Support NeoGAF

[Dantis]

I would like to thank everyone who picked up Persona 4. Maybe if we wish reeaaallly hard we could get Nocturne in HD.

OR DDS?!? :O

Also, I was thinking, if they made a definitive version of P3P, with all the content and full 3D, for Vita, I'd buy it.

Yes I would.

 

[Omikaru]

Game finally came today, complete with Vita cover. Going to give my system a proper clean later and apply it.

Even "better" news is that my friend friend flaked on me today, so my entire day was made free. So instead of being down the pub, I watched the rugby in my living room as I played P4G. It was immense and worked out perfectly.

Loving the game so far. I'm at about lvl 12-13, about to take on

, but I remember this one being a tough battle in the first game, so I might grind to 14-15 before I go for it, but I reached the top of the dungeon in one grind, which is good for me as I was totally sucking at P4 on my first playthrough back all those years ago. But then again, this game doesn't feel anywhere near as challenging.

It's also great to see so many people on my friends list playing it, but that's probably because a few of PersonaGAF have added me to PSN this week. I know there's no in-game function, but it's still cool to have an active Live Area for this game (and I've even had some likes and comments on my activity), so if any of you want to add me on PSN, my ID is the same as my GAF name. Feel free to add me.

I think the next step up for Persona is to have a game on both PS3 and Vita, with Cross Save support. Whilst I'd love a 3D P3P, I think I'd rather they work on Persona 5 and have this as a feature.

For me, it was a no brainer and a day 1 preorder. I hear the words "Atlus rpg," even if it's a game I've played before, I'm effing in.

...if they made a definitive version of P3P, with all the content and full 3D, for Vita, I'd buy it.

I already own 4 different versions of P3.

Spoiler

sigh...yeah, I'd buy it too.

 

[CrazyArcadia]

Even though I'm still burned on that 'other' Persona game I couldn't play... I gave in to my urge and imported Persona 4 Golden to Germany I don't even have a Vita yet, but I'm gonna save up some money to get one in the next few months (keeping my fingers crossed for some good offer similiar to the us black friday deals for Europe). Currently playing P3P on PSP since I hadn't finished that yet and I'm really looking forward to P4G (.. and the Vita). Good to see that game is so well received, played it on PS2 a few years back and it was awesome! Great OP for this thread, too

Tell me about it. My desire for a feature-perfect version of Persona 3 means I'd buy too.

Different teams. The main dev team has been working on P5 for ages now.

 

[P90]

I'd just be happy with a port of SMT IV. I don't want to have two handhelds.

Nah. Gotta have a 3DS and a Vita. Reality.

Different teams. The main dev team has been working on P5 for ages now.

Hmmmmm.... I wonder HD triplets or 3DS? I love my 3DS, but HD triplets would be my definite preference.

 

[Omikaru]

Ah, well in that case I would 100% be behind a P4G-style version of P3P. I think it'd be perfect to play through the female MC in 3D. But at this point I'd settle for PS2 support on Vita (not happening, I know), so we could at least play the downloaded version of P3 FES (provided that gets a release in the EU -- publishing situation is a bit up in the air, as I understand).

Shadow mitsuo is the most cheapest piece of shit ever.

I consolidated to one (current) handheld system yesterday.

2X hardware trades at Gamestop pushed me over the edge, got 140 for my 3DSXL just for the system.

I hate provocative school-girl anime, squeaky voices and doll collections, but I love SRPG's. Should I get P4G???

This game is closer to FF7 than it is to FFT, if that's what you mean by SRPG.

That being said, this is probably the best JRPG ever made, but it is rife with Anime content.

Your answer leaves me even more conflicted. =(

P4G is not an SRPG. There are squeaky voices. What do you mean by "provocative school-girl anime"? By most accounts, P4 is one of the best RPGs of all time. Make your judgement from there.

 

[Trigger]

Oh wow.

Spoiler

This remix of I'll Face Myself for Mitsuo's shadow is fucking ace. I didn't expect this.

(Spoilers for those who haven't played through P4 before).

No. It's got all the anime hijinks one would expect of a JRPG set in a high school setting. Strategy isn't non-existent, but it's far less complicated than most SRPGs.

Wait? Who's behalf are you thanking us?

Do you know something we don't?

 

[tch]

Finally coughed up the 40 bucks and ordered this. Got the physical version because fuck I don't have 3 GBs to spare. Can't wait!

 

[chickdigger802]

How are you still alive?

Probably about 1000 calories or so... i've had worst at buffets.


Don't feel amazing atm though lol.

No no. Just no...

No no. Just no...

