We Finished Persona 3 Portable!

Hi everyone and good morning,

It's about 4 AM as I start writing this as we finished Persona 3 Portable at about 3:45 AM... and I could've probably finished at around 2 AM, (keep in mind the stream started at 9:30 PM and I typical would go to 1:30 AM ), but what held things up was the fact I spent a lot of time in filling out the Persona Compendiun, which means along with completing all the Soical Links and defeating the Nyx Avatar and Nyx itself there are 3 achievements left to get in the game, two of which I can easily get by loading an earlier save and the final requires a second play through using the Female protagonist.

My total run of Persona 3 Portable took about 87 hours which isn't bad, considering we did a guided play through and covering every major aspect of the game that we could knock out without too much trouble. There was a big concern that we would've get the social link achievement, but thankfully the Yuko and Aigis had days that didn't overlap to ensure knocked that out.

Now I was shocked... SHOCKED... to see that once I got the Male-Protag to level 99 to see that his stats basically jumped to max levels. Which will explain why facing Elizabeth and Margaret are not recommend for anything less than level 99, the game becomes broken in that regard. Not to mention I did make sure to make the best possible weapon in the game and boosted the best possible Persona in the game, Orpheus Telos to having near perfect stats.

Since I was reading all the dialog out, things got tough late game and in the epilogue when regards to death and so forth, considering how this year has gone for me, between losing my mom and having a major falling out with my father. Yes I was tearing up on stream... not the first time, not the last time that's happened.

For whatever reason my mic was picking up a lot more audio than usual from my speakers, so there was a bad echo the entire night. I think I might plug ear buds into the speaks plugged into my monitor since to negate that... can only do that on nights I'm not playing co-op stuff however!

For the raid we dropped in on tsukinoraijin who was also playing Persona 3 Portable over at twitch.tv/tsukinoraijin

Work last night was good, we had the assignment where we just had to put forth out best effort and hope for a completed interview, and I got one.

This afternoon my uncle is swinging by so that we can get the final paperwork done so the house officially becomes mine... big day.. and a reminder of how terrified and uncertain I am about my life...

The plan for tonight's stream will start with Resident Evil 6 with Iceman, as we'll be starting up Chris' campaign. The stream will start at about 9:30 PM over on twitch.tv/fredcasden

And now I' go to sleep for a few hours!


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...
