Amusingly enough there's still a 4 in the background...
In hindsight, I probably should've gone out fishing today.
From today onward you can fish at the Samegawa river.
We'll take care of that tomorrow though, there's nothing else to do outside.
Now that Yukiko's with us, I think it might be good for her to get some experience being in that place...
Just give us a call if you want to go. See ya!
We'll do that tomorrow... I decide to finish off the batch of origami cranes.
Considering exams are comnig up, you may wish to study instead, you are rewarded for doing well.
> Your inspiration cheers you up, and you begin working on making cranes with just one hand!
> The bundle of cranes has been completed!
> As a reward from the volunteer association, you received Antibiotic Gel
The item restores 200HP to a single target
Nanako's greeting message differs based on what you did during the time period before, quite a nice touch.
With nothing better left to do, I head to bed early; you should probably spend some time studying if this is your first time through.
Good morning.
Every time it rained while I was "over there," you must have been...
---Oh, I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be gloomy.
Ryotaru said he'd get the 4th and the 5th off from work, there are no plans for the 3rd. We can probably safely leave preparing our bentou for the evening...
It looks like we're going to have clear skies all week.
It'll be nice if it could stay peaceful like this, but the mystery hasn't been solved yet.
Perhaps we should visit "over there" once in a while so we can become stronger.
Your duty is to study! You don't have time to foll around, alright!?
Especially the girls! Those skirts are too damn short! Are you that desperate for attention, or what?
You girls are giving the school a bad reputation! try being modest for a change!
Yeah, go turn into gossiping housewives, pshaw!
And for the guys, remember, the "greatest virtue" is attainable by those who suppress their worthless desires!
I don't think Descartes was entirely right, but I'm sure the idea of "virtue" is completely lost on you dumbasses!
Next order of business!
Midterms are coming up next week! The results will be posted to humiliate low-scoring losers!
If you don't want to be shamed, study hard! It's that simple!
If you do well, who knows!? You may become a more popular cretin! And you know,
popularity leads to intimacy!
On top of that, my reputation goes up. It's a win-win situation, people! Like I said, study hard!
I told you, that you are well rewarded for doing good... Clearly good grades are the key to building a harem, harem anime protagonists can learn much from Morooka-sensei
> You listened to the lecture intently...
> Your knowledge has increased.
We first take a detour to the riverbed...
<Old man> When I was younger, I used to spend more time haulin' fish in than I did sittin' with my hook in the water, but now...
<Old man> Ho ho! I'll lend you some of my fishin' gear, then.
<Old man> Let me tell you, fishin' is hard work. You you need is
Diligence.
<Old man> You can still fish without
Diligence, o'course, but you'll get pretty darn tired of it quick.
To summarise, you can fish once for every rank of diligence you possess. Reeling in the rod before a fish grabs the wait does not consume the bait or one of your attempts
<Old man> ...Oh, well. Here's a Fishing Set. I'll give you ten of these here Baits, too.
<Old man> Fishin' in the day is fun, but night fishin'... That's just stylish.
Hint: You can catch better stuff at night, and even better stuff when it rains
<Old man> Do whatever you want with the fish you catch. If you don't particularly want 'em, I'll trade good stuff for 'em.
<Old man> Good luck, boy.
<Timid female student> To be honest... I haven't been able to sleep lately. i'm afraid of so many things out there...
<Timid female student> But if i had some sort of charm, I could calm down and actually rest... I think.
<Timid female student> Like an Angel Statue, or something... I get the feeling that it could protect me...
<Timid female student> Someone from the city like you should know where to get one of those, right?
<Timid female student> O-Of course, I'll repay you!
<Timid female student> Umm... How about I trade you my old good-luck charm for it? It's a key.
<Timid female student> I don't know what it's a key TO, exactly, but it seems like it could be worth a lot.
> Accepted Quest 01: "Acquire an Angel Statue"
You can never have enough chest keys...
<Male student> All right! Well, what I want you to do is...
<Male student> Do you know that girl from our class who always goes up to the roof?
<Male student> ...I want you to go see what she's up to. No! Th-That's not what I meant!
<Male student> I, uh... I just wonder what she does up there, that's all. Think you can ask her for me? Like, what's her hobby...
> Accepted Quest 03: "The Girl on the Rooftop"
Sure thing Romeo.
How can I help out?
...I forgot to tell you!
For some reason, I feel a powerful Shadow in the castle.
Maybe this world is getting unstable from people going in and out...
I don't think this shadow is related to the culprit, but I don't like it being here.
I'd be happy if you could defeat it for me.
First we head to the liquor store, where we pick up a unique weapon for Yosuke.
I thought I accepted another quest too that required me to pick up some sake, seems not...
We then head to the castle... We unfortunately need to start again, the first 5 levels are an absolute chore now as I can just "rush" everything to death in under 5 seconds without depleting any of my resources; the transitions between combat and the dungeon take far longer than that!
I do want some better gear for when the next dungeon crops up though...
Level 1
Loot
1x Vanish Ball
1x Chest Key
1x Soul Drop
We move up to Level 3...
Arcana Chance is a little minigame that is played after the shuffling/roulette/memory step where you may obtain a Persona.
You can choose not to play, but you must play the previous minigame to get access to this.
The particles in the background use the RNG, so by all means, abuse savestates if you don't like the outcome.
Typically the cards spin around, but the Fool is an exception, a wild card you could say.
The fool can turn into a difference card of any orientation.
Fortune modifies the Luck of a random Persona, it increased Sandman's by 2.
I think the empress affects your HP, I decline playing this round...
One of my favourites. This card practically guarantees that every encounter will assign an Advantage to one party. In the upright position, we are the benefactors.
