I have no interest in game sharing and, from the prices I've seen, importing/buying a Japanese PSN card to get the digital version of a game on Japanese PSN is always equal or even more than importing a physical copy.

How much do the respective outlets charge for shipping and/or release-day delivery? I have to admit that I haven't looked too deeply into it, but I get the impression for the couple of fighting game launches I've been selling import shares for (BBCP, Love Max) that getting preorder copies late happens all the time.
Getting digital copies from the HK PSN store is more of a direct substitute for the JP PSN store, anyway. 500 HKD from the site I buy codes at is $73, and retail games are ~470 HKD, which leaves a bit left over. In comparison, buying 8000 yen is something like $90-100 and leaves a bigger chunk left as waste.
I don't think I worded that right.
Don't deride Atlus for not doing something you wanted them to do, especially if it's completely unreasonable?
I just think it's a kind of arrogant to indulge in that kind of behavior. Hoping for something and demanding something are 2 very different things.
Yep. Figured this was what you meant.

In terms of games, I've imported P4A, BBCT and BBCP and I always got them on day 1 (and, in P4A's case, it might have even been a day early). That's not something I'm worried about. Looking at Play-Asia prices:
- Persona 4 Arena Ultimax (SE) physical import w/ FedEx shipping = $95.44 CAD
- PSN 3k JPY card (~$42.58 CAD) + PSN 5k JPY card (~$65.51 CAD) = $108.09 CAD
And it's not just Play-Asia, but everywhere else I had checked before. It's not cheaper for me, or even more convenient. I haven't checked the HKD prices, though, but I don't know if they'd be much better.
Edit: Play-Asia lists the $500 HKD card at $78.62 CAD, which would be better than the other options, but I'm not aware if there's anything special regarding an HK PSN account compared to just a standard JPN account. I'll look into it, since, yeah, that would be more convenient and less expensive.

I don't recall anyone demanding anything--mostly just "shoulds." Which isn't unreasonable, that's all I consider criticism to be--shoulds. Should have done this, should have done that. That's completely harmless.
I think my point is that I don't like to see someone told to not voice their opinions on something as silly as videogames. Even if their opinion is dumb, worthless, arrogant, whatever.
Oh my god, I love this. This is absolute fire.
This is the kind of quality the P4D mixes need to be. Amazing.
Um, Persona 5 at E3 wouldn't stop fighting game talk within our community. Nor would it stop anime talk, art talk, movie talk or whatever else.
It would stop it for a little bit. I love all the other talk. Just not fighting game talk.

I uploaded five tracks from PQ, including Laser Beam, the game's boss battle theme.
The P5 plot predictions basically go nowhere though, so personally I don't find those too interesting.
The past pages have been about import sites, views on spoilers, and PQ anyways, haha.
unfortunately that last one is the only one on the playlist that is actually kind of good.
Edit: the memories of you mix is okay as well

Yeah I guess your right. PQ stuff is pretty interesting also. Light the fire up in the night is so good.
lolololololol
The story pisses me off though. I want to read it, but I also don't want to buy the new game and go through every character again. I bought arena and played through it all to get the story and it got so boring after awhile. Half the p4 cast were living the same story haha. I just thought Arena was gonna be a one time thing you know. The only fighting games I like are the smash bros games. I just can't be bothered to memorize all the button combos and practice to get good at it.
Huh? Why would you have to do that if you already played P4A's story?
And the complaint is also kind of weird, seeing how you can lower the difficulty for story mode and literally go through it just by mashing A.

Damn rip
Also I miss your Seth Killian avatar, how am I going to recognize you
As a fighting game nut, I definitely have to agree with you there. P4A was a big step in actually getting me into the Persona series, and although I don't play it much now, and kind of hate some stuff about it, I love P4A. And you don't realyl have to memorize all the combos, you can just hit AAAAAAA at least for story mode. Of course, for any online play, then yeah, you're going to need to practice, but that's just how it goes.
I wasn't putting my foot down and banning people from voicing their opinions. By all means, if you think Atlus is in the wrong for not doing what you want, then feel free to say it, I just think it's a pointless endeavor.
Sorry if I wasn't clear.

Todd, you do know that they are changing it around for Ultimax. With each game having a story that is theirs.
Doesn't the new game have a new story? Also I wasn't complaining about story difficulty. I played on normal. I'm good enough to beat the computer on normal settings. I just mean competitively. Like I lose all interest in a fighting game after I beat story because I don't want to dedicate myself to the game so I can compete online.
You mean each character will have a distinct story?
No. The story will be split by factions, instead of characters, with four story modes total.
No, there's two story modes: Persona 3 and Persona 4. Not gonna be much repetition.

No, more of from what we have heard, in that each game (P3 and P4) will have their own story. Compared to last time where each character had their own story.
So is it two or four haha? How did this never come up in all the ultimax discussions I read here. I'm far more interested now if it won't have the same boring repetition.
http://p-atlus.jp/p4u2/story/
That's how the story is divided. And, I see, but then why can't you just ignore the competitive aspect while just appreciating the story aspect of the game?
I guess all I'm trying to wonder is the point of expressing dislike about certain topics of discussion here. There are several that don't appeal to me, but I can just ignore them.
Yes.
well when you ignore the ultimax posts, you are going to miss things.
Also i don't think we know what the other 2 stories are yet.
EDIT: oh it's a DLC story of the original. so is the last one "DLC character" story?
It's four, but two are DLC (
Adachi
It came up a lot actually. We were discussing it some time back, especially Flux.
And there's four story modes: P3, P4, a seemingly unannounced one (

Those are the ones that are known as of yet.
Oh wow, I hadn't considered that. Now I might actually have a reason to go through Episode P4U.
