Well thanks a lot thread! I just ordered Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2, Nocturne and P3P thanks to you! I hope you're happy! _{(i am)}

So wait, what about that link says P4 Rerelease on PSVita?

That's right, Overclocked is North America only.

I mean they're not in any kind of real continuity, are they?

So, after abusing the suspend save feature for around an hour to force the RNG to bend to my will, I beat the game. But....There's no 8th day. (at least for the Atsuro route) which is a bit disappointing to say the least. I hope it's not only one ending that has it and the rest get shafted because that just screams laziness.

ChiTownEddie posted:

haha I agree, the gif is awesome.

Odd question (maybe) but how long approximately is P2P going to be? (Or how long was the original P2:IS?)

Rirse posted:

Maybe this "Mary" is actually the new female character. Or Mary from Persona 1.

Pureauthor posted:

Watch the 3DS game be Persona 5 just for maximum troll value.

Also, P4 fighting game sounds either awesome or ridiculous. I wonder just how over-the-top they're going to make the whole thing.

Fuuuuck where did you find this? I have like 3 scan websites open

Samurai Sanders posted:

The thing about Famitsu these days is that each new issue only matters for the fifteen minutes it takes to scan them and 2ch to report the contents, and always three days before it gets on the newsstand. Who even buys them anymore?

Well he's on the character select so maybe he got better.

What's going on in the bottom-right screen on this one? Looks like locked selections of some sort.

So looking at Mary/Marie's hat, I notice the gold button on her hat has a "V" on it. I really hope I'm just overthinking this and that she isn't somehow connected to the Velvet Room or some other nonsense.

Does anyone have the photoshop/april fools joke/whatever it was from like a few years back that was a mock-up of 32bit Persona fighting game?

It seems apropos to bring that up due to recent developments.

Maybe make her sound like some prim and proper English maid?

I really hope we get some visual novel style dating scenes in between fights.

Justice posted:

I know you guys are too cool to like certain aspects of the game, but those aspects are the reason they were able to remake it twice and sell nearly combined million copies. I guess it's like democracy, there always has to be some vocal minority crying out against what works for everyone else.

Heroic Yoshimitsu posted:

Am I mistaken or wasn't there already a scene in P4 in some sort of bath house or whatever?

Catalina posted:

What if I want a MC with a breast fetish and wants to date Satan? Hopefully, that'll be in the DLC, or I'll have to resort to fanart and fanfiction.

MarsDragon posted:

This entire thing is making me super-grumpy. I guess I'm just annoyed to see another game company almost perfectly follow Square's path post-FFVII.

Catalina posted:

I wish you would turn PM's on so I could message you and tell you how your avatar and title and this comment are funny, and I found this comment so hilarious I laughed out loud.

Catalina posted:

Oh, and I like both dungeon crawlers AND anime dating games, separate AND in the same game. So I wish Atlus would...oh, wait.

Literally, the defining difference between the two would be that in 3 and 4 you can power up your Persona by having meaningful, in-depth stories with interesting characters,

The fact that the game looks its age makes it less involving still. It wasn't a particularly attractive game in 1999, and the intervening years have not been kind. You view the action from an isometric perspective. The tiny characters express themselves with stiff shrugs and robotic shakes of the head. And although the high schools, record stores, aerospace museums, and other locations that serve as the "dungeons" for this RPG are a refreshing change of pace from the fantasy locales of so many games in the genre, these locations have no personality; one bland hallway is very much like another. Every once in a while, animated sequences are used to lend drama to a situation, but these are too infrequent to have much impact. The game fails to generate much tension in even the most desperate situations, such as (redacted)

Not in P3/P4

HarveyVdarski posted:

Dude, what is your issue? P3/4 are, in overall terms, better than P1 and P2. They are more enjoyable, a smoother ride, with less endless grinding and more enjoyxability. Sure they are gonna milk the Datijg sim poo poo forever, but so is Bioware, and Im betting dimes to dollars you own all of their twisted nethers.

King of Solomon posted:

Yeah, I know about that. By HD console I did mean PS3/360.

The Vita looks like it will be nice, but I want to play it on my TV.

Alteisen posted:

Gonna have to say bullshit here.

Unless you're playing on maniac, P3 requires almost no grinding, making the proper persona is more important and the skill card system makes that pretty simple.

Alteisen posted:

In P2 you level up sure but you also need cards to fuse better personas, this is something you HAVE to do or get wrecked royally by whatever is ahead, this is further exacerbated by the horrible, stupid, worthless lovely negotiation system.

ImpAtom posted:

Grinding is generally considered as stopping forward advancement in order to grind levels/gold/experience/whatever in order to gain power for an upcoming challenge. Otherwise, grinding would be exactly the same as playing the drat game.

ImpAtom posted:

What? How do you even make logic of that? Persona 2, at least in theory, has situations where people feel they can't advance the plot without battling generic enemies over and over to collect shinies. That is exactly what they mean by grinding.

gtrmp posted:

Sorry, it's not a real [Persona/MegaTen] game unless it's just like the first [Persona/MegaTen] game I ever played, so releasing anything other than a game that's exactly the same as that one is a betrayal of both the real fans and the series they supposedly love. Also, if Atlus released a remake or enhanced port of that same game, that would be a shameless cash-in that also proves that I'm correct in assuming that Atlus doesn't care about making games for their real fanbase (that fanbase being me, personally).

Hey here's a thing: I'm picking up a bunch of old DS stuff right now since I put the system down after a rush of RPGs months ago. Doing second playthrough on Strange Journey. Which would people recommend I go with, Law or Chaos this time around? I did Neutral out the gate.
