Yeah, makes sense. After all, it was Mitsuru who pointed Makoto as the leader... She could replace him if she wanted, technically speaking.

To be fair, it's only SOME of the P3 folks meeting the P4 gang.
Makoto and Shinjiro say hi

Yeah, and even then, during most of the part the members of the IT (except for Naoto I think) only truly interact with one of the Shadow Operatives and then maybe have a few win quotes against the others of them.
Also I must admit I've spoiled Ultimax for myself ;_; Only the major plot points though, so the one thing I'm looking forward the most to now are the character interactions.

Yeah, you're definitely right. I just wanted to make the Makoto = Naked Snake joke, which was admittedly a bit of a stretch.
Thanks for posting that PQ article MSMrRound! The more of it I see in English, the more excited I am to play it.

Still gonna be a good while until it is out though. Got plenty to get busy with. I mean Ultima is dropping at the end of the month, so that will satiate that Persona hunger for a good while.

The PQ english hype begins!
Already looking forward to Yosuke's trailer tomorrow!I'm seeing the currency in pounds wich probably also means they ship to the UK. Like, ATLUS stuff available in EU/UK.
Is this real life?
I'm snagging one of those wall scrolls.
All that matters is that Kanji met Koro.

But the MC leads them in combat. If Mitsuru's the boss, what does that make him? Some kind of... bigger boss? A Big Boss?
Wait...
Perfect.
What good's a leader who's blind.

In both games he did aha!
Whoa I didn't know about this. Thanks for the link AP!
I'm so tempted to buy those button sets and P3 wall scroll.
Edit: I'm also getting hype for english PQ. Bring out the videos!
*Junpei upon meeting Rise in Arena* Woah deja vu!

IGN has the Yosuke trailer up. Not sure where their preview is though :|
http://www.ign.com/videos/2014/09/09/persona-q-yosuke-trailer
I love these trailers, but the in-battle voices sound way too compressed
damn!! this is not look so good from visual stanpoint
Forgot how much I missed Yosuke's "partner!" talk. "Yu" and "Narukami" just sounds so...wrong.
Good god. Just heard the trailer and those are GBA levels of compression. Hopefully it's just the video and it'll sound a bit better coming from the 3DS speakers.
Edit: alright who just bought that last persona 3 wallscroll cuz i've got some FIGHTIN words to have with you
Nice. Yosuke doesn't sound like Makoto at all this time (or vice versa). I'm glad Yosuke still sounds like he did in the previous games.

Working on fixing that for the next set.
It looks better on the 3DS screen
I think it's better to give the trailers a look. Screenshot don't really do much justice to 3DS games.
*Envying John's new Matcatz Persona fighting stick* If I ever get one...I might just go for that one...

Oh, so you mean the voices in-battle won't have that compressed quality from the other trailers? Great news if true!
Either way, I can't wait for this game. It'll be a joy to play, and will come out in Europe in the same week as North America *_*
Time for Nuclear to make a comeback as an element.
I saw almost every trailer of PQ and still dont understand why they choose chibi design
Yeah, it's not a great looking game, for sure. The in-game conversations are probably the worst looking bit.
I'm still really interested in it though, even though I'm 90% sure that it will all be fan service fluff.

Damn, Mitsuru is indeed scary when she is pissed. That temper is probably her most prominent flaw. lol
Because it's megidolaon cute!
Maybe it's just me, but I don't find chibi stuff cute.
Soejima's PQ character renders are really nice at least, though.
Screw it. Lets go further back: Almighty Physical skills.
Oh really? That's great then, I was hoping that it was just some kind of recording thing and not actually the in-game compression.
Thanks for the reply

I don't find all chibi stuff cute to be honest. But I really loved PQ's style. Soejima is very talented for sure.
Nope, chibi is not cute at all, cast lost their personalities and become generic as hell

The IGN preview is up (here) and one line from it caught my eye:
I find it interesting that you can use both navigators to do different things in game. I'm not sure how much help a Labyrinth Navigator will be though, but that's the kind of thing one can only figure out by playing the game for yourself.
As for the chibi art style, I quite like it. It's perfect for a fun spinoff full of fan service, because it's familiar while being just different enough to distinguish itself. Plus, Soejima did a fantastic job of the chibi renders, so the art style has a good basis there.
Edit:
I'm just curious, if you dislike the chibi style so much, why are you using it as an avatar?

I can't, actually.
Really looking forward to the epilogue episode. It'll be nice just to see everyone looking like that, and we can decide if it was lazy to give Rise, Chie and Naoto three-quarter length shorts.
Your avatar makes this statement very confusing.
If I had my elitist Persona head on, I'd point out that as nothing past the original Persona 4 has been particularly faithful in tone to the original game (INCLUDING GOLDEN, COME AT ME), PQ condensing the characters down to fan favourite traits (as I'm sure it does) is really nothing new at all.
I agree 100%.
Because this is the only moment I liked in trailers.
But when everything can change after I play the game

And I don't get what the bold part has to do with cuteness. Cuteness is about kawaiiness. lol

AAAAAAAAAAH I NEED TO WATCH THEM BUT I'M IN SCHOOL RIGHT NOW
I don't see that all. imo Soejima captured perfectly the best traits of each character while making the PQ designs.
And I don't get what the bold part has to do with cuteness. Cuteness is about kawaiiness. lol
Cuteness is about cuteness?
What does that even mean?
Which is kind of weird, seeing as that bit was like, the cheesiest fucking thing.

It's all about that warm sensation when you see a puppy or a bunny. That "Aw, that's so cute! I wanna hug it!" kind of feeling.
I sincerely do not feel that when I look at the PQ art, particularly the in game stuff.
Then again, I'm not into cute stuff full stop, so my opinions are pretty much worthless in this conversation.
The only characters who I dislike are Junpei and Kanji, because Soejima's new thing is to make them deformed and ugly, and I think that's dumb.

What about Shinji?
Oh yeah! It's even weirder with him, because he was a pretty cool looking guy, particularly in his new P3P portraits.
