Yumi does get extra points for making you feel like a piece of crap for not romancing her.
Should be interesting to see how much the will grow with Persona 5.
I'm think winter of next year is the longest we'd have to wait. It kinda depends on if there really is a P3 rerelease coming, I suppose. I could see them waiting until that releases before giving us P5.

Hey, Nozomi was pretty good.
Kenji's S.link was a trainwreck from the beginning, though.

Poor poor Rio who is like ramen

What about the localization delay? Since SMT 4 took just under 2 months... and this is Persona... maybe we can get it within 2 months of JPN release! Perhaps beating the time to localize P3/4.

Haven't played P3P so I have no idea what you guys mean.
Maybe it's for the best. =.=
Spoilers for Rio's social link.
At one point, Kenji compares her to his love of ramen. The rest of the female club team was spying them. Hilarity ensures.
Just the fucking worst.
Right there with you. They're almost certainly working on it in some fashion as we speak, I think. I wouldn't be surprised if they even outright confirm it for the west next week. I almost expect it. Like I said, I'm not convinced Atlus' execs from JP dropped the US branch for a simple visit. I think they came for a briefing and this live stream stuff fits that perfectly.

Haha, Kenji is so awful.
At least he was good in that one scene where he does stand up with Minato.
Rio's social link had the odd problem of making him worse. He's going after a woman he has no chance with and she's head over heels in love with him! Gosh!
Indeed. I'd find it very hard to believe that an overseas trip would be made for anything other than arranging something like this.
There's really no accounting for bad taste. Rio could do much better.
Like FeMC
Forget Ai, Yosuke, Fukka, Ken, Gourmet King or all of those small fry.
Kenji is the absolute worst and I defy anyone to contest this claim.
Make this happen, ATLUS The icy rose needs sweet nectar.

I'm missing sth important here... What is this visit to the US branch? And when was this?
Kanji is my favorite character alongside Teddie.
Persona 3 was a year after it came out for Japan.
Persona 4 was half a year from Japans release.
They seem to be getting faster and faster.
If I hadn't caught my mistake we would probably having the weirdest argument.

Releasing a fan translation to the public after working on it for a year is pretty great.
(Hopefully more than 80 people play this one.)

P4 S.links
Strength(Kou & Daisuke):
-TWICE as many S.link scenes.
-Extremely fun from beginning to end.
-Does a good job at simulating what it's like to be on a sports team.
-Yu's friendship with Kou/Daisuke is genuinely great, arguably even better than some of the members of the investigation team (lol)
Hierophant(Dojima):
-You get to hang out with Dojima, enough said
-It makes you feel like your actually his son
-You appreciate Dojima more after he puts in the effort to change
-The events around the home are the best
-Dat rank 10
-UNLIMITED COFFEE WOO
Tower (Shu)
-Shu goes through a great growth in character.
-It genuinely makes you feel sympathy for Shu. Poor kid got saddled with the worst arcana
-The birthday event was great
-The s.link ending is sweet, albeit a little sad
Temperance
-Eri is a fantastic character. I initially wrote her off as a boring mom, but she actually has some depth.
-The game does a great job at making you feel sorry for her
-You really earn that happy ending. The way you encourage her feels genuine.
-Yuuta's still a bitch tho
(Massive P4 spoilers)
Jester
-Adachi-baby's social link sheds some light on his character. He puts on a happy go lucky facade, but if you pay attention you can a bit of his true nature. He's jaded and pessimistic, and totally ungrateful of the people around him.
-His S.link, while short lived is pretty fun and varied.
-DAT RANK 8. One of the best dam scenes in the entire game. Adachi's speech gave me chills.
-SOCIAL LINK WITH THE MAIN KILLER, WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED
-His social links make the confrontation / his defeat scenes soooo much better.

