Not to mention friendship is not the central theme. Friendship is important to P4 but the main theme is definitely seeking the truth rather than accepting a convenient lie. Shadow World does touch on the truth thing but more in a general sense. The original theme makes it more about the truth of the self.

Since everyone's doing this and I haven't been posting much
1) Yukari, and it's not even a contest
2) Persona 4 Golden though it's close. P3P and P4AU are very close to it in my mind (but I like Ultimax for very different reasons than I like the other two games). I could easily see myself saying P3 instead if you asked me on another day.
3) The Battle for Everyone's Souls
4) http://youtu.be/PvOOu4uJE08
5) Thanatos
6) Yukari (runner-up being Rise)
7) I didn't really like it. She seems really annoying lol
1) What is your favorite persona character? Yukiko
2) favorite persona game? Persona 4
3) favorite persona song? Changes often, probably Battle For Everyone's Souls
4) favorite persona scene? P3's ending
5) favorite persona? Trumpeter
6) favorite s.link? Hermit from P3
7) What are your thoughts on the Kanamin trailer? Still don't like her design much, fun trailer though.

I thought the Hermit S.link was pretty easily the best in P3, the last few ranks and the post-S.link maxing scene if you
confront Ms. Toriumi in the faculty room

I get the idea that I'd like the Hermit link in P3 a lot more if it only took up the daytime or nighttime, not both.

The hermit S link in P3 is a really cool idea, I'd love to see them revisit the idea of an S link that isn't a face to face interaction.
The payoff at the end of the game is great as well.

Golden's opening only fits better if your take away from P4 was as shallow as possible.
P4's original opening hits all of the high points that Golden's does and actually spends time setting up the game's actual theme. Golden hits "happy fun times with friends" and spends basically no time actually telling you what the game is actually about.
I like how who I presume to be Nanako Kobayashi straight up says she wants to one day be in a leadership role for a new game. Dunno why, but I feel like I should expect cool things from her in the future. It'd be nice to see her become an important person within Atlus.
H.I.'s cool too. I feel like him praising SMTIII and mentioning the dark atmosphere of the Atlus RPGs he grew up with might be hinting at what he's working on.
Here was the GAF thread on that. Since then, the Atlus games that have been announced were:
- Etrian Odyssey Untold II
- Etrian Mystery Dungeon
- Etrian Odyssey V
Unless SMTxFE is internally being referred to as "unannounced" until it resurfaces, I think the only one of those three that could be "surprising" is EMD. He hasn't been involved with EO, though, so that would be surprising. I think you're right, and it's likely that the "surprising" project and H.I.'s thing could be the same.

Cool, this makes way more sense than what Google Translate was giving me last night. Sounds like H.I. is in a pretty cool position too, especially since whatever he's working on is completely unknown to us right now. It'll be cool to find out what that project is, whenever that happens.

1. Chie. Love everything about her, appearance, personality, skill set, personas, EVERYTHING!
2. P4G
3. Blues in Velvet Room
4.
Chidori's death from P3P "BURN IN HELL!!"
6. In P3, Akinari. In P3P, Saori. In P4, Nanako/Dojima (I class it as one link spread over 2 arcana)
7. Meaty Heifer........that is all.
Mobile Suit Gooch
Grundle: The Awakening
1. Marie. *burns*
2. Golden
3. Snowflakes/Changing seasons
4.
That ski-trip where you get lost with someone./ kings game.
6. Naoto
(cause if you romance her, she'll wear that girls yoso' uniform)
It'd be the Dark Souls of cop dramas if we didn't already have True Detective.
1) Yukiko
2) Golden
3) tough, but probably Heaven.
4) probably Kings Game
5) Thoth is the best.
6) Mutatsu from P3, or Akinari.
7) I hope they try and give her a proper backstory, given so little we have seen of her character previously, and she isn't just there to look pretty and never be heard of again. That's probably what will happen though.

