The story of the Persona series. Part 8. Persona 4
Last time, we met the new owners of the person. With protagonists Yu Oski, Yosuke Hanamura (production. Joske Hanamura), Tie Satonaka (production. Chie Satonaka) and Yukiko Amagi, who at the end of May saved the ambiguous rebel Kanji Tatsumi (production. Kanji Tatsumi). In this matter, the strange creature of Teddy, who played the role of their navigator in the TV world, helped them greatly. After that, Kanji joined their investigation about the murders that recently occurred in the small town of Inaba. Ahead of schoolchildren summer is the most favorite season for teenagers, and I will talk about this part of the game today, in the eighth part Stories of the Persona series.
Japanese is not a simple language. It is careful from the Russian and English vaccination to us. This is what. And to the fact that the writing of some Japanese names and their pronunciation can vary greatly. For such cases, the text will sometimes surfaces, how exactly the name of this character is pronounced.
In June, the main characters are waiting for a school campaign, and the girls, in the person of Tie and Yukiko, decided to prepare the ingredients in order to prepare something tasty for the guys in the campaign itself. Already in the place of the schoolgirl, so to speak, they put the whole soul in their dish, because Tie is a lover of everything meat, and Yukiko helps her family in a hotel, these girls know a lot about good food. So Yosuke and Yu thought, but in reality Tie and Yukiko managed to cook … hmm … The word “cook” is not very suitable for describing this “dish”. Tie and Yukiko created a biological weapon, from which not a single cockroach would be saved. What can we say about Yosuke and Yu, who, having tried purple something girls, I remind the girls “prepared” Curry, would immediately go to the forefathers. Fortunately for Kanji, he could not try the “dish” of girls, for he is the first year, and in another group than our four.
But the comedic scenes do not end there. Already at night, Kanji comes to Yu and Yosuke tent, as his classmates are tritely afraid of him, he came to a more friendly company. At first, the guys do not mind that Kanji stayed with them for the night, but then Yosuke recalls the guy’s ambiguous orientation, well, and … you never know what can happen at night when Yosuke and Yu will sleep defenselessly next to potential gay. These words hurt Kanji’s pride, he decides to prove his masculinity by invasion of a female tent. It is not known for certain what happened to Kanji when he left the Yu and Yosuke tent, but then Tie and Yukiko come, the culprits of the empty stomachs of the guys. Girls say that Kanji burst to them, after which he immediately turned off. By the intonation of TIE and Yukiko, you can understand that Kanji was not just exhausted and there was a tie leg and Kanji’s head, but we certainly will never know. The girls asked to stay at night with the guys, and those, not thinking twice, are accepted by their request.
The next day, the school campaign continues and Yosuke invites everyone to swim. However, Kanji refuses, because after yesterday’s unexpected disconnect he is unwell, the girls do the same, because they forgot swimsuits. Fortunately, Yosuke is not a stupid guy, and to stare at beautiful girls in a swimsuit, he actually bought them swimsuits. Having remembered the girls an attempt to kill Yosuke and Yu with the help of food, the girls still change clothes, satisfying the eyes of the guys. And at one point, the guys went too far with the examination of the figures of Tie and Yukiko, so that the girls quickly sent Yosuke and Yu to swim in a cold lake, encountering them from a small hill. A little later, Kanji goes there for the same reason. Well, for the same reason, according to the girls, it is actually unclear why Kanji had blood from his nose. Indeed, in Japan in different works with the help of bleeding from the character’s nose, show his excitement. So, in this scene it is unclear whether Kanji was excited from the naked torso Yu and Yosuke, or from the Bikini girls … although it can be from both.
The lake, although beautiful, is even a waterfall, but the water is cold and a little vomit, since one of the teachers went through with alcohol and he had to release all the contents into a beautiful lake. I am sure that after this campaign the three guys accurately earned several psychological injuries for themselves.
