Okay, so. I know I'm late to the party but really? THAT'S the antagonist behind the Arena series? Really? It makes no sense with the demon in question. Not to mention how similar he is to
from Persona 1 and the 2 duology. Like seriously, the similarities are so overbearing that I expected a
reference or for him to be the true antagonist of the Arena games plot. But nope. It didn't happen.
Instead we got
.
C/P from a post I saw elsewhere:
Not to mention
This whole game feels like Atlus taunting and mocking fans of the older Persona games. Just, ugh. I enjoy the combat mechanics but geez is this writing just atrocious/a blatant rip-off of past mythos applied to a new demon that it just doesn't make sense with.
Nyarlathotep
Nyarly
Instead we got
Kagutsuchi
C/P from a post I saw elsewhere:
What other character transmogrifies its appearance for his machinations? What other character does not actively fight, but rather exploits naive humans to achieve his goals (Kandori, Jun, etc?) What other character is capable of creating false Shadows? What other character collected energy from the protagonists? What other malevolent character has near omniscient knowledge of the characters and their struggles? What other character played the role of a parent, feigning to want what is best for the child (in this case, Labrys?) What other character was fond of contradictions, right down to using Labrys who was built on a "self contradicting foundation?""
Not to mention
Sho's theme is literally called The Joker.

Erebus on fire, which is a whole other waste
The rage is palpable, I only hope the way I work it out is half good.

Regarding those Arena spoilers, it's either one of two things:
A.
Or B.
The voice actors were the same, too, adding insult to injury.
A.
They planned to use Nyarly, but backed out at the last minute out of respect for Tadashi(who probably would've said HELL NO)
Or B.
It was a giant troll and just bad writing.
The voice actors were the same, too, adding insult to injury.
Didn't even think about the waste of Erebus.
Not sure what you mean with the work it out bit.
That video is amazing. Just, yes.
I'd love to believe A but part of me leans heavily onto B.
And you know, in a roundabout way, part of me is okay with it not being
Nyarly
Nyarly
got Nyarly's mythos applied to a demon that makes no sense to have that mythos attached to it.

I don't think they get a free pass on not using
cause their writing quality is shoddy.
If they used
and tainted his glorious legacy, we could still ignore it, like what I'm doing already.
They get one arena game. And the bullshit they pulled with Ultimax is why I didn't get DAN.
I mean... I probably wasn't going to get it anyway, but they're free to think that.

True. Though the fact Atlus considers the arena games canon feels like they're just saying fuck

What exactly is Trinity Soul. P3 sequel? The description I read mentioned Apathy Syndrome.
Also how do hama/mudo work as weeknesses? do the attacks have a higher chance of working as opposed to non hama/mudo weekness?

Don't worry about it, It's non-canon
Yep. If it was, Akihiko couldn't be in Arena since adults can't use personas in Trinity Soul despite the previous game in the series having a cast of adults using personas.
if the enemy has an hama/mudo weakness its an instant kill most of the time.

Ultimax doesn't really feel like what was being set up at the end of Arena. My theory would be that they didn't actually have a clear plan as to where to go with it at the time,
malevolent entities identity included.
A Dead Diehard

And then the update came and they said "well damn, looks like we need to add something to this!"
I'm too lazy to look it up, but as far as I remember Ultimax had about six writers while Arena had two. Ultimax probably suffered a lot from their ambitious plan to release four Persona games within one year.

Is this real? Apparently, a message from Ryuji's voice actor.

Yes, recent Stalker Clubs have had messages from some of P5's VOs
From Persona Stalker Club episode 23 on January 29, 2016.

Thanks to the magic of Youtube's auto caption feature mixed with auto translate, I can reveal what was said in that video.
"Please refer to the club Trust. Walk-off victory. Also economy through is told the 10th public. It is Yujiteneko. It is also a rough language, is strong per such. Here to think of something. Kedomo, I also got a place which is e kiln. Hero. It became positive. There is a lot of thought, it has become a little tea eyes that was languishing on the floor was also or say whether kap po that stupid. There was created a since only cute there can all means everyone fun. I went by myself for the first time that we thought that after the depth of that story can then continue to engage in Persona. It was terribly done with the charm of that character is what it is amended that I was allowed to China in the fun. Please wait to enjoy some users of everyone. Volunteer to change jobs who was Hinomaru. Bye bye."
Please support my future translating endeavours.

