Crazy that some series are already getting around to re-releases of their fifth entry while Atlus won't even talk about theirs.
I'm just posting because some of you like AA.
You don't know rereleases until you're FF1 or FF4. Any time Square hears of a new machine being made they port it to that. When time travel becomes available, they will port FF1 to the time machine and FF4 to Gutenberg's press.

I dont need much, just give some character/concept art for P5 and Ill be happy. Really hoping to see something at TGS, but I was in the group of people here who thought we might see The Last Guardian at this years E3
I also quickly wanted to thank people for being supportive of this weird Persona character/food thing thats been happening. Wasnt sure anybody would find Piegis funny, but Im glad you did, and some of the suggestions youve collectively been coming out with have been fantastic. Its just that certain ideas (Nanacho, Adacheese) are easier for me to translate into a picture (each one takes between 4 and 6 hours to complete).

Words can't describe the amount of salt flowing through my veins after how great the remake of FFIV was and them stopping before the greatest game in the series, FFVI. And THEN to release a very shitty iOS port instead....
Speaking of which... only less than 20 songs in the games. The worst part of all is that there are three versions of the game and each one has a few different songs
One game for the price of three
*facepalm*
I just hope they don't do something as stupid again.
Have an incredibly rough sketch of Narukami and Naoto dressed as Link and Linkle.
EDIT: Yikes, just saw this in the PQ thread:
I mean, it was to be expected, but it's still disappointing.

I assumed everyone was aware of this. The whole game comes of as a caricature.
Anyways, fuck 3DS

To be fair, Teddie always behaves like that.
Dave, Dantis, have you guys purchased Eurogamer tickets already?
(apart from when he had his identity crisis in P4)
Dave, Dantis, have you guys purchased Eurogamer tickets already?
Well, we do also have to remember what time of year the game snaps people out of, so it makes sense for at least Teddie's interactions to be almost all this, right? I mean, it's Teddie, and he just got the girls of Persona 3 in their prime dropped onto his lap. I'd be disappointed if it wasn't Teddie to the Nth degree.
Now, if I hear it's more like Arena with Chie non-stop mentioning steak or Yukiko and cooking, then I'd be worried. The more I listen to the OST, and then to know what the game is, this seems more like a good-bye to both casts before we move onto Persona 5(which I personally think is why we've seen nothing about it really yet). If they really just have the characters be nothing but caricatures of themselves, it would really be a pretty big disservice, so I really hope it's not that.
I wouldn't be so sure about this.

For P4D, I think so. Well I'm hoping so. I didn't realise TGS was that soon in September, that could be the place to see...something from them instead. Unless you know of something?
I have a ticket for Sunday.

Im still trying to get the weekend off work. I got a hook up with the Nintendo guys at the event. I was planning on helping them throughout the 3-4 days, especially if they have Persona Q with them.
From what I've read, Teddie is whatever but the rest of the characters are honesstly pretty good. Teddie gets a bit better later on when he takes the hint, but he's not all that different from his P4 incarnation.
Nice drawing btw.
Indeed. Now somebody else has posted this:
I'm holding out hope that it's not true, but I am getting less confident.
I don't think I'm going, tbh. I'm not sure there's anything on that I really want to play.

Yeah, i agree. Im hoping they have more to offer come September.
Ha, Lelouch is fairly popular, so that's no surprise. Whenever I get a PS4, ill probably have a gamertag that closely resembles my Gaf name.

Its quite far from you too right? I would probably say its not worth it aswell. I'm only 15 minutes away by train so its not that much hassle for me.
Very far. I'm already planning to go up to London in October as it is to see Poets of The Fall.
I'd probably go if PQ was there though.

From what ive noticed, Atlus games tend to show up more at Comic-con than Eurogamer.
Well, Yankii is a term that has been around forever in japan, it pretty much refers to the punk/gang culture of japan's youth, even the whole "big hair" 70's japan motorcycle punk stuff. It has just kind of emerged as a more mainstream pop culture movement in recent years due to several factors. Much like rap has gone from something that was a little more underground to very a very pervasive culture/genre.
But yeah, chains were very present in all of that intro teaser. You know who wears big chains? Jotaro Kujo. Sorry PK, the next protagonist is going to be Jotaro. A tough looking guy who acts like he doesn't care about the people around him but really actually is very caring and observant.

