Yes. It is absurdly easy.
I don't know. By today's standards, it could very well be considered very hard.
You recommend re-starting? I'm 5 and 1/2 hours in.
So you're about an hour out of the intro!
You can restart, and just skip the whole intro again. Really not much ground to retread gameplay-wise.
Very hard is turning out to be very very grindy. Takes a long time to get the levels you need. However, the changes to fusing and skill cards mean it's very easy to get ridiculously strong Persona for the MC.
That being said, I have another tip for anyone else treading the waters of very-hard :O
Try and fuse a Sarasvati (17 priestess) or Ame no Uzeme (18 Aeon) as soon as possible. Sarasvati has Null Ice, and is only weak to Elec. She gets Invigorate II at 19 and Null Elec at 23. I tend to stick with her a lot in regular P4, gonna try her out here as well. Ame no Uzeme gets Invig I at 20. Having either Invigorate will alleviate most of your SP concerns on the MC, as you can head to floor 1 of the castle with solo MC and just spam guard against one enemy to get max SP in no time.
That's because you've not seen how insanely powerful you get as you go on.
I didn't even have to use an SP item for the final boss, because Rise just kept refilling it. It is madness.
Personally, I wouldn't. I love my game timers, and if you restart, you'll be skipping everything and the timer will be ruined!
I think I'd probably blast through on very easy, then do new game plus on normal, with all my nice costumes and gained knowledge and whatnot. But you're not far in, it's a 70 hour game, so restarting is an option.
Wow. Victory Cry mid-battle. haha. Talk about a broken game!
It doesn't fill up to full, mind. I think it's like a quarter or something? But when it happens multiple times, it's enough.
I went into the velvet room twice.
Necro, that's a shame. I wish people could enjoy 2 as much as me
Bad times.
You and Dantis have each other. I'm not permanently putting it on the shelves, I might return to it after I complete TOR; I'll probably return to it during the winter break. If I do return, I'll make a lovely LTTP post, and we can gush about it as I tether into madness because of the gameplay. :-D
I'll shoot for these tonight. Looking forward to having Invigorate II.
Haha, maybe by the time you finish it, Atlus US will have actually announced a localisation of EP.
At 107 dB/mW, that is way efficient. That is an awesome deal! I tried to do a search on the site, but no luck. I'm a headphonaholic.
I would say that you run full spectrum music (classical, jazz) through them when you aren't using the 'phones. Break 'em fully in. Somewhat related, EVH breaks in the speakers on his amps via full on feedback with his guitar propped against the amp for something like a week. I think that might be too much for headphones.

Anyone else dig the night town theme?
Btw how do you get the jewels for the stuff at the Bar? Just monster drops?

I want this to happen... badly.
Well, I was more concerned about IS being localized, since I never got to play it way back when. But I'd love to have EP, then we would have the entire Persona collection available on the Vita!
That's good to hear! I know only a little about headphones, so I really just stumbled into this deal. I actually saw them hanging on a rack under a $39.99 price tag, so I asked about them, and the guy said they were $62. I remembered reading about these headphones back when I was doing research, and recalled them being pretty good, and rather expensive, so I picked them up immediately.
Thanks for the tip about the classical. I have a few CDs of Classical, so I'll do just that.

Maybe doing the first dungeon in one go on Very Hard isn't such a good idea, haha. That's what I usually did when I played the PS2 version on Hard, so I figured it'd work out here.
But man it's turning out to be a test of endurance unless I grind for treasures.
(I'm still enjoying it. Feels good.)

Was playing Yukikos castle today, got about 5 floors in and got my ass handed to me. I thought I lost all the progress but the game prompted me to restart the floor. Was that in the original?

Nope it was not guy above me.
Me, CJ, and Dantis should start a P2 Is Cool club

No. It's in every mode now except Very Hard.
I can see why they did it for the handheld market though.

Nope. But I think you could restart at bottom.
Forgot how hard it is before you got yukiko to heal.

Guess I've gotta come back here on a rainy day or a day where I'm not planning on doing S. Links (probably 4/21 because I want to eat at Aiya on the rainy days). Luckily I'm at the boss door at Lv 17 so that's fine. I simply have very little SP left. :lol
I like how the mode's making me modify my playstyle. Hard modes in other games don't make me do that. I love how it's genuinely hard. :3

No. Have you ever watched the movie Drive? There is a part in an elevator where he stomps on a guy's face until it becomes mush. I want to do this to Erin- Chie.
I do sometimes too! But it fits a kungfu movie buff better than the old one
She is at her absolute worse when she is imitating Yosuke, or talking all excitedly. So cringe-worthy!

Here is a link regarding speaker break in. I am more of a musician/songwriter than audiophile, so that may color my approach to headphone break in.

Anything to help a fellow P4 fan, especially a ゆきこ　aficionado.
She wasn't annoying at all as Quark! Why is she so bad here?

Hahaha. Not gonna lie, I enjoyed what came up in Google images when I searched that. :}

Interesting how the Chie Army gave way to the Yukiko Brigade. Can I be the head of the Spookies Battalion?
Yukiko is a jewel in the dunghill that is Golden Chie.
Haha, it sucks, because I still love Chie as a character. I just wish I could turn her voice off. =(

It's logical because at Junes everyday is Customer Appreciation day. Everyday's great at your Junes! ♫
It starts getting pretty easy kind of quick. I started on hard, given I've heard it's easier than P4 proper and I've played that already I though I'd bump it up. Yukiko's dungeon was kind of tough for me. Mainly due to the fact that I went for it all in one go, didn't have many SP items, and you don't have Fox's healing at the time.
Kanji's
Probably would tell her that she's using Junes as substitute for her dead mother, put her on meds and she won't be the happy little girl singing anymore!
HAMA, PLEASE HIT THE WEALTH HAND

Is it really necessary to Hama it? My party is ~ lvl 17 and I just physical rush them until it crits, than I all out or start attacking the other hands if there's multiple. I kill them at least 80% of the time, especially if I get a tag-team attack.
Sad truth.

Question about Marie: when do you get to hang out with her?
Just about as soon as you're free to play the game, but it seems you need to enter the Velvet Room twice.
Fairly quick. At some point fairly early, April 18th for me, you just walk into the Velvet Room and that starts an event that you can jumpstart the Marie SL. After they talk to you, you just hit "Check on Residents" in the Velvet Room and than hit "Hear Marie's Request". After that, she appears outside next to the VR Door in the shopping district when you can S.Link.
