rionaleonhart: kingdom hearts: sora, riku and kairi having a friendly chat. (and they returned home)
More Persona 4 Golden!

Yosuke blushes while we're giving him a piggyback ride! (You bet I looked up which option gets you Yosuke when you're playing the King's Game.)

I realise this game has strong themes of accepting who you are, but it's still slightly disconcerting that it has so many 'this character decides to make a change in their life to make themselves happier! ...and then decides not to make that change after all, happy end' plotlines. Sometimes making a change can actually be good, Persona 4! It doesn't necessarily mean you're rejecting the person you are!

Yosuke described the two of us as 'a well-oiled machine' and then said, 'That costume's a good fit for you,' winking. I still can't believe this game includes such blatant flirting and yet Yosuke is not one of the eight goddamn romance options.

Very cute that Yosuke asks Nanako, 'Is your brother home?' (I mean, I realise he probably does this because the player names the protagonist; it's not like they could have voiced him asking whether Toya is home. But it's still cute.)

'You received Passion Candy from Kanji.' Did I, now? (He later gave me a Sincerity Cookie.)


Persona 4 Golden spoilers, up to the fourth of December. )


Apparently you have to choose six dialogue options correctly in a row or you miss out on a substantial part of the game and don't get the real ending. Moreover, there is literally no indication that there are multiple endings or that that sequence of questions determines the ending you get. You could easily get the false ending, save your clear data and even start a New Game Plus with no idea there was more game you missed. Atlus, that's - that's not good game design.
