That helps a lot, it still is strange hearin all these lines that you remember and hear them being read completely differently, such as TRIAL OF THE DRAGON, and You guys SSSSSSUCK!
If Fitzgerald didn't have to follow up after Rooney, new Chie would be a pretty decent performance. When you compare original Chie to new Chie that is when you notice the issue. People new to P4 probably won't mind new Chie. Atlus is pretty darn good with choosing VAs.

I always get kinda stressed playing these games.
I worry that I'm not doing the right thing or I'm lagging behind on a particular stat or I'm wasting time grinding in a dungeon when I could've used that time to work on a SL or a stat.
Now that I can't really heal up reliably in a dungeon I'm concerned that if I take more than one trip in per 'rescue' that I'm wasting too much time that should be spent on other things. =P

Thank god!
Also, since I turned off those animations, and fusion pictures, the game's combat pace is at a point where I am having fun. :-D
I always thought her original voice was a bit flat compared to everyone else. It was kinda odd that she was the only one without any prior experience in video game/anime etc before. Judging by her demo, she mostly did commercials and I think she was in some soap operas.

The skip animations in Eternal Punishment is even faster, like 2x faster...

If anyone wants to add another vitabro, feel free to add me darkjedi187.
Canadian accents are funny, when they say "aboot" it's adorable.
You're right, I just don't feel like it fits in this situation that well
I've already made it my goal to spend the first time through on raising stats to max and doing my perfect S-link/Quest run on my New Game+.
A few Vita screenshot wallpapers that I made yesterday if anyone cares:
Using this one atm:
All from the beginning of the game, so it shouldnt really be spoilery. If there is one, I'll remove the direct picture.

Eh? ಠ_ಠ
I've never once non-ironicly said "aboot" in my life, and I've never set foot outside of Canada, but hey, I'll take the adorable compliment anyways.
In the game you can press select and go back through all the dialogue and replay the voices and everything. I don't remember this in any other game.

I'm going to be buying this game I think, but is it really that stressful to play??

can't decide if I want to play on easy like i did with p3 or normal and deal with cheap bosses that make me wanna quit playing but at least make the grind less boring...
Nah, you wont be able to max everything in your first playthrough but you dont NEED to. I can imagine its annoying for people that cant live with missing stuff on their first playthrough, though, but the game lends itself well for a ng+ playthrough where you can still go for the stuff you missed.
Hehehe.
Canada is awesome though, they brought me hockey, I could never hate them for that. <3
Oh god, I cannot imagine playing the game at such a quick pace! It would be wonderful.

But, Eternal Punishment is actually difficult.
Why keep people saying that? There are the SP/HP heal cards.
Also you can spam SoS, also you can reload the dungeon until you get a chest near the entrance and then hop in and out to farm that chest, also you can buy soul tomatos and soda once a week before you enter the TV.
There are ways to do it, but it's tougher ;p
Buy TaP sodas from the vending machine to restore SP then heal with Dia.
Shadow Yukiko can be really tough, but the rest of the game isn't so bad.

To a normal person, no. So don't worry about it.
I am not normal, I worry too much! =P

This game has the issue where the first few bosses in the game are considered the hardest.
Also, what difficulty are you on?
Honestly, I can't believe you made it that far without animation skip.
Ahaha.
You say that now.
JUST YOU WAIT.

Yes, and they do next to nothing. =P
I don't know why they are still around. Though I do remember them actually being useful in P3P.
Getting owned by an unlucky combo of weaknesses or instadeath is far less likely in P4.
Rooney has a nice CV. http://traceyrooney.com/Credits.htm Everyone's taste and expectations are different.
Don't get me wrong, I don't like Fitzgerald's voice. I think that Atlus got an experienced VA that kinda fit Chie's character. Chie's new voice is pretty upper mid-ranged spiked. It bugs me. It just seems that new players aren't too put off by the voice.
Relax. Don't try to get it all done on a first run through. If you go Very Easy you can put less time into the dungeon crawling and devote more time to S. Links and such.

Concur! This is exactly my thoughts. Like I said earlier, I think they were trying for something completely different from the previous one after people got so down on it. I feel they took it too far though.
I think it'll be alright once we get into the game though. I've played games with bad voices before and after a few hours you just get used to it.

I like the second one.
The one with yu there and I guess its an animu cutscene in game, I wished it lookd as good as they did it in the actual anime, they really do blues well in that.
The anime in the game looks waaaaay closer to Soejima's art though.
About a couple hours in. Thoughts so far:
-There have been a couple of times where Chie's voice annoyed me, but overall I don't think it's that bad. I never heard the original dub, though, so take that for what you will.
-I really like the characters I've met thus far. Can't quite decide if Yosuke or Yukiko is my favorite at this point in time.
-The way that personas seem to be discovered in this game, that is,
sounds awesome. Though I hope that doesn't stunt growth in the characters for the rest of the game.
Can't wait to play more!

is there a way to skip animations in this?
Also, is it just me or is this one of the few modern jrpgs with no text speed toggle? And it's permanently on instant.
Wasn't the ps2 one not on instant?

Dunno, I am doing Very Hard and without Rise's slink, that combined with all the penalties and the save points before the boss rooms being removed might make for a hardish game?

Press start twice to skip animations.
Sure, but the guy I quoted isn't doing that.
I'm on Normal (same difficulty I played P3P at). The only part of the game I want to do on the go is Grinding, so I liked that in P3P i could just go to Tartarus and stay there for a few hours while I was on the bus or something and didn't have the sound on. Now, I can't stay in the TV for extended periods without needing to jump back to the main world, and I'm afraid i'll miss something during the day.
Also, Analyze not actually telling you anything until you have tried an attack is a big change as well- you need to spend time trying different attacks on enemies rather than just scanning, seeing they are weak to fire, and firing off some Agi spells.

Which is why I loved it, P4 started bringing back the Jung stuff that was kind of absent in P3
I'm a bit ashamed to say I haven't played Persona 2. Maybe when I'm done with this (and all the other crap I need to play).
