It really feels like the closest fit in the long-term gratification, being forced to mix up your loadout and the amount of skills feeling restrictive if you decide to stick to one Persona.

Was this posted in here, I don't remember.
When i saw that in the loli design thread, i was in tears lololol
Whenever I try to describe the series to anyone unfamiliar with it, I always refer to the combat like pokemon, cause it's an apt comparison. Keeping a varied assortment of personas on you with differing elemental strengths and weaknesses tailor made to take out what you're currently facing, including leveling them up or getting new ones to try and stay ahead of the curve? How is that NOT like pokemon?

From the DeSu 2 thread long ago, Maya spread her gospel upon the people of defygravityland
I don't want too much silly though.

Speaking of JYB, when I was playing Golden a while back, I used the SOS systsm. It was answered by two characters named Ichigo and Vash.
JYB and JYB were helping JYB.

Yays I'm back home. I don't care for typing on the Vita much, not too wild on touchscreen keyboards.
So I had a crazy thought regarding SMT x FE:
What if it's actually a new game which is more like Persona x FE?
We're assuming that Hashino is involved based on his previous comments, and SMT and Fire Emblem clash pretty heavily in terms of gameplay. What if SMT x FE is more like a Persona game, but with Fire Emblem style battles in place of Tartarus/Midnight Channel? Then you leave the battle field and build up your S Links or whatever. So it literally combines aspects of both games.
The reason I was thinking about this is because 4PlayerPodcast were comparing the FE support system to the S Link system in Persona, albeit not as complex.
It sounds kind of crazy, but I think it's... feasible?
Thoughts?

Except it's SMTxFE and not PxFE and the only thing shown of it has absolutely no Persona
I think that would be a fun game, but I doubt that's how SMT x FE will play.
I think it's much more likely it will just be an SRPG.
Just thinking aloud. I think it would be neat!
Considering how little we know about it at this point, it could be anything.

Oh Daisuke
Maybe we'll get a PS4/NextBox port?
When Nintendo goes third party, haha.
Could be possible, maybe they take a little influence from every SMT and spin offs.
Don't you buy consoles for games your interested in? I fail to see the logic here.
I'm not buying a console for one game.

As long as Fire Emblem is attached to the project, if you want a PS4/Durango port, you better start praying Nintendo goes the way of Sega.
Considering how unlikely that even is, you better be praying hard.
Because there will never be another game on that console you never want to play right?
We all know Persona 5 will be Wii U exclusive.
lol
Considering that I'm more than likely picking up a PS4 first and I don't care for Nintendo's first party offerings anymore or the controls. Probably not.
I've gone this long without buying a Wii for that reason.
Pssh, we all know P5 is a 3DS exclusive.
Good day PersonaGAF, how's your Sunday going?
If you're at all interested in really old bad/funny videogames, I'm doing a livestream of this old FMV point and click adventure game on Rely On Horror's livestream channel at 2PM PST. Going to be giving away some free games too!

Persona 1 was the worst in the series in terms of characters. Story was also pretty boring. But I'm glad I played it before P2 because the references and cameos make it worth it.
Innocent Sin has a fantastic cast. I really do hope we get to see them again in some form.
I think I'm starting to like Eternal Punishment's cast even more because they're not a bunch of high school kids, which makes for a totally different group dynamic.
I kind of hope they go with an older cast for P5. A lot of people say college/university, but I want older than that, even.
Give me middle-aged salarymen!
A variety of ages would work well.
There are so many possibilities, I hope they don't do school again, if they do at least focus more on teachers or something.
Or something like I've mentioned before:
Persona86 said:Or a detective/private detective.
Social Links with clients, co workers, family etc and interesting cases as side stories.
Between Katsuya, Dojima, Naoto and the entirety of Persona 4's major theme, I'd want Persona 5 to not have to do much with detectives/investigation.
Well keep your eyes open for more interesting games, and then when the price drops it should be well worth your money.
Well in my imagination it would be nothing like Persona 4 at all. But I can see where your coming from, I want it to be as unique and fresh as possible.
Luckily for us they said they are planning to make big changes, like the big change of adding Social Links to Persona 3.
I'd like a variety of ages too. I think it's possible, considering how frequently it's requested.
Shame we won't find out for a while now though. :/
More games on the Wii U?
Not sure about that one!
But I'd argue that Innocent Sin had a variety, Eternal Punishment moreso.
Like Persona 4 to Catherine ages, I guess?
I'd be up for that in Persona 5, but I feel that it's something that was done in IS with Eikichi, Ginko and Tatsuya in the former age range along with Maya and Yukino in the latter.
Like previous Persona games you can meet different people at different places, or your team member could be someone random, like the mayor lol. It would be boring if everyone in your social links and team mates were highschool students.
LOL Persona 5 set at an old peoples home, nobody believes their stories, but at midnight they all enter the mirror in the disabled toilet, where they battle shadows who are sucking the life out of all the old people in town. They must save the town before every old person dies.
Anyway I think it would be pretty cool to have an old character with a persona, especially if he/she's cool and wise.
You never know, we might get surprised.
Well SMT X Fire Emblem came out of nowhere, who knows how many games there are hidden away waiting to surprise us.
Anyway I'm a big Zelda fan, so that alone will make my future Wii U purchase worth it. That along with 3D Mario, Bayonetta 2, X etc
I honestly have no idea what to expect from P5. I really wish they'd stop beating around the bush and just show the damn thing.
No thank you. That's a little heavy on the cliche.
How about charming, clumsy, paranoid and a bit of a perv? A character that can grow on you.
