GODDAMIT. It just had to be in the non-canon game ;____;

EDIT: Doesn't mean all these Persona 2 teasers aren't leading anywhere though, right? They've got angles that let them tackle Persona 2 on more than one front if their teasers actually end up being anything of substance. Maybe 2015 will be the year of Persona 2. Reboots, anime, and everything.

/Positive Think

I admit, no matter which direction they decide to go in the Arena sequel, I hope it brings in P1/P2.

Spoiler

Still hoping for Nyarly to be the Malevolent Entity and I'd love the Shadow Ops theory to be true. Nanjo and Mitsuru's money working together would be a force to be reckoned with.

Out of all the announcements, I think that one has the best shot from what we've seen thus far.

Chibigaf

the things I miss because of school. Dammit.


Also if someone can make me an icon if Chibi Mitsuru with her sword that'd be awesome.

 

[Lord Scrambles]

She's chibi, that doesn't make her a loli. :/

Not that there's anything wrong with lolis to begin with.

I don't understand why people hate cute things. Especially in cute games.

It's not that I hate cute things, it's just that it's too much, and it makes the design unrealistic. One of the good things about Persona is that, although stylized, the character designs are believable and realistic. The characters could be actual people you see everyday. Sadly that's not the case with her or crossbow dude

(although I might be a hypocrite because the only reason I gave crossbow dude a pass is my personal bias towards dual crossbows I.e. they're badass)

But I've digressed, perfect examples of characters that are cute without crossing the threshold into "too much" are Chie, Yukari, and if course Nanako and I'd rather the series follow the precedent set by these characters than go to a different route.

 

[Trigger]

What's with Persona 3 and food?

I'll have an Akihiko with a side of Yukari.

 

[Levito]

Get crunked off Yukari's essence.

Yeah, if Persona Q's art style was similar to Persona 3/4's, the new girl would have "correct" body proportions like Yukari, Chie, etc.

 

[Spectrasonic]

Have Yukari or Junpei's instant kills Bern revealed?

 

[kewlmyc]

What's with Persona 3 and food?

They do that for nearly every other anime out there. Persona 4 had drinks too.

Hey CT, here's a couple of avatars. One is just Mitsuru, and the other features a PQ-style background like my new one.

Enjoy!

EDIT:

I can in a couple if hours. Can you post the picture you're thinking of?

Whoops, sorry about that Spectra! I didn't see your message until after I posted these :X

So, I played about 6 hours of IS. I really like the characters - seriously, they're great. Immediately likable, well-written; I'd love to really see where they go, eventually - and the music's bumpin'.

But the act of actually playing that game is a chore. The gameplay is repetitive (spam fusion spells!), the design is redundant (here's three damage types even though they could probably all fit under one!) and it's almost offensively full of red herrings (you can buy weapons and armor even though you shouldn't!)

The fighting isn't fun and the encounter rate is crazy high in IS PSP as well. Someone will quote this post in thirty minutes or less to say how the game isn't really that bad, but I think it's deeply flawed.

It's worth a try though as a piece of the series history. I hope you like it.

Pretty much where my thoughts went with IS. It has a great story to tell with tons of great characters, but the actual act of playing through it is just boring.

What's with Persona 3 and food?

Actually, Fuuka looks delicious.

 

[fertygo]

Not too excited about other 3DS Personas game other than Devil Survivors 3 ;__;
Q should went to that route instead EO

I could drink Yukari up all day.

 

[TurnipFritters]

for the people who were complaining about how p4DAN seems out of place for the persona series, literally every game in the series besides p3 has had dancing, including, perhaps most importantly to this discussion, the game p4DAN is a spin-off of, so y'all need to chill the h*ck out. it isn't like they took a series you really liked and transformed it into a dating sim.

 

[TurnipFritters]

the game p4DAN is a spin-off of,

the part with the velvet room people still rubs me the wrong way. everything else is silly and stylized and then their part isn't and that makes it look weird and out of place.

 

[kewlmyc]

I could drink Yukari up all day.

You always make everything sound super perverted.

 

[fertygo]

P4 best moment is when shit goes silly, let see what happened if they goes all out on that front.. Yu better done a double backflip at some dance.

Hmmmmm.....


Maybe.

One reason is that they've made her hips wider than her shoulders.

 

[animaSerah]

Maybe.

You looking for an avatar too, Levito?

 

[kewlmyc]

Damn, everyone's getting all chibi'd up. I'll take a Koromaru if anyone wants to bother with it.

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

Cute summoners doing cute things

 

[Squire]

 

[Tiu Neo]

Fabulous.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Re-reading the live countdown thread is priceless, a lot of people bashing Persona Q are using Persona Q/chibi-themed avatars now.

 

[kewlmyc]

He looks like a girl...

Am I the only one who is not that hyped about PQ? While the concept looks fun, I just hate random encounters so much for some reason. A game with random encounters is literally hard to play for me, although I really don't know why I feel this way. Though I suppose I could give it a try anyway, if I ever decide to import a 2DS for SMT4 and some other games.

Also strange to hear that P5 was moved from PS4 to PS3, seems like a bigger effort than dealing with whatever problems they had with the PS4, unless they simply ran out of money, which is quite possible with the whole Index situation I guess.

Random encounters really depend on the game for me. If it's a relatively linear dungeon crawl game I don't mind. If it's game where you're doing a lot of backtracking over areas with random encounters it is the devil itself.

 

[PK Gaming]

I saw this on my tumblr dash and cried

tears of joy

 

[Gazoinks]

Lookin' pretty shoujo Narukami.

Which reminds me of the final dungeon in Nocturne. That was painful. I think that game might actually have made me hate random encounters, because I remember not minding them in the older FF titles for instance.

 

[Levito]

Thanks!

Awww darnit!

You looking for an avatar too, Levito?

Has there been a chibi Yukiko icon yet? I'd love one. :3

 

[CrazyTank940]

Awww darnit!

You know what they say, the early bird gets the icon

...no wait, the early poster gets the worm



fuck I'll make this work somehow, gimme a bit to think of a proper phrase

 

[kewlmyc]

Thanks buddy!

Well that's... not quite how I'd have drawn him.

Hopefully something worth drawing fanart of will come out of P4D.

HEY ALL YOU FIGHTING GAME PLAYERS. On the 13th Dacidbro, along with Lordknight(yes THE Lordknight) will be coming on the podcast. Are any of you well versed in fighting games interested in being on the panel? (It'll also be livestreamed)

uuuuh P5 was literally never being developed for the PS4. It's always been a PS3 game.

The Dacid signal worked!
