Could be worse. Like those of us who bought the vanilla version back in '08
Nice
With that said, how about playing some P4A tonight? Just agree on an hour and let's try to be there at that time.

I've been trying to sell a share of P4A for $2.50 for weeks now and no one in here's bit.
How does that even work?!
You log in with the account info, download the game, then log back into your normal account and play it.
Cool idea. I'd be down for it, but weekly is way too often (For me, at least). I'd participate in it now and again though.
Like I say, cool idea. Might be interesting if you make it more like a scenario? So "Akihiko dressed as 'x'' or 'Akihiko doing 'x''.

Why don't any of the characters in Persona 4 celebrate their birthdays? I mean, if the MegaTen Wiki is right, they do have birthdays. Some of them you miss completely (Rise and Naoto's, Kanji's is missed in the original version), but I feel Yosuke at least would be the kind of guy who would make a big deal of his own birthday. Maybe that's just me.
The birthdays were only added in the Persona 4 Fan Book, I believe, but they've since been considered canonical.
As for why they're not in Golden, it's anybody's guess.
Can I join too? I don't draw that often anymore, but I guess a little sketch per week (or whatever interval it may happen) won't hurt.
I just noticed that too. The only birthday ever happened in the game was for the Tower SLink kid. I hope in P5 we get to celebrate MC and his/her friends' birthdays. If they do, I hope it takes up all evening or doesn't take any time at all (like Elizabeth dates) so it won't mess up my schedule.
lol I also bought it recently. Oh well.

Ah, if they weren't decided originally then that makes sense.
I'm guessing they just didn't want to tinker with the S.Link timing anymore than they already did.
Is the fan book different from the Design Works? Because they're in the Design Works.
Fucking nailed it.
He must be or have one hell of a programmer then.
Oh snap!
I wonder if he's up to the challenge. Apparently Satan himself came up with the game's code.
Now that is a brave challenge. Hope he goes for it.
$20 says the kid has no clue that's even an issue.
It's just one thar's been suggested is all. He's not done with type 0 yet.
Oh yeah, I got that. He'll probably settle on something else, anyway. The effort involved in doing EP is probably work most people would need to be paid to do and I think that's fair.

I kind of agree with this. Maybe if the dude was a fan of Persona, the work could be less arduous cuz...well you are a fan, but if you aren't, maybe its not worth trying, yeah? Worth going for something more people would appreciate and wouldn't take as much of a monumental effort. Because as much as I want it,and would appreciate it, I am one of a few, there are plenty of games out there that I think more people are looking forward to having translated and maybe the code is easier.
The coding is the kicker for me. If it was just a straight up translation then fine, but anyone who does EP has to do that and fix a programming hack job. That's a taller order than what I would consider fair for something that's ultimately going to be free.

Isn't most of it translated already?

If he wants to go through with it, maybe the dude should take donations, but EPP is such a niche game, I doubt that would even cover it
When I described Igor as "Lynchian mystery" I was thinking the "Lady in the Radiator" kind.
For the most part. They just have to do Tatsuya's scenario and whatever else they added.

P2 or Type-0? Cuz Type-0's patch is in beta testing atm.

Should I play Persona 1 and 2 because I can deal with old school gameplay
Then yes, you should. P2 has a great story and cast, and P1 is also pretty good (not far enough in to really comment
).

There's already people working on it:

I think he was talking about EP, which is true. The PS1 translation is a bit clunky and would need some name changes, but would be perfectly fine for dumping into a hypothetical EPP translation.

We'd just need to update the Lunarvaleisms and... all... those... ellipses... mostly.
Translate this for the less knowledgeable amongst us?
Although it's just not the same without the English VA from the PS1 game. Whoop-ass completed!
He's talking about Case Closed (as the show was called in the west), but I don't know what the reference would be myself.
CC is awesome. Haven't seen it in years.

A long running adventure show about a young detective.
I meant more specifically what the intro was based upon.

Dragon's Crown is p-cool.
It's just the stock description phrase for the main character in Detective Conan, since he's a kid detective

Naoto wishes she could be half the detective that Kyoko is mang.
The thing they are talking about is technically a spoiler but it's so incredibly painfully disgustingly obvious the impact on your experience is negligible.

I guessed it right within like 15 minutes of meeting her.
