Dragon Quill

The opening of my first draft, back when I thought I’d be doing this in a single post, was “Persona 4 is better than Persona 3.” That was very naive. I’m now quite confident the opposite is true: Persona 4 is so bad it makes Persona 3 look good.

Let’s go over all the social links before the conclusion, including the ones I didn’t finish in the liveblog.

Last time, I went through the optional dungeon added in the rerelease revolving around how the rerelease-exclusive character was very special, but I didn’t care because they didn’t put any effort into making her likable.

This time, it’s Valentine’s Day! I am dreading the horrors.

Last time, the investigators deduced the real real culprit by, I kid you not, literal process of elimination. Perhaps today we’ll learn there’s a real real real culprit?

(more…)

Last time, we hit the ending divergence point, by which I mean the “pick the right options or get a bad ending” point. Trying to actually solve the mystery didn’t work because the game wanted me to act like an idiot who didn’t know anything, so I did that.

Last time I made a new social link, but I still don’t have them all. This time, the plot continues… maybe?

(more…)

Last time, the real culprit was revealed to be even more boring than the fake culprit and John’s baby cousin got hospitalized. That means now is definitely the best time to go on dates!

(more…)

Last time, the game managed to get even worse than the campout. It was thoroughly vile and confirmed the writers are transphobic and misogynist pieces of garbage, not that that was ever really in question.

But there’s still more game, so let’s trudge onwards. Maybe there will be plot this time.

That evening, I get a letter from the killer demanding I don’t rescue people anymore, then I get… an anime cutscene of someone alone in a room furiously scribbling names and ranting about how he’s going to “protect” people from the world? That doesn’t track at all, the culprit clearly knows he’s killing people. Or is this another fakeout? The cutscene was voiced, but it didn’t sound like Adachi.

On the 5th we learn about how different countries tend to center themselves in world maps, and the teacher asks where Japan is found in non-Japanese maps.

YOSUKE: I don’t even know what he’s talking about… Do you know the answer, John?

Have you never looked at a map, Yosuke?

Naoto comes back to school on the 6th.

When I get home, Adachi is there and also drunk.

ADACHI: They found Naoto-kun! Oh, uh, do you know who Naoto-kun is? He just up and vanished without a word, but it looks like he’s back now.

This sure must be awkward if you wait until the last minute to save her.

Last time, we had our obligatory beach episode that still managed to be less bad than the campout, and Nanako desperately needs a restraining order against Teddie.

Anyway, the case is closed so I’m sure the next term will be completely uneventful!

Scheduling note: Farla is busy with Pokemon reviewing month, so Persona 4 will have to go on hiatus for a little while after this.

Finally, it’s time for the summer festival.

My teammates are available for hangouts even though school’s out! Nice, it was really annoying how you got locked off from them in P3.
