    It just seems kinda weird in some of the scenes. Chie is Charlie's girlfriend but the story never seems to really reflect that. Did Jeff & Vinny just get that too quickly and it will appear late or does it really have no impact? If so, that's just a shame.

    That's pretty much it. I think of the slink as side stories but it would be nice if it can affect the story in some way. Problem is it may make the story a bit complex.

    Well, if you go for the True Ending, then all the people that you maxed out will pop up at one crucial point and say something. Other than that it won't affect much.

    nope, for a simple reason. That scene is a Anime cut-scene.

    I think he is talking about the part where they are in front of the train station before the train arrives.

    Chie:
        Oh, hey, I've been cleaning up my room lately. Since your room was so clean, I thought about following your example, (Name)-kun.
    Yukiko:
        You're right, (Name)-kun has a very clean room.
    Chie:
        ...You've been in his room too, Yukiko?
    Yukiko:
        ...You too, Chie?
        ......

    ^ Damn, I really hope they run into someone in the void quest this week. It blows my mind that they've fought all the optional bosses and still haven't seen anyone else in the dungeon.

    In my experience it is usually in that person's dungeon that you can run into them. For example, running into Chie in Yukiko's castle.

    Well what a coincidence, they ran into Kanji and Teddie in today's Endurance Run episode.
