P 4 Golden has gardening?
Day one
Day one
I almost didn't notice you.
That's true. I'm honestly hoping EO4 is kinda different while retaining the series' strengths. After EO1 I was honestly so burnt out on the series that I never played EO2 or EO3. :/
I hope so too, I think he'd do it properly.

A new game for 3DS. A port for Vita...
P4G is not just a 'port'. get it straight, son.

P4G isn't new, it's been given a release date.
3DS got it's share of ports too, N64 ones at that. Problem?

And?
EO3 has a lot of little touches here and there that refresh the formula a bit. EO 2 felt like an expansion pack in many ways.
I had the same experiences. Can't wait to get this new one.

ULTROS!
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.
P4G will have a gardening component. You can build, plant, and raise your own garden: http://andriasang.com/con01u/persona4_garden/

The gameplay kept getting better.
Sadly, atmosphere wise, EO1 was the series at its prime.

Well, to celebrate I've gone and done what I considered doing a few months back; created 3D MPO's of EO3.
It's just the opening area at 2 different depths, but does anyone know a good site for MPO uploading?
EDIT: Went for 3DPorch.

Same shot, different 3D depths.

Huge scans are out for EO4. It looks like.... EO. I'm pretty disappointed. The graphics are better than DS, but it retains a lot of the low-quality 3D look that the DS is known for. I definitely feel that Yamamoto's art is totally wasted here, since the backgrounds just look like any other EO game, there's a bit more detail but that's more of a result of it being on the 3DS than anything else.
3D enemies!
Not really sure if that's going to be a good thing or not.
Edit: Looks like the game is going to use the d-pad for controls. There's an icon that looks like the slide pad on the bottom map screen to scroll around the map.
Dictionary? I wonder if you'll be able to look up a monster's stats in battle.
So this game's gimmick is an airship/hot air balloon. I wonder how that will work out. I never played III. How did the ship sections of that game turn out?
I'll be honest, I'm one of the strange EO players who didn't much care for them beyond the initial look. I'm more into EO for the mechanics anyway.
The point is that they specifically hired a renowned art director to do really detailed illustrations of the environments. It's a total waste when the actual game doesn't benefit at all from it, and just looks like a normal EO game because of how the environments are implemented anyway.

Personally, I like them. The graphics from the airship look like the DS, but the labyrinth screens look nice. The monsters all seem to be 3D too, although they look so good I thought they were 2D at first.
I like how you can see your character portraits while choosing attacks too.

Oh no, I agree with you that it's a waste. I just can't bring myself to care much beyond that, y'know?

Eh, it's not BAD bad. Hopefully it'll look good in motion. There was often subtle movements in the Labyrinth's walls in previous ones.
My thing is AIGIS FEET. AIGIS FEET on everbudy.

They have time to work on EO4...
Like duckroll, I really adored EO1, bought 2/3 but have no interest in ever playing them and if EO4 is more of the same I'll pass again. Great games, but they all feel the same and they're so long and repetitive. I'm playing Beyond the Labyrinth right now and while it does a lot to make itself different from EO, after a while I just felt like I was playing EO again and even lost interest in that. I like 1st person dungeon crawlers, but prefer having a little more story to give a reason to keep doing floor after floor of the same thing. Variety in enemies and locales helps too. And interesting gameplay systems that keep changing throughout the entire game. Aka old school SMT or SJ.
Hahaha...
Probably not.
I hate story-lite titles generally speaking but EO somehow hooked me. Even with the relatively poor system it does have. I guess there's just something about it that made me want to sit down and figure the games out and that in itself has fueled my interest in the games for way longer than otherwise expected.
I really do hope that they finally try to weave more of a story into it.
With less than 4 months of development left, it's obvious the only things left for them to work on is QA. The game will look exactly as it does now.

I only own EO2, but I never got past the 2nd stratum. Once I beat Ghost Trick, I may make it my next handheld priority.
The scans look alright. Not graphically mindblowing, but traversing the dungeons in 3D sounds cool enough to me.

I love EO and am excited for this -- day one purchase of EO4 and a 3DS -- but I'm a little worried about how much I'll like IV... I did 100% completion in the first game, finished the main story and did some sixth stratum stuff in II, and got too annoyed at III to finish it (hit the fight against
, concluded that I simply couldn't win with my party setup, and didn't want to have to get a different group up to speed). I like a lot about III, especially being able to take a break and explore the sea (though the sea quests were annoying), but it just didn't quite click with me the way that I/II did in terms of classes and abilities; it seemed like you had a choice between established, broken class/subclass combos or being horribly underpowered.

The backgrounds don't look bad at all. Not from what I can tell, at least. The scans are noisy as fuck so we need to wait for direct feed screenshots to pass true judgement, I think.
It's simply about they went ahead and hired an artist known by his background art just to have a "not bad" backgrounds in game. Still can't wait for direct feed screens, and the 3D would be nice here I think.
