Social Links In Persona 3 Portable

Good morning everyone,

Work yesterday was alright as I finally had a complete interview for the client that is giving us work, granted I think I screwed up slightly, but getting a complete interview was a nice boost to my confidence.

Last night's stream of Persona 3 Portable saw us pick up in the aftermath of Shinjiro's death and Ken basically making his vow to not let what happen be in vain, which evolved his Persona, in addition we saw Fuuka's Persona evolve as well because someone moved away. This is kind of a weird way to show the companions evolving their powers having nothing to do with being directly linked to the main character, which gives things a rougher feel in comparison to how in Persona 5 Royal everything felt as if these payoffs were more important to the character development.

Still we covered basically all of October getting within striking distance of the next Full Moon, at the same time we made great progress on several of the Social Links, completing Yukari's while also nearly finished with Fuuka's. Some of the stories with the secondary characters have been really hit or miss, such as I wouldn't want to deal with Kenji's story every again, while Mamoru's story hits a bit close to home with details that are revealed. Then there is the weirdness of Tanaka's and Nozomi's stories which has me going what the hell!

We did pick up two achievements, Going Nova was basically the result of boosting one Persona's strength to max and getting to do an all out attack, and I'm rather pleased with getting over 50% of the Compendium done, with all the fusing I've spent time doing. At this pint I have 66% of the the game's achievements. Persona 3 Portable shall return on Monday.

Persona 3 Portable Achievements

  • Going Nova: Deal over 999 damage in 1 attack.
  • Moderate Bookkeeper: Register over 50% of the Compendium.

For the raid we dropped in on sweetlindir who was playing Paladins over at twitch.tv/sweetlindir

Also, Happy Birthday to long time friend of the channel PandaSweet! 

Nearly finished the Mass Effect short story commission, I would have had it done yesterday but I took a quick trip to a store to grab a couple of things. This story will be finished for today. The WWE short story commission that I picked up a few weeks ago has been shelved because I was not thrilled with the added changes the client wanted. They know what I'm comfortable writing and they pushed for things I wasn't going to budge on.

Tonight's stream will be starting at 9:30 PM Eastern due to work, so that means no Fall Guys, so we'll be jumping into Resident Evil 6 with Iceman  

So on that note we'll see you tonight over on twitch.tv/fredcasden


Persona 4 Golden and other notes

We opened up Persona 4 Golden tonight, and the intro certainly reminded me of the one for Persona 4 Dancing All-Night... and of course I mad...
