Yes, we do. I expect it'll probably happen after P5 is announced as a tie in with the Persona 3 movie.
But it wouldn't work with the story!
After all, Yu Narukami may be an reincarnation of Izanagi.
Yes, we do. I expect it'll probably happen after P5 is announced as a tie in with the Persona 3 movie I bet.
You say that as though the Persona 3 movie happening is even a certainty.
Well the first one is, seeing as it's already been funded I imagine.
Also euuagh, that was some bad repetition on my part.
Luckily P4G was absolutely amazing regardless!

I hope you're right. I really, really do. Especially combined with being after a P5 announcement.
I hope I'm right too. All this optimism has to pay off someday. :|

Not too sure the process of funding a project like that is that simple. If plans fell through, I bet even the first movie would need to be dropped, but there's only several months left before the release of movie 01 so I don't know. I just feel as though I'd need more news on that front before being certain.
Always. Then again, whatever. If people just want P3P Vita, Catherine Vita, Persona 4 Arena Vita and then 3D remakes of Persona 1 and Persona 2 without any new experiences, they can have that too, but then they have no right to complain about nothing new from the Persona Team afterwards.

Closest we ever got.
P4G was still great, though.
Agreed. As an improved version of one of my already-favourite games, it leaped to near the top of my list. The costumes are actually one of my favourite additions to the game, too. It was great fun beating the crap out of everyone in an Ouendan outfit, and collecting all of the unique ones was fun in and of itself (I especially like the ones which change your character's victory poses, with special mention going to Yosuke's Gekkoukan uniform, Chie's Blue Velvet outfit, and Naoto's Yasogami Girl's Uniform).
Assuming of course the footage from the latest reveal wasn't a teaser made for that preview, that means they're already at the animation stage. Also remember, there's more than just Atlus involved with the production. If you look you'll see a "Persona 3 Movie Committee" in the credits, with the list of all the studios backing the project. Which includes companies like Aniplex.
I'm not worried about the first movie at all. The later ones would depend partially on the success of the first movie and partially on Index's situation.
All the tweaks and extras (even though I had my gripes with Marie) helped make Persona 4, already one of my all-time favorite video games, all the better, and helped turn me into the Megaten fan I am, today. I could praise all of SMT for hours. XD

If you mean the Jester mask, yes, I too bought it simply because it looked like the mask on the back of the tarot cards.
yeah that's the one!
i tried to make a blood-stained t-shirt to compliment the look but it ended up looking like a peppermint candy
Add a pinch of Debilitate to an enemy... use Power Charge and any attack boost, then hit Hassou Tobi for a complete annihilation.
Guys, Drag!Yu is cute.
>_>

Do not post pics

Rinse and repeat as needed.
Nice. Playing for the first time? Using any guides?

Back when I was playing Persona 4 I thought Power Charge had a turn limit.
Man, that made some of the end bosses quite annoying >.<
P3 Drama CD, The Answer, and P4A spoilers incoming.
So I was looking at the Persona 4 The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena - Official Design Works and noticed something interesting. On Labrys's page there's some prototype character designs in it. The two prototype designs look like Metis from Persona 3 FES. I think this is pretty good evidence that the girl who Aigis met in the P3 Drama CD (whom Metis was based off of) and the girl who Labrys and her sisters called mother are one in the same. Assuming this is true, that effectively makes the girl Aigis's mother too.
Is "mother" supposed to be the sickly bedridden girl referred to in P4A? If so, I thought it was already stated in P4A that the ASSWs were all based on her as the origin of their personality so that they could gain a Persona? Or maybe I interpreted that wrong and it was just Labrys' model.
I don't know about the drama CD's timeline, so would it make sense that Aigis would be able to meet the same sickly girl even though she's presumed dead?
Also, looking at the Official Design Works now, I wouldn't say those Labrys prototypes with the giant, wooden looking axes resemble Metis.

