similar to getting costumes / parts in Project DIVA,
Why would you assume that they were all paid DLC?

similar to getting costumes / parts in Project DIVA,

I'd have thought that all the costumes we've seen in trailers are in the base game.
Because we've already seen some costumes as DLC, so naturally assumed the idea would continue. Would also point out if glasses in a fighting game are DLC, well...
Never played any of the DIVA games though.
I hope this means the characters section will be updated with their official P4D art works this Friday.
Btw. they say you use these points do buy costumes and items. What kind of items could that be? I don't know Project DIVA, so maybe you could already get items there.

Might be next Friday, most of the Ultimax ones were the week after the Famitsu feature.
I'm curious about items too, maybe items to make it harder to fail songs or "cheats" like that.

You can get items in Project DIVA that help with not failing a song, but they deduct points.

I assume it's a similar practice to that.

Ha, good point! Always thought that was an Arks thing, but I don't know.
-------------------
Also, saying all this. No idea on how much of Dingo's influence will carry over so Atlus might have their own ideas for items, costumes etc... But I think it's reasonable to assume it will follow a similar format. There are also items in the DIVA games for customising a room (posters, tables, chairs, desks, plants, etc) something that might be in this game too.

I remember when people were angry at the mere existence of DAN, I'm glad people finally saw the light.

With the Love Live mobile game getting more and more popular, I think that helped ease a few people into the idea.
Whatever the reason, I'm glad too.
i really doubt that had anything to do with it.

It's not really that simple. Very few people were inherently against the concept of P4D initially. It's extremely important to not ignore the context P4D was announced in, because that's what brought the ire. If you look back at the NeoGAF Nov. 24, 2013 Persona thread, the P4D announcement thread, or the PersonaGAF IRC chat logs, a lot of people were unhappy with what was going on when P4D entered the fray for a multitude of reasons (chibi Persona 3DS spin-off, the entire build-up to the live stream, the 72-hour live stream itself, the fact that the finale of the stream occurred very early in the morning for most and that it was filled with trolling...).
The whole thing was crazy, along with people's mental states. After P5 was announced and the stream ended, the overall opinion for P4D immediately became "oh, alright, cool."
See:
- P4D announcement thread page 1 to post #108.
- Everything after page 5.
Looking back on it, I might have been overestimating how quickly the opinions settled, but it is noticeable, and the confusion/frustration cooled down really quickly. Looking back on the archives, it seems even you were down on P4D right when it was announced.

Right, so people are incompetence to judge whether they like something during a busy announcement
Confusion, frustration, their opinion still changed.
We'll just call it stream-fatigue induced indecisiveness.

The initial announcement for PQ and PDAN was so great, especially when there's no indication that P5 will be announced alongside with it.
One of my top streaming experiences.

it was a very surreal night. Still expected P5 stuff at the end though.

I won't deny that the way it was announced certainly played into how people reacted, once P5 was announced people definitely seemed more into the idea. As someone who was excited the minute it was announced I just found the anger at the game for not being P5 and the hostility in general to be pretty funny.
Antiwhippy

Me too, but seeing everyone else freakout sure was fun.
Also seeing everyone getting pissed off at teddie was great too.

Finished Persona 4 Golden.
Even though I've finished P4 long ago, watched the anime, etc, so everything's fresh, but damn, the feels is so strong.

The two games being completely unexpected had a big influence on the reactions, too. Very few were complaining or were angry at the P4AU segment since a console release was expected, for example. In fact, the reactions to it were fairly positive.
That's probably part of why the emotional roller coaster for last month's event was more subdued in comparison. We generally knew what to expect this time both in terms of the stream (they even gave us a schedule beforehand) and what they would show (except for pessimists not expecting a Persona 5 unveil).
Glad they brought back the elderly reporter. She's essentially the Igor of Persona announcement live streams, now.

I didn't stay up for that November stream mind you, but I remember that the title I was least excited for was actually PQ. Kinda funny looking back on it, because unless DAN is really fun, PQ is going to end up being my favourite by a fair margin.

Hey, guys! It's been a while since I posted in the thread, but today, I finally posted my full P5 PV#01 trailer analysis, after watching it many times. I was going to post it here, but I was really busy when I wrote it, and it was really long to write here, so I posted it on my website. I hope this isn't a problem, but, you can read it here.
I hope everyone enjoys the analysis, and please feel free to tell me what you think. I took some time writing it, as well as getting the images, translating some of the UI menus, etc. Once again, I apologize for not posting it here, but on my site, instead.

P4's ending will always give me the feels. It's such a nice way to wrap up the story.

