God! Im not having much luck with Persona 4 random stuff!!
I may have opened more then a hundred chests already (summing up my 1st and 2nd playthrough) and just found the reaper once when I was level 40 at my 1st playthrough on normal mode! Cant find it anymore by any chance! I just opened at about 20~30 chests in a row at Rise's Dungeon while finding enemies to get some Risette Lines and cant find that damn Reaper!!
Also, counting 170 Risette Lines already on that 2nd playthrough! But the new lines are getting harder to find now! I guess that it throw away that theory that the lines carry over to NG+. I cant believe I could not find other 80 different lines on my 1st playthrough with more then 90 hours in.

Don't mean to make this come across as advertising, but Fangamer (an online retailer that I love) just released a Persona 4 inspired/themed t-shirt!

Hells yeah.
there is a certain thing you can do in Yukiko's dungeon that can force the reaper to appear. Don't remember how to do it though.

Just finished the part 1 video, oh man the hype's getting up there again. The whole thing was great, especially the Mitsuru section since that gives me a solid idea of the changes I'll be dealing with (also I'm so happy 5C is dash-cancel OK now which I always wanted from the first game, also how did I not know this before today lol).

I've had the worst luck for Reapers as well. Whenever I hear the chains rattling the only other chest left would be a Golden one >_>

I will take a look on that then! Just after I finish that Hardcore Risette Fan trophy now!
Yeah, some people was that luck! But on my 1st playthrough I took a long time in each dungeon and was never much stronger (always started a dungeon weak and finished it at just the right level)... and still wasnt able to get those lines. However I used only one party the entire game, that was probably the main reason. But now Im using everyone, getting stats aliments, and keeping a track of every single line I get... hopefully I will be able to get it soon!
Guys here me out.
What if there was a persona game where the plot took place in an MMO. Like, instead of the MC being a new kid in town, they've lived their all their life, but they've been a recluse, only leaving for school and what not.
So one day a new MMO comes out, and the MC starts to play it, and shadows and stuff start happening or w/e. And he starts making friends with people on the same server as him, which, for convenience sake are mostly people in the town he lives in. And as everyone tries to figure out what's going on, they start meeting up in real life and become friends and social links happen.

I just got Megaten-ed out of a 30 minute battle in P3P while fighting (end game spoilers)
! Both the enemies had matching weaknesses by sheer luck, I had Akihiko masukunda, Junpei use up a masukukaja item, and MC was buffed and ready to deal the final hit(s) on them both. I used arrow rain(?), the one that deals multi-hit medium damage, and unfortunately missed both of them. The turn ends, the first one cast megidolaon, the party takes about half damage. The the other guy goes for god hand, hits akihiko with a crit, then goes around the party getting crits everytime, and finally ends it off with his AOE attack as I was the magic pixel away from winning.
Time to grind some more levels.
The Emperor and Empress arcana rematch
Time to grind some more levels.
More meant to be Persona meets .Hack actually

You are teasing me...
Just finished Persona 3 Fes The Journey and wow what an amazing game. I had always wanted to get into the series but didn't have a PS3 or Vita and I just recently purchased a used PS3. I will say I had a rough start with this game, I feel the freedom early on was overwhelming. For the first few months I didn't really know how often I should visit Tartarus or when I should fuse persona(or even registering them to begin with). Using a social link guide really helped me see all the game had to offer and took out the stress of how best to spend my days. I'll probably wait a few days to start Persona 4(I can't wait to see the improvements) so I don't get burned out.
I'm so excited to see what kind of dialogue Makoto has

From what I can gather from various playthroughs, it seems like the game is building upon his personality from the films, which is great. General snarkiness combined with a tendency to underreact

