As a moron I tend to scratch my head as to why localization always seems to take so long but even in this case I get that the English VA's were probably reluctant to go into a small room and put a spittle covered mic into their faces

Yeah, and Makoto's is getting there. She's going to be the voice of the female PC in Cyberpunk (which one vaguely assumes will be released at some point).

I realize this is a bit off topic, but is there a place to watch the P4 anime in subbed instead of dubbed? Amazon has it dubbed, but no option to switch, and I can't stand most of the voice acting. I'm not looking for anything like a torrent here and don't mind if it's a paid / subscription site. Thanks!

While I do wanna watch this Golden one, the other was 2 seasons long and seemed to give a lot more backstory. The Golden one feels like ng+ and it’s glossing over a lot assuming you already know the story/chars. I have yet to finish P4G, so I don’t know much. Anyone know where I can find the vanilla one?

https://www.livechart.me/anime/1199 According to this the only official place is Amazon right now. Persona wasn't as hot of a property back in 2011 when that came out and I remember having to watch it on some obscure site. E: If you go the Bluray route, the first set of Blurays (Broken into part 1 and 2) were English dub only due to licensing restrictions at the time. A later Persona 4 Animation complete version was released with both dubs several years later. Dehry fucked around with this message at 18:44 on Aug 8, 2020 |

This Fusion Alarm mechanic is kind of annoying tbh. I got hit by it three times in the course of a single-day run through Futaba's dungeon and all it's doing is forcing me to trash all my good personas (because of course all the bad ones fuse to a too-high level or to a persona I already have). So now I have a useless owl-man with a giant stack of passive regen abilities and what I think is total status immunity? and absolutely no other abilities. Sounds good but I do need to actually attack during a fight, not just defend. Well, maybe I can use him to fuse something useful but it's still a giant pain. The one saving grace is it seems to open up every single ability slot for carry over, so it's easy to use a Treasure Demon and a Blank Card or two to build a sledgehammer persona with all eight elemental attacks. I'm still struggling through the Japanese version though so it's hard enough for me to understand what's going on at the best of times.

For a fusion alarm you can literally just walk in and walk out to cancel it if you don't want to do any fusion. I never really cared about fusing my best guys because you get so much money in this game resummoning from the compendium isn't even a choice anymore, you can just do it anytime you feel like it

You can cancel the alarm without utilizing it by talking to the twins.  But really, when you decide to take the time resetting as necessary and spend the resources, it breaks the game as soon as you unlock it.

I beat the original persona 5 3 times over the course of the years since release. For my second two runs I skipped much of the dialogue besides main story stuff and links I actually liked. For my first Royal run I'm going through everything and it's amazing how much longer the game is without skipping. I think my third run, where I skipped most dialogue was like 25 or 30 hours total, to beat all the game and the super boss. Some of that was NG+ bonuses but... I'm currently at 62 hours and just barely beat Haru's introductory dungeon.

It was weird to learn that Morgana's VA is also Yuumi's VA from League of Legends. Another magical cat-thing. Anime IMBD is like that, though. I can play the Kevin Bacon game and find a game or anime for any combination of 3 VAs. Especially if we get to use Matt Mercer as a link lol.

With the Persona 5 animation dub dropping, the VAs are sharing stories of what it was like recording the show and the game. I was delighted to find out Futaba's 'gremlin laugh' (which is now officially called the gremlin laugh and will be an actual direction given to her actor in subsequent P5 stuff) was improvised on the spot by Erica Lindbeck.

