Susano-O was the only ultimate Persona that I liked far less than the one preceding it. That is not sufficiently funky! That older design is cool but doesn't really suit Yosuke.
I'm saying it's too cool for him. >__>

Honestly, I liked most of the first stage Personas more in P4. The only ones I thought looked significantly better were Kanji's and Naoto's.

Yeah, that's one of the things I liked about Yosuke's Personae once they were pointed out to me. Them being garish and ridiculous pretty much meshes with Yosuke's personality.

I mostly agree, only with Chie's instead of Kanji's. Suzuka Gongen is definitely the coolest of the P4 character's personas imo.
I'm so hyped/excited

The episode is going to be about discussing the countdown reveal right? What kind of questions could people come up with beforehand? I feel like if the reveal is p5 then their will be plenty to discuss already.
You're excited, huh?
How could you tell?
Teddie is the drill who will pierce the heavens!

Of course I am
Probably my new guys, but if it does not work out, back to Mitsuru I go!

Awesome stuff.
Take-mikazuchi's original designs were really different. Cool designs, especially the big middle one, but the current version probably fits Kanji's character best.
Early Kintoki-Douji is scary just like early Teddie.
Can't even tell what's going on in most of those Himiko sketches.

Why the obsession with jets and rockets for Teddies personae?
The figure Teddie's Persona is based off of carried a tomahawk. Teddie's persona carry tomahawk missiles instead. More modern looking that way. Most of the Personas from 3 and 4 look very futuristic and having a plain old axe kind of messes that up.
Yeah. Since P4 is set in a more rural setting and is based on Japanese mythology, it seems like they might've been initially aiming for a more traditional Japanese folky vibe before going all modern and hip.
So it's a folklore pun.
I can answer this: Retro toy motif and puns.
Think I would have liked the top-right one more than the Take-Mikazuchi we wound up getting. Ah well.

I understand the Kintoki-douji/Kintaro tomahawk missile pun, but in the sketch in the upper middle he has an axe AND for some reason his body is a jet turbine.
plus Kamui and Kamui-Moshiri continue this theme and they have no references to tomahawks or any of that

Erm. Yes, they are. From the official artbook. They probably shouldn't be linked.
They aren't? I didn't know and I'm so sorry! I'll remove them.
Nah brah it's tactical repositioning
They appear to be from the English release of the Persona 4 Official Design Works, which is a retail book, and thus linking them is against the rules. The P3 concept arts I linked earlier were freely available on AtlusNet, hence the difference.
That you would need to run by a mod for confirmation, although my gut instinct tells me they'd be okay if sourced.
And lots of juniors make that mistake. Dun worry.
It's a common Junior's mistake, don't be too down on it.

I remember when I was a junior... yesterday.
I find it kind of hilarious how old they all look. They are good designs, though. P5, maybe?
Me too. Older middle age Kanji could have totally fit in Catherine.

Show some deference, boy! I was a junior nearly two months ago!
Shadow Aigis makes me feel weird.

Where's "OH HI MARK" when you need it!?
In all seriousness, He still kind of does.
He starts getting good when you get access to his stronger physical skills (heavy level skills) in addition to Matarujaka. Just stick with him (or don't, if you prefer Chie as a character).
That literally couldn't be farther from the truth.
Vanilla Chie has absolutely nothing over Vanilla Kanji, and yet there's this prevailing thought that she's better. Crappier spells(Bufula is her highest level spell), crappier Physical skills, 0 support skills (and Kanji gets some really good ones) and 25 levels of having to use Black Spot. Oh and he gets Primal Force, which is unquestionably one of the best skills in the game. Vanilla Chie sucks.
Oh that's hilarious. Junpei's actor (Kosuke Toriumi) voices Mark in the Drama CD for Persona 1 that was released after the PSP version.
Yup. In the original game Kanji is superior for much of the mid and end game. Chie does have a small niche however.
I ran with the golden 4(Yosuke,Chie and Yukiko) for 90% of P4G.My party in vanilla P4 was Chie, Kanji, and Yukiko.
I couldn't bring myself to not use them together.
Is it a GALACTIC niche?
And I could have sworn poer-charged God Hand Chie outdamaged Primal Force Kanji.
I still used Kanji either way so whatever.
I like the characters that came later on a lot more than the early ones, so Chie and Yukiko were replaced literally the moment I got Kanji and Teddie respectively. Yosuke was ironically the one I didn't dump in Vanilla.

I didn't have a party per-se because I tried to use every character equally (and got my ass handed to me a few times because of it)
but if I did it would have been: Teddie, Yosuke, Chie.

Power Charge God Hand was actually weaker than 2 rounds of Primal Force.
:lol
Primal Force had stupidly high base power.
In a single attack yes, but Primal Force will equal or out-damage God Hand over the course of a fight.
God Hand has a base power of 1600. Multiplied by 2.5 for Power Charge, means you get a base power of 4000. Primal Force has a base power of 2200.
Chie over four turns: Power Charge - 4000 - Power Charge - 4000 = 8000 base power.
Kanji over four turns: 2200 - 2200 - 2200 - 2200 = 8800 base power.
On average, over the course of a fight, Kanji's damage will be higher. Mind you, this all falls apart if the enemy is weak to physical due to how Power Charge works. But how many enemies are weak to physical in the game? Almost none, because of the merging of physical categories.
