So I missed the Newegg deal last week, any other cheap-ish ways to get this or am I SOL?

LiquidRain posted:Regarding the story, watch the P4 anime. It's well done and gives you 90% of the story in 25 enjoyable episodes! Too bad you're in Japan, though, Americans get it on Hulu. Once you're done with the anime go lookup the endings to P4 on YouTube, and there's no need to play the game at all at that point. Although they just announced that the American Blu-Rays won't have a Japanese audio track, likely for the same rear end-backwards reason the PS3 version of the game is region locked (read: Japan thinks 80 dollars for 2 episodes is a fair price for a DVD).

LiquidRain posted:The Hulu version, at present, is Japanese with subs. If they use the original cast (or as close to it as you can, see: Chie) for the Blu-Rays I wouldn't feel too miffed on English only considering the generally stellar job they did, but it's still such a bizarre decision not to include the Japanese audio. It makes no sense, considering the typical anime audience. Well the decision is "The Americans get the same product but for less money, what's to stop Japanese fans from reverse importing?" Basically, Japan's entire entertainment industry is corrupt and rear end-backwards as hell. Hell, this is pretty much why Bandai shut down their entire US operation.

Axle_Stukov posted:I think he's getting at the fact it's in the single player mode, yet you can't pick it for online fights. It is a bit weird too, that P4's normal boss theme isn't selectable, but the final boss theme is selectable for online matches. You have no idea how annoyed I am that Master of Tartarus isn't available at all. Anyway, is there any actual confirmation for what the unlock conditions are for the other Navigators? Hiro Protagonist posted:I like Persona 4, but I'm not done with it. Are there major spoilers for it in the game? I know some things, like characters, but I don't want the "mystery" revealed. Haven't dug too deep in story mode yet, but the only things spoiled from the True Ending route in P4 are (and neither of these are big at all) A) The main character does NOT die or meet a BAD END (which is pretty rare for a SMT game, actually) & B) Izanagi becomes Izanagi-no-Ookami (which is downright expected after P3). If you really want to know the story, Persona 4 The Animation is up in full on Hulu. It pretty much covers the Good Ending route, but they're going to add an extra episode for the True Ending in the Blu-Ray boxset later this month. 404GoonNotFound fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Aug 8, 2012 |

So regarding the story mode: Are the branches obvious? Because the first choice in Yu's story seemed to do absolutely nothing, and I kinda forgot to see if beating Yosuke with an SP Skill did anything different (I DID try losing, however). Basically between X2 and CT I've been  as hell about every single ASW story mode.

Dresh posted:Some of the branches do matter, Yu's don't change anything (which seems somewhat appropriate actually) but I got some "bad endings" with Chie and Kanji with branch selection. I haven't experimented with combat performance at all, but it's pretty common for ArkSys to utilize that as well. But it's all text choices, right? No Must lose/Must win with an SP Skill/Must win with an Instant Kill branches? I'm having flashbacks to Dizzy's fight with Boss I-No back when I was in high school again

ShooterHeart1CC posted:Did anyone beat it? I'd like to know the reward if there is any and how many levels there are. Rumor has it that you unlock one of the Navigators for beating it with one character and another for beating it with everyone. But seeing as how I hit a wall at level 3... no fuckin' idea. The Chairman posted:This is the first online fighting game I've ever played, and I'm getting absolutely wrecked in ranked matches. It's a fun pain, though. If you can handle a bit of embarassing art Amazon has a special on the Brawl Stick, which is pretty much the same thing as the SE stick that came out along with Street Fighter IV. You'll want to get the actual joystick replaced with a proper Sanwa part sooner than later, but other than that it's perfectly capable. Of course, Madcatz almost always has one coupon code or another up around the time of major tournaments if you watch the streams. Hell, they're doing a launch party for P4A tonight on Wednesday Night Fights, you might get lucky if they have a twitter contest or something. 404GoonNotFound fucked around with this message at 02:01 on Aug 9, 2012 |

Cityinthesea posted:What's up with arcade mode? I got the achivement for "beating" it with one character, but it ended just as they were leaving and Labrys was going to (story spoilers) get controlled by Eerie Voice/Malevolent Entity or something I assume; do I need to play it on a higher difficulty? Nope, it's pretty much just an abbreviated Story Mode where 50% of the fights are randomized (1, 4, 6 and 8 are pre-determined for each character).

It doesn't say whether it's online only or if you can do versus or something. Well if you set it up at night it would take still take about 7 days to unlock. And that's if you got 8 hours per night like an average, well-adjust person, which we all know most goons/gamers aren't.

I wish I could tell who does her voice. Shadow Labrys sounds like Wendee Lee, but I can't be 100% sure about anything these days. Whoever does it, the accent is well-done. It's quirky and something I actually love hearing, for a change of pace.

Latuh!" and "Soooooooo laaaaaame~" are probably the best. At this point Mitsuru is pretty much Tony Stark meets Bruce Wayne meets James Bond. Even if she wasn't S-Tier she would be The Best Character. Everyone pointing out how silly/unstealthy her outfit is in Story Mode is just the icing on the cake.

Bite Into A Bambino... sure title system, why not. Also, after grinding through Story Mode a bit, I am probably never playing Aigis again if I have a say in the matter. I dunno, everything about her just feels awkward, what with trying to keep your bullet usage to the bare minimum. Outside Orgia you're just cowering and trying to get that meter filled and IN Orgia you're gambling about whether that last SB Megido Fire will finish them off or if you're SOL for the next 15 seconds with a grey meter... yeah, gonna stick with Mitsuru's poking games, thanks. 404GoonNotFound fucked around with this message at 13:01 on Aug 11, 2012 |
