Preliminary thoughts on Persona 1:

• This game has a fantastic soundtrack... and there are people who actually hate it? What? Why? I really can't fathom that. I mean it shouldn't be too surprising to me, since it's Meguro, but wow, it's really good. (A lone prayer, and the world map theme are my favorites so far)
  
• Even though it's an old game, the touch ups given to it make look and feel significantly better. Really giving the nods to Persona 3 and 4. (For example, there is a black card that spins during the

• 
  
  Yea the music is good but it will REALLY start to grate soon given how few tracks are in the game. About halfway through I played listening to podcasts and other stuff, mostly in dungeons. I did tend to play for several hour stretches which did add to the cloying eventuality.
  
  Never played the original, so complaints are a bit lost on me and the chirpy change, but I found it mostly fitting. It's still a mostly upbeat game with a bit of dark overtones.
  
  I finished a few weeks ago on the true path(SEBEC side). 30-40 hours is accurate. Took me around that. I expect snow queen is much shorter but tougher. My save before the decision was 3.5 hours. Was told to add 15-20 to finish that route.
  
  Enjoy the game though. Story is ok and the characters less beloved than the other games, but I found the gameplay held up far stronger than my recent play of innocent sin. It has its own quirks that bring it down, but it's far better paced and snappier with negotiations and auto battle.

Only 3DS game that caused pain was Mario Kart for some reason. Everything else was fine.
With the XL I've had no problems at all with any game.

MK on handhelds is whack. Period.

I can't fathom a single reason as to why.

 

[Levito]

Mortal Kartbat.

Oh my god this episode is so amazing.

Seconded, it's really good so far, about a little over halfway through. I don't know how I didn't put the connection that she was Poison in SFxT so I was all "whoa wut so cool" when that got mentioned

Missed these, thank you both so much. ;_;

So much good feedback on this episode, these are so fun to do.

 

[cjkeats]

Mortal Kartbat.

You mean Motor Kombat.

 

[buddha0991]

Yes, Marin Karin is pretty whack.

Obvious Persona 1/2 reference

 

[cjkeats]

The rare Persona 1 cosplayers.

 

[tintin1029]

Man I hope P5 makes a Mitsuru Marin Karin Reference or something

 

[Young Magus]

The rare Persona 1 cosplayers.

Pretty well done if I say so myself...

 

[Squire]

Bit past midnight in Japan. So, when does the concert start? Obviously still hours away.

 

[Dantis]

Starts at 6:30. So eighteen and a half hours, I guess?

 

[Squire]

Starts at 6:30. So eighteen and a half hours, I guess?

Figured we were about 20 hours out, so makes sense.

 

[Blick Winkel]

Starts at 6:30. So eighteen and a half hours, I guess?

So then how long after that is the P5 reveal?

 

[Tamanon]

Basically tomorrow at this time, we'll know of any P5 teaser there, and probably Famitsu leaks will hit since it'd leak earlier than most stuff(being highly anticipated).

We're almost there guys!

Spoiler

I hope

Yep. Here's to hoping!

It wouldn't be after the concert, but at the close of it, I presume. You know, like a "By the way, here's one more thing!" type of deal.

 

[PK Gaming]

According to LJ, the concert will be broadcasted live through this site.

We should all watch it together, at the same time.

Awesome! We totally should!

PersonaGAF Live

Yes. I agree with this sentiment. I want you guys to be there when we finally bear witness to the concert version of Danger Zone!

 

[Levito]

So what time PST is the concert?


Crazy to think it might actually be announced today, I mean it probably wont be, not nearly enough rumours. Here's to hoping though.


EDIT: Oh god it's going to be on at like 2am.

 

[Dantis]

WHAT.

It's like 4 in the morning here, but I might stay up for it.

EDIT: Wait, I worked that out wrong. It would be like 11am.

Definitely going to give it a look.

EDIT 2: I might be misinterpreting this, but it looks like it's behind a paywall. 1500 yen per hour? If that's right, that's pretty pricey.

 

[Levito]

Hmm to go to work tomorrow or not...

 

[CrazyTank940]

So what time EST should I expect this to stream at?

 

[PK Gaming]

Damn it, you're right.

We need to purchase a ticket in order watch it LIVE.

 

[Levito]

So what time EST should I expect this to stream at?

5:30 am.

 

[Yo93]

So Who is streaming da streaming?

 

[CrazyTank940]

5:30 am.

Yeah I'll be asleep by then :/


Just let me know when nothing gets announced at the end

 

[Blick Winkel]

Damn it, you're right.

We need to purchase a ticket in order watch it LIVE.

 

[Levito]

Honestly the concert itself isn't the interesting to me, the footage I've seen of previous years with someone awkwardly dancing in a Kuma costume was weak.

Only interested in the potential P5 reveal.

 

[Caladrius]

At the very least if there's any news it will most likely be in Famitsu.

 

[Levito]

Isn't the concert supposed to be like 3 hours long too?

 

[Trigger]

Awkward dancing in a Kuma costume sounds great.

 

[Sol1dus]

It's funny because I'm fine with the Vita.

3DS on the other hand, after a while, my hands hurt.

Yeah 3ds is the only console to ever make my hands legitimately hurt after playing.

 

[Logash]

Why do you guys think that it might be shown there?

Teddie was the MC. Previous years it was Igor, but obviously he couldn't do it last year.

The concerts are amazing.

Why do you guys think that it might be shown there?

Because if it's ready to be shown they'd be stupid not to show it there. It's the biggest Persona event ever.

 

[Dantis]

Why do you guys think that it might be shown there?

I would advise against putting too much faith in it. It's a hunch at best.

Agreed. I'm almost tempted to pay to watch it, but I shouldn't really.

 

[Levito]

The concerts are amazing.

Have this in the background right now.


It's pretty good, though certainly not what I'd qualify as an amazing concert.


I'd def watch it live if it wasn't behind a paywall/ridiculously late on a week night.

 

[Squire]

You keep trying to force this and it's not. Heresay is not a hunch.

 

[Dantis]

You keep trying to force this and it's not. Heresay is not a hunch.

Unless somebody has said to you "They're showing it at Persona Music Live", then it's just a hunch, right? It's only hearsay if it's actual information, rather than something extrapolated from vague hints.

 

[Tamanon]

No matter what, tears will be shed tomorrow.

Oh, ye of little faith

Your hope is running a little low there, and your negativity is too high.

 

[Sophia]

Damn it, you're right.

We need to purchase a ticket in order watch it LIVE.

Yup, it's like $30 an hour counting tax and all.

I don't think Persona 5 will be shown off at PMF2013 anyhow....

 

[Dantis]

Oh, ye of little faith

Your hope is running a little low there, and your negativity is too high.

It's like we've all forgotten the E3 hype train! GOTTA STAY ON THE RAILS THIS TIME. LAST TIME WE CRASHED AND BURNED.

Neither do I. I think it will be Famitsu, as ever.

But the train runs on hope and hugs man

 

[Logash]

Yeah I was hoping for some precedent or something. I think TGS is more likely even though there was never a Persona announcement there.

The concert, yes. August, no. It's this month.

 

[Dantis]

So like I say, a hunch.
