Persona series

Man my luck is great tonight. I get 2 Upright Moon Arcana Chance effects in the same dungeon allowing my party to level up really fast! Then I find not one, but 2 Paladin Armors for MC and Yosuke to replace their Desparate Armors.

Now I find a Mage's Mark accessory! This baby will give any person it's equipped to Invigorate 1! This means I effectively have free SP for all my party members and never need to pay the fox again! From now on whenever I need everyone to recharge I just Traeseto out, head to Yukiko's castle, and take turns restoring everyone's SP while we tank the level 3 mobs!

Your Yukiko is going to be especially ridiculous.

I feel happy because in the First Persona i managed to get all the Totems for their ultimate Personas.

Also...P1 MC is probably the best boyfriend in the entire franchise.

Yep yep, Yukiko is now free healing in her entirety.

Giant nukes, too. Yukiko's really well built for both healing and blasting huge Agis on everything.

I just colloect 10 Thick Hides for the number 22 sidequest. The funny thing? I had better luck getting Wealth Hands to show up than I did Dancing Hands. I get about 5 Wealth Hands while searching.

Now I killed 2 Treasure Hands in Marukyu Striptease.

And I now just beay Mitsuo the Hero

You're closing in on one of the more actually-amusing civilian events of the game, too!

I'm glad the store stock carries over in NG+. I can never find those stupid Dancing Hands.

A hint:

(Okay, so there's more to it than that, and no actual alcohol is involved, but still...)

They do? I'm happy to hear that.

I know what Pulse is talking about, I'm already beaten Persona 4 before.

As for the blank slate-ness... yeah.

I could possibly buy that P 3 MC might have the slightest bit more of a personality than Yu based off their home games, but it's negligible if true. It's in the follow-up spinoffs that I think P 3 MC outshines Yu. Yu in P 4 A is the blandest thing in the world. He's rice porridge with no salt or soy sauce. It's like they took the blank slate and kept it blank for despite the fact he's now speaking and you make no decisions. The only other game I've played with P3's MC was PQ, which while the game was... ehhhhhhhh... I did find his personality in it endearing.

Honestly, I think I would've said I liked P4's protagonist more based off their games alone. But the follow up games undid that.

Though Anime Yu > Anime Makoto.

How is Movie!Makoto (actually the only Makoto)?

Ah, I meant Makoto. Forgot his canon name.

He's a bit of a dour, Broken Bird that's clearly traumatized. Like anime Yu, though, he's clearly concerned about losing his friends and comes out of his shell.

But I just really like Anime Yu. He's quite funny.

Oh, one thing I didn't mention... I feel like P 3 MC does have a lot more personality in his body language than P 4 MC. P4's really doesn't have much at all, but P3's idle animations and win animations paint something of a picture.

Trying to catch a Huge Fish for the Hermit Rank 10 quest is really testing me.

... a Huge Fish? Really?

You could buy it on Tanaka shopping channel

Am I the only one who thought that P3MC's personality in terms of his on-screen behavior was at odds with the way the other characters treat him? I mean, above and beyond the Heroic Mime thing, he always struck me as quiet and a little distant. He's supportive of his friends, but he's rather introverted, so he does it in a calm, almost stoic way. But the rest of SEES talks about him as if he's a great motivational leader, like he's Captain Kirk or Kamina, out front and center striking heroic poses and giving passionate speeches to inspire everyone to kick reason to the curb and go where no man has gone before.

I suppose it could be a reference to his combat leadership, where he's presumably devising strategies and issuing orders with rather more confidence and assertiveness than his normal day-to-day personality, but that doesn't really come across very well.

Yes well, I was a money saving idiot that didn't think actually getting the Huge Fish by fishing would be this mind-numbing. I can read the pulses now, but instead I end up with Genji Ayus.

You can only find em on rainy days Iirc.

Yes I know. I'm doing that right now. 8/6.

I finally caught one! Turns out the amount of fight they give when you do is how you can tell it's a Huge Fish and not a Genji Ayu.

And now I've caught the Guardian! on 8/11 too!

I just take it to mean he's not an idiot.

I'm talking to you, Ms. Marin Karin.

Need to max Expression before I can continue Justice and finish Hermit.
