I almost made a "LPF: Persona 3" (Last-Place finish) Because, I played the hell out of it the first 3 days I had it, then school started, and I didn't play it until last week. I was like "shit, how did I forget about this game? It's amazing" and my friend who quit, too, said "shit, I don't know why I quit. It's great" Just, it's not a sit down for an hour and play game.
P4 has delayed my suicide for yet another year.

Should've seen this coming. GAF->Internet->GAF

You never dried P3?
The game looks really rad and the main character doesn't look like a queer.
I hope they add more exploration, more challenging battle system, more ways to advance social links (or whatever they are calling them in this game) and more variety throughout the game (doing the same exact thing for 90 hours does get old... just a little.).

I did try P3, but P4 being P3 again would negate it being fresh and daring.
I need to play Persona 3, I originally wrote it off but as I look into it more I see stuff I like. Non-random battles, only directly controlling one character, the school stuff affecting the RPG side, etc. Seems neat and I like the sound of Persona 4.
There is combat outside of the one single tower, right? If not, I sure hope there's something to spice it up

same here. but to tell you the truth, it grew on me.
i dont think there will be a big change in music. the scans suggest a continuation in overall style. i dont see a reason why they would differ greatly. maybe theyll make a cut on the rap, but thats about it.
the arrange disc of P3s soundtrack is brilliant.

Not all of us have the time to play through a 70 hour game 3 times, let alone once.
Multiple endings do nothing but tug at our OCD side, and make us unhappy.
(I wonder how many hyped people in this thread even knew about Persona before P3...)

There's a new Acquire RPG for the PSP too.

Doesn't look as charming as Yuusha no Kuse ni Namaiki da from the scans though. Dungeon-crawler with turn-based system :/

I can feel for those who wanted something different from P4, and I'm a bit sad that this isn't on the PS3 instead of PS2.
That said, social links return, school setting returns, and a bunch of other great new stuff no doubt being added in the process. No way in hell am I going to bitch about that. I'd really love to see Atlus go all out with the social link aspect, however. Let me continue to hang out with people after the main part of their link is finished. Let me actually decide on one of the girls to be "my girl," so that the pimping on girls aspect doesn't have to feel quite as empty as it does. (But still let players mack on all the ladies if that's what they want.)
Most of all, I'd love to see direct social links with every party member, and have those links also effect how the team interacts. So, say, if my social link with a party member is high, we work together better in battle or whatnot.

Strange, that's pretty much exactly the reason I loved it so much.epmode said:
After 120 hours of P3, and who knows what I'll put into FES (though probably not 120), it would be nice to get something a bit different, but by the time this comes out in the US I'll be ready for more.

I didn't realize what the compendium was until the last month of the game, so now I have to replay. I must have glossed over it when they explained it. Then I saw how deep it was with the system of fusing. LIke a nice puzzle game to get the one you want.
I've played Persona since the first one, but does it really matter? People can be excited about games and features even without prior knowledge of a series, no need for this kind of elitism. :/thetrin said:
Imagine how the game industry would be if the only people getting interested in Final Fantasy, etc, were the ones who played those games since the first installment.

Im more excited for Persona 4 than VP DS. I dont care too much about the graphics of Persona 4 and I think it looks fine and at least from the screens and bit of info it sounds like it will be cool.
Initial D for DS doesnt look THAT terrible.

Honestly though, I couldn't imagine this any other way, on both counts.
When P3 came out, and people ate it up, Atlus, obviously, knew that they had a hit on their hands. The world of Persona, melded with "simulife/ADV" type gameplay. What was NOT for the Japanese fanbase to like? And what was to not be expected that Atlus was going to do more to provide "more of the same" for people to buy more of?
And as for the PS2 thing...since the initial announcement was made like back in December, I would have thought that most people would have come to grips with that facet by now...
But hey, at least SMT4 is probably going to be PS3. And by then, hopefully it will usher in a new trend for the series.
Now, THIS, is definitely something that I would like to see, as well.
I mean, as long as the social links are a definitive part of the game, they might as well utilize it to its fullest. Maybe there could be specific Fusion Spells or AI patterns for if you really do a bang up job with making sure certain members of you crew were your definite road-dogs, or, like you suggest, have a designated "down-ass". :lol :lol

I've bought ever Persona game day 1. I really love this series though 1 and 2 are really feeling their age. I've always enjoyed this series because of its setting in the modern world-- not to mention its dark and morbid storyline. P2:EP was such a scary game. The Joker was such a freaky character.
thetrin said:
Well no one obliges you to get all the endings, i don't think i will do it myself, but i always love to see more content. (and you can always watch the rest of the endings in youtube if you want)
Having a lot of multiple endings didn't stop Chrono Trigger being one of the best jrpgs ever. So for me multiple endings is not a bad thing by itself.

Honestly, it would be nice to give people the option, or even go so far as to make the character selectable between male and female, changing entirely how social links react to you (unless you decide to go the gay/les route). If you want to be completely ghetto about it, you could do nothing more than tack a few extra "relationship" events on to the end of a social link once it has hit 10.
So, say, you max out your Gourmet King link, then you could decide to engage in a few extra special optional events to work your way to being his favorite food.
(I'd also love to see social links that end up involving somebody else instead of you. Man did I want to hook that one girl up with Mitsuru so bad. *heh*)

damn, that no one can post them yet -.-
Yet? No one can post them ever.
Does anyone know if it'll use such a systematic system like Tartarus? I want a more free flowing game, like Persona 2. I don't want to do the same thing everyday, with the only events occuring during the full moon. It felt so robotic and layed out, repetitve in a way. I still love the game, for sure, but enjoyed Persona 2 IS and EP much, much more.
