In what way? I say it does. P2EP is the end of his development, P1 is the beginning.

Well that settle it I guess.. but who knows if IS ending will make me ultra hooked and wanted to jump straight lol

I already watch EP intro in the past, so I can guess a little bit about IS ending.

Not sure how to feel about it. I love her voice and I'm very curious to see how she will handle it. It's definitely different from what she did in P4G.

I love DanganRonpa. Is anyone getting the limited on the Nisa Store? I'm tempted, but the shipment is too expensive for Europe.

I'm thinking of getting it. It's not too expensive although I don't know how much standard shipping is.

Also just got to January in P4G, snowy Inaba is too legit.

One thing that's a bit disappointing about this version is that it's ridiculously easy on normal. All of the new Rise additions make battling a breeze and the plentiful Golden Hands name grinding a joke. The battle against
Adachi/Ameno
took me about 20 minutes including all the dialogue. Am at level 91 with no serious grinding, just running through the dungeons once more to beat the optional bosses.

I'm not getting their LE partly because I don't like to make investments like that for franchises I'm just getting into and partly because I buy things like this through Amazon as much as I can.

But I'm getting the vanilla game day one. I've only heard good things about it and I love the art style, which is why I already know Jun.

I'm excited to hear Erin in it. She's a talented actress and she really loves her work. She's awesome.

I stopped right after the dungeon where
Eikichi runs ahead of the group. The one with the optional fight.

The LE itself isn't but I remember checking the shipping rate and it was very expensive for Europe; I should check again though.

If you have a PSP you can play it right now using the English translation, it's really well done. I hope the LE will come to Amazon UK or even Italy too, if not in store.

I know, I've played the game. It's just a lot of people seem to be fans of Junko who haven't played the game yet. Maybe it's the design.

It will be interesting to see their reaction after the start and at the end of the game. That will be awesome.

PERSONA 5 SPOILERS INCOMING:
Once Chair-sama dreamt he was a waifu, a waifu flitting and fluttering around, happy with herself and doing as she pleased. She didn't know she was Chair-sama. Suddenly he woke up and there he was, solid and unmistakably Chair-sama. But he didn't know if he was Chair-sama who had dreamt he was a waifu, or a waifu dreaming she was Chair-sama. Between Chair-sama and a waifu there must be some distinction! This is called the Transformation of Things. The game ends with Chair-sama last being seen arrested for possession of CP (chair pornography) muttering something about wanting to be in college, instead of being held back in high school for another five years.

Ok, under my main monitor now, I have Elizabeth sitting in her chair, compendium in her lap as she's looking off to her left puzzled at the Yukiko nendoroid that's just there laughing.



I am easily amused.

So I watched the P3 movie last night. Got a postcard with Makoto, Yukari, Junpei and Fuuka drawn by Keisuke Watabe and stickers of Fuuka, Shinjiro and Buster Drive (a boss in Tartarus, it also makes an appearance in the movie).

Makoto came across as a bit of an emo dick in the movie to me, and the fights were rather unsatisfying, as they were mostly one-strike-we-win affairs. Pretty much the best thing about the movie was listening to the nostalgia-inducing music on a big screen (and now I feel like finding P3P just for the tunes, there were some BGMs I had never heard before that sounded really good), particularly
the rearranged version of Burn My Dread
.

Any chance of showing us the postcard? or a link to one? I'd be interested in seeing it.

I've heard several people say the same thing now. The second one should be much better just based on what it will be about.

I would of loved to have heard and seen the film on the big screen. I'm jealous of everyone who can!

Makoto can came across as a dick is not surprising, its probably the most apt choice..
I hope that also mean he gonna punch Junpei nose at least once, because I couldn't do it in the game.

Come on director-san, Japan hate him anyway.

I heard Makoto had great character development throughout the movie. Does he change by the end?

Attention to all P2:IS players

If you have completed Persona 2:IS but haven't beaten P2:EP, I strongly recommend that you take a look at this interactive Let's Play. It's a look into Persona 2:EP's fantastic story, but without the crappy gameplay. It documents all of the games text, and has a ton of pictures to accompany it. All in all, it's a solid Let's Play, and a great substitute for the actual game.

Please consider reading through it.

Hey so that crossover episode we did with the CoS folks? It was one of the best ones yet...



(Click image for episode link)


Though really, if you want to hear some really knowledgeable SMT fans discuss the timeline and everything, be sure to listen to this one.


TrueSelf made the amazing title card, and Armada made the hilarious intro for this episode. Both of them are grade A waifu material.

Started listening last night (stopped watching Akira to do it, in my defense the dub while well recorded doesn't suit the movie. Characters tend to be a lot more expressive in animation sometimes than the dub gives them) and after stopping for the night and picking up again today I'm a little halfway through. Great stuff so far. The titlecard and intro though, my friggin sides lol

Awesome! I finished Innocent Sin just yesterday and now I feel obliged to play Eternal Punishment as well (even though the gameplay is absolutely atrocious).

I'm still thinking about buying the PSP version of Eternal Punishment for the Tatsuya scenario though.

I'm going to find megaton spoilers for P5 and post them in a topic title on gaming side. I will be banned quickly and swiftly but I'd like to think the blaze of glory would be quite bright.

Don't kid yourself, if you aren't a diehard Persona fan, you aren't going to play through this (especially after just beating IS). This is the best alternative to getting people acquainted with arguably one of the best stories in Persona.

Hoping that everyone plays Eternal Punishment eventually, is wishful thinking at best. I love Persona 2:EP, and I want tons and tons of people to experience the story.

If you can read japanese, then by all means do that. The PSP version of Eternal Punishment is actually pretty good.

People have lots of ways to play it. It's not like they're playing Persona 1. It's a traditional JRPG with isometric dungeons.

If people can play FF7 and FF8 for the zillionth time(and they are), P2 EP is just fine.

If only we had gotten the PSP version of Eternal Punishment, all these debates would be moot with the best version. That said, I hardly think EP is unplayable unless Persona 3/4 was your first RPG.

FF7 and FF8 are much more playable than P2EP due to their stronger core gameplay mechanics and superior random encounter system. But that's not in dispute; don't try to drag other games here to prove your point.

If what your claiming is true, then it shouldn't be a problem for most of P2IS players to jump straight into EP. But if i'm right, and there are people who don't want to play P2EP due to it's time consuming antiquated gameplay, then I can actually help those people experience the P2EP story.

Either way, it's a win-win.

Yeah, I do. EP always gets knocked as an outdated game, but stuff like FF7 and Xenogears get put on a pedestal. It's silly. Their random encounter systems are no different.

Not gonna lie, I jumped into EP right after IS and ended up really sick of it around Mt. Iwato. I've been trying to make myself go back, but I can't quite work up the will. Watching a LP would be admitting defeat, but I guess it's better than never finishing the story. >.>

I actually worked on a translation of the Tatsuya Scenario some months ago using screenshots I got from a nice person on Tumblr. I gave up since the kanji in the PSP version are sometimes unreadable due to the font they chose which is no problem for natives, but gets extremely irritating when you're just learning the language.
