I thought it was Walmart, not Best Buy. I could be wrong.
For SMT4 it doesn't bother me. If it was retailer specific costumes for P5 though, I'd be peeved. Alternate costumes are somethnig that I really appreciate in games, so it's not something that I'd want to miss out on.
I'm a huge symphonic metal fan. (Or at least I used to be)
Do you listen to much of it?
It was alternate box art for Best Buy and Walmart. You should read Kotaku's Atlus article talking about why they needed to do that.

It's my favorite sub-genre. Therion, Within Temptation, Nightwish, Blind Guardian, Stratovarius, Sonata Artica, Kamelot when they dip into that genre, etc, etc. <3
I'm not sure I'd want to dress my character up like a Lawson's store clerk or a 7-Eleven one, honestly. >_>;
That's a fantastic article. I remember hearing/reading about Aram meeting with people over Catherine before and that whole "That's not in Catherine" bit way back.
Say what you will about Kotaku, Schreier sure does write some good articles about Atlus.
Could actually see that working, a band like Nightwish has a fair amount of range too so they'd have a lot to work with.
WHEEEEEEY!
Blind Guardian are my favourite band ever. Seen them twice and met them at a signing. It was a music festival, and the signing was on the first day. I was so scared of someone ransacking my tent that I kept my signed CD in my coat pocket across all four days, haha!
Saw Therion a couple of years back and they were frigging amazing live. They take all the singers on their shows, and because they're all like opera singers, they out-perform, like, everyone.
THE MORE THE MERRIER.
Nightwish are miles too gothic. Particularly the stuff with Tarja.
Depends on the album. The earlier Tarja stuff is gothic, not so much the later Tarja stuff and the Anette stuff. (So sad that Anette left just as she was finding her style...)
Schreier generally writes good stuff, it's the other Kotaku writers who are a hit and a miss.

I got a couple of their albums the other day, including the live one. They are indeed fantastic live.
Still a terrible choice of genere for Persona in my opinion. It's moden day, not middle earth. lol
I never really got into old Nightwish. My friend was obsessed with them, so we all used to refer to them as Shitepiss to wind him up.
I agree. Meguro's Persona music has always had a really heavy Japanese sound to it, as well as sounding incredibly modern and often cool. All things that don't fit with symphonic metal at all.
Way, way, WAY too heavy and gothic. Just so that those of us not familiar with Nightwish know what we're talking about, this is Wish I Had An Angel.
But like I say, Persona is cool, modern and Japanese. Symphonic Metal is absolutely not.
As a complete aside, that's the first time I've listened to that in about five years. It's a lot better than I remembered.
Once is such a great album, but that song is overhyped.
Also, Ryoji's social link is such a mindscrew. ACCEPT ON SUNDAY OR NO RANK UP FOR YOU.
And Heavy Metal is pretty popular in Japan, actually. Why do you think all these bands give Japan an exclusive bonus track or two? >_>;
Well yeah this is all just for discussions sake, I didn't actually think Mastodon was a good fit either.
Pretty sure that it's to prevent reverse importation, actually.

SPLIT YOU LUNGS WITH BLOOD AND THUUUUNDEEEEER! WHEN YOU SEE THE WHITE WHALE!

What am I even looking at
YES! This is the exact picture I was thinking of!
My friend sent me that and a Manowar one years ago, and every time I hear about Mastodon, I still just think of that.
I never thought I'd be having a conversation about metal in the Persona topic. Fun times.
EDIT: Look what I found in the depths of my computer. Ah, the memories.
HAIL, GODS OF WAAAAAAR!
EDIT 2: Removing that. It's a bit racist. Guess it's one to stay in the memories, haha.

This makes me wish I got tagged with something like "Snorts coke off his PSP" with a link to that post. Ah well.

Wishes he snorted coke
He asked for it, is what I read in the EP thread.
Nobody knows why, oddly, but it seems he requested it.
He was banned on February 19th, 2013 before we knew the release date of Eternal Punishment for PSone Classics; shortly after he posted in the thread about SMTIV's Japanese release date.

Just started Persona 3 FES off the PSN, I'm about a week away from the 2nd full moon. This game stresses me out at times since I love to do everything in a video game, but it's impossible to do so in one run through on this game, it seems.
It's not impossible, but you're not suppose to try and do everything on one run.
You'd need a guide to do everything, but that's best reserved for a second run. Just play it naturally.
YES! This is the exact picture I was thinking of!

It could be a new feature in Persona 5, if a romantic interest is involved with someone else, that song with start up and you'll have to fight them.
As a more serious aside to this, I feel like the concept of cheating could be really interesting. For example, if an S Link cheated on the player, or if there were actual ramifications for cheating on an S Link.
Did Igor ever say anything other than "Welcome to the Velvet Room" ?
In the animation? His in-game spiel about zero/potential and fortune telling. Margaret had much more content.
Yes. just in the animation. I think he said very little, but mostly that.
That stuff rarely bothers me, if ever. If it's a bonus tied to a specific retailer it's not integral to the experience. If you can get it? Great. If not? Who cares?
The way I see it, you don't need to have every piece of content made for a game. If that were the case, you could say every developer ever is a hold-out given how often content is produced and scrapped just because of the nature of game development.
Entitled Gamers.
I could probably write a book with half the shit that some people say. Seriously.
Honestly, it's annoying only if they do it so it's unavailable to people who can't pre-order for whatever reason. For the most part, most DLC that's tied to retailers in Japan is made available either digitally or available at every retailer in NA/EU, so I wouldn't be worried about SMTIV.
Dissidia 012 and SE are one example of doing it wrong. There's DLC costumes you could only get for pre-ordering on Amazon and on GameStop, as well as costumes that just plain out weren't made available in NA or some in EU (including the ones that were tied to retailer pre-orders and ones tied to buying new copies of FFIVCC and The 3rd Birthday, which have long since expired).
I don't think it's too unresonable to want everything for a game you're greatly looking forward to. Even God of War makes their retailer-exclusive DLC available to everyone eventually.
Absolutely.
NeoGAFshitposts is gonna write a book soon, and get a TV pilot. Worked for other twitter accounts.
If it was something like a DLC costume, it would absolutely be a slight irritant. I'm not saying I'd be flipping tables and screaming bloody murder, but I'd be a bit annoyed.
Mmm... This is stretching it a bit.
I stopped reading that thread when they tried to argue that Nanako was a loli.
Good grief.
Ranked is kinda dead, though people still play in Player matches. I'm pretty sure people here (myself included, though not at the moment) would be willing to play if you just ask.
Wut.
I heard it was completely dead, but I guess it doesn't hurt to check if you actually own it?
360 online is pretty much dead. PS3 online is easy to find a game with in Player Matches for the most part.
360 is completely dead AFAIK. Player matches on PS3 are pretty healthy, Ranked is iffy but because the ranking system is meaningless anyhow.
lol, sounds like projection to me. Nanako is a child.
It really isn't. People get so upset over OPTIONAL things, it's ridiculous. No one is forcing you to download any DLC or pay for microtransactions. None of it.
You know what I do. Sit back, think "Is this worth the money to me?" If so, yes, then I'll buy it and give the developers some extra money for their hard work, if not, I completely ignore it. And there's no use arguing this point to people like that because they already have the idea planted in their heads that "OMG I SPENT 60 DOLLARS ON THSI AND NOW THEY WANT MOER SHOULD MAED TEH FULL GAMEZ." When it really shows they have no idea how the development process works.
Those who were arguing Nanako was a loli were also saying that "loli" simply means "prepubescent character."
