Do they need to? None of their eye or hair colours are really out there .

Yukiko manages to have perfectly black Irises, not to mention Naoto's navy colored hair.

Also, in my quest to see if irises could indeed be black, I found pretty flowerrrrrs.

Pretty sure Yukiko's eyes are meant to be a very dark brown. You wouldn't be able to see her pupils otherwise.

I know people who have eyes that almost look black because they're so dark.

Yes. The entire plot of arena is predicated on her kidnapping and revolves around her, and she's the only character original to the game anyway.

This is my thinking also.

I think Buddha should do it. He's already got the P4 cast down.

Asking Mike to draw seven characters would be unfair due to the huge amount of effort he puts into his art.

Every pixel tells a thousand words.

 

[Squire]

but that's the best part

I've seen some nightmare inducing Nanako art. *shiver*

Y'know, when you said protags and Labrys, I actually thought you were literally going to draw every playable character and it did not occur to me just how much work that would be in the style you draw in, haha. In that case I'd actually go against the vote and say Labrys doesn't fit in 'cos she's not a silent protag, but whatevs, Labby is cool.

Noooo, just P1MC, Tatsuya, Maya, both Makoto's, Aigis, Yu and maybe Labrys.

Also, Aigis isn't silent either.

 

[jello44]

Image boards, man! You can check the various boorus (danbooru, gelbooruetc.) Pixiv, and the stuff in the post above is from ZeroChan. There are more, too.

Use safebooru.

Oh you're including Aigis? Makes sense then. Aigis and FeMC front and center of course. Best designs ;p.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Someone in the B/S/T thread just sold me their official Junpei hat, and it should be here in the next week or so!

This is me right now:

All kinds of jelly.

 

[Caladrius]

I wish they sold official Tarot decks. I'd want to hang them up somewhere.

How much was the hat?

 

[ScraftyDevil]

How much was the hat?

$30, which isn't so bad when you consider that it usually goes for $50-80.

Also, this might be what you're looking for.

Something's telling me I should be worried about this .

I would buy a persona 2 tarot deck, am I a hipster?

Persona 2 is too mainstream.

There were Persona games before Persona 3?

 

[buddha0991]

No they came out after, as shitty psp prequels, and they fucked up the mythology.

Oh yeah!

I remember now.

 

[Necrovex]

Yeah, Persona IS was a pretty bad prequel.

I hate how they tried to get to the COD crowd with that one. Seriously.

Persona 1 and 2 are like pre-Bruce Dickinson Iron Maiden.

 

[cjkeats]

Is Arena supposed to be Blaze Bayley era Maiden?

 

[cj_iwakura]

It's funny how the OPs to the Persona remakes go from fantastic to worse to on par. (P1-IS-EP)

I'd say P3P's is on par too.

 

[PK Gaming]

So I pretty much finished my solo Izanagi run. Here's my current Izanagi:

IS's is amazing, you loon. Unbreakable Tie is the best Persona 2 track there is. It's also pretty interesting because it's probably the heaviest Meguro song. Really great animation too.

HA.

I love this analogy.

 

[kewlmyc]

Community banner-related question: I'm going to do a picture of all of the protagonists. Should Labrys be in there? Technically, she's a protagonist.

no

No Null/Absorb/Repel Wind makes me sad, PK.

It drastically changes the tone from somber to heavy. That's why I dislike it. EP's keeps the tone intact.

To be fair almost none of the bosses after September (besides

Margaret,Adachi and Kunino Sagiri, and for the latter Makarakarn nails him hard

) even use it.

Decent. Very Persona 2-esque. Like a lot of old SMT tracks, it would benefit hugely from modern synth/real instruments.

 

[PK Gaming]

no

Oh that was deliberate. I wanted to keep the theme of the initial Persona having a weakness, like with the other main personas.

I believe it was composed by the late Toshiko Tasaki who composed Persona 1.


And funny you should mention, it got remixed in Imagine!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHGPMhIiTlU

Still uses synth(I think), but definitely updated. I love how close it is to the original.

P5 to appeal to the Gran Turismo and the DJ Max audience


Unbreakable Tie is cool, but it is in no way the best song associated with Persona 2, just cuz Meguro made it, doesn't make it the best.

Also, Labrys should be there Dantis. Do not forget to put in Aigis and Maya though. People tend to forget one of them.

I love DJ Max but I cannot stand Gran Turismo.

I hope P5 drifts away from the style and atmosphere of 4.

DJ Max is awesome too bad they went all iOS/Android gaming...... and technika tune isn't on par with the portable series

Sooo, yeah. It's the first time I've ever fought her on Very Hard, so I'm pretty pumped!

 

[PK Gaming]

A fully powered up Helel? You got this.

I think i'll challenge Margeret too. Just gotta finish her Social Link hehe...

 

[Caladrius]

I was going to challenge her on my last playthrough but I didn't know how to beat her without Naoto's SHIELD OF JUSTICE. (I deleted it like a moron.) Maybe I wasn't optimizing my damage output. Hrm.

Try to make it so that she hits 50% HP on her 50th turn. That way her Turn-50 Morning Star will override her half-health Diarahan, and she won't ever heal herself

 

[Squire]

I finally read that GI article on Atlus USA. Great stuff.

I do think it's a little funny people still entertain the idea that they would take out S. Links or cut them back. It's like suggesting Rockstar make a linear GTA.

My PSP ran out of charge literally at the exact moment that I killed the boss in P3P.

I hate everything.

It goes into sleep mode, the data should still be there. Protip: when the light starts flashing, kill the brightness and the sound. It'll buy you some time.

Wouldn't that heal Margaret?

I've also been attempting to defeat Margaret with less than optimal equipment on Hard mode. First time I got Megidolaon 9999ed halfway through her hp after she healed. Second time I also got Megidolaon 9999ed at ~2%hp after she healed ;_; I'm now considering switching yukiko out for teddie in for that marakukaja. Thing is i'd have to grind him up from level 56 T_T

I wish the 3DS did this. I lost some playtime on the new Etrian Odyssey demo and SMT IV because the battery shut off and I didn't see the indicator.

Wouldn't that heal Margaret?

Yes, it would.
