Same here.
This. People understate the seriousness of Persona 4. It has silly moments, of course, but so does Persona 3.
damn right, best waifu lol

Sony should have paid for it to be ps4 exclusive
Mmmhmm, people say that P3 is the more grim story but its gloom and doom doesn't really show up until late in the game. P4 really throws the serious shit at you within the first hour or two. It almost feels like it comes down to the visuals. P3 has darker visuals while P4 has brighter visuals and I think people sometimes try to attribute that to the story and the characters as well.

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
Why? It's way too early in the generation.
Sony could pay for a 1080p 60fps 4XAA PS4 version though... I'd take that.
Not sure how easy that would be to do though, as the architectures are quite different.
Better design please, Yu is a weak-looking design.

Stahp,
first this rise stuff and now you talking bout yu, you got all types of the bad taste.

Nah she is best, get on her level

Yeah. The "death" theme of the game is also one of the reasons people claim P3 to be darker. Personally, I think the "facing your true self" theme of Persona 4 is more mature and interesting, plus the murders, the whole city covered by fog, etc makes the game very grim, outside of the brighter visuals (maybe the reason for the brighter visuals was to counterbalance the seriousness of the plot?).
If there isn't a female protagonist in the game, I'd rather have one that looks like Makoto, with a not-so-manly design. Yu's design is fine, but I couldn't relate to him at all.
Hey, I know that thanks to the anime and what you can do with him in the game, we've all started to attribute all of this personality to Yu (mostly making him into Sir Swag-A-Lot) but if you just take his actual design to a base level without adding in any of that personality that we made up, he looks really generic.
Fake edit: and I don't even know what you are saying about Rise, you are probably one of those heathens who thinks Chie is attractive
She is only attractive in the anime and that is probably because one of the animators had a hard on for her
I couldn't relate to how Makoto looked at all. He reminded me of an emo kid I knew in high school that I used to hate! I know it's totally in my head but my mind can't not associate his design with that guy.
Edit: literally checked my facebook after this post and saw his latest stat: "Humanity... Their destroying theirselves. Smh well it's their own fate I guess." Of course he used the wrong they're and I'm pretty sure it's "themselves"
I dunno, some of the P4 social links had some pretty big problems that the game kinda glosses over.

I think the MC's gonna have red, medium length hair plus whatever school uniform they're using this time around.
I can't think of a way that they would summon Personas, maybe it'll be the same as in P4.

P4 feels more engaging in its main story right from the get-go. You show up, someone is murdered, you meet a classmate, and then she's murdered. You're involved immediately both through the MC, who knows these people, and Dojima, who's working the cases.
I always feel very detached from P3 because it doesn't give the character any real motivation in the beginning. It's like "Yeah, let's do this because we got THE POWER". I mean, shit gets real eventually, but P4 really starts off with a bang in comparison.

I always thought he was pretty "swag" in the game before the anime. Just the way he would pose, the kind of clothes he would wear, etc. When I look at him, he seems to me like a guy that makes sense to be the leader, he looks like a guy would would be good at everything he does, he looks like a guy the girls would be all over. While the Persona 3 dude just seemed kind of out of place, I couldn't relate to him at all, didn't like his design one bit.
I'm being a little more dramatic than I actually feel. While I didn't like his design that much, it didn't bother me much either. It's important to note that Yu's design didn't do anything for me either. I thought it was pretty uninspired but again, it didn't really bother me while I was playing. Can't wait to see how 5's MC looks.

First of all: Chie? Rise? Best girl was Marie.
That's settled now. My opinions over this announcement? I was expecting a PS3 announcement but I was REALLY REALLY hoping that they'd do a PS4 port. Either ways a 2014 winter slated release date for Japan means a 2015 summer at the earliest release for the West. So by that time a lot of peeps will be primarily playing in PS4. PS3 install base would still be bigger of course but UGH.
I don't know if a PS4 port is possible at this stage, but even if a third party does it I'd be grateful.

Are the artworks for Persona Q already available? I can't see them in the official site.
I was actually surprised by how dark and depressing Persona 4 felt at first after hearing about how lighthearted the game was. Though after the first dungeon or so the game didn't feel nearly as heavy to me, especially since (major late P4 spoiler)
I didn't think Nanako would actually remain dead.
You're right that P3's reputation likely comes largely from events near the end of the game, but it did have its moments throughout the game, such as how (major P3 and P4 spoilers)
Shinji and Mitsuru's dad died during the story, whereas the the only later deaths in P4 were King Moron (which I doubt really made any players sad, nor was it supposed to), and Nanako's brief death).
One other thing is Tartarus and the Dark Hour felt darker and more oppressive to me than the TV World, which had brighter colors and generally more upbeat music.

I see. Honestly, I just hope for a female protagonist, because it is really hard for me to relate to a boy regardless of his design.
Although playing as a boy has its perks, like dating waifus instead of husbandos.
Yeah, but then again in the TV World you faced the shadow selves, who by themselves are far "darker" than most stuff you see in Tartarus.
Ok, thanks.
No point in releasing it on the Vita now when they need to release Persona 5 Velvet in a year or two. They already seem to have some sort of pattern with mainline release on console -> port on handheld later going on. Though maybe this time the game would be too demanding to port to Vita?

i think atlus likes to make money
P3 and P4 major spoilers
Those deaths are a part of my issue though. Nothing dark happens until Shinji's death, not to say the game has to be dark throughout but it was really a lot of nothing up until that point. On the flip side, P4 introduced you to a classmate that Yosuke was really interested in, which probably got the player to at least have the character on their radar, and than kill her soon after. The tone was set that no one was really safe in P4 especially since you didn't know why these people were dying. Sure it didn't amount to much later since the MC's ended up having plot armor throughout but before we knew that I'm sure there was always some doubt about who could die at any time

All I have to add to this conversation is that
I cried when nanako died and killed the guy in a act of anger, didn't even realise i'd done wrong till the next day.

Major P4 spoiler
The biggest weakness in P4's plot is the fact that Nanako comes back from the dead.

Anybody think there's a chance the Gaikai system will be out by summer 2015? I'm hoping that if it is, P5 is included.
Nah I would have hated the game if it didn't happen.
I agree with both of you. The real flaw was they decided to use that as a quick shock and then went with the "just kidding!" It was a silly move that had no place.

That's not really true, though -
Persona 3 has plenty of heavy stuff happen before Shinji dies. There's the melting people, there's Fuuka being bullied, there's the myriad of social links that involve lying to people to tell them what they want to hear, and there's all the stuff with Yukari's depression about her family/her anger at Mitsuru. Then there's the twist with Mitsuru's dad being murdered, and her hard time dealing with that.
There's tons of lighter stuff of course, like the stupid beach trip and whatnot, but P3 is plenty dark besides
Shinji's death.
I found his design to be quite nice, the only thing I would fix is making his hair longer.
Well I said this about Rise a few pages back
Naoto.
Platinum.
I don't know how to feel about this. For some reason, that image invokes memories of Persona 1/2. Something about it seems more "serious".
I'm glad Persona fans get their new game, but I'm hoping like hell the series goes back to the way it was in the first 2 games. I know it won't happen, but a man can dream :/
