Yeah, I'm glad they're doing a PS4 version of 5. I didn't get P4 because it came out like 2 years into the PS3's life cycle and I couldn't give a poo poo about PS2 at that point, beyond like Yakuza 2, so I never played it until P4G came out and before TGS it was looking like I was going to wait for the inevitable P5P or something on Vita.

CottonWolf posted:Sales and marketing. It's a much easier sell generally if it's cross gen. We're at the point where lots of people won't consider buying last gen games at this point. (Not that I actually think that's true of Persona, given its fanbase, but still.) Plus, Sony probably wanted another "PS4 Exclusive". I don't blame them as right now I have little to zero incentive to buy a PS4 other than SHINY. Sure, my launch PS3 is getting a bit beat up and doesn't work all the time but the important part is that it does...if I'm patient. I thought Catherine looked fine on PS3 too.

If they just established a last name beforehand and let us pick a first name then we could get past the incredibly awkward dialogue where no one ever refers to you by a name.

Now explain why you don't get the points if you petulantly use the default names anyway. It's not like they couldn't have checked for that. It reminds me of this classic scene, in which we see Bugs Bunny getting completely into his role as a standard SMT player, with Elmer Fudd putting on a breathtaking performance as YHVH. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2reqfvP_als&t=130s

Look, they're not going to have a canon name for the P5 protagonist. There's a system in place for how this works: 1. Release the game. 2. Release a manga adaptation of the game where they give the protagonist a name. 3. Release an anime adaptation of the game that uses a completely different name for the protagonist in order to piss off the fans who've been using the manga adaptation's name as the canon name. It happened to

If I can't name the main character Kun San or Kun Sempai I'm gonna be pissed. The adventure of San-san (kun-kun to his friends) must never end.

The next SMT game should give you a random number of Chaos points from 1 to 10 every time you open a treasure chest because you're disturbing the order of the treasure chests

Just include an in-game full walkthrough leading you to the Law ending if followed to the letter, including battle guides for every encounter with orders when to cast Mudo for 100% effect. Take a step away from the guide and you're locked into Chaos or Neutral, and suddenly everything is based on RNG.

SMT I's Law Hero was a pretty chill dude who had a good reason to go full Praise YHVH. SMT II's Law faction developed space travel and I find that super funny so they get a pass. gently caress Satan though.
