I figure I should make some sort of Persona 4 post so everyone knows where the hell I disappeared to.

All right, I'm on the beginning of August, and I'm already fairly certain that I'm going to end up doing a New Game+. Unlike Persona 3, I think I'm in love with every social link that I do, and all the ones that I don't finish I really do want to finish, esp. the Moon and Temperance-God, I haven't even started the Tower or the Hanged Man yet? I spend all my time eating oddities and expireds out of the fridge and then making Yousuke lunches. Whenever I think that someone is generic or can't get anymore adorable, they prove me wrong in the most fantastic way possible. Yukiko, for example, I wasn't too fond of (even though that could have had something to do with the dungeon ...) until the game revealed her laughing fits, and her need to be independent of her self-made destiny. Then I just loved her.

The S. Links this time around (in comparison to Persona 3) are not only a hell of a lot more realistic (insert Minato banging girls here) but more specific too the story. Seeing your friends' shadows, and then expanding upon what they really feel in S. Links? Absolutely brilliant. It certainly has to be my favorite part of the game. As for the dungeons? I seriously want to kill myself. I have Nocturne flashbacks. Making me keep running into random battles where all I can use is Mudo to kill five shadows when I'm trying to conserve SP? Fail. Also, the enemies killing you with one hit when it's not a boss is also kind of fail. Going through the same dungeon five times does not make me happy. Two I could probably handle, five I cannot! It's also difficult to level up, and since I'm a bit higher now, the only battles that really give me any exp. are the really difficult battles that drain my SP. AND WHAT THE HELL ENEMY ADVANTAGES IN BATTLE?

However, the story and the characters makes all this dungeon grinding worth it. Even the protagonist, who's still silent, is far different than Minato. The whole subtleties in this game make me very happy. The whole idea that Souji is going through this when he knows he's going to leave, and learning to build bonds with people and enjoy himself is really tear-jerking. I have a feeling I'm going to sob terribly at the end of this game.

I think I'm the only person who likes Teddie. I should make a bunch of Teddie icons that no one will take so I can show my love for the little blond pervert.

Anyway, I'll be around! I still have to make icons from the Caramelldansen Persona 4 video that terrorcandy sent me. Bad thing? There's no Kanji and Naoto side by side :( I'll have to edit that. That and this one ... s-so cute ...

I also have textures and icons! But I want to wait until I can finish my Persona 4 ones. I'll say it again: hard to icon Caramelldansen is hard.