1) Junpei. No contest at all.
2) Persona 4 Golden. More content, improved gameplay and portability make the best game in the series even better
3) The Person is Then Called Away From War
4) The aftermath of
Ameno-Sagiri's defea
5) If we're talking generic Personae, then Seth. If we're talking character-specific Personae, then either Trismegistus, Izanagi-no-Okami or Takeji Zaiten
6) A tie between Junpei and Shinji in P3P
7) It was just as unapologetically dumb as I expected, and I'm really excited to see how dumb Kanamin's role in the game is because I enjoy chuckling at dumb things.
1) Marie
2) Persona 4 Arena
3) Persona Revelations battle theme
4) Second hot springs scene
5) Mara
6) Marie
7) Kawaii.
Does Dark Souls also have an incredible lead up to an incredibly unsatisfying ending?
Also he was referencing Hiimdaisy. Not sure if you were aware or not. Or at least I think he was.
1) Yosuke. Japan knows what I'm talking about.
2) Persona 4 Golden. It's also my favourite anything game
3) Way of Life or Heartful Cry
4) Shinjiro cooking for SEES in P3P
5) Mara
Loki
7) "Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha oh." I don't like her right now; which naturally means she'll probably grow on me as the game goes on. As long as there's a point to the fanservice anyway.

Okay, I've decided. I'm going take a crack at posting what your actual list looks like.

As a matter of fact,
it does!
I'm assuming this will skew hugely in one direction(and I'm totally okay with that given my preference), but silly discussion fodder:
VS
Arguably the two most fearsome optional bosses in SMT, excluding maybe DDS2's Satan(who took me a fraction of the time). Who would come out ahead?
Consider the following:
The Demi-Fiend
- Endless army of demons.
- Gets deadlier the closer he is to death.
- Massive, ever-changing elemental resistances.
- Eats gods for breakfast.
- Is Lucifer's top general.
Elizabeth
- Endless army of Personae.
- Equally resistant to all kinds of magic, AND physicals.
(And unlike Hitoshura, earth isn't that useful against her, either.) - Doesn't need demons to take on gods.
- Has a literally endless supply of money.
- Arguably the sharper dresser.
(As far as actual difficulty goes, due to sheer BS- it's easily Hitoshura.
So, we're talking in universe terms.)

Considering how important a good breakfast is for a successful day, I'd probably say the Demi-Fiend.
On a more serious note, I think it could arguably go either way, since the worlds they're in seem to define power in slightly different ways. (Keep in mind I'm a casual scrub who hasn't yet beaten Nocturne.) Particularly with the emphasis on bonds in Persona, and how they open you up to new powers. With this in mind though, I'd still say Demi-Fiend would win, because what I know of Nocturne paints him as somewhat equivalent to the power of bonds in Persona. He starts as a small fry, but he has tons to potential to grow stronger right from the start, without any set limits. Elizabeth has tons of power right at the start, but (P4 Arena)
only recently had the chance to start gaining more.
If nothing else, Demi-Fiend became a god by the time Oreshika came around.
Next week... In game magazines...

Was this confirmed somewhere?
Yeah, Hideki Kamiya said so on Twitter.

Bayonetta confirmed for Persona 5.

Persona 5 actually a code name for Vanquish 2.
Aigis Gear Rising confirmed.
Okay am I reading this wrong or did you just infer that Hideki Kamiya was making a game for Atlus?
Featuring Bayonetta from the Bayonetta series.
He did infer that, and that you should check next week....in games magazines.

Flux would know, I'm pretty sure he works for Platinum.

When I was 12 (this was 49 years ago), I had no idea what "LOL" stood for.
I bravely walked (this is a metaphor) into a random chat room, and timidly asked:
"Excuse me, everyone. I realise this may sound very stupid, but what does 'LOL' mean?"
And you know what everyone said, Weiss? Do you?
"Laughing out loud"
So rude of them. The internet is a bunch of jerks!

In other news, for anyone who missed it, Famitsu's latest list of most wanted games. Persona 5 (PS3) takes second place, Persona 5 (PS4) takes fifth and Persona 4: Dancing All Night takes 13th. Essentially, P5 is still the most anticipated game releasing this year among the Famitsu reader voters, and it might surpass FFXV once its release date looms in.
Also, timeline!

For a second I was wondering what number one would be, of course it's Final Fantasy.
