because I bought every costume so far and had to work with a very expensive compendium.

I had over 3.3m, now back to 2.9m yen after buying equipment, costumes and random stuff. It's only mid-January and I avoided fighting in the December dungeon because I was tired of fighting stuff. Now I have to go find quest stuff so wheee, more monies!
The things I miss when I go to bread!
I am down to about 200k, but that was after me completing the compendium. I dropped about 1.5m(maybe more) total to fuse. I'm surprised Igor didn't get solid gold dubs and pimp the hell out of the Velvet Room when I was finished.
Fishing is basically just for the quests now, in vanilla you could trade fish to the guy next to the riverbank for items. At least I haven't found out how to trade with him in Golden.
There's a book, but it just helps you catch fish faster. At certain points the triangle button will appear and it reels in the fish a little closer.

Why go to bread when you can burn it?

Just got finished with the Nanako social link, and it's definitely my favorite one so far, she's just so sweet! She reminds me of my little sister when she was younger, and I can't believe I'm actually finding myself caring for the characters in a game, been a long while since that's happened.

Did you actually read it? Any english versions anywhere? Curious about it.
Is that different to the light novel with the motorbike persona?
I remember people being up in arms about her taking on a more feminine appearance, but after replaying P4G twice her arc always leads towards that... I see why people see what they want to see in Kanji and Naoto's dungeons, but that's not really the main message of their arcs.
There's no excuse for the coronet outfit though

How far into Dojima's are you? They compliment each other extremely well, for rather obvious reasons.
She says she accepts a more feminine appearance, but they display that in the epilogue. She's still got short hair. Not only is the long hair terrible looking, but it's a weakness that someone could grab onto because it's not even like she hides it. It's just so uncharacteristic.
And the motorbike is SO bad. Not only does he look awful, but the things he says, and maybe it's lost in translation, are so poorly written. Everything about it's that way though.
It's really the worst thing I've ever read officially related to Persona tho. Most fanfics are better. Maybe it'll get better, but the core idea behind it's so stupid that I can't see myself looking into it anymore.
Generally, detectives detect. They don't go on raids and shit, that's NCIS fodder. Though yeah, it would be better if hers was ponytailed or something, but man she's got a motorbike persona this book has bigger problems
generally i've always thought the look of personas was really dumb sometimes. Tomoe having a giant smoochy thing on her helmet represents Chie's desire to be feminine or whatever but it looks dumb as shit

^She gets a new Persona, Mikaboshi, that part does sound lame.
One thing I like about that novel/manga Naoto is that she evolved from a Raidou Kuzunoha tribute to a Kyoji Kuzunoha tribute.

The worst parts of the light novel are the fan service parts.
OH NO, SOMEONE INTERRUPTED NAOTO IN THE SHOWER.
OH NO, RISE FORCES NAOTO TO DO A BIKINI PHOTOSHOOT
OH NO, NAOTO HAS TO WEAR A FEMALE SCHOOL UNIFORM AND GETS EMBARASSED.
All whilst having gigantic boobs, obviously.

I actually think Soejima's art for her is fine. As you'd probably expect, no giganto boobs either.

No question really. You gotta admit though, that Kyoji tribute is neat.

Forgot to post these, picked them up at Sac-Anime. It started out as a game between friends and since then, each con, we have to pick up one pack to see who got Teddie this time.
I actually don't really know much about light novels. I only heard of them through Persona x Detective.
Soejima illustrated for some though (Hilariously, not the Persona one), and his art was AMAAAAAAAZE.
Keychains? Kinda hate how random they are, I just want a Chie one without having to buy like 10 of them. ;p

It's part of the game. It started out as: "Oh hey, P4 package... Let's each grab one and see who we get... Damn I got Teddie but wanted Naoto, I'll try my luck again tomorrow since we're here at con for a weekend..." type of deal with my friends. Soon enough, 3 years and many cons later, it's still going strong. Sometimes, we don't even need a con, just an event and someone selling them and we buy them.
That said, I end up clipping mine to a zipper for my bags to identify it or put them on my keys, since that's what they're for.
Also, I think it's the first time that Dojima's been available for anything in terms of P4 merch.
What I don't like about Persona x Detective Naoto is that a lot of it's plot events are blatantly ripped off other fictional works. Plus it's really screwy with the plot of P3. Like... Kirjio Group people working as detectives? More androids, really? At least Labrys was hinted at in P3, these ones don't even make sense.
And then there's Ai Kurogami. If Dantis wants to see anime fanservicy robots, it doesn't get much worse than that.
The whole novel is basically awful. :\

Rank 9, his was another one of my favorites so I've ended up going alot further with his social link than with most of the others. You're right, they do compliment each other well, to see Nanako and Dojima gradually open up to each other and bond is one of the most heartwarming story lines I've experienced in a game. I suppose the reason I like Dojima's storyline so much is because I can empathize with Dojima a bit. When you lose people close to you, for some it's only natural to shield yourself away from others for a while, at least until you come to terms with things, which also made the dynamics of the relationship between Nanako and Dojima that much more believable and enjoyable.
It basically takes pace a year after Persona 4 with Naoto investigating the disappear of an old friend who is a blatant ripoff of a character from Kara no Kyoukai. And she has a detective/scientist who worked for the Kirijo Group on her side. And she has the help of two Anti Shadow Weapons as well.
Oh, and one of the Anti Shadow Weapons is a Genki Girl Junes Robot. Seriously.

I know all that, the setup, but what actually happens in it?
Wow, she looks even worse than Labrys.
*cough*
Naoto's partner is a robot dude.

She doesn't do anything I heard. She simply works at a Junes or something like that.
Naoto's eyes are weird here

Genki Girl is someone who is very enthusiastic/hyper.
Fantastic. Love characters like that.
I dunno. I refuse to read it out of disgust of how badly it ripped off the Nausverse. It's one thing to have a homage, it's another thing to rip a character off entirely to the point of plagiarism.
Genki Girl = CHEERFUL OVERHYPERACTIVE ALWAYS ON SUGER HAPPY GO LUCKY YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY~!

Oddly enough, I just unpacked the Chie figure yesterday after three years. So yes, 1 in 10 is approximately the right answer.
