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...

Yu does not cast Bufu on things he shouldn't.

Unlike someone

I see that you snuck in a P3 reference.

Also, I think I commented on this before, but Adachi and Dojima are just now ranting about Naoto? Who has been in Inaba for at least a month or so now? I guess one could argue that Dojima just kept quiet about it until he got drunk, but it still always seemed strange to me...

And I noticed the P3 reference as well.

Otherarrow: Dojima is extremely by-the-book, though. He's very good at keeping his on-the-job work and his at-home work separate, for the vast majority of the time.

pdam: Striptease is so fantastically sleazy.

Oh, dear.

Something rather nasty has come up, and I don't think I'll be able to post the next entry for... A week? Two weeks?

It'll happen, but it might be a while.
