But paycheques. I wish I had paycheques.
I AM NOTICING A DISTINCT LACK OF MAKI.
Narukami is obviously going to be Tatsuya. I was thinking Yukiko as Maya too. Chie as Ulala works. So does Rise as Lisa. I was thinking Kanji could be Nanjo, Teddie as Jun works. Naoto as Maki.
Thoughts?
Throwing out some ideas:
Yu Narukami with Tatsuya's school outfit(duh), Yukiko with Yukino's outfit, Chie with Ulala's outfit, Rise with Elly's outfit and Teddie with Baofu's outfit. Oh and Kanji with Reiji's outfit(though he's technically a P1 character)
Or hell, Yukiko with Tatsuya's red jumpsuit.
it's like i'm ordering from a menu
I didn't even think of any of the returning P1 characters. Ultimately I'd say just go with your gut and what you feel you'd like to draw.

Dojima as Katsuya
I'm not sure if I have much to actually add, but Palladion is a hollow shell of war, being nothing more than an animated spear/machinegun in a humanoid casing. Pallas Athena's humanoid parts are actually fully autonomous and seem cognizant judging by her gestures. Her features also look somewhat more humanlike and her face is brightly colored to stand out more, much like how a face is the most distinctive part of a human, being a window into their emotions and intentions. The shield also points to her becoming more of a guardian as opposed to an attacker. The protagonist is Aigis's sword, she is their shield.
Caesar is a strong, virtuous leader, being a paragon of strength and morals to those who follow and admire him.
Caesar's two most notable features are the black and white color scheme and the hole in his chest with some sort of figure inside. The black/white scheme is basically a symbol of his reconciliation with Shinjiro, whose death has left a whole in his heart. Despite that, his memory and ideals (the figure) remain and are now a source of power that Caesar draws his strength from (notice how his face and musculature are all black.) Though he draws strength from Shinjiro/Castor he still has the mind and ideals of Akihiko/Pollux, with his white head, garb and sword. On a last little note notice the globe (his world) are both black and white

Yeah, I came to the same conclusions! You've got me back into reading about the mythology, heh.
I hadn't given much consideration as to why they call her Pallas Athena and not just plain Athena. Apparently Athena accidentally killed her friend Pallas, and she took the name out of remorse. I guess considering the events before Palladion's transformation there is a very loose connection there.
And this has reminded me of one of the bigger reasons I like Persona so much. I have a keen interest in character design, psychology and mythology, and the way Persona wraps it up into a neat little package blows my little mind sometimes.
EDIT: Although, not sure what you mean about the world being black and white, certainly looks blue and green to me, but the point still stands.

And they gave Cerberus 3 heads in P3. I mean, WUT.
PERFECT.
It's great they use such underpinnings for the design. It looks random, but gains form the more you know of them. A neat feature on it is that if you don't "get" this stuff, most blows right on by, unnoticed (this is big for some people).
It, like the great music, would wound all Atlus games if lost.

But we talk about [insert your least favourite game/thing in the series here] everyday!
I meant something that doesn't make me cross my legs in terror.
I don't think we've had that argument in this thread yet.

Cerberus is rather appropriate, given he guards the entrance to Tartarus/The Underworld in Greek Mythology.
Orpheus charmed Cerberus to sleep at one point in the myths as well to get into Tartarus.

You misspelled PersonaxDetective.
Or do we pretend that doesn't exist?
Never read it. I totally should.
I have this thing, where the more people tell me something is shit, the more I
Especially when they act like it committed a crime against their families.
I'm the same way lol. If something really is as bad as I heard, I'll end up showing someone else for fun.
The best thing is, I always end up enjoying it because of the low expectations.
But then again saying I'm easily entertained is an understatement.
That's how it was for me on the first Persona anime lol
I'll only do it if it isn't too time consuming though.

Yeah, just as Cerberus guards the land of the dead, Koro continues to guard the shrine of his dead master. It's pretty cool. Such a kickass design too with those pointed heads and wings. Nothing beats Athena though.
I wish Soejima and the other persona artists did some work for the mainline games. I would've shit myself if they had done the Archangels instead. (I'm in the camp that mostly likes them
but the quirky high-tech designs for most of the persona would've translated amazingly and it would mesh better with the rest of the heavenly host, especially Metatron.)
Except Uriel
We all do, being the arrogant bunch that we are!
Awesome.

Wow, don't fuck with Akihiko.
You drew that? If so do one with him and Chie back to back :3

That shop would be great if not for the fact it replaced a character I like using
I just got to a scene in IS where Maya's theme started playing again and I got to thinking about how I'd like her to show up just to hear a updated version of that.
Imagine her reveal trailer. Fighting happening, all of a sudden a phone starts ringing from the shadows playing her ringtone, "Did someone call and order some WHOOP-ASS TIME?".

Well that is pretty awesome. Sounds like the P4A version of Heartfelt Cry, which is what I was expecting anyways.
No surprise, it's Atsushi Kitajoh. He remixed Heartful Cry for P4A.
I only approve of Persona 2 characters being in Arena if this is their mirror match battle theme.
Not me. You'll know when i draw things because I will trumpet it to the high heavens

Ok, that's pretty awesome
Ok, that's pretty fucking awesome
The significance of that being the mirror match theme would be Konishi doing the OST. Which I would be alright with. He's much more interesting that Kitajoh.
Also Arena arrangement of Heartful Cry is a bit yuck.
I started Innocent Sin but I got stuck in that stupid bomb shelter and had to take a break. Then Saints Row IV and my Persona 4 replay happened. I used to have the same problem with Zelda games where I started them, got frustrated and didn't end up finishing them until over a year after I first bought them.
300th post.> _ >
Nah. They've used non-Kitajoh tracks as the mirror match theme before. I just felt Konishi's version is stronger than either of the actual P2 battle themes. As far as fighting game tracks go anyhow.
