So at the point in SMT1 where I'm going after the four devas or whatever, and while I recognize the names, I did even more since I had already had one in my party via fusions. I go to the place it's at expecting a fight, and he just goes "Well, I had put this here to test your strength, but I'm already with you, so it's all good" and it ends before it began.


Thought that was pretty neat.

Get that 100 post per page, bro.

 

[Meia]

100 posts per page makes it feel like grinding, 50 makes it seem like it's really moving.

 

[LelouchViBritannia]

Any more updates on Ultimax and Q?

 

[Spectrasonic]

Where's my P4U leaks?

Where's my P4U leaks?

Where's my P5 leaks? D:

 

[LelouchViBritannia]

Well, i guess we'll have an overload of info once the latest installment of Famitsu is released.

 

[Nachos]

Sorry to bring this back, but Silky has a point, guys. Typically for bike shorts like that, you're not actually supposed to wear anything underneath it, in which case...

LEWD.

Where's my P4U leaks?

I'm actually wondering about that, myself. I've heard Thursday, but is that American time or Japanese time?

I believe this Famitsu article confirms that there are only details of a single new character in the latest issue.

Heh, so they're saving Ken for the Persona Stalker Club huh?

Saving that ken hype until the launch windows, those clever people.

 

[Caladrius]

Gotta appeal to those Ken romancers.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Heh, so they're saving Ken for the Persona Stalker Club huh?

I guess? Unless she was screwing with people, Ogata had a reason for retweeting the April 24 Famitsu/P4U2 update tweet. If it's not related to Famitsu, then maybe it's related to the update? If it's neither, then yeah, it has to be PSC. I'd find it a bit odd, but maybe they wanted to keep something to increase the viewership and anticipation.

In that case, Atlas USA gave retailers the product information waaaay too early, seeing how they can't take up preorders until Ken is revealed officially.

I don't think that makes sense. Officially, practically nothing concerning the English release has been revealed at all. All a game needs for pre-orders is an official release date.

People still have The Last Guardian pre-ordered, and that didn't even have a release date.

Yeah, but Atlas has already told retailers info about 6 new characters, etc. So until that information is revealed officially, there's no chance for them to allow retailers to post their product page. Preorders don't even need an official release date, many games on Amazon have a date of 12/31/14, they just need the permission of the company to show it.

"Atlus." And I don't understand why the information would need to be shown off via a trailer, screenshot or whatever for retailers to put it up on their product page when the description itself would suffice. The description also mentioned "state of the art cutscenes" or something like that, but it's not like they'd have to show them off in order to legitimize the description.

And either way, both characters will be shown off this week. Though, that's only for the Japanese version, so who knows what the plan is regarding the localized version. Both versions are releasing very closely, just like last time, so maybe official information will be shown similarly in both regions as well.

Damn phone autocorrect. Anyway, my point is that there is no way Atlus wants major information like characters to be revealed in a product page (hence why Atlus told BB to take down the page).

Of course, that was a genuine leak and definitely was not supposed to happen. They would reveal all of that information themselves via official channels like a press release or a trailer before they'd have a retailer just show it all off.

From Dustloop:

Got the Famitsu issue. Whoever said every character has individual stories lied. Story is separated into two parts, "Episode P3" and "Episode P4". Pretty self explanatory, one focuses on P3 characters and the other on P4 characters.

Rise's Instant Kill is called "True♥Story".

That is such a relief for me. Faith renewed; story's gonna be awesome.

Woot. Looking forward to the story now.

 

[SloaneRisette]

Woo at how the stories are separated

Still want to see how Rise plays so I can decide whether I'll play her seriously or not.

Think I had my first ever persona related dream last night...

Was waiting in a line in times square with some people from PersonaGAF. Line was for Persona Q I think? Not sure, anyway it was Buddha, Omi, and myself together. Buddha was in a Maya cosplay, no shaming it up. When out of no where a Makoto cosplayer with a gang of other P3 cosplayers walked up to him and said "No one cares about Persona 2!" all his buddies stared giving eachother high fives. Buddha said nothing, but instead just lept at the dude, and they got in like a hockey fight, basically like this. Omi for some reason had a huge camera and photographed the whole thing.


I don't remember anything other than that.

Welcome to Cosplay Week.

EDIT: So they're just doing P4 and P3 stories as the two groups? Oh thank the LORD. There will probably be repeated info between the two, but that's WAY more acceptable than having separate stories for everyone. Hopefully this also means there's no internal monologues.

Hype levels rising.

I approve.

Man, this is pretty great news.

Rise's IK being True Story is no big surprise, though.

 

[Lunar15]

Also, I totally called Rise's Instant Kill being called True Story.

Praise me as your new prophet.

Spoiler

It was pretty obvious.

You just wanted to post that video, didn't you?

If not, I'm glad that I'm only the cameraman in your dreams.

LOL that was funny.

Regarding P4A2's story, I'm glad they are told differently as P3 side and P4 side. It would feel too repetitive if I had to read monologues again for P4A2.

Gonna wait for the actual scans now cuz we have conflicting information now.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Clear scans are getting out.

What conflicting information?

Edit: Yep, stuff's looking good. Funny, still can't get a real idea for how Rise's going to be fighting from the scans. Her IK involves a megaphone and multiple loud speakers.

eh the story info

 

[FluxWaveZ]

eh the story info

That's not conflicting information. One came from a mistranslation of a Famitsu leak, the other is from an actual Japanese speaker from the recently released magazine.

The issue includes a bunch of story scenes. Rise, Fuuka and Yukari hanging around in one of them.

Edit: Unfortunately, Shadow Rise doesn't have an awesome slasher smile. Still cool, though.

Ah. Good to hear!

 

[LelouchViBritannia]

Hmm strange that Ken isn't in Famitsu?

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Also, yeah, P4U2 and P4D are indeed connected, at least as far as Rise is concerned.

Edit: The first-print copies having DLC might have been another piece of Famitsu leak misinformation.

Edit 2: No it wasn't.

 

[Levito]

That news about the story mode is AWESOME, definitely wanted a more concise experience.

I know nothing about Hockey, so it's all I could think of.

 

[hao chi]

I waited to get upset about the story info yesterday because I thought there might be an issue of it being mistranslated or misinterpreted.

At the very least I thought it'd be handled better than P4A.

She has crazy eyes and that's good enough for me

I just need to know what Rise/Shadow Rise's playstyles are

Someone pls tell me

My money is on her being a zoner.

Normal Rise uses dance moves. Shadow rise uses a stripper pole.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

My money is on her being a zoner.

That's too vague, though.

All I can think is that, seeing that she has 4 Persona cards like Yukari, maybe she has decent normals of her own.

 

[Levito]

Anyone else think that Ultimax art of Rise looks kinda crappy? (particularly her legs)


Not sure if we can link to scans, but you know the one I'm referring to.

Yeah, four Persona cards suggests she's not a zoner in the same sense as Yukiko. But it's really hard to say without more info.

I dunno, I kind of like it. She's all excited.

Yeah, I thought it looked weird. Although, I think a lot of it comes from her hair being lifted up from her face. Looks like dog ears or something.

It reminds me of the art from the cover of The Golden, which I felt was a little off.
