Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, one and all!

This is a liveblog detailing a simple self-imposed challenge in Persona 4. Having completed the game on Normal difficulty, I felt the need to tackle Expert!

However, there's always baggage when it comes to challenging oneself on a New Game+, as I am doing, mostly to access the extra bosses on this route. As a result I've opted to make use of a simple solution to this problem:

I will not abuse the Persona Compendium. I may only summon Personas that I have already obtained through Shuffle Time! or Fusion.

I will, admittedly, be taking advantage of my maxed Social Stats (Expression, Understanding, Knowledge, Courage, and Diligence) and a fairly large yen purse from my last playthrough, but I feel that it will not degrade the challenge TOO much.

So without further ado, we shall now dive into one year in the life of Yu Narukami, and the strange journey he will have, finding that an innocent sin could lead to the world's eternal punishment...

Ah, Persona 4...in my personal opinion, not only is it the best of the Persona games, it's also my favourite Shin Megami Tensei title as well. Presenting the liveblog entries as chapters in a story is a nice touch, I might add; that last part emphasizing the sensations of being in the Velvet Room rather than just describing the scene was done quite well. Best of luck on your run, and remember to keep reaching out for the truth no matter what stands in your way!

Thank you!

I thought it might be more interesting in this format, though it'll be a little slow getting started. I love Persona 4, too, but you have to admit, it does take like two hours to actually start.
