Holy shit, yes. Awful characterizations aside, PQ was goddamn brilliant.

I really need a sequel starring P5, P1 and P2 characters... Goddamn, please.

With p5 characters?

I'm not shocked, Atlus will take any chance to milk their franchise and not do any work

Yeah because making video games isn't a business at all.

but yeah I don't like this, the first one wasn't canon because it didn't happen.

Could you imagine flanderizations like those in PQ being the only exposure 99% of players have to P2 characters? I no longer dream of them touching P2 ever again.

Yeah, to be honest I'm pretty content with them ignoring P2 when it comes to stuff like this.

aadiboy · Jul 28, 2017

Why do people think P1 or P2 are even going to be in this game? There's like 0% chance of that happening.

I didn't have a a big opinion one way or another when I played the game. It was a game that I enjoyed to an extent, but that's about it.

I love the battle themes though.

Forward · Jul 28, 2017

One of my fondest memories about the game, was zoning in on, and correctly deducing who would constitute the all-around best party, from nearly the get-go.

Naoto and P3 MC in the back, Front loaded with Kanji, P4 MC, and Aegis.

Linkin' Parked Tank, and Dark/Light instagib sweepers.

Isn't there P5 concert next week?

Prob going to be announced there

ChasingComets · Jul 28, 2017

That's the assumption, yes.

I won't expect anything since nothing has been explicitly said about sound bomb, so anything at all would be a pleasant surprise.

PQ2 is almost definitely happening at some point though, and I hope they ditch the Persona EO concept and go with something different.

Would buy on Switch because I've never played EO and I love Persona.
If 3DS, fuck off

Very different games. I don't like Persona and only got PQ because of EO.

The "Q" in the title is literally a pun on the Japanese title for EO so I doubt it'll be ditched.

well they stuck P3MC in there and not in Arena so its not like logic would stop anyone from appearing during Q if they wanted to

Well, the logic is time travel, so yeah, they can have any characters they want in the Q games.

they can even have younger and older versions of the same character if they feel like it

watch them totally do that with Yu

Oh yeah Akihiko's thing was training, training and more training. And I actually liked him.

My point is really that these characters aren't exactly deep and are walking cliches, so what is a spinoff in a weird timeline interval going to do with them besides exaggerate what they essentially are when there's no meaningful plot to involve them in.

I don't think that's accurate. Sure, characters like Fuuka, Akihiko, Mitsuru and Naoto are fairly basic, but characters like Junpei, Ken, Yosuke (when he isn't being a complete joke) and especially Yukari are pretty nuanced as characters. Persona runs the gamut from shallow to deep, and I'm not sure why you're singling out 3-5 when P1-2 have similar types of characters (though P2:EP has ridiculously high highs).

I never knew that, but on hindsight that makes a lot of sense as opposed to some randomly chosen letter.

What's in a name though? I'm gonna cross my fingers on this one, because I want to see them try something different with the spinoffs than just reiterating on the P4 ones.

I remember that P4 Arena was where Akihiko started to develop a deep sexual interest in protein.

They just replaced his obsession with training and shinji with something else.
I love Aki, but he's not even close of being one of the deepest characters in the series.

These characters can have only a few defining traits and still come off as more or less believable human beings like in P3 though. There Akihiko is mostly a normal if a bit socially awkward person, but it's all explained with his (justifiable) obsession with becoming stronger/prove his strength.

Meanwhile in the spinoffs he's just a dumbass who won't shut up about protein even though he only says that word like thrice in the entirety of the source material. That's straight up terrible characterization.

I'm not disputing he's even worse on the spinoffs, i'm just claiming he's not as developed in the main game. P3P did a lot to develop him and Shinji better as characters on FeMC route, but i'm considering only base P3 here. In which he is the tough anime guy who wants to train and get stronger and that pretty much defines every interaction with him since he's not a social link because ewww why would male P3MC even bond with his male SeeS friends, that's gross.

Meanwhile he had no problem stablishing links with fucking Kenji and that moon dude

If enough people believe it can happen.

Rumors!

ChasingComets · Jul 28, 2017

The PQ2 website is now returning a 403 Forbidden page, meaning Atlus has directly blocked public access to the site. With all this recent activity, I guess something could really be up!

Edit: add the Persona-Dance website to that list as well.

Perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.
