Most people's reactions. Some dismiss it for its high school setting, because it's too "anime," or because it's about teenagers, but they play it and then realize that was misguided.

You can buy P3P for the vita, not P3FES

Persona 3 Portable (the PSP version in which you can directly control allies and choose the gender of the main character but lacks 3D models and anime cutscenes) is available on Vita PSN for $20. At least in North America
I never actually dismissed the games, but I never got around to picking them up because I always thought an RPG in a modern high school setting wasn't going to be that interesting compared to a fantasy world. Sadly, like most people, I also assumed the characters were going to be nothing more than walking cliches so my interest wasn't there.
Now I'm wishing I could go back in time and slap myself for being an idiot. I could have been playing this a lot sooner D:

I was just like "okay it's only $10 let's see the hype why not"

Happy holidays Persona-gaf!
I bought P4
AN off PSN as a christmas gift to myself (& 'cas It's on sale) & Rise's new VA is already freaking me out.
I've played half a dozen songs so far & It's probably not a good sign that I'm having this much trouble on easy. Don't think I've ever played a pure rhythm game before, maybe I'll get more used to it with time.
I keep thinking about how I'll have played P5 by this time next year
but then again I thought that same thing last year!

Well for the vita you can get P1, P2IS, P3P, P4G and P4DAN.
So however much space that takes, GET THE BIGGEST MEMORY CARD YOU CAN AFFORD!
Funyarinpa

Does P4DAN have English VA?
Reanimatoin
Member
Yup, and it's the same cast as PQ/Ultimax with the exception of Laura Bailey (Rise) being replaced by (we think) Ashly Burch.
She's not great

I don't call mine a Persona Box for nothing.

Yep, I wanna buy all those... P4G and P4DAN are physical but those other 3... Is the 8gb memory card enough? Do I need the 32gb????
Reanimatoin
Member
The thing with the vita is, if you use it, it will get full, because there is a deceptively large amount of great games for the system.
The only downside is the memory cards are ludicrously expensive, so it's either shell out for a big memory card (or hope for a sale), or get used to deleting stuff.
Also, dont forget, even if you have a physical game, it still has to install.

No Laura Bailey in a game that Rise is one of the protagonists?
I pretty much enjoyed PQ/Ultimax new VAs. I have no concern about them.

Into the back burner it goes, I am utterly charmed by Rise right now (first P4G playthrough) and I'd really not want her VA to change oh well

Ok, so......
Persona 3 FES
Persona 4
DDS1
DDS2
Raidou
Nocturne
What order shall I play them in? Keep in mind I've beaten P4 once, P4G 3 times and P3P twice (Never FES though). The others I've never touched though.

No , the only songs the history mode unlocks are the credits one and Margaret one.
The others can be unlocked playing other songs in free mode
Actually play the story mode feels so optional , i mean you can even play/unlock the final boss song without playing the story which feels silly since kinda spoil the moment.
In Ashly Burch defense she made Rise sounds more mature less childish like Rise hitting puberty or adulthood (lol) , i mean i love Bailey's take in Rise , but the worst lines of Burch are when she tries to sound like Bailey , when she uses her regular "cute" voice really works in my book.
Works in a diferent way , like Fitzgerald's Chie or Arem's Naoto they are not like the previous actress but their voices really fits the character and give them something different.
IMO of course.
PD: I mean that could be worse , i was expecting Rise sounds like Chloe from Life is Strange hahaha.

I think Arem's Naoto was pretty dead-on in comparison to whatsherface.
Chie, tho... yeah. That was jarring, but both of them have their strengths and weaknesses.
I suppose i can ask this when the year already ends , but when you guys expect news for Persona 5 again , i mean i can see a Dancing All Night scenario getting their strong campaign started in February and getting a June release....
But how Atlus handled P5 until im not sure anymore. But i have the hope we get news sooner than later.

Early in the year, hopefully, so that AtlusUSA will be given more leeway to start pumping out their PR information dump and what's not in the preparation leading up to E3 and beyond.

It's not possible for Persona 5 to run on Vita is it
Mediking

Where is your avatar from??!?! Please tell me!
I'm guessing around February, after SMTIV Final has released and their release schedule is free again. This is, of course, assuming they don't have some other game in the pipeline between now and Persona 5's release.

I think Ashly Burch does a fine job as Rise. It's different, but it works in my opinion.
I also just now noticed it's the same actress that voices Chloe from LiS. It's a small world.

It's one of the Kanamin Kitchen girls from P4D, I forget all their names.
We don't know how expansive or intensive P5 is yet, but it'd probably fly on Vita if they downgraded the graphics or went at it with a paper shredder and scotch tape like they did P3P.
If we're hoping for a handheld port of P5, I think placing hope in the NX portable might be wise.

All it takes is practice. I'd suggest dimming the background and upping the note speed, as it makes the note chart and timing easier to read.
You are in loved after just 3 hours? oh man you are just gonna love it even more later.
you are in for a glorious ride.
I'll definitely try that first bit, but upping the note speed seems like a bad idea!

It oddly makes it easier for some people? You end feeling the rhythm, rather than slowly waiting for the notes to travel to the edge.
I'm working on something, and I discovered info that English media overlooked about Persona 5 in May 2012, so I thought I'd post that tidbit here.
Meguro had an interview with Persona Music Live 2012 in Famitsu, and the details that we got about it were Meguro stating that if there was a Persona 5 and it was radically different from Persona 3 and Persona 4, the style of music would change as well.
What wasn't reported, however, was Meguro saying prior to that that, because he likes smooth R&B and soul music, he would like to work on more authentic "black music." An obvious hint about what was to become the genre inspiration for P5 in acid jazz.

Like Modest Mauser said, it's easier to follow the rhythm, as when the notes are moving slower
(and if you don't have much experience with rhythm games) the tendency is just to focus on the notes and wait until they fall into the hit area - can lead to missing what else is going on elsewhere on the screen (scratch notes, things coming on the opposite side). I'd definitely play around with it, and even at max speed the notes don't move too quickly.
Oh, that's interesting. I've always been a fan of how varied Persona's musical direction was from game to game, and it's nice to see him seriously following up on that with acid jazz.
Can I get a link to that interview?
It was furage information since the interview was in a Famitsu magazine, but here: http://hokanko-alt.ldblog.jp/archives/67507707.html

It makes the notes more spaced out, so it's easier to read their timing. There's also an equip that straight up doubles their travel speed, and I can't imagine playing the game without it anymore. Normal gameplay is super slow.

Ah dude, for me it's the opposite, I hate getting my laptop out for flights unless it's work related.
I'd much rather kick back with my vita or 3ds and bang out a bunch of hours!

ive never liked playing games on handhelds for long periods of time, always uncomfortable after a while due to the positioning of the screen compared to your hands. I was going to pull out the vita and play Deception on the plane, but said fuck it and just grabbed the laptop and my DS4. Its definitely not amazingly comfortable, and a bit of a hassle with taking up the entire tray so you gotta put it away to get drinks or food, but still, at least when im actually playing im comfortable.

Nozomi Nakahara from Kanamin Kitchen (Persona 4 Dancing all Night character)
So Persona 4 Dancing All Night really does use Kanamin Kitchen... I have the P4 DAN OST on my phone and I love it. Haven't played the game yet. I will buy a Vita!

I think I felt like that as well, the world and characters were immediately charming to me, which made P4G really easy and fun to get into.
I recently started with P3FES, which is giving me a slightly harder time getting into it. The story feels like it takes more of a back seat in the beginning, and so do the characters. I'm enjoying it, but it'll probably take a bit for me to love it.
