Lol, didn't they announce SMT title for DS and a Persona titles for PSP before both of those came out :lol

I wouldn't hold my breathe.

Nich sounded rather down on the prospects right now on that Retronauts interview, at least with Persona 1. I imagine Persona 2 wouldn't be that rough of a port.

Who said anything about ports?

I don't see why they need to go to psp when they can keep releasing awesome ps2 games or switch to wii if they don't want to go full on next gen yet.

if they were to make the next one for ps2, I'm sure it wouldn't come over here. Also, the wii controller wouldn't be the best for persona games

Atlus probably won't do a new Persona game for several years, they like to bounce around the SMT franchise. I think you'll see a new Nocturne/DDS-like game beforehand.

The 5 stages of Atlus:

1.) Denial -- no, no. The PS2 isn't dying, it's still as popular as ever! Here, buy Persona!

2.) Anger -- WHY?! WHY MUST THE PS2 DIE JUST WHEN OUR GAMES WERE GETTING POPULAR AGAIN!?

3.) Bargaining -- okay, okay. We'll just make Persona 4 and then we will move on. okay, okay, okay! We'll just make another Devil Summoner, then we will move on. We promise!

4.) Depression -- oh god, what are we going to do? The PS2 is dying, next gen costs are huge and we don't even know what system to choose! WHY....

5.) Acceptance -- Okay we'll develop fo....

5.) Develop for the PS2 -- Anybody want Persona 5? PS2 exclusive!

Just beat
Teddie's shadow
. Wow! That was one intense fight! I was lvl 31 and had to have MC and Yoskue heal. I was teetering on the brink of death a few times. The Soma Drop saved the day. I had to be resourceful and use some items quite a bit too. I consider myself an extremely experienced RPG gamer, and this is one of the toughest ones I've played. It actually forces you to use your items to emerge victorious.

I switched between MC using a persona with media and the tech. that nullifies stat down for the party.

I found the enemies in the upper floors to be almost unbeatable, too.

I wouldn't mind if they moved to Wii. Engine would be an easy port too (I find it surprising that Persona 4 wasn't ported as such).

I can't imagine Persona 5 not being on a next-gen console, i can see a port or some kind of spin off for the psp though.

I kind of expect a port/remake of P1 for PSP. SMT1+2 have been ported twice. Devil Summoner 1 has been ported. Why not Persona 1? The last two games have done well in the US, so the appeal of getting a real US version out of it would further sweeten the deal.

Are next-gen systems really that much more expensive to develop for?

It would be tough to control on Wii w/o a classic controller or GC controller.

On the Persona retronaughts podcast, they said there won't be another Persona game for quite awhile.

I just hope that if Atlus does go to the HD consoles, they don't make their games exclusive to one of the two. There is really no need for that these days :/

Maybe they should do what Disgaea did, go next gen but don't have such a big graphics boom
Click to expand...

i'm not sure i liked what disgaea did by pretty much doing nothing to make graphics better. something more along the lines of what the tales series did with vesperia would be nice! SMT should really look at games like that or eternal sonata in terms of what they should do graphic's wise moving forward

Pretty much especially for a small company like them, only way i could see them doing exclusive is if Sony or MS offered to fund the games which would be nice to see atlus have money to work with. I really want to see what Atlus could do with some real money to play with!

1) Yup, first floor left hallway.

2) You have to do the request she asks, making a persona with certain skills. If you talk to her again she should tell you what she's looking for.

Alright, I am so not buying this "killer." I know the game goes a whole year, so this is like when ps1 games tried to bs a fake last dungeon at the end of disc 1.

I don't see why it would be so tough, exactly. All you need is a couple of face buttons and a joystick. The Wii-remote + nunchuck has those. I'm sure they could put GameCube controls in there.

HD consoles wouldn't make that much sense, given that they wouldn't be taking advantage of them in any way. Why not just stick with the highest install base?

Something still bothers me, ending questions (true ending spoilers)

Is it just me or was the Midnight channel was never really explained? Izanami said it provided a "window" for the desires of people, but it never explained how Adachi targeted the first two that appeared? After all, he only knew about it after Namatame called and told him about it. It seems the ending parts just went circles around this and never had a clear resolution on how the channel worked.

I don't know about you guys, but I use both analogue buttons in the dungeons. it could work on the psp since is has the L and R buttons but it would be awkward playing a persona game with the wiimote

Adachi first threw the reporter in because he liked her, and was pissed that she was going out with Namatame instead of him. As for the midnight channel for the first two victims, I don't think it ever got beyond fuzzy, because their shadow-selves never manifested before they were killed. The channel represented what people wanted to see as well as input from the person trapped in the TV themselves, hence seeing Yukiko as a flirt, Rise 'baring' it all....not sure about Kanji, tho. :p

To be precise, I said I thought there wouldn't. I don't have much insight into what Atlus Japan has planned, unfortunately.

On one hand that saddens me of no Persona for awhile...

On the other it seems good so I don't get burnt out of them...

Void Quest is the best dungeon ever! The only disappointment is the music. If the dungeon music was the Devil Buster theme from Megami Tensei 2 (a remix of Daedalus from Megami Tensei 1) with an 8 bit remix of the Persona 4 battle theme...)

Hi Def means that the consumers will see more details and you have to fill in more details in the same space. The same character model that was totally acceptable in low rez screen will be simply butt-ugly unacceptable in high rez. That all traslates into more time spent on modeling/texturing/animating. More detailed scenery means more things to fill in as well. So, a background that a couple of artists could finish in 2 week easily turn into 10 men team working for a month. And you see how the cost will skyrocket.

Oh yeah.

I love how you saw Chihiro, she referenced Misturo, and the 'drunk' scene was hilarious!

About to attempt the 5th dungeon soon.

I laughed so hard during the drunk scene. I rarely do that. Yukiko sat in the MC's lap. I wanted Rise. :(

It's hilarious when Teddie chooses you for the smooch, reads you a haiku (At least I think it was), and kisses Kanji instead :lol

You're just going to take it!? I can help you out if you want so you can get the true ending, which isn't too hard to get.

Oh I've got the guide. I wanted to play through with maxed stats anyways so I figured Bad Ending, Second Cycle, True Ending.

So I just did the natural answers of what I thought near the end instead of the ones to get the Good/True ending.
