ok guy, you want to clear Rise dungeon first. If you do, there be more S.link will open up. Instead of getting a request from Chie to go to the TV world, she ask if you want to hang out with her.

basically, early rescue = more S.Link

Talking to everyone in the school takes about 5 minutes. Not a huge hassle.

Ugh. Finding the ONE(or, more often, two or three, or four...) NPC(s) you need to open up a new dungeon is such a hassle, especially if you're avoiding the use of guides. It does add to the atmosphere since your investigation team is, well, investigating, but all that running around is still really annoying.

At least the next dungeon has a special surprise at the end of it, which you may or may not have guessed depending on how good you are at picking up foreshadowing.

Surprises aren't that surprising if you're told they're coming.

Yeah, these parts are annoying, but thinking you have to talk to everyone in search of one or two NPCs is a bit misleading, since a lot of them will give you hints to narrow things down.

As someone who never played Persona, Adachi definitely seems like the killer to me. I hope it's not that obvious but he is really suspicious. 


Also, you guys should have just talked to everyone instead of walking around aimlessly. It's annoying but it's better than just running around the same place for that long. Whatever though. I'd probably be getting pretty frustrated too at this point.

What are you even talking about? Preview shots? You're confirming boss fights? Dude, the Endurance Run attracts all kinds of freaks.

Ok by the time you've read this you probably all ready figured out what to do.

You have to go to the High School, go to the second floor. From here go right, all the way down the hallway and hang a left, should be a open door showing a catwalk.

From here go right and you'll see a chubby looking kid, this is the guy you want to talk to. Continue on with his conversation, and he'll lead you to the Tofu shop.

Now after making a trip you've made many times, you'll need to yet again, head back to the Riverbank and talk to the Kind Guy, who Yosuke was standing beside before. The Kind Guy will tell you to come back tomorrow when its raining.

The Next day you'll notice a fellow with a translucent umbrella, this is your man.

PS- go for the first option, "Shes different on TV." This is the correct response

Happy Hunting :)

He's referring to the thumbnail images for videos. You can see them by typing 55 and 56 into the search box.

Awesome episode.

And you guys have to actually go to the Practice Building, find a chubby student and then the Papparazzi will be there. If he isn't, talk to more people, and if he isn't then, then wait until tomorrow.

Don't wanna spoil anything, but in Rise's dungeon watch out for the "Arcane Tanks" (or something along those lines). I got a bit over confident and didn't save for about 3 hours then that fucker one shot my main guy for 400-odd hp.

"I tried to cry...But I couldn't."

It has really put me off playing it ever again! Maybe I'll just watch the Endurance Run instead of playing along...

I love going back to these and looking for odd bits of the story, that you don't notice the first time.

It takes a few moments to talk to NPCs. And even when Vinny did, he just mashed X and ignored the text. @_@

HOLY SHIT!! I NEVER noticed that before (about the truck) and this is my third time through this! AND I beat the game twice!

I've beaten the game four times, and watched the ER a bunch of times, and never noticed that before either. There's a pretty good attention to detail in this game.
