You didn't max out Marie's S. Link. Do you have a save from December or so that you can go back to?

This guy knows what he's talking about.
Persona 3 Portable knocks almost every single song straight out of the park.
i'm screwed hahaha, it's alright I don't mind, my OCD doesn't go there
I think the reason I like The Almighty more than Fog is because while fog is intense, that's expected out of a final boss theme. Almighty, on the other hand, is a straight-up jam session. While it's also intense, it has a more mysterious sound to it, and that was just really unexpected during a battle that, at the time, I thought was the final battle. It's almost relaxing, soothing, which I felt went along with the "fog" theme so excellently. That's why it stood out, whereas Fog was just a stellar boss track.

You really didn't need that Link for the true end, it's best to save for a second playthrough. Only thing to worry bout is the events on 3/20
Hey, more reason for a replay.
You can still get the true ending, you'll just miss out on the bonus content for The Golden.
Also I agree with Fog > The Almighty, but only because the chorus of Fog is really good.

Was it for the PAX thread?

Looking at her post history, it appears that one of her favourite posters was banned for a really dumb reason, and she decided that GAF's administration and general attitude just wasn't something she wanted to be associated with.
A dang shame for sure, but I'd be lying if I said I haven't had similar thoughts before.

I see. I've never understood the idea of asking for a ban rather than just leaving, but to each their own.

Indeed you should, most definitely worth the time to play. Just play FES first.
You should. While 4's isn't bad at all, 3 has the better ending imo.
I'll be the third post to agree that you should start P3.

Do what the above folks say, you'll love it.
Just don't get FES off of PSN, save data issues and what not.

Here's another "play P3" post. So yeah, play it.
Just get the PS2 disc for FES, not the one on Playstation Store. Save data glitches exist in that version and some textures don't work properly.

Someone started a new let's play thread on general about persona 3, and people in there were saying that the save and flickering issues were now fixed, if you redownload the game since there isn't any patching for it.
Am tempted to do that and see for myself. Should be fairly easy to check by loading up a save in the last block.

JOY!!!!
The texture glitches are mostly gone, but the save issue might still exist. It's no big deal though, it happens infrequently and can be avoided by having multiple save files (and when you go to save, save in 2 or more save files).
As much as I like P3P, i'd consider getting FES.

Well shit, wish I waited before deleting then re-downloading and re-installing.
But yeah, in Adamah, no flickering at all, so no more graphical bugs(last boss was horrendous with this, as anything black on him for some reason flashed the same way as the bug did). Save could be still in effect so maybe not worth risking, but at least that graphic crap is fixed.

Assuming my friend held onto his save data on USB or however he backed it up, this fixed version of P3FES could be great news for him. I'll tell him tomorrow about it.
That sounds awesome. And it gets you on the podcast.
We're actually trying to come up with ideas right now as Levito's had trouble getting plans set.
I think it's a great idea.
I went and tested it earlier when someone mentioned it was fixed. Saved my game about 30+ times in The Answer and didn't encounter any issues. The graphical glitches appeared to be fixed too.
That said, the color palette is still too washed out on HDMI displays.

Having played both the PSN and PS2 disc versions of FES within the last month, it looks drab on anything above am SD TV using composite cables sitting 12 feet back. The graphics haven't aged gracefully at all.
If that P3 platinum you masochists are often clamoring for ever comes out, I'd like to see them replace the 3d character assets with at least that strange cell shaded anime girl 3d situation all the other non FF budget JRPGs are going with now. It's actually a specific program right?
No no no.... That's not what I'm talking about. The color palette is outright messed up on the PSN Classics version using HDMI RGB Full. For some reason the game forces itself to Limited, even though other classics on the store don't do this. Crash Bandicoot 3 for example plays perfectly fine, with proper black levels and all...

You mean how it's almost like a vaseline over everything? I know it does look weird, color wise. Still very playable, but noticeable.

Everything covered in Vaseline? =O
It's hard to describe. There's no "crispness" to the picture at all I guess, everything's muted.
For the PS2 as well as the PSP, I have a device that turns the component input signals into HDMI so I can plug it into my monitor, and I *think* the same thing happened with P3 AND P4 though. It may just be something with the way they were made.

I've actually owned FES on my PS2 for quite some time, but I got busy with school work when I first started playing it, so yeah, it's just been sitting in my room
I'll see if I can take a picture to show. It's very obvious on my monitor compared to say... Crash Bandicoot.
EDIT: Meh, didn't show up on camera. But yeah the black levels are fubared.

Yes. My favourite, though I prefer the original.
I wanna add this one because I don't think anyone's posted it yet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDv5xhqq7Iw
Wait, it was announced that long ago? Or was the listing on the PS site taken down?
I think this is the best word I've ever had to look up in a dictionary.
The Pachinko website article talking about an upcoming "Megaten Boom" because of an upcoming Persona 5 announcement for the PS3 was published on July 2, 2009. Japanese bloggers picked up on the news on July 20, 2009 and the Pachinko website swiftly updated their article on July 21, 2009, removing all mention of Persona 5.
As for the PS site, I'm not quite sure how they handled the listing. My guess is they changed the game's name from "Persona 5" to "Persona."
Game's development was officially confirmed on March 24, 2010.
Shameless plug here because it has all information we know of about Persona 5 and I personally think it's interesting.
That could be the worst thing ever.

Ah, someone's never seen Saving Private Ryan ;P
Fish would be all like, "Japanese games suck by default, so this game now takes place in America. Also it is a shooter."
By the way, I just watched a horror movie called Sinister on TMN. The entire thing was like a clichéd mix of Paranormal Activity and Persona 4.
lol
Best part of Sinister is the soundtrack. Some of it is surprisingly decent, whilst other parts are genuinely atmospheric and eerie.
I rented it because horror movies don't really scare me and I thought this looked like Fatal Frame, and therefore very scary. Turns out it wasn't but I enjoyed it all the same.
GiantBomb would love it.
