The same thing happened for me; in the first run-through, I wanted to see if there was going to be a negative consequence to dating more than one person, but I wasn't expecting the way it was shown to have that kind of impact. So, in the second run, I stuck with Yukiko, and things went a lot better.
(I like the fact that the game not only allows for loyalty to a single partner, but actually rewards it.) In fact, in the second run, after having been called out to go shopping with Ai on some Sunday or other, Yukiko (who I had max S-linked with by that point) showed up, shooed her away, and (after my Protagonist explained the misunderstanding) spent the rest of the afternoon with him. I couldn't help but feel pleased with that turn of events!

Well, I tried all 3 of the options available to me, and not only am I NOT sorry about my actions, I have vowed to go back on my next playthrough and pick up all the lovers' links that eluded me the first time. I WILL score with all the heroines. *Teddie voice*
I'll have to hunt for gameplay footage of what happens on Valentine's Day if you have no lovers' links- probably something embarassing. @Nerroth: I know exactly what scene you're referring to (although I had Rise for mine, and she got intimidated and ran off). I think that was in the original game too. Yukiko doesn't mess around! |

Thinking I was such a hotshot for clearing P4 first time around on expert before I immediately went with Very Hard on the first run through here without giving much thought to it. Anyone else thought the same?
Well, my hubris caught up with me fairly quickly. The nearly halved exp and gold is one hell of a hurdle, and because I can't stand to grind I'm insanely underleveled every single boss fight. Pretty much half-regretting the decision (plus the fact that there's no trophy for it) but I'm near 30 hours in and far too late in to back out now. It does put an interesting spin on dungeon clearing because now I'm using all sorts of items I would usually hoard. Last edited by com_gwp; 2012-11-30 at 19:35. |

Yeah, I'm just glad I went with hard. I figured that picking Very Hard would end up biting me . Hard was a lot worse in the beginning than I thought it would be. I almost changed my mind with how badly they were beating my team up early on. But hang in there and it started to even out.
Pretty well after Yukiko's dungeon was able to get enough experience from those gold hands to level high enough to endure the dungeons ahead. Still, have to agree on using items that normally I'd hoard more of. Makes those victories just a bit more worthwhile.

I like the dub, AND I understand the cost/space constraints, but damned if it doesn't break my heart not to have the Japanese audio track option. First world problems.
I think I'm actually managing to go through the first dungeon even slower than I did on the PS2. The quick load times have made me even more anal than ever about exploring town constantly to check and see if there's any new text or quests available. I expect to finish this some time around February of 2015. |

NEW WORLD BABY~!

Soooo, finally got around to playing through the whole game with the True ending for the first time...
Spoiler for Spoilers True Ending/Marie:
Honestly, it's the first actual Persona game I've beaten. I mean, I played through the PS2 version, but ended up stopping after abit. I won P3 FES.... but only got so far before stopping. Feels good to actually finish one~

Honestly didn't care about the Japanese voices for this one since I've already spent a ton of hours in the original PS2 version listening to them in English. Not like the dub is poorly done in this case. Options are always good of course.
Finally in December, so getting close to having fun with the added months of the game.

SO FULL OF RAGE. I tried to get the goddamn trophy for reading all the books, using a save point of 12/23. Finished all the books on the last possible day... found out I was missing a book. After scouring Gamefaqs, I figured out it was a book you get by eating at Aiya's 8 times. Great, like I would ever do that. -_- Started over from the same save point, got the book.... wound up ONE reading session short. ARRRRGHH. I can't use any other save points without fighting extremely pointless boss battles. There's no way in hell I'm going to do a third playthrough just for that trophy. What idiot thought up that trophy anyway? Who the hell does that for fun?? What an idiot. Serves me right for wasting time on dumb trophies. -_-

My main issues were in card fusion (I haven't sat down and tried to work out how to get all of the cards needed for a certain Persona, or to move the needle for the Empress Arcana Social Link) and some of the other S-links (I didn't seem to have enough time in either run-through to get everyone maxed up).
Oh well. In other news, happy birthday Yukiko! (Her date of birth was the 8th of December, 1994.)

Indeed, happy birthday Yukiko .
So, finally got through my first run in the game. Just had fun with it and will leave the NG+ for getting a few more trophies. Have to say they did a great job on this. All the extra content made it feel pretty fresh. Just the little things that make it better .

But really I have to say the new scenes scattered throughout really do bring the game up another level. If I didn't have to study I'd be in NG+ already just to go through it all over again.
