Yeah, awesome turn of events, right? Have any favorite characters? Not counting Saitama. ;D
On a completely separate and random note, I marathoned Gintama's Hosen arc last night. Not as many laughs as usual, but the action was just beyond epic. The ending was really great/deep too.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! (At least down here it is...)
Posted: Fri Dec 25, 2015 2:52 am
MERRYCHRISTMAS ! ! ! [A Christmas Eve special message from Arena Emperor and the staff of Persona 4: FES - The Golden!]
Merry Christmas, everyone!
It's been six and a half years since the Guild began, and we're still going strong! And the only way that this was made possible is through the contributions, the care, the creativity, and the work you've all put into it throughout that time. This Guild is something special...and it's been made special because of the fun we've had together.
Every year, from the Burning of Inaba to the Persona Wars to the Fall of Soji Seta to the Invasion of the Septentriones...when I started this Guild and put up all of the forums, started the plot, all I did was plant a seed...it's your posts, your ideas, your spirit that makes that seed bloom.
I can think of a thousand different words to say 'Thank you.' for what you've done, but it will never manage to do it justice. We wouldn't be here without you. I wouldn't be here without you. And what the Hell, for the light and fun that you've all brought into my life every day you've stopped into the Guild and contributed your part to this big ole' world we've got, I'm still going to thank you.
This is our world. This is our Christmas. And I hope that it's a magnificent one!
...
With all my warmest regards,
-Arena Emperor, Captain of Persona 4:FES - The Golden
Quote:
For Necro: Youmu - > Musashi's Wakizashi: Allows the owner to inherit the spirit of the 'Legendary Ronin', an official Class designation unique to this single person. A specialist in the world of the supernatural with unparalleled gifts in one-on-one combat. Raises the Tier status of the wielder automatically with the potential for further ascent with successful victories in combat. The Legendary Ronin has the innate ability to issue a challenge one-on-one to any foe of a similar or greater Tier value (outside of very specific NPCs)...and in doing so, the two will be shifted to a 'Room' between worlds, an ancient clearing...a perfect place for a duel. In this 'Room' no one can reach Youmu or her chosen opponent until the duel has concluded, or Youmu dismisses the 'Room'. It is the ultimate tool for a swordsman who wishes to test and improve her skill in the way of the blade. Comes with the Ultimate Skill, "Draw-Strike" - A lightning fast strike in which the user slashes with their primary blade (not the Wakizashi) as they draw it from the sheath, the sheer swiftness and intensity of the strike makes it impossible to fully block, repel, or nullify, always dealing at least 50% damage unless drained. Draw-Strike deals Severe Phys Damage and all sword attacks will receive a Boost from lingering damage afterward.
Ailek - > The Black Duelist of the Messiahs (Shadow Jouster) Gift Type: Class Upgrade Description:S. Duelist's Fancy Coat - Summon up to 2 King-type and 1 Wondrous Mage-type shadows of a Medium-strength level to fight alongside the Master every other turn. Each may only cast one elemental Medium-Level, single-target spell, Phys Charge, Rampage, attack physically, and cast Dia. - Armor Equip S. Duelist's Garb - Cast 'Black Fate': Increases Magic/Strength/Evasion significantly. Raise Critical Rate. Belt and Cufflink gains a gold red trim and violet-white body, nullify Light-type damage. - Accessory Equip S. Duelist's Epee - Obsidian rapier with a golden hilt, and the Mask of the Emperor carved into the base of the handle. Increase speed and phys damage done by 25% when wielded; dealing phys damage makes the next attack automatically-critical. May add a secondary Medium Damage 'Strike' to Physical attacks due to superb skill with the blade (1/4 odds). - Weapon Equip Other: Set should be worn as a whole.
Ellie - > Ardor - A heroine's ultimate attack, drawing upon the power of her friends and the thoughts of those in need. Ellie raises a hand to the sky and reaches out with her thoughts to those whom she loves and has helped. And as she does, she pours her energy into a small ball of ethereal force which gathers in her palm. This ball has a High level damage, but of an element that is completely unknown...denoted as, for lack of any other term, 'Spirit'. For every turn that Ellie charges this attack, however, her thoughts may reach another friend...and if that friend is willing, their energy may be donated to increase the power of Ardor as well. Take 1 Turn to reach a new friend. Each friend offers a Low boost to the spell. This can be charged for as many as 10 turns before it must be fired. User may move while charging this attack, and retain power despite taking damage, but if they are KO'd, it will dissipate. In most desperate of circumstances, Ardor can be gifted to another person to throw in Ellie's place, but she must still be conscious to do so. Mind Charge and ANY single Elemental boost may apply to this spell.
