Yeah, it's startling revelation.

Part of me regrets that they didn't go through with it, but I always remind myself that in this shadow plot wherein

Spoiler

Yukiko

is the killer, all of the existing things

Spoiler

she's

done or has been a part of must be rewritten or removed in favor of developing

her

in another way. Is it worth it? Maybe, if you're into that sort of thing. Admittedly,

your very own party member being the killer is very awesome, and practically unexplored.

But in this reality, that is not the role

Spoiler

she

plays in this otherwise very busy story, and we just have to accept it.

Did you catch my amazing pun

 

[jaxword]

I found an article that says

Spoiler

they changed the villain at the last moment:

Nothing about that character though.

That's a good thing that the design did not reflect that change. It would've been even MORE obvious.

We may have had a villain with soulless black eyes and a mole and who eerily stalked girls and generally was every stereotype about The Creepy Kid in one package.

 

[ST2K]

To my knowledge, that spoiler is true.

Is this you saying you know or is this saying you've heard that idea before and you believe it?

 

[Squire]

I've heard the idea before. Pretty sure it was here on GAF, too. Could be false though. Who knows?

 

[Squire]

Posting for new page since the podcast thread is useless and we could really use the input.

We're discussing podcast seeeeeeeecreeeeeeeets!

Who would you all be most interested to hear from of these three actors:

Michelle Ann Dunphy - Margaret/Ayane Matsunaga

JB Blanc - Ryotaro Dojima

Amanda Winn-Lee - Yukiko Amagi

 

[Hecatonchires Custom]

Posting for new page since the podcast thread is useless and we could really use the input.

Probably Winn-Lee since she has been working with Atlus for Persona/SMT games since Eternal Punishment and it'd be interesting to know about Atlus circa 1999.

 

[ST2K]

Yeah, my, admittedly brief, internet sleuthing all points back to a post on GameFAQs where a user postulated that interpretation of the article, despite the article not mentioning that.

I'm going to assume that's just a fan theory then. Though it certainly would have been an interesting development.

 

[Squire]

Probably Winn-Lee since she has been working with Atlus for Persona/SMT games since Eternal Punishment and it'd be interesting to know about Atlus circa 1999.

Oh yes, we noted in our discussion that we'd ask her about that in the event that we talk to her. We'd also about Rei Ayaname, since myself and Levito are huge Evsngelion fans.

You aren't the only ones.

I had no idea she was Rei though. That's pretty crazy.

 

[brianmcdoogle]

Would it be possible to get translation staff on the podcast? I like the voice actors, but I would find the actual writing and script stuff to be interesting too.

 

[Squire]

It is! It blew my mind when I realized.

That's a great idea! The only person from their writing staff in Nich Maragos. He might talk to us.

We'll sit on that idea. We do want to talk to Atlus' PR guy after P5 is revealed, so that might be a good time frame to also do a localization show.

P5 will probably create lots of new episodes.

The idea does a number of interesting things. Imagine if

Spoiler

Yukiko and Yu are the "canon" couple from the game, like Yukari and Minato from 3? Gives a new lean on the Izanagi/Izanami thing.

Can't help but think Chie would jump off a bridge though.

 

[Dantis]

Jesus, the composer of SMTIV just followed me on Twitter. I'm freaking out, man.

Mate, that is amazing. Well deserved too!

For Amanda, I'd be curious to see what she thought of the original killer plan for P4,

Spoiler

I believe it was that Yukiko was the original killer until it was changed late in development.

. Maybe if JB Blanc has seen the Himsday comic?

I've never heard this. Not convinced of its reliability.

 

[Soriku]

Someone mentioned that the Persona concert starts at 5:30 right? What timezone is that?

 

[Dantis]

Someone mentioned that the Persona concert starts at 5:30 right? What timezone is that?

It starts in about an hour. The doors open at 5:30, but the show starts at 6:30.

You seriously shouldn't expect anything from it though. If something gets shown, that's fantastic, but we have no indication that it will.

 

[cjkeats]

1 hour and six minutes.

 

[Squire]

That's EST, breh.

 

[Soriku]

Oh, 5:30 AM? I thought it was 5:30 PM. I'm in EST, I guess I'll stay up.

 

[Meia]

Oh, 5:30 AM? I thought it was 5:30 PM. I'm in EST, I guess I'll stay up.

Finally my new sleep schedule of being awake from 9pm - 2pm pays off!

[cjkeats]

THEY FUCKING OPENED WITH TRUE STORY! YESSSSS

 

[Squire]

THIS IS SO FUCKING AWSOME

DAT OPENING

TRUE STORY

 

[Omikaru]

Reporting for duty!

Babybabybabybabybaby oooooooh yeah!

 

[cjkeats]

LJ with the teddie tatto on his arm. Meguro with the suave suit.

Goddamn this is already the best one yet 2 songs in.

 

[Yo93]

 

[Refyref]

I didn't recognize this song. Probably because I don't remember much from The Answer.

 

[Dantis]

Oh shit, I've missed the first half hour. What's played so far?

 

[Squire]

Yo, Keats, that was Rie Kugimiya in the beginning, right?

Oh shit, I've missed the first half hour. What's played so far?

Motherfucking TRUE STORY(!) and Mass Destruction.

 

[cjkeats]

Oh shit, I've missed the first half hour. What's played so far?

True Story, Mass Destruction, and Brand New Days.

Yo, Keats, that was Rie Kugimiya in the beginning, right?

Talking over the loudspeaker with Teddie and the others before it started it was.
I can recognize her "Let's go!" anywhere. Sadly she wasn't on stage, that was the regular crew performing True Story.

 

[Dantis]

Oh. I hate True Story, so I'm fine with that, haha.

Shame I missed Mass Destruction. Fucking loving Brand New Days. It's one of my favourite tracks.

 

[Squire]

So who was that younger singer then...

 

[Refyref]

One of the riffs during Brand New Days sounds very similar to P4's title screen theme. I don't know if it was intentional, but I will say it was and consider it a bridge between the games.

 

[cjkeats]

Oh. I hate True Story, so I'm fine with that, haha.

Shame I missed Mass Destruction. Fucking loving Brand New Days. It's one of my favourite tracks.

True Story was actually quite good, you'd have liked it with the people singing it.

Also, Brand New Days is my favourite ending song. I believe this is the first time they played it right?

So who was that younger singer then...

Shihoko Hirata

 

[Dantis]

Yeah. Really glad they played it. Looks like they might play Snowflakes?

EDIT: Shihoko sang True Story? Shit, now I'm sad that I missed it.

 

[cjkeats]

Shihoko and Yumi. It was great.

And they probably will play Snowflakes. I hope so anyways.

 

[Refyref]

I just looked at the side chat and saw

Dantis: Who wants to hug me?

I have no idea what the context was, but I laughed.

 

[cjkeats]

The real party is in the IRC.

And how fucking baller is Meguro tonight?

 

[Squire]

What? Wow, I didn't recognize her. Damn.

True Story was fucking amazing. Goddamn.
