No Idea. The Euro cover of the original P3 is faaaar worse though.
It's strange considering both Nocturne and Digital Devil Saga used their original Kaneko art (which isn't as marketable to begin with.)

Ohh I just realized that. Dantis, you should do this instead, since Naoto's personas have some cool outfits.
Edit:
I'd be down for PGAF sing-along, but there's something wrong with my webcam, so I need to fix it first ._.
I swear I have seen this cover with an ESRB logo :/
(And yeah, good thing that we no longer have the cover switched up from the JP release)

Holy crap it's so good.

Superb! It's actually pretty similar to one of Soejima's pictures of Katherine.
EDIT: Okay, it's super similar. He definitely used this as a reference.

I don't want to say this...
I like Kr0n's over Soejima's :X

You have, it's the cover of P3 Vanilla under the slip case. I'll never understand how either of those awful covers passed QA.
The bottom of the P4U2 website was given 7 more outlink rectangles (in addition to a daily countdown on the front page with the narrator's voice), with one of them being the P4U2 x LHP collab. Also, there aren't any more static screens on the "Special" page after the LHP collab. was added. Interesting.

That's the reason I don't really like those drawings. Everyone has the same face.
BETRAITOR.
Is that even a word?

Figured I'd be called SOMETHING LIKE THAT ahaha! But I gotta give that piece some credit. To be fair Soejima's was drawn longer ago, and with time styles change. The fact that here I prefer the "pupils" work over the master's is a good thing, I love the little details given to it. Soejima's is more straight to the point with basic colors but this is his character and his creation, while Kronz has some gradients mixed in there along with some good definition and lines, but it's work based off Soejima.
In the end although more credit should be given to the creator, visually I find Kronz more appealing. Just my 2 cents

The quality is similar but expression doesn't match the character.
Then again, I never completed the Katherine route.
leave rise out of this
QA isn't for cover art.
No need to be so salty
It is now. I just coined it! I'm putting PersonaGAF on the map!

Disgraceful.
Why did I never realize Persona 3 was like X-Men? Buncha rag-tag youngsters in a group for gifted kids, they have special powers and a quirky boss who gives 'em missions.

Sorry to ask but what do you think this means from your point of view.
You mean the timer or? The numbers are simply counting down to August 28th, the day that P4AU goes on sale in Japan and other Region 3 countries.
Edit: Oh the rectangles. My bad.

Those 7 rectangles.
And I'm also not getting my expectations high
for Makoto even if I want to.

Off topic, but is your avatar a fat Byakuya? Presumably from Danganronpa 2?

I don't watch any.
Never knew about it, huh.
No Yukari. 0 out of 10.
I really like this one, and US' P3 normal one.

Well, someone had to have said 'wow, that's really ugly compared to the JP cover' at some point.
Yup. Had Sonia initially, before I realized Ganzlinger was already repping her.
I'm honestly torn between getting my local copy of P4AU vs waiting for Sep 30 for that Teddie bop bag and the other half of the arcana cards...any recommendations on which one should I go for? Earlier access VS goodies for NA copies?

But I don't like him ú_ú
Did no one take Gundam? Also do we already have a DanganRonpa 2 thread?
No one has used him, no (not that there aren't multiple sprites to make an avatar from, lol).
There's already a spoiler thread iirc, but the OT won't be up until the 26th.

I only recently played through the fist Danganronpa after seeing people in Persona community thread rave about it. Glad I did.
I hope Byakuya dies in the second, only character in the first game I actually hated.
Heh, well I was going to keep the theories to myself this time, but alright.
Every single one of those rectangles on the current website are reserved for marketing purposes rather than to illustrate in-game content exclusively (which is what the website itself is there for). Same goes for the PQ website, with the possible outlier being the 1.2 ver. update rectangle.
So, the way I see it, these are the things that immediately come to mind that could be added:
A lot of these would seem relevant to the "Special" page, but they removed the blatant indication that something will be added to it. Much like the character page removing the static screen only to add more characters later, or the outlink rectangles themselves, they might still add content to the "Special" page, though it would seem odd they wouldn't be indicating as much if it wasn't a big deal like the new characters (plus, unlike the PQ "Special" page, the images are huge so they'd have to add an arrow like on the character page).
The rectangles don't need to all be filled in before the game's JPN release, as PQ's weren't, but they'll all probably be filled in eventually. It's difficult to determine what they might be, especially since the website still has two whole tabs that haven't been revealed, but I don't think they would be reserved for anything big right now.

I may be crazy, but I remember that the "Special" page had the category Wallpaper, which was later replaced by Others.
I'm still waiting for a cool wallpaper with every character ;_;
Fortunately, it appears no one at Atlus is that high-strung.
I think that'd be great!

Toko had some of the most terrible character art in the game. Worst art + worst person, they were a great couple.

I could have sworn that the Japanese site was like that way before they even added the second set of Twitter icons and got changed some point after they announced Redacted and added the Products category... But like I said, I may be crazy.
My hopes are now on the NA site then. And if they don't upload a wallpaper, I guess there will be tons made by fans...
Also, guys, I don't want to sound rude, but we should stop talking about Danganronpa. I think we're dangerously close to spoiler territory (and it's off topic).

I have to admit, the 'mouth down south' line made me laugh out loud, getting me some strange looks on the train to work.
What else would we expect from the Ultimate Writing Prodigy.
Sorry. I'm done.
