I wish I could write published fanfiction.

I want to apologize for the sheer amount of time it took me to come here and make a Teddie Bara joke.

Well actually "Bara" is Japanese for "Rose", so it doesn't really work. :V

 

[cj_iwakura]

But if that's the case, why did they specifically bring him back for the Tatsuya scenario?

Well, who else would be better suited?

That was awesome. It's probably the best Burn My Dread cover I've ever heard; though I haven't heard much cover for it.

Her other cover songs are great too.

 

[Dantis]

I'm going to hazard a guess and say that Atlus have nothing against Tadashi whatsoever.

I'm willing to agree, but I wonder if he would've been involved in 3 & 4 if not for the drama.

 

[Sophia]

This seems to be the most logical scenario. Seems we have another case of a half truth that has been exaggerated thanks to the power of the internet.

 

[Cannon_Fodder]

Satomi Tadashi is a hideous loser freak with absolutely no redeeming qualities who pervs on other women and is somehow the one true love of Tamaki even though she's the protagonist of a game and kinda is always disgusted by him.

Otherwise I don't know.

Satomi Tadashi self-inserted himself in P2 Innocent Sin as Tadashi, a detective working in the Kuzunoha Detective alongside his girlfriend Tamaki (the MC of SMT If...)

The situation was so fanfic-ish and BAD (alongside with the fact that Tamaki is inspired after an idol Satomi Tadashi was a fan of, that Tadashi never appeared in Eternal Punishment, supposedly chased by hired assassins.

In conclusions, fans didn't want the writer hog a waifu for himself.

EDIT: Well, Tadashi also appeared in P1, forgot about that. But it wasn't until P2 that the situation became cringeworthy.

Thanks for the answers guys! I actually read about that the first time I played through Innocent Sin, but I had totally forgotten.

If i buy ultimax from Amazon.com, will I get the preorder bonuses? (Cards, Teddie doll, etc).

I did preorder (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KBD4SJA/?tag=neogaf0e-20).

However, there's nothing on the site that suggests it comes with those extras.

AtlusPrime, any chance you could let me know for certain before Monday? I think that's when they plan on shipping it.

Just viewed the link on my desktop PC. Yeah its there. My mobile sucks.

Cheers guys.

 

[Xenoflare]

Just to confirm, aside from the two DLC characters being free on the first week of release for Ultimax, the original P4A story mode DLC is also free during the first week right?

No. It is not. The original story mode will be $9.99.

No. It is not. The original story mode will be $9.99.

Alright, thanks.

Too fucking adorable

I'd post the image directly, but pixiv is a pain in the ass to grab animated pictures from.

 

[Xeteh]

P4AU cannot release fast enough. I've been counting the days for that game. Any clue on how much the DLC characters will cost?

$4.99 for Margaret. Marie and [Redacted] are free for the first week; just have to download them.

Holy crap, that is way cheaper than I expected. Thanks a ton!

 

[Reanimatoin]

Despite the fact that I'm going to have to have someone talk me through the DLC side of things (getting a US copy but live in UK), I am super hyped for Ultimax.

Especially since it's shipping a day early too Hopefully should have it by friday or saturday.

1. make a PSN account and set your country to United States
2. On Tuesday after the store updates (~9PM where you live?), log onto the web store and "buy" the DLC

You can make the account ahead of time, so you might as well get it out of the way.

IGNORE THAT! I just use Paypal, duh!

 

[Lemstar]

Well, you still need to make a US account at some point.

If you're planning on buying non-free DLC, you won't be able to fund a US account with a foreign PayPal account. You'll need to buy PSN codes.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Heh, even Ultimax is being affected by the PSN issues. Everyone got booted out of a full 32 player lobby, and connection issues are wonky all around right now.

Really? Ugh, such a pain! How would I go about doing that? For all the DLC I want, I'm going to need about $36, or $40 if its easier to round up.

You should be able to buy them from Amazon's US store with your credit card.

If you want a bit of a discount, I can sell some for below face value.

That would be very much appreciated, this game is costing me quite a bit as it is, what with importing it and all. PM me the details if you can please.

 

[Dragon1893]

That bad huh? I only watched episode 1,6 and 7. I may watch the rest of it at some point.

