Oh, Persona 3, I had forgotten how very special you can be
So I finally got around to starting Persona FES with the benefits of New Game+ a little while ago. I've clocked in about twenty hours and I'm in the beginning of June.
The social links in FES seem easier than the original, although I'm sure knowing what I'm doing and having all my stats already maxed out helps. I've almost completed Hierophant, am about halfway through Magician, Justice, and Hermit, and I've started Chariot, Strength, Temperance, and Devil.
And, man, I am never scheduling dates for the weekend /again/.
On Saturday, I go out with Chihiro after school. We go out for coffee or something, but she's not feeling well, so she goes to the drug store and, when she comes out, is harassed by a dude who suggests she has been buying CONDOMS. As Chihiro is afraid of dudes, this does not go over well, and when mp3-kun stares the dude down and scares him away, our relationship grows.
So much so that, that very night when I get back from being hit on by Tanaka the Gay Pedophile, she calls me and asks to go out on Sunday.
But, shit, my inner persona scheduler tells me, I have /already made plans/. But it's only with Kenji. Kenji is a dude. He will /totally/ understand that I had to cancel our plans to go to the arcade so I can make time with a cute girl.
Wrong. The Magician goes into /instant/ reversal and he sends me a pissy text message.
I groan, reload my game, and tell Chihiro I have plans when she calls to prevent Kenji from throwing a hissy.
Kenji and I go to the arcade on Sunday and afterwards, have a beautiful conversation wherein Kenji is /extremely relieved/ to discover that I've never kissed a girl.
Man, why don't girls get jealous when I go out with /Kenji/?
