Persona 4 (Official Topic)

-No, you can't control your teammates.

-Sunday TV is special.
-Elizabeth has secrets too, so be sure the quest like crazy!

-You should only handle one dateable chick at a time. Online chicks and lolis are NOT dateable.

P4 never fails to disappoint.

1) Yeah, it is. Adds to the challenge a bit, though.
2) There's a TV in your room. And by quests I meant requests. They're the same thing in P3. Elizabeth handles them.
3) Yes.
4) I got mah words twisted. I did mean "impress".

I guess I can't get quests from Elizabeth yet.

A few more comments:
- The AI is surprisingly awesome, but I'm not too happy about them passively using up my item stock.
- The boss music has an awesome drum beat.
- Yukari sounds a lot like a mix between Rita Mordio and Yoko Littner.

Loving it. Should keep me going until P5 is properly revealed

20 hours into P4, just got back from the camping trip. Just spent about 4 hours playing, am loving this game. Will definitely be getting P3 as soon as I see it. When does P1 come out for PSP? They're localising it, right?

But I'm glad you're enjoying P4! Be sure to check out some of the hints I've laid out in the past pages.

Prolly means we won't be getting P3P either right? At first I didn't want it, but now I like P3 so much I'd be happy to buy it again just to play it handheld, even if it is watered down a lot.

Also I'm not really interested in P1, I heard it's kindameh.

Just got to the top of the first section of Tartarus. The boss up there was quite hard, with his annoying Yukari-killing Zio attacks.
Are there any social links that require you to do slightly hidden things? Right now I'm thinking Mitsuru's needs a high Academics level to be activated.

EDIT: Wtf? Junpei doesn't have a Social Link!? o.0;
EDIT2: I'm finding it very hard to make money. :/

2) Yeah, poor Junpei. He'll be too busy trying to score with the ladies to Social Link.

3) Yeah, sorry but no part-time jobs this time around. You'll have to constantly go to Tartarus to make your money.

And one more little tip:
When you finally get the 20th Social Link completed, you'll be able to make the last (or rather, second to last) Persona from your 2 most special story-related personae. I recommend you save the game before fusing these and continue to fuse and reset the game until it has the item-creation heart. THAT'S when you must register it. Continue to register it afterwards until you need only a bit of experience to level it up to acquire its final skill, since that's when personae with items attached create their items. This one persona can create 6 items. If you've done what I said, you can get an unlimited amount of these 6 items. It is worth it.

AND Barong+Rangda=WOOOOOOOO

I just got to the top of Arqa (within a few days of saving Fuuka too!), and now I'm trying to do some quests for Elizabeth.

Right now the main thing on my mind are how many Social Links there are, and how hard it is to work on them all while trying to raise stats. I think there are already a few that I've missed forever...

PS. Since I know you guys love P4 so much, I thought I'd post a link to this hilarious comic by hiimdaisy. Also it has spoilers, so be warned. :/

(Here's the second part )

Disclaimer: The views portrayed in this comic are not representative of my own, especially since I personally have a fondness of Chie and Yukiko that borders on obsession.

I hope the quiz is on Steak. I'll checked the box marked DELICIOUS.

~32 hours into Persona 4, rescued Rise, still loving it.

Question: I just maxed out my Social Link with Chie. I assume that whilst trying to rank up the social links with other girls, you get the option to date them too? Is it possible to max out their social links without dating them?
Also, can you get any more cool little scenes with characters you've maxed out? Or is that it?

1) Yes, you pimp, you.
2) Yes, you just kind of have to turn them down when they ask.
3) That's it. But it's nice having a new Persona on the front-lines, no?

Cool, thanks. Didn't want to cheat on my Chie-chan. I'm toootally gonna have to get Persona 3 once I've completed this. ^_^ Also, I heard there are different endings? Is it possible for you to give me pointers for the best ending without spoiling anything?

On P4 you can go out with as many girls as you want and have absolutely 0 consequences. On P3 you can get reversed links by going out with multiple girls...

To get the best ending on P4? No spoilers? Hmm... this is gonna be a toughie.

There's the bad ending, the normal ending, and the true ending.
- Be nice and reasonable even when things get hectic
- Don't give up when the time comes to figure everything out
- Triple check everything at the end

Very vague, I know

Hmm, thanks. Guess it definitely is the kind of game that saying too much would spoil it. XD Just kinda scary, it's such a long game, I really want to see the best ending without having to replay it. Might just start saving to a second slot every now and then in case I need to go back.

I got the best ending first try, somehooow xD

Bump.

I've started playing Persona 3 again, and I'm on Floor 135 of Tartarus. This boss is giving me one heck of a hard time ._. It's times like these I really wish I could control my party members...

Anyone have any pointers for this boss? Dx

I spent a few hours grinding, I haven't used Junpei or Akihiko in fucking ages and Mitsuru and Aigis are pretty useless for this thing. And after I did a lot of grinding I randomly died on 3 random enemies because I couldn't run from them. Yaaaay~

So then I quit since it's late and I don't know how much that death has set me back. I had just gotten Minato to level 40 aswell T-T

Just wondering, have you tried fighting Death yet?

PK, The Mongonator said:

Funny you mention that actually, because that "random enemy" that killed me was the one I fought right after Death appeared on the floor. Infact one of the reasons I died was probably because I was in such a rush to get the hell out of there...

Hi there everyone. Just recently bought this game. What I like about this game is the fact that there are school children investigating a murder case. The characters are really well VA and the story is well written. I wonder if there will be a Persona 5?

AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA LOOK AT ME I DOUBLE POST.

Thought I'd post random Persona video for the hell of it.

And this.

Aaaah I was gonna post part 3 of the comic but I forgooooot~

And, awesome video, but doesn't that need a spoiler warning?
Random Junpei and Minato?

PS. I'm having the time of my life just watching the related videos
Don't recommend it to those who haven't completed it though... spoilerz :3

EDIT: PERSONA MUSIC LIVE!!
This guy has most if not all of the tracks. Unfortunately there's no live version if "I'll Face Myself"

And of course my own favourite is:

Did you notice the Phoenix Wright spoof hidden in there?

I'm gonna watch the concert over the weekend.
