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...

Interesting note: You can use your Persona during the dream fight, despite Narukami not having it yet.

Interestingly, the game seems to acknowledge that you shouldn't have it yet, as Izanagi shows up as a silhouette if summoned.

Huh. I honestly never thought to check. I think it holds a little more dramatic weight as it is now, though.

Wait, seriously? Cool. Have to try that sometime.

Whoops. That was an accident.

But while I've got that there, I'm liking this so far.