Well, the female portion of the main cast are flawed all in their own ways.
Chie: She's kind of a one note character. Like it's really apparent when the group has their discussions on the culprit, and her lines sound the same no matter how far into the plot you are. I also think she has the weakest s.link as a result. It just feels like a side story. It doesn't really add to her character in any meaningful way. Her P4A story is actually better in that regard.
Yukiko: As time goes on, her presence in the group is stifled by more extroverted characters and she in turn is flanderized. For instance. the scene showing her silliness with the nose glasses was one of the better group moments of the game. But since there aren't Yukiko focused scenes in the future, there's no way to showcase that part of her personality. She devolves into just laughing at group arguments like an automated laugh track. There's also this contradiction with Yukiko's portrayal. Her premise initially was, beyond her popularity in school and duties to her family, she was an ordinary, personable girl. But as the story goes on, she's fed all these randomly off-the-wall quirks that don't fall in line with that initial characterization. It turns her into a joke character on par with Teddie.
Rise: blatant wish fulfillment character. character development from her shadow encounter to her social link goes in a circle.
Naoto: A combination of joining too late, being a tool for exposition and being the furthest thing from normal makes her stick out like a sore thumb. Meshes the least with the group. Her character arc is also too disjointed. Weakest aesthetic design of the bunch too IMO.
Marie:
Cheesy cliche doomsday damsel. Cheesy cliche tsundere. Cheesy cliche hot springs scene.
so probably
Chie > Naoto = Yukiko > Rise > Marie
Uh, has this full P4GA trailer been posted here yet? Has the new opening song and everything.
The track is decent, but it doesn't sound like Meguro, which is interesting. I have no idea what to make of the animation clips.

I just love the irony of the name of that song, when this is the fourth time we're visiting this story.
Sounds like they keep missing the chance to move on.

From the trailer it doesn't look like they will be doing that Golden exclusive scenes thing. How they will manage to pull off an entire 40-50 hour game plot into 12 episodes, I have no clue
not to be negative but right now I can't see this ending well lol...

Ah, if only they had women's sizes.
You might want to check if the upload halted because of too long of tags or something; the video isn't up yet.

Part one kept me entertained during my lunch break!
I guess there's no word on region locking still? Can't wait for it to be released.
I always found her burst-out laughing fits to feel kinda forced and awkward. Maybe it was just the line being played

Having watched part one made me both get really interested and sad, because I don't know 90% of the terminology/combos being used. That level of play and understanding of the mechanics just seems way out of my league, no wonder I get rocked all the time online aha.

It looks like Junpei is the only P3 character who doesn't need an evoker for their instant kill. I guess that's because he's DA MAN.
Aw man. I mean, he is da man naturally- but it is kinda a shame there isn't an evoker involved in his instant kill.
Would have been awesome for him to say "Check this out" and use his evoker
Really digging his instant though, cant wait to junpei every day in ultimax
Nothing to really talk about. It looks like your standard PV with just footage from the first episode.
It's just clips from the first episode. We'll have to see how the pacing is in the following episodes to see if the 12 episode thing is right.

I can't view these videos at work (Germany and their content restrictions).
Is it the same ones that are on their website? http://www.p4ga.jp/movie/
Yeah the one from June 28th.

I will still watch but idk if I'm the only one here who's a bit fed up of P4. Having done multiple play throughs and watched the other anime has me kind of burnt out of this specific storyline. I mean more Persona is always good, but just more of the same is a bit eh.
You're not the only one. There are plenty of people here that feel that way. Some even say that Atlus is milking P4 dry.
I'm starting to get sick of it myself, but I'm still excited for P4AU and PQ. I can't say I really all that excited for P4GA as well. It premieres the day I leave for Vegas and I'm not even care that I'm missing it.

When Atlus decide to dig through their closet and find a box full of old toys.

It's also the fact that on Thursdays there's already so much stuff that I'm watching (Glasslip, Tokyo Ghouls, and the upcoming Zankyou no Terror and the Psycho Pass remaster, all out on the same day as P4GA), that it's making me think twice. Do I really wanna see this all over again?
Now the new iterations of the storylinr are a different story. Hype as fuck for PQ, P4AU and P4D.
