    Man, I just started playing this again after like a month long break. I must finish this game. So Elizabeth is also lying about the floors that the other shadow crystal or whatever item is on right? Anyone remember what floors it's actually on? I don't want to look for an hour on the wrong floors. I'm sounding confusing but just to clarify I'm on the second shadow whatever quest where the item is somewhere in block 4.

    Ok, I'll throw out Glider's item first.
    Shadow Crystal is on 140, 144, 148 and 154. 10% chance each time/floor.
    As for the bonus boss stuff:
    the DJ guide recommends:
    Susano-o w/ Garudyne and Agidyne
    Scathach w/ Resist Slash and Resist Fire
    Titania w/ Diarahan, Resist Slash and Resist Pierce
    Alilat w/ Resist Fire, Resist Ice, Resist Elec, Resist Wind, High Counter
    Attis w/ Diarahan, Resist Elec, Resist Fire, Resist light
    Chi You w/ Heaven's Blade, Power Charge, High Counter, Enduring Soul, Resist Dark
    Dionysus w/ Resist Light
    Lucifer w/ Victory Cry
    Satan

    Except for the last two, you're going to need to do some fancy fusing to get those skills onto those persona.

    For the record She has 20K hp and restores it all at 10K one time. When She's at <9K she'll heal AND cast Megidolaon on you. This is why you need Armageddon.

    Why only Resist instead of Repel or Block or Drain? She'll use Armageddon against you till you're dead.

    Any other questions?

    Alright thanks. Really now, it's hard enough to get the item. Did they have to lie about what floors it's actually on?

    I think the only one that's lied about is the Shard. She says it's on like 65-68 but it's really 68, 71, 81, 84.

    Also, the Crystal is an ordinary treasure so clear all the chests, not just the gold ones.

    Yeah, somewhere around level 7 or 8.

    Speaking of which...
    Priestess 2, Empress 1, Emperor 3, Hierophant 5, Hermit 9, Fortune 1(R), Strength 4, Devil 3, Tower 4, Moon 2, Sun 8.
    If it's not listed it's maxed.

    Given that I'm on Jan 4, I think I can cap Sun and Hermit. Tower would be pushing it though.

    By endgame, I had like four people in reverse. Mostly Fuuka and that transfer student.

    Also, less wordy retitleing.

    I never did max out Justice or Fortune. By the time I finally maxed out Strength, I went around spending a little time on everyone.

    Reverse is the new black, c.j.

    I probably had the same people reversed. By the end of the game, at least Yuko was talking to me again, but she ended off at level 4 or 5 still.

    They change locations when reversed. Try downstairs at school, that's where I found Yuko, Bebe, and Fuuka when they were reversed.

    When I finished my first run through the game, every link I had was either maxed or reveresed, except for Empress and Emperor, both of which hit 9 just before the ending.

    How do you guys get all the social links? D: I don't get it. I'm in Sept... and Missing a TON of them. Can you join more than one club? That's the only way I can see that you can get all the Social Links. If you can join more than one I feel like a retard.

    Some are triggered by getting to a certain level in "starter" S.Links. Others are time-based... one of the girls doesn't activate until November, for example.

    Ask for specifics if you want one spoiled for you.

    Most of them become available after you do certain things or on certain dates.
    Three of them open up when you max out Charm, Courage and Academics and even then you can't start them until a certain date. Tower doesn't open up until you get the team manager to rank four.

    It doesn't matter which club/team you join as you get the same arcana for whichever sports team/culture club you join.

    Ahhhh okay. I don't have max anything yet. D: Maxing Acedemics seems pretty easy, but I always go for the S. Link levels instead. Courage is the one I have a hard time with, though, and I'm at level 3 I think :(

    There's a trick to boosting Courage fast.
    Assuming you've completed your necessary Tartarus tasks for the month, get yourself tired or sick, and be sure to stay up late to stay sick as much as possible. Then go to the nurse's office every day to take the horrible medicine. Also Kareoke every night... if you do forego a S.Link in the afternoon, see an action movie or go to the mystery burger place. It's possible to gain 8 Courage points in a single day.

    Oddly enough, I was going to ask about the reversed thing today.

    The one that's frustrating me right now is the Devil link. I started using a social link guide and I'm supposed to find him at one of the train stations in August and I can't find the guy. Charm and courage are maxed with academics on the 2nd last level. Am I missing something?

    You can't meet Devil until you've gotten another Link to a certain level.

    I think it's Tower.

    It's Hermit.

    Temperance comes from Heirophant, Tower comes from Strength, Devil comes from Hermit, Justice comes from Emperor, Priestess comes from Fortune.

    So, last night my sister is playing Persona 3 and I'm playing Final Fantasy Tactics on my PSP and the thouht occurs to me how awesome it might be if Atlus decided to create a strategy RPG based on Shin Megami Tensei. Maybe not Persona so much, but maybe after Nocturne where you have to recruit and/or fuse demons to be in your party. I would buy that in a heartbeat.

    They did make one. It was called Last Bible.

    Kind of like Fire Emblem. I don't know many details, though. HG101 had a small article on it.

    A next-gen one would be interesting. (It was on the SNES, I think.)

    Thanks for the info. I did look it up and found that there were three Last Bibles spread out over the GB, GBC, SNES and Game Gear. Only one made it to America and was renamed Revelations: The Demon Slayer for the GBC.

    Having said that, though, current gen version please? :P

    I would totally rock a SMT PSP game that isn't Devil Summoner.

    Now that I think about it, I would probably buy a port of Nocturne to PSP, regardless.

    Disgaea's going to steal enough of our time. Nocturne would just be cruel.

    Atlus is being silly in not localizing Devil Summoner PSP. If NIS can localize all that crap, why can't Atlus bring over a good game?

    I don't think Devil Summoner PS2 sold well enough. Despite being a solid game, it didn't sell like Nocturne, DDS, or P3, as far as I've heard. So, translating it might not have been seen as profitable... despite the fact that it actually might have been better on the PSP than on PS2... I could forgive the strange combat on a hand-held... and I'll be the first to admit that the photo-real backdrops of Devil Summoner would have looked great on the PS2's widescreen.

    Nah that wasn't Last Bible. You're thinking Majin Tensei and there were two of them. The first one was more or less like Fire Emblem SMT ver. The second mixed some terrain effects making it like Tactics Ogre and it took a view like front mission.

    The character portraits in the first were pretty boss. Nicely detailed stuff. I'd like to play it someday, blasted moon language.

    It'd be interesting however if Atlus did put out a modern SMT or otherwise Srpg.

    On a different note, nabbed DDS1 for around 65 after shipping. Jeez I wish it was cheaper but at least it's near mint but without manual. At least it's good that when I go around shopping for 2 I won't have to pay as much.

    Emperor/Empress.

    Fuuka's not too bad, though I dislike her voice acting.

    So far, I've done a hell of a job working up my social rank with Hanged Man, Magician, Hierophant. I only really plan on working up the ranks I like this first time around. Definitely want to grab Devil when it opens up.
