Yes. In P3,
you can actually one-shot the Strength/Fortune boss by hitting the "fear" spot on the wheel and inflicting that status on it, then following it up with Ghastly Wail. All other bosses are immune to the effect.

Wait enemies can run out of SP in Persona 4? LOL that's funny never seen that happen before
I think it's fine in PQ since the designs are still largely coming out of Atlus. The style I'm fine with... it's the designs...
So has anyone posted anything related to Live2D? Basically it's a program for using intelligent warps and distortions of 2D image layers to give the appearance of them being 3D geometry (you'd be able rotate around the drawing with 360° of rotation). At bare minimum, it can be hybridized with 3D models to have much more detail for facial expressions. I think it would be neat to see a lot of Atlus's art run through this, especially Kaneko's.
Himukai's been working almost exclusively with Atlus these past few years, so while he's technically freelance, he might as well be on their payroll.

I don't have a problem with chibi style in and of itself. But I thought PQ was a different artist than EO?
All the PQ redesigns are Soejima himself.
Which explains why Nanako isn't belly dancing for Yu in the game's beginning, really.
i've been wondering this too. I get Persona 5 news, a New 3DS XL, and Majora's Mask all in Feb.

Playing these Persona games I'm slowly starting to recognize all the Persona avatars I see around GAF :O

Tatsuya appearing in P4D performing Persona Ondo would make the game for me.
A pivotal scene plays out in P4D where the Investigation Dance Team is cornered and can't dance their way out of their overwhelming odds this time. Rise falls and all hope seems lost when, suddenly, this starts playing and a familiar face jumps into the fray...
This should be in the P4D OT.
Did you ever get that Nocturne/Lucifer's Call problem sorted out?

Tough crowd at the end of that video.
My friend kept trying different things and got to the end but put off the final boss battle.

Had a chance to ask the burning question that's on the mind of every Persona fan while at TaiyouCon to Lotus Juice: "it's burn my dread." Not burn my bread.

The SLink FM commentary for the Persona 3 movie was pretty good. I hope they do this for the other movies.

The way Ultimax's story mode is structured is so much better, I wish they'd done the same in Arena.

Evokers are so dumb, the movie just makes it even more ridiculous
This isn't the question. It's established that because Naoto's a detective, and detectives are allowed(?).
No, the REAL question is why the hell Naoto brings that thing to school. @_@

Naoto having a real gun is sonething too out of place. I mean, she is 15 years old and she has no status as an official detective. She just collaborates with the Police iirc. She shouldn't be allowed to use or carry it. Unless Japanese rules about it are much more permissive than I had antecipated.
Well, we really have no idea on what kind of special privileges having that family name has. If I had to guess, that was the out to enable her to have her weapon. I'm just more blown away finding out she takes that thing to school. I mean, I guess if you have it you may need it at any time, but yikes, lol.
Oh, and apparently the guy is making a series of these.
Did you see that Shinji?
Naoto being able to carry a real gun is one of the many, many immersion breaking *Persona things.*
Not unlike:
-Yosuke bringing 2 weapons in a food court
-Mitsuru explaining to Makoto that the evokers are for "self-defense" (if you ask her why they're carrying "guns")
-Yosuke bringing 2 bikinis with him to the school campout
-Hanako's appearance in operation "Up close and personal."
-Kashiwagi's existence
It's best not to think too hard about it.

I assume that everyone has their own headcanon on these things anyway.
Mine is that her grandfather taught her how to use a firearm and then gave her one of his own when she was competent enough. I mean, it's a freaking revolver! That's an old person gun if ever I've seen one.
Plus, when does she take it to school? I don't remember anything like that!

Oh yeah, dont know why that never clicked with me.
I wonder if the ammo is real though? Arena shows her shooting people (albeit persona users) and them not dying (P3 spoiler)
sorry shinji
Yes, I know Arena's gameplay isn't exactly the most concrete place for canon evidence, I'm just having fun here.
I don't think Persona Q works here. Haven't played the P4 side, but wouldn't that reasoning also infer Yu takes a katana, Yosuke takes daggers, Yukiko brings her hand fan, etc. to school as well?
Yeah, it kind of is the Persona 1 problem again, with people suddenly having weapons I guess. Naoto's case is just jarring in that she pulls it out pre-dungeon, while no one else apparently has a weapon(though again suddenly do inside). Doesn't Yosuke even call attention to her having the gun with her in the first place when she does pull it out before storming the room?

She was packing heat during the culture festival. Inaba would be a horrible place to live.
I'm okay with chibi art style, just don't like the way it gets implemented from time to time. Bravely Default had great art, but one or two sketchy costumes.
Because Naoto is just a kid who wants to be a grown up. So she's packing heat in case a case opens in the middle of math.
Yosuke brought those bikinis because Yosuke is man's best friend and he was going to provide you with fanservice by any and all means necessary.
I don't remember what Naoto is equipped with, but in PQ Margaret finds some junk in the supply closet and gives it to your team. Yu has a golf club, for instance. Kanji, Chie and Yukiko's weapons are fairly easy to sneak in to school since Kanji can grab a chair anywhere, Chie is wearing shoes and a fan fits snugly into a bookbag.
Yosuke I think starts off with some wrenches, so he can get that stuff on campus. Teddie I got no idea, tho.
Thanks! We haven't talked about it, but I'd love to do the rest, personally. I'm a little disappointed they don't seem to be interested in dubbing them though.
My headcanon is that none of them actually use the weapons and it's a concession made for gameplay.

What gets me is that Yosuke brought those bikini's to the trip in the event that they would owe him a favor.
His plan hinges on so many circumstances:
-Yukiko and Chie fucking up their meal plan
-Kanji being stupid/insecure enough to run out of the tent
-Yukiko and Chie being paired up with Hanako
(Note: He was directly responsible for #2, and arguable for #1)
I know it's a dumb gag scene, but when you really think about it, it's really fucked up. This is some Death Note level planning (and he got the right sizes, jesus christ)
Yosuke: Deplorable idiot, or brilliant mastermind?

Aren't you overthinking this? I just took it as him wanting to see the girls in a swimsuit, knowing that they'd have the opportunity to swim at the school trip. He'd know that they'd make an excuse like "We forgot our swimsuits," so he got those as insurance. The rest just gave them more of a reason to concede.
Ganzlinger

I think the problem with that is a few things. Where does he even have the swimsuits on him all that time, and how did he know what sizes to actually buy?
Trust me, Brosuke is an expert guessing swimsuit sizes for high school girls. lol
Noooo that's the opposite of immersion.
I always thought she didn't know what to say and came with the least lame excuse possible hoping that Makoto's Academics was still default zero lol.
I think you misunderstood the intent of that post. It was tongue-in-cheek.

The "goofy anime high schooler high-jinks" scenes tend to bring out the worst in P4. Campout, king's game, hot springs, just, ugh.
