Getting the "conclusive" ending can be a little tricky.
I chose wrong on ONE of the responses (iirc it was "Why is he scared" which I thought would lead to more conversation) and got the "Nanako lives but you don't find out the ultimate truth" ending the first time. I didn't know that it was one of the "bad" endings but luckily realized I hadn't maxed two auto-rank up s.links in Teddie and the Investigation Team so I reloaded and tried again taking the opposite tack and throwing the guy into the TV. Well that left Nanako dead and the s.links still not maxed so I knew that was even worse than my initial gut instinct and reloaded again until I had navigated the choice minefield successfully. I'll agree that choosing the correct culprit wasn't hard at all (it's pretty much spelled out for you as only one person fits all the criteria). BTW did anyone else have horrific flashbacks to Ruby Weapon when the end boss did her final "Curse" attack?

Chie for Teddie? How good is Teddie in combat?
Ug I just got SMT'd bad
I was grinding a bit in Dungeon5 because I seem pretty underleveled based upon the trash mobs. I was grinding for like 1h15m and was ready to portal out. I got into my final battle with those hulk hogan looking guys, down to the last one with only a few HP left. I use a physical attack on him, uses high counter, kills my MC.

For a hint, just stall for time in each one of your answers.
Explicitly,
just pick the answers like "We're missing something," "Hold on," etc. And you'll be on the route for the normal ending. The True Ending doesn't matter until 3/20, where all you have to do is talk to each one of the S-Links you maxed and then chose "No" when prompted to go home and just go from there.
I just finished the Void Quest dungeon today. Fusing a Black Frost was really awesome, but unfortunately, my Magician S. Link wasn't high enough to level him up all the way until he learned Agidyne. So, I had to stick with Mind Charge + Agilao, but I was still doing 300+ damage with it.

I knew Yukiko kept her Ice weakness, but Teddie still keeps his Electricity weakness? Yikes. It's a bit problem late game when considering that enemies stop throwing Ice Spells so much, but some major bosses are quite found of All-Hitting Electricity Spells.
Speaking of party members, how is Naoto? I was planning on subbing out Yosuke and Yukiko for somebody else for variety's sake during New Game + (I love Chie too much to give her up in any playthrough).
I used just about everyone but Kanji in the game, and I'll use him next time instead of Yosuke since I really didn't like how Yosuke progresses (and didn't like the character either). In terms of overall effectiveness, Naoto isn't too bad, mainly due to the game making instant death spells work more often than they did in P3 (unless you had Samsara/Die for Me! with the respective boosts) but I felt like Naoto's persona had some weird skill progression. I wound up abandoning its physical attacks and sticking with the instant death spells, hama/mudo boost, mind charge, and megidolaon.
However, the party I beat the game with was Chie, Yukiko and Teddie. It's kind of redundant to have two healers there, but Yukiko can also be made into a very effective fire mage (which is what I did, stacking fire boost/amp on her and dropping single target heals). Teddie was one I kept just for buffs. I really never found a great 4th party member in P4, but somehow I bet if I'd used Kanji I'd have found him to be awesome. The main thing is between Yukiko and Teddie, I could fully heal my group with one of them (and also with the MC if really necessary, but for the last few fights he was basically on buff/debuff duty) and Teddie also gets matarukaja/marakukaja, so I was able to keep my party in good shape, even if Teddie didn't really contribute a lot of damage to the fights.
Chie is just great though. She was easily my best damage dealer, and also easy to keep alive due to her high HP and no weaknesses when her link is maxed.
I'm still disappointed there was nobody with debuffs. If they'd dropped some of the crappier physical skills on personas that didn't need them to do something like add rakunda/tarunda/sukunda to characters, I would've probably found characters like Yosuke and Naoto more useful. and it's not like Yosuke can't be made into a decent wind mage, but beyond dekaja and masukukaja, that's all he really brings.

GAF has always had a huge Atlus fanbase, especially so for the Persona series. Plus it helps that Persona 4 is really awesome. In fact, this is actually the 2nd Persona official thread :lolForkball said:

I use Naoto in my party and that character is very useful. I never had any problems even on bosses. Mind Charge+Megidolaon = Pwn. Repeat pwnage.
Great physical attacker too.

I'm trying to make the Archangel Persona. I've got the guide, and it says to use Angel, Slime, and Ukobach. When I try to do a triangle fusion with these three, I don't get Archangel, I get different Personas. What am I doing wrong?
The guide also says that Slime and Ikobach should be maxed out in their levels. How do I check if they are maxed out?

I kinda consider Naoto the worst character in the game, battle wise (Well. Plot wise, too, but that's neither here or there. :lol ) Mamudoon and Mahamaon are the main draws, and if you're hitting instant kill weaknesses, Mahama and Mamudo are more than enough. If you're not hitting weaknesses, Die For Me! and Samasara are better choices. And Almighty spells are WAY too much buck for not nearly enough bang. I'd much rather have that slot occupied with someone that can contribute to normal battles and won't be useless for boss fights.

I'm guessing you're asking how to fuse max social link personas. Just check the higher level fusions (5 personas, 6, sometimes even 4 I think), it'll tell you what you need for each one. (Some are just more powerful, but if you remember the names or whatever, you'll see how to make them)

OT:
I don't read the tarot cards or anything, but wouldn't it be cool if you could buy a tarot card deck with the arcana designs in the P3/P4 games? I would keep it around just for the novelty factor.

so i don't have one of those items that lets you teleport out of the dungeon. i'm at a mid-boss, but would rather not fight it yet. if i walk all the way down to exit and come back later, can i return to the highest floor i've been to? or would i have to climb all the way back up?
You can always go to the highest floor you've reached. Except for when you've already beaten the boss and are going after the optional boss. You'll have to climb again (but after you enter the first time after the optional boss shows up, you can always return to the highest floor you reached, even if the optional boss isn't beaten.)dfyb said:

So, I finally beat the mid-boss in Dungeon 4.
Wound up over leveling since I had an annoying loss the first time I fought it. I got up to Floor 9, so hopefully I can clear out this Dungeon pretty soon.
I'm so glad to be past the floors with that damn floating box that would kill the entire party.

Argh when I stopped playing I was in the middle of the last month so I cannot wait to get on a plane and finish this sucker...
PROS:
+ Is it just me or does this game have some of the best plot and character development since Mother 3? Whoever writes the scenario for Persona improved astronomically between 3 and 4. So many funny, almost profound moments:
CONS:
- Maybe because I'm playing on Expert, but I feel like the tuning on some of these boss battles is a little off compared to P3. I'm consistently underlevelled for some of the later bosses. I got to the November boss at level 50 and it one one-shot my entire party with Maziodyne. It really left me with no choice but to grind, something I've never had to do in a SMT game. Part of it is that Makarakarn/Magic Mirror breaks some of the later fights so bad it's not funny (
).
This is the game of forever!

Yeah, 50 is...MASSIVELY underleveled for the November boss. I was 43 at the 4th dungeon my first time through, and the only time I grinded was right at the top of that dungeon, from 42 (where I was from just naturally fighting everything) to 43 (so Yukiko could get Mediarama)noi5e said:

I played it on normal, and P3 on normal was much much harder than P4 on normal. A lot of those midbosses were brutal. I found P4 to be pretty damn easy, and the only boss I ever died on was the first bonus boss in Yukiko's dungeon. I didn't do any extra grinding other than to redo each dungeon to reach the bonus boss and to do all the quests.
