So what kind of weapon does the female protagonist use, and what type of damage does it deal (strike slash pierce)? I remember when I started playing P3 through the digital version of Fes (before I got glitched and my save data died) that you could use whatever weapon you wanted with the exception of guns and knives, but then the male protagonist in portable can only use 1 hand swords.

She uses Naginatas exclusively and it counts as slash. The game effectively treats their weapons as the same weapons, just with different icons.

 

[Trigger]

FeMC being able to box is on my list P3P wishes. Naginatas are boring.

And where did she even learn how to use one?

 

[Sophia]

Probably self trained. Her wielding a Naginata is likely a gender stereotype, as Naginatajutsu is often learned by women if I understand correctly.

Not that I mind, I like Pole weapons.

 

[buddha0991]

I feel like im still on the boat, rockin back and forward and shit, gettin dizzy, send help.

 

[CrazyTank940]

The girl uses some kind of hockey stick.

Well how aboot that, there's a canadian person in a japanese rpg, eh

So it's still slash huh, well either way it's just a sword or a blade on a stick

I agree. These edits are insane.

Not when they are hockey sticks!

And for that matter, where did MC learn to use all his weapons then. ;p

Aaaw man, preordering P4G in the UK gets you set of badges? :O

Apparently he is just that badass. The guy (and gal) adapts. Bloody trainstations? Sudden darkness all over the place?Need to shoot yourself in the head? No problem.

Persona-GAF will take over once Persona 5 is announced.

Haha, probably. I do wonder how long our little community will last.

Hmm. I'm consistently #5/6 in these.

I'm gonna see if I can find more pics of the new merch at WonFes.

 

[Omikaru]

Will I pay £34.99 to get that set of pins from GAME? There is a distinct possibility that I may.

 

[Jintor]

I'm always a contender, never the king ;__;

 

[jello44]

I'm telling you guys, Sophia is a robot.

I just wish I had more proof.

 

[CrazyTank940]

Have you tried going to tactics and setting the AI to Orgia mode? It might work

 

[Jintor]

See if she's got feet or not.

 

[buddha0991]

If Sophia is a robot, what does that make me?

 

[Jintor]

A shadow.

You know, the true self.

 

[jello44]

A ghost.

On that note, I've been trying to think of something witty to reply to this thread.... but I'm laughing too hard.

Haha, I really can't justify buying a third copy of Golden. I know one of the guys who works in the local GAME, so I might ask him if he has any spares. I have a feeling he'll say no though.

 

[we.are.the.armada]

So if you had to choose one, which would you rather have in Persona 5:

1. Elementary school student party member
2. Female, robot maid party member
3. Mascot, comic relief party member

Persona-GAF will take over once Persona 5 is announced.

Definitely, both for the good and bad that comes of it. It is a big deal after all, Atlus has succeeded in taking their IP to better heights and made P4 one of the greatest JRPGs ever, now they have a high bar to hit with this next entry.

 

[Jintor]

can't i have a mascot comic relief robot maid high-schooler

 

[Trigger]

can't i have a mascot comic relief robot maid high-schooler

I like the way you think.

3. It will be Jack Frost or Black Frost.

 

[suzu]

A mascot/cute animal party member.

 

[Dantis]

This is the only right answer.

 

[we.are.the.armada]

But, Trigger, what do you think?

A mascot/cute animal party member.

Yeah, Teddie was great. Just annoying and cute enough, I liked the guy. I hope they bring in something like...

3. It will be Jack Frost or Black Frost.

This. What an iconic design, does anybody know where it first showed up? The Jack Frost, I mean.

 

[Sophia]

This. What an iconic design, does anybody know where it first showed up? The Jack Frost, I mean.

I dunno when it appeared exactly, but it has to be an old design; It's in Megami Tensei 2 for the NES.

Also I an given the distinct impression that your poll is biased considering we've had two of those three options already, yet we haven't had the robot maid.

 

[Delusibeta]

Aaaw man, preordering P4G in the UK gets you set of badges? :O

tbh I'd take that over the PSVita skin. The catch, however, is that it's a GAME exclusive, and frankly I don't fancy paying an extra £5 just for the badges (especially considering with ShopTo, I'll probably be playing on the Thursday)

Damn, I guess it was my Freudian slip!

Hey, you know Sophia, your avatar has got me thinking... what if the P5 protag is a robot, similar to Aegis, but indistinguishable from a human, okay? And the thing is, this particular android doesn't know that it is an android, and thus, you are a blank slate to become "human". I think that could be a good premise.

Male MC looks like JC Denton or Adam Jensen, Female MC looks like Motoko Kusanagi

But that'd be Labrys all over again...

I actually thought of that idea some time ago, but not in respects to a Persona game. The biggest issue with it is that it'd be covering ground that Aigis/Labrys/Metis/

Spoiler

Kanaru

already covered story-wise, so you'd just be setting up for a Robotic Reveal.

But that'd be Labrys all over again...

Yeah exactly. If they hadn't already done it (not just once, but FOUR TIMES) it'd make a great premise.

If Male MC looks like Denton, then magician is Gunther. His social link will be all about investigating why the soda machine gave him orange soda instead of lemon lime

2's already in Soul Hackers! Outside of being a party member anyway.

Catherine's OST doesn't get nearly as much mention as it deserves. Been listening to this, and good lord it's amazing. Very Persona-esque.

It loses some of its charm when you spend HOURS on that stage.

But yes, Catherine is sheer perfection.

My favorite song was On The Lamb(Between Man & Woman).

At least, not in Persona. We get that in April.
