Ah crap I forgot about her.
Wait.
Go to the hot springs with Rise or spend the day with depressing old lady.
...
Yeah I probably made the right choice.

Yeah around that point in the anime, he starts to get really, really random (and funny)
Death was actually one of my favorite Social Links in the whole game. That one hit SUPER close to home for me. I wasn't expecting it, and somewhere around rank 7 is just nailed me in the heart.
Well, it's pretty obvious this is New Game + for him, so I assume he just doesn't give a shit. He's like "Yes, Kanji, I know. Now let's talk about her massive bazookas."
I'll try to do it, still have plenty of time. I just always forget since it's only on holidays.
Speaking of which, getting to the ends of Dojima's and Nanako's links. Aaaall aboard the feels train.
The part
where Nanako "dies" completely murdered me. I have a sister that's not that much younger than Nanako so it hit way too close to home.
EDIT: Also, I just maxed Rise's link and it made me realize... I have no idea what her Persona evolution does. I mean, the fighters change their weaknesses up, but she doesn't fight. Anyone know?
Is Nanako just the most heart meltingly precious child in an RPG ever or what?
Level 3 Rise Persona fully exposes enemy weakness and strengths at the beginning of a fight. I don't recall what level 2 does.

Well she's one of like two likable child characters in games.
Aaah, so it affects scanning. That makes sense. When do the 3rd evolutions show up?

You can do Rank 11 Social Links

They'll talk to you at a certain point
after New Year's, when you get back to school is when you get the earliest chance of them talking to you.
Rise's awakened Persona will automatically detect a single weakness for a random enemy. Her rank 3 Persona outright tells you the weaknesses and resistances for all of the enemies on the field.
DUDE.
I've never heard this song. Thanks for posting it!
Hello and welcome!
Oh my.
One of the most out of character things in the dub, in my opinion.
I'm 19, an university student and enjoy Persona a lot.
I'll translate because sure:
The Japanese Persona Twitter account has always been surprisingly good about listening to fans' concerns when Atlus has gone through some turbulence, so I'm not entirely surprised to see Hashino write something up in the wake of the news about Atlus' name being properly restored, but it's still nice to see regardless.

I'm 25 and love the series. Though I was younger than 22 when I first played Persona 4.
I would say the average age on here is probably around 22 or over but I don't think age has anything to do with it!

23. But I only enjoyed P3 and P4 so far in the Persona/SMT series
Shit I thought you're 40 or something with the way you talking about how old you are etc lol
Back in his day, Mark danced crazy and he liked it!
...
And then Mark danced crazy again in the PSP version and we liked it!

I'm gonna Nemesis the crap out of you.
Or at least I would if I weren't sick with this gorram fever >8(
It was shocking, but the game does say Yu has vulgar convos once or twice.

Yep, I never even thought of it being out of character...

I'm 23, and I adore the Persona franchise (3/4 at least). They are extremely well-made game, so age shouldn't have a factor on one's enjoyment.
I'm 22, bordering on 23 and I adore the shit out of this series.

I only started playing Persona this year at 24 years old, and I think I enjoyed it more now than I probably would have if I was still in highschool.

I read an article somewhere about how it allows you to sort of 're-live a fantasy' of your school years, or something like that, it was an interesting read.
Embrace the age of droopyballs and zimmers!

I'm 18 going 19 in March
Will be 34 on Sunday, I'm old.
Persona is a weird beast in that(4 especially), sometimes people who can't stand jrpgs have no problem getting through them. Been gaming my whole life(first RPG was Final Fantasy on the NES), and Atlus to me is probably as good as Squaresoft was way way back when. Oh the mighty have fallen. The king is dead, long live the king.

24 here. I actually assumed most Persona fans were college age or older. Maybe it's a biased observation based on the people I usually interact with, though.

Pretty safe assumption when you think that the game originally came out in 2008. Though Golden could of brought in some younger people.

Dat letter. The feels man, the feels. It really sounds like they're coming out of a tough time, which is fantastic. Not that they were in a bad situation, but that they feel confident enough to say that they're on the mend.
This line gives me the most confidence for P5. Not that I didn't have it, it's just good to have reassurance that their heads are in the right place.

I'm going to be 29 in April, and I started with Persona in 2012, so yes.
Also-- Welcome arue! Can't wait to see your art, and I think you'll be right at home here!

27 here, out of the university for 6 years. Started playing the series in 2011~, love it. Would probably love it back then, too.

I'm still older. ;P
It does seem like the gaming side generally skews more to the college age to mid 20s range, but I suppose that's true of most video game forums. Most of the older posters seem to mainly congregate in OT and OT Community and generally avoid gaming these days.
I also find it interesting that there's not a lot of posters here who frequented the P3 and P4 JP and US OTs when they came out. Then again, many of those posters likely aren't even aware this thread exists.
Speaking of ages, today is my birthday!
Not being a teenager anymore and studying at a college, it doesn't get more mature than this. Persona 5 is nothing compared to me!
Anyway that letter from Hashino really solidifies why Atlus is one of my favorite developers. Not many people could write something like that and make me believe it.

I broke down for several minutes during that scene.
At the beginning of last month, just a week before I started playing P4 for the first time, my younger brother passed away. So when I saw that scene in the hospital?
Really, given the subject matter of the game P4 was simultaneously the best/worst game to play during that time. It hit way too close to home during a lot of scenes/social links, but that made it resonate all the more.
Happy Birthday!!!
