Fa la lanky down dilly, motherfuckers.
That's in the amagi inn episode, I think? Which, fanservice aside, had some fairly funnu stuff at time.

Well, I've not watched it, but I think any massive personality shifts can be explained as Yu switching Personas to advance that social link.

No, he's pretty clearly a troll. Part of the reason I never really liked that adaptation.

Wait, when the hell does that happen? Or is that how the subs did the "manwhore" part?

The Amagi inn, i am watching the dub since it uses more or less the same voice actors. Also the manwhore part is in the dub as well.

Yu switches between troll or serious depending on the episode. Also They seem to remove all the red herrings for Adachi, and make him even more of a bumbling detective.

The fact that he and Yu share the same VA makes things a little jarring going from the game to the anime, as Adachi's voice gets whinier and Yu, well.. Yu I guess? It's interesting, though, that the P3 Protag and Pharos/Ryoji also shared a VA.

I thought that was kind of the point because Pharos was, in essence, a part of MC and Ryoji mirrored that part. At least that's what I took away from P3. The VA thing could have just been a coincidence but I doubt it.

It's almost certainly so, considering they also share the same Japanese VA.

I still miss her. Hopefully they do some sort of persona Q rerelease with her as an extra character. I'd buy a 3DS just for that.

So, I go to the store, buy a used Vita and a copy of Persona 4 Golden, get home, and it turns out I can't play because I don't have a memory card. There are three types of cards, which one do I need?

Hahah I made that same mistake. You want the biggest one you can afford.

edit: 32gb is the biggest you can buy at retail I think, the 64gb would require you to order it online.

So probably a 4GB card. But there's also something called a PS Vita card that isn't the same as a memory card, which is why I'm confused.

Yeah, you can get them for as low as $108 on eBay. Pricey, but there's no other choice. And you could kinda think of the price as being offset by the free PS+ games you get.

That is one problem the Vita 2000 solves - it has a gig of internal storage (which can only be used if you don't have a memory card inserted because of course), so for the type of people who aren't into downloading games, that's perfect.

Persona Q has a DLC store that was added in a v1.1 update. Give it some time.

Also, the game is never stated to not be canon. In fact PQ has a character that has the power to erase memories. so they don't have to worry about fixing that plot hole.

You've still got those speakers just sitting there all tiny and useless, like a vestigial tail that turns Erin Fitzgerald and Laura Bailey's voices into angry crow screeching.

Honestly i just think Chie's voice got way more tolerable, after the first in game month. Even during my second play through i really disliked her voice in the first few scenes with her.

I'm rather enjoying my run of New Game+ since I imported my Lv 80 Kaguya with Megidolaon so anytime I see those Golden Hand enemies, its party time XP wise, I've just rescued Naoto and I'm in the Lv 78 range and have just under 2 Million Yen, all thanks to the Gold/XP sliders!

I never bother with the Japanese dubs in games personally since I'm much happier listening to it in my own native tongue than reading nothing but subtitles, however I don't mind if the game is Japanese only like the Yakuza games but if it had an English option, I'd go for it.

I'm really hoping 5 has good pacing throughout, but I don't know if JRPGs can do that anymore. When it comes to P4, definitely stick with it though, the beginning is a slog but once you get to the first dungeon the game stops dragging like that for the rest of it.

Yeah, my main gripe with her voice was that the actress seemed to be overacting a lot, but I'm halfway through May now and she's settled down.

I downed the Nice Guy, and allowed Chie to use Galactic Punt. She targeted Shadow Kanji, and for just a moment, I thought the battle would end there.


But it only did about 120 damage instead.

Huh, I had no idea that could even happen. Thought she only went for enemies if she was able to knock them out of the arena, i.e. they weren't a boss or mini-boss. So, are there other attacks that would normally knock enemies away that have some kind of damage value anyway just in case?