"For a family member whose enthusiasm and presence brings joy to this Lord year-round, these gifts are but a fraction of my gratitude to you. A unique selection for a unique friend."
For Rednal: Yuno -> Unheard Agony: The Reagon-ing: Deals Almighty Damage in place of Phys Damage when striking with this blade. May cast Mind Charge, Phys Charge, or both when using this weapon to increase damage! Also capable of retaining a 'Dia'-level healing charge so that if she stabs an ally with this dagger while that charge is attached to the blade, they will receive healing instead of death. May lower SP of enemies by 25% with a successful stab. May be temporarily gifted to any ally during battle to wield if necessary, say, in the event of invasions of Rednal's house.(Weapon)
Kisa - > Patience is a Virtue: In gratitude for understanding in past delays, an encounter in the next 3-6 months (or you get the Candelabra free!), the promised encounter with Dante will not yield only the potential for his Candelabrum, but 2...maybe even 3! The result of which may significantly boost the power (Tier) of Kisa and will endow her with at least one Unique, inherited Fiend Skill!
"I know I've struggled to find time to do everything I've promised you, but I AM a man of my word. Your patience has meant a lot to me, and I want to really reward you for that. So consider this my make-good for the long wait...I'll get you closer to that goal of yours, one way or another."
Yui - > A gift from a certain Messenger looking out for her, helping her to train and grow within the organization, this is the result of a temporary lesson in shadow manipulation which allowed her to copy and master a special technique from a Messenger long-past...
Stolen Shadow Skill: Liberating Speed Description of Stolen Shadow Skill: Using a combination of her persona and her Shadow powers Yui greatly enhances her speed and strength (two Sukukaja/Tarukaja boosts), while her aura hinders her opponents simultaneously (Debilitate). (4 post duration, 2 post cooldown.)
Yui - > A gift from a certain Messenger looking out for her, helping her to train and grow within the organization, this is the result of a temporary lesson in shadow manipulation which allowed her to copy and master a special technique from a Messenger long-past...
Name of Unique Shadow Skill: Liberating Wail Description of Unique Shadow Skill: A high-pitched shriek which unleashes a cone a High Almighty Damage upon an enemy. May temporarily render a foe deaf (1/4 odds) for 3 turns. Use 3 times in any given battle.
"Reliability should be rewarded, and out of all my family, you can always be counted on to be there when you are needed. Keeping a clear head most of the time is good, but do remember to cut loose and have some fun this Christmas, won't you? And with all of those girls, perhaps you can also make some hei-...well, you know."
For Zorc: Cheryl - > Titan Armor - A trained, semi-passive skill which allows Cheryl to react to an attack by hardening her skin into a temporary skin-colored armor which doubles her resistance to any physical attack. It makes her heavier, denser, near-impossible to knock down or temporarily stun. Can also be used to harden a plate over her knuckles which can be used to double physical attack power temporarily. Hardening can be done once every three posts for Armor, every other turn for the knuckle plate.
Zorc - > Ishak Pasha's Armor [Doubles natural defense against all non-Almighty attacks when worn] (Armor)
Sentaku - > Several gifts from a certain Messenger looking out for him, helping him to train and grow within the organization, this is a gift to help Sentaku better serve his lord and survive among the servants of Orochi-Hetero...
Gray Fox Battle Armor (Version 2.0) - A half suit, half physically grafted amount of mechanism from his shadow's power that makes him extremely resilient. Acts like a permanent 'Heat Riser', 'Tarukaja', 'Sukukaja', 'Rakukaja', and Fire/Ice/Elec/Wind Resist.
Gray Fox Visor (2.0) - Provides a voice modifier, and allows him to analyze his opponent's resistances. Can gather data on attacks used against him.

Wrist Mounted Energy Cannon (2.0) - High Physical/Fire Damage, one target. [Accessory]
"What would the family be without you? Always ready with a punchline, a self-depreciating joke, or an earnest joy for the events, the gifts, and goings on of our Clan. I want you to know that you are appreciated, but me and every one of us. I hope a little gift a this time of year will help to remind you of that when times get you down. We're here for you."
For Yoko: Sano - > Shinso - A unique Shadow attack copied from a lesser shadow persona-user...a mockery to far surpass the original and demonstrate his superiority in every way to the Black Messengers and their ilk. Shinso is a powerful spell in which Sano forms a deadly sword of pure light in his hand and thrusts it forward...the blade extended for up to 50 meters in length nigh-instantly at his command in a sharp, piercing fashion. Deals Severe Light-Piercing Damage to a single foe (and anyone standing directly behind them). If Sano wishes, he may swing the extended blade with a ridiculous ease in the following turn, dealing High Light damage to anybody in the path of the slash. Can continue to do this or withdraw the blade at will. After withdrawing, can unleash the Piercing strike again one turn later. Power can be Boosted by whispering the enchantment 'Shoot to Kill' into the hilt of the light blade just before use of the Piercing strike.
