Can't wait 'til they get to this level's boss.  I have a feeling they won't make it on the first try.  ;)


Hey, anyone else noticed that the universe of Persona 3 would be taking place right now?  Thursday, May 28, 2009: The protagonist establishes the "Justice" social link with student council member Chihiro...

Okay, fanboy overload.

I'm a bit worried about myself.  I keep yelling at the screen "Pyro Jack has invigorate, Pyro Jack has invigorate, Pyro Jack has invigorate, Pyro Jack has invigorate."

Why why why why why are you using your B team ? Waste of everything, all that exp you earned could've gone towards characters you actually use.

Once Chie learns her high level physical skills she is awesome. Teddie is just a better caster; it is a matter of preference, not a matter of fact. They (Vinny and Jeff) just need to learn the importance and merits of using phsyical skills.

My personal final party was Chie, Yukiko, and Teddie, but I didn't really use Teddie until he gains some more levels and became a buffing king. 

I don't know when you guys will see new comments, but when you do, I recommend you get some new equipment for people.  I'm guessing Kanji's lack of defense comes from crappy armor. 

Also, yes, the party members can take a mortal blow for you.  That's S.link 1.  S.Link 9 is surviving a mortal blow meant for that party member, and so far only Chie has that one.

If you guys go to the strip club, for the love of god skip all the weaker enemies and head straight for the boss. grinding off them for 80 xp per fight is a waste of time. if you need to level just go down a floor in the void quest.

also, if you guys stick with chie she kinda sucks from now until end-game. i'd just go with teddie.

I don't know why but I do the same thing when I navigate this game.

Don't group Ted with the red shirts.
He makes cool sounds when he walks with you in the dungeon.

So the actual question is whos better-
 
A) Yukiko or Teddie
B) Kanji or Chie

For A I think its Yukiko, dunno why, she is just more of a magic purist.
For B I think its Kanji, coz later he gets massive tank attack strikes, although at like level 90+, Chie may be better.

Dont go back to the Marukyu striptease! Just start from floor 1 of void quest and grind from there.
Oh, and by the way, "the corpse discoverer" is/was Saki.(The girl who secretly hated Yosuke)

"You can "wind" this one! Ha ha ha.... errr.... Bear Time."

Heh, you better watch those beetles. I won't say anything concrete, but good call. Good call. I sorta expected you guys to get wiped out, but you got Persona skills. I shouldn't have doubted you.

Also, half the fun of the Endurance Run is just how angry you can make people watching. Every little thing you do gets criticized by someone. It's pretty awesome, and hilarious. I say you do whatever you damn well please. You've gotten this far, I say you can make it.

Kanji seems more versatile than Chie. However, I just love Chie's "God's Hand" (level 70).

I suggest using Chie on chapter 6 of Void Quest as she can Galactic Punt the mini boss if you weaken the other dude, that's what happened to me anyways. Good times...

Hahaha, oh man. I had an ex who'd say Bear Time stemming from our discussion of his ultimate dream: boxing a bear and fire (yes, an actual fire). Eventually, it evolved to basically mean the same thing as "It's go time!"

Teddie does it better.

The reason for the strip club isn't EXP, its money and materials with little SP use, both of which they need.  Also from lvl 7 up they'll still get decent EXP.

@endaround: It might be efficient SP-wise, but I know they don't want  to grind, and we don't want to see them grind. I think if they jump out, sell their materials, buy some equipment for everyone, and maybe fuse a bit, they can continue from where they left off. SP conservation isn't a big issue at this point.

I just fought the boss, holy crap Black Frost does mad damage. I just used my mind focus skill, then the next turn I hit him with Bufula for 320+ damage. I need to start Focusing more often. That was my tactic. Try that if you're getting worked.

WTF, lvl 90+.  I guess Jeff was right, they really are less than half way there.  I was starting to buy into the Vinney hype, thinking we were a few weeks away.  Oh well, I guess that just means more ER for me :)

Just curious, what's the skinny on fox?  How much does a refresh cost now? Seems  like s-linkin' with him wouldn't be a bad idea now that you have a B-team to swap.   Keep up the great work dudes.

Wait, the corpse discoverer would have been Saki (or however you spell the first girl's name), it would seem. We didn't discover any corpses.
