Famitsu thread of Persona 4 raditude
- Thread starter duckroll
- Start date
there are quite a good number of enemy on monad that have a weakness to thunder,bring a thunder persona,akihiko and ken and even the hardest dungeon of the game becomes a matter of spamming the same spell over and overbirdchili said:
that's why i think the system is broken
anyway we already had this discussion on P3 thread and it's pretty clear no one of us is going to change his point of view so let's close the discussion here

I wouldn't say their too old really. It's just that in terms of Persona 3 you may find them to be more difficult. They still have that nice creepy modern day vibe to them though.

Persona 3 was my first Shin Megami Tensei game.
After the awesome experience that was Persona 3, I will follow the franchise where ever it goes.

Rock on. I also just saw the scans and the setting looks fantastic, much better than I thought it would. Hopefully this won't take an entire year to get here but that might be a blessing with all the awesome games being released.duckroll said:

Graphically identical to Persona 3 but I guess it's to be expected.
I like how we finally get FES in April and then Japan gets P4 only 3 months later. Persona 4 US release in September 2009.

1.5x the size of P3 means more like 180 hours in my case (though I did waste a good amount of time on P3, so maybe it's more like 150 or 160duckroll said:
).I wonder if that size estimate includes the multiple endings? Meaning, maybe each playthrough is only half as long as P3, but there are three endings so that adds up to 1.5x the length? I would be great with that. I don't know that I'm looking forward to another 100+ hour game (though P3 was my GotY choice).

art book and cd? please
no fes for me. i'm not going to replay the admittedly fine p3 just to get a bunch of new stuff. if they would have made this available early on i would have waited for it. now i'll find other stuff to play.Vorador said:Dreaming is cheap :lol ...
More like early 2009 in NA
Get P3 FES and support the NA release. You would be contributing to getting P4 in NA at the long run
assuming we're heading back into some randomly generated dungeon(s) for p4 - i hope they spend some time making the layouts and wandering enemy behavior more interesting and diverse.
i'm sure the ps2 will be still hooked up and ready whenever this comes out. it's not like there's an extensive list of upcoming jrpgs that look interesting.

considering the success of persona 3 in the west, atlus usa might be translating this as of now. maybe we get to play persona 4 one year from now on, wich would be pretty fine with me.
you should play persona 2 whenever you get a chance. i replayed this 6 month ago and had a blast. flawless game with a mature cast + wonderful artwork = win.

New weather system sounds pretty damn cool. Can't wait. Koei please.
sld - definetely check at least nocturne,it's the best of the bunch
and regarding P2... it can be unnerving (slightly high random encounter rate,you need stuff from enemies to make new persona and the process to get it it's a little tedious and feel somewhat random at first,it's also full of secret that doesn't make any sense and some of them are missable) but it's also a pretty good game with nice music and different than your usual normal fantasy rpg

I like it. I like it a lot.
*Hugs PS2*
I suppose the only thing I'm worried about is the fact that it seems it's coming out so friggin' fast after P3/FES's JP release. But as long as the team can deliver on quality, I'll have no problem going "back to school" this July. It's looking to be an enjoyable semester. :lol

No one really cares. This is all about P4.

I don't think they'll decide that at all. Persona 3 was really successful in the US, and I imagine the entire reason they decided to bring over Fes in the first place is because they figured with P4 coming afterward, the fanbase would be intact.

Looks like I'll have to invest in a new PS2.

I'm fine with it for persona games. I like his designs as much as Kanekos when properly applied (see p3).
Whoa.. The main character's Persona in P4 is badass on P2:EP levels, and it's not even a Kaneko design. Yeah, it's an insignificant bummer that class-rooms take the front light again, but if the other poster is correct in saying that this is truly a college setting, then the Persona series would be treading some new, interesting ground (EP might have covered adults, but a majority of them were 25+ years old).
Plus, I'm a sucker for mystery/detective-esque material, so I might end up liking P4 much more than P3 if they play their cards right.

I'm pretty disappointed Atlus has become EA and is just farming out quick and non-risky sequel for profit.
Would it have killed them to use the P3 engine and make a Persona game that was DIFFERENT than 3? Instead of just P3 with a new skin. There's already been two P3 games, three is really pushing it. :\
SMT4 better be crazy as hell and make up for this.

Come on Atlus, we need a simultaneous Jp and NA release for P4.
At 1.5x the size of P3 this is really going to be a killer.

maybe. there are enough things that could be tweaked from p3 to make p4 a considerably better game: better/more interesting dungeon levels, loot that actually matters, and shadows that move in different ways would be a nice start.Bebpo said:
if they're re-using all of their ps2 art assets *again* i might pass. i've been through quite a few games with those beasts by now.

As P3 is my favorite RPG that has come out in close to a decade, I really can't say that I'm too concerned if the gameplay of 4 is similar. As long as it's still fuck awesome, I'll still weeping happy tears and kissing Atlus' golden boots.
