I will support this game! Got the special edition of the JPN version preordered, and whenever Atlus USA decides to localize it, I'll get that one too. I think the JPN version of P3 had better voices, but the US version had some pretty good ones. Junpei was fucking SPOT ON! And Yukari was also done fairly well.

Live Persona concert with all of the song vocalists from P3, P4, and Trinity Soul.
I think some of his tracks are reused, but hopefully only at that one part in the game where it would make sense.

This makes me sad. Not that I'm worried about the quality of the soundtrack, but still.
Also, screw Mass Destruction haters.
Famtisu reviewed P4 in this weeks issue, giving it scores of
8 8 8 9
for 33/40, the exact same scores that Persona 3 received. So, I'm assuming that means (in so far as reviews can have meaning) that it is slightly better, but bogged down by a bit of a samey feeling.
Somebody tried summarizing the review on... GameFAQS, so I don't know if it is right.
"Battle:more comfortable than P3
Difficulty: a bit high(need reveling)
Dungeon: monotony
volume: pretty much
kuma is the best "
DIFFICULTY!!! Hurray.
The dungeon bit I could have predicted; so far they look long and boring.
No idea what the volume comment means.

Hopefully Atlus will use the Anime Expo this weekend to announce their P4 translation.

Nice to see Famitsu found it well received just as 3.
Any who some new scans floating around and what not.

Um...can someone tell why in the name of all that is good, why the tough kid is dressed in drag?
Supposedly the reviews mention that an increased S. Link with party members improves their performance in battle. How, exactly, is not specified in the review.
The main problem appears to be the dungeons, which, while different from each other, may actually be more tedious than P3's.

eh?! They made them bigger or something?Yaweee said:

Instead of being a tightly packed series of square rooms, they have a lot of long hallways. From the looks of the screenshots, it looks like it will be more difficult to avoid shadows.
In P3, I frequently went entire blocks without fighting a regular shadow, especially in The Answer.

I'm happy they liked Kuma; I was afraid he would an annoying prat that I'd spend the entire game wishing he were still-born.

At this point it's certainly beyond 85% complete. Other details include:
- AI control in battle is optional
- Potentially romantic S.Links don't have to become romantic but the people involved can just remain good friends.
- Some of the Arcana such as I think it was Strength or Chariot (where different sports clubs are more than just cosmetic) have more than one person associated with that link
- Some reused music (Lotus Juice not returning)
- Yellow
It occurs to me that we only know two of the characters' arcana for sure. Chie is Chariot and Yousuke is Magician.Joule said:Gah. I should of known.

Time to roll out?
I would assume that Kanji is Emperor, based on his Persona, but I don't think there's been confirmation. Yukiko, Rise, Kuma, and Naoto we don't know at all. Based on his personality, I would have said Naoto is Justice, but your cousin is the Justice S.Link.
Very curious.

Like I said, I have no doubt that P4 will have a great soundtrack. But this makes another version of Mass Destruction (which I would have liked) much less likely.

Now all Atlus needs it to announce that Persona 4 localization has been on works since long ago and ready for release on august or september.
zoku88 said:I hate yellow
I was going to say "But isn't your avatar yellow?" That is, at least until I saw the icon Joule presented.
Now that I have seen True Yellow, I will never confuse other colors for it ever again.

US Release: October 20th, 2008, if it gets announced this weekend.
The 14 week rule is yet to be broken by Atlus USA or JP, at least within the last year or so.
I'd like them to branch out some and go all over the Arcana like the first games, but I wouldn't be surprised if they keep all of the playable/party characters within the first 12 Arcana again, honestly.Joule said:
If I had to guess, it'd look like this:
Rise - High Priestess, Kanji - Emperor, Kuma - Strength and no S.Link, Yukiko - Empress, Naoto - No clue. Maybe Fortune or Hierophant

this seems to be the best plan of action with most third-party developers
Volcynika said:
Neither Atlus USA nor Atlus JP announces a game more than 14 weeks before its release. Granted, the rule probably won't hold for P4, as they are forced into an announce date by Anime Expo rather than their own email/magazine cycle that they normally count on.
For Saturday's event, it says "Yuri Lowenthal and Karen Strassman, longtime SMT voice actors..."
Longtime SMT voice actors? Only DDS and Persona 3 have had voices, and Yuri's main role in both is that of the mostly-mute main character, his other roles being uncredited. Strassman has only been in Persona 3. They aren't really "Long term voice actors" unless there is another project that they are a part of.