For a second I forgot that the reactions to PQ were equally ridiculous, it's crazy to me that people would think we weren't getting something P5 related from that stream and that PQ was all we would get.
The midnight channel events is something that I sorely missed in the last stream, it was fun during the November stream to slowly realise how serious Atlus was about those announcements and the speculation was a nice time filler for the more dull stuff on the stream. God, that November stream was so good.
Bring on the Persona 6 stream!

Nice.
I used to buy Kubrick's years ago, did they do other Persona Kubrick's or was it just the Teddie Bearbrick?
If there's a set I'm probably going to spend a stupid amount of money to get them.

Lucky for you (and myself), I only saw just the Teddie Bearbrick on AmiAmi so it's the only one I know of so far.
The only other Bearbrick I have is Alphonse from FMA.

Can I leave out Rei & Zen from my party? Or are they like Metis, where I shouldn't ignore them because they'll be forced onto me eventually?

I still think the idea is silly, but at the same time it's the spinoff that makes the most sense. The music in P3 and P4 is constantly praised and people love it to the point where various concerts are run, so a rhythm game spinoff is something that I can understand.
The main thing that I initially thought was perhaps a bit to far in the silly direction was that it would be cannon, but I quickly came around to thinking that it's silly in a way I can enjoy.
I think P4A is the spin-off that makes the most "sense" because a fighting game just seems like the most logical place to go when it comes to these things, but both PQ and P4D work fantastically, as well. They mentioned how one of the concepts behind P4A was something like applying Soejima's art to full motion/interactivity, and that the same applied to P4D for Meguro's music.
P4D still seems like the silliest of them all, but that's fine. Silly isn't necessarily bad, and it's something I would want out of spin-offs which aren't meant to be taken seriously.
I really want to see that art style applied in full 3D. No doubt we'll see that with Persona 5, but perhaps a GGXrd style sequel in the future as well?
Anyone know when the P4D scans will drop?
They did say that, but it wasn't really followed through on.
It really doesn't look much like Soejima's art, particularly in motion. P4D looks much more Soejima than Arena, and ironically, it also has less original Meguro music than Arena. So Atlus kind of got it backwards.

Yeah, fighting game certainly tends to be the standard route a game series will take when looking to branch out so I can certainly see that being the first thing that would come to mind when looking into spinning of the series into other genres. I just remember thinking that DAN was a pretty genius decision that made perfect sense as the music is such a core part of the recent persona games identity.
As you say, silly is something I would like to see in the spin-offs, I've always seen spin-offs as the perfect excuse to get more silly as you're more or less free to do what you want. I think that is part of why I found the Arena games disappointing, they kind of followed a more normal narrative rather than something that gives them a bit more freedom to try some odd stuff. I'm excited to see how the story in DAN shapes up as I'm interested to see how they decide to approach such a nonsensical premise.

Tomorrow around 3pm GMT probably
So I was looking at some old articles related to Dancing, and I found this: http://www.siliconera.com/2013/12/02/persona-4-dancing-night-begins-rise-starts-working-idol/
It lists a few tracks in the game, including True Story, which doesn't appear on the current list of songs included.
I'm wondering if it was cut, or if it's just not been revealed yet, which would make it likely that there are other unrevealed tracks.
Also: http://gematsu.com/2013/12/persona-4-dancing-all-night-story-characters-detailed this stats that the game has over 30 tracks, whilst we only currently have 29

That's weird, because I would assume that any and all changes to the game would have been because of the whole Dingo kerfuffle. But I don't see how that would affect the track list, of all things.
Interesting to note, either way.
Looking good! From what I've seen so far, I think I'm going to like Yukiko's dance style the most. Yu's style is a close second.
Yukiko not goin' down without a fight, I see. Her idea for Persona 4 x Innkeeper got rejected, so now she's gotta make the most of her time in P4D

Gotta style all over the haters' balls.
Is anyone able to access the higher resolution version of the pictures in that article?
Usually I'm able to see the higher resolution versions through their gallery just fine, but this time the only one I could get is this:
Through their tweet. The gallery images just appear blank for me.

Famitsu always uses ridiculously low resolution pictures for their articles.

I tried the same thing, the gallery didn't show anything. Maybe they'll fix it.
well Vita's region free anyway. I played SRWZ3.1 on it, so at least that much of your quest works.

So we've seen Yu, Rise, Kanamin and Yukiko with alt costumes (non DLC), and so far we've had Summer clothes, Halloween, Beach, Butler and Yu's Dojima alt.
Who do you think the next trailer will be for and what alts will they have?
I predict Yosuke and he'll have full Junes apron.
