On a somewhat related note, still in the first dungeon of P2. Really loving the degree of incidental dialogue in the game. Been crawling around all the classrooms after big events to see if they're saying something different, and they usually are. I'm also really digging how present your party members are, for lack of a better term. Cool to see them hanging around the rooms or stores you enter and getting to talk to them about whatever. Already ran into some pretty funny conversations, haha.

Shame that the game proper hasn't so much clicked for me. Fusion spells are neat, but I really wish the random encounter rate were dialed down or something. As it stands, it's pretty discouraging.

The encounter rate was raised a little from the PS1 version. If you can deal with grinding a tiny bit, if you get the spell Estoma, once you are higher leveled than every enemy in the dungeon, when you have Estoma activated, there are no random encounters.

In my spare time I like to mess around with Photoshop and make wallpapers, avatars, etc. I've always liked the P4G wallpapers that came with the game, but since I like P3 better I figured I'd try to emulate that style.

Here's what I have so far. What do you all think? I still want to add in a few elements, 'cause it's not "busy" enough yet, but that's the basic idea.

I started out with Makoto, but if it turns out well I would definitely do the rest of the cast so that you could have a full set for your Vita.

Magnificent. I don't think you need to add that much extra. I think a more stark look suits Persona 3's tone better.

It is P5.

You should hope it is.

The alternative would be...unspeakable.

The steaks had something to do with..."fat bottoms", was it?

inb4 awkwardly late response

As for the Arcana stuff, I've taken this one a few times: http://quizfarm.com/quizzes/new/Cirrus/which-major-arcana-tarot-card-are-you/

I usually try to avoid ones with Persona in their name because they are in my experience poorly made and ask you questions that don't pertain to your personality such as: "who do u think is the killer? looolz"

XIX: The Sun
63%
XIII: Death
63%

Half optimism and half Death. Neato

Spoiler

actually pretty spot on.

Anyway if it's not P5 I'll eat the closest object that generally considered inedible at the time of the announcement.

Guys what if the site is teasing the Official Persona Barbecue Meet™. The locations are where they'll hold the barbecues.

Persona fans like meat right?

Evangelion products are truly absurd. I don't really get why. Hope Persona doesn't get like that.

Agreed. I'm enjoying everything about it except the act of actually playing it. Real shame. I don't think it's terrible by any means, it's just not fun.

 

[Soriku]

You like Evangelion right? You like to eat right? Well how about we combine the two and give you some Evangelion spoons.

I don't think it's that weird.

Because the market is there

Pretty much how I felt. Although on reflection I never really liked the gameplay in P3 or P4 that much either, but they were very easy to break so that wasn't as much of an issue.

My favourite combat system in an RPG is FFVIII because you could fuckin' break that game in two over your knee if you knew what you were doing.

 

[Sophia]

I know that. I don't get why the market is there. It speaks very poorly of Evangelion fans that they're willing to buy such trashy products.

Yeah, with P4 you either work the exploits or set the game to easy and boom; Done. P2 though, you can't really remove the element of tedium.

How is anything involving tiny spoons trashy?

They're tiny spoons!

Not how I play any game in the series. I love the combat in all the games.

[Dantis]

I thought the gameplay in 3 and 4 was amaaaaazing. P1 and P2's was pretty bad outside of some excellent boss fights. The guitar solo in the P2 boss theme got me pumped every single time.

Anime fans, what do you expect?

 

[Gazoinks]

Not how I play any game in the series. I love the combat in all the games.

Honestly, the only JRPG combat I've really enjoyed are FFX and X-2. I prefer my turn-based combat more tactical and grid-based a la some of the older WRPGs, Fire Emblem, etc.

 

[Caladrius]

Anime fans, what do you expect?

As I have drilled into your skulls before, the first 2 paper mario games have my favorite RPG combat evarrrrrr. Simple yet addictive.

 

[cjkeats]

And you wonder why everyone abuses you.

 

[Gazoinks]

Yeah, those're great games. I got up to the final boss of Thousand Year Door and then my save corrupted. ;_;

 

[Sophia]

Anime fans, what do you expect?

Evangelion is in this weird area in which the products that come out for it are extremely bizarre and extremely tacky. Can't remember if it was Dave or Keats who linked me all those utterly weird clothing products on Twitter a few months ago.

 

[Jintor]

I know that. I don't get why the market is there. It speaks very poorly of Evangelion fans that they're willing to buy such trashy products.

I ask myself why I buy $49.00 artbooks that objectively speaking I don't really read or look at that often, and it's not like a regular novel or manga where you read the story and get what you like outta that.

People buy what they're gonna buy.

 

[kewlmyc]

I know that. I don't get why the market is there. It speaks very poorly of Evangelion fans that they're willing to buy such trashy products.

I don't get it, it's just spoons and jell-o. Nothing that absurd. It's like those japanese cafes that have food and drinks based of anime characters. Persona has had a few of those. The way you were talking, I though it was Evangelion condoms or something.

 

[Squire]

Alright.

I'm the same way more or less.

You should play it again. I'm just about to get started on another playthrough of the original.

I didn't like TTYD when I first played it but when I got older, replayed it and thought about it I appreciated it a lot more, Pity what's happened since then.

Also PS3 GET!

You should totes recommend me some Jrpgs, shooters, combo action games and Racing games.

Final Fantasy XIII

Uuuh... Actually I have no idea, those genres aren't really my forte. Folklore is a pretty good underrated PS3 game, and I had a lot of fun with WipeoutHD. What other PS3 games do I even have... Dark Souls... Little Big Planet. I think that's pretty much it.

Valkyria Chronicles is great. I wish 3 was released in the west.

Well there are two dedicated Evangelion stores, http://www.evastore2.jp/ , Got to fill them up with something!

I do love the Evangelion clothes store!

Racing Games you say...

I will give you a bunch when I get to my computer, those are my specialty.

 

[Caladrius]

Thank all of ye so far. As a note I own all of the other 7th gen platforms (including an upper-range PC), so the PS3 is an "exclusives/superior multiplat/Console game with good online multiplayer I don't have to pay for" box for me.

 

[Dantis]

No recommendations for The Last of Us?

FOR SHAME, PERSONAGAF.

YES! So good.

It's amazing. I just wish he'd added parts like that to the other tracks.

Toriyama's new project, set to be announced at the end of the month. But that Aigis portrait is way out of date. You should see the outfits he made for our favorite robotic waifu. But ssshhhh, don't tell anyone I told you guys this. You didn't hear it from me.

I think that's sort of an extreme comparison.

Also, Nier is garbage, but you can get it for pretty cheap so *shrug*
