Midnight's just around the corner. Let's Play Persona 3 FES!

I vote for a no S-Link run.

I vote for a no-Tartarus run.

And I vote for you both to go to hell. >

I wasn't actually being snarky. I guess I meant a no-finish S-Link run because I'm kind of curious to see what happens in the end if you haven't completed any S-Link other than the required storyline ones. My guess is nothing special, but I still think it's funny.

I wasn't either. =)

See you in Hell, ringworm!

I'll get there first and form a clique with all the cool people and we'll exclude you and you'll be all lonely.

That's okay my dad runs the joint.

Wait a minute....my dad runs it...

I was actually going to see if you can reach the bad ending on a fresh file without ever going to Tartarus (aside from the first day since you can't not go) but it was after I had already burned out on the game and I didn't even get to the second full moon.

I was playing on Easy of course, since it'd be even more stupidly hard without abusing the continue items. Also, Mitsuru makes you go on 4/31 if you haven't gone since the first trip, but all you have to do is find a green teleporter to take back.

Wait, TODAY's the day isn't it? Crap, I'd forgotten.

I was going to start my own play through but realized my copy of FES is hundreds of miles away in another state.

unopened... and Non-FESed. What's the difference? I was going to sell it should I not?

I am so ready to be spoiled. I'm like milk that's just a couple days past the do not sell by date. Like you smell it and its kinda iffy and you're not sure, so you pour just a little in a glass and take a tiny sip and you're like, its not too bad, and it'd suck to throw out 1/4 gallon. Yeah, I'm so there...

But serriously, I feel the same way as Kirin.

Keep it, open it, and play it for a bit first. If you don't like it, THEN sell it.

EDIT: Oh, you mean differences between versions? I'll go over it a bit more over the course of the LP, but here's a general list:

*A whole bunch more personas to use, as well as some rebalancing for the older ones;
*The ability to fuse weapons and acquire alternate costumes for the PCs;
*One extra S. Link;
*A lot more sidequests to complete with a lot of bonuses to go with them;
*The addition of extra scenes and skits into the game;
*A small sequel that fills in the blanks and adds to the ending of the main game;
*And some other things I can't quite remember right now.

The most important of the additions is probably proper endings for your social links.

As for what S-Links you should do for this playthrough, a proper playthrough requires you to get with ALL the ladies.

Okay, it's been a week and here are the standings so far:

S. LINKS
Magician - 3
Priestess - 8
Empress - 6
Emperor - 3
Hierophant - 0
Lovers - 4
Chariot - 1
Justice - 11

Fortune - 1
Strength - 4
Hanged Man - 1
Temperance - 3
Devil - 3

Also, um, wow. You guys really like Justice, don't you?

(*'_'*) /_(-.-)_/

So far, I'm leaning to either Morty or MC Escher. Morty C. Escher, maybe?

So far, everything's going pretty great. Keep those votes coming in!

Putting in another vote for Empress and Hermit.

Call the main character Marcel Marceau.

Hey, you can blame Mazian for that since he anti-voted for him. :/

Unless anti-votes are a no-no? What's the general opinion on them, anyway? Decide for me, Talking Time!

I anti-vote anti-voting.

I also preemptively anti-vote everyone else's votes for anti-voting.

I vote for Strength and Emperor.

I am pro-anti-voting. Also anti-pro-voting.

I don't think anti-voting makes any sense.

Fuck anti-voting.

I'm going to have to vote for Hierophant! Bunkichi and Mitsuko are awesome, and my MC* thought of them as the grandparents he never had. It's not right for them to be left out in the cold like that

Kohryu is also one of the best Personas out there, especially if you can get all four elements on him.

* Another vote for using "MC" or a variation thereof (Emcee?) as MC's name. But only if you have it mean "Master of Ceremonies" instead of "Main Character."

I think this is a pretty clear majority. A'ight, anti-votes are out, then. I'll go edit the first post and add up the new tally.

Why do people on this forum like moe moe girl so much?

I have fixed and answered this question.

Chihiro scares me, to be honest. :x

Yeah, in P3 at least I think Chihiro is creepy and possibly psychotic.

This is all true, but... glasses.

Well, then grab a Sharpie and draw glasses on Mitsuru whenever she's on-screen. I'm sure her fangirl/stalker would appreciate it.
