I love the titles in P4A, makes me laugh when I face someone with a super serious title and I'm running with Accidental Horse Death.

I'd like to think I made this happen with my superfluous threats of needless violence.
Thank you, Mike Meeker. I am forever in your debt.

I get more of Susie Derkins from Calvin and Hobbes than Chie. I think it's the haircut.

Well this isn't the first time that SMT has referenced a Stephen King work.
SMT II does it in the form of Chris the Car, a reference to Stephen King's Christine.
Mio is from Chet's original manga that was created back in 2007....
She's from K-On, given as Chet is a regular poster in K-On GAF!

I thought I was the only one to draw that comparison.
I don't think that's SK's final form though, it seems a little too subdued. Really hyped for the final episode.

Sure, but there's also the fact that SK looks so similar to
the robe Izanami wears during the final boss battle in P4.
It probably wasn't an intentional reference to P4, but it'd be pretty sweet if it was.

I've said it before, but make sure EVERYONE (Including you) dies at some point. Analyse every enemy you come across and make sure each character gets knock downs of different numbers. Rise has a lot of lines so keep mixing things up and you'll get it. I got the trophy maybe halfway through NG+
I think this tweet says the time the next PSC episode will air at, but I'm not sure what it says.
Looks like it's airing at Midnight JST, or 11am EDT today.
That's what I had initially thought based on "March 27 @ 24:00", but that'd mean it would be in about an hour. Heh, that'd be pretty short notice (especially since they haven't displayed it on the site) and I can't see a link for episode 2. Maybe it wouldn't be live this time around or something, but I wouldn't expect that.
ok thanks for the tips!
I'm gonna guess it's tomorrow because 24:00 is possibly an extension for thursday's time. I've seen stuff like this before, very confusing.
This would be my assumption also.
Yeah, that's what I thought it would be in the end as well, so it's the most likely guess. Friday makes more sense than Thursday for the show, anyways.
Which I guess means that the Kanji and Koromaru PQ videos might not happen this week.
My prediction a while back was mostly PQ with a bit of P4AU in March and quite a bit of P4AU media in April along with the regular amount of PQ. I'll stick with it, and say that the P4AU stuff will start beginning with the Taito tournament finals this Saturday.
They might continue to do those weekly PQ character videos after the first set is done since there are those individual second character videos on the website page, as well.
Finished FES last night. Took me well over 100 hrs. This game consumed my life for the last 2 weeks. The story turned out to be pretty cliche, but it was well told. The best part by far were the characters.
The battle system ended up being pretty deep, if not a little frustrating. Nothing sucks more than wasting a few hrs grinding in Tartarus only to meet the Reaper for the first time or some other enemy who would knock your MC character down and destroy your whole party. Sadly, that happened more than a few times. The Persona system was cool, even if it started out being a little confusing, and ended up being a lot of trial and error.
I finished most of the S-Links. The only ones I didn't finish were the girls', besides Mitsuru. I didn't wanna cheat on her. Other than Mitsuru, my favorite links were
.
I'm so glad I finally decided to jump into this series. Everyone who recommended this game to me as a starting point were correct. It's now one of my favorite games ever. I'm debating whether I should start Persona 4 Golden right away, or play something else in between. Should I even bother with the Answer?

Too much anime creeping into PersonaGAF
Glad you enjoyed it.
In regards to The Answer: It's a pretty hard post-game thing. It helps you understand Persona 3's ending a bit better, if you wanted more clarity, and you get to see how the characters deal with the aftermath of that ending. I thought it was pretty good
when I watched the videos of it on YouTube AND THERE'S NO SHAME IN THAT
As for P4G, really, if you're craving more Persona then jump right in. Personally I'd play something else in-between to kinda cleanse the palette, but that's just because I find the Persona games to be massive time investments, and to do 200+ hours of the same gameplay is too big an ask for me, even if P3 and P4 are two of my favourite games ever made.

That's what I did and I didn't regret it one bit. Of course, on playing P3, I ended up taking a two week vacation without being able to touch P3 once partway through (which simply increased my cravings for it) and then coming back, and powering through P3 and P4 on the rest of my summer vacation.

So what are the odds that Persona Q will also get a Vita release?
I'm not port begging, I'm honestly wondering. Seems like the Persona fan base is mostly there

I think the chances are higher of PQ being ported than any other currently announced or released Persona game (Except maybe P5?).
On the other hand, the chances still aren't that high.
I would think the chances are extremely low, especially considering the map drawing elements.
Thanks, I didn't even think of watching the Answer on YT. I thought the Journey was pretty complete as is.
Yeah, I think I'm gonna play something completely different before jumping into P4G, since by all accounts that game is even better. Most likely Bayonetta or Tomb Raider DE.

Oh yeah I forgot about that. I want to play it but I don't want to buy a 3DS again. Guess I'll pass on it.

You draw lines etc with the screen below, drag premade icons etc like these:
Still can't believe they haven't released any images of Persona 5 T-T, guess they just wanna hype Q as much as they can first.
The "map" is a grid, and the places you explore are all grid based. You move a square, the square gets colored in, then you can draw lines for the borders of the square(if you're in a corridor, for example). There's also like 50 icons you can put that you can use for anything you want to, warp tiles, damage floors, one way/two way shortcuts, etc(can also change the coloring of the floor square by square if you want to further denote something, like ice floors). The better your maps, the easier time you'll have going back to the same dungeon if you have to(and you almost always have to).
Basically, whenever you're in a dungeon, you'll NEED a second screen to always show the map. A vita version can only work I guess if they cut the screen in half, but with no stylus, meh.
Perfect, the above last image is how it'd look on your 3DS, with the top screen and the FOE first person dungeon crawl, with the bottom being the full map.

arena has a much higher chance of getting a Vita port than PQ does.
You could probably take map drawing out of any hypothetical Vita release and just use the automapping feature. I know a lot of you are nostalgic for the old RPGs where you drew your maps on paper and shit, but I for one wouldn't care. Map drawing is the first thing I switch off the second I get Persona Q.
That said, the game probably isn't coming to Vita. Nintendo seem reasonably keen to keep it on 3DS, what with the Persona Q console design, while Atlus seem interested in expanding Persona to other audiences. The hardcore fans, on the most part, will buy a 3DS for the game if they don't already have one, so it makes no sense to dilute sales of the 3DS version by porting it to Vita when they can have all the Persona fans + Nintendo-only users on the one platform.
If the game bombs I suppose they could port it to Vita since that system has a proven audience of Persona fans, but is that really going to happen?

We've entered a time warp in general with the "More Persona 5 tidbits thread" and the "SMTxFE vaporware?" threads. We'll have a "LTTP: Persona 4 Golden" coming up soon going at this rate.
The magazine dates back to November 2013. It was translated via Pepsiman in February and even reported via Siliconera.

What's going on with p-ch?
When I try to enter it, I get a white screen with this message: "failed db connections."
I'm guessing that today is a maintanence day for the site. If I'm wrong, please correct me.

Was shocked to see that Siliconera article sourced Pepsiman, not too long ago he ranted at them for not citing sources and such.

Yeah, I read that a few days ago. I just wanted to make sure if I was correct or not. Thank you for the help.
