I vote that whatever you do (hang with the bitch, hang with the bitch, hang with the bitch!) you make it a longer episode. The dungeon episodes are always so much longer that the social linking episodes, and right now I'm just relieved that you're out of the dungeons for the time being.

Too much fighting.

Note to Vinny and Jeff:

A lot of enemies in the next dungeon are weak to either Hama or Mudo. Be sure to bring personae that have Mudoon+Mudo Boost (Mot learns Mudo Boost at Lvl 50) and Hamaon+Hama Boost (Throne).

Too many Ai haters - her bitchiness is what makes her interesting. Plus it seems like good drama for the endurance run (not the depressing kind with drama girl)

I've tried to finish Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga, but I just keep getting distracted by persona. First it was P3FES and yesterday, despite my best attempts not to, I started playing P4. DDS is just so complicated with all it's different spells (got earth and force magic as well as the Persona 3/4 types) and it's just not as exiting to play. Not saying it isn't a good game, but it doesn't draw me in like the Persona games. I can't stop playing those.

In order to get a "cute fish", you must catch a red goldfish. They are most found on sunny days as, since small fish are likely to appear on sunny days

I meant to post this the other day, but kept forgetting.  If you want to save some future money on Goho-m you can pull sandman out of the compedium which is a pretty low level persona, and probably within a couple of fights level him to the point where he learns the same spell teddie has that will let you jump out of the dungeon at any time.  It costs you a persona slot, but gives you a lot more flexibility for going back and saving and / or fusing to keep more slots open in the dungeon.

It's about the journey not the destination lol. But yeah, the scene could've been better but it works well in conjunction with Nanako's.

Well if you are going to read comment advice I might as well attempt to give some. I'd personally say don't bother with redoing Naoto's dungeon. You probably aren't going to use her so you don't need her weapon and you guys are doing just fine level-wise. Not to mention I think viewers would enjoy more of a break from fighting.

 If you are unsure on a S.Link to work on you can always max Understanding. Which allows you to start the tutor job which is the Tower social link. One of the best Persona for the last boss is of the Tower arcana, Yoshitsune. He's not necessary, but it's certainly helpful for a rather difficult final battle.

You guys should probably try to focus on getting the Tower SLink started, the tutoring job,  it'll give you another option for something to do during the night.

I didn't know that optional bosses don't turn up until after the person recovered. Good to know. =)

Ai's social link is kinda funny. Or at least it was for me because the second I claimed she was going to do something (jokingly) she actually did it. xD Almost. Anyone who's see through that social link knows what I'm talking about. Only ever got up to Rank 6 with her though.

Anyways, great episode! Grind on Nanako's going to be echoing every time I spend a precious moment with her.

How about checking out that beefed up Hierophant persona you can make now?  What's the point of maxxing Dojima if we can't see what it takes to make that thing?

i wanna see you guys hang out with yukiko. it may or may not get you something cool, i have no idea, but i'm sure it will be a fun scene nonetheless. also, you should probably try to get higher with ai just in case you need a moon persona at some point.

If you're going to jump into a dungeon to fight an optional boss it's best to wait until a rainy day. Most S. Links aren't available, and rare enemies appear, so it's win-win.

Also go to the PRACTICE BUILDING and hang out with KANJI sometime.

I want you guys to find out where Rise is so you don't have to look every time. Also, I don't want you to go back to the dungeon because it's boring, but the obsessive compulsive side of me says its useful.

Why did the other cop come to get Dojima if the thieves are so close to him?  Do your f'ing job, cop!

Favorite bit from the episode:
Vinny: "Heard it coming out, knew it was bad."
Jeff: "Kept on talking anyway."

Even though many people have probably told them (I didn't scoure the comments to find out) that the optional boss is not there yet I predict they Vinny will have them go in anyway for some completely illogical reason and a day shall be wasted on grinding their overleveled "A Team".

Here's a good alternative to paying Fox in the future.
Go to Yukiko's Castle, get into a battle with some Lying Hablerie (big tongues), kill everything but 1 and just guard.
They'll be doing 1 damage with their attack, and you'll be restoring SP with Invigorate. You can also equip the Mage's Mark on the other party members. It doesn't take long a all, just a 2 or 3 minutes and you're back to full power and ready to kick ass.

 You can see if Kanji is in the practice building or increase your knowledge in school. You could fish and the fish you need for the quest is a red goldfish. The dungeons I would use on rainy nights imo. You need to max courage later and knowledge to start Naoto S. link.

If you want to tutor you need max understanding. Nanako should be top priority imo when home for she will be cut of soon. Then the Nurse should be used for you raise courage, money, S. link so when Nanako is not up and the hospital is take advantage of it.

 Oh Kanji is a fun S. link so it is good when you cant S. link with Rise. Oh and now that you know that Naoto is a girl like from the start :) her as a girlfriend is very intresting to say the least when rank 10. Also to have her as a girlfriend you need to choose certain options that start at rank 8 if my memory is correct which is still far away.

Oh and the persona Kohryu that you gained by Dojima is very good after you get to his level that is.

Kohryu is probably my favorite persona. Not only is he bad ass and huge but he reminds me of Shen Long from Dragon Ball Z, only white.

"

Naoto's S. Link is indeed a bit different if they plan on inducting her into Charlie's inner circle, there are two options you have to choose correctly in order to get the option, one is in Rank 4 or 5 and the other is indeed in Rank 8.
