It is absolutely possible on normal. I did every dungeon in a day when I played through P4G back in June.
Played a little more of this last night. Very Easy is hilarious. I'm gaining money like you wouldn't believe and levelling at a crazy rate. Just done the
Shadow Chie
Lame. Bad luck, pal. :/

Yep, I've been one daying every dungeon on Normal. I don't see how this wouldn't be possible when those vending machine drinks restore 55 SP a pop
I still feel like I'm wasting all of my time outside of dungeons, though.
Like, I've had to spend time with Nanako like 5 times just to get her to rank 3, even with a Justice persona, what the hell?
My highest S. Links are rank 5 with Chie and Yukiko, I have a couple at 4, a lot of them at 3... and I'm on June 7th
Also reading books takes way too long

Are you equipping a Persona of the same arcana when you do your S Links (As in, have it in your party, doesn't need to be active)? That makes S Links increase faster.

I have one for most of the ones I am working on. Actually I think it's really just Nanako that's going stupid slow... well, and Dojima, but I don't have a hierophant persona for him so that makes sense.
Yukiko's and Chie's has gone up pretty fast.
I've been trying to raise other stats as well. I've raised knowledge, courage, and expression twice, but I've only raised dilligence and understanding once.
I just feel my social links should be higher than they are right now, idk.
It's voiced in the JP version.
My copy finally made its way from Canada to Blighty just before I'm off on holiday so pleased as punch though did worry a bit by the amount of french language on the box. I've been grinning from ear to ear so far by how vibrant everything looks on the vita compared to what I remember being a bit washed out on the PS2 and I've only been viewing the TV Listings bit.
After feeling like this has been a year of disappointing releases, sequels and remakes (bar MGS HD and Okami) I'm smitten with P4G so far.

Caved it and waiting impatiently on my import. EU-release can *********@*$DI1!!!
Perfect winter game right here. Not waiting for those incompetent fools to bring it over, they blew every inch of goodwill with the P4A situation.

Yeah, you have to switch to Skill Cards pretty early if you want to keep Izanagi.
I'm playing an Izanagi-only run since I did a "Mostly Orpheus Only" run waiting for this game.
Loving that you don't have to actually rely on other Personas for Skill Cards anymore. I havn't switched Persona the entire game.
Also, being able to reorder skills at will is a godsend. I'm picky enough that I had to clone all my cards in P3P and then reteach Orpheus skills in the order I wanted them listed.

Also I have to agree that Chie's voice was annoying early on... but it's growing on me. I like it (I've never heard her original voice)

The downside is that the saves are rolled into the game data, so if you delete the bubble you delete the saves too. However, there is a way round that: pay for PlayStation Plus and use Cloud Saving.
In general Personas only learn new skills for the next few levels. They also level very slowly so you're forced to make new ones all the time.
Or just copy the game data onto your PC/PS3.
It could become an issue if you don't use a particularly big memory card, because if you delete the bubble, it takes your saves for that game along with it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's been feeling this way all year.
I think Virtue's Last Reward and Persona 4: Golden are the only games I've fallen completely in love with in 2012. Shame I don't like putting ports / enhanced ports on GotY lists. There've been games I've liked and others that I liked a lot, but not as much as I do these.
PS we have French labels because of this and this, lol. It just gets annoying with Nintendo of Canada who decides to slap this huge "playable in French" label on the box which obscures the boxart.

A lot of stuff's different, even right down to some of the regular enemies (ex: one was originally weak against Garu and now it's weak against Hama).
Next Monday night.
Because Newegg is usually UPS.
They shipped the games Tuesday.
3-day shipping would have it arrive on Thanksgiving.
UPS doesn't deliver on Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and weekends.
Which drinks are these? I've only ever seen 5 or 10 SP a drink.

Galactic Punt -> All Out Attack -> Twin Dragons!!!
This is what I love about Persona 4. Battles feels like such a team effort. Everyones helping each other out.
That last battle I had was player advantage and I got some SOS help. I love this game.

Yeah, I leave everybody except MC on "Act Freely."
Only being in direct control of "myself" gives the characters more personality and, I think, fits the theme of the game more.

You can just put in your tracking number on the actual UPS site for an exact delivery estimate. Mine shipped out from newegg on Tuesday as well but it's not getting here until Tuesday next week.
Heh. Eventually Yosuke died and I just let him stay down. Fuck that guy. GET OVER YOUR LIGHTNING WEAKNESS MAN. I got the boss down low enough to where he'd just Fanatical Spark > Spirit Drain > Melee Attack > Enrage over and over again, but MC could outheal it since I had Invigorate 2, half the melee attacks would miss, and enrage never hit him.
Speaking of Invigorate 2, I'm pretty sure MC should be COMPLETELY set on SP now as I'm heading in to the strip club. Sarasvati now has Invig 1 and Invig 2. I took my Ame-no-Uzeme to the Chagall Cafe in Okina and got his Invig 1 card. 8 SP a turn, yo.
Also got Fox to level 5 or 6, hopefully he should be a little cheaper D:
Gonna try to grin and bear it and grind up to level ~35 or so for the bosses here though. Womp womp.

As someone playing on very hard I think that would cause me to light my vita on fire.
Hell even on normal that would drive me NUTS on certain fights.
Godspeed.
It's easily my favourite JRPG combat. Feels so slick and modern, and I really like the little touches like the party cheering each other on when they do well.
Feels weird but persona 3/4 combat feels like the way I wanted pokemon combat to evolve and improve once I got old enough that those games became insanely easy.
Also I guess fox requests changed? I buttoned through the first ema since I'm a dumbass and now have ZERO idea what to do.
Whoops!
They did? I thought they were the same.
Also, it'll never happen (Slick and modern is not Nintendo), but a Pokemon game with the same kind of presentation and polish to its combat as Persona would be boss.
Either they changed them or the first one is not the same as the first one I remember
Meat gum/weird snack soul is what I REMEMBER the first one being, the first one now is a "I wish for love" "A girl wishes to have things go well with the boy she likes"
Nope, that's the same. I dunno if the order is switched, but that was definitely in the original.
I remember it being the first one in the original too.
If I remember corectly the 2nd ema is the meatgum, diet lady and the 1st is the girl who puts a note in your locker at school by mistake
Sigh. I'm trying to one-day dungeons on hard mode, but
is really making it hard for me. It's like he's forcing me to leave and buy a bunch of team heals and poison/rage antidotes. Damn him.
No they weren't. It's actually a feature I like. It makes Shuffle time much more rewarding.

So, I looked this up to show you all, because I think it's just hilarious.
Basically, a while ago I came across some Youtube comment where some guy had written these silly lyrics for Specialist. Since I saw it, I hear the lyrics every time I hear the song.
Check it (For reference, this is Specialist):
Lyrics:
That final line cracks me up.

Still in my first hour of play time. Chie's voice is driving me nuts. She sounds like the older sibling of whoever voiced Quark in Virtue's Last Reward. She OVER acts! Ev-er-y-thing!!!!! It's kind of a shame because I can tell the voice actor is putting forth an honest effort, but ffs somebody should have reeled her in. I'm debating shutting off voices but I actually like the others (despite the bear thing sounding kind of same-y), especially Nanako. This is why I wish there was the option for the Japanese VA.

Finally tracked down a copy yesterday! It was one that someone had pre-ordered, but not picked up yet, and I convinced the dude to just let me have it because "if they haven't come yet, they're probably not coming"! I haven't started it yet, but how long do I need to set aside for the opening of this game (ie. how long before I reach a save point?) I have about an hour or so here before I need to drive the g/f to work...is that enough time to get a little into this game?
