    That doesn't change, either.
    Her entire ending is her being told, explicitly, why breaking the lockdown is a bad idea (GOD WILL DESTROY EVERY SINGLE LIVING THING IN THE LOCKDOWN IF YOU DO) and then deciding that the best way to solve this problem is BREAKING THE LOCKDOWN

    I don't hate Aigis, but I don't think she was the best character. I like Junpei quite a bit, although I really thought the team was going to have to fight Chidori and Junpei would defend her. Looking back it sounds crazy but it seemed to make sense at the time.

    Ken irritated me by the end of the game though. Akihiko too. I think I was rocking Yukari, Mitsuru, and Koro chan at the end of the game.

    Aigis was a little too much of a sitcom character trying to adapt to her "wacky" human friends, but had appeal nonetheless.

    Nobody pissed me off more than Ken in that game though. I think it had something to do with his wretched voice actor. He sounded like a 50 year-old pedophile trying to sound like a child.

    Can you chose anything else?

    I've never really tried.
    You can do Kendo, Track, or Swimming and Music/Band, Art, or Photography.

    But does it matter for Social Links, like is Kazuki on any of the teams or do you always end up joining the Kendo team to get the Strength/Chariot/Star social links unlocked?
    Kazushi is magically on all three teams.

    Until you pick a team and the waveform collapses.

    Well done.

    I've unfortunately had very little free time the last few days. I'm about an hour into my new cycle and am currently tearing through the Citadel. Should be able to make some progress today and tomorrow.

    see for me it was the other way around

    i looked in the drama club and was all AAAAHHHH SKINNY DRAMA GIRL, I KNOW YOUR KIND

    and then beat a flaming trail to the music club and took my chances with the not-really-a-ten-year old

    Except for the part where the Music Club is an Average link and Drama club is complete bullshit the whole way through.

    I mean it's no Basketball vs Soccer where if you liked Soccer more you're obviously insane, but Ayane is pretty clearly > Yumi 99% of the time

    You see. When Atlus stops milking Persona 3 and re-releases Persona 4: FES(guest starring Aigis), I will never...never take the Drama Club link again.

    That link infuriated me more than any other. I even liked the Moon link better than that one. I'll just deal with the LOLjapan that is Ayane because I won't put myself through that.

    Of course you liked the Moon link more, Dragkonias.

    The Moon link is one of the best in the game. Along with Emperor, Hanged Man, Basketball Strength, Justice, and Hierophant.

    Well, it got better after level 5 so it was okay, but she was a real pain in the butt until then.

    The Drama link, on the other hand, was okay until level 3 then it was all downhill from there.

    Ai was awesome even during the early links. She's the only character in Persona 3 or 4 that could actually boss around the silent protagonist.

    45 minutes.


    And NOT to Gaea Rage, mind you. Arahabaki + Titania + one lucky run did everyone in.


    Arahabaki's going to become my priority one. He has to go.


    So safe to say, if Dormina doesn't connect, the fight's over. Because that ended two otherwise good runs twice. The one time I survived Gaea, the above incident happened.


    I might need to make everyone support and just let Heat Ragnarok everyone. Or have Serph and Argilla focus solely on Hito after the Gaea passes.


    If I'm doing this good at 81, I think 99 should be a breeze(compared to this anyway).

    The worst feeling is when you think you're doing good and then you remember he hasn't healed yet.

    I think dormina misses by both agility and luck and wears off by luck. Have high agility and low luck. It's better to have the chance of sometimes dodging dormina than never dodging javelin rain or mamudoon.
