Now, Yukiko as Sailor Mars on the other hand...

Sailormoon x P4 is dumb because the only cartoon for little girls P4 should be paired with is Revolutionary Girl Utena, and even then that's only for Revolutionary Girl Naoto and the Rose Princess Kanji.

Imagine does have some great remixes. Now I want to know if Nakano is original or not.
I need to play more of Devil Summoner, but geez is it obtuse.
I hate you.
Naoto as Mercury works, and works better since she'd be embarrassed in the getup. Favorite thing in the pic? She's way more embarrassed than Yu, who's just rolling with it as usual.
Yeah for some reason Yu doesn't seem out of place there. >_>;

Take my revolution.
Actually, scratch that. Persona would also work well within the Dear Brother framework.
So you haven't played it, I assume. Do so then see how you feel.
If their name is Dantis, they should win.
Best criteria ever.
Gonna give this a listen on my next commute, I think.
Also, wasn't sure where to put this, but it got a chuckle out of me:
This is awesome. I've been thinking about drawing some outfit crossovers myself. I love them.

It's because its Yu
Mr. Spontaneity :]
That drawing was really fun, if you guys have other Persona fanart i'd love to see it.
Of course a Mitsuru won. I swear this makes me want to spend more time in P4A and demolish everyone with Shadow Labrys.

When you get Maken X's true ending, we'll talk.
Yup.

If only his ability lived up to his awesome appearance...
Seriously, the faster you fuse him into Messiah (the actual coolest Persona in the game) the better.
Shame he isn't that cool in battles. Even Alice is better for me (Mudo Boost + Die For Me! + high magic = Awesome killing machine for everything that doesn't resist it)
EDIT: Beaten, damn, Scrafty!
NEVER
I REFUSE TO USE MESSIAH
I've already spent hours fusing the ultimate Thanatos (gave him Mudo Boost, Light Resist and Spell Master) and Messiah looks like Orpheus who looks dumb
:9
I'm so glad he's in P4:A though, he's probably my favorite Persona in the series.

Come now, Brother. Messiah has a winged sword on his back plus has Spell Amp, which gives a 50% damage boost to all spells.
50%.
That's five tens.
And that's awesome.
Also, best Persona in the series is Helel. It's a boring choice, but he's my favourite.

imo Thanatos is the coolest looking persona.
This is probably about as standard as anyone can go, but my favourite Persona in the series (in terms of design) is probably Izanagi.
Kaguyahime is a close runner-up, though.

The best Personas are EP's Gabriel and Yamaoka.

Tres bien indeed. I'd post the pics of Thanatos I have as my Vita wallpaper and lock screen, but since I'm on my Vita now, I have no way to upload them now.Tres bien

That's an enemy from Maken X, not a Persona.
Wait, that might be Hannya's Persona, I could be wrong.

As much as I love P2, most of the Persona designs are kind of wacky at best.
That said, Tatsuya's Apollo might win it for me. Philemon's Persona is some nightmarish stuff, too.

Thanks to Eirikr for bringing this to my attention, here's a fantastic interview with Kazuma Kaneko circa-Strange Journey on his inspirations:
http://megatengaku.wordpress.com/interviews/touch-ds-creators-voice/
http://megatengaku.wordpress.com/interviews/touch-ds-creators-voice/
What I wanted to do with Shin Megami Tensei, was not to create a mediaeval fantasy world with swords, magic, armour and dragons like so many other RPGs back then. [I wanted to create something in which you] face off against a transcendent existence that is beyond human intellect but with the looks of zombies, armed with modern weapens, along the lines of military and zombie movies that I like. Moreover, because I had the idea that it would be interesting if zombies were to suddenly appear in our surroundings, I wanted to make a game in which you fight strange enemies that have appeared in a place nearby.
Therefore, for the first Shin Megami Tensei we used Kichijoji [4] as the games setting. The reason why we picked Kichijoji was because I lived there and at that time we were not allowed to use Kichijojis main station, which got me the idea that there might be a kind of suspicious [laughs] atmosphere coming from that place. The appearance of modern Tokyo as the games setting was born through expanding the idea of maybe there is nothing, but it would be interesting if we can depict something that would give one the willies in a familiar place. In Strange Journey as well we firmly continue the concept of delivering experiences which transcend that what can be imagined in the comfort zone of reality through dangers and fears to whatever is close to ones heart.
...
The demons are iconic beings of species, derived from mythology and folklores and thus there are numerous rules I have to follow when [I'm] drawing them. The most important thing to keep in mind when designing the demons, which Ive been doing since the first instalment, is to faithfully follow those rules. Moreover, I aim to comprehensibly emphasise the places which should be emphasised, arrange them in a modern fashion and present it in an original way.
Take, for example, the demon Morax, which appears for the first time in Strange Journey. This will become a bit of a maniac story, but this demon belongs to the group of demons called The 72 Demons of King Solomon [15]. Morax is responsible for the movement of heavenly bodies and, if it is summoned by a magician, its able to inform one about astronomy in great detail. For this demon there is the rule that it has the head of an bull and a human body.
When I am wondering how to express this, I first think about the bull head, but because there already exist other demons with such head, it would be logical to first make a selection of bulls that didnt look similar to the ones that already have appeared throughout the series. The head I chose for Morax was one from a bison. [16] Then, thinking about its in-depth knowledge of the movement of heavenly bodies, I wonder how to express such a thing. This time I tried to appeal to the deep psyche of the player by having [Morax] hold a cane, which has a celestial globe to move the sun and moon on top of it. This is the type of feeling I have when Im designing the demons.
...
Its extraordinarily difficult to answer the question what my favourite demon is among all those that appear in Strange Journey, but one that I used unusually often during the playtest of this game, is Frost Ace [17]. Itll take a little time to befriend this demon, or perhaps I should say having him grown strong to that extent, but Frost Ace will get convenient skills, making it amazingly helpful and affectionate.
Stats, pal. And probably a few skills that I'm missing. Still, I didn't remember that he was that high. If you can't hit that level, just save him for your next playthrough and just use another Persona. Seriously, don't try to keep Thanatos. It is just not worth it.
I can't deny what the heart wants!
...
and I honestly can't think of alternatives to be honest. I managed to max out each and every one of Thanatos' stats (except Endurance), and passed down Resist Light.
Alice is cool, but I like Thanatos's higher base level and access to Brave Blade.
Can you fuse Persona's past your level in NG+? I gave Messiah another look over, and he actually looks kind of cool, minus the silly looking tower.
NOT MY FAULT YOU DON'T APPRECIATE ONE OF THE GREAT MODERN WORKS OF FICTIONAL LITERATURE.
I haven't even started my second playthrough yet, haha!
Aren't you Australian? Is that not close enough?
Haha!
Australian accents are pretty far away from British ones.
Also Jintor, YOU'RE rubbish.
