Oh man, I think I might have the worst one. I was playing P4 and it was the doctor scene: the one where they're talking about the girls measurements. My dad (who is a super Christian) walks in the second Rise says, "And having modestly sized breasts like yours makes it easier to wear a kimono."
There was nothing. Silence, for a good 20 seconds, nothing going on but the music.
And that is why I will never use auto advance on a Persona game ever again.

Huh, i was under the impression they could because the TV world was
"leaking out" with the red fog

Wait, is ultimax not a continuation of arena story-wise?
Haven't played any of them.

ultimax story picks up immediately following arena
No. What they say about evokers and summoning is in P4A, which takes place in the Midnight Channel.

Ah alright, I dunno why I read some of the comments like they weren't the same storyline.

Oh really? I just remember Yukari making her statement when in the chopper with Kikuno, Ken, and Labrys

Akihiko mentions not needing an evoker in the prologue section of his Arena story. fyi

Ah, ok. Arena's story is a blur to me, minus Labrys' story, but that's because i got fed up with the convoluted story modes and skipped through half of them :/

Really loving these comics using Glasses-kun's "new" personality. I honestly can't wait to see some of the dialogue options we'll have in P5.

I find it funny that in 99% of the images Potter gets along with Minato, but trolls the fuck out of Yu.

I think it's the whole "delinquent" thing. Like, Makoto wouldn't give a shit, and may even join in cause why not, but Yu's gonna realize something's going on and take action against it

That smug fucker. I love him so much.
Apparently Sly Cooper gets along better with Jesus than he does Archie Andrews
Those are beautiful, happy birthday!
My parents don't care either, they only do near my birthday and christmas cause they don't know what to get me. The only series they know I'm into is Pokemon, but that's because it's the only one I've been playing since I was 6.
I think parents have some sort of instinct that gets them to walk in when something awkward is happening, only when something awkward is happening.

That's amongst the reasons why I prefer handhelds to home consoles.

Imagine how I felt having to explain Bayonetta to my mom (thankfully she's cool and all so she didn't care)

I hope this "P5 guy does the WRRRYYYYYYY pose" thing becomes a thing.

3 is the next best thing to go for. Arena continues from both 3 and 4 in the story mode, and it spoils quite a bit of 3.
For 3, you've got FES on the PS2/PS3 classics which has a full 3D overworld like in 4, but you can't control party members directly, or there's P3P on the PSP, which gives you direct control and an optional female route, but lacks exploration and anime cutscenes.

Play 3 for sure, the gameplay can be frustrating but it is still good despite that. Get arena ultimax, and the DLC that has Arena's whole story.

Play 3 for sure, it will have certain things that you'll find frustrating coming from P4 but it's a fantastic game that's stronger than P4 in some regards. If you finish P3 and would like to see more of the P3 and P4 cast then I'd say check out the Arena games and Persona Q.

Atlus founded as a company.
April 1st, 2014:
Atlus becomes a separate entertainment software division, disassociated from Index Corporation. As a result, Atlus creates a nifty new logo for the company as a symbol of a renewed independence and aspirations towards the future. Hashino writes a pep talk for the fans about how Atlus lives on.
April 1st, 2015:
SEGA Corporation and SEGA Networks merge to create SEGA Games, of which Atlus will be under management after the company's group structure reform.
April, apparently an important date for Atlus. Next year's going to be the company's 30th anniversary (and Persona's 20th), which is cool. This year's gonna be Devil Summoner's 20th and Trauma Center's 10th (and Radiant Historia's 5th).

AU has a DLC that lets you play all of Arena's story mode? That's cool I guess I can just skip Arena then

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't April the start of the new tax year? (At least in the States, not sure about Japan). Would explain why there are so many restructuring efforts happening then. Hopefully things have calmed down at Atlus, even after the most recent changes at Sega.
As an aside, I really enjoy reading Hashino's messages to the community. He always seems like a genuine guy who really takes pride in his work. This quote from his pep talk in particular stuck out to me:

I'm hoping for an eventual Platinum Games Persona game, similar to MGR in terms of gameplay. Or maybe a Dark Souls styled action JRPG. Only just because i really suck at fighting games and i'm incredibly salty that for once there's a real-time combat, action focused Persona game and i can barely play it :/
Play Persona 3. It'll be a bit harder to get into because combat will be a bit dated compared to P4, but the story is WELL worth it. Although i'm biased here, since i prefer Persona 3 over Persona 4.
Pick up Ultimax and get the Persona 4 Arena story DLC for $10. It makes the original P4A irrelevant since you can just by the story mode for P4A with Ultimax, making Ultimax the "definitive version". But, it will heavily spoil both P3 and P4, so play P3 first if you don't want to be spoiled

Also, i came across the P3P Vocal Arrangement the other day on YouTube, and both Danger Zone and Burn My Dread remixes sound like they would make great P4: DAN tracks, minus the vocals (although i wouldn't mind them)

I don't know about that, but Sega's fiscal year 2014 and 2015 end at the end of March, so that would explain why new business structure stuff would hit at the beginning of April, since it would be the start of their new FY.
Following poll #007 where 73% of people guessed wrong ("Will Persona 5's release date be announced on February 5th?"), I'm curious what people think about a related one: poll #008: "When will Persona 5's Exact, Japanese Release Date be Announced?"

My guess is June 25th, 2015 as that's when P4D will ship out with the Persona 5 long-form movie. I have it on import, and I'm giving Mystic my extra copy I ordered accidentally, so we will report back with our findings.
Well, a release date is pretty much the very last thing that Atlus would want to initially keep exclusive to a small subset of people; that would be terrible marketing. I really don't think there's any way that it would be announced through the special movie disc, just for the people who got first-print copies of P4D.
I'm feeling April, for some reason.
I voted April 2015, assuming no simulatious release. I was deciding between April, May, and June, but April seems like a good time to announce it because it's not too late into the year.
Probably way too early to be talking about spinoffs, but it would be interesting if the P4 and P5 crew didn't get along. Especially if the P4 crew is 5 years older than they were in P4 if this game does take place in 2016.

Voted April, because that seemed like the best amount of time to allow them to get some more media exposure for P4D, but not so much so that people start worrying about P5.
TheMrPliskin

I'm thinking May, that gives them a few months to put focus on DAN and then sometime in May they could do a fairly low key release date announcement as they'll have a big blowout of info in June when the Blu Ray is out.

So looking though seems the must buy DLCs are the 3 DLC characters (Marie, Margaret, and Adachi) along with the P4A campaign.

Voting June, although I have a feeling that we'll get something significant on 5/5/15, which could be the release date.
I hope we get a new Devil Summoner or Trauma Center. PLEASE
that would definitely be a good date for a brand new trailer + release date. If they don't do something I would be shocked.

I guess it's due to P4's "milking" by Atlus. Potter is the new Robin Hood bringing balance to the world. lol

If so, it was after the reveal of Arsene; he was getting his unannounced girls taken from him by Swag-Yu before.