Atlus dev confirmed. Can you tell us when P5 will be released?

 

[darkjedi187]

totally hit a speed bump way too early. In the first castle I got to the boss but I am only lvl 9 and getting killed. should I start the dungeon over from the beginning. I'm also down to the last 2 rainy days.

 

[SpaceBridge]

Atlus dev confirmed. Can you tell us when P5 will be released?

Yup, my thoughts exactly. Has been a member since 2011 but only 28 posts. Atlus dev indeed.

So when's Nocturne coming out?

 

[Astral]

I'm so bad at managing time in this game. When should I start doing the daycare Social Link? Doesn't it interfere with Yosuke's?

 

[Venfayth]

Ugh, Fifth Shadow down.

I don't know if I'm too impatient with grinding, my party is level 30 and MC is level 32, but there's almost no point to trying to keep my party alive during boss fights, they are too much of a liability. MC has solo'd the last two bosses now. Although this time, I was able to guess when the boss had 1 hit left of life, and chained Resurrection Beads on my party, and then dealt the final blow with the last person I revived so that they could at least get some EXP this time.

 

[Trigger]

What difficulty are you on? My normal schedule for the game is dungeon first, social links second. You can rewind by a week once you miss a deadline. It shouldn't take you longer than two days to beat a dungeon unless you're on hard or very hard.

 

[Venfayth]

I'm so bad at managing time in this game. When should I start doing the daycare Social Link? Doesn't it interfere with Yosuke's?

I recommend doing non-party member S.Links whenever you can't do a party member S.Link, especially in Golden, due to the bonuses you get when your party members s.link up.

Don't worry about doing two different S.Links at the same time, you don't need to "finish" one before you do another.

Just do them whenever you have time.

 

[Nexas]

After all this rebalancing Chie still has shitty skill distribution? And now Kanji gets Power Charge? Some one on the design team must have it out for Chie.

 

[blackflag]

I don't think I've ever put 20 hours into a game as fast as this.

 

[cjkeats]

Is it just me or are there more Golden Hands around? I've ran onto like 7 and I'm only just finished the second dungeon.

 

[Trigger]

There are more of them and they're easier to beat to boot. I've been able to farm a few of them per day to get large amounts of cash. I also don't recall them giving out so much experience.

 

[kuroshiki]

Don't buy it. This game doesn't deserve you.


or you don't deserve this game. take your pick.

 

[Nexas]

In the original game they gave 1 EXP.

Rule #4 of Persona 4: Save people FIRST, fraternize LATER.

I do the opposite. They can wait, terrified in the TV world while I chill with my pals and eat beef bowls.

 

[Nexas]

But half of your pals don't want to hang out when someone is in the TV.

 

[Trigger]

Terrible and inefficient!

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

so rise is pretty much the canon relationship in the game right? Just like Yukari/Elizabeth/p3 protagonist right?

 

[SpaceBridge]

There's a daycare SL? I don't remember that from the original.

 

[Astra]

But half of your pals don't want to hang out when someone is in the TV.

I'm sick of those pals, anyway. Always too busy worrying about the life of one of their friends, to come to Aiya with me.

Terrible and inefficient!

That's just how I roll. I simmer that shit with a drop lid.

 

[Astral]

Not really. There's no canon relationship in this game. Rise's just very....Rise.

 

[toastyToast]

Heatbreaker protagonist is cannon protagonist

 

[Dresden]

Aigis/p3tag was the canon pairing though.

 

[Trigger]

Yu has too much swag for any one woman to contain. There is no canon love interest.

There's a daycare SL? I don't remember that from the original.

It was there; one of the part-time jobs to be exact.

 

[buddha0991]

Not really, animu Yu had the swag. P4A Yu is more of a nice guy who doesn't get involved with anyone like that.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

Very lttp because my game only arrived today, but for those of you that got the pre-order skin (or from the Solid Gold Edition) did you use it? And if so, how did it turn out?

 

[kewlmyc]

so rise is pretty much the canon relationship in the game right? Just like Yukari/Elizabeth/p3 protagonist right?

You're entering dangerous territory by mentioning "canon" love interest in P3/P4. I suggest you stop now.

Also, how do I get more costumes? Do I get them throughout the story or do I have to buy them/find them in dungeons?

 

[buddha0991]

Who is the canon love interest of Persona 1 and 2 hurr...I bet none of you even know people from that game...kidding!

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

Aigis/p3tag was the canon pairing though.

LOL. I don't see Aigis/protagonist as romantic at all. It was kinda like a master/slave relationship. Plus you can't penetrate a robot.

 

[buddha0991]

I regret nothing.

You can touch her neck though.
