There's also a Persona game coming for the 3DS, apparently. It was in Nintendo Power.

I'm about to finish Persona 4 and I have a question-which game should I play next? Would Digital Devil Saga be the next PS2 game in order of difficulty? I really want to play Nocturne, but I think I need to build myself up to it. What did most of you do? (I've finished Persona 3 as well.)

I always kinda assumed Teddy was Bi, considering the way he acts toward the main character, and his kissing scene with Kanji.

Edit: Ugh, sorry

The Persona games all take place in the same universe. P3 and P4 are shown to be in the same continuity, and P3 is linked to P1 as one of the major groups in P3 (Kirijo Group) is a split off of a business group/one of the main character's families from P1 (Nanjo Group).


Small detail, but if... is also part of the continuity, at least Persona 1+2.

Apparently it takes place two years after Persona 4, so it should be neat to see how the kids grew up.

They're giving a year? Is this game going to be canon? :psyduck:

Well, the "in" thing for PS2/3 to Vita ports these days is to have "additional chapters" or bonus Vita exclusive story content to set it apart from its original version. They've already said and shown "new event content" so that sort of lends itself to that.

I'm willing to bet that Atlus will probably have some kind of "The Answer" for Persona 4 Golden.

I really hope not. How much more of the story could they cover? Oh yeah, so Marie was behind Izanami was behind Ameno-Sagiri was behind Adachi! More amazing plot twists!

This whole paragraph is bad. I agree that IS is pretty ugly, but like all of these problems are still present in P3 and P4.

You view the action from an isometric perspective. The tiny characters express themselves with stiff shrugs and robotic shakes of the head. The game fails to generate much tension in even the most desperate situations.

Not in P3/P4 :colbert:

Also, I suppose Matador wasn't as bad as I had heard. On my second try, after using all of my Beads and Bead Chains, I managed to defeat him with just my main character left.

In the last Kalpa of the Amala Labyrinth theres a door that only opens if you send the demon you've had since the beginning (The Pixie obviously) and if you send them in, they turn back into a pixie (if they were fused into something else) but at a really high level with really good skills.

Would you say it is worth it?

Really? It sounds almost impossibly bad to me. I do kinda like how they went with a black/white colorscheme for the mock artwork, though.

Some are good, some are awful.

In my opinion-

Good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmBrbzgaivw

(Persona 4 Arena Ending Spoilers)

With the possible return of Nyarlathotep, and the cliffhanger ending of Persona 4 Arena, Persona 5 might end up being the game that ties all the Persona's together. Holy crap. :allears:

That sounds like you are equating success with quality though, which is highly questionable.

El Belmondo posted:

she's probably the worst character writing that Atlus has had in the entire series, from generic anime Tsundere style interaction with your protagonist, to stupid interjection straight into the heart of your cast acting like your friend, to being a necessary social link to get the new content in Golden, and a character reveal that feels like a DeviantArt character sheet.

Oh, and don't forget her marvelous poetry.

Well, at least we can be safe in assuming she's not coming back. She's not in Arena, and that's the canon sequel, so...

Hey all, I'm about to start Digital Devil Saga and I remember hearing that one of the characters was extremely important to train for Digital Devil Saga 2. I'd like to know who as I'm planning to play both; also is there anything else I should prepare for? I've already beaten Nocturne so I'm sure I'll be better prepared for the Press Turn system this time.

It's weird that (PQ spoilers) it only mentions Minato and the upperclassmen for P3, and a similarly limited group for 4. Unlock the others, I suppose?

I find it weirder that the game seems to be chronologically confused. It apparently takes place during Persona 3, but features the Persona 4 characters who already had their adventure. I'm guessing time travel shenanigans, judging by all of the clock imagery in the previews.

I got into anime again recently and there's actually good shows still being made, I just assumed everything was poo poo by now

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Yeah it's an adaptation of a manga that started in the 80s but that doesn't make it any less good. They're currently on Part 3 of the manga, which introduces the concepts of Stands which are LITERALLY the same thing as Persona. From what I hear a huge chunk of the feel and story of Persona 4 is straight from Jojo's Part 4 too. Imagine Persona 4 where every single character is Kanji

Space Dandy: People were dissapointed because they were expecting the next Cowboy Bebop since it's the same creator, except this time what he did is give a different guest director and writer control over every episode which leads to some out there stuff like a speed racer inspired episode that ends with Dandy getting lost in time and finding out he has become a god, or an episode that has like 3 minutes of no dialogue that is basically an LSD trip, or an episode where a zombie outbreak happens but the zombies win in like 10 minutes and the rest of the episode is just exploring the ramifications of a universe where everyone is a zombie

Ping Pong: They play ping pong and there are emotions

Makes you wonder if Persona 5 is about joining the yakuza :tinfoil:

We're not seeing any news for another hour, are we?
