I'd say it's actually the same scenario, since the P4G re-release website is just a modification to an older version of it. The old version of the Soul Hackers website has been modified the same way, with a promo announcing the "Atlus Best Collection."

Edit: Ah, wait, I missed the part where the old P4G website was actually given another section, so you're right. They did just announce it, though, and the timing of both is pretty unique. I do think that the re-releases might be significant.

I'm being a little pedantic, but the Soul Hackers news is actually a few weeks old: http://www.siliconera.com/2015/01/07/atlus-bringing-best-collection-budget-line-nintendo-3ds/, although that tweet is the first mention of it by Atlus.

Nice. All I'd really want to know is: do you think it was worth it? Do you like it?
Click to expand...

Definitely. It's not super meaty or anything, but they do mention a lot of really interesting stuff in the space they have (in my opinion). I'm getting the CE for Midsummer Knight's Dream too because I think it'll be worth it.

Ah... I must have missed that one. Then yeah, this is technically old (the P4G The Best version had also surfaced a while before its official announcement).

Do you think that this means anything, though? Maybe it really is just a coincidence, but I have to wonder why they had to pick this specific time frame for the re-releases of P4G and DS:SH, heh.

I think it's just a coincidence, both games released very close to each other in Japan (June 14th 2012 for Golden, August 30th 2012 for Soul Hackers), so it makes sense that they'd be announced for a reprint together. I expect SMT IV to get one at some point in the future too.

Yeah, taking more time to think about it, you're probably right. Like you say, P4G and SH 3DS came out just a few months apart from each other, during the same year, so these re-release timings work out.

Damn, and I was totally hoping for something more, too.

Here's something:

A bunch of other stuff I'm seeing, like how they originally wanted to implement "tsuki" into Makoto's name ("moon", in Japanese), how they considered "Sakuya" from the stage play, and how they made changes to the original P3 story since the movies are supposed to be about Makoto Yuki, not as much about his companions like it was in the game. This is just the section about the protagonist, too, so there's probably a whole lot more info I'm not finding. Decided to get the CE for Midsummer Knight's Dream.

They've added this image to p-ch's "Pick Up Contents" section:

Neat. Definitely noticed (and appreciated) the shift to Makoto. It's gonna be sweet seeing that character growth pay off in the final movie. If I had the cash to spare, i'd try to get my hands on that booklet myself. I've always been an information fiend.

EDIT: Ahhhhh, that's right. I almost forgot.

Think of a character and click the choices...and see whether the web genie is able to guess which character you are thinking of.

Just for fun.

A blast from the past indeed, I remember this was the shit when I was what, 13?

And yeah, Oda Nobunaga, nice. This thing is very, very accurate as long as you give your answers honestly.

Edit: AWW you failed me the second time, but the my answer is up in the "possible choices" list when I clicked no.

It even got Saki Konishi right, I am so happy.

I kinda have a love-hate relationship with it. Most tracks I love (Want to be Close, Unavoidable Battle, and especially Deep Breath Deep Breath) but there's one or two that just really rub me the wrong way (the Poem for Everyone's Souls comes to mind). You should definitely try out the Persona 4 Reincarnation album if you haven't already, I'd say it's a bit better pound for pound.

Dantis said:
I like some of the tracks. Want To Be Close is amazing. Full version of Burn My Dread, and Last Battle are also amazing.

The rest are probably weaker than the originals, in my opinion.

There's a Persona 4 one :eek:. I've been missing out.

I like the reincarnation of Memories of You.

This track in the P4 reincarnation took me by surprise, there weren't that much feels in the original.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdgdqlUDFXA

I can totally dance to this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=899kstdMUoQ

Dem sax
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZax6-Af6Bc

Someone please tell me whether or not if this track is actually official, it's Reach out to the Truth with Dream of a butterfly (theme of P1 PSP) in the back ground. I legitimately did a double take the first time I listened to this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVvLkBrURzM

If Detective Conan and Persona did a collab, this is their theme, also dem sax
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCRt3c7Afxg

A very good piano cover of Aria of the Souls
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjOUf6KVyJY

Maya needs some love too, this particular uploader specializes in SMT/Persona piano arrangements, the second is Kitajoh's rearrangement for the bonus CD for the P2EP PSP release
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJv_2T74bdU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UUlE-n_AFU

Special arrangement for the Soul Hacker's battle theme included in the CD.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o9LrXQUQIU

I love Atsushi Kitajoh's arrangements

I can do this for ages, I have like a shitload of persona music on my youtube like list.

