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...

I did like the different ways Yu reacted to Gas Station Person and Namatame, with annoyance towards the former, and sympathy towards the latter. I thought it was a nice touch.

Also, why did Narukami dream of that of all things at the end? ...Because the Port Island trip is coming up? I wonder if there is any other reason in the context of your liveblog...

All and all, good update. Worth the wait.

There's lots of little things to find in P4, after all...

And I've got plans for the Port Island trip, don't worry.

Okay, that dream made me 'dawwww!

And ahah! Catherine.

And it seems like you and I are on similar wavelengths on what just might happen at Tatsumi Port Island.
