Yeah that was one of Soejima's original ideas. Apparently most of the team didn't want the glasses at first but he fought for them and got them in the game.

So does that mean the more incidental characters like King Moron and the gas station attendant are already taken care of, or are you more just worried about the main characters?

I've got them covered, unless someone here really wants to play one of 'em (which is completely and totally okay).

Christ, I completely forgot about her. I'll have to see if I can get my ladyfriend to record her four or so lines real quick >_>

P4G is way easier than SMTIV. It is funny cuz some SMT fans are a little sour on SMTIV for being too easy, SMT3 Nocturne and SMT Strange Journey are much harder.

SMTIV is unbalanced. Soul Hackers, SJ, and Nocturne all stay consistently difficult. IV goes from really tough to kinda difficult to an absolute joke.
I'm of the opinion that it would have been more consistently hard if they had capped the stats. I should not being able to one-shot all of the game's bosses with a sufficiently powerful demon. (Though one could say it was my fault for making him in the first place.)

This is Kazzy we're talking about, she always has more of a reason than that...

Dude. SMT4 one wrong move and you're dead. Like the entire game. I was level 80 and level 15 monsters could still ruin my team if they got the jump on me. I've never played so unforgiving a game.
Ah, well, it was all the more reason I needed.
So I'm almost to the
Beauty Pagaent
But probably I will pick Hanako because you'd have to be fucking crazy not to choose an option as obviously hilarious as that.
I am excited for it.

Then stay away from SMT 3 Nocturne and SMT Strange Journey at all costs!!!

They shouldn't have made bosses so susceptible to weaknesses. Or had more of them use stuff like Dekunda and Dekaja. That's what made Nocturne's vicious. Dekunda, Dekaja, die.
SMT IV gets really easy for random encounters once you start getting demons and stuff from Tokyo. Once I got Blight on my main character everything just flatlined instantly.
I'm just really used to FF games where Terra can kill Literal God Kefka in a single turn.
I need to extract Corvo's tears in order to power my kawaii dynamo.
He must play it.
(And I must finish it. >___>
I found it really odd that they hardly used debuffs after a certain point, aside from the Fiends, (which were the only significantly challenging non-DLC enemies.)
I think I should point out that the band scene in the game really cemented how well the characters in this game reflect my own circle of friends as a kid.
I have these two friends who remind me of Chie and Yukiko so much, and the funny thing is the one who remind me of Chie played Trumpet and the one who reminds me of Yukiko played the sax.
Personally I'm somewhere between Yosuke and Ayane. Especially the sucking at Trombone part.

Enduring Soul > Endure. Revive with full hp after death.
Yeah that's the ability I meant.
I never even bothered with physical. Playing the magical odds in favor of gaining more turns was where it was at.
You guys, I'm starting to realize that I was basically a gender bent Ayane as I was growing up. Funny how things happen when you don't get to play the flute in band. I mean, sure the trombone is great and all, but ya gotta follow your heart's calling sometimes, and it's a bummer when you can't.
So, what would be the best way to get involved in this sort of thing? I have a bit of computer knowledge from when I thought I might major in computer engineering a while ago and have some experience editing things in a professional setting (not for translated stuff), but what do you think might be the best way to get one's feet wet with this stuff? Could Iwakura Productions use another hand?

I've spent the last thirty minutes trying to fuse the Bishamonten I want in P3P. Thirty minutes. To get four skills on him at the same time. Mindlessly pressing O and X until I hit gold. I see no end in sight. I'd say about five or six hours of my total playtime of this run of P3P has been spent shuffling skills. If this were P4G, I'd have finished already and be half-way done this block of Tartarus.
Whoever misses this, you are actually crazy.

Totally agree. I think there was someone in here saying that the cancel and redo fusion stuff was part of the fun. FUCK NO IT ISN'T.
Trombone is king, man. Don't let those trumpet playing egomaniacs drag you down.

I thought I missed it. I started playing The Answer again. I no longer miss it.
Random skills were a stupid waste of time.
Well, sort of, yes.
If you can't dispel your own delusion how do you plan to tackle the master of Illusion?

Seriously. After playing SMTIV, it's going to be slightly painful going back.
That being said, the one thing I do miss from the old fusion system is the experimental feel of sticking together two demons and seeing what you get instead of selecting from a list of fuseable demons. But that's a pretty minor thing.
- The portrait of the character in question has approximately the same dimensions as all of the other P4A vs. character portraits.
- Aforementioned portrait is deliberately facing left. This wouldn't mean much, except for the fact that every single P4A character vs. portrait is facing left in official art.
- I believe the only P4A character portraits that are looking in a very specific direction are vs. character portraits, with very few exceptions (the only ones in the story I can think of are Mitsuru who has a tendency to look at the character she is talking to).
- The portrait in question is extremely detailed for a character that wouldn't be playable. Neither Rise, Fuuka or General Teddiethe original P4A NPCshave portraits like that.
- If the character is supposed to be important to P4A2's story, it's not as though the character being playable would be out of place.
- It'd be rather odd to tease an NPC at the end of a preview trailer for a fighting game like that, wouldn't it?
The only real point that would go against the character not being playable is that their sprite was already revealed and didn't lend one to believe that the character would be playable.
I'd say the wheel of fortune is on your side for the moment, but who wins if the character gets added to the arcade version before the console release?
I can't finish SMT 3. I got stuck at Matador.
Stupid skeleton..
We all do. It's a right of passage.
Buff and debuff like a madman.

Though seriosuly just use buffs and debuffs along with a proper team that work against his physicals and spells and you will do fine. You don't wanna leave yourself open to weakneses that he can exploit easily.

Ok, I will get on this (Eventually) but if anyone wants to go for these roles before I get them done, They're free too.