BTW, headcanon for P3P (SPOILERS):
I was either spoiled long ago or subconsciously sure that the Dark Hour is stopped at the end of P3 (which'd make sense, it's not known during P4). Currently on 1/10, so no spoilers please. The rest is pure speculation.
Basically, Kotone (FeMC) unknowingly enters the Paradigm Door, and from there, one of the themed battles. He sees Shinjiro in her memories there, and starts to cry. Shinjiro takes no notice. She breaks down the first time, and is barely taken out alive. For the rest of January, almost every evening, she goes into the Paradigm Door and fights alongside Shinjiro. After defeating Nyx and eliminating the Dark Hour, Kotone can't forget Shinjiro's memories and falls into a deep depression.

Actually, I guess the P5MC's VA addressed PSC in his own segment on episode 20 of PSC so, if that segment counted, the episode on Monday should be Ann's. I guess that still works with the above theory, because it was mainly contingent on it not covering Yusuke. I don't know if there'd be enough Yusuke Kitagawa specific footage for them to even use yet.
To the spoiler:
Shinjiro is the one I was referring to as the love interest people generally consider canon. He's the love interest for her in the stage play and the one people generally tend to pair her up with. It adds to the narrative in a more meaningful way, especially regarding how death/morality is such a consistent theme in P3. Oh, also, there's an extra scene with Shinjiro if you played as Femc and went the
lovers route with him that's played at a certain point. I'd mention when but it would be spoilers and I heavily advise you to not look it up given the point you are at in P3.

Spoilers regarding Ultimax and Persona 4:
Also, I really have to play through ALL of P3 story mode and then go back to P4 storymode again in Ultimax JUST to unlock the Adachi DLC I purchased? Ugh. Come on. Let me play as this madman already. I hate the guy but let me play as him.

I didn't touch P3 story mode and was able to do Adachi's.
Also, you're not missing much. The prologue was the best part.

Weird. I have yet to unlock Adachi's. I read somewhere you have to beat P4s and I did but it's still not unlocked. Now I'm reading you need to 100% P4s but to do that you need to have beaten P3 to get that last 6%? So why hasn't Adachi unlocked for me if you didn't need to do that? I really just wanted to unlock him for play really. I paid for this and dl'd it already. : /

do you mean the "Shinjiro ending scene"? Saw a video with that name but didn't watch it.
Ludger Kresnik

Yes. Do not watch it until you've finished the game. It's normally something you'd unlock on a new game plus run.

P3P got grindy.
edit: When does Burn My Dread? It's amazing and I think I only heard it once.
Trying to get all skills for my party (Aigis-Mitsuru-Akihiko) which is proving a bit difficult since I keep getting Mudo'd. Oh well, after tomorrow's math exam is dead and gone I'll have all the time in the world.
edit: When does Burn My Dread? It's amazing and I think I only heard it once.
If you're playing P3P, you can see the Burn My Dread opening by either waiting at the title screen until the game loops back through the opening (where it will play the Burn My Dread opening instead of P3P's opening), or by quitting back to the main menu from within the game.

Battle For Everyone's Souls is The Answer's final boss theme then, I presume?
There's (sort of) two forms of the final boss. Battle Hymn of the Soul is the first one.

Im playing Q atm, so no "1 more" for me.
Also, apart from it being non canon and apparently really bad, is Trinity Soul supposed to be a P3 sequel. That part was never answered.
A Dead Diehard
Member
Oh, then that just means it gives Boost status instead.
It does feature
Akihiko
It uses some P3 lore and one character but it's not really a "sequel" in any meaningful way. More like another (really bad) story in the "P3" universe, a spinoff or something.
