Yeah it's pretty fucking anime at times, especially when anything happens. Too fucking anime at times.
I'm going to go play a PS1 game while holding the controller with my pinky out.

One game has Reiji & Xiaomu and is $30 cheaper.

Including all the sad things that happen in TLOU.
Are these supposed to be excuses?
I think what they did to Maki and Elly was most hilarious. They have natural hairstyles for Japanese people. So they turned them BRIGHT RED and BRIGHT STRAWBERRY BLONDE. Two of the most quintessential anime hair colors. >_>;
This is how I read it.

Also true :'(

They were the protagonists of Namco X Capcom.
Now it all makes sense.
They've aged pretty noticeably, but I'll save CJ the trouble of posting to tell you that they actually haven't aged that bad at all and are totally perfect!
It's a completely different style of RPG. Heavy amounts of dungeons(first-person dungeoning mostly in 1, and isometric dungeons in 2) and kinda bland graphics.
Don't play the PS1 version of the original Persona. Persona 1 Portable is a bit of an acquired taste. Both halves of Persona 2 have aged a lot better, and the PSP versions are pretty fantastic.
Persona 2's graphics are anything but bland. I feel that only applies to Persona 1, as it has a bit of an identity crisis as a game.
Tamanon with dat ether.
The character portraits alone rival Persona 3's and Persona 4's.
Eh, I love Persona 2 personally, but it's tough for me to go back to now. Maybe it's just the color scheme.

Um, I keep hearing this, but I don't understand it. I played IS, and there's about as much for each character in that one as there was in 3/4. Less if you count the different outfits they can also have on in 3/4. Certainly is that way looking at 4's artbook anyway. Unless you mean the different directions and poses, then I guess I can understand.
It's about the same for all four games. They've all got a variety of expressions thanks to what I assume is Soejima's attention to detail. Only Persona 1 is lacking (and I was HOPING the remake would fix that...)
I love the expressions Eikichi and Lisa have tho. They're so great. <3

Maybe he means literally the sprites? I agree the expressions are pretty similar in variance.
Though P1's have, uh, none. (Which lets you use your imagination!)
Appreciated!
Yeah it's the latter. In P3/P4 there's a heavy emphasis on using the same sprite art with different facial expressions. Not that it's a bad thing, I just prefer P2s style more.
EDIT: I can't get enough of Eikichi and Lisa's sprites myself, haha.
And the shadow sprites are goddamn hilarious

akihiko's surprised face always bugged me
so does innocent sin maya's serious business face
the ep version is sort of a "bitch are you kidding me" but in is she looks like she's constipated

I vastly prefer Maya's EP expressions.
Except her horrified one in IS, that gave me chills.
We're approaching five years since Persona 4 came out. Three years since the game's development was first confirmed.
Made this site just so I have something to stare at to not go mad. The worst part is, I can almost guarantee that Atlus/Index's situation means that Persona 5 won't be announced near TGS, or even be at the show itself.
Always Q1 2014...

there was a six year gap between ep and p3 where we literally had nothing persona-related released
in the five year gap between p4 and p5 you've had every title in the series ported, cartoons, movies, magazines, etc.
quit your bellyachin' and enjoy the things they are giving to you

But I want MOAR.
I dunno if Arena continuing on 4's story and bridging the others was a good thing or a bad thing. Figured good as it meant other stuff was right around the corner. HA!

exclusive sneak peak at p5's theme song
pay special attention to the lyrics, they are very meaningful for this current conversation.

when asked about it, atlus said "this song expresses our feelings to our fans"
