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.

fount of knowledge posted:Yeah, it feels like Overclocked has literally no reason to be a 3DS game. So what I'm getting from this is that a company that doesn't publish their games outside japan and north america decided to put this game on the only handheld that's region locked, and it doesn't even use that handheld's unique features? No reason it couldn't have been on DS? Marvellous work, Atlus. Brilliant.

Cake Attack posted:Anyone have any idea what this could be? I can't think of any feature that was missing in P4 and that people may want. Might be female route, but would they be cryptic with something so big? A reroll button when fusing personas! Man, when I woke up and found over 200 posts in this thread since last night I was pretty pumped, but I have zero interest in fighting games of any sort, so that and finding out that they're only just now starting development on P5 was a huge letdown. I thought one of the reasons behind Catherine was as a test-run for a current-gen engine they could then use for main-series games, but I guess that was just some wishful thinking fan theory?

I hope the simultaneous attack thing has been significantly reworked for this game. In P3P it was just like the followup attacks that P4 already has, but boring as poo poo because it was exactly the same for every character.

Mr. Fortitude posted:That deal seems to affect Japan only. So no, North America would still get the games published under Atlus USA while Europe just won't get the games at all unless someone feels like ponying up the cash for distribution rights in Europe. gently caress. I really had my hopes up for a moment there. Having a big name publisher making a long-term commitment to releasing Atlus games in Europe would've been awesome, but no we still don't get nice things

I think a female MC option in P4 could be better than in 3, since there's at least two characters in 4 having issues with gender roles. Could've been an interesting contrast to see how their relationships differ with a change of MC gender. Kind of like how Yukari opened up way faster to female MC.

Yeah, the second time I played P4 I thought I could take the Contrarian King right after the first boss with my superior knowledge of the game's mechanics. I fused up a persona with physical resistance, cast Tarunda and Sukunda on the King, his Rampage still one-shot everyone including the MC.

Zombies' Downfall posted:Oh hey then you're the person to ask whether the game keeps getting harder after the bath house, because holy gently caress this is harder than anything in P3 was and I've gotten three or four gameovers on normal enemies Which normal enemies? I know the bathhouse is where you start seeing enemies like the chained big cats and the mages with the hand-shaped cloaks, who have no elemental weakness and very high damage output, but they have a secret weakness. They're super-vulnerable to status effects. Like 99% chance of it working, even on things like "physical damage with a low chance of confusion."

On a first attempt you also have the fun of falling for his Red Wall bullshit and negating whatever damage you managed to do during the first three turns. I still remember how that made me yell at the screen.

Yyyyeah, what I remember from her s-link and christmas eve event was that acceptance of herself didn't mean she was going to start being "girly", that made her embarrassed and uncomfortable, so she was going to stick with what she was comfortable with, just not going so far as hiding her gender anymore. But I guess she decided she'd rather be embarrassed and uncomfortable? Okay

Catalina posted:I was hoping/expecting that at least you'd be able to select the inherited skills, Edit: ^^^ WELP And also because I haven't played Devil Survivor due to not liking tactical RPGs. Did that game have those ability slots with the dashes and the red background when fusing something, and if so was that to show slots where you could pick the skills you wanted?Also I think they've tweaked Yukiko's blushing portrait so it looks a little less like she's drunk now, so there's another improvement.

I think it's worth saving and checking out the bad ending just to see how depressing it is. Your last chance to save beforehand is pretty obvious, as it's one day during a set of exams where the game actually stops and allows you to save before going on to the next day. But yeah, the only difference between the good and true endings is that the true ending has more stuff added on, so you don't miss anything by skipping the good end.

I really don't get where this "Chie sounds like like an old lady" thing keeps coming from, I just don't hear it. She was fine, the only bad part of her whole performance was "Aha, is this our chance" This new one on the other hand is terrible. Like almost Star Ocean 4 levels of bad here, she sounds completely unnatural and forced. I don't think I could listen to this for a whole game.

How can you say you died because your persona was weak to the enemies' abilities, then complain there's no feedback about what you're doing wrong?  Don't use a persona with that weakness in that area! Better still, go and fuse one that's resistant to what killed you. Elemental strengths and weaknesses are the major part of this game's combat, always be exploiting the enemy's weaknesses and trying to cover your own.So long as you explore each floor thoroughly and don't avoid too many battles you shouldn't be underlevelled. What's more likely to happen is your personas are, they will fall behind you in level so you have to keep fusing new ones.

I think it's a deliberate choice on Atlus' part to leave it ambiguous enough that you could interpret it as either sex or just making out, whichever you'd rather it be. That way they can attract that lucrative otaku creeper money without putting off the wider JRPG market.

Edit: to buy from amazon.com you'll need to enter a valid US address as your billing address.
