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...

Heh. I'm defiantly not the only one who takes the girl's side, though I reason that the player is a girl soooooo…and I kinda prefer pestering Yosuke.

Eh, buck up Yu, you still look cool to me!

-laughs heavily at the Alice remark from Yu-

Fun update! Ohgoditscomingup.

"Right now, Teddie... I wish you'd just die. For me."

I see what you did there Narukami.

I admit, you dealt with this whole scenario, which is, IMO, one of the most cringe inducting and not funny events in the whole game, pretty well. Good job Pulse.

Is it just me or is Yu become more and more a prude as time goes on? I know that Yosuke can't help but put his foot in his mouth, but that does not mean the correct answer is to act like a monk. And Yu, "The real Risette, ladies and gentlemen, in the flesh! Thank you very much!" is a perfectly normal intro, the MC is not a creep.

This is awesome! And I do think Yu is being a bit of a prude here. Please update soon!