Since we don't have a thread for P4G chat, I shall blather here. I am a bit past recruiting Naoto, so I assume I am working my way towards the home stretch. My favorite character in the game is Nanako. She makes me smile every single time she shows up. Also the thought of Kanji and Rise being friends also makes me grin, because I can just imagine those interactions. Was pleasantly surprised to find them hanging out together at the Textile shop during the investigation to find out more about Naoto. I like some things better in P4G and some things better in P5R, which is to be expected I guess. Characters: Overall, P5R gets a pretty easy win here. Teddie is the worst. Super creepy and outright problematic. He makes Morgana seem like a picnic. Yosuke is also pretty terrible. Chie is just sorta meh. Yukiko is boring. Kanji is fun and Rise is SUPER fun. Her first meeting with Marie made me crack up since she gets right in her face and is all "who's this, senpai? and why is she with you?" all snotty. Love it. I'm only to like Rank 4 with Naoto but she seems pretty good so far. Non-party characters aren't as interesting as P5's either. Plus Lala-chan > *. Confidants: I prefer the confidants in P5R, by a good margin. Levels 5-8 I definitely got a sense of the relationship deepening, and I kind of miss that in P4G, to the point that when you get to the point of romance, it still feels like we're barely friends then all of a sudden we're intimate. It's a little jarring. Also: which confidant is assigned to which arcana seems to make more sense in P5R, but that could just be because I played it first. Like....Nanako as Justice? She doesn't seem to share any qualities with Akechi at all, so it seems weird they would both be Justice. Devil confidant in P4G is sorta pointless, and just seems to peter out at the end. Sojiro > Dojima, but only because Sojiro's crotchety old man thing gives him a lot of personality. The Fox was an interesting little series of side quests, but it seemed odd that he was an actual confidant. So P5 gets the Confidant edge, for sure. I'd probably call this one a tie if the middle levels of each one in P4G were updated to feel a little deeper. Story: I am still kind of on the fence. I like that P4G's is sort of localized, in the sense that - you're just trying to save your small town in East Jablip, not the ENTIRE WORLD. How the other party members get their Personas makes WAY more sense in P4G. Instead of "embracing your inner rebellion" it's more "face the parts of yourself you aren't willing to acknowledge" and that just feels better to me. P5R does a better chance at conveying the urgency of what you're up against, while P4G has a lot of "you have no leads so you can't do anything about the case today" stuff. For me - basically a dead heat. Game mechanics: ALL HAIL Shuffle Time! That's a much better way to recruit Personas rather than getting a knockdown and having to pick correct responses for a Persona's type, some of which are pretty vague and difficult to get right without peeking at a guide. Shuffle Time rules - and the other cards you can get as perks are all pretty great. Really wish that mechanic had moved forward to P5. The step-n-fetch quests in P4G just feel sorta like padding, rather than adding interesting gameplay. Otherwise - P4G's gameplay/combat feels like an early demo of what became P5 and eventually P5R's. That being said - Shuffle Time counts for a lot, so while I'd say P5R is better overall mechanic-wise - it's closer than you might think. So yeah - if I've recruited Naoto and she's awake and all - ballpark how far I am from the end? This is my first playthrough.

Akechi is kind of literally a broken Justice Arcana figure, that's the point. But also they've never been too great with accuracy of Arcana to confidants. Also by most accounts the change to negotiation is much better than Shuffle Time because you're actually able to target specific Persona with Negotiation, and once you know the rules the answers are a lot less esoteric.

It also gives demons a sense of agency and personality that hasn't been in persona since 2. I think it's a hugely positive change.

That and fighting Megaten demon designs is a lot more appealing than facing the more generic Shadow designs of P4 and P4. Plus it gives you a sort of preview of what a Persona is able to do, which makes it more enticing to try to catch it rather than hope that luck is on your side here. Also, it’s much easier to remember enemy strengths and weaknesses when they are Personas you know intimately instead of “table with mask” or “slightly recolored wrestler”.

As above poster said, there isn't a P4 thread, so I'll ask here; I've never played a Persona game before so I'm not sure how the dungeons work. So I can craw into the TV and fight until i exhast all my resources, but when I go in, do i start on the same level or do i have to start all over again? Also generally how long are these? My first time in I got to level 6 before I had to leave. I saw that if I fail to rescue the first girl, i don't actually lose the game, i just have to replay the last few days. Also is there a general rule for getting the cards after battles? i would grab all the Personas that dropped, though I grabbed chest keys when they showed up.

You can start at the highest floor you left off with or at the beginning. Go on until it's too unsafe or you hit the end, depends on you. General range of floors is like 6-10 depending on whose dungeon it is. Also, you're correct: If you don't beat it in time, you get a rewind of one week to do it right. As for cards, if you clear the hand, you get a sweep bonus which gives you +2 to cards you can pick up to keep them coming. How you're going about it now is just fine.

As others said, you can restart from the last floor you reached.
Lastly, the castle boss is the hardest in the game, because you can't have any of the good stuff yet. If you're struggling: fuse the persona Valkyrie, from the Strength Arcana. It is tailor made for this boss.

Finally finished Royal after stalling out in the new semester. Bogus that they ended up forcing Joker in juvie again. Passively going along and letting others be active seems directly counter to the whole rebellion theme. Still loved it on the whole, though. It was odd they had subtly different reads for the confidants' final line if it was in the conversation or a repeat.
