Go to the police station and listen to the conversation. You'll receive 5000 yen only from Akihiko. Feel free to buy anything you want but I recommend you not to buy anything from the police station because it's too expensive and you'll eventually find most of the weapons & armors in Tartarus. So there's no reason to waste your money on that.

*Remember the Police Station is open mostly in the morning and sells you the weapons and armors you need. Although sometimes it does open at night.
*Discounts only on Monday.

You'll be free to do anything you want after you leave the police station. Better get some status recovery items(around 10-15 for each kind will do). You'll return to the dorm when it's evening. Mitsuru will speak to you. Listen to what she has to say.

*When Mitsuru is around then you can explore Tartarus if not then you might as well increase your Academics by studying in your room.
*Also remember to take note on your status. If your condition shows that you're Great or Good then you can explore Tartarus that night. If it states Tired or Sick then it's best to sleep early to improve your condition. Do not go to Tartarus and battle enemies, you'll die easily. Also never study when you meet these conditions.
*You get to choose when you want to go to Tartarus so it's up to you to decide for the best of the team. It's best to go often as possible to level your team up and prepare for the next Full Moon encounter.

Persona 3 FES : Hint & Tips

-It is important to save often and on different files as an extra copy if you did a mistake you can redo it again. In Tartarus make sure you save once you enter because if you meet Death then say goodbye to your hard earn exp.

-Always Analyse your opponents to find their weakness so the battle will be a piece of cake.

-Save your money, don't spend too much on items.

-Weapons & Armors can be obtain in Tartarus so don't waste your money on weapons.

-Always check your status. If you're sick DON'T I repeat DON'T go to Tartarus. You'll die easily if you ignored this warning.

-Shadows in red are stronger than normal.

-After class make sure you level up your Social Links with your friends. Some S.Links needs certain level of stats, Academics,Charm,Courage.
e.g. For Yukari's S.Link to be unlock, max your Charm.

-Fusing Personas are very important but without the S.Links it's useless to fuse them. So make sure you max all the S.Links if possible.

-During quiz time make sure you answer correctly to increase your academics.

-Never dose off in lecture as you need the academic points to increase your academic stats.

-When you're not exploring Tartarus, use the free time at night to get your Charm,Academics,Courage stats level up. I'll leave you to find that yourself.

I think this is about it if I miss anything leave a comment. If I remembered anything I'll update it.

Persona 3 FES : Introduction

This is the game I've been talking about so what's the story about? Persona 3 FES developed by Atlus is actually one series that is divided into two parts "The Journey" and "The Answer". "The Journey" is the main playthrough while "The Answer" is an expansion pack where you get to see what really happened after the end of Persona 3, P3 for short. So I'll give those who haven played this game or did not notice the presence of this top game awarded in 2007 a briefly summarised story about the game.

The Journey
You will be playing a male character who lost his parents 10 years before coming back to his hometown. He stayed at the Dorm and found himself getting caught into something big. Where everyday during midnight is a hidden time which only few knows about it. This hidden time known as the "Dark Hour" occurs every midnight and monsters known as "The Shadows" appear during this time. The public knows nothing of it. The Protagonist must face multiple ordeals that falls on every FULL moon. What awaits him is something more terrifying that you either choose to save the world from destruction or let the world vanish and be destroyed.

The Answer
1 month after the events of P3 the SEES members are still at grief for the lost of the protagonist. This upsets Aigis, an Anti-Shadow weapon that sort for her meaning in life although she is just a robot but somehow managed to understand what it means to live during the P3 events. In this chapter, you get to use her because she is the big star now! So she's the protagonist for this chapter. After the lost of the protagonist, Aigis lost her meaning to live because she cannot protect the protagonist anymore. Thus, she became a robot without feelings and wanted to shut down herself. During the last day at the dorm as it is going to be close down since school is out. The members of SEES gathered together to spend one last night together where they found themselves trapped in the dorm. That's not all...they are trapped in time where everyone believes the next day and the rest of the days to come is March 31. What's happening? Why does time repeat itself? What are the SEES going to face this time with the leader(protagonist in P3)gone?

*Note: Some events from the original P3 has been altered in P3 FES. Some addition personas are in it as well. New Social Link(Aeon) and the best part is that you don't have to look at the dull school uniform you wear every time investigating Tartarus. Mostly the costume is more for the female characters. So my guide will only based on P3 FES not P3.

**I almost forgot to tell you that "The Answer" will be tougher than the main playthrough "The Journey" so make sure you played "The Journey" first before even thinking of starting "The Answer".
