Hell I liked P3's guide just for the little bits at the beginning about the various holidays and honorifics. Plus the interview was nice.

Yeah, i don't think you would have even gotten that stuff about the holidays anywhere in the game.

Not to mention that sometimes you take a few days off from the game and you come back to it only to find yourself thinking: "WTF is Terntraroofoo or Marakukajah" or some shit.

 

[Fuu]

I miss Igor's bone cellphone.

And I really miss Nanashi/Nameless and Belladonna. Was hoping P4 would bring them back when I knew P3 wouldn't have them, they add so much charm to the Room. Please, Atlus, for P5!

This is one of the few games were the guide is almost essential, especially is you want all s-links and persona.

I just wanted the guide because it was cheap :lol

 

[Blackjack]

From what I hear S.Links are much, much, much easier than in Persona 3.

 

[Tenks]

From what I hear S.Links are much, much, much easier than in Persona 3.

Country girls easier to nail than city girls confirmed

 

[Tamanon]

As long as there's no S Link like Yukari's which breaks just because I try and give her a hug!

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

MUCH easier.Though the relationships are a bit more complicated then most of those in P3 it seems.

 

[Tenks]

They should add in the option where if you're too nice and a total puss to the girl she friends zones you and you can never achieve anything higher than SLink4!

 

[Tamanon]

Well....the girls do have two branches. One a friend, and one a girlfriend!

 

[Blackjack]

They should add in the option where if you're too nice and a total puss to the girl she friends zones you and you can never achieve anything higher than SLink4!

Not no higher than rank 4, you're just locked into the Friendship path.

And then the rest of the S.Links are all about how the MC has turned into a Nice Guy douchenozzle.

Never played a Persona game, but GAF loves it so I may buy this next year (once my back log gets finished a bit). If I need linearity in my games, will this still appeal to me?

 

[2DMention]

My pre-order shipped from Amazon today.

 

[firehawk12]

Is Canada getting the guide? I couldn't find the P3 guide up here at all.

I couldn't find it either so I just got it off their site

Persona3, at least, was very much on rails.

 

[jon bones]

Persona3, at least, was very much on rails.

OK, so far, so good. A few more things someone may help me with:

-I keep hearing these games are like 100+ hours long... is that with sidequests or is the main quest that long? I don't know the last time a super-long game held my attention...
-Do I have to worry about the game + guide + goodies going out of print in the next 6 months?

 

[Knux-Future]

MY GAME SHIPPED OH YEAHZ!!!

I HAVE A PROGRAM TO FINISH AND 2 MAJOR EXAMS THIS WEEK OH NOEZ!!!

Damn you Atlus,,,,,,

 

[The Elite]

I'm buying this tomorrow just so I can it get while it's still easy to find.

I won't be playing it for a few months most likely though. Gotta keep playing P3. I'm only in September of the Journey.

Is there any reason P4 will be hard to find? I literally just picked up P3:FES and I saw it in a few stores. I'm assuming there will also be a FES style update of this as well if I don't bite on P4 now.

 

[mollipen]

It's either buy the guide now, or pay three times the price later on! I collect them personally. I even have this one!

I wrote the two opening text pages and then the next couple pages of information, by the way.

guide and goodies most likely, but I'm sure you can find the game 6 months from now. I would say the main quest in P3 is around 60 hours, but I can totally see people sending over 100 hours on it

 

[Amir0x]

Man I really haven't finished any games on my backlog, this is like a 80 hour behemoth or some shit. I'm so fucked.

 

[Tamanon]

Picked up the guide and the Gamestop guys said the game would be in stock tomorrow for me to pick up. Nice

Huh, the opening of the guide is really useful, laying out the different ways to increase your stats, and which ones you should concentrate on first. Pretty hefty 50 or 60 pages before even the walkthrough.

 

[Bob Coffee]

Ok so i went to gs today before class for last min p4 preorder action and low and behold i managed to get the art book early. I only had a chance to take a glance, but it looks good so far, even with the overabundance of the color yellow.

:lol :lol :lol
Some of those attack names were pretty bizarre. I kept forgetting them all the time. However, by the time I finished the game, most were glued to my brain.

 

[Tamanon]

Tentarafoo is Japanese for "Wasted turn of Mitsuru"

 

[baphometbones]

Tentarafoo is Japanese for "Wasted turn of Mitsuru"

:lol It's funny cause it's true. I hated using her just because of that, but everyone had that one really useless spell. I'm so glad P4 gives you full control.

 

[sublime085]

Just pre-ordered at Gamestop and they had artbooks! Yay. I got mine.

Tentarafoo is Japanese for "Wasted turn of Mitsuru"

I'm playing P3 right now and that move literally just saved my ass on the Magical Magi battle.

It charmed everyone and saved my ass big time.

 

[chespace]

I've been in an RPG mood lately (Last Remnant, Titan Quest, and I have Valkyria Chronicles and Witcher in my backlog). I think I'll pick up Persona 4 this week.

So it'll also be my first SMT/Persona game. Should I play Persona 3 first (not for the story but because it's so damn good?) or just start with this game and then go back to Persona 3 when I have time and have enjoyed this game? I gotta be honest, this series looks about as hardcore as it gets and I'm feeling intimidated.

I'm also going to Japan soon so this will put me in the mood.

 

[Shouta]

ALDJF;

FUCK

It's actually fairly balanced now. I got some SICK bonuses from them through the course of the game while getting hit with some bad ones. P3's shuffle time is waaaaay too nice and overpowering IMO and this new version provides some really cool benefits.

 

[velvet_nitemare]

Cannot wait. Will sneak a few hours in when i get it on Wednesday, since i'm not done with finals until Friday.

I say start with P4 for the sole reason that dungeons are supposed to be much more varied/distinct in setting this time around.

 

[Volcynika]

Persona 4 uses much of Persona 3's systems, so if you go from 4 to 3, you might feel a little limited in what you can do.

 

[Tamanon]

Fusion Forecast is more fun and useful than I thought. This game has so many more side things and methods of improving your characters/personas than P3.

 

[Blackjack]

Tentarafoo is Japanese for "Wasted turn of Mitsuru"

I thought that was "Marin Karin"

 

[Tamanon]

Hey Marin Karin actually surprised me a few times, especially when it worked on Tartarus bosses like the Knights.

 

[Guled]

Any word on 16:9 support, or will I have to resort to using the ps3 to stretch the screen

Now I'm curious to try it. Was getting a bit worried.

 

[chespace]

Uh, yeah this too.

I miss Igor's bone cellphone.

And I really miss Nanashi/Nameless and Belladonna. Was hoping P4 would bring them back when I knew P3 wouldn't have them, they add so much charm to the Room. Please, Atlus, for P5!

Interview in the guide mentions them. Igor explains why they're not there in the room in the game. Also the interview says that Philemon is the Butterfly in both P3 and P4.:lol

[rainking187]

Got my copy a couple of hours ago from Amazon. Was going to play DMC4 to hold me over, but since I got it today I guess I'll start it today. Better luck next year DMC4.
