Persona 3 update.

[aruru]

FINALLY had some time to play Persona 3 for a bit today. Made it to the 14th floor of Tartarus before my whole party got tired and had to go back. Dammit, I can barely explore around the floors before my guys get exhausted - guess I need to focus more on finding the stairs first. Pooh. :P

Got SUPER-lucky at drawing fortunes at the shrine one day (forget which) - I got a fortune that not only gave me 10,000 yen, but also boosted my status to Great AND gave me a Lucky Charm! Awesome! :D

Joined Student Council as per Mitsuru's request. Also hung out with Kenji when he called me up (Social Link level is still at 2 with him, though... I think), met the old couple from the bookstore and got their Social Link, played the MMORPG and got that Social Link (was very amused by the Innocent Sin references, even though I've never played that game and only "got" the title and character names bit), practiced with Kazushi twice (his Social Link's at 3 now, w00t), and started putting the mack on Yuko (team captain) and got her Social Link. Dude, I am SO making the hero a pimp. Possibly more pimptastic than Ocarina of Time-version Link! XD (Though Link gets serious points for being pimp even as a ten-year-old. XD)

Anyway, after all that, I made it to May 1st (SOOOOO lagging behind y'all, I'm telling ya. ;_;), and met Shinjiro (Akihiko's friend) for the first time. He seems... interesting. Wonder why he looks so pissed off in his portrait... hmm, I think I'll refer to him as "Sour-Look Boy" from now on! >D

Had to quit for dinner after that, though. So no, not that much progress. :(

Am considering returning to Tartarus and take on the 14th floor boss that day in my next play, though the hero is stuck with the Tired status (Junpei and Yukari are fine, though). Good idea? Bad idea? :O We shall see some other time, I guess!

Small piece of advice here, for the 14th floor boss. Make sure you've fused some of your Personas (can't remember which offhand) and have the Ars Arcanum Persona before going into the fight. The boss completely resists physical attacks, and can take out a party member with one special attack. You'll need to be at least level 6 before you can fuse Ars, and his Social Link is the sports team, so good that you've been working on that one.

Good luck. First time I fought the boss, he wiped the floor with me. Need to go do some more training and get him back for that.

Hee hee, I think you mean Ara Mitama? Ars Arcanum was a move Sora had in the original Kingdom Hearts. /nerdiness XD

Anyway, yeah, I am indeed at level 6 from all the fighting around, and I just noticed that the Persona in question was a Chariot Arcana, which meant that it got a two-level EXP boost. Awesome!

Thanks for the advice! :)

Also, as an aside, how did you find my journal? I'm curious, as I don't usually get that many new responses (Or are you an old responder that hadn't replied to me in a while?). I'm always happy to hear from new (or "resurrected") people, though! ^_^

Bah, you're right. See, this is why I like sleeping, because it makes my memory go non-wonky. x.x

As for how I found you, I've had you on my friends list for a long long time. I forget how it was we first met. Might have been a forum somewhere, been too long. As for why I haven't responded, well... I generally don't have a whole lot to say? But given as I'm playing the game myself (with a bit of help from the strategy guide, which is a godsend), I figured I'd offer a bit of advice. Good luck on the boss. You'll need it. I'm starting my game over to do things a bit different, as I went into the battle again and got creamed.

Haha, don't worry, that kind of thing happens to me all the time too! XD

Ah, I see. I thought your name looked kinda familiar - I've probably noticed it on my FList before (but since I check it so infrequently, I must've brainfarted and forgot... ^^;;). And don't worry about not answering frequently - I tend to go for long stretches of time not-replying to other people's posts (due to generally not having much to say either), then suddenly go on a reply-frenzy, so I know what that's like.

Anyway, nice to re-meet you! :D
