Persona-a-Day #191: October 22nd | Persona 3 Reload

With another positive day in the books Persona-a-Day enters Thursday, October 22nd as I try to keep the successes coming. Between social accomplishments and progress within Tartarus it has already been a great week. In this series I’m playing Persona 3 Reload one day at a time since this year the game’s calendar perfectly matches the real one. It has been the perfect way to get immersed in the story and live the events alongside the characters. I’m glad you’ve decided to join me on this adventure. It’s time for another day. Last time, on Persona-a-Day, the day began early with Elizabeth calling to let me know two people were lost in Tartarus and in need of rescue. From there I was able to enjoy a fairly standard day at school. Nothing of note stood out. Afterward I was able to meet up with Yuko after she finished some extra lessons as she continues to work toward her goal of becoming a physical trainer. She was excited about her goal and having a plan of action to get her there. We talked about how impactful our time coaching the kids had been. They even had a letter for me that they wanted Yuko to pass along thanking me for my help. It really meant a lot to receive that. Yuko and I looked back over the last few months and realized how much more we appreciate having a goal for the future. We’re both planning to keep looking for things to experience that might show us new things to interest and motivate us. This deep connection we share led the Strength social link to its maximum rank and is another bond I will cherish. Given that there were people lost in Tartarus the team and I agreed it was best to head for the tower. Once there we also learned of a lost cat in need of help. We were eventually able to find the cat as well as both missing people and get them to safety. Along the way we encountered another Great Clock room allowing both Amada and Aigis to gain nine levels each and really bring the team average up significantly. The rest of us also gained a lot of experience and honed our skills that much more. The rescue mission took most of the hour so we didn’t climb much higher but since getting those people to safety was our main goal it was to be expected. Next time we should be able to focus more on exploring new floors. With less than two weeks until the full moon it felt good to take the steps we took yesterday in developing our combat strength. While there is still more to do in getting ready it is feeling less daunting with each day of preparation behind us. Can I keep that going today? Would a break be more beneficial in keeping us fresh for exploring? Find out on today’s episode of Persona-a-Day. This was originally streamed to a live audience on my Twitch channel. Feel free to stop by if you want to watch future episodes live. The series continues each day at 12:30 PM ET. Check my schedule on Twitch for stream times in your local time.