The Last Guardian and Persona 5 at TGS.....BELIE- I can't take this anymore.
I do believe that the next time we hear about Persona 5 it be a full reveal though. Gameplay, characters, release date etc.
Real talk: I would be ecstatic if Persona 5 protagonist was even remotely similar to the character concept you laid out in your previous post.
Lollipop Dave
Member
See, I was thinking more this;
Some of the aspects to the Yankii style reminds me of old 1950's Teddy boys. Especially that hair.
If P5 turns out to be based around this Yankii culture, I'd be quite excited.
And I'd be ecstatic if it was a character like Johnny. He's the second best Jojo.
I love Joseph too much.

If Persona actually becomes JoJo's, I quit life.
Persona already is Jojo.
I'm surprised you ended finishing part 7 before me! I seem to remember you getting into JoJo a bit after I did (then again, I took forever to get through the later parts, haha). And yeah a P5 protagonist that actually goes through character development would rock.
I'll never forget Joseph Joestar. He was my first JoJo love.

Man, posting PQ images just makes me hate it more.

This is the worst post in this thread/forum.
As far as I'm aware JoJo's inspired the creators with a way to "matarelise" the Carl Jung theme.
SMT1 and 2 re-releases aren't that far off either iirc
If you don't believe me, go look at the poses everyone makes when they summon a Persona in the first game!
It was always Jojo.

Alright Pgaf, Im gonna finally attempt to play and finish the P4A story. Wish me luck.
This should probably go without saying, but you shouldn't take any of the things we're saying at face value. Persona doesn't literally equal JoJo, but it draws a lot of inspiration from the stand concept. So much so that the developers decided to make an super overt (yet awesome) JoJo reference PQ. That should mean something.
Oh and Part IV and Persona 4 are pretty much the same thing.

Im used to poses like that so I don't associate them, even if the chances of their inclusioniis 'cos of JoJo's is near 100%. Might say its picky but I lived with 3 fashion photographers for almost 4 years while at Uni. Camp poses everywhere.
P.S stop ruining Persona for me ;_;

I'm only joking about it too.
While I do hate Jojo's I'm not stupid enough to let something like that ruin a franchise I love. We've had these conversations numerous times in IRC..
Or you know, it's just 'cos it's super popular at the moment.
I don't like the source material, well, what I've read/watched of it.
Well, it's also all the tarot card references and the small town mystery stuff of P4, not just the poses in PQ. That's just the most obvious reference so far. It's clear that Jojo was a gigantic influence on the series.
However, they've also called out stuff like twin peaks as being inspirational as well. It's definitely its own thing at this point.
EDIT: nvm, you answered my question.

Tarot cards being associated with Carl Jung's work is a very common theme too, He even mentioned tarot cards in his work a few times.
I do not. Though people keep telling me to read a certain part, because it gets good there or something.
Can you name a bunch of recent games that made a huge, in your face reference to JoJo?
While I agree that we should keep jojo's references to a minimum in this thread, I do have to ask: did you get to part 2?
Lollipop Dave
Member
If I wasn't told I would never of assumed that the PQ cutscene was a JoJo's reference.
Though if I had to guess I would say being a huge Japanese franchise and the only 2 big Japanese games I can think of at the moment that are relatively recent are Danganronpa and Akibas Trip, I would almost bet money that both these games have Jojo references.
How in your face they are you'll need to ask someone who knows what they are looking for.
I did, I've read up to the end of part 2 which is when I stopped and started watching the 2012 series and the current part 3 one. For all the hate I give it, Joseph was alright.
For as much as people complain about excessive talk about Danganronpa and JoJo's in the thread, if you're a Persona fan who hasn't checked either series out, you owe it to yourself to. In a lot of ways, they really cater to people who like Persona, which is a lot of why so many of us like them.
