Don't think anyone knows anything about if there are DLC characters yet.

Yeah, nothing better than that but saving the cents and not getting it sooner via in-store is the decision at hand.
None yet, although I recall them finding something on the website. Nothing conclusive regarding DLC characters however.
No. Nothing on the disc says anything about additional characters, unlike Blazblue.
Unfortunately they don't have 99c release day shipping on it, so maybe I should try Best Buy.

Junpei better be DLC
My final exam and final essay is on the 8th. The pain will be excruciating, because I wont even be able to enjoy it until after

Tell me about it. At least I'll have it same day of release. :S
Too bad they don't send those out to try.
I've tried keyboards and while they're "decent" subs for a hitbox, I dunno what is a good "spaced" layout to emulate a hitbox.
I've tried sticks and:
The layout is so... foreign and cramped in general for me. Doesn't help that the stick also over compensates my inputs (236 becomes 2369) in a fashion. :/
Proof that Junpei's hat is badass no matter who it's on.

What if we all shopped Junpei hats on our avatars? Do you think some random algorithm will notify Atlus and cause a chain of events leading to Junpei as DLC?

Doubt there will be any info on that for a while. IF now IF anything maybe at the TGS. But considering the game just came out here in Japan 2 weeks ago + its not even out in the US would be a little bit of business suicide to announce new characters already.
*Quote removed - spoiler has been tagged. Thanks!
Junpei's hat may be badass but I'm not ruining my new avatar over it.
Maybe the Female Protag. >_>;
Btw Id consider that spoilers, which should be marked. Need to remember that folks in the US dont have the game yet and out of common courtesy marking anything that could be a potential spoiler is appreciated.
Noted, I changed my post to err on the side of caution, so you might want to as well.
I'll shop Minato's earphones and Tatsuya's hoodie onto Akihiko instead. Deal?

Marrshu, are you maining Aigis? A good Aigis player would be nice to spar with
Does FemMC have a name?
If my avatar had the real-estate I'd get Masao Inaba's beanie all over this Chie.

Maining Aigis or Yu. I haven't decided yet. I'm leaning towards Aigis because Yu is a shotoclone.

The anticipation is painful, but nothing like the wait for P5 will be. This is training mode. Hey besides, plenty of spoiler free stuff to watch in the meantime

Watching streams isn't quite the same as actually playing. >_>;

I was thinking of using Aegis as a secondary. Possibly Yousuke as a third.
FemMC was given the name "Minato" in some circles.

One thing thats really great about the streams is gives you a better idea of the characters you want to pick and how their play styles generally look in action.
Before the game came out here was watching Labrys footage and other stuff from arcade recordings.
Though yeah its no where close to actually playing the real thing so can sympathize with the notion. D:

From the anime thread:
So the BR release is no longer dual-audio but the DVDs are. :/

I may or may not have been listening to the arranged version of the game's theme on a loop for the last hour.
So good!
So good!
Did these companies not pay attention to when Kurokami the Animation tried this? -_-
lol at $60 for half a series that doesn't even include Japanese audio.

Man just hearing that reminds me of what a dumbass I was for not doing the pre-order so I missed out on getting that CD...
This makes me wonder if Atlus is really the force behind the region-locking of this game now.
The two may be related.
As I was saying elsewhere, it was almost certainly not Atlus's decision to region lock the game. Probably something to do with the music licensing. :\
Wouldn't Atlus own the music for Persona since it's Persona music?
Preorder canceled, especially if the rumor that not all the game dub cast are in the anime.
No.
That's the male MC's name. The Japanese call FeMC "Hamuko" though.

No its usually the companies related to the VA / Music that pull this sort of stuff with allowing for use internationally. (AKA asking for a shitload of money) Licensing is generally done with domestic and international (broken up by regions) separately. While not game related have had experience dealing with this sort of headaches. Not fun at all, since it really just boils down to how much $$$ you can throw at them basically. Depending on the license holder can range from expensive to unrealistic.
Seriously dumb move on their behalf which will bite them in the ass with how easy it is for pissed off fans to just go and download torrents.
Whoever was in charge of that decision was obviously "touched" by the good idea fairy. Since its one so out of touch with what should be standardized business practice its incredible. Then again its an all too common scene within the industry.
Thats not always the case depending on the contract. Its why there are certain games which are still not ported into digital download format due to the mess with re-licensing various content within the game itself.
I have no idea, I'm just guessing given music is often (but not always) a key reason in licensing issues when it comes to DVD releases....
^ ... what Parakeet said.
The only way they'll make money off this is if they have the original cast (or the P4A replacements.) Otherwise the Blu-Rays are dead on arrival at that price. Customers will just take their money elsewhere.

Man, I feel that we haven't seen the full potential of Yosuke yet. More and more I'm digging Labrys and I hear that she doesn't fall into the trappings of "generic anime robotgirl".
Yeah, it sucks because they know the enthusiast crowd will snatch it right up too. I'll be a sucker and buy it just that quasi-fengshui vibe I'll get by having it in its right place on my shelf to avoid despondency.
That's the problem. The enthusiast crowd didn't snatch up Kurokami. >_>;
Comparing Kurokami to Persona hardly seems fair. Persona 3/4 fans usually eat up anything with Persona 3/4 on it. I doubt they'll mind single audio considering that they're used to the English voices.

Yikes, is this Kurokami really popular? Was it heavily pirated? I don't know much about this sort of thing.
Maybe. It all depends on if they have the original actors or not.
Nah, not nearly as popular, but it didn't exactly sell well even keeping that in mind. Probably helps that the english dub was awful.
Oh shit, you're right. How the hell did I get those mixed up, lol.

Especially if they have great localization and actors like in P4, I wouldn't mind a bit.
At least it wasn't hambeast.
badass
Since I consider Yosuke to be a poor mans Junpei, I might just main him instead. Guess that puts the characters I want to main officially at 4.
Hasn't it already been confirmed that it was Atlus's decision and they did it because of the difference in value of the yen and USD and fears of reverse importation?