I'll do P3's later.
Completely unbelievable. I defy you to find a guy like Kenji who would pass up someone like Rio for a teacher he has 0 chance of landing. He doesn't even have a heavy fetish for older chicks (given the comment he makes about Yukari and Mitsuri) so his actions are completely unfounded and illogical.
His social link had the potential to be amazing (ie: he has a crush on a girl near his age range, and you have to help him cope with the fact he won't win her over). But instead they went with a stupid route, and his entire character is unbelievable and stupid as a result.
Their PR manager John Hardin (atlusprime on GAF) tweeted a pic of a P3M poster a short while ago and said "Japan HQ [was] visiting".
We talked about it then and I thought if was strange they'd have employees coming over here with so much going on in Japan right now. My theory is they came because whatever they had to say, they didn't want to do it over a conference call. I think they came to brief them on something.
Now that the livestream stuff is happening, I think they came to tell them about that.

*claps*
Atlus closing down, Persona 5 cancelled.
I didn't mean to imply Yosuke is a bad character. I just don't like him. There's a difference!

I wouldn't necessarily read that much into it. Where I work we get corporate bigwigs flying in from HQ for site visits every so often, it's more of a "Hey! We realize you exist!" sort of thing than a sign of any big news.
GamingBird

If it was localization... Couldn't Japan hq just Skype them? Like why must there be a personal visit? What could it mean?
Everything's better in FeMC route, that's #truthfact.
Also you overlooking Kenji trying to hit the teacher is not because he want to find love anyway, he just trying to be "cool" like he some hot shit dating older women, that's inline with how he make comment to Yukari/Mitsuru, popular figure in the school.
Rio? She have no friend at her club at some point.
Nah, that's childhood friend syndrome, sometime you just think your friend just as like your sister so you won't even consider the possibility.

Uh. The first and last image ARE from a design book: Soejima's. They're not fan creations at all.

That first image is Soejima's.
I was about to say #5 looks frighteningly authentic.
Dat Plagiarism.
Also I would like to point out that we have made over 500 posts in the past 24 hours. Dayum,
Yamato, Sakura... Dylan. All traditional Japanese names.
That explains the quality.
Yup. I don't know what the context of the last image is from, but the first one is from a mystery novel in Japan.
The remaining four images are amateur mockups that neither look like the real thing nor look like Atlus's own placeholder mockups. They're not even in the same style or train of thought as how Atlus does their menus. Really poor effort on the part of the creator.
Ugly font and everything blending into a green mess on my screen too!
Our thirst is real.
Just imagine how fast this'll move once the announcement actually comes!
I wouldn't say poor effort so much as a superficial understanding of what ATLUS's design philosophy is. Ugly color aside, it's fairly proficient compared to someone like me who can't manage much more than hatchet jobs like this:
It'll be interesting to see how quickly this OT goes. We're going to be at the 1/8th mark by the end of tomorrow. Philemon knows what'll happen after Sunday.
Lime lamp poles everywhere!

Sup PersonaGAF, hows it going?
Nice to see that all the news has got everyone hyped, no one has made any stupid avatar bets yet have they?
What did I miss out it the latter half of the 2nd OT? I kinda dipped out. Was anything interesting/funny posted?
Also, besides Persona what has everyone been playing? I've been catching up with the Ace Attorney Series and Pokemon X.

Yeah and you are number 2 poster in this thread.
Funniest thing I remember was probably all those Tartarus Theater strips. Those're pretty great.
I think Caladrious started a bet, didn't he? Obviously we need more.
I've been playing King's Field 4 and Guacamelee, and I also just got the beta key for Planetary Annihilation.
That'll be nearly 5 am for me, so I can't participate, but thanks for the gesture!
Absolutely! I didn't mean to imply otherwise.
The hype is real yo.
Long time no see!
The only notable thing that happened is that we talked a bit about Persona 3's development toward the end of the thread. It was nice. I need to get back to Y soon.
I do like to talk a lot when I'm in good company.
We appreciate it. I think we might go completely insane otherwise.
