Aye. Now imagine if a mainline Persona wound up on 3DS. :/
It's a 3DS, what do you expect?
Man, could you imagine a mainline persona with low poly characters that had bad facial animations?
Boy, I couldn't!
Heheheh. I probably shouldn't have opened that can of worms.
Let's just say I want the series to progress visually, especially after seeing Catherine. 3DS is a roadblock to that. But hey, Persona Q works. They're doing a decent job given the 3DS's horsepower.
Yeah, I agree that the 3DS would be a step back from Catherine, but I think they could do something a step above P4 (albeit, a slight one.) Trust me, I didn't want the next Persona on the 3DS as much the next guy.
I think this comes down to art direction/Atlus being cheap-ass Atlus. The 3DS, while not a powerhouse by anyone's standards, can do much better. Kid Icarus, Luigi's Mansion, and plenty of other games have full facial animations of characters in-game, so it's definitely doable.
But yeah this is a stupid fucking argument and I never should have stirred the pot either. These conversations happened last year. I'll move on.
I absolutely doubt it.
3DS games are slightly above PSP. P3P looked like complete arse in the 3D bits.
I would rather they not move their mouths, I guess?
Well, from what I saw on videos(screw you region lock) of SMT IV it looks good.
Its more artistic choice here and Im in HUGE minority of people who hate it
I probably shouldn't have brought up the mainline stuff. I don't think anyone has to worry about any future mainline games being on 3DS at this point, so it seems kinda silly to bring it up.
Eh, 3DS can do significantly better visuals than PSP, thanks in part to its shaders and such. Just look at RE: Revelations as an example of what you can do on 3DS... with the right budget/talent working on the game.
I think PQ's visuals are more down to Atlus' limited budget for this game. Best to just suck it up and get used to it; the art-style isn't growing on me too much but I'm kinda looking forward to it.
We'll all forget about PQ's visual flaws when we see P5 anyway. That's the one we're hoping will look excellent in HD.
Just watched the Junpei trailer. God, he's great. I love that he gets the silly glasses.
As for the Yukari trailer, I think it's interesting that the game delves, to some degree, into the characters' own feelings about their original game's mission. Yukari discusses doubts about the Dark Hour, for example. I don't think they'll spend too much time on it, since all of that is obviously resolved in the original games, but it's interesting that the dialogue touches on it.

New Persona Q trailers were pretty cute.
Man, with all the trailers that game is getting, you'd figure it be coming out much sooner than the summer.
Thank you so much for doing this!

I've perhaps seen four or five natives in my time that were actually my height. So I don't envy Kanji being so tall in that society.
I've seen plenty of people that are at least that height, in and around Tokyo. It's never struck me as being a particularly rare occurrence.
I wonder why they felt the need to go with two P3 characters though. I almost think you'd have to have Fuuka and Rise together thematically, but then it'd break the order, even if this way of doing it this way rushed Fuuka to next in line. Unless of course they're skipping over Kanji for some reason.
At any rate, those trailers were great. Can see where pepsi is saying to be cautious I guess in that Yukari is looking at the IT and seeing them as great friends, while SEES just kind of work together. I'd LOVE for that to be an actual insight a character has in that game.
I also totally forgot that a lot of 4's cast is female, so I should've known hi-jinks would ensue with Junpei on the scene. That line to Yukari about Yukiko really gives me a lot of faith in the project.
That height graph is always depressing. The only male Persona character I'm taller than is Ken. Still, same size as Lisa and Ulala, so not all bad news.
Might be because there are more P3 related characters than there are P4 ones and they wanted it to eventually balance out. If so, it should be P3/P4 every Friday from now since there are 6 characters of each left, unless they mix it up again.
Some of my favorite translated games (Ace Attorney, Ghost Trick & Mother 3) follow that school of thought to a T. Those games were translated with English speaking players in mind, and they usually end changing quite a bit of content to accommodate English speaking players as a result. It's something I really appreciate. A good translation should go beyond replacing a few jokes here and there too; cultural context needs to be considered too, speaking styles, tone... all of these things are considered when translating a game, and i'm fascinated by that. Going back to Phoenix Wright again, the translation team for those games really go above and beyond in accommodating their English speaking players. When I play Ace Attorney, i'm not playing as Naruhodou Ryuuichi, but as Phoenix Wright GOSH DARNIT!!!
Translations are usually something I sometimes take for granted, so it's nice to get a perspective from someone who's actually in the field. What you said about losing "the soul" of a game between translations really struck a chord with me.
Soon. ;_;
I understand if fan translation always leaning to more literal approach..
They're "easier" and for amateur expecting them take some smart decision in liberal translation is way too much.
And being a fan that translating for fan, just too many thing that not gonna sit right for them to converting jokes/line that they actually like.

Please don't. I would actually like to carry-on playing the main Persona series.

All I know is everyone would be salty to some degree.
Kingdom Hearts 3D facial animation is just fine in cutscenes.
Blame budget and/or chibi style.
maybe after PD they will port it, who knows?
Probably has as much chance as EO getting ported to the Vita.

