Yukiko is just there... I don't hate or like her much either. But I do like that pantyhose.

Yukiko's not bad, she's just easily the blandest of the P4 party members. Golden's added content pushing her "kooky" angle further than before made it seem like they realized this and were overcompensating a little.
I think that's what I appreciated the most. She's somewhat of an important/famous person for a small town with her having to inherit the inn when she gets older and to me that was interesting enough. I just found her little gimmick to be something that didn't really work well in the game, although normally it would be endearing.

Is someone talking shit about Wiping All Out?
I swear if they say anything bad about danger zone.....I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR MY ACTIONS.

Definitely not me. "Wiping All Out" is the superior P3 normal battle theme.

I'm not a princess.
imo FeMC's music is one of her route's only downsides. By which I mean I really don't enjoy Danger Zone.

Just finished Persona 3... Pheeew took me a while. I started it last summer, got sidetracked and picked it up last month. I gave it my all to finish it before MGS hits and even though Tartarus sucks (hate it) I did it.
So here are a couple of thoughts from an old guy (closing in on 40).
I wish I've played this game when I was younger or at least when it came out. Target audience seem teen and 20+ I guess and although a few instances of storytelling really struck a point with me mostly it was things I already experienced and lived through. Still I loved it even though it had peculiar way of introducing things. Very slow in the beginning I almost dropped it a few times. Didn't understand what the fuss was all about.
But characters get fleshed out nicely and you really get into the mindset that you have a team.
Last few months are the best really. Didn't expect it to turn out so dark in the end but still. I got a good ending and will yt the bad one. ALso I didn't get all the S-Links as was expected even screwed up a few of them but still that is such a refreshing mechanic I was amazed how simple and how addictive it was.
I have a few questions though:
1. Is it explained who the Igor and Elizabeth are? I was expecting some explanation all the time. I saw him in some P4 screens as well so he seems regular
2. I find it strange how over night on Jan. 1. everyone started talking about
. It was so sudden and really I never got over how out of place it was. I got that the pale fellow was behind it but over night you see posters and graffiti and such... Perhaps I missed something
3. I really hated Tartarus... Played on Normal and had to grind for a while in some instances. Is the P4G dungeon crawling any better? I'll play it on easy just to skip dungeoneering for so long. Hated that part.
4. How about The Answer? I'm pretty burned out now I feel, is the story a must (as P3P didn't include it) or can I skip it? I read somewhere that is battle heavy (hate that part) so I'm kinda eager to skip it. But if the story is good I'm in

It's canon and it expands upon the ending a lot, but it's also really tedious to play. YT it if you cba to grind more.

1. Igor's a holdover character since Persona 1, basically something imbued with life by his 'master', Philemon (Who's basically considered to be the blue butterfly you see roaming). Philemon isn't really important to the current story past P2 IS & EP though. Elizabeth and her brother(Theodore who's a choose-able attendant in P3P and appears in PQ), as well as her older sister(Who you'll be meeting in P4), are all similar creations made with some relation to the current user of the Velvet Room.
2. Been a while since I've played P3 FES but I think from December onward it's sort of like the game is starting to tell you that the Fall stuff is getting serious. I mean obviously you know the Fall is coming, and the 'pale' guy pretty much leaks it out to the general public. Which obviously caused the aforementioned 'cult' and poster stuff.
3. I think it's pretty much agreeable that dungeons in P4 (especially P4G) are much more playable than 400-500 floors of Tartarus. You shouldn't need to go anything lower than Normal in terms of difficulty, P4G and the upgraded battle system makes the game so much more accessible to the point of making Easy akin to playing a visual novel.
4.The Answer....well, it's pretty much 100% dungeon crawl. Which you probably don't want. The story is a bit important in the whole grand scheme of the series, but it isn't really worth playing through it on your own if you're not really invested in the battle system (plus the fact you have no access to a Compendium, and usually have to grind). You're best bet is to just watch alll the scenes and stuff on Youtube, rather than play it yourself.
Hope that helps!

Yukiko was the least flanderized in PQ, so theres that. I really don't mind her at all, and like how she can add to a conversation really well in ways that surprise everyone
at least shes not yukari
Yukiko actually did get flanderized quite a bit in Persona Q, but it was in a good way like Aigis. They upped her snarkiness and sense of humor considerably.

Someone gets it!
I always found it weird how neither SEES, nor the cops seemed interested in tracking them down. Are a shirtless guy with a revolver (in Japan, no less) and a guy in a neon bomb disposal jacket that hard to find???

Jin and Takaya are behind this. Jin even created an website dedicated to explain the Fall to people and Takaya
becomes some sort of a priest, so they basically started a cult.
If you talk to the random school kids, they will talk about this. And you'll get the sense of things getting spread throughout the city.
All of the music from FemMC is great, but Master of Tartarus is that much better.
When those drums kick in... just.. man.

Oh almighty Hardin-Sama... Heed my prayer...
Will we be getting a limited edition Persona 5 PS4 bundle in the west? I would love that oh so much.

Serious talk though, I'm holding off on buying a PS4 as long as possible just so that I can buy the Persona 5 Edition Bundle if it does end up existing.

That's good to hear
WAO should be a miniboss theme. It sounds too epic for normal encounters, but not epic enough for a boss. Mass Destruction is good b/c most battles end before the really awful linkin park-wave rap comes in.
It's tough coming from P4G, which has the best Normal Encounter/Boss/Final Boss theme combo since the original Pokemon games. Time to Make History is far better as a regular theme than Reach Out to the Truth. I'll Face Myself is the best boss theme ever. Does everything a boss theme needs to do.
this is my strategy too
But if there's no bundle, maybe come out after Star Wars Battlefront so I can get that one.

The worst mistake I ever made in a Persona game was doing the FeMC route on a NG+ save, so I was killing all the bosses way too quickly and not getting to listen to Danger Zone.
Amen to that. PQ Yukiko is legitimately my favorite incarnation of her. She's so goddamn hilarious.
Yeah, i've always thought Master of Tartarus was terrific song. And when I say terrific, I really mean terrible, because good God that song is booty.
Listening to that song on loop is purgatory. Doesn't help that it plays during all of the crappiest bosses too.

The revolver is pretty much insane. lol
So what's this about? I was absent for a long time. But I guess it's related to P5 release date?
BRSxIgnition

#TeamRuin believes that Persona 5 will be delayed into 2016.
Team #InHardinWeTrust believes that Persona 5 will release in 2015, as Hardin and Atlus have said multiple times.
Some are betting their current avatar on it, some aren't.

It's keeping track of who believes Boss Hardin about P5 coming out in 2015 and who doesn't.
edit: And I've been ninja'd.
it's a bet whether or not P5 is coming 2015. I would have bet earlier but i was banned lol

Put me in #InHardinWeTrust. Everytime Atlus says 2015 I can sense the determination of a Persona user.

I'm thinking of finally doing a max SL run in P4G after I finish my current "whatever" NG+. Since I always play this game so slowly (my current run started last year) maybe I'll finish it by the time P5 releases. :O
Ganzlinger

Wait, if it involves an avatar bet, what avatar we'll have to use if we lose? I need to know before accepting it.
That's cowardice for ya.
I only take avatar bets that are to my advantage. Like that one Junior Member who bet me on P5 news with an avatar of Napaea (I quite like her design), and failed to specify a timeframe for the bet.
That's all I'm waiting for.

when is TGS again?

17th September. Sony will probably have a show before then, but we don't have a date for that yet.
Is the outcome based on how many social links we max out before TGS? Somebody hang out with boring
