Yeah, the artist for Devil Survivor suffers from serious same-face problems. In any case that isn't Nayoa, he's Yamato, some guy in charge of a "Special" investigation unit or something.

So I'm playing Overclocked at the moment, and I've after going through the Neutral ending the first time I played the game on the regular DS, I'm going for Yuzu's ending, which I assume is the easiest, right? Because fuuuuck fighting all those bosses again.

You won't even see those bosses on Yuzu's path, she gets like 2 easy battles and that's it.

Yeah, I'd be willing to bet that while there may be a few new boss-type monsters, most of the "new" ones in Overclocked are really old ones they're recycling. I'd have to see a list to be sure.

Yeah it's pretty much this, however there are a few brand new demons. On another note, what was Atlus thinking when they made the demon's voiced lines simply be generic grunts/sounds. I mean yeah, Jack Frost's HEEEE-HOOOO is cute, but when everyone else is voiced and the major boss I'm fighting speaks in a grunt it's kind of offsetting. Especially noticeable is Loki, who has voiced lines in his human form, then turns into his demon form and suddenly doesn't have voiced lines.

Important things y'all are ignoring:


Mopeds!



I can't even tell what's happening in these battle shots. I see Hero summoning Ame no Uzume, and Chie wearing some pink ballet outfit? And Yukiko dressed as some kind of... Santa?
If I can make Teddie wear his fabulous outfit inside of dungeons then I guess I'm going to have to buy a Vita. Those scenes with Yosuke though are pretty interesting, looks like he finally found the money to buy that motorcycle. Have to say the most important detail I'm noticing is that on the persona fusion screen the inherited skills are "blank", please tell me this means they're using Devil Survivor's system for skill inheritance.

Ok nevermind the fabulous outfit, I better be able to have Teddie wear what he's wearing here.
Looks like the roster for the fighter so far is : Minato, Yu, Chie, Aegis, and Yosuke. Not sure on who the Emperor person is, the image is way to whited out to tell if it's Kanji or Akihiko.

So looking at Mary/Marie's hat, I notice the gold button on her hat has a "V" on it. I really hope I'm just overthinking this and that she isn't somehow connected to the Velvet Room or some other nonsense.

You know, something about Marie's design just bugs me. I know it's too early to tell, but she just looks like a Mary Sue character inserted into the game. Her design is doesn't really fit the rest of the aesthetic of the Persona 4 characters.

Yeah, really thinking this is intentional now after seeing the clear screenshot of her. There is no way she isn't linked to the Velvet room with that "V" button on her hat.

I really hope that they add a way to chose what abilities you want to inherit while fusing, instead of just backing out a billion times until you get what you want, but I doubt it will happen.

I think this is what they're doing, the one screenshot showing the fusion menu showed the persona being fused with 2 blank skills instead of 2 named skills, so I can only hope this means they learned we all loved Devil Survivor's fusion method.

Overclocked is the definitive version but it's absolutely not worth it if you already have DS. You can just toss it into your drat 3DS and aside from a few new things you've got the same game. And no dumb 8th days where you make Cain help you assist God with the power of friendship.

Go play Naoya's 8th day then, and choose to KILL EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING, it should make you feel better.

Now Atlus, this was the screenshot you should have used for "new anime scenes" in your first preview. Man Teddie just looks so... adorablely clueless.


Looks like shuffle time has been seriously changed, or this is some new thing.


Seems like in addition to using Devil Survivor's Choose your own skill thing, they are keeping P3Ps Skill Card system too, judging by the card icon next to Lakshimi's Level 66 skill.

Sounds like almost any of the games would fit for you then, just keep in mind the Raidou/Devil Summoner series combat is more action game style. But yeah, Persona 3/4 would be a good next stop to get used to the combat in the rest of the series, since Devil Survivor doesn't throw Hama/Mudo and the buff/debuffs at you. Or if you're feeling daring, head to Nocturne and prepare for several game overs.

Speaking of her... I really wish Jin hadn't died, especially considering Takaya survived too.

Regarding the first event, It's not canon, during the Answer chapter in FES Junpei will talk about Chidori and it's quite clear she's 100% dead. Regarding Takaya, 99.9% sure he's dead too.

Also, doing the whole first dungeon on one day is a pain in the rear end unless you grind like hell and/or get lucky drawing those after-battle tarot cards that restore your SP.

The Arcana chance doesn't start happening until after you've finished the first dungeon. But yeah, try to go as far as you can the first day in a dungeon. Also physical attacks work very well early on, especially Skull Cracker in the second dungeon where there are 3 normally annoying enemies that get confused by it like 100% of the time.

Knew it was going to be those two. Akihiko just screamed perfect fit with his whole shtick being boxing anyways, and Mitsuru is probably tagging along with Aigis investigating just what went down in Inaba.

Some bigger screenshots of Akihiko and Mitsuru. Mitsuru has learned how to use something other then Marin Karin, kidding aside the Bufudyne looks like it hurts alot judging by how much of Yukiko's health is red. Akihiko though... take that cape off, it looks ridiculous on you.

Yukiko has the same problem. Though the only time that might be an issue is against the final boss

A moot point, the final boss has both of their weaknesses in it's spell list and it actually doesn't have a preference towards a particular element.

Goddammit. I'm stuck at the last battle of DS1. Anyone have any tips for beating Babel doing Atsuro's route?
For the first form, just Holy Dance it to death with a high magic user, or Pierce + strong physicals. Second form always starts off weak to Electricity, so have your MC(if he's magic based) or someone like Amane or Yuzu already where the boss will be and tear into him with Elec Dance powered by Amp/Boost and give them demons with the same setup. You should be able to kill him before he gets his first turn that way.

The usage conditions for the "normal" IKs that everyone has, is that you need to be point on match point, and they cost 100 SP to use. They are very slow and obvious, but seem to all be completely invincible, so they may have some situational use.
Watching the video Yosuke used his to punish Chie after her anti-air kick, so I can definitely see them being used from time to time.

Nevertheless, it is a pretty big issue, particularly with how DS2 seems to stack the turn order against you when you don't have a Vile.

It wouldn't surprise me if Viles were somehow bugged when used by the enemy and get faster turns instead of slower. I mean when I watch a team with a Vile get 3 turns to my units 1 turn I really think something's up.
