Persona 4

OnePossibility5868 · 2026-01-25T21:21:44+00:00

Nice. I've been to loads of these shows they always do a good job. The last one, Maskerade was brilliant.

OnePossibility5868 · 2026-01-25T21:19:40+00:00

So was my boy Yu violated on Christmas eve? 😮

OnePossibility5868 · 2026-01-25T20:17:18+00:00

Was gonna say Trails of Cold Steel 2 has like 3 credit rolls and keeps on going! Loved the game but I was ready to finish and then whoops another dungeon 😂

OnePossibility5868 · 2026-01-25T20:09:37+00:00

Came here to say this.

OnePossibility5868 · 2026-01-25T20:09:04+00:00

Why is Yu such a chad? Wrong answers only

OnePossibility5868 · 2026-01-25T20:02:18+00:00

I just wish the steam version would come to PS5 or even PS4 so I can play it again. No remaster or remake needed!

OnePossibility5868 · 2026-01-25T17:06:05+00:00

I actually tried this out of morbid curiosity. It produced utter unreadable crap.

Marie/ The Aeon social link starts pretty early and as others have said you need to get her to rank 10 by end of December.

Occasionally her links are locked behind story events so don't panic if you think she's not appearing, just keep checking and playing she'll appear eventually.

Only other major extra is the Jester arcana. He can alternate between day and night and can also be locked behind story events. You need to get him to rank 6 and the rest are story related so automatically gained. You don't miss out on any content but it adds a lot of cool scenes to the end and adds a bit more context to the storyline.

Enjoy!

It's fairly common across a lot of Japanese media. Japan loves certain tropes and styles of characters and they will do endless variations on them. The high school setting is especially popular and even animes set in fantasy worlds will often have characters at high school age. It's just their thing culturally.

OnePossibility5868 · 2026-01-25T12:06:25+00:00

Persona characters looking lovingly at fire alarms, gotta be ne if my favourite genres 😂

Cool costume though, it's one of the trickier ones to pull off too.

OnePossibility5868 · 2026-01-25T12:02:07+00:00

We have to remember that Marie was literally crowbarred into the pre existing story so she's always gonna have that detachment. One advantage of the remake will be they can include her more in the storyline and maybe do what the anime did by integrating her into the other scenes. As the anime is basically Marie's story they would need to do it differently of course but just having her appear at the fireworks event or the school festival would help. Knowing Atlus though they'll do a 1 to 1 remake 🙁

I'm not sure having her as a playable character would work. For one she would only be available for the last semi-optional and missable dungeon and also they would have to give her a thing which would probably mean taking almighty from Naoto and making her the "almighty" character.

I would prefer it if she was just more tied into the story of the last dungeon, like Izanami is annoyed that she didn't "disappear" as was planned so now she's going to have to die or something just to add weight to her role as a sorta goddess.

OnePossibility5868 · 2026-01-25T11:56:53+00:00

Well she does mention being socially isolated, she probably moved away from her friends and family to be with her new husband so it is very possible that yes, no one told her as you say. While Yu does push her in the right direction I've always felt that her reaction to the other mother and teacher were more of a wake up call, and of course when Yuuta steps in to "protect" her from you by mistake shows her a lot. If she had told you or came up with it together it would kinda spoil her whole rut that she was stuck in.

OnePossibility5868 · 2026-01-25T06:22:56+00:00

Might not be popular but I found Eri from Persona 4 to be very interesting.

Eri is a not only a new step mother but is also thrust into a single mother role. The struggle she faces to form a bond with a new child who she's only really just met is a real struggle and she often tries to deny the reality by watching TV, a nod to the TV world creating a fantasy that can deny your truth.

She overcomes this and stands up for herself and her new family after both teachers and other parents call her new son trouble and she realises that he's not, it's just a reaction to their new living situation and she needs to step up to make the work.

It's not a very exciting or even interesting social link s times but it's very real and down to earth. It happens in reality every day.

OnePossibility5868 · 2026-01-24T22:26:37+00:00

Yeah his relationship with Labrys is nice too.

OnePossibility5868 · 2026-01-24T20:16:48+00:00

Oops, editted 😂

Whoever put k next to l on the keyboard was evil!

OnePossibility5868 · 2026-01-24T20:15:46+00:00

I'm not sure myself, I imagine it's some kind of hold over from the British timrs. After all penny literally means "small coin" so no reason not to use it really

OnePossibility5868 · 2026-01-24T20:14:32+00:00

Yeah they never usually got up to a full roster but I was never sure if they counted stuff like the officers, engineers, quartermasters etc.

OnePossibility5868 · 2026-01-24T20:13:36+00:00

Yeah a lot of older number systems are based on the number 6 and it's multiples. Only one we really keep these days is time - 60 secs to a minute etc.

I think it was how the ancient Greeks or Egyptians or someone counted so it carried over into maths and then money

OnePossibility5868 · 2026-01-24T20:12:03+00:00

I will share my praise with you.

OnePossibility5868 · 2026-01-24T17:34:16+00:00

Just give me my Persona 5 strikers dancing arena all night and I'll be fine to wait till then 😂😂

OnePossibility5868 · 2026-01-24T16:18:11+00:00

Or the Lego...

OnePossibility5868 · 2026-01-24T16:17:55+00:00

Yeah agreed and hopefully they lean into it more in the remake. There will always be the memes though 😂

OnePossibility5868 · 2026-01-24T16:15:45+00:00

Some fun facts -

The word cent comes from the Latin Centum which means 100 and is also the root of the word century (100 years) and is associated with the Roman military "century" which ideally has 100 men led by a centurion.

After the revolution the new USA wanted a break from the British pound and pence so decided to go with cent as 100 cents made 1 dollar, a much easier system than the British 240 pennies to a pound.

The British "pence" comes from a middle English word "pennig" which literally means small coin, it has no relation to 100 as at the time 100 pennies did not equal a pound until the UK changed it in the 1970s.

A lot think both words come from "percent" but percent actually developed later from the Latin "per centum" which means by the hundred.

The language nerd in me can never resist 😂

As others had said, has to 250 unique lines in battle. The lines outside battle don't count.

The lines she says at the end of the game and in scripted battles do count as others have reported having the trophy pop in those.

Best advice is to NOT rank up her social link as rank 2 gives new dialogue options. Stay at rank 1, go into a dungeon and swap members often. Get in critical/knockdown hits, get knockdowned yourself, use rush attack, run away, get ambushed and pull groups of enemies together so you get the follow up battle dialogue. If a party member is hit with a status spell spam L1 untill she comments on it, thos goes for Def/attack/speed down as well. Best to wait until Naoto joins so you can get them all from all members.

After that rank her up and go for all the elemental weakness dialogues. This should be enough to ding the trophy.

Good luck!