Yup, that's the girl. She's not dead apparently. There's more info about her in the drama CD. She contacts Aigis in the first half and watches her through the month of September of the game. She later contacts Aigis near the end in January, a week before fighting the final boss. Apparently she communicates with Aigis via the internet (Yes she's internet enabled...)
In regards to all the ASSWs being based off this one girl, the Drama CD says this (Fan translation)
The girl in the drama CD shares her voice with Metis. Where as the girl in P4A shares her voice with Labrys. Which is why I suspected they were two different people, but now I'm almost certain they're the same girl.

Not so much the top one, but the bottom one certainly does. Also looks like a dark haired Aigis.
Catherine preowned for the 360 is $15+tax shipped for you Americans out there, if anyone needed one.

Y'all dont have an excuse now, go buy it.
It wasn't my first time playing (I played vanilla P4 back on the PS2, but never managed to beat it) and I only used a guide a couple of times, mainly for last few bosses though (mainlu on the boss battle in Marie's dungeon)

It was hard to play before all those games too.
I feel like just Let's Playing it, it's not really that much fun and more of a chore. Pity, I wanted to find out what the Snow Queen was all about.

Are you playing the PSP or PS1 version? Either way, it's a pretty easy game, and the story is worth experiencing. It's just a bit tedious.
Yep. Just know Nuclear, Light, and Dark do the most damage, and go from there. Every single party member had Megidolaon at the end of the game on their personas, and as long as you have strong regular weapons, no fight in the game is impossible, or hard, really.
Game is boring as crap til somewhere near the end though when the characters start really becoming characters.

Keep in mind SQQ's Thanatos Tower is the most challenging dungeon in the game, and tougher than anything in P3/P4. Even up to P2, almost. You can't save, and demons spamming AOE Mudo spells are everywhere.

Lol, when even you won't defend it, I guess I really am one of the lone defenders of it on this site!
I wish people could like it as much as I, but yeah, if you don't like it, try the Persona 2 Duology, both games with stories leagues better than P1. Gameplay could still use work, ESP the PSP version of Innocent Sin.
Yep about the characters. I personally feel that they are good characters stuck in an underwritten game. When
most of them show up in Persona 2 and are far more interesting,

I like P1, but I won't shy away from its flaws, and they are significant.

No kiddin, same here lol
Part of the reason I want the P1 cast to show back up in Persona 5 is simply because they've got so much backstory to explore. I mean
Plus, over ten years have happened since Persona 1. It would also balance out the feeling of the Persona 3 cast being the "experts" in the Shadow Operatives.
they stopped fucking NYX after all.

How far are you in EP buddha?
After Scrafty mentioned Trauma Center yesterday, I went and started Under the Knife. I got about halfway through it in one sitting. Continued it today and got to anther of those
and threw the game across the room.
The story is pretty "eh" so far. If I find the patience to continue past that level I will probably finish it.
Who did the art in this? It all looks familiar, but I can't put my finger on it. EDIT: Seems to be Maguro Ikehata. looks like one of the only games they've done. :/
triangle GUILT things that keeps regenerating

Haha, I think the first game is the hardest in the series.
But yeah, that part is fucking terrible.

I agree with both of these sentiments. Under the Knife 2 is my favourite for a few reasons:
1. It had juuuuuust the right level of difficulty: challenging, but not frustrating, and with fhe ability to drop down a level if you got stuck.
2. The characters and story are at their best. Even though the game tackles some heavy themes at certain points, it's not afraid to be cheesy as well. Special mention goes to
"The Healing Touch can also be used... FOR KILLING!"
3. The music is godlike. The last surgery's theme in particular is an epic tune, and among my favourite final boss themes ever.
4. The gameplay is balanced. Only one form of GUILT is "cheap," and the rest have logical, methodical ways of being dealt with once you get into the groove of things. The new tools and surgeries are also really satisfying.
5. The X-Missions. ATLUS gaming at its finest.
