Well, I think Edogawa is describing meditation as a form of magic and prayer as a form of meditation, yes? I haven't played that part in P3 for a while.
I should check out this lectures in P4G. The TV bonus features are a nice touch.Well, I think Edogawa is describing meditation as a form of magic and prayer as a form of meditation, yes? I haven't played that part in P3 for a while.
He is, yes, but by extension if meditation is magic and prayer is meditation then prayer is magic. Which kinda threw me for a loop, is all.

The series is known for really strong characters, and a kind of slow to start narrative. The best advice anyone can probably give is give the game a chance to grow on you before tossing it out. P4 is even worse than P3 was in this regard, as you have a good 3-4 hours of exposition at the beginning of the game(including a tutorial dungeon) before you're given any real free time to do what you want. Once that opens up, and provided you like the idea of managing your time(and don't get caught up in "OMG MUST DO EVERYTHING FIRST PLAY THROUGH"), you should have fun with it.
Thanks for the advice , i think that my problem is that im a fan of the SMT main games, so the combat in persona kinda puts me off .
I'm taking my time with Tropical Freeze, partly because the game is whooping my ass! The OST is so bloody good.
I finished it tonight. The world 5 boss is stupendous.
If P5 gets released in the west this year I would be very very VERY surprised.
WELL THEN I GUESS DONKEY KONG WILL BE MY GAME OF THE YEAR WON'T IT?
Sounds like a challenge.
Just going to clarify that when I say Tropical Freeze will be my GoTY, I'm obviously basing it on games already announced or released.
You'll have to ask Volcynika. He's doing the OT.
Ban this man.

I bet Persona 5 will be released on November 15th, 2014!
I only have $0.11 in my Steam wallet tho so I can't really bet you.
You mean the 3D models mapped onto 2D sprites and tremendous level variety?
Your words are as empty as your soul. Mankind ill needs a saviour such as you.
For real. DKC2 had a different gimmick on each stage. Some of them were bloody wonderful too.
Likewise, Tropical Freeze does this too.

I have a question which velvet room attendent do you guy's like better Elizabeth or Margret
I don't care for either of their personalities, but Margaret has an amazing design, whereas Elizabeth's is kiiiiiiinda crap.

I prefer Large Marge because her general demeanor makes her funny moments even funnier.
Theo is the true best Velvet Room attendant, though
Plus, she was the more forgiving boss -_-;

Elizabeth has way more personality but Margaret has a much better design. Elizabeth I guess because there's just more to her character.

It's a tough one, I prefer Elizabeths look (dat sexy short hair and hat), but I really like Margret's personality more, she has the female dominance aura thing going on about her.
But I never really got too involved or crazy about either to be honest.

I like Margaret more than Elizabeth because Margaret was there to snark with me about Marie.
Theo is the best, though.
You're kiiiiiiinda crap.
Iwakura's waifu has been discovered.

For whatever reason, I chose Elizabeth rather than Theo on P3P, so I've never actually met him in the game.

I would say that I like Margret more, mostly because of her design. She doesn't have as much personality compared to Elizabeth, but still like her.
Though if you want my favorite person from the Velvet Room it would be this guy
Like his design from the first I saw him ingame.
You played through it way too quickly! Now you'll continue the cycle of hating your Wii U until X!

While Margaret's design is really good I though her personality was a little bland compared to Elizabeth who's far superior especially in Arena
That's my opinion tho
That's my opinion tho
Someone once made an observation that on the UK TV show Skins, the teens (the main cast) are played straight while the adults exist in this sort of hyper reality. I notice a lot of stories about similar subject matter are like that and that makes sense, since I think that's how teens often view their parents and teachers. Persona is no different.
Edit: Margaret is S-rank waifu.

Yeah but that doesn't count because it's just Kaneko.
I actually came to a similar conclusion while going for a walk a few days ago (god I'm a geek). It's definitely pretty common in "child's eye" stories. Even stuff like Peanuts and Calvin and Hobbes, although that's obviously portraying younger kids.

It probably should be anyways
The "1 More!" system and the push system(or whatever SMT calls it) isn't that much different, it's just that there aren't "sides" in terms of turns, where enemy goes then you go, etc. Both reward hitting weaknesses, though 1 More is inherently easier as it doesn't really punish you for hitting a strength(which it should).
Of course, Persona games are just easier than SMT to begin with much because of that, and Persona 4 is probably the easier of the modern personas(with Persona 4 Golden being the only one even easier). Then again, I always play RPGs for story and characters, and there's a reason why I find myself able to have little difficulty beating a Persona game and have never beaten an SMT one(spoiler: It has nothing to do with difficulty)...
So far, that doesn't sound like a bad choice.

That's not even the best Dangan Ronpa game coming out this year, let alone the best game.
Impossible since the sequel comes out the same year.
One of my least favorite things on GAF are when people say that a game is going to be their GOTY before they've even played it.

I'm almost done with 999 and dreading starting VLR because then I finish that and have to wait around depressed with everyone else. D:
