does that mean anything?

We're probably getting an audio drama or something.
Is this memes I sense?

Possibly. I was saving this one, but got tired of waiting.

lol man. This was quite random.
I couldn't reply better than this:
No hard feelings. It's all a part of being a newbie.

No hard feelings [2]
This is a brilliant Cruise laugh meme parody.

I don't even remember any legit "fanservice" in P3. At least not the way I'm thinking.
EDIT: Oh wait, there was that innocuous hot springs scene (in comparison to how they usually go, like P4G's awful anime scenes).
EDIT 2: No wait, there were a couple of those weird security cam things. Yeah, okay, it's all coming back to me. But P4G is the horrible king of this contest.

Off the top of my head, there's the fanservice when they go to the beach (not Operation Babe Hunt, but before that), there's the security camera footage which goes back and fourth between funny and fanservicy, and there's the hotsprings scene. Plus a few miscellaneous scenes here and there. All and all, Persona 3 is pretty light on the fanservice.

I dunno, P3 had this
Yukari was calling for Fuuka but we all know why the localization team has that line there. Remember when Mitsuru dropped her towel after getting out the shower? "drools*
According to MU, all the groups that were scanlating it are inactive and the last release was more than 300 days ago.

There's also the cutscene of
Yukari in the shower during the Lovers Shadow mission, even if the framing makes it horrifying and creepy.

Happy Year of Persona 5 probably actually coming out in Japan at least
There's been some gaps in the last two years as I believe the scanlators have been busy with college. Last update was in March, before that was October, and before that the previous March.

Oh God that was the lowest point. lol
That's pretty amazing.
Really?
I'd be interested in giving it a reading once you have something significant done. Keep us updated!

Guys
I just got P4G's true end
What do I do with my life now
I just got P4G's true end
What do I do with my life now
Play it again
Play the spin-offs
Post in here about how the spin-offs derail everyone's character
Rinse
Repeat
I remember when I beat it I pretty much immediately restarted it to play it again. Also bought Arena within a week to get more Persona action.

Don't play ANYTHING ELSE.
Keep this feeling pure. Spend your time on other series now.

Honestly the ending fucked my shit up but it felt so right and fulfilling that I don't think I can revisit it in 2016. I don't think I could without crying. 70 hours never felt this fucking short.
edit: Going to finish Danganronpa Another Episode now, then I'll probably move on to Planescape: Torment for my story fix.
I don't think I can stop myself from picking up P3P in the meantime.
edit 2: crying again, how do I explain this to my parents- shut myself in the whole day and I'm worried they think it's because I'm depressed about something bad (I just finished the last two dungeons, in fact).

yeah the time always completely flies by with Persona 4. I was sad at the end due to it being over. It was bittersweet.

Take a break. Then you can try the spin offs just for the sake of character interactions.
No hint, but as always E3 won't be important for the marketing of Persona 5.
When we hear something new it will be a Japanese event.

You don't have to worry ! There will be nothing at E3 ! I hope you feel better now.

what happens if P5 is the best persona game
Mediking
Member
It's not a big deal but I've noticed that Akihiko is kinda different in Persona Q... He was never the guy who just wanted to fight. He's just calm and laidback. Very similar to Shinjiro. But in PQ... Akihiko is almost always trying to throw a punch. I don't know why Atlus did that.

I'll jump headfirst into the family TV because I have no PS3 or PS4
BTW, the emotional high of finishing P4G is gone. Now I just feel empty.

It's simple, really. They had no idea what to do with him, and his debut after so long was a fighting game where a lot of it was characters being deliberately written out of character.
Not exactly a recipe for consistency.
It already looks like it will be the best Persona game, so it wouldn't be surprising.
It better be.
It's been seven years since P4, and even that game has some noticeable flaws. I have a hard time thinking that P5 won't stand as one of the best games in the entire MegaTen franchise.

Yeah I've never seen confidence like this go awry.
Sorry I'm not cynical and negative about everything like you are.

I just wish it'd end up on PS Now or something

I'm just saying be careful. I have nothing but high hopes for P5 but statements of quality to that level before anyone's played it, I dunno.
Flux's optimism isn't unfounded, given what Hashino said after the delay. This could very well be leagues better than Persona 3 or Persona 4 from a gameplay perspective.
I'm not saying it will be, but I loved every Persona game barring Persona 1, to increasing degrees (except for going from P3 to P4). Everything that's been shown for Persona 5 has lead me to thinking that P5 will likely do the same, and precedence supports that as well (in addition to what the developers have said). In my case, being skeptical for the sake of it would be needless.
If I went into every game with reserved expectations or met every upcoming game I anticipated with reserved expectations, I'd have a real boring time. Levelheadedness isn't a foreign concept to me, and my personal expectations for Persona 5 come from the same place.
I stopped midway through the first chapter because I thought nobody would be interested in reading the comic adaption of a badly recieved novel, but I might actually pick that project up again if there's enough demand.
I'll definitively keep you updated in case I should continue this.
Same. My hype's deflated a bit because of the delay, it's hard to stay continuously excited for something for nearly three years, but I'm not banking on some untested AAA dev's overfunded money pit; Persona 5 is a game crafted by people who know what they're doing. I have no reason to believe it won't continue the high standards of MegaTen.

You're dealing with Arenahiko in PQ, minus the sexy redesign. He's a completely different character now and it makes me sad. I could only kinda forgive it in P4A because of the stubble and lack of upper body wear.

Most of the P3 cast is on the calmer side. They probably changed Akihiko so there would be more friction in group interactions.
And it's generally easier to write boisterous characters.
Hahaha ....
Cooperation system so far sounds like a upgraded version of that and even better maybe will have major impact in the main storyline and gameplay and not feel like a complete different game inside the game like P3 / P4 "beloved" social links.
