Persona 2: Eternal Punishment Miscellanous info FAQ v1.5 Index: I .- Disclaimer II .- Version History III .- Affinity Table IV .- Item Return Table V .- Aromatherapy VI .- Treatment Courses VII .- Q&A VIII .- Credits ------------------------------------------------------------ D I S C L A I M E R ------------------------------------------------------------ This document was made to share the info found while playing the game and get some recognition within the gaming comunity. Feel free to post this document in your homepage as long as it is not edited in any way without my permission, and if you mail me about its usefulness it will make me feel a lot whole better about this work ^_^. [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[THIS FAQ IS NOT A WALKTHROUGH]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] It is merely an in-depth look at some aspects of the game. If you NEED some help passing some section of the game, I recommend getting help here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/game/27381.html My e-mail: spade@c4.com ------------------------------------------------------------ Version History ------------------------------------------------------------ [11/02/01] Version 1.0: *-> Had several sections but decided to stick with only the affinity table because the rest could be found in other faqs. Version 1.1: *-> Updated the Q&A at the end. Version 1.2:[2/13/01] *-> Added Aromatherapy and Treatment Courses started with Item Return table again with Archaeopteryx permission. Version 1.3:[2/18/01] *-> Got to the point where I found the rumor about the genie gaining "affinity reading power" and I made a second affinity table with it.. Interesting! The return table list is a pain and still under construction but I've added some more. [2/21/01] I finally finished the game at lvl 61,55:51:44 hours and with the legendary personas...awesome fight. Its 2:05AM and am enjoying the credits...it was all worth it. One word..Excellent. Now...to play it again..*snicker* I want to see the Ex-dungeon. Version 1.4:[8/02/01] *->Well, its been some months since I moved on from playing the game to another games, I was half-way through this version in May but due to school I had to postpone it until now, so I added a item return table from Archaeopteryx's FAQ and updated my email since @usa.net stopped giving free service. Version 1.5:[1/08/02] *->Noticed gamfaqs had version 1.3 instead of 1.4, so I added a little introduction explaining this FAQ IS NOT a walkthrough(I got some mails about it). ------------------------------------------------------------ Affinity Table ------------------------------------------------------------ How this works: When you aquire certain rumor, you are able to get affinity readings with the Sumaru Genie for 5000 yen, the genie tells you about the affinity you have with a certain character depending on the answer you give her to the 6 questions she asks you. For example giving her 6 "Yes" answers will give you the Eldest Satomi Sister as your affinity character and thus she will give you discounts in her store! (Magazines cost 400 yen instead of 500 yen, useful when you wanna buy 99 to have a chance to win something in those sweepstakes). Now, I made a table with all 64 possible answers to the 6 questions the Genie asks you, it works like binary code(because of the Yes or No choices), if you dont know binary I'll explain after the table. Remember: 1 = "Yes" 0 = "No" ------------------------------------------------ |00|2nd Sister |20|7th Sister |40|7th Sister |01|Katsuya |21|5th Sister |41|Tony's |02|RosaCandida |22|7th Sister |42|2nd Sister |03|Eldest Sis |23|6th Sister |43|Eldest Sister |04|6th Sister |24|5th Sister |44|Nate |05|Peace Diner |25|Parabellum |45|Eldest Sister |06|H.

The new list is below. Mainly ALL of the Sister's affinities changed. ------------------------------------------------ |00|Belladona |20|Eikichi*** |40|Brad |01|Katsuya |21|Meepo |41|Tony's |02|RosaCandida |22|Yung Pao |42|Trish (Fountain Faerie) |03|Assachi |23|R.Chunky |43|Ken(Eikichi's friend) |04|Jun |24|Guido! |44|Nate |05|Peace Diner |25|Parabellum |45|Chief Todoroki*?* |06|H.

WTH? Im Irgri? ***The password is lovely? *_*Huh? Knife seller? *?*Makes every two-sided rumor the good one? *!*This one is a MUST before you go shopping there..REALLY!(Padaparcha Store) ------------------------------------------------ Rumors about Affinities with non-store-owners characters found on the board or emailed to me: From Tainted Beef: the only thing that happens when you get affinity with party members (aside from warm fuzzies) is that the damage during fusion spells between maya and that person increases slightly. no changes in storyline or dialogue, etc. ------------------------------------------------ How binary code works: Its all in the sum. We give a value to each position: 32,16,8,4,2,1 We multiply the value with the number(either 0 or 1) if its 0, the result is going to be 0 (32x0 = 0 ) if its 1, the result is going to be the value(32x1 = 32) Examples: ----------------- |0 0 0 0 0 0| = 0 ----------------- They are all 0's so we ignore them and add nothing to nothing. (0 = 2nd Satomi Sister/Belladona) ------------------ |1 1 1 1 1 1| = 63 ------------------ They are all 1's so we start to add giving each position its value. From left to right: 32+16+8+4+2+1 = 63 (63 = Eldest Satomi Sister/Tatsuya) ------------------ |1 0 1 0 1 0| = 42 ------------------ From left to right: 32+0+8+0+2+0 = 42 (42 = 2nd Satomi Sister/Trish) ------------------ |0 1 0 0 1 1| = 19 ------------------ From left to right: 0+16+0+0+2+1 = 19 (19 = Eldest Satomi Sister/R.Toku) If you still dont get it...bummer..lots of books about the binary code in yer library and plenty of info in the net. >=) ------------------------------------------------------------ Item Return Table ------------------------------------------------------------ ***In progress (There's a lot of em, and would like to update the FAQ ASAP)**** When you return a Persona in the velvet room, and if your Persona is level 8 in ranking you will get an Item in return.

A.-See the Item List FAQ. ^_^ Random babbling: Thou shalt Carry thy feet in the sequence of: Dubha -> P Alioth -> E Phelpa -> R Mergez -> S Merak -> E Mizar -> U Alkaid -> S Personal Questions about the storyline: Who is Maya Okamura?History teacher? At the end..if Maya remembered the other side.. why didnt she forgot about the other side too? Isnt that gonna affect "This Side"? ------------------------------------------------------------ The following was sent to me to my email..I just copy-pasted it =) When the girl at 2xSlash asks you what month you were born, tell her "HASTURCOMEFORTH". Then go to Maya's desk at Kismet Pub., and open the box next to it. It contains the King In Yellow material card. Also, the donation box on the Mifune trail must be full to get the secret Persona Junnosuke Kuroda. If you get Tatsunoshin Suou, another secret Persona, and filled up the donation box on the trail, Junnosuke automatically comes along. Submitted by James Barnett. ------------------------------------------------------------ Credits ------------------------------------------------------------ To the guys at the gamfaqs bulletin board for some answers to the questions above. Specially to Archaeopteryx for letting me use his FAQ to make the item return table(For easy reference). Well, I hope you send me some good emails about this great game =) spade@c4.com
