Thanks for the warm welcome and for the recommendations, I also just discovered that the first persona also is on psn. How does persona psp compare to Innocent Sin psp? Are the battles a little faster because I found IS to be a bit too slow-paced.

P1P moves MUCH faster than IS. Like, cannot be stated enough how much less tedious it is.

 

[A Dead Diehard]

I'll allow it. Kanji was my best bro during P4. Take a hike Yosuke!

I agree with you, Rise-face.
Though where does that leave Teddie?

 

[MiguelMexMIstery]

Yosuke's the best clearly.

Spoiler

P3MC too.

 

[Lunar15]

Look at what you've started. LOOK AT THIS MADNESS.

Spoiler

Baofu and Shinjiro are bestest guys

I knew what I was doing.

I've known all along...

Spoiler

Plus, sometimes the best girl shit gets a bit creepy. Gotta bring the balance.

 

[PK Gaming]

Although we may bicker about who the best girl is, there's never any question about who the best guy is.

 

[Jintor]

pls fake jesus couldn't do jackshit

 

[Yellow_Magic]

but fake jesus was played by one of the greatest voice actors of all time sooooo

Honestly, though, best man has got to be Katsuya. Dat dress sense

 

[Jintor]

lol fantastic. I watched too much FMA: Brotherhood between playing P3 and now so now Junpei sounds like Edward Elric

 

[JoseOle5990]

I agree with you, Rise-face.
Though where does that leave Teddie?

(Maybe P4 Teddie spoilers?)

Spoiler

In the Shadow World. Where he belongs!

Anyone up for best arcana instead?

Please give me a swirlie!

Can do.

3DS:
-Theatrhythm: Curtain Call
-Persona Q
-Smash 3D
-Azure Striker Gunvolt
-Pokemon Alpha Saphhire eventually maybe I don't really know.

I'm getting this game too. I forgot that it's coming in September!

Been slient about podcast stuff for about a month now, mostly cause of EVO/scheduling conflicts. No longer though, both Dacidbro and John Hardin are coming on to discuss Ultimax, the future of anime fighting games, and more!

AP himself? :O
This is going to be an awesome podcast.

Although we may bicker about who the best girl is, there's never any question about who the best guy is.

Best guy is P3MC of course.

 

[Ganzlinger]

Makoto is best protagonist. I can't decide between Junpei, Kanji or Teddie for the best bro. P1 and P2 i didnt play yet.

You don't have to play P2 to accept Eikichi into your life.

Ikutsuki.

Just searched him on Google and he seems a very interesting character. Dammit, Atlus, show these P1 and P2 characters some love.

The best thing about KATS-MAN is that although he looks like the coolest not Baofu guy in town, it takes ten seconds of flirting with Maya to completely unhinge him. I mean, he's not as wacky as "Makes love sounds like a motorcycle" TATS-MAN, but still.

Anyway, Best Bro is actually this guy:

Mark is the entire reason your party gets involved in the main quest of Persona 1, and he introduces Naoya to Maki. It's painfully obvious that Mark is hopelessly in love with her the whole time, but not once does he ever get mad that she doesn't even think twice about him and devotes all her attention to Naoya.

How many other bros in the series introduce the hero to his girlfriend, insist they save her, lead the hero to her, and works his ass off to make sure she's psychologically sound before the hookup?

Well, in that case, it's best that we all agree Elly's the best P1 girl instead of Maki, right?

It's possible Elly is just plain Best Girl.

No doubt about it!!

Would anyone actually be able to disagree with this....?

 

[CorvoSol]

Would anyone actually be able to disagree with this....?

Probably not, given the relatively low number of people who have played Persona 1 will all agree that Elly is dabes.

What are the odds someone played P1/P2 and didn't like Elly?

For cryin' out loud I never even picked Elly and I still think she's the best.

 

[Caladrius]

Would anyone actually be able to disagree with this....?

I haven't played Persona 1, therefore Elly is not the best girl.

