I hated the
SEES fights
The Answer as a whole actually didn't bother me. I don't remember much about it, but I blasted through it, so I must have had some degree of fun.
The story was really negligible though.

So, today I was greeted to a Vita and P4G off my boyfriend. Although I have played Persona 4 before, I am really excited to play this. Time to sink another 80+ hours into this.
I'm slowly adapting to Chie's voice. It was really jarring when I first head it.

Two reasons: Like Arena, the justification is WEAK. It's not as bad as Arena because they have some degree of reason to fight, but it's still really fucking stupid. Comes out of nowhere too, not to mention everyone acting like the protagonist was their super best friend for everest.
Second reason is mechanical: You're forced to use Metis. I hadn't used Metis at all so I had to solo all the bastarding fights. It was difficult.
As an aside, the pairs made no sense. Mitsuru fighting Akihiko? Junpei fighting Yukari? Pfft.

Also, I'm sure I've heard a lot of people on here complain about it. :/
Hahaaaaa, I figured that because I was on very easy I'd whomp him once I hit 70.
NOPE.
I tried to fight him again once I hit the last dungeon, but it's such a bitch to actually find him.
*high five*
Brand New Days and Mass Destruction FES are also excellent.
you were unlucky. I fought the Reaper once and he spent 5 turns doing elemental breaks on everyone. By the time he stopped, he was almost dead
Yup. Bestest parts. I only wish I had made emulator saves for those parts like you did. The former is practically a nod to Persona 2 as well.
THIS IS YOUR OWN FAULT. She even has no weaknesses just so you'd use her. :|

So fine, I really did enjoy the answer quite a bit over the journey because it was more like classic megaten/persona. P4 is the journey done right, with much better pacing, an actual story for half the game, while having clear deadlines they werent oh nothing will happen at all until a full moon, there was much more to do, etc.
Mmm not really. There was no indication whatsoever that this fight was going to happen. It was really bad design.
You mean the 20 hour expansion that gave you a character with no weaknesses and a fairly good ability set wasn't enough of an indication that you should use her?
It's like Shinjiro in the main game. It just screams "USE ME!!!!!!!!" >.>

No.
And I didn't know her moveset (Still don't!). Is it that crazy that I'd choose these characters who I'd played through the game twice with over some new lame robot with a terrible personality and a neat design?
No.

How do you feel about people who wanted to stick with a single 3 team group in DDS1/2, you want to talk about no indication whatsoever, oh boy
Hahaaa, that's true.
It never dropped a character and then threw you into a boss fight though, there was always a dungeon beforehand.

and what of my character 10/20 levels behind
I'm with Dantis on this one. (No way!). I started my The Answer run using only the characters I already cared for cause, as I've said, I play favorites even if it kills me. I only suddenly swapped to Metis mid-Answer because someone tipped me off that I should do so. Would have been screwed otherwise.
10 - 20 levels is not even close to as bad as 55 levels. Especially with the way you can grind on DDS. Set your lead to hunting abilities and watch the AP roooooooll in.

Only happens once in P3, happens all the time in DDS1/2
I knew we were friends really.
In DDS1? I don't really remember it happening at all.
Also, by happening so often, you should be prepared for it. If it happens a few times near the beginning, it's giving you a hint of things to come.
In FES it throws you under a bus and expects you to stop the bus. Without using your arms.
Funny: I never really loved Metis (it was an okay character), but still, I kept her in my main party. That really paid off. Maybe it was because she had no weaknesses and Orgia Mode...? That saved my ass a few times, tbh, and Metis' was really good, not using HP/SP for spells.
Woot, classic original P4 party setup! Yosuke is still dying in two hits tho.
EXACTLY. It's like RPG 101 to use a character who's so overpowered, even if you don't like them! :|

With Shinjironess in there too somewhat
In my defense, I don't really play JRPGs. And when I do, I just use who I want.
In DDS, I used
Sera and Serph
People are just lazy. I got plenty, but I still got the impression that for every one I responded to, I had to wait a couple of battles before the favour was returned.
Wroooooooong. (Fire Emblem would like a word with you!) If no weakness was such an immediate advantage, I'd have used Shinji even once in all my P3 runs. Never have! Never used Orgia mode with her or Aigis either cause it almost always backfired on me.
Fire Emblem's mechanics encourage that tho. Stupid weird Fire Emblem.
I was getting a few hits every battle, but now it seems like I'm lucky to get one.
Also yay arts!

I think if you visit
Yukiko's Dungeon while trying to rescue Nanako
Our Princess is in another castle, dude
Ohhh I did it again. Whoops.
It's Void Quest actually, and yeah he says that if you tried to add/remove him from the party.
Think I'm around Yukiko's height or something.
EDIT: Er wait, think I'm more around Yu's height. Need to check my height again.
Hope you don't mind if I steal that~

Lost a tiny bit of progress, now at right before the school trip to the big city. You know the one, could be worse.
To avoid slight embarrassment, I'll just say I'm on the taller end of that image.
