Good Guy Armada! Sad I couldn't hang with you guys last year, it was a trip with my dad mostly. This year though I'll make sure to meet up with you guys!
Also Levito, if you guys do a pre-Evo podcast let me know if you want me on to talk about any of the Capcom games or anything!

WHAT!!!!! (spitting out watermelon)
Have the prices been announced yet?Also, if anyone needs a roomie to split the cost of a hotel room. I'm game.(PM me)
EVO is July 11-13, there are even discounted Hotels for the event. Those will probably go quick though.
Dude, you're right beside Nevada! PRetty srue my flight lands in LA, then heads to Vegas even.
Bah, family! If there's one thing we should learn from Persona, it's that being around other people sucks and is for losers.
Yeah,
I was actually surprised by how interesting Namatame turned out. For someone who initially appears to just be insane, the fact that he thought he was doing the right thing really adds depth to it.

I mean, if Yu had had no friends and no one had believed him,
it's not hard to see how he might've wound up as desperate as Namatame.

PersonaGAF should level up their academics.
(If you haven't beaten Persona 4 don't read below)
Yu, Adachi, and Namatame are all parallels of each other, really. Yu is the one that embraces opening up to others, Adachi is the one that rejects it, and Namatame is the result of what happens when you have it, then lose it.
Why did I Google that at work?

(P4 ending spoilers go awaaaay)
This, incidentally, is part of the reason why I'm not a huuuge fan of P4's True End. I feel like the True End makes it less interesting, because instead of presenting these three people with different approaches to the concepts of S.Link and how that shapes them into good or bad people, it was just an evil goddess behind it all. Sure Adachi was already crazy, but Izanami was the one who really enabled him. I suppose the original story had Ameno-sagiri, but his place was more vague, and I kind of assumed he just sort of attached himself to Adachi once stuff started happening.
My other main problem with the True End is that I feel like it doesn't really add that much to the story. The plot twist is basically "It wasn't this person who wanted to do this thing, it was this other person who wanted to do exactly the same thing!". It's not really that interesting to me because it doesn't add much, Izanami basically says the same things as Ameno-sagiri. Not to mention that by that point there've been so many "This guy was the real killer all along!" twists.

Currently on my phone, I'll b post them when I get on my computer. MrWizard posted them in FGW a week or two ago.

Will definitely take you up on that.
That face never ceases to amuse.

Awesome! More than happy to lend any knowledge about Capcom fighting games (or even Smash, to a relative extent) and Evo that I can!

The new season of Jackass, featuring Mysterious Fox and Junpei Iori!

Both actually.
END GAME DISCUSSION; DO NOT READ
That was my problem, as well. Sure, there's the theme of Izanagi vs Izanami going on, but it just wasn't that satisfying. The fact that they reveal the gas station attendant to be the villain a hundred hours after interacting with her wasn't all that gripping, either. They needed to explain why the protagonist could just enter the tv all of a sudden, but I wished they would've reordered the events so that Adachi was still the final boss. Get the Izanami stuff out of the way to establish that bit of backstory, and then continue onto Adachi as the main villain, swapping out Ameno-Sagiri with his persona regressing back to a shadow ready to consume him, or even turn HIM into the shadow. It would have fit back in with the idea of Adachi wanting the world to be consumed, while also showing what happens when that wish is granted. Depending on how they handled it, it'd also make the excuse that everyone's personae regressed in Arena a bit more believable.

Not bad at all, thanks!!
Yeah that's it, sooooooooo good.

Yay! Got it! sooooooooo good indeed.
We were actually talking about that earlier, and I was saying that it probably would have been a lot better if they recast Yu and Makoto, assuming they would've only been able to pitch their voices up or down otherwise. They're the characters with the least amount of personality established by their voices, so they'd be the easiest to change, as opposed to Adachi or Yosuke. I thought Lucien Dodge would make a good replacement Makoto, but a few guys thought that wouldn't have been necessary.
Maybe it's just a minority opinion, but it's really bothering to me to hear two main characters in the same work clearly be voiced by the same person. They're always going to have something characteristically their voice (kinda like a vocal fingerprint). Johnny Yong Bosch was cast as Adachi first and just given Yu's lines as an afterthought. Chances are that Lowenthal was cast as Pharos and (late game P3 spoilers)
Ryoji/Nyx
What bothers me most though is when a different actor has to fill in for someone else's performance without re-recording the other lines. Hearing (December spoilers in P4)
Namatame go between sounding like two different people who sound nothing alike was really off putting in Golden. You don't need to know who the people behind the voices are to notice that.

Yeah, they're pretty good! And luckily for me, since I'm in California, I don't have to worry about flights, but I know a lot of people who are going or who want to go are stuck with that trouble

I actually like airplanes, so taking trips to the airport doesn't bother me.

The only thing I can fault on the P3 soundtrack is the lyrics to Massive Destruction, very silly stuff. Silly In a good way I suppose.
Uh yeah! Dadadada Dadadada~
Baby baby! Dadadada Dadadada~
Uh yeah! Dadadada Dadadada~
Baby baby! Dadadada Dadow~ was the best part
Also Heartful Cry is probably my favorite track in the entire Persona series. Such an amazing soundtrack overall.
