I love how fleshed out the SH characters are. More games need NPC portraits.

P4U2's artbook came out today in Japan. Sho has seemingly some quite cool rejected designs.
Did you speak to the
Moel Gas Station Attendant
Actually I think about dating Ken in P3P just to see how weird it is.
Did anyone get Koromaru as their destined partner? How does that turn out?
Now I will feel you judging me when the decision arrives. Can't deal with that. I'll go with Shinji then.
I can't even fathom dating Ken in P3P. It's the one part of that side of the game I can't do. I date every other option, including Aigis, but no way on the Ken option. I shut him down the minute he even tries to steer things in that way.
Maybe when FeMC is freed from her position as the seal on the door of taco bell's cannon then she will date Bishoken.

How long would it be until we get it over here?
P4 art book (Japan) = October 8, 2008
P4 art book (NA) = September 11, 2012
P4A art book (Japan) = September 26, 2012
P4A art book (NA) = December 10, 2013 (approximately, because of delays and weird stuff)
We'd probably need to wait one year minimum for it.
B-but I want it now...
Sadly, we can't have everything we want. You want the art book, I want a Platinum games developed, Vanquish inspired, Aigis spinoff.

If I remember correctly, my destined partner in PQ was Naoto
I'm not going to start a new save file just to change my destined partner, no matter how disappointed I am in it.
Other than that, PQ's fantastic, although I've set it down until Finals are over. Almost finished with the P4 story, I'll prolly hit the P3 story next year.
even though I was shooting for Chie.

You do know that you can redo the destined partner thing in the same playthrough right?
Just go to the first quiz room again.
burn it all to the fucking ground

At least I can eventually get the artbook, youre kinda screwed
Pretty sure you also need to max her social link. Can't think of anything else really.
Oh god, I saw it, too. That's certainly... interesting?

You know, I don't think the translation process is what takes up that much time. I guess the problem is the licensing behind the books as well as the actual production.

Oh god damn it, now I am curious too. PM would be appreciated.
Edit: Thank you guys!
Holy Shit. That's not what I expected.
Ditto!

Can I get a PM?
I just saw those concepts.
The first picture at least retain some decency, but the second one is full blown 'wat'.
I don't know whether I prefer spy Koromaru or badass Koromaru and his lovely wife...
It's clear that Soejima just wanted to go all-out crazy with these character designs—at least with the Ken/Koromaru duo—until he inevitably acquiesced to another's plea, unlike with Akihiko and Mitsuru.
So what I'm seeing are:
Ken concept 1: A more standoffish looking Ken with an open uniform ala Yu Narukami, with slick(er) hair combed back and a sort of pendant. He also has an open trench coat. His student council status is maintained, considering his red armband.
Ken concept 2: A Nazi-ish looking Ken, with a worryingly amused smile. Has the black leather cap, black leather gloves, jacket, boots... Holding a single whip stretched across both hands.
Koromaru concept 1: A much rougher looking Koromaru, with multiple scars and a rugged expression. Has a red scarf. Next to him is his mate...? A couple of puppies next to her who look like Koro, both with red scarves as well.
Koromaru concept 2: Seems to go along with Ken concept 2. Wearing a black leather dog uniform. Has an eye patch (seriously...?). Um, might have an Aigis style huge gatling gun attached to the right side of a red band around his waist, with a canon attached to its left side... Is this a photoshop?
Sho concept 1: Wearing a slightly open, fur camo jacket, revealing his dog tag necklace above his black undershirt. Has multiple piercings. Was obviously always intended to be of the "rebellious" sort.

Koromaru with a gatling gun is just crazy. He looks like Solid Snake with those eyebrows and eyepatch haha.
Beta Sho looks weird with his fashion sense and I'm glad we got a normal Ken as a final design.

Both of those Koro concepts make me feel profoundly ripped off.
Sho's concept doesn't look too bad. It's fitting for a vagrant.
Though it makes me wonder, maybe the biker!Ken was a concept for his shadow?
Edit:
Eyepatch Koromaru IS Diamond Dog!

Eyepatch Koromaru should join Big Boss.

I wanna see beta Koro! PM please!
Greatness.
Okay. (deep breath)
Beta Sho wore capris
Beta Sho. Wore. Capris.
I think I actually would like the old Sho better if not for the oversized army jacket. If they got rid of that, I think it would do well to show that he was ultimately a regular kid with an unresolved past as opposed to how he comes across as a larger-than-life Ronin reject in the final version.

It always seemed weird to me how normal Ken and Koro were compared to the other P3 members; so those are their original designs, huh. Awww, Koro was supposed to had babies!
