Ahem, as the main advocate of this movement, I would like to welcome you to the "FUCK CORROSION SPELLS" party.
Feel free to be angry at any time.
No, you can do just the questions over again.
Wait, really? I must have skipped over that option.
Just go back to the first question room and it'll let you do then all again.
I think it's time for volume 1 of PK's Perfect Persona Q(uote) Picks
Confusion ailment
Yu: NANAKO LOOK OUT!
Naoto: The culprit is YOU, and YOU, and YOUUUUUU!
Junpei: My own worst enemy is... me!?!
Sleep ailment
Mitsuru: Time for your... execution...zzz (the line itself is forgettable, but the delivery is goddamn hilarious)
Shadow specific dialogue
Makoto: That shadow is making me queezy... (against the DNA shadow)
Yu: Can you stand up to my moves? (against the dancing couple shadow)
Yukiko: It's a table... and it's floating! (laughing fit)
Junpei: It's that shadow with the eyes again... STOP STARING AT ME.
Makoto: A boulder shadow. Looks hard. (guess)
Follow up attack
Rei: Go get em Zen!
Zen: Naturally.
Chie: Steakhouse, porterhouse, ROUNDHOUSE!
I cracked up so hard the first time this happened to me. The battle dialog in this game is really a gift. Liz's Nav voice has been a lot of fun so far too:
"Leader, are you panicked? This is amus- I mean... troubling."

The P4D hype is real!

I like Mitsuru's vs the tables. It's something like, "Tables shouldn't move. It's rude!"
Also, Yu vs a king: "I was a king once...uhh, never mind."
I also really like the convos that can happen during battle too.
Chie/Yukiko same party, with Chie very low on heatlh:
Yukiko - Chie, you're hurt, back off a bit.
Chie - Sorry Yukiko, cover for me!
Beginning to think I should drop Yukari from the party and run Naoto in the same party with Kanji instead. Not really any banter with Yukari and anyone(makes sense). Only thing that worries me is how hard it'd be to catch her up.

Bring in Da Man if you want Yukari banter! I looove Junpei in this game. Every one of his lines are delivered to perfection. I'm currently rolling with a Yu-Kanji-Junpei and Yukiko-Yukari squad. Loving both Kanji and Junpei's battle quotes. I had Naoto and Chie when it was just P4 crew Naoto has some nice banter with Kanji, I kinda miss it. Same with Chie and Yuki, but I can deal. I need my agi princess.

anyone else surprised by the amount of love Persona 5 is getting in the 2015 most anticipated thread. In a good way of course
nah, I'm pretty sure once the first gameplay/part member/release date/etc. is released the hype on gaf will reach critical levels and the word "waifu/husbando" will be used at least 20 times per page until the mods threaten bans.
Yeah, it's what I figured. Definitely saving the Yukari/Junpei team-up for the P3 playthrough. The sheer amount of differing VA in the game is going to make me come back to this game constantly, which is nuts. Have little doubt this'll be my most played 3DS game, which says quite a bit.
I wonder something though: I picked the P4 side, so most of the random stops in dungeons and stuff involves banter with them. Is it the opposite if you choose the P3 side? Cause that'd be even more things to see...

P3/P4
PQ is set in the unfortunate timeframe before Junpei and Teddie go from occasionally good to totally awesome.
Speaking of Junpei,
does he make subtle digs at the P3MC over stupid shit, or did they drop that part of his character?

Well, I went P3 side and most of the random dungeon banter has focused on SEES, so I was kinda wondering the opposite. So I guess there's actually a pretty significant difference between the P3 and P4 side.
So far, I'm much more impressed with the main plot of PQ than I thought I'd be. I want to know more about the labyrinths, and what's going on with Rei and Zen. And while the P3 and P4 casts obviously can't develop individually, I think they've done a good job of showing how meeting another similar group can make you think more about yourself.
(But mostly it's just heartwarming.)

Ehhhh... marginally. She really takes effect
after she dies (permanently or otherwise).
It's at the part of the story in P3 where he's (mostly) past that point.
Junpei and Makoto are on good terms with each other in this game. Junpei let go of his resentment/jealousy towards him
Yeah, I really enjoy those too. Having Shinji and Akihiko on the same team gave me this gem of a line:
*Akihiko dies*
Shinji: Tch. How dare you take out Aki!?
It's a really simple line, but the fact that Shinji gets pissed that the shadows took down his best friend just warms my heart.
Junpei is fine in PQ. Really funny actually.
Teddie's just one note at this point and rather boring.

I like having Shinji and Ken in the same party. They have one exchange at the start of some battles that goes something like this:
Shinji: "Be careful."
Ken: "Oh... y-yeah."

Oh god...
Late September for the P3 team (culture festival is mentioned) and late October for the P4 cast (during their culture festival)

Both Teddie and Akihito got replaced with cheap replicants, it's terrible.
Gotcha. Thanks.
...And what little interest I might have had in the game just withered away.
I dunno about Teddie, but at least in the case of Akihiko, it really develops his and Shinjiro's friendship more, so he's not completely destroyed.
It's really cute a lot of times.

The 3rd laberynth is kicking my ass. I'm at the second floor with MC at level 34.
The difficulty escalated quickly on this one, specially because the different shadows seem to work with each other to make the combat really hard and also because some of them are reaaally fast. I really can't advance more than two doors without badly fearing for my progress.

Nah dude
There's plenty of reasons to love Teddie in this game. He's flanderized to hell and back, but he's got some great scenes
Plus you can pair him up with Yu.

Are you saying he's Te-DIE for?

Agreed. The only thing that kinda bugs me about Akihiko in PQ is the protein mentions, the rest of it works well enough with what was established in P3 before he got Caesar. He always seemed a little reckless to me at first. And the bickering with Shinji is nice to see.
You stretched for that one, but I applaud the effort and creativity!
That's somewhat reassuring.
Hmmm....
That said, I'm sadly not all that invested in the core gameplay (and, as I've snarked about many times, the aesthetic), so it's not exactly priority for me. I'll probably get it eventually during one of my dry months though.
Correction: Even though Atlus doesn't attend the show, Sega does. Akin to the "Atlus doesn't attend TGS" sentiment leading to Sega showing off new gameplay for EOIIU and a new P4D trailer at TGS via an Atlus presentation, I suppose the same could occur at a Jump Festa. I'm not sure that's the sort of venue for any big surprises, however.

Thanks. I felt I was standing on pre-bear-ious ground with that one.
EDIT: I'll stop now...

Also, haha, this is the fourth community thread that's been like "don't post any spoilers for persona 5"

The day a trailer comes out revealing all the characters, music, gameplay , story etc will be a glorious day. I think its perfectly fine to discuss whose character design (female or male) you like the most but some people do take it too far.
Never suspected Gaf to have such a large Persona following....or maybe people just want to play an amazing jrpg

So we can assume that some of the P5 OST will be playing?
It's great to have a sneak peek if it does.

Ahhhh that picture is so fucking good. I wasn't too hyped before, but I am now. I'm also really glad Shin's not in this artwork.
