That and she's got satellite for a face, so even more weirdness.
Though it would be hilarious to see all the persona dancing.

I will buy P4D just to see HOW this will dance
My mind couldnt imagin that.
like most idol singers: it'll awkwardly shake its hips and sidle from side to side, while flailing its arms in a way that would make most junior varsity cheerleading squads cringe with empathetic embarrassment.

I hope they find a Megidolaon good way to integrate S link progression with your personas in P5.

Do you think P4D will ever come out of Japan?
If not I may end up importing it.

I think it will. I might import it anyway.

Looks like I missed a good discussion. Everything that needed saying has been said, so I will only say that removed content from games is always interesting, such as the Junpei romance for the Female MC in P3P.

Every title they announced on the stream will be released in North America.
If you're one of those PAL people, then, uh, well. Good luck, I guess?

Given that Rise's Persona is a support style, I imagine it'll just be there to justify the button prompts in a hilarious in-game way.
Never mind that, I want to see Jiraiya do the Worm and Take-Mikazuchi do some awkward stepping about.

I'll use the Chie one, thanks :3

Yo guys I have a question it might sound silly but do you think it'll be cool if Atlus made a anime adaptation of the detective Naoto manga and bundled it with Persona 5?
You can never have enough of Naoto or Rise
There are much more deserving things than Detective Naoto. Well, to clarify. Many things that are much more deserving.
I think you'll actually see it sooner than you would for SMT4, since you won't need to worry about Nintendo shenanigans. Project Diva got published in Europe pretty quickly, so now that Sega's presumably handling publication, I'm sure there'll be a faster turn around time. It helps when you're not part of a company trying to maintain an image of being family friendly, while saddled with publishing a mature game.
Sorry to burst the bubble of hope
Sega closed down a whole bunch of offices in Europe/Australia last year

Poor guys. But wasn't there a Persona movie before the P4 anime

Ah man, I hope I didn't get his hopes up just to dash them immediately. Still, according to Wikipedia, Sega did publish it pretty quickly, though I'm not sure if that was a special case.
Also, I can't say the idea of detective Naoto anything seems all that exciting. From what I've heard, she barely acts like Naoto in it anyway, so assuming part of the appeal to you is her personality, that'd get thrown under the bus. Granted, if forced to choose between that and Trinity Soul, I'd take that, but that's not necessarily saying all that much. That.

What was it? PM me it lol.
Final boss name.
Nope. It's awful.
The only good part is Soejima's new design for Naoto. Everything else about it is shiiiiiiiit.
I have a feeling this isn't what you think it is. Was it the EX Final Battle, by any chance?

It bums me out that the Kyoji Kuzunoha tribute was wasted on that garbage.
Well I actually already know the name for awhile, but that frigging title have FINAL BOSS stamped on it, so..
I didn't click the video, just the title already spoil you.
It's basically fan fiction. Some awful investigation plot strung together with various scenarios that are there to put Naoto in compromising situations where she acts completely differently from how she does in the games.
Hello new person. Welcome to the thread!
*shrug*
It's a great design either way. I think she looks great with long hair, too.

I was much too exhausted write a counterargument last night, but here goes:
Those are good points, but think of the implication of the main character being a jerk, that means that he, like everyone else on the cast, has problems that he needs to
resolve. Now, ignoring the movie for now just because I haven't watched it so i can't speak about it. Now, I can think of three normal reasons someone would go around telling people what they want to hear:
- Apathy
- Knowing that whatever you say they will continue doing whatever they want
- Fear of their response
The second one is actually true, but its still not a legitimate reason.
The third one however, makes the most sense given the game's theme is facing fear and stuff. Imagine you being in Makoto's shoes, you're an orphan, you've been bouncing around for sometime and somehow you end up in Iwatodai (I haven't played P3 in a while so I don't remember exactly why you moved there. Did Ikutsuki recruit you into SEES?) whatever the reason you moved, the fact is that there is nobody from his old life present at all, no family members, no friends, not even an orphanage worker to check in on you. The fact that you can just move in to a new city without anybody much caring means that he probably didn't have legal guardians (which he continues not having unless Ikutsuki adopts you sometime offscreen.) Somebody that's been that alone in life would very much be scared to lose friends by saying the wrong thing. By the end of the game he is very much fearless, which means he's probably gotten over his hangups and grown as a person.
I know I'm probably over-analyzing and his jerkiness was probably due to slightly sloppy writing, but let me dream dammit.
You are completely right about the romance. P4's romances are infinitely better written, what I was mostly referring to though was the fact that there is (kind of) some actual consequences for cheating, in that if you do two female SLinks at the same time one of them will reverse. Not a perfect system, as you can easily get around it, but its better than the consequence-free harem building that's present in P4.
I had actually forgotten about this because I barely ever went to the mall with the Dojimas, but you're right its one of the best things in the game.
I've said it before, but one of my favourite things about these games is the sense of place that they manage to convey though instances like this. Ms. Toriumi is a great example of this, as her a lot of her characterization is done through pieces of dialogue you can stumble upon - all of which comes from the assembled students/teachers throughout the year. It's through this
as well as her S-link
Her professionalism is anything but, as it becomes clear that she's lazy, (somewhat) incompetent, a habitual liar, and is feeling the strain of the rampant gender equality in the workplace. I'm not even lying when I say she's among my favourite Persona 3 characters.
Basically, take everything that Naoto's maid outfit represents, particularly the fact that they went to the trouble of rendering the butt crack for a character barely ever sexualized , and distill that into a story. They might as well have made her a brand new character, but I agree, she looks nice with long hair.

