Anne is so much better and what has been used by Atlus Jp all the time.

"All the time". Atlus Japan constantly used different spellings. Only her Kanji stayed the same.

 

[Zolo]

I liked Anne better.

Yeah. I think so too. Kinda surprising since Anne was what had been used most recently.

 

[artsi]

It's fixed now, pls stop triggering me atlusprime

"Most of the time" then. It's clear they wanted it to be "Anne".

Ann confirmed.

man, i liked anne better. i mean it's not really that big a deal, but still

 

[CrimsonFist]

Atlus Japan have been pretty consistent about using Anne for a while now.

 

[Ludger Kresnik]

I liked Anne more, too. But shrugs

 

[UltraGunner]

I like Anzu better

 

[DNAbro]

Will need to get used to dropping of the e.
Ann Ann Ann Ann Ann Ann

 

[CrimsonFist]

For pointless trivia: those name tags are completely original, even missing "e"'s aside. The lettering and box sixes are different to the Atlus Japan tags.


Anyway, Atlus USA should delay the game another 6 months to add back that "e".

I like the sound of that PERHAPS.

English trailer to coincide with the JP launch? Maybe a bit optimistic, but feel like we might get something sooner rather than later.

Gimme the dub voices

That alone will keep me going for like a month

I've decided to distract myself with Danganronpa.

I'm instantly satisfied if Cristina Vee is involved.

I don't trust Hardin.

In game her profile says あん which suits "Ann" more than "Anne", so I can see why they did it, but I still think the latter looks better

I figured something like that had to be the reason since most people have liked "Anne" better along with it being how it's spelled in Japan (and was even changed to that).

Who starts an RPG series at 3?

 

[Deleted member 518609]

Persona

Ask Persona fans

 

[Zolo]

Ask Persona fans

Probably SMT ones as well. Nocturne = 3.

 

[Setsu00]

In an attempt to make sense of Falcom's output I found out that they made a game called Zwei 2 (= "Two Two"). I shouldn't be surprised that something like this exists and yet here I am...

 

[Jintor]

+1

To me FeMC is the best Persona MC and is unlikely I could change my opinion in the future.

She's not a princess, or a cutie girlfriend.

 

[PK Gaming]

All i'm saying is that if you're going to devote 70+ hours into an RPG, start with the best

Besides, Trails of Cold Steel was objectively designed to be played by newcomers

but despite absolutely loving cold steel, TiTS is better

Is Trails worth picking up?

 

[A Dead Diehard]

I liked Anne better.

Same.

At least they've got five months to hear this. :/

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

wait...do you guys pronounce Ann and Anne differently? because I dont. Do you just like having the e there for the look?

 

[OrionX]

Is Trails worth picking up?

Yes. I've only played FC and SC so far, but they're amazing. Some don't have the patience for their slower pace, but imo the characters and story are top notch. Estelle is probably my favorite female mc of all time.

I don't really same them differently, but Anne seems like it has a more distinct ending to it, so I instinctively enunciate the end a little more. The e just makes it look much nicer to me.

 

[Setsu00]

Depends on the language, but in English I'd say they sound the same.

 

[A Dead Diehard]

It's like the distinction between "Miller" and "Millar". There isn't one, but there's this annoying voice in the back of your head telling you something's wrong.

Also not having an "e" on the end makes it sound like the sound should die in your throat.

Though I guess it not being pronounced would make this an easy fix.
... hypothetically speaking...

I just saw some fanart and I was reminded that Ryuuji or scarfboy or whatever the fuck his name was existed in P3. I completely forgot.

What a vestigial plot element. His character could easily have been combined into something else and made to actually matter in some way, dude always came off as totally extraneous to me

Yeah. They tend to do more with him in the manga and anime. I don't mind the idea of his character, but there's not much to him.

Ryoji.
And that's the thing, he was already combined with something else.

Namely, Pharos, in a sense.

Pharos and Thanatos.

Can't get more important than that. I do wish he had been around longer since he's such a cutie, but so is

Pharos.

Conflicted.

 

[Jintor]

yeah but what i mean is none of that stuff is shocking cos you don't care about ryoji because dude's just there

 

[OrionX]

lol his sudden appearance is kind of jarring, I'll give you that.

 

[TheGeniusArcana]

Honestly, I didn't even realize Ryoji had a social link on my first time around, which says a lot for how minimal his presence was in the game.

 

[Strimei]

Ann's a bit odd but it is a variant of Anne that's been around for centuries, so it works well enough.

That's actually FeMC only, so he didn't even have one in the original game 8D
