Back in Persona 3, I gave the floor 72 boss a shot but got crushed quickly on the first attempt, as usual. I tried again, using the tactic of keeping all but one knocked down and having everyone else focus on the remaining one, when I discovered that Akihiko and Junpei were basically useless in this fight, doing hardly any damage or not doing anything at all. Although I was tempted to reset and get Mitsuru, Yukari and I managed to keep going and gradually wore them down, though it was a looong fight. After that I snuck up to the 85th floor, where the next boss is, but stopped there for the night, finally ending this game day that’s been split over four sessions now.

The group went on vacation, where more was learned about the incident ten years ago and Yukari’s family history. At the beach, Junpei initiated Operation Babe Hunt, where we successively got shot down by various groups of girls on the beach, including a transvestite. During that we discovered Aigis, a cyborg created to fight shadows by Mitsuru’s father’s company, and she joined the group. Disturbingly enough, the messages I get when I talk to her imply that I can become ‘closer’ to her.

And there were a couple more cutscenes with the three weirdos that also operate during the Dark Hour, and they’re apparently not so happy with our plans to destroy the tower and end it…
