    This is too much.

    I just landed in Magatsu Inaba with the Exp+50% robe and Exp +50% Sword. It's quite something :P

    Actually, I need advice. In regards to Yoshi, do you think I should take a day with boosted EXP, or take the Arms Master day?

    Why not the Debilitate day? Of course, that would require a sacrifice of a different sort, but you can get Arms Master on him by other means.

    You can get arms master without the forecast.

    I'm curious to know what you guys are talking about. "Debilitate Day"? "Arms Master Day"? "Yoshi"?

    @AuthenticM:

    They're likely speaking of fusing a Persona whose name (or nickname) is Yoshi on a specific day where the fusion forcasts grants specific bonuses for fusing on that particular day. Debilitate is (I think) a skill, and Arms Master (I think) is a passive trait. The bonus EXP goes without saying, naturally.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not up to that point in the game and I'm hardly an expert. xD

    @SaraHysaro: Nope, you're just about right!

    Yoshi refers to Yoshitsune, who is pretty much the best Persona in the game. Fallen obviously wants to make a really good one, and wants to know the best possible fusion forecast bonus to get on him.

    My advice is that the bonus EXP is a bit of a waste, if you're that late in the game, especially with the EXP items Fallen has. Giving him Debilitate will make Yoshitsune pretty much the only Persona you'll ever need.

    Nintendo and Atlus struck up a deal to have Yoshi as a summonable persona in P4. It's pretty cool.

    You should take the Bonus EXP day. Yoshi can learn Arms Master by fusing. Bonus EXP helps you get closer to the Hassou Tobi move he has exclusively has. Beats grinding, but your 50% EXP stuff should help too.

    Yeah, I seem to remember getting up to 4,000 XP per fight on the first floor of Heaven soloing with Yoshi and the two bonus XP items.  I much preferred that to shuffling cards for hours trying to get an extra passive on him.  My advice is get arms master if you don't want to spend more time shuffling and you don't mind switching out Personas for debilitate, or get debilitate if you want to make the "ultimate" Yoshi.  In which case I'd still advise trying to put arms master on him through fusion.

    @Authentic: Lol, not literally. Everyone is making light out of the situation because they're calling him Yoshi. Y'know, the mario dinosaur-thingy.

    (EXP+ items = God), grinding for Okami was much more tolerable with them equipped.

    im curious as to why you would want to go to such lengths.

    i was 74 for the final boss, using like a 68 tam-lin, and had only a little trouble. but that was on the first day the dungeon opened. so i reloaded my save to s.link and now im just grinding around on the 22nd to  get everyone's final ability.

    Essentially my friend, I'm a perfectionist, and on my new game plus.  I have 100% all social links, and I want to perfect the game basically. Which includes 100% compendium(78~~) atm, and so on. Building a good Yoshi is key to this :D
