So are there gonna be differences between Part and 4 versions? BC they could just sell one digital version and run it on both.

project diva f and persona 4 golden are the only reasons to touch a vita

I can't wait to spend an extra $400 to play a turned based anime game at 60 fps instead of 30. You did it atlus.

very basic dungeon crawling, ok crafting for power/customization, huge focus on NPC interaction (that affects the crafting), slight life sim management (have to deal with passage of time)

I might be wrong I only played a bit of it since I don't like interacting with NPCs too much (also the reason I still didn't play more of recettear.

one part anime dating sim one part corridor dungeon grinds one part card crafting basically the perfect blend of a lot of bad things alchemically transforming into something people like for some reason. idk, it's just another weird thing to me.

thats pretty accurate

i like persona, however, it's definitely not something everyone will enjoy. you have to have a relatively high tolerance for visual novels because that's a huge portion of the game

persona is the best series because it let us read posts where people whine about anime dating sims and fanservice and then ask why more games like persona 4 golden don't come out on the vita

that's every post in the vita thread

The numbered SMT games are way better than Persona as a series after 2 because they lack the weird dating mechanic/social link stuff.

I liked persona 4 because the time management stuff and the dating sim stuff had to be strategically balanced along with the dungeon crawling. I also like that all of the songs are in English but you have no way of knowing that unless you look up the lyrics.

there is a lot of hypocrisy for sure but there are definite levels of anime creepy and persona 4 golden is on the lower end of the scale. it's just that most games people freak out about in the vita thread are also on the lower end.

theres really gross stuff out there that people openly admit to liking in other threads

To be fair though the protagonists in 2 were way cooler especially in Eternal Punishment; it was refreshing to see a protagonist other than a 15 year old.

yeah since they're dead set on the high school stuff it seems i'd at least like them to play around with maybe a teacher as the main character? idk it'd be nice to see a different take on it

yeah but they've hit on a winning formula with high school and dating stuff and they don't want to have the crushing depression associated with college in japan, so it's gonna have s. links and star a 15-16-year-old

You'd think a series like this would want to explore that crushing depression given the cultural reflection it's been known for :(

these are still niche games, with persona 4 selling a little more than half a million, smt iv a little less, strange journey a quarter of a million... they don't want to endanger a winning formula too much and their main market is still japan. only the devil survivor games have done better in north america
