Weird, some people don't like certain characters.
Female MC is great! Whose be hatin on her? :|
I don't really view the MCs as characters, more or less they are just projections of what I want to be in that world. I know they all have a kind of shell of a personality in their response options and designs(How can you imagine the P3 MC as anything other than stoic and deadpan? dude runs around with his hands in his pockets!), but even still. I just always try and create my own characters from silent-name-yourself protagonists. At least until the anime/fighting game/sequel comes along and gives them a full personality.
It was a little disorientating going from IS to EP, and all of a sudden Tatsyua is talking and acting different than I imagined him. Same with the P4's MC going to Arena.
Anyways, in other news.

shes kind of overrated
So then.. every protag since p3? They're blank slates.

Okay. So are you saying that the male and female P3 main characters are of equal likability?
You're kind of overrated. :|
Im saying that P3/4 protagonists have no inherent depth to their personality, it up to you to like whoever you want; a lot of it based on what you perceive he/she is . Was just responding to Buddha, I don't think they're overrated just popular among fans. People have their preferences, nothing wrong with that.

I'm just here to denounce anything that's not cannon and celebrate anything that is
besides her cheery outlook goes less well with the game's Themes/having Thanatos as her Persona than Minato's.

Celebrating anything that's canon...so...Persona 4 Dancing, basically?
Not sure if it was posted, but Dantis's new art: Naoto and Rise dressed up like characters from Disney's Frozen.
Some girls might wear it at just below the belly-button, if they have the figure for it. The Gekkoukan skirt also appears to have a large waistline or a belt built in.

Ah, I thought you were saying that one MC can't be overrated more than another because they're all blank slates.

sadly...yes
I mean its good especially Rise, but aren't those two characters sisters or something? wouldn't Yukiko and Chie fit better? Especially cuz Chie does the ice magickz and Yukiko's name means snow
Oh hey, I had totally forgotten the fact that Zen United was all: "More info soon!" for P4U2 a while back, even though it probably had nothing to do with a localization tease.
It'd be nice if Atlus acknowledged audiences outside of Japan a bit more when it came to their recent projects. That and an actual "Atlus Europe" would make it easier for them to take over the world.

Huh, Persona Europe? How are they related to Zen United? I thought they are just a fanpage being run by fellow Persona fans?
Yup.

Atlus Japan isn't as tightly integrated with Atlus USA, I assume. It's not like Bamco where they know it's a global initiative project well in advance. They do JP's thing, then Atlus USA decides how to do theirs.
You'd think that from all of the random stuff they post on their page, but I'm 95% sure that that's the official Zen United page based on what they were posting during the P4A localization incident.
It frustrated a lot of people when they kept posting random fanart but kept quiet on what was happening with the game in Europe.
Yeah, and that's what I'd want changed. Persona 5 is a potentially huge project in multiple ways (not to mention all of the others they've got going on), and if they could coordinate a global initiative instead of focusing on Japan because "that's where the audience is", I think they could do great(er) things.
What a lovely thing to see after coming back from the theater and watching Frozen.
Missed the convo by a bit considering I was passed out, but the whole "Naoto shoots down Kanji" thing and that scene, if you pick the other option as the MC there like the exact opposite happens and she doesn't shoot him down, so, um, yeah...
Not to mention both of their "issues" really kind of play off of each other. In the idea that a relationship really is helped by both people understanding each other, I'd say it has a fair shot.

He fervently denounces that he even likes the character, but the facts don't lie...
...Jesus what in the hell am I talking about. Can we please hear a Persona 5 announcement so that I don't chew my eyeballs out?

That's really wonderful-- I just went to see Frozen this afternoon and loved it! Superb work, Dantis!

Definitely.
Perhaps, but she's also constantly dismissed as a character because she's not canon or reduced to irrelevancy because she's just a "cheerier Makoto." I'm sorry, but I think people are being... myopic.
Don't you worry, she gets plenty of love!

she probably gets dismissed because she came later *shrug*
I thought Persona 4 Golden sold more in the West(US + Europe) than it did in Japan, overall. Do they translate the EU version into languages other than English(the localization company I mean).
I didn't hear that the western sales did better than the sales in Japan; only number I'm really aware of is the 700k shipped worldwide. I also don't know if P4G was released in any other language in Europe, however I doubt it.

chairs.
People piss and moan about the story elements of P4A, but I honestly think you might actually have to be an idiot to not acknowledge it's competence/quality as a fighting game.
It's a good game. I can't really recall seeing that debated.

I feel that a nice supple oak would go nicely with the Fool Arcana, while a zesty mahogany piece would be the best representative of the Magician.
This poster's math is where I got the figures from, I thought they were part of the OP at first. I have no idea if his figures are correct but they don't seem unlikely to me at all, considering Golden's opening sales in Japan were 137k.
300k Japan, 400k in the West. Atlus, feed your fans in the scary place across the sea.

Huh, I actually had both of those at some point (PC version of Kitchen)

They included shipped and digital numbers in that figure. P4G only did around 100k at retail in the US, the game did really well on PSN but i don't think it doubled its retail sales. The game probably did aight in euro but afaik it was only released in english speaking countries and i doubt it over 100k combined in those reigons.
