    I'm at about 5/21 and I just maxed Strength, Yosuke is at 4, Yukiko is at 3, and Chie is at 2. I'm doing the fox's second quest right now and I also started Devil. I think I'm doing pretty well so far.

    I'm at 10/1 or so, and only Yukiko is maxed. Just about everyone else is at 6-8, with Devil at 4 and Sun at 5, excluding Fortune, which I haven't started yet.

    [Random Progress 7/14 (Th)]
    7/10 (Su) and 7/11 (M) were like whoa. What comes next, I wonder. For now, a week of studying for finals, and after finals, drop into the TV for a little bit of Questing/leveling.

    And since listing S.Link progress seems to be in vogue right now, I've been keeping detailed track of where my S.Links are (including the days when I've been advancing, haha)...
    Fool: 6
    Magician: 7
    Priestess: 7
    Empress: 4 (should be 5 after I level up Chariot once then fuse the Ara Mitama)
    Emperor: 3
    Hierophant: 6

    Lovers: -
    Chariot: 5
    Justice: 5
    Hermit: 6
    Fortune: -

    Strength: 7
    Hanged Man: 3 (ready for 4)
    Death: -
    Temperance: 1
    Devil: 1

    Tower: -
    Star: 2
    Moon: 2
    Sun: 6
    Judgment: -

    Fool leveling twice on 7/10 kind of made me feel like I was behind, but I think I'm looking good so far.

    Man, some of these fucks in the laboratory dungeon are professionals. They ambush me and wail away at my main--exclusively--with high powered Ziodynes. It's like a fucking mob hit.

    Thank god for the team jumping in to take the shots, and thank god I figured out early to use Mamudo.

    Well, it's better to max them during the summer break when they're the only people around (aside from Temperance, Death, and some of the Hermit stuff), but yeah. You guys are insane. If nothing else, you should be maxing Sun, Strength, Temperance, and Devil ASAP because of the stat bonuses you get along with doing them.

    Well, she can pass as a feminine looking guy pretty well, and pretty clearly has been hiding her gender. It's not like it's just that everyone assumes she's a guy when they first meet, she pretends she is one. And remember, it's not just how they personally choose to dress. The school has uniforms; even the main characters are wearing altered versions of them. And, well, guys are supposed to wear one and girls another, so that's gonna make people think she's a dude. Not to mention how remarkably good at binding she is. After hearing all the policemen and such referring to her as male, and seeing her chest with just a regular shirt over it, I even believed she was a guy. Slightly disappointed that she wasn't too. I thought it was a little more interesting with Kanji being into a dude. Oh well, I'm liking what I'm getting from those two anyway.

    Kanji doesn't THINK he's gay. That's why he was so confused about being attracted to Naoto. Now, certainly, arguments could be made about him being bi, or at least bicurious, but he certainly knows he's attracted to women.

    No shit. I sent a pic of him to my friend and he said he was going to have nightmares. Was pretty funny. a different friend of mine also called up at the start of that battle telling me how freaky it was. I wasnt at him yet but I soon found out. People seem to agree!

    Yeah, he doesn't think he's gay later on, but he thought he was. Or at least thought he might be. Even after his dungeon and a couple months Naoto was still clearly giving him some trouble before they found out she's a girl (I really wish they gave him some more lines about that, rather than him just being uncomfortable and silent). He might be bi; to be honest, I'm not too clear on his sexuality. He's clearly got some attraction to women going on, but I'm not totally sure he's straight either.
