As for the Social Links in question:

Lovers - Talk to Yukari with max Charm, but you have to make sure you're not working on the following Social Links, unless you want to start constantly undoing Reverse SLs: Justice, Strength, Empress, and Priestess

Priestess - Talk to Fuuka with max Courage, but you must keep in mind the same thing when starting this Social Link

Empress - Talk to Mitsuru with max Academics, and this is another "date" Social Link just like the others, so starting this SL while dating another woman will cause too many probelms that are not worth fixing in the long run.

Tower - I don't know, though I believe it's the only Social Link that you can work on during the evening.

Star - Just go through the athletic competition, then talk to Mamoru at the strip mall (not Paulownia Mall).

World - I don't think there's a social link for that one, but there's one for Judgment, which is a storyline SL.

As for what order, there's no real order, just as long as you focus on one "date" social link at a time. Then super focus on any SLs you have with corrisponding Personas.

As for tips, give your hero a fairly good accessory in relation to whatever equipment and/or Personas you use (like if you have a weapon that increases your chances of a Crit Hit, then equip an accessory that further increases that chance).

As for my character, he's Lv 86 on Normal and going through New Cycle mode. He has a Yoichi's Bow (ATK 318), a Papal Robe (DEF 128), Lion Sandals...I think (EVA 110),, and a Sorcerer's Mark (restores 5 SP per turn); and currently uses Orpheus, Apsaras, and Pixie (Personas don't carry over, but I hope my compendium does).

Hmm....interesting.

And yes, the compendium does carry over. I remember seeing it in a guide, and I think in the game manual too.

Yesh. Though, one of my friends saw FES just yesterday over at Gamestop over here. He didn't get it, just told me about it. lol.

It's already August, so only a few more months! =3


Sadly, most people who have already gotten their hands on that Japanese version have already beaten the game (too much spare time on their hands? huge weekend plans?) even though this game has been out for only a month in Japan.

Huge weekend plans.....IN GAME.
Sorry, just had to do it.
