Looks like the DLC character shares a supers with Yu.

So on P-CH, it says that the PQ OST from HMV Japan comes with a bonus disc with three outtake tracks on it, but the HMV site doesn't mention it. Anyone know why?
Also, P-CH is now themed around Ultimax, which presumably means that they're wrapping up on PQ coverage. COME ON, P4D!

That doesn't look like a super, if you look at the background you'll see that there's no spotlights or anything like all other supers, and it also appears to be burstable (look at the top right corner). Looks like Adachi may have some hopped-up specials, then.

I've personally seen that user make stuff up before, so you should probably take anything they say with a grain of salt. And that particular piece of info sounds dubious as hell (i'm pretty sure we would have heard something by now. MagusKen definitely would have told us about it.)

Limited stock, first come first served. I wouldn't be surprised if they left it out
And the English side of these sites tends to get updated later than the JP. So it might be there in a few days.

I don't know whether to order it or not. If I get the bonus disc, it will be worthwhile. If I don't, it won't.
Haha, so apparently this new Final Fantasy game has Aegis as the Knight(?) and Yukari as the White Mage class.
I wonder if the similarity is intentional?

Well do you want the OST?
A 3 track disc can't really be the deciding decision. You will probably get it if you're quick enough, depends how much stock they have.
fuck, I got it from cdjapan
Expect to see them on yahoo auctions or ebay, I wouldn't worry that much.

I say go for it.

Those artworks are from the DS remake of Final Fantasy III though.
I'm getting the CD either way (I buy all the Persona CDs). I just mean I don't know whether to order it from HMV. It's cheaper elsewhere because of HMV's pricey shipping costs.

That is true, I tend to avoid HMV whenever possible.
If you really want the 3 track bonus disc then go for it. Otherwise cheaper is better.

Just going to leave this here 'cos it's pretty neat.
I never made the connection at all, infact this is the very first I've heard of it.

I wonder when we'll get some info about
on the US version. Since it'll be available at a later date in Japan, I wonder if it's going to be a preorder bonus for the US and if you don't preorder the game, it'll be on PSN on release day for a fee.
YES! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!

Everything is canon. Except FemC of course.
But what would this mean for my Makoto and Naoto shipping fan fiction?!??
Also, love your new avatar, Dave. Kei is one of Kaneko's best designs.

Those are recycled class designs, from FFIII DS, I believe. Akihiko Yoshida drew those years ago.

You made a fanfic for that?
I'm wanna make a doujinshi involving a love triangle between Rise, Marie, and Yu. wanna draw?
I'm kidding if someone else wants to make the whole thing though that'll be great.

Yeah, they are great.
Sadly I've never played the game, but the designs are gorgeous.
P.S incest is a-okay

Oh boy I love characters who share supers zzzzzzzzz
I'm kidding!
It's actually a fan comic, telling the story of a young woman's strange, erotic journey from Milan to Minsk.
Maken Shao is on PSN. I enjoyed it a fair amount, personally.

So John Hardin is saying that PQ should take 100+ hours to clear in its entirety, 60 hours for the first route, 40 for the second on a normal difficulty.
If this turns out to be true its no wonder that the english release is apart from the japanese one, that's a lot of content to localise.

It's not a super.
Speaking of Kaneko, I'm curious how PersonaGAF would feel if Atlus dropped his classic demon designs for P5? Persona 3 & 4 just used the Nocturne and DDS assets with a few additions, but they are now starting from scratch again with P5. This would be their one big chance to really try something bold like that.
Personally I've become pretty attached to most of the old designs, but I do think it would be pretty interesting to see some of the classic SMT designs reimagined by someone like Soejima.

Ah OK. That makes it better. They haven't shown the IK yet have they?

Not so far as I am aware, also notice only 3 cards? Tells me they aren't that persona reliant.

Huh? You asking me to pick between the game or film? well i'd pick the game ofc. I assume you mean the game is canon right?
Hey I finally figured out how to make my keyboard put out Japanese!

Unfortunately I don't know what I'm typing.
I would be sincerely disappointed. Persona has always felt like an aspect of Megaten and I feel like it'd be a giant "screw you" to its origins by taking it out.

The classic demons always felt out of place in Persona 3 and 4 due to their significantly different design approach to me. I wouldn't mind dropping them for 5.
However, if that means that we get something like SMT4, I'm against it. And considering that Soejima can't redesign every demon in the series, this is most likely what would happen.
I'd be fine if they dropped them. The old designs have their charm, but why not do something new?
It's kinda problematic that that's how you would read an evolution like that - as a "screw you".
Not just you specifically. I'm sure others feel the same and that kind of thinking will hold the series back and constrain Atlus' creativity.
I'd be fine if there was an introduction of new demons alongside the old guard, but unceremoniously dumping the whole lot of them seems more like they're trying to dissociate it from the rest of Megaten completely.

Sorry, I read your original post as if you believed the film was canon to the games. If you don't, then writing "canon" in your original post was unusual. The film dictates its own canon, anything that happens in it is "canon" to it, regardless of how it is related to the game.
I personally think that the demons should be scrapped in P5 and replaced entirely with redone Persona designs because they legacy demons really have no thematic nor visual consistency with the newly designed Personas and they're only there to fill the enormous Persona roster quickly and easily.
That said, I understand this would probably be a bad idea for the strength of future MegaTen games in general. But in a vacuum, the above is preferable.
What would be "unceremonious" about redoing the art? Other series do this all the time. Have Kaneko's designs not been in enough games?
I like his demon designs and he's far better at them than Soejima, so understand I have no stake in whether they do this or don't. I'm trying to understand: If they did it, why would it be "unceremonious"? A "screw you"? Why would it be a bad thing?

What I want, but it would be entirely unrealsitic...Have Kaneko redesign a ton of demons and redraw em all, have Soejima make some killer Personas. P5 is going to be the first megaten game that moves into the true HD era, and will make the demon models for any future ones so far.

Do enemies in P2IS really do 1 most of the time because I'm not seeing that happen? I'm getting hit and take like 10-40 damage

the PSP port of P2IS has terrible rebalancing that caused that. You are on hard right? Also are you upgrading your Personas and stuff? Buying new armor?
I feel like there should be tangible connections to the rest of the umbrella. As it stands Persona already overshadows the rest of the franchises, and the series itself contains only a small smattering of references and connections to any of the other games.
To me redo-ing all of those designs completely seems to be further distancing itself from it by removing additional references to the other series. They'll have the names and the mythology, but the actual character design (that thing that actually identifies it with MegaTen) is removed.
It's like making a pokemon spinoff with significantly different gameplay and redesigning nearly all of the monsters. You could make the case that the demons aren't absolutely essential to Persona's identity like Pokemon are to its own franchise (And I mean Persona in particular, since the demon designs are a shared element of nearly the entire superfranchise), but my point is that you're removing an important component of what actually connects it to the home series when it's not necessary to do so.
From a practical standpoint it makes absolutely no sense to redesign the entire roster from scratch when they could use the updated demon assets for the classic monsters in future Megaten games on HD consoles.(Something Buddha pointed out while I was making this post) The only reason you would do it is if you felt compelled enough to enforce consistency among the designs or wanted to be able to say that there's a metric ton of new designs.