*sigh*
Bit off more than I could chew in Tartarus and lost like an hour of progress. Do Elizabeth's requests for the Old Documents have due dates? I can't remember.

Im not sure about that, because Pesrona fanbase is already at Vita and it much safer to port it than EO.
What else do you need beside P4D?
Yeah, there's actually a fairly small crop of Vita exclusives that interest me, but I don't really mind because there's also enough good indie, PSP, and PS1 games I haven't played on it to amuse me for a long time.
EO also just... wouldn't work on Vita. The map, remember. That being said, I wouldn't hold your breath for a PQ Vita port. Could happen, but I think it's kind of unlikely.
You're a review for a survival horror website, right? I guess DanganRonpa could be considered horror when I think about it.
Anyway, hope you enjoy my game of the year last year.
Vita has allot of games planned for this year. Its really hard to set priorities what to buy first
yeah, I remember that map thing. And I really havent much hopes for that, just dreaming
Vita screen is so good. I have weird issues with the 3D on my 3DS XL screen, it's harder to find that sweet spot. Pretty annoying for a game like Zelda that I played entirely in 3D.
Even if EO has zero chance of getting ported and Persona Q is 10 times more likely, 0x10 is still 0. It won't be ported anywhere.
The Wii U has next to no games coming out in the next 6 months. None of them are Ron Paul either!
It's cool PQ is a 3DS game though, was just mentioning the Vita is such a glorious device.
It's close enough to the point where I can review it, at least.
A lot of the UI in DanganRonpa is very similar to P4, at least the contrasting colors are.

Upupupupu~
I played that certain game in Japanese for the first time a few months ago and I'm very curious to see how NISA went about translating one of the references in particular. While I wasn't all that keen on how the fan patch translated much of the game from what I saw after I beat that original version, there was one very brazen late game reference to that certain series that I thought they handled quite beautifully. Would love to see what they "official" take on that dialog turned out to be; easily one of my favorite comedy bits in a thoroughly morbidly funny game.
I'm obviously very late on responding to this, but, did you ever see Orenronen's translation of it? I honestly thought it was really good, and yeah, interested to see how the localization will turn out.
Honestly, I think the only titles I'm excited to play for Vita in the next six or seven months are Danganronpa and Project Diva f. I mean, that still looks good compared to a grand total of zero for WiiU and I'm still getting a lot out of my Vita, but I think the only other big release for it I can think of at the moment is Toukiden, which I've played the demo of and was not fond of. But I'm probably in the minority there.
That said I know there's a couple Kickstarted games that I was interested in that have Vita ports coming there way, but I'm not really sure when they'll wind up coming around.
EDIT: Just saw the Junpei and Yukari trailers. Was laughing for a good chunk of Junpei's. Yukari hitting him, lol.

I'm just not interested in really any of those titles, but like I said, 3DS has the same damn problem.
For me it's like... Gravity Rush 2 and then P4D... if that even hits this year. The system just isn't getting marquee titles, and lord knows Sony isn't giving it much more first party support.
I play all my indie games on PC right now.
I'm a Nintendo doofus, so I can at least think of five first party games I'm excited for on the Wii U. It's not much, but it's something. 3DS, however, is weirdly silent.
Same, that's why I bought it. I'll probably check out the older Persona games when I get the chance.

That's pretty big exaggeration.
Well they do have first-party games to look forward to in the distant future.
And Bayonetta 2.
If you don't like Nintendo games, there's nothing for you. But if you do, you've got DKC, Mario Kart, Smash, Bayonetta, and maaaaaybe X coming out this year. Zelda Dynasty Warriors is going to be hot garbage, so I'm not counting it. There are most likely unannounced games for the second half of the year.
This is a persona community thread, so it's not surprising that most of the people in here are huge RPG fans, which Nintendo's consoles have never been big on, especially the Wii U. Of course you're not going to see many games on the system.
I, on the other hand, am not actually a huge JRPG guy. Persona might be my favorite game ever, but it's a strange exception to the rule. I'm actually mainly a PC gamer.
I love Nintendo games and the 3DS has been doing me extremely well for those.
Smash is the only game there I'm interested in besides Bayo. I hate DKC games, MK is take it or leave it. If there was a Wii U Animal Crossing I'd go buy one right now.
You're not interested in X?
YES MATE THANKS FOR THE INSIDER KNOWLEDGE.
DKC should have an amazing soundtrack at least.
Don't even know what it is!
Sophia pity the fool that isn't interested in Monolith Soft's new title, for they are heathens on the world!
Trailer #1. Trailer #2.
Whaaaaaa? Super Nintendo was fucking ACE when it came to the RPG genre!
Not really interested in Nintendo's games anymore myself, at least not things like Mario Kart. Bayonetta 2 looks flippin' fantastic though.
That looks pretty cool! But also not like something that would sell me a system. Animal Crossing on the other hand....
If this is not something that will sell you on a system off a bunch of teasers alone, then you need to hand in your RPG and nerd badges right this instant! :|
As an aside, I am suddenly hyped for the potential of Persona 3 FES via remote play now....
*hands in badges*