It's legit in that Meguro made it. It's from here: http://www.atlusnet.jp/topic/detail/785. He released it as a Christmas gift.

For anyone importing, the Music Box Blu Ray has been delayed from the 28th to the 31st January: http://p-ch.jp/news/detail/?nid=230

If we're posting cool Persona covers, then I'll toss these two out there as well:

Memories of You

Never More

These two are the end themes for Persona 3/4, so tread lightly. The comments may or may not be rife with feeeeeels spoilers.

In the time it took me to copy and paste the URLs, I teared up hearing the songs again. God they're so good.

I wonder what Kazuhisa Wada meant when he said they added a "big new artist" to Persona 4: Dancing All Night. 'Course, he was probably talking about a music artist. I bet we'll find out who soon enough.

Haven't posted in the community for a while but wanted to say that I'll be going to TaiyouCon in Arizona next week. Can't wait to see and listen to some Persona music!

Anyone from Arizona (particularly the Phoenix-Mesa) area that have suggestions on where to eat or things to see? Will have a car so driving's a non-issue.

Thanks!

Since the new 3DS was announced the other day I have been thinking that it was finally time to get a 3DS again for Persona Q Majora's Mask. The only problem is have no money so I would have to trade something in. Gamestop is having a deal where they give me $100 for my PS Vita. Do you guys think it's worth it? The only games I want to play on my Vita are PSP games and PS1 games plus I have Persona 4 but I beat that twice.

Aha, but you're wrong! Sony didn't confirm that at all.


At the time, we all wondered why the wording was so vague. Why would Sony themselves not shout "2015" at the top of their lungs, bolding it and underlining it in order to tout a Sony exclusive that would be making it to their platforms the next year? They did so for the other games, after all. "Following the Japanese release"? Heh...

Haha... Wonder why, huh.
Click to expand...

Not sure why, but I heard that we weren't the only publisher to have a date removed from the PSX keynote. FWIW, we publicly announced 2015 in the press release that went out after the keynote finished.

b-b-b-but Dancing...All Night... I don't envy that choice. I enjoy both systems a lot, but I guess if you don't have a PS4 and don't care about upcoming Vita releases, that may be your best option :(

Do you have any interest in playing Persona 4 Dancing All Night? Because if you do, you should hold on to your Vita.

Alternatively, you can give your Vita to me.

Well, if you haven't played Gravity Rush and Danganronpa, those are things to consider. 3DS has a significantly better library.

For instance:
Persona Q
Etrian Odyssey(s)
Fire Emblem: Awakening
Shin Megami Tensei IV
Soul Hackers
Ace Attorney
Devil Survivor(s)
Kid Icarus: Uprising
Pokemon
Monster Hunter
Bravely Default

Back with an update on my status on Persona 4 Golden!

So I recently beat Rise's shadow
and Teddy's.

I then proceeded to max out Yukiko's Social Link (as well as the support status with my character Robin, hehe).

Days later after that, the next "story arc" appears to be starting (I.e. somebody else shows up on the Midnight Channel). But before that, I was called to the Velvet Room where Igor mentioned something about branching paths, or something along those lines.

So is this the point of the game where the decisions I make from now on start to affect the outcome of the plot? I remember reading that that's not the case until December (or November, IIRC) and I just wanted to be sure before I continued.

That aside though, I wanted to talk about
Teddy's human form. I...honestly don't know how to feel about that. Like, it feels like making Mickey Mouse or Bugs Bunny human. It kinda ruins the mascot aspect. Like...it's not BAD, but it feels really distracting seeing that character design and saying "Hey! That's Teddie!"

But I digress. It doesn't ruin the game in any way and I've still been enjoying Persona 4 a lot.

You'll probably get used by the end of the game.

As for myself,
I actually prefer his human form. I don't like mascots. And he is fabulous. XD

No. You're safe until like, November-December area. Igor's letting you fuse more than 2 Personas at a time, that's all.