Wow, there've been a lot of new people posting here recently.

Unfortunately, I guess I'm too late for all the talk about Sho and his Persona... Anyway, there are two things I wanted to say about that that MAYBE haven't been discussed yet. The spoilers concern a certain character from Persona 2.
1. PerShona's title is "The Defaced Dark Messiah". I can't help but feel reminded of
.
2. Tsukiyomi is the Shinto moon god.
Oh, and one thing about Persona Q's canon status: I wouldn't worry about that until the game is released and we know more about the story. So far they could fit everything into the current story by simply pulling the almighty "EVERYONE WILL LOSE THEIR MEMORIES" plot device. Yes, even

Nyarlathotep's "God of 1000 Faces" title

One of Nyarlathotep's more famous forms is his Moon Howler guise.

Makoto and Shinjiro, since Q takes place during the typhoon that hits Tatsumi Port Island when everyone is still alive
Oh god, I need to social link with how many people again?
But yeah, even though I haven't been here long myself, it's always nice to see new faces.

It's fine, as I said I'll simply import it when it will come out in the US, so at least it will be in English.
I don't want to miss the very important and meaningful story they created for this.
Funnily enough, the maid outfit didn't bother me.
The Coronet armor was awful though.

Yeah, it's the reason why I couldn't give everybody in PersonaGAF their own tag a few pages back. We're too damn big, and getting a tag was like a strike of shame from me. You're so eccentric that you stick out, even in the PersonaGAF crowd
I've thought of a few more, but reposting this would just be beating the dead horse.
More than half of the book has been translated. It genuinely is that bad.
I didn't know what was worse, the misguided and tasteless fanservice, the bad design or the atrocious ingame model.
I can't wait to read the second half. Even more than the plot synopsis for Lightning Returns!

I for one, take it as a mark of pride for being distinctive.
Of course I am the sort to parade around wearing avatars with ribbons and butterfly suits and weird facial expressions.
Hello everyone! I have managed to get an account.
I have been lurking here since July/August (someone may remember me from the concert or the P5 announcement stream).
Talking about Persona, I played P4G right after it came out here in Europe (I'm Italian) and loved it. After finishing it (in like two weeks or less) I started P3P and finished it pretty fast (I actually got tired of Tartarus pretty fast and decided to cheat through it D
And I'm currently playing it for the third time, hoping to get the platinum (I'm following the guide on Gamefaqs for max SL and books).
Apart from Persona I like rpg, action and fighting games. I like anime and manga too (Sorry Dantis); I 'm currently watching Bakemonogatari.
I think I wrote a bit too much, but whatever. I hope someone will read. I'm rreally happy to join you all
Welcome, to the velvet roo- PersonaGAF!
It's a careful balancing point between being distinctive, being batshit, and being Dantis.
It's not really a mark of shame lol
I still can't believe they ripoff character just like that
LMAO
Aozaki Touko - Kara no Kyoukai
This novel is garbage all around
I still wonder to this date whether Soejima was pressured to rip Aozaki's design off ...

I still need to find an avatar D:
I was thinking about an Evangelion avatar but I'm not sure. What is the size of the avatars?

As another note, if the avatar is larger than either of those specifications it can't be used,
