It's the question in my mind.. So yes or no! And i'm sorry there is no poll but I have no idea how to do that...

Also I'm unaware if this applies for the regular MC or not.
 
Really, that is what I'm looking forward too most right next to getting Aki to notice me, I think I got one more charm level to go before he does. Queen bee here I come! But first and foremost is that man in a beanie, the man who says "Adios Assholes" the man whom only uses axes (at least that's all i wanted him to use)
 
THE ONE... AND ONLY = SHINJIRO ARAGAKI! 
 
I'm going to be saving his beanie wearing axe holding ass, now how about you!? XD

It doesn't apply to male MC, as I found out. I was really confused when my friend said he was still using Shinji in battle after that part... haha!
 
Anyway, I'm going through with Fem MC now and I'm definitely gonna save him.

You can save Shinji?
 
WHAAAAAAA!? That's some bullshit.

Oh holy cow, I didn't know you could do that on the PSP version. 
 
I seriously might pick it up just for that. My least favorite part in the game was losing him. : (

Yeah, I saved him.  I couldn't not do it, he's probably my favourite character.
 
He's in a coma for the rest of the game, unless you're on NG+, then you can get his character ending if you choose to.

Damn, you can save Shinji in P3P...........? Maan, now I want a PSP :(

Oh but you should! I'm already working through my third playthrough and so are a lot of people! (Then again I'm a big P3 fan.) "

so you have to get a NG+ to get him with the FMC at the end? Is that the same for all the boy's? (i think you get the option of Ken/Akihiko/Shinji instead of Aigis if you choose too.) Or is this just the Slink max thing? "

The first time you play through the game, you get the original ending (with Aigis). On NG+, you can get the different character endings if (I believe) you went with their romance routes. "

Dude awesome, he deserves to live. Also I heard there is a applied sex scene with him too.

There is.
 
You have to INSIST to go with him to his room.. over and OVER again even when he screams at you no and that it's bad for a woman to do that out of wedlock (which i thought was cute) and once you get to the room he keeps asking if your sure... then..
 
he goes..
 
"I won't stop."  ( I hope that's accurate I was reading/ watching the Japanese version)
 
And things fade to black. XD

lol, I'd say that's fairly accurate, though the dub dialogue is much better than the translations on youtube.  There should be English versions up on youtube by now, so if you're dying to see it, just search for "moon after max" or something similar. "

" @Catolf:    Spoiler tagging this just for minor phrases of dialogue, it's not a huge deal though if you've already seen the translations.
 

SPOILER WARNING: Click here to reveal hidden content.

Oh yes, it's pretty well suggested.  Not to mention the fairly cliche romance manga line of "I'm not holding back anymore."  Not so subtle ;D
 
Akihiko's is also pretty suggestive.  Especially if you go see him again once you've maxed him out (which I did several times for fun).  All of the dialogue options for an after-max bedroom visit lead to him saying something about how actions are better than words XD  For one dialogue option, he will actually say something like "let's close our eyes and let our bodies do the talking."
 
Yeah, Akihiko does not play around ;D

The social links have no impact on one another, so you can get romantically involved with all of the choices and it won't make a difference (though in some social links, if you max them out after you've maxed Akihiko on romance route, they'll comment on your relationship a bit -- Yukari and Mitsuru will do this at certain levels if you give them the right dialogue options, which were awesome easter eggs I was happy to discover on my first playthrough).
 
You can go to Akihiko's room as much as you want after you've maxed him with romance, regardless of what you did with Shinji or may be doing with Ryoji or Ken (ew), on days he's available.  You can't max out Akihiko's S.link until after the Shinji incident anyway -- if you get him to lv 7 before the shooting and try to hang out with him again the game will tell you that Akihiko needs to mature before you can get any closer with him.  IE, he needs some character development before the S.link story can progress.
 
With Shinji, you can only do his after-max stuff once.  I managed to get him to lv 10 with 2 days left in his availability (Shinji's available most Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat evenings and I maxed him on a Wednesday so had the Fri and Sat left over).  I got the after max bonus love scene on the Friday, but when I tried to hang out with him again on the Saturday, he flat out refused and said I should be spending time with the others, so there was no option to see him.

  And I'm babbling like crazy.  lol, does that answer your question?  D: "

I forgot to save him.

" @Catolf:   Yay!  Akihiko's really is quite adorable.  It's pretty standard S.link fare for the first few levels, but 7-10 are awesome.  Be careful and watch out for his romance flags, though.  He's got several things you have to say to him throughout the link.  If you're dead set on going romance route with him, I'd recommend checking out a FAQ to see which responses are the romance ones -- they're often not the highest scoring options. ;D  Ah, I wanna gush some more.  Those two S.links are all the best girly fanservice I could've ever asked for XD "

" @Catolf: im just stating a general thing that is frustrating "

" @Catolf: thanks alot I'm still getting used to how integral the buffing thing is, I'm used to playing games where that seems a bit more optional "

While it's true that social links don't affect each other, if you've maxed out Akihiko's and Ken's social links on the romance path and bring them to Tartarus with Junpei, you'll get some funny dialogue when you talk to either of them. 
 
@Catolf: Luckily for you, I've already made a guide with all the social links covered! "

" @Catolf: Buffing was less important because you never knew what any party member was going to do and so it didn't help as much.  Also since in P3 you only had to hit the weakness once for the enemy to lose a turn it was always better to use you time to knock them down then buff/debuff, "

" @eroticfishcake: You may want to mention that you can also remove the tired status through Yawn-B-Gone from the school bookstore which is the easiest (in many ways too easy) way to get back to good.  And that going to the bathroom seems to have no effect in this game. "

I must be missing something here. Shinji can be saved when you're the female MC, right? I'm assuming this is the case given the direction of the thread. Not that I've played as the female yet, but I cannot imagine how you would do this as the male MC.

You can save Shinji? I did not know that.

You can bone Shinji?
