“Persona!” If you couldn’t tell by my tweets, I gave the game another crack after trying and failing to beat Shadow Mitsuo who, as far as I’m concerned, is an irrelevant flop. That boss battle gave me so much grief and I’m happy to see him gone — bye, Mitsuo! Don’t let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya!
A huge chunk of why I love this game is because of the ability to form bonds with others that affect what they’ll do for you in battle (e.g. “Yosuke will now die for you!”) and because my friends ingrained in me the habit of getting through dungeons quickly, I had ample time to relax. Soon realized I was being far too complacent about my progress in the game. There’s obviously a ticking calendar in this game, which means there will obviously be a point in which I can no longer level up my social links (side quests who??). For all I know this whole adventure could end in October, and here I am just loafing around in early September with only three social links maxed out. None of which are in the Investigation Team. CATCH ME WHEN I’M INEVITABLY FLOPPING IN THE FINAL BATTLE BECAUSE I HAVE NO MEANINGFUL FRIENDSHIPS
I had to be careful at this point, and I had to out-calendar the calendar! Cue: your girl taking a good hour and a half to figure out how to make color-coded and separate calendars for each character link. YES.
I plan on removing the dates for characters whose social links I’ve maxed out, but I have a lot of work to do. I barely just saw Naoto on the Midnight Channel, and if Shadow Mitsuo’s difficulty was any indication of how much harder this game is going to be… womp womp womp.

this has just made me realize i need to do the same thing!
Yes! Don’t fall into the same trap!
You made the calendars? o _ o I must salute your dedication to P4!
I did… and then I realized the game tells you when/where to find them anyway, but it’s helpful when I’m just wandering around Inaba, haha!
