My body is ready. Time to put on some Dethklok!
Me too.
I like One More just fine.
I have a feeling they'll change it though. One more is a changed up version of Press Turn, so it makes sense that they'd evolve it again.
I usually don't like turn based battles (which is why I'm avoiding the rest of SMT/Persona 1&2 for right now), but Persona 3/4 battle system was fine for me because it kept it simple. No summons or anything like that and the AOA system made you strive for something while battling. And when you got bored of battling, you could always stop and go do something else unlike a lot of JRPGs.

You know that Xenoblade isn't the only arpg out there right
Yeah. Hell, SMT has an ARPG with Raidou, don't they?
Exactly. One More was designed for Persona 3, and the whole concept behind Persona 3 was moving onwards and upwards. Battles were an obstacle, not a focus. If every battle was five minutes of white knuckled tension, as some people seem to want, the entire dynamic of Tartarus would have changed.
I'm not sure there's anything 'action' about Xenoblade.
But what I meant is that I don't want that kind of half-control combat you see in Xenoblade, Ni No Kuni, FF12 etc.
Now I just have the image of Chris Farley as a Chippendales dancer from SNL.

I think a cooldown system would be even worse, considering how MegaTen focuses so much on deliberation and forcing it into semi-automated real time means you can't really keep that element of tension decision making without simplifying or drastically altering the game
I still think they they should implement some more of the tension and complexity from the main games somehow, but I'm admittedly at a loss as to how that could be done without making it frustrating. Maybe have the party members be highly flexible like in DDS or P2 or something as opposed to the completely fixed skillsets we have now.
Honestly, my gut reaction is that I just want a slightly tweaked version of the P4 battle system. I don't think Golden added anything of value, either.
Got OT3 all written up last night. I'm ready.
We're so close....!!!

I think DDS mechanics would be awesome for Persona. I dunno if they could streamline it further, but that'd be a great example to take basics from.
Hey, I have the same internet speed. It sucks; when you're sharing it does so especially. But yay new thread.

I'm ready for OT3, but we've still got a page to go! It's not time for goodbyes yet!

I finished reading that Naoto novel, well, all that I can anyway.
It wasn't as bad as I was expecting, makes me want to crave a 'proper' Persona novel though!
So close!

Wait, really? I knew we were talking about the next OT, but I didn't even realize how close we were! Exciting times, PersonaGAF!
I liked that they gave the party members signature attacks, at least. Differentiated them from the protagonist and their fellow element user a little bit more.
Good.
We should hold a moratorium on posting up until the 23rd just for the lulz.
I liked those too. I'd forgotten them until now.
The team attacks were a waste of time though. They looked more lame than anything (Though Teddie and Yosuke's Japanese dialogue for them was amazing).

Those actually saved my life a few times up in the higher difficulties. We can all agree that the bike attacks are better off forgotten though.
What was the dialogue haha?

I'd love to upload the Devil Survivor live action show to youtube translated for all to see, but uh, I'd get all kinds of banned from YT. It's a very adult show, and I do mean adult.
Someone never played Rhapsody.

And people doubted we'd hit OT3 before the countdown site ended. Bah.
Also
Now this is something kinda creepy to wake up to

I had no idea something like this existed! Should I play the PSX or DS version?

I think I actually had a Legion with Sexy Dance and Charm Boost in my last playthrough. Dat Legion = baller status.
So, a new thread very shortly? Wonder if I'll be passed out before it comes to pass. Probably.
Post like 75 more times than OT3 XD
OT3 approaches. Goddamn guys.
Anyway, the PS4 is awesome and where a few of us have been, but I still kept checking the thread last night. All the development stuff is great. Thank you, pan-hime.
I'm interested as a fan, but also as a student. P4 has the greatest design synergy of anything I've ever played; all the systems feed into each other and you're never wasting your time. And of course it's cool to see the origins of the casts from games past.
It's time. I can't believe it.

It was more the performance from Teddie than anything. Every time he spoke I was in stitches.
Too jealous.

It's quaint that some 30 or so pages ago that I thought we would have been at page 393/196 on the 24th.
I actually avoided doing them. (That and I never actually bothered to upgrade the AOA so they were worse than my regular boosted attacks.)
Two words for you: Fusion Spells.
Also I'd like to have 5 party members in battle again.

Looks like OT3 is coming a week before Persona 5
It's gonna be a crazy start to the thread (ignoring the inevitable crashing of NeoGAF).
Why is it that you guys make new threads after 400 pages anyway?
, I hope.

I maintain people still aren't missing a whole lot with these launch games, but it's a fantastic OS and hardware. When
I have mine preordered for launch (Plus AC4 and KZ), it just isn't out here yet.
SOOOO excited. You may not have gathered this from my positive demeanor, but my Wii U was not the next gen I was looking for.
GAF rule to keep from screwing up the database. 20000 posts = new thread.
Ih, duh, Europe. Sweet! I got AC4 and KZ also, but I have Injustice coming on Monday as well.
And no, I would never have guessed!
I was going to get a PS4 this holiday but I figured I should finish up my Gen 6 collection and spend the next year catching up on the PS3 and savoring the first-party WiiU titles next year. I've been pleasantly surprised by 3D World, I was one of those people that wrote it off immediately when I first saw it.
That and KH ain't coming for at least another year. To be perfectly honest KH titles have nudged me into buying Sony Systems more than Persona has.

Yeah, I wasn't going to get AC4 with it, but it looks so great from the previews, so I gave Revelations another go and actually really got into it. Genuinely really excited to play Black Flag now.
If Persona 5 gets announced for PS4, that will be so, so amazing. I'll be screenshotting everything, haha!

PSX. DS version is garbage.

That's from the sequel if you want an idea of how the game works.
People randomly break out into song. It's glorious.
Yeah, same here. I don't typically enjoy AC, but I liked all the design changes I was hearing about and how it's "not like AC". Good. Standard AC kind of sucks.
And yeah, I know it's partly the high from that new console smell, but at this point? P5 on PS4 would be fuvking amazing. So much hype.
~Luna is my name and I'm a puppeteer, too!
With my fury friends there's nothing that we can't do!~
P5 would be the main thing that would get me to get a PS4 if it were on it. Next year sounds about right, but honestly I haven't heard too much that I'm excited about for it. I'll need to see more from the Order to really get hyped, and not sure MGS5: Prologue is gonna do it either.
I've got a fairly good PC, so any other multiplatform games I can just get for that.

For someone who doesn't have the know how/cash/patience to deal with a gaming PC, I'd love to see Persona 5 on Playstation 4 just because of how buttery smooth everything looks.
