Persona 2 play log 2: Joker rumours & Mu Continent

Continuing with the Persona play log, here’s part #2! Covering two days of gaming this time.

After finishing Kasugayama High, our party needs to find more leads to the Joker since they have exhausted all their options so far. So we go around the city asking our Rumourmongers about new things they have heard of. A new area named Konan opens up after you talk to the first three Rumourmongers and a fourth one is located there.  Unfortunately the Kuzonoha detective agency is empty at this point so we cannot spread rumours yet =.=

In the meantime, I decide to feed the cat there. Apparently, if you feed it 10000 yen, it’ll give you an Incense Set which increase your stats. Easy right? If we didn’t have to feed it in increments of 100 yen!

Pop it in? Strange way of putting it. *pops in 100 yen* *pops in 100 yen* *pops in 100 yen*…

After 10 minutes of this nonsense, the cat finally spits out my Incense Set. YES! However the madness doesn’t stop here… next area is the police station in Konan.

We find a dog here that also wants my hard earned money! Another 10 minutes wasted popping in money for more stat increasing items. Then we go take a look at Maya’s apartment.

Maya’s awesomeness went up tenfold after that scene. It’s a change from the clean rooms that protagonists have *coughSoujicough* At this point the detectives should be back at the agency, so we go and spread our rumours, buy some weapons, then follow a rumour about a ghost closet in the Abandoned factory…

Hm what a light picture, dunno what happened there. We run into the boss after going around a bit. It’s a freaking CLOSET! I wonder if the table enemies from Persona 4 were modeled after this boss here… It wasn’t too hard a boss though, cast a few fusion spells and it went down in a few turns.

Next destination is the Mu Continent casino where we heard that the idol group named Muses were gathering for a show. The back of the casino is home to a whole entire DUNGEON. I should stop capping random words, but this game is really, really strange.

That dungeon is huge alright. Ran in there for two hours and finally got to the end of it. I still have to collect some Tarot cards so I’ll be spending some more time there but imagine how much money the casino owners must’ve spent on a dungeon extension…

And to finish, the usual party stats. Gained 3 levels since the last log and added 3 hours of gameplay. I really hope it’s not going to be one level per hour ^^;
