[PS2] SMT: Persona 3 (The RPG to keep talking about, since :awesome:) Now with more PEZ.

This game looks pretty good, especially those anime scenes. Persona 3 has a stand-alone story, with nothing to do with the other games in the series right? Maybe I'll go pick it up tomorrow, heh, I keep telling myself 'this will be the last PS2 game I'll buy.' Hope its worth it. =x

Odin Sphere could have been better.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Why did I think this game was out already? I went in to Gamestop today, browsed the PS2 section for a while then finally asked 'Do you have Persona 3?' They said it got pushed back because of something wrong with the artbook..

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm playing Persona 3 live right now, if anyone cares to watch.
Update: Going to bed now, turning it off.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Just made a new Persona 3 sig. I freaking love this game.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Is there a way to control your other character's conditions? One of mines are either sick or tired every other night and its really annoying. I just completed the first full moon event, am I close to getting the fourth character yet?

I was speaking idiomatically.

I chose swimming also but only went to one practice. lol

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

A game like this should make use of the PS2's soft reset feature, come to think of it most games I bought in the past two years don't even use that anymore, wonder why? I can't be the only one who keeps reloading to try different choices.. >_>

Anyway, regarding the Strength and Chariot social links:

Spoiler:

I'm only interested in Yuko, the team manager. Going to swim practice after school has nothing to do with her right?

FELIPE NO

Cool, I'm pass that point so it must be safe to focus only on her from now on.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Ugh, I think I'm going to end up failing one of Elizabeth's request because my team can't seem to get it together. The due date (6/8) is approaching and someone's always randomly sick, tired, busy or Mitsuru is MIA. When does the 5th character come in? -_-

Jam it back in, in the dark.

To beat Change Relic boss at the end of 2nd Block use Omikon(sp) persona. It's the only one you can use with wind resistance at that point. It may also benefit you to only use Hero and Yukari, because it'll kill the other two members. Just keep yourself healed, debuff the boss and use only physical attacks. Worked for me.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm on Floor 59 boss also, average party level is 15. Anyone else think the 2nd Full Moon event was insanely cool? I hope the game keeps up with the surprises, and I gotta admit, this is by far the most unique RPG I've played on a console yet.

I'm kinda upset with Elizabeth though. Her request for a Valkyrie with Tarukaja ability is a pain. Every persona combination I use to make a Valkyrie turns out with Auto-Tarukaja, which she doesn't recognize.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I ran into something called Mukon.

Post Moon Phase 2

Spoiler:

Fuuka kept talking about how she 'senses death on that floor' and how we should get out of there fast. I still roamed around, hoping to see Reaper for the first time. This guy was something else though, he was hitting my characters for 600-1200 HP.

Just checked GameFAQs, apparantly it was Reaper, aka Death.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

It has it's own figure from what I saw. It sort of ambushed me so I wasn't able to get a good look at it. My characters were set to shadow hunting mode so they engaged without me. It killed someone faster than I could turn around and jump in. >_>

I was speaking idiomatically.

Please don't spoil it by telling us what the last Floor # is when you reach it. I'm just glad to hear theres over 100. Anyone else getting Parasite Eve nostalgia from Tartarus? The Chrysler building was the first mega dungeon I remember going through, it had around 70-80 floors. Not many people made it to the top.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I just beat 59th Floor boss with these Personas.

Inugami 13
Orpheus 4
Apsaras 5
Naga 20
Valkyrie 15
Yomotsu Shikome 12
Pyro Jack 17
Lilim 8

Only reason I have Lilim is because I tried that charm tactic someone on GameFAQs mentioned. It didn't work at all, probably because Lilim's level was too low, or maybe mine was, main character is only level 18. I usually keep Inugami equiped for the Auto-Tarukaja skill, then switch to Naga in battle.

FELIPE NO

You're talking about the boss on Floor 59? Try this.

Spoiler:

Use Hero with a Persona that has Sukunda (just make sure its not weak to wind). Set Yukari to Heal/Support and Akihiko/Mitsuru to Act Freely. Akihiko will spam Tarunda which lowers the bosses attack power, in addition to your Sukunda which lowers its hit/evasion. He'll have a hard time hitting you and your characters can effectively support themselves, especially with Yukari as a dedicated healer. The boss is an endurance fight since he has no weaknesses, just keep him debuffed, yourself healed and take him down with Agi, Bufu, or Zio attacks. Worked for me, and my party was under 20.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Thats whats so great about the Full Moon events, the thrill of actually losing!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Akihiko is starting to piss me off. For the last several floors, he's been using Zio instead of Mazio. My other characters always use their Ma- spells but he stopped for some reason. I encounter alot of enemies that are weak to electric and he's wasting precious time by use single target spells. Anyone know how to counter-prevent this? He's set to Act Freely (like everyone else), not Conserve SP. When he is set to Conserve SP he just kills himself by spamming Sonic Punch.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Aigis, i wish you had magic

Thanks for spoiling my anticipation. =/

Most amazing jew boots

Speaking of items, can your characters ever run out? Back when I still used Junpei he used alot of healing items, and I was worried about them going to waste.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Do Block Sections only unlock once after a full moon? After Block 3 opened I went through the first section on the first night. Now I'm kinda bored.. Am I stuck playing with trash mobs until the next full moon?

I was speaking idiomatically.

The social link situations are also all worth pursuing. None of the content in them has had me thinking they were overly stupid, illogical, boring, pointless, cheesy, etc.

Even The Fat Kid? I ignored him once and never saw the poor blob again.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

What's this (Element) Break bullsnot the Tartarus bosses are using now? It neutralizes your resistance to their element so they can 1 shot you within the next 2 turns. I start the battle with a Persona that has STR/NUL stat against the bosses specific spells, but they go and make that worthless after the battle's been going on for 10 minutes.. Then they kill me and I have to start over.

FELIPE NO

I heard FES actually lets you import your saved data from the original Persona 3 as a New Game+; which is great since most re-releases make you start over. Anyone else tired of companies making all these special/deluxe/substance/international/etc editions after you already bought the original? It always make me feel like I got the half-assed version now I gotta pay full price again for an upgrade..

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I vote Junpei as having the best, most realistic voice. Everyone else's are bland and generic. But Fuuka and Pharos.. Can someone loan me a gun? Uh, never mind. Anyway I just maxed out my Academics right on time to ace my October exams. Mitsuru will be mine!! Right after I'm done with Yukari. I'm also just one rank away from dating Fuuka.

About the full moon bosses, I'm deliberately trying to keep my levels low so they present some type of challenge but these things just plain fail. The hardest boss yet was that table on Tartarus Floor 135, it almost made me miss my quest deadlines.

10/4

Spoiler:

I cried tears of joy when Shinjoro died.. Does he get replaced? Without giving me a name just say yes or no please. I'm hoping Chidori joins.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
