[A Dead Diehard]

yea, its been quite hilarious in the past

Did the last one have one of the translators falling asleep, or am I thinking of E3's Square conference?

 

[BRSxIgnition]

Believers win if P5 gets a NA release date on or before 31st December 2015, Team Ruin wins the bet when the inevitable delay is officially announced.

Definitely not hard to see which side you're on.

Regardless, I'm still in.

Come on, Atlus - you can do this.

 

[Zolo]

So what's the actual avatar if the person loses? I don't mind betting, but I want to know the consequences.

We'll have one decided on in 2015.

 

[Squire]

Atlus is doing another concert?

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

she plans to do the exact opposite.

So, PersonaGAF, we all know Persona(particularly Persona 2 and 4) was heavily influenced by Jungian psychology--right? Allow me to ramble for a bit:

In Jungian psychology:

The shadow or "shadow aspect" may refer to an unconscious aspect of the personality which the conscious ego does not identify in itself. Because one tends to reject or remain ignorant of the least desirable aspects of one's personality, the shadow is largely negative, or the entirety of the unconscious, i.e., everything of which a person is not fully conscious. There are, however, positive aspects which may also remain hidden in one's shadow (especially in people with low self-esteem). Contrary to a Freudian definition of shadow, therefore, the Jungian shadow can include everything outside the light of consciousness, and may be positive or negative. "Everyone carries a shadow," Jung wrote, "and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is." It may be (in part) one's link to more primitive animal instincts, which are superseded during early childhood by the conscious mind.

This all sounds pretty familar if you played P4, right? Well, it got me thinking, the song Forty Six & 2 by TOOL is all about this stuff too(Carl Jung that is).

LYRICS:

My shadow's

Shedding skin and
I've been picking
Scabs again.
I'm down
Digging through
My old muscles
Looking for a clue.

I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been.
I've been wallowing in my own confused
And insecure delusions
For a piece to cross me over
Or a word to guide me in.
I wanna feel the changes coming down.
I wanna know what I've been hiding in

My shadow.
Change is coming through my shadow.
My shadow's shedding skin
I've been picking
My scabs again.

My shadow
Change is coming.
Now is my time.
Listen to my muscle memory.
Contemplate what I've been clinging to.
Forty-six and two ahead of me.

Despite the fact that this song was written many years before Persona was around, all this can mean only one thing:

Spoiler

TOOL ARE PERSONA FANS, TOOL IS ANIME. MAYNARD JAMES KEENAN SAID YUKIKO IS BEST GIRL.

 

[wmlk]

Also, The Babadook is a SMT spinoff because it deals with the subject of shadows and the persona.

Spoiler

You guys should watch it.

So is Jojo's Bizarre Adventure because everyone has Persona and people have Persona battles.

Spoiler

everyone go watch jojo.

 

[Jachaos]

Oh, the Blu-Ray for Persona Super Live 2015 is out today! Too bad I can't afford it right now but if anyone comes across a few songs online it would be appreciated.

 

[Purdy]

Just beat Persona 4 Golden

Spoiler

I just got the true ending but not the Golden part (so beat Izanami), I ignored Marie the entire thing so missed her dungeon. Can anyone explain to me the differences I would've seen at the end had I done her part?

Spoiler

A conversation with Marie at the end of the Izanami fight explaining stuff. Game would skip to Yu going back to Inaba for the next summer vacation. I think there's a reference for the Arena games in the dialogue but nothing too spoilery if you haven't played those. Everyone pretty much changed in appearance.

Thanks I'll just watch it on youtube then, fantastic game although I took major breaks during it was well worth the 60 hours

 

[Weiss]

The only thing holding me back from thinking Anne/Anzu is Finnish is mostly because Japanese fiction mostly goes with America/England/Germany when it wants to have a foreign character. I think there's only been Lisa and the occasional comic relief foreigner in the franchise.

 

[Dantis]

I know it's dumb, but I would be so pleased if Anne was English.

 

[Ganzlinger]

Anne being Finnish is still a thing? Finland it's too random. lol

First JoJo now Tool. Is there a series Persona won't plagiarize?

 

[Reanimatoin]

I know it's dumb, but I would be so pleased if Anne was English.

I wouldn't, they'd fuck up the voice.

There's only 2 English accents in video games, Posh and Cockney.

You're Finnish

I'm sure there's a Yorkshire accent somewhere...

 

[Setsu00]

I'd like a German character, but I doubt that this will ever happen.

Bebe was French, but quite the stereotype.

I like posh British accents.

Like in Project Zero 2 Wii Edition.

I find it charming.

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

I had a coworker for a year that explained to me he had a working class british accent, still sounded posh to me...

I dunno, they had a Finnish girl in Akiba's Trip.

Unfortunately, this. Everyone is either Queen Victoria or a chimney sweep. Maybe Scottish. The Midlands and the North barely exist at all. And Wales? Forget about it.

I liked the British voices in Xenoblade, which were produced in Britain, cus some characters actually sounded like regular people and not vocal caricatures.

 

[atlusprime]

False, there's 4.

Good Guy Posh

It's not dumb at all and I would also love it.

Have you played Dragon Quest VIII? It's localized in British-English by an Australian guy, if you didn't know. It's great.

 

[MudoSkills]

Scouse Anne. Believe.

 

[A Dead Diehard]

Scouse Anne. Believe.

I can't afford to. It's too cool an idea...

 

[wmlk]

I think it'd be cool if she came from a less stereotypically used caucasian background. Just to see how Atlus would tackle that kind of character.

 

[CorvoSol]

False, there's 4.

It's time that we adopted that beloved subgenre of English from American cartoons: Ringo Starr Impersonator Liverpudlian

What do you have to do to get that scene? Just do her dungeon/s.link?

 

[A Dead Diehard]

Spoiler

Do her S.link, which unlocks her dungeon. Complete the true ending after doing that and you'll get that scene.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Orioto just did this masterwork:

Going to work on the FFIV one tonight, decide the angle ect... I'll ask you what you think!

Pretty much the only Welsh voice acting I know of is in Dragon Age 2 and Inquisition.
But a Welsh character in a JRPG? I'd expect that as much as a Canadian character.

I see what you did there.

So did I, after I posted it. :/

Wolfenstein: The Old Blood has a Welsh guy in it, and he's great.

God damn it, hes right. Where's my Barnsley, Plymouth or Newcastle accents voice actors?

Cool.

There's also Yorkshire and Derbyshire, as far as I know.

You should play Etrian Odyssey Untold. Erin Fitzgerald puts on the Canadian SUPER HARD in that, maple syrup and everything!

I was thinking more along the lines of a character from Canada...
Then again, I can't make out a Canadian accent, since I'm from the west coast. :/

Oh, believe me, she's basically from Canada. Or EO's version of Canada.

I'm talking Maple Syrup, Mooses, Aboot, Eh's and general Canadian-ness all over the place!

Anne Takamaki for Canadian 2015.

Serious talk though, I'd love her to be either Canadian or Finnish more than any other options. (I am personally more bias towards Canadian since I'm a west coast Canuck myself.)

I have it, but I've never played it! Really should do.

The not posh part of England.
Derbyshire, specifically.
