I agree, but "OH GOD WHY" isn't really criticism. But I think Setsu was just asking people to approach the figures with more understanding, not saying that they shouldn't be criticized.

That's what I meant. You're free to criticize these figures and of course my art as well, but if you do so, please be constructive. You're accomplishing nothing by pointing out how horrible something looks (well, you might make sure that the artist never posts again), but you might actively help the artist if you try to pinpoint what exactly needs some work.
Until the next delay.

Summer 2017 here we come!
I had a good laugh at work on Valentine's day when I finally got an email from Amazon that the release date for P5 had been changed.
Though I also had a moment of "!" when the little blurb of the email that showed on my phone's lockscreen said something about P5 and release. I knew better, but still...

I promised myself I'd play Persona 4 before the new one came out......~3 years later I still haven't played it yet. Could I manage to finish it in a month? The length of P4 has always daunted me :-(

No. And even if you could, you shouldn't rush it.

I'm fully expecting a June 2017 release date unless we get the "Persona 5 is Gold" thread next month and I'm not talking Persona 5 Golden.
Wait, this is perfect; you could be one of the few people who could play P4 after P5.

It's certainly a unique experience.
Then people like me who started with P4 can look down our noses at P5 newbies.
I'm sure themes will be brought up.
Atlus USA Notice (For Immediate Release)
It has come to the company's attention that some people have yet to play Persona 4. Unfortunately, we must delay Persona 5 once again until every single one of you plays Persona 4. Every. Single. Person.

I played the whole game until the final week without realizing that I had to (like not even a spoiler but whatever - trophy related)
press R1 to scroll to different infiltration tools. I had like 20 deodorants etc by the end of the game because of that, LOL. By the time I realized, it was too late to get them all for the trophy.

What about those who started with GOAT Persona 3?

I dunno...
Theme harder?
edit: Though this would be their third time, so it should probably be "theme hard with a vengeance".

Question on the books / manga.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/1927925576/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Is there a list of how many there are for 3 and 4? I thought I remember seeing something a while back that they did the regular game and then golden separately?

3 hasn't finished yet, but it's getting it's 11th and final volume relatively soon. 4 got 10 volumes. I don't think they did Golden separately; you may be thinking of the anime adaptation which had a Golden version released after that focused on Marie.

As usual, don't read the comments.

Velvet Room mechanics trailer for those who can't watch. Amazing stuff (bar the VA)

To this day, I cannot understand what enjoyment people receive from spoiling shit for others. Of course YouTube's recommended videos (with revealing-ass titles) don't help. I've had to install numerous browser extensions just to avoid spoilers/recommended videos lol.

So Pyro Jack is back to Jack-o'-Lantern after all.

‪Does Igor have that awful warping effect on his voice in the Japanese version? ‬
this bothers me

Yeah, that was in the combat UI where it gave a description of the shadows rather than their name on a first encounter, but this is showing the fusion menu alongside the normal names of other shadows, so it's definitely been changed.

I can barely notice it.
I'm not sure if that's a deliberate addition or just a difference in how the lines are recorded.

It's pretty obvious, with headphones in at least. Especially during the beginning of the trailer when the Velvet Room theme is playing. It sounds really wavy, and individual words end up having this weird reverb while others sound perfectly fine. It makes him sound almost robotic, and the way the voice actor speaks sounds really broken up like he was given direction to specifically sound segmented - which is a weird choice that I can't understand to be honest. I don't mind the voice itself, other than Ryuji it's probably the best so far, but the filter isn't doing it any favors.
It was always O'Lantern in Japanese. They just had to change it to Pyro Jack due to character limits in Nocturne, and it just stuck for over a decade.

Nah. We need a fiery foil for frosty mascot, Jack Frost.

I need Masafumi Takada and Shinji Hosoe on MegaTen.
And they should've used Stingy Jack to begin with anyway.

Shinji Hosoe on an SMT would be amazing.

I like some of Hosoe's Xenosaga stuff. His 999 music stands out most as fitting for SMT. And I'm into his Fate/Extra jazz. Also here's a Street Fighter EX2 thing just 'cause.

Crazy idea. What if all the guest musicians for DAN were scouting possible replacements for Meguro?
Pyro jack was always Jack-o-Lantern in the japanese version.
But since its a long name they had to shorten it to pyro jack from time to time, depending on how the UI for the game worked.
So you could say that jack-o-lantern is actually the accurate translation

Just watched the trailer, and I really like Igor's voice (minus the weird reverb). Not as big a fan of the twins, but they've really grown on me.
What hasn't grown on me is the decision to pronounce English names in a more Japanese way. I've never in my life heard someone pronounce the name "Justine" as "juu-steen," it's always been "jus-teen" (apologies for the butchered phonetics). They're English names, why not pronounce them that way?
I don't even have a problem with the quality of the localization at this point, but damn if some of the decisions made don't leave me scratching my head.

That bugs me too, but at least that's a different language they're pronouncing strangely. Oh well.

Amended that for you.
Hearing Ann mispronounce that name irked me. Will doubly irk me if these mispronunciations are left in tact in the NA release since the whole reason they gave for this delay to April was to polish the localisation. :V

If these kinds of things are in the end product, I'm gonna ask two questions:
"How fucked was it beforehand?" and "Did they actually change anything?"
That's part of pronunciation.
Namely what part is more pronounced.
I think the pronunciation is fine, it's just they emphasize the wrong syllable.
Actually, the katakana for "Justine" and "Caroline" indicates that they are actually meant to be pronounced like French names. And while Igor's pronounciation of "Justine" still isn't quite French, a girl that I grew up with is called Justine and she pronounces her name like that. She's also German, but that's just my two cents on this.
Cannon_Fodder

Considering all four syllable names are pronounced in the same way by various cast members, I'm thinking it was a conscious decision to emphasize the second syllable so heavily. So I doubt they're changing it.
Hmm, that's really interesting. Thanks for sharing that, I never knew. I'm still not sure I like it, but at least I get it now.

It also makes a degree of sense, since Frankenstein (where the names of all the residents come from) takes place at least partially in France.