Level 3
1x Vanish Ball
1x Life Stone
1x Hiranya
1x Fire Pin
Whoo! new abilities, and Chie gets an all-target Ice attack, whoo.
Against 3 or more enemies, the ma- attacks are far more efficient, especially if you want to abuse enemy weaknesses.
This card modifies the strength of a random Persona. Sandman was once again the benefactor.
Level 4
1x Revival Bead
1x Tranquil Buddha
1x Ice Cube
This card is my absolute favourite. In short getting it in the upright position will restore your party's SP.
The Chariot modifies Agility of a random persona.
Sandman is once again the benefactor
The first encounter where I couldn't just rush them all to death without losing more HP than is desired...
It was... M-Majestic!
Level 5
1x Life Stone
1x Talisman'
We finally make it to Level 6, and start to get some palatable experience from the encounters.
You'll generally want to fight monsters with a higher or comparable level to yourself, you'll get a pittance otherwise.
My second favourite. We don't exactly benefit from it right now, so we don't play.
More Personas...
Not really a good card IMO.
When shuffle time pops up, it'll turn the empty cards into duplicates of the Persona cards selected for this instance.
The upside down version replaces them with penalty cards.
In this example, all the empty ones turn into the "Pixie" Persona.
Level 6
1x Life stone
1x Snuff Soul
1x Revival Bead
Yeaaah!
The Magician Arcana mutates one of your skills.
Typically it does things like change zio into mazio and vice versa.
None of my Personas had a skill suitable for mutation.
It also dispelled the effect of the Sun Arcana. If you get a bad roll on the Arcana Chance (eg, reversed emperor), playing Arcana Chance again is your quickest bet at getting rid of it.
Keep in mind, you are taking a considerable risk when you gamble with some cards, eg Death.
One enemy caught me off-guard... only to miss, fall over and get finished off by an all-out-attack.
r00fles!
Level 7
1x Smart Bomb (100 non-elemental damage to all enemies)
1x Cool Beads
1x Soul Drop
This fellow is the Contrarian King.
He opens up the fight with "Red Shield", which is quite inane - He bolsters his resistance to an element he already absorbs (fire).
Killing Blow is one attack hell use a fair bit, this one will hit you for about 1/3 of your health.
Next is Hysterical Slap, this can inflict rage and does 1-3 regular attacks (random) - enough to kill any of us in one strike.
Then is rampage. Which does a lot of damage to us all. He can easily wipe out the whole party, at full health, even whilst they're guarding, by using that ability.
So do yourself a huge favour, bring A Persona who can nerf his attack prowess (tarukunda?).
Better yet, equip a persona that is resistant to the physical affinity.
Physical Mirrors will also be of huge help, as will lowering his accuracy/evasion and defense.
We use wind, ice and physical attacks, ice prove to be most effective at present, wind was nullified.
I as waiting for red wall to expire before I tested for fire resistance.
When he gets a critical, he follows up with a skill that lowers everyone's defense. His already painful attacks are even worse now.
I revive him on my turn.
Luckily he misses Yukiko, so we're okay for a turn
We are probably about halfway at this point.
He used Rampage and killed us all, bugger...
I have an earlier save state around, so let's try that turn again and see if we can poll the RNG a bit differently, so he doesn't use Rampage...
The true face of determination!
Yosuke was at full health before the enemy's turn - Hysterical slap is absolutely lethal to us at this point in time.
We also lower his defense.. I currently lack a skill to reduce his attack power
Welp, lost cause, restore...
I instruct everyone to guard this time... and then we die.... restore!
Welp, another lost cause, restore.
Save states are awesome...
we're about 80% of the way at this point...
He kills Chie in one fell swoop...
Yosuke deals the final blow...
> You have defeated a mighty enemy...
> Your
Courage has increased.
Soon... we will get rampage for ourselves....
You'll generally find a unique item at the place of the dungeon's respective bosses. It's a laudable improvement so I equip it on Yukiko.
I opt to take the long way back, mostly to fight some additional shadows for additional loot. I really want some better equipment for the next dungeon...
Increased the strength of Yomostsu-Shikome
+2 to Angel's magic attribute
As previously mentioned, one of my favourites.
It reduces your HP to 1, it resets the dungeon, restores your SP, and teleports you outside.
This one is a terrible risk to gamble on though, I think failing reduces your HP to 1 and your SP to 0.
See!
We weal up and head back, as you can see, the dungeon is entirely reset too.
This card doubles the gold gained from fights temporarily.
I forgot what these two do, I don't recall being very fond of their effects though.
I ran out of keys for the large chests... they've been giving me rather shitty loot too. 3x Cool beads...
Loot
1x Cool Beads
1x Snuff Soul
We head back home for today, should be plenty to get some decent armaments...
<Announcer> The vehicle, which was abandoned at the scene, had been reported stolen by a local contractor.
<Announcer> Since the culprit was able to act quickly before the security guards arrived on the scene, the police have...
......
Dad's late...
......
Yeah... Yeah.
......
...Okay.
......
...Alright.
He said to give you the phone...
He can't take those days off.
Hello, Sorry, but I'm going to be late tonight. Make sure you lock up before you go to sleep.
And about that time off on the 4th and the 5th... One of the younger guys got sick...
Sorry to spring this on you all of a sudden...
Um... How's Nanako holding up?
Would you mind comforting her for me? ...Thanks.
All right then, see you.
> You recalled that
the midterms start next monday.
> Study...?
You probably should, as I and Morooka-sensei mentioned earlier, you are well rewarded for doing well in the exams. Your knowledge score isn't everything, but it plays a large part in deciding the final rank..
Y-You ate my nikudon...
You're going to pay for that!
Speaking of nikudon, I found this when I googled the word