Well I guess it's time to introduce myself because I've been lurking for a while now. I'm actually quite new to the persona series and I've played P3p, P4G and Innocent Sin in the last few weeks and I actually bought my vita specially for these games. Too bad that eternal punishment never came out here though, I would love to play it but buying a new memory card and switching regions would be too much of a hassle.
I love being in this fandom now and I'm really looking forward to the release of p5.
Also

Chie is best girl.

Welcome!

Elly is usually my primary party member in every SEBEC run. :S

I liked her in P1
Along with she is cute in P2

Oh, how elegant

 

[Spectrasonic]

Rise's Ultimax trailer has less than a third of the views of Yukari's and Junpei's.

Worst girl confirmed.

I really like Reiji, but I am sorry I dissuaded you from picking Elly.

UPDATE: Lordknight will be on that panel as well. Wow this is going to be the biggest episode yet.

This episode's gonna be 2good

 

[Dugna]

I do kinda wonder how the P1/P2 casts look now that it has been several years. Also wonder if they every brought back P1 protag that they would give a full fledged personality.

Read the P1 manga, his personality in it is well done.

 

[CorvoSol]

From a "You're going to play this game twice" standpoint it makes sense. Reiji goes better with the SEBEC route than Snow Queen, I'd imagine.

Ikutsuki.

Would have made both characters infinitely better.

There was a P1 Manga? didn't know that...seen P3 and P4 but not he first two mangas

Spent so much of the game thinking that reveal was going to happen that I was more surprised when it didn't than I would have been when it did.

Yes there is and it's great!

Yeah, thought the same.

Spoiler

Ever since I saw the opening and then later the title of a video called "Ikutsuki's betrayal", I was hoping Ikutsuki would turn out be Takaya, both would have been better a villain if they were same person.

 

[RockderBanja]

Yes there is and it's great!

I recently read it without playing the game. It was really good, but I wonder if I should play the game as well.

 

[Levito]

Also, as far as that fake P5 image goes, it just feels mean and lame to me. Pranks are good when they're clever, require a lot of effort and when they're funny. This ticks none of the boxes, it's just a cheap troll for people desperate to see something.

Kewl brought this up and now I can't stop laughing. Though I totally support your fake P5 image Dantis, the reaction has been incredible.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Um, this picture's not even considering Aigis and Ken. Maybe even Fuuka, if she's thrown in there as an honorary member. Maybe Kikuno's even in there, if she's part of the Shadow Ops.

It's why messing around with these silhouettes never amounts to much. Who knows if the identities of the ones in there will ever even be elucidated.

Even though I don't see any of them as Aigis or Ken (and I think Fuuka said she had declined the offer at the end of one of the P3 chapters), you're right. I just saw it in google and thought it could fit the moment, but I should have clarified. Sorry if I got anyone's expectations up.

 

[Ganzlinger]

Bigger:

I think the one between Mitsuru and "Eikichi" is actually Ken. The one bewteen Mitsuru and "Junpei" could be Eriko (Elly) from P1. The one in the far right could be Aigis.

If we are to assume that the image was actually created while being cognizant of what it actually entailed and who the people were within it, and if I was to be as plain as possible in interpretation of the individuals within it, this is what I think would be the outcome:

Aigis' hair throws it off a bit, but I think her "normal" attire matches it. Kikuno and Fuuka are weird ones, but they're probably just as associated with the Shadow Ops as anyone. The rest would obviously be represented somehow. People on the foreground don't matter.

Whoa, a PQ podcast with you would be too cool, we should talk about it sometime!

 

[Ganzlinger]

That's a huge asterisk. lol

But yeah, I'm assuming the same.

 

[MiguelMexMIstery]

Kikuno and Fuuka are weird ones, but they're probably just as associated with the Shadow Ops as anyone.

Hmm? Who's Kikuno?

 

[buddha0991]

Who is Kikuno again?

Back in the day, I always thought P1/2 was on the left, with Eriko, Yukino, Nanjo and two random dudes. The right was P3, with Yukari, Junpei, Aigis in her SO dress, and Detective Kurosawa maybe, and some dude. It probably is not that.
