Every member has bits of assholism in them, but they would all die for each other, they are all true friends by the end, you can't really argue that.
When Chie was like
seriously Yosuke stop being a dick to Kanji that stuff is not cool
Yosuke's a likable character for the most part but damn did that get old. Even worse in Arena.
Afraid he's going to rape you, dude? Seriously?

I did manage to correctly navigate around the bad end my first time, but I didn't know about the true ending. The actions required to reach it are a bit unintuitive.

But Yosuke is a dick to everyone why is Kanji the only one he is being called out for? Likewise, Chie is a dick to Yosuke and physically hits him. Everyone has moments like that, the only one who doesn't really is Naoto, Kanji acts like a total dick to Rise.
Yosuke gets more flack because his brand of dickishness regarding Kanji tends to hit on the sensitive topic of homosexuality. It doesn't bother me because as you noted before he's a dick to everyone and they all do genuinely care for each other in the end. I can understand why it bothers some people; especially if you consider that some fans still interpret Kanji as possibly being bisexual.
There's problems with how he acts towards a few other characters too, particularly anyone and everyone with a vagina, but his attitude towards Kanji seems to be the most played up. Yosuke mocking Kanji was constant and emphasized and frankly not funny. Chie acting like a dick to Yosuke was more often than not in retaliation to him being a dick to her. And off the top of my head I don't remember Kanji being a dick to Rise? And the strange thing is this post doesn't even come close to the number of times I've said "dick" consecutively.
No, not really. The SOS feature is your best bet. The SP limit is supposed to be an anti-grinding mechanism. You'll get the ability to replenish SP in exchange for cash later.
If you're in the sauna, then the Fox should be there to talk to. Otherwise, 1st floor of the first dungeon usually has 50 SP items.
Just farm mobs you can one shot in like Yukiko's Castle. Blowing all your money on the Fox is never a good idea.
How long will take you to earn another 19800? ;p
wait
i can go to yukiko castle again?
how?
Talk to party members at the entrance of the TV world, you'll get an option to travel to his/her dungeon. Optional extra bosses pop up there too.

Talk to Chie or Yukiko in the lobby area. You should be able to one shot the enemies on the lower floor and farm shuffle time for money and SP. Some of the mobs also drop SP restoring items, as do the chests.
adachi is the only one in the lobby, how can i get chie in there?
edit: lol i just found a funky student in the school, what's up with him? xD
wait

how?
Beware of the
bonus Shadow boss. His Rampage puts out a truckload of DPS that your party will be lucky to survive unless you are over-leveled. Thankfully you can go an entire fight sometimes without him using it
Fiiiiinally completed my Golden playthrough. It feels so good coming back to this game since it was released way back on the PS2.
Got the True Ending and Epilogue. Man, I have never smiled and laughed so much at a game in my entire life. I love it.
You are forever in my heart P4G.

And Shadow
goes down on my first attempt. Pretty rough, but waaaaay easier than the Void Quest boss before it.
Sorry Kanji, your ass is finally getting dumped from the party. You've been more useful than in my vanilla P4 playthrough though!
Secret Lab beaten at 66:33, level 45. I'm sure a certain someone is waaaay higher than I am. >_>

I'm on my second playthrough, 96 hours and just got Naoto. Fused Izanagi-no-Okami and GOT DAYUM is he beastly. How are people building him?
I missed the second athlete-exlusive book so I'm going to have to go into a third playthrough for the platinum.
Started the anime...laughed out loud at the callbacks to the game. Fantastic.

You know in the time it took you to beat that boss I've not only finished P4G but have already cleared almost half of Persona 3 Portable? o_o
I'm taking my sweeeeeet assssss tiiiiiiiiiime.
Well, I AM playing FES with a friend right this moment. Getting re-used to these old controls takes effort!

I'm 63 hours into my first play through on Hard, and it is mid-September. MC is level 59 and everyone else is mid 50s. I taking my time because I keep fusing and running out of money. Hard mode reduces the money you earn in battles, I should just aim for completing the Compendium in NG+, where I can just tweak the money rewards.
On the plus side, I've got Power/Mind Charge on a lot of Personas!

Almost 80 hours in. I assume I'm near the end of the game. Playing the PS2 version. I just beat the
Man, such a fun game. I'm definitely going to watch the anime after this, and I'll probably end up playing Persona 3.
Which version of Persona 3 is the best? I heard Persona 4 evolved on some things so it might be weird regressing gameplay wise.
Heaven dungeon, and man that boss was a bitch. I would have wiped if I didn't have Tam Lin's Enduring Soul ability.

Which could you make do without the most?
Direct party control? Then FES.
Anime cutscenes and overworld exploration? Then P3P.
FES also plays better on the PS2 if I understand previous discussions properly.

If you want to stay as close to P4 as possible, Persona 3 Portable is the only way to go. It contains most of the upgraded system mechanics from 4 (like directly controllable party) as well as a few call-forwards to 4. It's presentation isn't as good as FES though and it lacks "The Answer" epilogue from the same, but it's your call really. Both are excellent games.
My rec is play through FES on easy then Portable as a girl. Suffering through the command-party-members bullshit isn't too bad on easy because you can spec around it, and when you're down P3P's direct party control will be a freaking relief.
The 'hit square for teleport menu' is so good though. Mah gawd.

Sounds like a good idea, thanks.

Getting close to 100 hours, now into a 2nd playthrough. New to Persona. This game has made me a Persona addict. It got me to purchase both P4 Arena and P3 FES. I also picked up the incredible art book of P4 released by Udon. The anime is awesome as well, but I refuse to buy the Blu-ray sets since they're missing the JP track. I need more P4 things to buy!
That's the one benefit we get from having to wait longer for the blu-ray sets in Europe - dual audio tracks. Gives me an excuse to watch it twice, anyway.
Got a copy of this for my birthday and the game is absolutely engrossing. Normally I play portable titles in shorter bursts but I've been picking up P4 and finding trouble putting it down hours later. My Ni no Kuni and XCOM campaigns have been completely disrupted.
Just made it to Kanji's arc and enjoying pretty much everything about the game: combat, social links, setting, characters, presentation. It's all really great.
I've generally ignored the SMT / Persona series for no particularly good reason in the past but that will no longer be the case going forward. As soon as the current backlog is tamed somewhat I plan on picking my way back through the series.

Buy this Disco Ninja Frog action figure. I did, and it was worth every penny. Best Persona who isn't Trismegistus.
Past the culture festival. I didn't really mind the additional animated cutscene for the amagi inn scene, though I could have done without
The rest is pretty much an animated version of the same thing that happens in the subsequent scene.
Eye'm ready to catch da killa.
the cliche'd "breast jiggle" sound at the very end of it.

More things to buy, you say? Start collecting figures. You'll never run out of stuff to buy.
