Hello!

Welcome to the Persona Community Thread. This thread has been created as a place to discuss all things around and about the Persona series, both within its mainline games as well as various spinoffs and re-releases.

Previous OTs:

Persona Community Thread: The Butterfly Effect

Persona Community Thread |OT2| Burn My Thread




PLEASE READ

It is becoming increasingly apparent that in the very near future, Persona 5 will be shown. For this OT, we have two special rules to make sure that nobody gets Persona 5 ruined for them.

1. Spoiler tag everything that isn't obvious. Talking about things like characters, the general setting, the general gameplay etc. is fine, but everything else should be tagged.

2. No embedding Persona 5 images beyond things like the main character designs. No dungeon shots, no event shots, nothing like that.


The reason is that this is a thread for people who are passionate about Persona, and different people consider different things to be spoilers. Some people will want to go into the game entirely fresh, and we shouldn't hinder that. Being NeoGAF, all new media will have its own dedicated thread anyway, so if you desperately want to talk about something without tagging it, those threads would be the place.

Outside of those two Persona 5 specific rules, the same rules as other Community Threads applies. Be civil with people, mark your spoilers, and where possible, try to stay on topic.



IRC Channel

The IRC Channel is a place to chat with this community, but without being restricted to discussing Persona. It is almost always occupied and a great place to just hang out.

Steam Group

We also have a Steam group, which gets less use now due to the IRC. However, it's still a good place for one-on-one conversations and a good tool for the community.

Twitter

Most of us have, use and interact with each other on Twitter. I'm not going to list everyone's user names, but I'm sure that if you wanted to follow someone, they'd be happy to give out their Twitter handle.





S Link FM is a Persona themed podcast hosted by a handful of guys from the Persona community. Aside from covering many Persona related topics, they have also interviewed many of the actors from the Persona games, such as Karen Strassman and Erin Fitzgerald.




The Brink of Memories is the Tumblr that I run where I put all of my Persona fanart that I draw. I update it fairly regularly because drawing is just something I enjoy doing. There's a good amount of my art on there, and it's maybe worth checking out if you're interested in that kind of thing.




Scrafty & PK's Excellent Adventure is a let's play of Persona 3 hosted by Community members PK Gaming and Scrafty Devil. It's great fun to watch, and it's enjoyable to be able to see people from the community play something that we're all passionate about.

Aside from these three projects, we have lots of smaller things going on. Various people stream games (Often SMT related). ShmeebAlina and Jintor contribute occasional art. Newcomer TheTrueSelf recently created some great Persona 3 wallpapers. A lot of stuff happens, and there are some great people here doing it.

So that's us. Hopefully you'll like it here enough to stay.

Yeah, it would be nice to keep the topic discussion closer to that. Sometimes ya'll get too off-topic.

We have IRC and Twitter for off-topic discussions, after all.

This is true. Persona 5 can't come soon enough. And Ultimax Ultra Suplex Hold is apparently going to launch this much in arcades, so we'll have stuff to discuss about that too.

I have a feeling that next Sunday will heavily influence that.

I didn't think the last thread was too bad though.

Not everybody is able to IRC!

And I don't think we have everyone on Twitter yet.:(

Besides, with no news, not much to talk about! Waiting on the next update on an obscure website!

The last 20 pages of it were more or less completely on topic.

They were also posted inside a week. The future bodes well.

Great job, Dantis. I definitely like the focus on the community in the OP. Also, yeah this thread is surprisingly more on topic than some other community threads. Not concerned, particularly with P5 coming up. (I hope)

Mhmm. I think we're okay.

Also, I'm going to stroke my ego and post the full version of my Aigis art from the banner:

In the end I actually quite like it.

Next persona will be set in prisons. The boxes represent the feeling of being boxed in a prison cell. The city represents all the cities you are being transferred to. Each prison will have it's own dungeon attached to it. You create social links with other prisoners and even the warden! There will still be studying like past persona game, you are enrolled in free education within the prison. Clubs will now be replaced with prison activities, such as working, bribing police to smuggle items in, knitting, and license plate manufacturing.

I don't think it will be red.

Red is P2's theme colour and FeMC's theme colour.

It's going to be beige. You summon your Persona by lugging around giant desktop computers.