My main problem is that, particularly in the last episode, this show rewrites important plot points, so it can't even be viewed as a complement to the original anime and a straight anime adaptation of P4G's new content, it just can't coexist with those which makes it its own thing. The problem is that in the end I don't get what the purpose of this show is anymore. I could deal with it being a half-assed attempt at animating the Golden scenes and even pushing Marie into some scenes where it was harmless, but now I don't get where this stands.
It's a short, half-assed show that barely bothered with the main plot up until now and in the end completely rewrites the climax and Yu's most important moment in the game.
I just don't get it and that's way I'm saying it's better to ignore it, thoug there are a couple of episodes focused on Adachi that are definitely worth watching.

 

[UltraGunner]

So I finally watched the finale of P4GA. I should have left this series dropped.

 

[names2hard4you]

So I finally watched the finale of P4GA. I should have left this series dropped.

I'm so glad I did. I feel bad for everyone who did watch the whole thing... At least we have P4AU dropping this Tuesday to rinse away the bad taste that P4GA left in our mouths

 

[CrazyTank940]

Just going from impressions it sounds like a good thing I never picked the show up. Looking at the quality images were funny though.

 

[Aliquidmeri]

First time posting. Hi Persona Gaf.

Here's my question: I'm on 1-14 on P3FES and I beat all the floor bosses in Tartarus about a week ago game-time. Since then I've spent almost every night just grinding up my planned anti-nyx team and now there all level 80 or 79. The constant grinding is dragging me down though; when can I call it quits and zoom ahead towards the nix fight?

I'm planing to bring Yukari, Mitsuru, and Aigis to the fight (mostly because I have the heart items to null their weaknesses).

You can win at that level, but you're in for a long fight. If you hit late 80s/early 90s, it'll be a slaughter.

Also, props for the avatar. ABe art is always win.

Best equip anyone who can heal with a null-charm item. (I think you get it from Narcissus)
Also, it might be best to get your MC to a high enough level to summon

Spoiler

Helel and Satan. That should make the second half much easier.

Ok, you need to ignore everyone else's advice so far.

The only true way to do this is to take Junpei, and only Junpei. Yeah, the fight becomes 10x harder, but you get Da Man bonus!

In all seriousness, your levels are fine, it's not levelling that will help you beat the final boss, it's tactics. Everyone has different plans, mine was to bring Yukari, Mitsuru and Junpei and equip myself with a persona with all elementals (Loki carded up to fuck with all-dyne spells).

Hey, is that DLC free even if you haven't bought the game yet? (Was this a stupid question?)

 

[Reanimatoin]

You can download the DLC before you buy the game. I'm importing it so I'll be making sure to get the DLC before the time expires and then waiting for my copy to arrive.

Who on my team can heal...? All of them, damn. I actually have Narcisus registered and ready to bring out for the null charm items, but that messes up my nice plan.

Maybe I'll replace Aigis with Da man. He is a lot of fun and I like his skill set.

[MudoSkills]

I'm not fussed enough about it to import Ultimax, but does anybody know if the US DLC will work with an EU copy of the game?

I assume that the characters will be free to download when it comes to EU as well, but given that we don't have a set release date yet, nothing has been confirmed as far as I know.

If it'll work across regions I'll set up a US account to grab the content when it's up.

It most likely won't. DLC is region-locked on PlayStation (that is, you need to get the DLC from the store that corresponds to your game's version).

The US DLC will not work with an EU copy afaik.

Also, the game has a confirmed November release date in EU, but no word on DLC as of yet.

It's from ABe's art for Welcome To The N.H.K. .

 

[sackboy2197]

It's from ABe's art for Welcome To The N.H.K. .

That's the same art used for the Italian version
I bought it a while ago after reading good reviews of the anime; I thought it was something completely different, but still enjoyed it quite a lot. It's a shame not that many LN get translated.

 

[Aliquidmeri]

It's from ABe's art for Welcome To The N.H.K. .

I knew it was from NHK, but I've only watched it. I had no idea it was cover art.

 

[Sophia]

If anyone is interested in a free Japanese gameshare of Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, get ahold of Lem somehow. He's usually in IRC. I'm passing on my gameshare of the Japanese version, as I have the US version pre-loadidng now.

Claimed. Thanks tho.
