Can you really name a time when anime wasn't to blame for all society's ills? This is like, in the Bible, man.
I mean, you guys are definitely right here, I just think the way I mentioned it being this time around is funny.
Because original, a only voiced a few lines. Then tried to fill in the blanks, and it failed... hard. P4G actually has quite a bit of inconsistent voice acting, but the actors do a good job at masking it. Most of the time anyway.
If we're on the subject of pachislot machines, I actually really like the theme song Meguro composed for Persona 3's. Pretty sure it's the only one I've ever heard come out of those things that I don't intrinsically hate or find aggressively annoying and let me tell you, as someone who's both lived near a lot of pachinko machines and played too many of them in the Yakuza games, that's a hell of a miracle. Meguro really does do the lord's work when it comes to writing acceptable music for his games.
What the hell.
Edit: I mean, I've never heard of this until now. That's pretty good, heh.
Wow, it's in Japanese. How unexpected. Catchy as fuck.
Wh-why is Shinji being attacked by a giant 5. D:
But yeah, that's pretty good. Actually sounds more 4 than 3 to me. Lack of horns.
Now you got me listening to A Lone Prayer again. That song is really catchy. I need to go back to P1P, got distracted by 4.
Also, apparently anime is to blame for Japan's declining birth rate.

This is the only time I've ever felt the voice acting was noticeably bad. Like, it is really bad. A sounds classy, refined, and slightly seductive. B is a raspy old woman, like if Igor was trying to talk sexy.
Hello PersonaGAF! I had been a lurker here since the Persona announcement back in November and finally decided to make an account. My favorite Persona game is P3P and I only know about P4 from a Let's Play (not the Giant Bomb Endurance Run one though) because I don't have a PS2 or a Vita...
I am currently playing P3FES and P2:IS, but for some reason I haven't been motivated to continue P2:IS (the enemy encounter rate is too high!)
Anyway, nice to meet you all!

Woo! Welcome!
As far as IS goes, combat'll be over really fast if you set animations to skip and figure out a powerful fusion spell that'll hit all enemies.

hello and welcome. welcome to kenta and mara adventure trailer.
maia gets estoma to weaken the encounter rate iirc.

I understand, P2 is a far cry from P4 and P3 in terms of gameplay.
I applaud you for even trying the classic Persona games even though you already know what P3 is like, most people don't even bother with P1 or P2.
Only problem with that is that IS is so easy you might not be higher level than most enemies. It is super handy in EP though.

Welcome to the group!
Thanks guys! I have been using fusion spells for every encounter and I like how they 1HKO the demons, but I just don't like walking 5 steps and boom! demon encounter.
I think I have a bad luck with estoma because I tried to evolve Pixie into Budai early in the game and I just gave up after 2 hours of grinding with no evolve :|

These days I think it is more wise to try other games closer to mainline, like Soul Hackers, Digital Devil Saga, or even mainline itself, like Nocturne, Strange Journey or SMTIV, than to jump straight from P3/4 to P1/2. Those games will ease you into P1/2.
I really wish Atlus would have made a proper remake, it is a shame that people cant stomach the gameplay to experience my favorite Persona story and characters
Welcome new guy or girl!

and yes, I would like a remake for P1 and P2 but I don't think that will happen anytime soon.I tried Strange Journey and I loved it so much, it's not as difficult as other people said. I prefer playing that than P2:IS actually.
I think the reason why I like SJ is because I am used to the battle and demon fusion from DeSu2 (another one of my favorites). I wish I have PS2 again because I want to play Nocturne and DDS. I also want a 3DS because I really want to play SMTIV and Soul Hackers too.

The song is actually pretty good, got an addictive rhythm to it. Though yeah a pachinko machine must be pretty noisy, because after hearing a Part 1 and part 2 of the P3 Pachinko demo. I can understand why you would say it would drive you nuts being next to a pachinko parlor. Hear like what over a 100 of these machines all doing the same thing would drive anyone insane.

Joining PersonaGAF was pretty terrible for my wallet because I realized I had to buy all the SMT games.
I haven't played SJ, but most battle and demon fusing stuff in SMT is closer to that than the Persona games.

It's all good, but make sure to at least look at a lets play or read up on the story!
SJ is a great game, and Soul Hackers is kind of what all these modern Shin Megami Tensei games are based on. Persona 2 Innocent Sin and Persona 2 Eternal Punishment are clunky and sort of lacking in gameplay compared to all those, but man the story, its so good.
"Being a college student = no money + no time for games = no fun
"Dont I know it.
BTW if you crave more Persona 3 and 4, maybe you should try out Persona 4 Arena on PS3 or 360, the fighting game.
You just don't understand our maturity.

No one will understand the growth of a chair from leaving high school and breaking the chains to became an Adult chair and go to college to get a degree in chairology. No one will ever understand the maturity of it. EVER.

It is gritty and mature yo
Actually, my friend gave me her copy of P4A a week after it launched. She was interested with all the hype with Persona 4, but she ended up not liking it because she thought the VN style was too boring for her. Obviously, it was because she never heard of Persona until P4A.
I ended playing P4A for the story because I'm not good with fighters at all. Labyrs' story was the best though, followed by Elizabeth. P4A spoiler
because she's going to bring Minato/Makoto back <3

Wait I have these topics confused

Me too, in the vein of P3/4. Fat chance that's happening.
As for college, drop out, that's what I did. Now I get to play all the vidja games I want. Worked for Steve Jobs also.
Joking, stay in school kids.

To be fair, I think the writing is a little bit of a step down from P3 and P4, due to the excessive inner monologue, but I still enjoyed it, looking forward to P4A2!
Thats dark and deep yo.

That thing was the weirdest thing in Soul Hackers, and then they brought it back in SMTIV lol.
Soul Hackers has such a bizarre selection of demons. "Oh look an undead drag queen in a frozen warehouse. Of course."

Talking Personas and 5 person parties should make a return for P5. I also want rival persona users(STREGA was wack, I want more normal people, would be cool if they attended the same school).

The Masquerade/The Masked Circle in P2 was baller as hell son.
Don't really care, yes, and yes. I find the immersion break where your entire party runs up all mad at the final boss and then you go into battle and four dudes are fighting while everyone else stands around picking their nose annoying. Rival Persona users would definitely be really cool also.

a freezer is the ultimate crossdressing zone. teddie knows. his affinity is ice.
I still like the Combattler V one they did back in 2012. Even if it is playing on nostalgia.
Still kinda cool to see Meguro did some pachislot music.
Five person parties should be a staple. :<
If you want some more background on Labyrs's story I would suggest listing to the Persona 3 character drama Moonlight
(with eng subs)

This goes into detail how Labyrs actually
met the little girl in her memories for the first time.
I like you already.
"Hey... Big bro... Are you going to leave me behind...? I'll be a good girl. So don't go...I don't want you to go...Big bro..."
Many feels were had. ;_;
How about this:
she fails miserably at her quest and ends up sacrificing herself similarly to how he did in order to save the world again in P4A2
