Accepting the Fox's quest won't take your After School slot, only when you report back after fullfilling it will take the After School slot.

(Dishonorable to eat outside your homeroom during lunch?  So why do other depictions of school have kids eating in a cafeteria?  Who would you be dishonoring?) - Totally Answered (though there are cafeterias in Japan, we decided.  Not common, but they exist)

Anyway, I ate food in classrooms some days, it's not weird at all to do that, especially in smaller schools.

This is a complete and utter guess as to who the killer is. But I think its Dojima, because hes always away on the day, he never gets caught, and he would love seeing people go to the Bad Bad Bathouse.

There's no music when it's raining, just the incessant sound of raindrops.

HASTILY SKIPPED TEXT OF THE DAY TIME!
Old woman: "And my daughter's family is getting nosy again. Chattering on about how I shouldn't be pushing myself!
They look at me with their apologetic faces and say things like, "Isn't it inconvenient for you at your age?"
I know I don't have too many years left, but I don't want everybody's pity!
Sheesh, such silly things to worry about!"

I have expect the BtS video is some sort of apology/explanation/mea culpa for the lost 50.

Either way, its raining pretty severely, so I'm not going anywhere. *sets up camp again*

I'm expecting episode 50 to have some of the non-corrupted footage and, in between, talking shown between the guys about what happened during the parts that they couldn't show. A fill in the blank type of deal.

If it's just 30-50 minutes of talking in the flesh, I can't see it being very good. What can they show exactly?

"This is the sofa where we sit and play the game. This is the PS2 pad Vinny struggles to hold, it (for him) being like holding a wet fish trying its best to survive. This is our TV..." 

It'll be a bit dull without P4 on the screen. I do want to actually see Vinny because, as of yet, I've only heard his voice during the GB videos - he's either holding the camera or commenting on something off camera.

Ok guys, you know what to do.  Give fiddy his skull already.  :) 

Also, as much as she's a complete downer right now and cues the sad music, Yumi will help you get your expression up so you can talk to Nanako again, since dealing with her drama and surviving it without  going nuts raises your Understanding greatly.

You should atleast try ranking up Nanako more.Even if you have to increase expression.Shes avaible only for a limited time in a game for ranking up.

Just saying, but Personae's from Justice Arcana are complete garbages with garbage learnable skills, so ranking up with Nanako won't effect jack shit.


I'd concentrate on Academics and or Expression so you can take the Tutor job. Then you will open up the Tower Social Link (at night). Tower is easily the Arcana with strongest Personaes, edging even Judgement Arcana. It is pretty easy to rank up in comparison to Devil and Justice, so you might as well want to max this one up earlier.

But don't you need to rank up with Nanako in order to complete her part of the story later?

The Justice S.Link is 100 times more interesting than the Tower S.Link, so they're much better off raising Expression and talking to Nanako.

I meant 'grinding' Understanding for the Tutor job and not Expression.

@ sixpin (*Spoiler alert*)

You mean to unlock *spoiler* Heaven dungeon ? No, it will open up automatically without ranking up the social link.

Yep the Tower SL is boring.  And we know they are going to Max out the Chariot SL so its not like they are going to be lacking power at the end.

Will we see 50 before today's gone? Or will it be up on Monday? I did see Twitter line from Jeff that they were re-recording ep. 50 yesterday. Hope I can watch it today. :)

Chariot S Link is good. Futsunushi with his Primal Force and Apt Pupil can cause a critical hit to the boss, and add another turn, and he is undoubtedly the strongest Personae physically. I won't even swap him for Asura, Sandalphon, or even Ardha.

There is no Hassou Tobi within Justice Arcana. That's the difference.

Persona is just acting like a little bitch this week. First 49 and 50 are corrupted, and now my own game save is lost about 15 hours in. I had some really great abilties from fusing too, like Resist Physical on damn near everything :(

@Jeff

It's not that the developers were too lazy to create a lunch room for the game, it's just common for most students in Japanese schools to eat their lunch in the classroom. Also a fun fact, in Japan the students stay in one room all day while the teachers have to change rooms, unlike here in the U.S.