Tharros - > The Spirit of Mighty Thor Item Type: Blue Magatsuhi Crystal Description: Passed on at the death of the Guardian Thor, the spirit bonds with a chosen successor to his powers. Imbued with the might of Thor, the owner of this Crystal can summon to his hand the hammer of the Thunder God and with it, wield a new set of powers. To channel the spirit of Thor, the user must crush the crystal (it will reform after the possession but must be kept on their person at all times). The result will be the complete, temporary sealing of their powers which become replaced with these. Signified by white eyes that spark with lightning and a blue aura which crackles with electricity, they may hold this transformation for as long as they choose, but cannot access any other abilities, items, weapons, etc. until they release it. Form's power is on the same Tier as their own. Effects: Summon the spirit of Thor in place of other powers: - Add Medium Elec Damage to all attacks and unbreakable Elec Absorb. - Ability to use Low-Level projectile attack of Elec. - Mastery of the weapon type [Hammer/Axe]. - 5 Skills chosen from Skill List (Patra, Elec Break, Power Charge, Divine Pillar, Agneyastra) - Unique Signature Attack (Thor's Guardian Hammer - Lightning strikes from the sky and hits the head of Mjolnir, supercharging it. Then, throwing the hammer forward, it homes in on enemies and strikes them with a double-charged Guardian Hammer [May be used 3 turns])
San - > Guardian of the Land - Having declared herself the protector of Lady Narue and having a remarkable power at her disposal to do so, Lord Seo gifted her for all of her service over the years with a unique item...a strange seed on a chain which she may wear around her neck...and at any given time, clutching this seed and speaking or thinking of her desire to defend that which she holds dear will imbue her with a remarkable power...
Guardian's Wolf Cloak - A thick coat of fur which wraps around the shoulders, giving her an intimidating bearing...taken from a wolf attack on a certain boy when he was a young demon. The pelt was made into this cloak, which fills the user with a determination and power...raising defense 2x, granting full Ice, Water resistance, raising speed 1.5x, and allowing the user to call upon a snowstorm when fighting in the same [Okina Subforum or Taihaku Home Forum] as San's family home which slows enemies and obscures vision, allowing San's first attack to always be a surprise attack. (Armor)
Guardian's Mask - A mask carved from an unknown material, belonging to a certain boy when he was a young demon. This mystical mask was enchanted with runes carved on the inside which help to protect the wearer in the most dire of circumstances. Gives the user Endure. When enemy uses Enduring Soul, only revive with 1 HP instead of Full. Grants magic damage increase. When fighting in the same area [Okina Subforum or Taihaku Home Forum] as San's family home, may cast an intimidating illusion of a two-story tall wolf to scare away intruders with its intimidating howls. (Accessory)
Guardian's Spear - A simple spear carved from wood and topped with a strange stone arrowhead; its simplicity belies the incredible magic within. This spear, when it touches someone, dispels all magical effects temporarily...good or bad. Meaning brushing the arrowhead over your ally's shoulder will cure them of poisons or stat debuffs, but striking an enemy could dismiss all of their boosts. Can be thrown or thrust at an enemy for High Phys Damage (deals a little more damage if thrown, in which case the spear will streak through the air in a brilliant golden light through and past the enemy).
"You might be territorial, but that strength has saved what's most precious to the both of us on several occasions. You may have arrived a little later (or sooner) than I'd expected or hoped, but you are an invaluable part of this family now. It's hard to imagine what this place would be like without you around now. Thank you for your energy, your cheer, and much, much more."
For Stick: Misha - > Ice Poke of Doom - Using her incredible affinity for the ice element, Misha focuses a superchill into the tip of her finger and when standing in front of an enemy, she simply...pokes them...and an explosion of Severe Ice knocks back an enemies a short distance!

Leon - > Power OVERCHARGE: A semi-berserk mode (upgrade on the 'Power Surge') in which Leon's fighting spirit increases his power significantly! Raises attack, defense, and hit rate/evasion for 5 posts before requiring a 3 turn cooldown.

Haruka - > Heartbreak Shot: Contains two different types of arrows (Healing Arrow - Restores moderate health restoration from even longer distances than spells would be effective...if you can hit the target) and (Haruka's Mega Magic Arrow of Love! - Deals high light damage with each new shot!)

During Gekido, he can unleash a primal shout which hits the enemy with immense force, dealing Heavy Wind/Phys damage to one chosen target on impact. Hihi's Mask - A mask which allows the wearer to cloak himself in fear, preventing the status entirely. Causes instant recovery of other status effects.
