I like Chie's new voice I never liked the old voice though.Volt Catfish posted:It's not GOTY unless they made Naoto viable. I haven't gotten that far yet but looking at the changes in the OP they did. Naoto has no weaknesses (everyone else keeps a weakness now), gets the skill that evades every element, can learn every -Dyne spell and Mind Charge, gets Heat Riser (raises every stat on a character), now gets the spells that can reflect a physical or magic attack, and since the spells are all mana heavy gets passive MP regen. Seems alright!

Ha, I did some grinding, got to level 16ish and absolutely thrashed Yukiko's fight. I had a fire resistant persona with Red Wall all ready to go and just kept Red Wall up on Chie. It seems they switched the weaknesses over in that fight... it is weak to ice and the partner is not. Oh well, Chie never got hit by fire and it was a comfortable fight. I'm playing on Hard and it seems to be a pretty good difficulty, seems to me to be about as difficult as my first playthrough on Normal. I love helping people with the SoS thing and reading their messages later. I rarely get more than 1 person encouraging me in a fight though. They added a lot of stuff to do in the day, I am really short on time at the moment, I just want to get Yosuke and Chie's links higher... What link do they start dying for you in battle?

I'm loving how the more critics scores are added, the higher P4G's metacritic gets. Warms my heart. PS: GET THIS GAME IF YOU DO NOT HAVE IT. PSS: Honestly, it's worth buying a Vita for P4G. Not only because P4G is phenomenal, but because the Vita is an awesome piece of hardware that is greatly under-appreciated at the moment.

This is also a shining example of how to do a meaningful port. They added so much poo poo that it's totally worth it for even people who played the vanilla version to death. They tweaked a bunch of stuff and straight up cut out all the unnecessary bullshit like reloading skills and the shuffle time mini-game. They also added a bunch of cool extra stuff that they didn't have to like the whole tv thing in the extra menu (which isn't just a place to view old cinematics like I originally thought it was) [e] I'm kinda disappointed that they took out the crazy Japanese food you don't know anything about when cooking.

I'm honestly fine with Chie's new VA. Some of the line readings may be awkward, but I'll deal with that because the old "Aha! Is this our chance?" grated the poo poo out of me. This one, not so much. Loving the player voice feature, although it can give you some tiny, insignificant spoilers like if eating from the fridge will turn you in for the night. Also helped me figure out how to start Marie's link. EDIT: Are party members suppose to have voiced lines when they say things in the dungeon? I noticed the music volume goes down when the dialogue box appears, but they don't say anything. Vitamean fucked around with this message at 18:04 on Nov 22, 2012 |

I never really used it in vanilla P4 because the only worthwhile stuff you'd get were Persona cards and even those were mostly useful for fusion fodder. Arcana Chance was pointless, because why in the hell would I want to risk getting 1 EXP from the next ten fights or have my persona's stats decreased or some poo poo like that? The rewards were occasionally nice, but it just wasn't worth it.

Arcana Chance was always pretty easy to manipulate from what I remember, it's just that the really good stuff like extra exp, money, and healing all of your stuff was always so rare that it begs the question why it was ever really worth it.

It's funny- earlier this year, I was all stoked to get a Vita just to play P4G since I had just finished P3P. After a while I decided, "You know, I'll just play the PS2 version. It'll be mostly the same game and way cheaper that way." Well, turns out that backfired- I liked the PS2 game so much that I was totally willing to grab the Vita just to play Golden. I have no regrets

The biggest thing for me is scene skip. I see there's a feature in the OP, but what does it entail? Can everything with text be skipped instantly? I love playing the game but there's some things I rather skip on replays. There's some good deals on the Vita but I'm really having trouble pulling the trigger for one just game. I'm so close to doing it.

I love playing the game but there's some things I rather skip on replays. You hit Start during a cutscene to bring the option up. Hit Start again to zip through the cutscene, and Start another time to resume it. There's a text log for cutscenes if you press Select, too. It even replay the specific voice clip for each line.

I love playing the game but there's some things I rather skip on replays. Press Start during any dialogue/cut-scene/etc... and it'll start fast-forwarding through the dialogue very quickly. The Fast-forwarding will stop temporarily if there is a choice you have to make, but after you select it it'll resume fast-forwarding. Pressing Start again, as you might guess, stops the skipping. As a nice little touch, it actually puts a classic "screen-tear" that happens to your TV when you fast-forward a VHS Movie.

one of the things that i'm loving most about this game so far is how easy it is to get chest keys. That was so obnoxious in the original and now hey, it's in shuffle time, COOL! Also would a team of chie yosuke teddie be viable throughout the game? i tried the opposite on the console and i'm a bit worried about double weakness. Will that be too big of an issue?

Must not read thread. Must not be spoiled. How are you supposed to kill gold monsters again? Is it just buff/debuff and hope for the best or is there a trick to it?

The early ones (don't remember about later) don't resist Almighty, so if you can get an all out attack off on one from a critical hit you're good. Usually I just rush and hope I get a crit.

That's it. You pick your cards directly now, with knockdowns and All-Out-Attacks increasing your chance of getting Shuffle Time.

I know this isn't all that important compared to all the other gameplay elements that were added for this port, but I just can't get over how gorgeous everything looks in this game. The environments, the details in the Persona designs that I never noticed before, just... everything. It's crisp and clear and lovingly rendered. It's like I'm wearing the glasses and the fog doesn't exist. Also, cleared the castle earlier today, and say what you want about Chie's new voice, but at least now she: 1) sounds like a teenager; 2) actually emotes during her scenes.

Will that be too big of an issue? You'll be fine, there are always workarounds. In both P3 and P4, virtually any team composition can be successful and beat the game. In the case of your double weakness to electric, you can use the "Blue Wall" skill and liberally Guard whenever needed. They also added some new skills to all the party members, "Evade Elec" being given to both Teddie and Yosuke, which will help, especially if you pair that with +Evade Electric accessories. In case you also didn't notice, your team will also have the problem of double-bufu (Chie and Teddie) users. Again, this isn't really a big deal. Just be aware that your MC will need to pick up the slack and be in charge of 4 elements (zio/agi/mudo/hama) for knockdowns, so fuse your Persona's accordingly! Teddie+Yosuke is also a great combo in P4G specifically because (minor gameplay spoiler, not story spoiler) like Sex_Ferguson mentioned, They're one of the combos to randomly perform a Combination Attack after an AoA, along with Yukiko+Chie, and Kanji+Naoto Happy Blue Cow fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Nov 22, 2012 |

To kill the rare hands, debuff their defence, and just wail on them hoping for a crit. Yukiko might be better off using fire spells because they do more a lot more than her pitiful attack damage, but then you're giving up the chance for an AoA from her getting a crit. Chie's rampage is great for this too, so it might be worth buffing her attack so she can aoe the 3 hands down together. In the second big dungeon, I was getting the third hand down to about 30% before it ran away, and the other two were killed no problem.