The fun cannot last forever, therefore, https://tgcasino.org/bonus/ when the schoolchildren heard that a popular idol came to Inaba, everyone was a little tensed. The popular idol of Ris Kujikawa comes to Inaba (production. RISE Kujikava) who decided to take a break in her television career and live in her native town. As Yosuke correctly observes, RISE is ideal for the role of the next victim, since it suits two Yosuke theories immediately. The first theory is that everyone is in any way connected with the first victim-Maimi Yamano, and Ris appeared a couple of times on the same show with Mayumi. But the schoolchildren decided not to really rely on this theory, since the threads, which are connected by almost all the victims, are very stretched, so the second theory pops up here. The second theory says that the victim is the one who recently appeared on TV and attracted a lot of attention. Mayumi, Yukiko, Kanji and Rice just attracted a lot of attention, and in the case of RISE, Inaba even revived a little, since everyone wants to get her autograph. Apparently, for a killer, this serves as a principle, to kill the people popular at the moment in Inaba.
On a rainy night, the heroes really see the silhouette, which is madly reminiscent of RISE, so Yosuke theory was confirmed by 100%. However, the question that has been in the air is immediately popping up, and like the shadows of people who have not disappeared, appear on the midnight channel a few days before their abduction? Schoolchildren suggest that since the killer knows about the TV world, he has a person and maybe he knows more about the TV world. Therefore, it may be somehow connected with the midnight channel and when he thinks about the next victim, his thoughts appear on the midnight canal in the form of a shadow of a man whom he wants to kill.
Okay, from stretched theories we proceed to action. After the school of Yu, Yosuke and Kanji decided to check the rumor that RISE is now living with her grandmother in the Tofu store. Having come to the place, the three meets the detective of Adati (production. Adachi), after all, RISE is a national star, idol, if simple words. So the entire city police were kicked out into the street to control the onlookers and the crowd, and since the local station is quite small, even the detective was forced to regulate movement. Poor Adati accidentally frightened Kanji, and his boss, Uncle Yu, Dodzime (production. Dodjima) I had to catch up with my ward. But first, Dodzima, as always warns Yu and his friends, so that they are careful and do not go where they do not need. After all, the police are not fools, they already realized that RISE is a potential victim. And on this Dodzima went to catch up with the frightened adati. There were a lot of people in front of the store, but everyone soon left, as they began to suspect that the rumor of finding RISE was a lie. This also upset schoolchildren, especially Yosuke, which fan from RISE. However, the guys decided to go to the store anyway and buy at least a little tofu. And to universal surprise, they still meet a RISE, which in reality is very different from itself in front of the cameras. If earlier Yosuke saw her like an energetic girl all the time, now in front of her is a tired schoolgirl. A little bit of the beauty of the girl, the guys get down to business. They warn Ris that she is the next victim, and that she had already appeared on the midnight channel. Rise says she saw how a girl who looked like her appeared yesterday on the midnight channel, but it was not her, since Ris never starred with such a swimsuit. Therefore, she is sure that it was not her. Although RISE is still grateful for the care of the guys and, in gratitude, gives a little additional tofu.
The next day, all members of the investigation team come to the Tofu store, simultaneously intersecting with Adati, who was instructed to look after schoolchildren. All day, schoolchildren, along with Adati, guarded RISE from possible abduction and then suddenly everyone notice how someone climbs a pillar and climbs unsuccessfully. Realizing that he was noticed, the suspicious type is trying to escape, but he is quickly caught. Adati is sure that they caught a real killer, so the detective leads the criminal to the station. However, it immediately becomes clear that it was just a stalker who wanted to make a bunch of pictures of RISE, which, incidentally, unexpectedly disappeared. Although Grandmother Ris says that the girl sometimes leaves without warning, there is no doubt for schoolchildren that the real killer has already stole and put Ris on the TV. Viewing the midnight channel on the same day only confirms their thoughts, since a shadow of RISE appears on it again, which this time directly invites everyone to see her strip show. The whole world should see her naked, true itself.
The next day, Teddy says that he feels someone’s presence, but without additional information it is difficult for him to configure his scent. Schoolchildren, wandering around the city a little, dug up a little information about RISE and now the bear was able to bring them to the place of location of the girl. This place is a dungeon, which is equipped as a stripper club. And when we reach the shadow of RISE, we will see that she is dressed in one swimsuit. After all, all fans perceive RISE as an object of adoration, which they are ready to look at forever and also see more. However, for the girl herself, the view of her shadow means that she wants everyone to see who she really is, so the shadow is almost naked, so that everyone can see her real. RISE has been suffering for a long time from the fact that on stage she and her agency came up with RISE too many images, and her fans are even more. As a result, from the side of the fans of Ris, everything comes to the point of absurdity. When the girl was “hiding” in the Tofu store, she did not hide at all. She just wore a apron and was not so energetic and fun as on stage. As a result, a bunch of onlookers came to this store to take an autograph from their idol, but they did not notice RISE there, since she was a boring and ordinary girl in the apron completely did not fall under the image of RISE that the fans came up with her. Her devoted fans did not recognize RIS on everything.
