The sudden silence at 6:08 was awesome, also nice Clerks reference!
btw, if you like girls who stutter, who will totally fall for Chihiro in P3.

Also: 2 more days to clear the Void Quest or else game over!

actually there is a more romantic part involving chie later on. Accept her invite to hang out with you on christmas. You get to have her over at your place for some "hot cocoa".

I would definitely advocate getting your fighter S-Links up before Rise.  You guys have Yosuke pretty high up and use him a lot, so him or Yukiko would be good choices.  Rise does get some S-Link bonuses, but they're nowhere near as good or as frequent.

The benefits are really good.  I don't think you guys noticed it at the end there when looking at Chie's new persona, but she had NO weakness and Ice turned to Null instead of Str.  When your other members can only get knocked down via crit or a random miss, it makes for better times.

I think they're going to get to level 10 with Chie again when they get sent back a week by Igor.

With the limited time they have left, it was pretty sad to see all that SP go to waste.  Especially when they have quite a few 50 SP-restoring items.

you guys should now work on getting Rise up all the way becasue she can then tell you all weaknesses right off the bat.

@Curufinwe: They do still have 3 days, so it's plenty.  They merely need to realize it's 3 days left, not 5 days.  Hearing them talk about how they think the 15th is the deadline is painful.

@Turambar: I can't blame them for not knowing the deadline is so soon.  It's only 1.5 days of rain on the forecast instead of the usual 3 days.

The actual episode today was great, especially since the next four or five episodes will probably all be in the dungeon as they go back to the 7th floor then try to get to the top.

Hey guys, if you remove everyone from the party (leaving only Charlie on the list) and then ask for healing, how much does Fox ask for then? It has to be pretty low, right?

So the in-game descriptions are basically lying.  One and a half days of rain is not "several days of rain".  Heck, it isn't even TWO days of rain, really.  You can't blame Jeff and Vinny for taking the game's own instructions at face value.

This one's coming from someone who's played to the Normal Ending, maxing out ALL social links completed except one - I ran out of time with the Temperance/babysitting link at rank 9.  Man, I've got some talking to do to get the True Ending from that last save!  Some non-spoiler advice...

Your social link progress is pretty good - you're missing a couple links but they are the most boring ones (the Young Mother and Saki's Brother links are probably the worst in the game).

Your attribute progress (Courage, Expression, etc.) is also pretty good, but you will need to concentrate on maxing something out rather than taking the "scatter gun" approach.  In the short term, maxing Expression is most important, because the Nanako and Dojima links have a tighter time schedule than now seems to be the case (any further discussion of this is definitely spoiler territory).

Your fusions are also pretty good.  You don't need Dis - Black Frost and the bird you fused twice is actually a good combo for the next boss.  Level up Black Frost and get Agidyne ASAP.  The bird you fused had excellent buffs and de-buffs.  Lowering the boss defense + Raising the party's attack + Mind Charge + Agidyne = really good stuff vs. the next big boss (and pretty good vs. nearly ANY boss)!

In Persona 3 you got key items that indicated a fusion unlock, the wristband is just a marker for the Futsunuhi fusion. The new Chie form Persona is mostly a resistance change. Now she has no weaknesses, and also is Null to Ice, a good choice for any fight now. Fun episode as always guys.

It's pretty hard to believe this year I pumped 101 hours (yup, that much) on my playthrough thanks to ER (which I've watched... 42 hours or so of?). That's a lot of Persona.


If Vinny or Jeff see this, I just wanted to drop two little notes.

1) You can put your model on your shelf.
2) Manuals increase Knowledge/Expression if you want to double up on them.

Keep on trucking guys :D

Yeah my thoughts exactly. In P3 you slept with them at lvl 10, the relationships were more intense at lvl 7 in P3 than they are at lvl 10 in P4. Rise or Yukiko better put out! =P

Looks like Chie's improved persona now nullifies ice damage instead of only being strong to it and now has no weakness at all compared to the weakness against fire it had before.
