    So I'm playing Persona 4 and I'm almost 10 hours into it and just took mid-terms. They said you can check your scores in the hallway, but i see nothing in the hallway. Also before i go to bed everynight i study or read, when it says "courage has increased" in green or in blue is there a difference. Also how to I raise expressions and populatity. Any tips will help. PMs please =)

    1- You can only see your score after some days (you will see them during lunch the day they are posted) .
    2- I am not sure, but I think there isn't any difference.
    3- Expression and popularity can be raised by reading books or by some speech choices.

    there isn't really a way to raise popularity, although popularity does lead to intimacy.

    You are forced to see how you did on your midterms when they're posted. I don't remember the exact day.
     
    Popularity is not a stat. Expression is raised through either Drama/Music club, books, the translation job, or eating the beef bowl at Aiya.

    The last one is false. Expression is the only stat not raised by the beef bowl challenge. It raises three out of the other four stats.

    Yea, I couldn't remember. I finished it in August, so I was just listing the things off the top of my head.

    @Belonpopo: There's a whole dungeon based on the design of a strip club and the boss is basically a giant, abstract stripper.

    There's nothing explicit in Persona 4 to worry about. Maybe one or two bits in the game but the screen blacks out and all you get is a sliver of dialogue, nothing more. In terms of the dungeons however, there is a dungeon with a stripper theme like Flux mentioned but there's no actual nudity in it. A little awkward to be in but it's not as bad as you think. There's another dungeon with a...homoerotic vibe to it (is that the word to use?) but like the previous dungeon, it's nothing you can't handle. Unless you're homophobic then I can't help you there friend.

    Though the boss fight at the end of the strip club dungeon can be admittedly awkward to explain.

    Your parents have the right to know what goes into these games.

    If you're not alone in the house when fighting that boss, I highly recommend you turn the sound way down.  That's probably the only really "bad" thing in the game, though, and you'll have plenty of warning so you can schedule it for your "alone time".
