Someone mentioned looking at their spines in the last thread, and it really bears repeating. Their upper torsos are seriously deformed.

Catalina posted:That makes me really happy to hear! I don't have a PS3 or Xbox360 and wouldn't have been able to buy it at launch anyway, so I'm happy to hear it's doing so well. The game was unique and seemed like kind of a risk (the good kind), so it's great it's doing so well and so many people are enjoying it. I bought a few of the One Coin figures (mostly for the Jack Bros) and they are not bad. http://www.videogamemm.com/thehorde/main.php?g2_itemId=14388 I don't buy many of those types of things but I like looking at them on the internet when they get released. It's kind of a bummer that they have like four different Aigis figures while many other characters (and Persona 1 and 2 entirely) are totally ignored. Someday they will make either a Katsuya or a Baufu statue and I'll have to break down and get one. A long time ago I got some limited edition SMT3 Nocturne figures since some web store was selling them off for real cheap with the Nocturne card game which I guess wasn't popular. They were pretty bad quality and Chiaki came with two left arms.

The idea of a 3DS Persona game is something that I don't think my body could handle. It would be like literal crack to me. I would become pale and emaciated and found dead two weeks later clutching the 3DS in a pool of my own fluids.

I think I'm just going to wait for Persona 2 PSP to come out here. I'm enjoying the translated rom but as lame as this may sound, I'd like to actually pay for it and the enhanced version probably has slight UI improvements.

Orange Fluffy Sheep posted:Back after P4 was released they said it wouldn't have an FES or anything because it was the complete version. Yeah, that's true. I believe they've also stated that they didn't like the idea of doing a Persona 4 Portable because of the limitations in graphics and that sort of storytelling that P3P had. Personally, I don't think a P4P it's in development now, but I don't believe it's completely out of the question, despite what their official statements have been. There will be an anime of Persona 4, the new generation of portables have more technical capabilities, it's a timely time to come out with a new rerelease, and yeah, money. Personally, of course, I hope there will be one.

One problem with a P4P: severe lack of dateable guys. Once you eliminate the ones with existing romantic entanglements and/or incompatible preferences, that leaves, what? Kou (boring) or Teddie ( )Maybe they could give Funky Student a social link.

As cool as a P4P would be, I wish they would concentrate in Persona 5 already. It's been almost 4 years is P4 came out and we haven't heard anything about 5.

It's only been three years since Persona 4 came out, and they've been working on Persona 5 since they finished Persona 3 Portable. They could make Persona 4 Portable and add a bunch of new characters and things except that 1) they're working on more important games and 2) Persona 4 sold pretty drat poorly in the west. Who knows, we could always get a spin-off game based on the cartoon somehow

I would actually love to see more handheld SMT games. A new Persona game on a 3DS or Vita would be awesome in my opinion. I mean, I have a PS3, so I would obviously pick up any new console games. But I find my tastes shifting more to the portable sides these days.

That's not counting the student council president and Ryoji, though. You might replace the Moon and Devil social links. Or... or not. If they ever make a P4P I really hope they keep Kanji's social link the same. It feels like it would be appropriate for either sex.

Justice posted:Unless 'underselling by 40,000 units' is a sales record. Yeah. At least you'll be getting one sale from me when it comes out. Brand new, since it comes with a preorder bonus, and the money goes directly to the publisher. In September, which is the worst month for video game consumers, because so many games come out at once.  (Warning: the following is information I pulled out of my memory, and was too lazy to research) I've always been kind of curious. Didn't Atlus project 150,000 sales for Persona 4 in the United States, while sales for Persona 3 and FES were somewhat far below that? Also, I think the 110,000 sales figure was the total sales at the end of 2009. Which is pretty drat important in an investment and return sense, but I wonder how many English copies of the game have been sold in the 2010-present time period. There was a lot of fan activity and interest on the internet during 2009-2010. I wonder how many people were holding out until they were sure there wasn't going to be an extended rerelease, or became interested in the series because of some of the popular fanworks. If I was investing money, I doubt that would convince me to put money on a project that undersold, though. ETA: I can't believe I wrote 3 paragraphs on real world stuff instead of the possible dating simulation elements of a Persona 4 Portable; something is wrong with me today.

Yeah, for some reason Atlus USA thought releasing it three weeks before Christmas of 2008 was a good idea, because P4 was totally going to compete with Gears of War 2, Left 4 Dead, Fallout 3, Rock Band 2, and that year's other holiday heavyweights. P3 was released in August, and FES in April, which just might have had something to do with the better sales.

People tend to underestimate the value of the long tail when it comes to revenue and the like. For instance, most movie studios make the majority of their profit off DVD sales and not box office turn-outs. Box office is a big deal 'cause it's easy to report on and sounds really nice, and it's not to say it isn't important, but there's a lot of value in the longevity of a product. Games don't work quite the same way as movies do, of course, but if the sales are steady month to month, then it still warrants a win. That's why Atlus always publishes in very small doses--it keeps costs down and demand high, and so they'll sell out quickly and only make as many as they need.

So, wait, as far as dating Shinji is concerned, does that mean he doesn't die in the girl MC storyline, or do you have to max his S.Link out before that happens? And, I'm almost afraid to ask, do you end up "sharing a special evening" with Ken?

You have to max his S.Link out before it happens. You have like a month but he shows up most nights so it's not too difficult. And no, I don't think so. Schlegel Mach posted:An anime game based on an anime based on an anime game. It's anime all the way down.

You HAVE to max out his social link. Him surviving only makes sense within the context of the last events of the social link. From what I've read, you do, but the MAX RANK scene has been toned down in the English version to *specifically* not be sexual. The Japanese version was not. I have no idea about the Christmas event, though. ^^^^^^^^^ ETA: PsychoInternetHawk posted:FES had been out for months by the time vanilla P3 made it overseas. Go figure.

While the fade-to-black message for every other Rank 10 dating link is "You spend a long time with (character)", the message for Ken is "You spend a long time talking with Ken". So, y'know, I guess at least they at least acknowledged how weird it was, sort of?
