In 999 I liked everyone except the antagonist, to a point.
They mega ruined Clover. Awful. And don't get me started on how they ruined a certain somebody else.
Akane was a really great character. Loved the interactions with her and Junpei.
She even does some singing in Golden!
Laura is a gem. A bad actress could've made Rise terrible.

How can you dislike K? He's the most gentlemanly of all the gentlemen!

Everything in that post is true, including the part where I said that none of it was related to Persona.
It's a shame you don't play Fire Emblem, at least, the older ones that is. I can't remember if you ended up playing Awakening or not. Wasn't as much of a fan of Awakening's style, though.
Man, I need to play that game. Just waiting on 999 for iOS.

Pretty much, yeah. They removed all of the puzzles and the new format means that some of the best twists don't have as much of an impact.
Not got an original DS? Because 999 is stunning.
Everyone talks about how great VLR is, but I thought 999 was a lot better. Probably the best actual plot in any videogame I've ever played.
I've played Awakening, but that's all. Some of the designs are good.
She's still canon to me, dammit!
I had this was an avatar for a while. Probably the second longest I've stuck with one, the longest being Persona Cat.
No, I traded in my DS and PSP years ago. Neither served me well.
I think you guys are being flippant. When it came out on iOS in Japan people said it was fine, even if the twists were softened as Scrafty said. It'll be fine, for my purposes.

My sister absolutely hates Akane.
And Phi.
She doesn't like the mysterious Zero Escape female characters apparently.
Hell fucking yeah it is.
I keep saying it, it makes the best damn use of the dual screens. Ever.
CLEARLY.
I don't, because you linked a load of sites that don't allow linking.
I'm still unsure how I feel about Alice.

She liked Luna.
To be fair, I like most all of the 999/VLR characters. They're all real damn good.
Laura is the reason Nozomi is my favorite girl in SMT4.
CLEARLY.

Fucking Creative Uncut.
Wait, works for me. Weird.
EDIT: I really should get one of those "right click to upload" things.
Yeah, Awakening's style is very different from the rest of the series. It's a lot more stylized and uses more anime motifs in proportions and outfits. The older Fire Emblems tend to have a more grounded character design; it's drawn like an anime but the outfits tend to be more practical and functional and even the more fanservicey stuff is pretty tame compared to Awakening's. I personally prefer the pre-Awakening designs but there's some stuff I like in the new stuff (shirtless fighters <3).
Think you'd like Senri Kita, she did the art for Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn

999 is not as good as Ever 17 anyway.
Why would you play the cliffnotes version? Just buy a copy if you have a 3DS.
Doesnt work for me. That IS weird.
Either way, I looked up some of the characters based on the names in the links. It's cool art. Micaiah would totally work as a Persona character.
Doesn't really matter that I haven't played it. I'll draw anything that looks cool or interesting. Any time you have a suggestion, hit me, man!
Kozaki's an amazing artist, but his stuff's pretty out there. The only designs in Awakening I really, really like off the top of my head are Chrom's and Lucina's.

I'm pretty surprised I have the Zero Escape Series Community Thread bookmarked.
I gotta say, when the second screen in Nintendo handhelds has almost exclusively been used for item management and/or map screens from day one, that's not saying that much.
The only handheld I own right now is the Vita.
Everyone likes Luna tho.... :S
I still want to know if Persona Q is going to make use of Etrian Odyssey style mappings or not. A lot of information in the trailers is crammed up in the top screen so they're clearly doing something with it.

You say that like that stuff isn't inherently useful.
I'm dying to know this too. On one hand, I love the map drawing in EO. On the other hand, I can see it not being used here and I don't think it would be so bad if they didn't.
We haven;t seen much gameplay though either. I don;t think we've seen a single dungeon screen. Just battles and cutscenes.
Not the most creative uses, but certainly the most useful.
Eh. It's useful. I don't know, I guess it always felt like a waste of potential to me. I feel like Nintendo has perfected the art of introducing a gimmick, but it's their brands and the purity of their game design that keeps people coming back. No one really gives two shits about a second screen, motion controls, or 3D.
But I should say I also just don't mind pulling up menus on a single screen, myself. It's useful as you say, I was just never bothered and I'm still not.

On the touch screen you can feed treats to your party members and pat them on the head. It's a new system called SLink-amie.
Weirdly, Nintendo has been the best at finding creative, non gimmicky ways to use all of those things, from touch screens to motion controls, and even 3D somehow.
The second screen has been used for a variety of things, not just map/inventory. Particularly in Nintendo games. Third parties just relegated it to that because of ports/development restrictions.

That would be included in my comment about their game design. I give them props, but they don't make the only games on their platforms.
The doublescreen won me over for some useful stuff like maps (not necessary, but nice to have), and some more innovative uses, but I couldn't care less about some of the more "shallow" gimmicks, like 3D and motion (why press a button when you can have a miniature seizure!). Touch screen is okay because I like Trauma Center and Etrian Odyssey.
Also, I really need to play 999. There's a ton of DS games I missed that I want to play, but especially 999 and Phoenix Wright.

But, but... how will you play Persona Q?
PQ is the one game of the four I don't really care about. Levito is the same way with P4D.

I remember getting stuck in Radiant Historia and then never picking it up again.
Maybe I should remedy that.

Fix that now. One of the finest titles on the DS.
Everything about this post is good. Take your sister to a therapist, since something is wrong with her tastes.

I really liked Phi, Karen did a great job as her. Loved her deadpan, snarky, and annoyed responses to all the characters.
I would say try Solatorobo if you're looking for a something off the beaten path. And can find it for a decent price.

For god's sake people I have enough of a backlog as it is!
Although I do kinda want to get a Pokeman, I haven't played one since... Sapphire?
It was made by key members of the Persona team, if I remember correctly. Although, they collaborated with Tri-Ace, so that held it back.

Play X or Y or it isn't worth it.
