Persona 4
His first game was actually Atlus Print Club.
I think he was referring to them working as a team though.
A lot.
He just didn't think Cathy was very good. And the review wasn't too crazy either.

P4A was #9 on his top ten GOTY list, and P4G was his '1a' (not '1') due to it being a port he hadn't finished!
NEMESIS!

I like P4A. Shoot me.
MAYBE I DO TOO.
I actually really don't want to play it (But have to because it's Persona!). Even with my expectations so low, I cannot come away not disappointed.
Fortunately, Atlus has me covered, ho hum.

The ultimate twist

It's a damn shame that didn't catch on. I've gotten friends who have no idea what Catherine is into it, and we've had some hype matches with very minimal introduction needed.
Maybe I don't even know what Persona is! Maybe this whole thing has been a big lie! Maybe I've never played a single one of the games!
Maybe this act I've been putting on has just been....
A persona!

Loved how he wrapped up that bit. "Sorry Europe!"
Jeff is easily one of the best critics out there. He didn't like Carhy, but it was clear when they announced it he wanted to.
I, however, could probably afford to play the whole thing myself.

I've gotten into January of Persona 4 Golden, and my interest in the story has pretty much disintegrated now that it's gotten all weird with god-killing a stuff.
I feel like I'm everything the old-school Persona community hates.
I think my real beef with it though is that it's adding what are the deep staple elements of the Persona series' plots into a story that is completely different from the past ones. I enjoyed my detective-scooby doo story, damnit!
I suppose I'm at odds with those who want something more similar to the old games, eh? I just want another dose of Persona 4-like goodness, although I don't know if it's possible for Atlas to create another cast of characters that I'll like as much as these ones.

Two of my favorite Yukiko moments so far, the first one in reply to MC asking her if she's okay with the floor:

BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO

I have been trying to blitz through Innocent sin. How far am I from beating the game? I know shadow Maya is probably the next boss. I should also mention that I'm playing on easy.

After you fight everyone's shadow, you go to the final dungeon.

Since your at Shadow Maya, I would say your about 65% in the game. Also,
did you collect all the 4 masks?
BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO
Junior Member
Masks? That's how you get the ultimate personas right? Do you get those through side quest? I have been totally rushing through the game (I'm only playing it for the story). I haven't even touched side quest). I remember seeing something about masks on the guide I'm following. I just beat
king leo
You've missed them then, I think.
You get them in Mt. Whateveritscalled before you fight Shadow Maya.
Don't know if anyone has said this already but I think there's a chance Igor won't be in Persona 5 due to his VA's death. They have gone to great lengths to prevent getting a new VA, reusing same voice clips from the game onto Arena and the anime and then having him practically ignore Marie's existence in Golden.
If Atlus decides to ditch Igor, i'm gonna miss dat nose.

IIRC this is right before that, and it not to much of a side-quest just that in the mountain there are a few hidden masks. Get them and it'll make the rest of the game easier.

I think they'll just have him be mostly silent while they introduce a different character to sit around and talk about how unique and special and wonderful the protagonist is.

I think Philemon's coming back.
I dunno, Japan is pretty sketchy when it comes to replacing VAs. But you never know, he's such an integral part of the game that they just might have to.
This.
And I said this in the P4G OT (and I'm not the first to say it), but I think the symbolic equipment the team carries (P3: Evokers, P4: Glasses) will be touch-screen smart phones. They'll correlate with a sort of Mifnight Hotline (if you will) and I think that's how the party could meet each other; calling said hotline and being connected to each other (though I expect it to be like P4 where two-three characters already know each other.)
And just placing an emphasis on cell phones opens the doors to introduce some cool stuff!

The theory from GameFAQs made me laugh.

So, what is Velvet Room anyways? And what is Igor and all of his beautiful assistants? A fragment of any MC's psyche? But that can't be since the residents of that room are shown to have their own physical body, intelligence, and even will (Elizabeth trying to free P3 MC for example.) What are they?

Persona 2 explains it in a lot more detail. Then after Philemon got owned by Nyarlathotep and lost his body, Igor took over and decided 'screw these musicians and that damn beatnik, I'm getting me a harem'.
In a nutshell. they're servants of Philemon who are there to help Persona users awaken to their potential.
As opposed to Nyarlathotep who wants humanity to remain useless and have no ability to change their fates.

I don't think I am gonna play Persona 2 anytime soon, if ever actually. Can you explain?

Eldritch aboms? Take some pics for us!
I want to know what they do with the money. Also is there a world full of yellow eyed demons? Do they have a high school?
The Velvet Room just seems to be the place that exists between a person's consciousnesses, their personal unconsciousness, and the collected unconsciousness. Igor himself is just a doll given life by Philemon. He remarks he's very similar to Aigis in this respect. I've always worked under the assumption that the "residents" are Shadows or other similar beings that have gained an ego of their own. There's some evidence to support this: Marie and Metis were both from the "other side", and Tedide (a shadow) eventually found his way there after forming an ego. Elizabeth, Margaret, and Theodore all have the same kind of eyes that are present for Shadow Selves too.

I explained a bit more in the edit above, but basically
-Philemon sets off the spark(see: Izanami in P4), and Igor & co. do the fine-tuning.
Philemon's all but dead by the time of P4, but he still lingers in spirit(the butterfly save points), and Igor still helps where he can.
What his assistants are, I have no clue, but Elizabeth's wildly different from Nanashi(the pianist) and Belladonna(the singer). They're just kind of there.
Elizabeth gets involved.
Wouldn't surprise me if they're demons of some kind. I always suspected Belladonna and Nanashi were.

So is Philemon is like, the ultimate god in the Persona universe or something?

Is DJ Kanada going to split open into many mouthed, tentacled globes? I'll take more please!
Sure, he's the ultimate good. Narlyathotep is the ultimate bad.

More like ultimate law and chaos. You could make an argument that Philemon is just as bad as Nyarlathotep for letting Maya die.
Yeah this is more like it, but I wouldn't say Philemon is "just as bad", he doesn't intentionally cause evil acts, he's just bound by some rules that for whatever reason don't apply to good old Nyarly.

Well he does hand out ~Wild Card~ abilities to everyone he comes in contact with and hurls Armageddons right back at you if you try to cast it on him