The whole world does not care about which RISE actually, it is hidden behind a million Lines of cameras, costumes and views of its adherers, and no one sees what she really is. The girl wants everyone to see her real, so the shadow of Rice is a striptezer who wants to be exposed completely, to discard all the false images and show herself true. This was the reason for RISE to come to Inaba, because she denies her stage image, which even has her name – RISET. And seeing this time quite tangible to his second person in the form of a shadow, Ris again begins to deny those aspects of herself that she does not like. But the denial of the shadow liked the shadow itself, and it turns into a more ominous form, which is destined to defeat our personnel users.
The shadow of the rice already looks like a naked stripper, who dances on the fun of the crowd, but the skin of the shadow is multi -colored and this may mean that fans of the rice themselves came up with for themselves who she actually. And each color of this shadow displays one such person invented by fans. The shadow has long nails, which can mean that many represent RISE, as a stupid schoolgirl, who is trying to stand out all the time. At least so it seems to be. And instead of the head of the shadow – the antenna that refers us to the profession of a schoolgirl. Also, this antenna may mean that Rice calmly changes its face, that is, its images, as if it switches the channels on TV. In addition, this symbolizes that she does not have a face, no one sees the true RISE, for the TV shows only the image, the color that it is now covered.
During the battle against the shadow, schoolchildren will stop hitting the boss at one point, so the shadow of Rice calmly wounds all the persons-users and is already preparing to deliver the last blow. But here our navigator, Teddy, stands alone in front of the shadow and awakens a certain power in himself, which helps him to finish off the shadow. As a result, the shadow is defeated, and Teddy looks a little tired, like Ris, who decided to accept her shadow. After all, she, her shadow and image of Risset – this is her real. After accepting her shadow, the girl acquires her person – chemical.
Chemisto is not a goddess, but a real woman who rules the principality of Yamatai in the period from 173 to 248. Due to the fact that Khimiko the rules for a very long time unknown whether it existed and in which area of modern Japan was Yamatai. However, in one Chinese historical work, chemicals mentions that it hints at its reality. The ruler of Khimiko loved absolutely everyone. During her reign was calm, although she is strictly ruled. Here the battle can be drawn an analogy between RISE and Chemisto, since both girls worshiped, in one case fans, and in the other submitted. When Khimiko died in the country began mourning, many were especially difficult to endure the loss of their ruler, a similar story is now happening with RISE, who left her fans leaving the stage. The design of the person itself shows us how Rice constantly puts on bright clothes, even though it really inside it is dark. The antenna, like the shadow, remained at the person, but now it is proudly directed upwardly means that the person is a rice type of navigator. When a person is a rice leen, this symbolized her emptiness and facelessness, just as the antenna accepts signals, her image fills with the meaningless fantasies of people, representing her as they want. But, as part of the person, this symbolizes its acceptance of the fact that Ris and Risset are the same person, exactly like all other images that were created for her and herself. They are all part of her. RISE accepted that there is no true RISE, but all its images are real she.
Arcana’s “lovers”, which hints at the beauty and charisma of the girl. RISE can calmly start a dialogue with a stranger and lead him for a long time, so her person has a person instead of her head, due to the girl’s ability to communicate. One of the features of the Arcana “Lovers” is obvious, the love itself, so the girl will repeatedly flirt with the protagonist, hinting at her love for him. Coincidence or not, but one of the early concept arts of RISE is very much like Lisa from Persona 2, who also had Arcana “lovers” and was in love with the main character.
In fact, RISE had many prototypes, one even went to another character, and the girl herself was planned not only as a playable character with a chain as a main weapon, but she still had to have a character that is similar to Kanja. You just imagine a constantly badly -haired, rude and aggressive idol.
