Live Blogs Persona 4: Self Challenge Expert Run!

Pulse2012-08-22 10:58:55

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...

OK, I laughed at the Soul Hackers reference.

...And I'd totally watch that movie.

So would I!

I'm sorta proud of the title of this entry. I think it's one of the better ideas I've had regarding such things.

Woo! First trip to a dungeon! And the next update's probably going to involve developing the Social Links...it's good to see that the action is starting to pick up, and I certainly hope that things go well for you.

Thanks! I'm trying hard to make this at least modestly interesting, and it's good to hear that seems to be the case. ^_^
