Finally.
Should have listened to Acid and me and gone with Elly v(｡-_-｡
vThe mall should sell weapons, but it's been a while since I played P1.
Company culture is definitely different between the east and west. Iwata wouldn't be allowed to fuck up the way he is right now in a million years in the states.

Don't give me that. We're here because of Okada. Full stop. While people were making fantasy RPGs, he spearheaded games with occult, mature, modernist settings that most devs wouldn't dream of touching. Show some respect.

They only sell guns, though, that's the problem.

Tell me about it. Im so not looking forward to Nintendo's awful lackluster game reveals at E3. "New Super mario 9034334" ; "New Zelda 3ds", "Cooking game" etc.
I wonder if Iwata knows how to use the internet?
Crazy thing is, I love Nintendo, and wish them all the success in the world. But they really need to get their act together. The 180 that MS did with the Xboxone should be a massive inspiration to them.
Casino and releasing Personas as far as I remember.

Conversely, I don't have much love for Nintendo, but I respect Iwata. He's done what has worked for years. Only now, it's not working anymore, and he doesn't know how to react.
Oh
I guess I didn't notice because I stopped caring about melee weapons early on. All you need are guns + Persona.
(guns in particular are insanely powerful if you've been pumping points into DEX)
I'd totally watch it if this is real. I think it would attract other Persona fans who only played P3 and P4 with its story.
According to Megaten wiki, yes he did.
Yeah, this. Didn't use melee at all, just guns and magikz.
They'd have a P4A and PQ anime before they had a P2 anime, though.

I dont get how a multi billlion dollar company doesn't know how to react. If their research team searched the internet for consumer feedback, and monitored what Sony and MS were doing to be successful, they would know exactly what to focus on.
Its not just Nintendo though, look at Capcom, Konami, Sqaure, etc. (Although, a recent Square interview does indicate that they finally "get it"......hopefully)
It feels as if Nintendo just cover both of their ears and say lalalalallalal, to any form of feedback.

Again, pride. Iwata's the guy who said something to the effect of 'he'd leave before letting Nintendo games being on other platforms'.
Whale feathers and bad poetry everywhere.
A P4A anime would be amazing if executed properly. P4A easily lends itself to an episodic format too, so there's no need to worry about pacing.
If they continue doing Persona anime series after the final Persona 3 movie, P4A is probably the most likely one to adapt next. The question that would follow would be whether they'd just adapt the first game, or adapt both of them.

Fair enough on his stance for Nintendo games, but what about things such as their network. AOL 56k from 10 years ago works better than the wii/wiiu online.
Nintendo are consistently trying to capture that casual market, even though they've gone to tablets/smart phones.
Noone knows what a Wiiu is. They're only focusing on Mario, Zelda and Donkey kong. Some may say the other franchises are not as profitable, which may be true. But, what other choice do they have? They have no 3rd party support, and you can't keep releasing the same games over and over again.
I dunno, i find myself questioning everything Nintendo does. Usually, im left shaking my head.
Im still trying to figure out why they are releasing Smash Brothers on the 3DS at the sametime as the Wiiu. Surely, from a business perspective, they would be better off delaying the 3DS version for a while to draw people to the Wiiu (Like Titanfall did).
And damn, im still waiting for SMTXFE.

No, weapon stores in P1 only sell guns. Swords/axes/bows/gloves/etc only come from treasure, enemy encounters or the casino.
Sometimes dude, I just don't know...
Detailed Gematsu article about the roles the Velvet Room people will have in PQ.
I have a feeling that Marie and Elizabeth are two characters that wouldn't get along with each other.
I have a feeling that Marie and Elizabeth are two characters that wouldn't get along with each other.
Kyle Bosman made the perfect metaphor for Nintendo's action: the company is a bumbling elephant that does its own thing, regardless of the idiocy. They are also the student who have a ton of potential, and will occasionally get the best grade on an exam, but will mostly slack off.
*eyes do a barrel roll*
Elizabeth looks adorable and lol at Theo. Can't wait to see if Margaret and Marie have any special roles.
Hopefully it involves Elizabeth trolling the hell out of Marie.
Also woot for everyone visiting the Velvet Room again!

Great. Hopefully they can harness their animosity and take each other out for good.
On the other hand, they could be two characters that become the best of friends by rallying around their complete ignorance concerning how the real world works while Margaret just wants to die.
Perhaps we'll learn more about them next week, since I think it's safe to say that Elizabeth and Theodore are going to be the characters getting PQ trailers this week. I think.

Also where's this disrespect towards Okada coming from? You kids aughta mind your elders.

Is that animosity toward Elizabeth I hear?
She sounds too much like Hedonism Bot.
It freaks me out.
"I apologize for nothing."
I'd like to remind everyone that the Persona reveal event a few months ago was one of the greatest video game tease and announcement campaigns of all time.
I am never going to forget that night. It was so awesome.

I've never been the same since...that night...
One if the all-time greats as far as reveals go. Oh man.

What an incredible event-- just reading through the pastebin from IRC, I feel confident in declaring ATLUS the Master Troll. XD
It was so much fun being there with you all when all of these games were announced, especially Persona 5. I'll never forget it.

I wish I could have been there with all of you back then. We could always do the same for Persona 6~
I'll never forget how insanely butthurt all the people who irrationally hate the 3DS got when they revealed PQ.
After all the debates that were had the week leading up to the event, there was literally nothing that could have been more perfect.
But that abrupt turn when the P5 trailer started... Man, I've never felt/seen/experienced anything like it. We all went from the darkest depths to the highest highs.
