Did anyone notice that wild card fusions happened a lot more often in P4 than P3? I got somewhat mega pissed because I forgot to save before going into the velvet room and I spent 10 or 15 mins making a pretty good Satan and the fucker drew a wild card on me. Got some shitty level50 fool persona. I punched Igor in his massive nose.

I've had three. The first one was a level 30 Persona for a level 50 decambria (Or whatever that fool starfish eye is). The next two were downgrades. Big time.Volcynika said:

I've had about 4. 2 of them happened one after another.
3 accidents for me, all of them severe dissappointments.
One of them was even a fusion I had spent a good 10 minutes backing out of/into.
edit: according the gfaqs, the chance for an accident in a two persona fusion is 1/64, and for a 3 persona fusion it is 1/32

finally beat the final boss. He is a bastard, even after I understood that attack.

equip the MC with a void box or else there is a chance of being fucked with nothing you can do. The boss gets two attacks, so attack 1 -> World's End which puts multiple status effects on your entire party followed by attack 2 -> yuma is just devastating depending on what randomly happens during World's End. Aside from equipment like void box there seems to be nothing stat/persona wise that can defend against that.

If you're not using buffs/debuffs liberally, you're making the game waaaaaay harder on yourself. Buffs/debuffs are incredibly crippling in P3 & P4. Heck, when she tried World's End, she only managed to inflict Chie thanks to Masukukaja.slayn said:
I use buffs, just not that one because I prefer surefire strategies where I can predict the outcome. That is still just depending on luck. You have no way of knowing if only Chie got hit thanks to Masukukaja, or if you just got lucky. On average, I would say only one person got hit with a status effect when the attack was used on me. It just so happened I was getting unlucky and it was usually the MC that got hit.RocketDarkness said:
edit:
and come to think of it, I usually had that heat rise buff on the MC, so Masukukaja wouldn't have done anything since it wouldn't stack to my knowledge.

If the boss is spamming that attack over and over, just have the MC guard each round. Guarding makes you 100% immune to status effects (Book of the Void can still get you poisoned).
boss looked like an 'it' to me after removing the illusion 
This I did not know, and wish I had known half an hour ago. But its over now anyway.

I wish someone could make a picture of all the main characters with those freaking nose and glasses.

Yeah, I'll do that. one or two days of grinding should bring me to level 60 and I might be able to get some new personas while doing it so yeah, it's a bit of a shame since I wanted to spend more time doing S-Links but I just can not beat it right now.
I think I did something pretty stupid though with Teddy I switched one of his new skills for mediarama so he doesn't have mediarama anymore (I figured Yukiko + Mc would be enough but I now realize that was quite stupid of me ). As for SP items, I only have the ones that give 10 sp back I don't have any that give 50 Sp back and well, they can't be bought.
The reason why my all crew's SP is so low is because I use teddie's everyone atack that is very expensive spwise, Yosuke is the only one that has potent wind attacking spell and Yukiko doubles up as my main attacker and main healer. As for MC well, he adapts to the situation but he often uses the sacarecam that is also ver yexpensive SPwise

Yeah, I had Naoto and Kanji show up together, which was fairly funny, and they each give you a pretty good item.slayn said:
Edit: I've grinded my way up to level 88, just five more levels to go then I can fuse those last two bastards. The leveling is really getting slow now though. I'm only getting 900 exp for every battle.

Thankfully, I seem to be getting the Upright Moon a bit more regularly, and by that, I mean I've seen it twice in this dungeon of the five times I've encountered it.Vorador said:

Every time I see Chie in the dungeon, she gives me her muffin :3
this isn't really game related, but I kind of want to bitch about the soundtrack CD. it's nice to get one for free included with the game, and I mostly liked the songs on it, but I really wish we could've gotten the Dojima residence music instead of aria of the soul. especially because aria of the soul wasn't changed at all from P3, so if you bought P3 and got the soundtrack, it's like having a worthless duplicated track.
and one thing I noticed about the game is that I think I liked how mundane a lot of the normal activities were. P3 had a lot of mundane stuff, too, but it always had some kind of weird Tokyo pop culture edge to it that made it seem like it wasn't trying to come off as boring. It was easier for me to relate to P4's boring shit to do in Inaba, and it made a lot of the events feel more like something an actual high school student would do. I think it also made the investigations feel more important by making them stand out so much from stuff like part time jobs, or the "event" in the summer where you can work at Junes. I guess it feels silly to say that since a lot of the events are basically canned still location with some generic NPCs running around, a little animated conversation, and then a "you finished up whatever it was you were doing and went home," but it still felt like it was more in place with everyday life.

There's also a special sword you can get from the fishing guy in December that double's the exp you'll receive while it's equipped.

Just get two guardians. You should already have one if you maxed the Fox link. I only fished twice during my play through.crowphoenix said:

I'd do that, but I'm already on the last day. I can go beat the final boss at any time, I'm just trying to get those last 5 levels so I can summon the last two persona.Big Icarus said:

Does that stack with the armor that raises it by 50%?
man fuck Kanji. I leveled him all the way so that he learns all his abilities and...
he never once learns an attack-all physical move!!
wtf?!?! for the game's stereotypical high-attack low-magic character he doesnt even deliver!!
Chie on the other hand has God Hand and that attack-all meteor move, plus Power Charge and Tarakuja.
Even Naoto has powerful attack-all skills. Main dood + Chie + Naoto + attack-all physical skills = guaranteed Mamudo in dungeons. Then have Yukiko for the healing assist and you're set.

Yeah I felt very powerful towards the end with my MC using Belile (spelling is completely off there) who had a heavy attack-all and I fused him with both of Tam Lin's auto skills so I would start with +ATK/DEF and just have all my characters use their attack-all physical and it pretty much killed every trash encounter in one turn.

I've got to mix up my party. I've been sticking with Yuikiko, Chie and Yoskue. Naoto looks good... I've completely left Kanji out of my party and I've been trying to bring Teddie in.
Kanji's follow-up attack is freaking awesome, though. But yeah, definitely bring Naoto in for random battles.BlueTsunami said:
I just like to keep Teddie levelled up in case I run into a boss or something that mainly uses ice attacks, and then I'll still have an available healer. Also, Amrita.

Man, I tell you something. If I ever get sick in Inaba, I am requesting a goddamn transfer to a city hospital where people know what they are fucking doing. How many S-Links in this game have someone dying at the hospital? The doctors are very good at saying "Sorry we are doing/have done all we can..."
Take me to Port Island pls thx

yeah I though the first two dungeons were very hard. Then it got easier once I got used to everything and now I'm rolling through, even the bosses aren't too challenging anymore.
I remember on Persona 3 I had to retry bosses at least three times, sometimes up to 10. With Persona 4 I've found that I've only had to retry bosses a couple of times and usually I'll get it by the second try.
