I'm on the 4th floor of the second labyrinth. I hadn't been subjected to Teddie's shenanigans long because I'm playing the P3 route. I can't even remember what Personas I relied on starting out. I used Orpheus Telos for the health boost but I switched off of him when I realized physical skills are must have in this game for managing your SP. Zen and Rei have been pretty useful for most of my time playing (Bane Slice is awesome). I've moved away from them as soon as the P4 cast came into the picture. I've been grinding up Yu, Chie, and Yukari pretty heavy. Gonna try switching it up though. I want to take the time to make everybody equal as far as levels go.

Ah, I'm playing the P4 side since I wanted to hear Yuri Lowenthal voicing the P3hero. I can safely say that I like him a lot, actually.

You're only a little further than me. Currently level 24 with Narukami and Naoto, finishing a request for Theodore.

Yeah, Zen & Rei have been removed from the party here too, mostly because I needed space for Shinji and the P3hero, and Yukari as well -- Though I reguarly switch her out with either Kanji, Chie or Zen. And yes, Physical attacks are a must, but luckily they come in shapes of elemental attacks too which is very neat -- This is basically how you build up crits to do your most powerful attacks. I also remember the name of the Persona now. It's a free DLC. It's Kaguya from Persona 4 Golden. She's got an ability called Lunar Blessing, which shields your party from any attack for 3 turns, mix that together with healing from Fuuka and you got a winner.

Oh man. I need to buy her back now. I didn't know if that skill was useful and didn't feel like grinding for her levels starting out. Now that I have the newest fusion method leveling her up to get it will be pretty easy.

I'll be stealing loaning PQ from a friend once she's done with it. Until then I'm enjoying playing Golden on my PS TV, really glad I held out for it.

Isn't that thing like $99? What's the point of a Vita again?

It was $80 over the holiday sans a controller. To annoy me for two years apparently.

Happy new year beautiful people!

 

To think, by this time next year, we'll have experienced the magnificence that is Persona 5 and have a whole new bunch of waifus.

I wouldn't mind some husbandos as well... (C'mon Atlus, give us a female protagonist option again! There's a reason P3P is my favorite Persona!)

I'm using waifus as an all encompassing term, including husbandos of course.

Meh, I just want good characters, and a quality story on par with Persona 3 again -- That's all I want. But a female protagonist would be excellent. And of course the usual gameplay I love.

 

Happy New Years!

My excitement extends to so many things regarding the game. The soundtrack, the gameplay, the characters, the art, the personas, THE VELVET ROOM. I've been in Dragon Age mode for a good chunk of time that it feels refreshing to get over that state. I can smell the Persona and it smells good. 

 

I'm curious as to how Atlus do their reveals in regards to the mainline games though. Do they reveal the companions and the like or are they more coy? I guess we'll see.

They'll definitely not do it through international EXPO's. They'll do it through Famitsu, like with most JRPGs and like they did with Persona 4, where they talked about the premise, new setting and the inclusion of the weather cast system. This was also the case with Q & the fighting games. Catherine was the same too.

My only hope for Persona 5 right now, besides it being the signal to bury anything Persona 4 after that stupid dancing game comes out, is to not have another Teddie character. Persona Q has got me hating everything about the dude after being fond of him in P4. Just for the simple fact if Atlus spins off P5 into some lighthearted Persona Q esque adventure I'd like to avoid anymore character assassinations. Because that's what happened to Teddie, and no one else.

Has Q really ****ed over Teddie's character that badly?

 

That's a shame, man. He was one character that I thought I was gonna hate when I first came across him in P4 but then I grew to really like the little furball.

Premise and new mechanics is something I'd be interested in seeing. Hopefully they complement it with some videos. I want to avoid characters although I suppose that would be a bit difficult should they decide to show some gameplay and battle.

Actually, I'd say Akihiko & Chie are pretty irritating too in Q, Akihiko is the most -- The constant chatter about protein, and rushing headlong into danger without any reasnoable thinking are traits that are so incredibly exaggerated that it devolves into character suicide. Akihiko was kicked for a fight in Persona 3, but he was also very rational in tough situations, here he's mostly a meathead who can't seem to go 5 steps without bringing up proteins (something which wasn't really mentioned in P3 but the fighting games and now it has snuck into Q as well). It'd be like turning Adachi into cabbage loving whacko or something.

 

Teddie is just plain bad -- Both gameplay and narrative-wise. I'll always like him in Persona 4, but anything past that is... eeeegh

That'll probably depend on how popular the P5 cast is and how long it takes them to bring out P6. The P4 group probably gets squeezed as hard as they do since they're pretty easy to gravitate towards, plus they needed to put something out to build hype for a series which hasn't released a game for over 6 years.

In Hashino's words it was basically to satisfy all parties -- THe ones who wanted more time with the casts of 3 & 4 would get Q, then you have the ones who'd like a fighting game (not entirely sure who those were, but it was also an idea that was brought to mind when a few of the P-Studio conversed with ArcSys), then you got the Dancing Game for the people who love the soundtrack which of course is a lot of people. The main team would be the ones working on Persona 5, hence Shoji Meguro not being heavily involved in the makings of Q's soundtrack (but it still sounds excellent) and Hashino only being a consultant producer for Q etc.

 

In the words of the Persona-Neo-Gaffers. Another Arena game or spin-off wouldn't surprise me.

Akihiko not shutting up about protein quickly grew very annoying in the first Arena game. Can imagine people being even more tired of such things going by what I hear that both ultimax and Q pushing on these kinds of things

Holy ****, I just realised that there was only two years between the original releases of P3 and P4. That's a really quick turnover. 

 

The wait between P4 and P5 is seven years. 

 

This is like the difference of the wait from Clash of Kings to Storm of Swords and then from Storm of Swords to A Feast of Crows, lol. 

I don't really have any point to make but I thought it was a funny enough parallel.

And here we are.. years later, still waiting for the next iteration of both franchises, am I right?

I'm currently in the labyrinth, aiming for Naoto evidently -- I think I got the questions right.

From the video most of them make sense, in terms of her character. There was two or three that seemed almost random to me though.

I never got those exact questions, but some of those that were answered by others I answered the same. I did get an obvious one about "Prince turning out to be a girl" which I chose, I like to think that was enough.. One thing is for sure -- It'll be one of the girls.
