The game should fit on a 4GB card without anymore compression than the PS2 version. How bad was the compression? Worse than Devil Survivor: Overclocked?I hope all that extra voicing doesn't force them to overly compress the audio like with P3P. Couldn't stand that.
I can't directly compare the two because I haven't played Overclocked, but voices definitely took a slight hit from FES to P3P. Everyone sounded distractingly sibilant to me. Kinda sucked since the music and sound effects seemed good enough. It wasn't anywhere near as bad as voice samples on a Nintendo DS or anything (like TWEWY). Most people probably didn't even notice, to be honest.
Living up to their name at least.
As long as it's more like Tales of the Abyss (... or what I heard of P3P) I can deal, if it's like Blazblue on Vita then fuck that.I hope all that extra voicing doesn't force them to overly compress the audio like with P3P. Couldn't stand that.
I should be doing hw

I think that is more to do with the nature of UMD size at the time. I mean, if you look at P3P, sound compression is really the least of it's problems in terms of cutting back from the PS2 version. Half the gameplay was basically turned into menu's for starters.
So far with P4G we've seen the exact opposite of any kind of cutbacks across the board, there's less cause to worry as of now until more concrete info rolls out.

Its the Atlus fan newsletter. I think if you're getting this email you already know the basic premise of Persona 4.
I wasn't aware the Charlie Tunoku thing was overdone, but I stand by what I've said. It's just a playful post.

You can wait till Nintendo drops price of Wii U after people don't buy it due to lack of games in first year

That's why I've been waiting on the Vita.
I fucking love the endurance run but the Charlie Tunoku meme is way overdone and is just annoying now.
The Giant Bomb community has a tendency to run everything into the ground.

Another announcement, another reason to buy a Vita as soon as the Ceramic White gets released!
I'm a little worried about the voices though... I tend to get attached to character voices either good or bad, a change always sounds weird to me.
I hope the extra content makes it worth.

About time, Amazon...
I wonder about that date though, nestled right between Bioshock Infinite and Assassin's Creed 3? Yeesh.

Its funny how they could have gotten in a lot of trouble for it but it worked out instead.
plus Charlie Tunoku for life

I may end up getting this, even though I probably won't have a Vita for a few years. :x
i'm trying to figure out if i'm gonna do the same. i'm waiting to see what the pre-order bonus will be.
at the latest, i'll own a vita when pso2 hits, so it shouldn't be as bad as a wait as you.
Trophy list for the Japanese version is out:

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Collecting all Personas and Maxing out all the Social Links?
Good luck with that Platinum.
I would never naturally get the one that requires you to change your persona 5 times in one battle.
That's not at all difficult, honestly.

That's pretty easy with new game+.
Depending on if they want Max Social Links in one run, this is completely do-able. It'll take two-three or more playthroughs for the fusions and compendium and following a chart there but simply go through and finish the S. Links you missed on the others. Better yet the ones you didn't max can actually speed up the process on the game since you can focus on those and ignore everything else in the process with your compendium.
Most of those achievements don't seem pretty hard. Defeat
, Defeat the Reaper, Acquire all Personas, Max out the Social Links. Nothing seems really hard among the Gold/Silver ones.
Pretty much all of them are doable with some effort on New Game +
(People who haven't played Persona 4 may wish to not look at that achievement list; There are spoilers for the whole game.)
Nothing in there about one run as far as I can tell.

Then completely do-able. Make a checklist of the S. Links you did. Do the others on another playthrough. Missed any? One more playthrough (depending on when they unlock and all that) and you're done.
Compendium is only hard due to the fusions and having to know what exactly to fuse. Otherwise it's cake to keep a checklist.
Not as frustrating as "Treasure Hunter" in FF13's list. Because this isn't too much a grind.
So 2 playthroughs required for platinum, then.
The achievement list does reveal some interesting things. I'm spoiler tagging these as they may or may not be spoilers. They don't appear to be endgame spoilers, but they do potentially reveal some new stuff for The Golden.
There's an achievement for rescuing the new character Marie. Possibly a new dungeon? There's also an achievement for drinking coffee at the Chagall Cafe from Persona 3.

That isn't that difficult. Maxing all Social Links wasn't difficult in the original.
Collecting all Personas might give you difficulty if you constantly reset the Persona combination for, like, an hour. :lol But if you just want the Persona, you're not going to care, are you?
Gonna need two playthroughs at least. Some of these are seriously making me rethink my schedule that I wrote up for the original game, though, since it seems they added quite a bit of stuff. Edit: Or you can keep multiple saves to do some of these, and for the ones like... 'make lunch 5 times' or 'go to the movies 3 times'... if they're going to mess up your schedule, you can just do them, get the trophies, and then reload your save.

The fishing one sounds like it'd be the most annoying. lol
I really wish there was a way to transfer your PS2 save to this game and save some time.

There should have been a trophy for romancing every love interest in one playthrough.
I've completed persona 3 & 4 twice, Nocturne once, almost finished Strange Journey, and i'm 20 hours in P3P and i've never had a fusion accident.
what a terrible idea for a trophy =\
why are fusion accidents even a thing in these games
at least there isn't a trophy for completing Margaret's quests, most of those were terrible
i actually used a guide to max all social links in one playthrough in persona 4... and i kinda felt guilty afterwards. i think when i replay persona 4 i'll play through blind, and i'll definitely be doing that for persona 5.
ps: pray to the gods that the white vita comes over here so i can finally buy one.
Ah, good point. That will make getting one of the spoiler trophies
Visiting Nanako 3 times in the hospital
Won't really help for the lunch one though. You can only do that every week or two since Nanako has to go shopping for it. But, you're doing two playthroughs already, so it's easy enough to do it on whichever one you're not maxing the social links for (and really, it probably wouldn't stop you from doing that anyway unless they really increased the amount of stuff to do).

Please tell me that they fixed the horrible fishing minigame.
I forgot about that, but those are the fusion requests which are fine
it's the fetch quests that are terrible
Has anything been said about letting players pick what skills to pass during fusions?

The only difficult trophies there will be the "bronze fusion accident" one - I only saw one of those in 120 hours on P4 - and catching the largest fish which is down to dumb luck.

Looks like i'll need half a year for Platinum in this at my pace of 60-90 minutes of handheld gaming each day.
Yeah, but the controller vibrations helped you! I hope there's another way for them to simulate these on the Vita!

Are they going to add the skill cards from P3 Portable?
Those things were pretty sweet since I couldn't be bothered with the inheritance system.
Hate to see the idea get nixed.

i'm not happy about those kind of trophies
It's been a while so i don't remember if P4 has a damage limit ( i think not ) but all chalenges/trophies that required to do a required amount of damage need to cease to exist ... seriously ...
Fyxed.

Doing that damage is actually really easy with a certain persona and you will need to have the ability to do so to get the other trophies...so yeah, no real drama.

No difficulty trophies it seems. Didn't they make a new easy mode for Vita as well?
