PQ alludes to events of max links ----> where is this? I haven't encountered any such
does it happen later on in the game? I just started 4th dungeon Inaba pride.
Just finished Persona Q; was pretty impressed overall by how good the story was, since I wasn't expecting much from it in that regard. I was expecting the story to be less significant or relevant in PQ compared to P4A, but it's certainly better than that of the Arena series. Makes me wonder if P4D could surprise me that aspect, but I doubt it...
I prefer Zen and Rei to Labrys and Sho, too.

I thought the scene at the
Aerospace Museum in P2
Eternal Punishment to finish his run as a Persona writer
If only he had that pairing tho...

And elec weakness to charming prince
Eternal Punishment is the better plot, so I can only assume Tadashi's removal was a good thing.

Yeah, at the same level I barely got by at in P4 Vanilla I pretty much steam rolled in P4G. It certainly didn't hurt that I had a ton more healing items and more hp/sp thanks to SOS and better shuffle cards (why is this called shuffle anymore you pick what you want...). The boss also seemed to do less damage, take more damage, and telegraphed it's signature attack which made guarding much easier. Yeah I was a bit smarter this time and was able to fuse a fire resist/physical resist/red wall/hysterical slap persona for the fight but even my allies were rarely put below 100 hp.
I find it weird to be complaining about how "easy" the game is because it's still challenging, just compared to how brutal certain elements of P3 FES and P4G were this game feels far more main stream and stream lined so that a larger audience can play it without rage quitting.

Yeah, I actually spent money on dry ice and had yosuke and the MC chuck it at the boss constantly.
Well, I kind of like it better. I like my personas to not be that hard, if I want my SMT games to be hard, I'll play a mainline one generally.

Yosuke's max link event. The fight is link 10, link 9 is where he talks about his thoughts meeting you at the hills overlooking the town
It definitely popped up somewhere during in dungeon talks or strolls, can't remember where.
Oh and look what I found.

I really wouldn't put any serious thought into PQ's lack of upgraded Personas. They made them into a gameplay mechanic, and that's it. I wouldn't seriously consider the canonicity of them at all.
Holy crap.

Among all the things I just couldn't get how Marge regenerates her cards (8) as fast as people with 4 cards.
Ahhh, I really want to go this year. So many games I wanna enter in (Smash 4, Marvel, P4U2, MAAAAYYYBE Xrd and Melee...).
just finishing up Q. Somethings just came to mind
was more love put into Q than Ultimax? I feel Ultimax was kinda rushed and felt more like a Arc Systems story than it did from Atlus themselves. Ultimax was cool and all but Q was just great in every other way. The OST was perfect from start to end.

Especially the part where the girl chases you in the Evil Spirit Club.

So... getting 4 things signed isn't excessive, is it?
Considering when it takes place, this doesn't surprised me in the least.

Welll thats what I meant >.>
(Normal difficulty!)
In the case of persona where the longer you spend in dungeons=the less time you socialize and stuff, I cant justify playing on hard. All that precious S-Link time!
I like it! Although he looks almost scared, or surprised.

Great art! Reminds me of the P3MC's awakening scene.

Anyone here using the XL to play Persona Q?
Are you bothered in anyway by the fact that NA won't have a normal N3DS option and you're stuck with the XL model?
I am seriously thinking about just getting an Australian N3DS because I dislike playing JRPGs on that huge pixellated XL screen. But I fear DeSu Break Record won't have an EU release given the Overclocked fiasco. The fact that PQ came out in EU so quickly gives me hope but DeSu and SMT IV really hit hard.

I'm playing through Persona 3 Portable again but this time with the male route since I only played the female route years ago. Anyone know what changes they've made from FES for the male route? Do I still have to be forced into that harem situation like in FES?
I've noticed that you don't have access to all of the weapons and can't use fusion spells.
God, male route is so goddamn mopey.

Of all the upcoming games, Break Record Breaker is the one that I'd be the most worried about not getting a timely EU release. John Hardin has mentioned that he's looking into it, but that doesn't really mean much in terms of guaranteeing a fast release.
I prefer the XL regardless, but I've found the benefits of not having to worry as much about delayed localisations, as well as a cheaper eshop, made an NA system worth importing over buying an EU region one.

I will accept nothing less than Kanji for the velvet room attendant in P5.
Thanks guys. He probably looks almost scared because of the pupil haha.
I have listed some change in P3P from FES, but you might already know most of them through your female playthrough.
- Harem situation still applies.
- Only one-handed sword for MC.
- Fusion spells are available as items. They can be obtained through gems or requests.
- Elizabeth's requests are different. No more Fusion Spell requests, but there are missing people requests.
- Inari Sushi in Naganaki Shrine now gives a duplicate of one of your skill cards instead of allowing you to increase money and item drop, etc. in Tartarus.
- No more midnight time slot, so after you go to the arcade or karaoke at night, the game will move on to the next day.
- You can save your game in the school desk after school.
- No anime cutscenes.

No, as in they're still there but that stuff he mentions is in all of them, defeating their purpose.

Did Yosuke seriously just ram an enemy with his moped. That makes so terrifyingly little sense that I don't know where to begin. Even in a game that justifies weapons and armor as being "hid in their uniforms" I absolutely can't rectify the idea of someone getting their scooter inside the TV. No. No. No, I cannot. That is the stupidest fucking thing.

That was one of the better points in the P4GA. THEY KNOW how dumb it is, so just passed it off as one of Yu's fantasy moments.
Even Yosuke said it was dumb XD
Chie can kick a shadow into the fucking stratosphere. Kanji can drag a desk into the TV world. Naoto (a minor in Japan) carries a loaded gun. Absolutely none of those things can be justified. There just comes a point where you have to segregate gameplay from canon. The scooters are absolutely a gameplay thing.
It's like the enormous plot hole in Persona Q (dungeon 2):
Shameful. Only found out about this recently when watching videos, because that wasn't an option with the P4MC as the P3MC, and
.
Also, there are a ton of those. Persona Q's pretty awesome.
How is it that a character can carry another, when they're about to get married, when their hands are stuck together?

I didn't do anything special this weekend. Who is this "lotus juice" person? Must be really popular...(*troll*)
A large amount of the new content in The Golden is super, super dumb.
Wait until you start getting to the new events. Hoo boy.

I don't remember being even remotely bothered by this. I always felt like the "dumb" stuff was fine because it felt self-aware in its dumbness.

The bit where P4GA made fun of it was literally the greatest moment in the entire show.
I don't even understand, man. Literally everyone I talked to loved that addition and thought it was hilarious when it came out of nowhere. This is the same game where Kanji brings a damn chair to a fight.
I think you take Persona too seriously than Persona does itself.
It bothered me slightly too. I mean, they go through the trouble early of saying how they "sneak" weapons into Junes, but the idea of "sneaking" a scooter is ridiculous. It's not a bad ridiculous, but it's silly all the same. 
It's one of those "additions" that probably doesn't need to be there, really. Scooters open up a new town to go, and that should have probably been it. It's inclusion is just another thing that makes an already easy game even easier.
