I presume he fears that it will be released about the same time as P4A.
I mean the gif specifically, I think it means something.

Aigis leaves no alternative interpretation for what touchingis either. One scene where subtlety went straight out the window and into a fire.her "Papillon Heart"

It's just a cat looking dejected while looking at snow in a window.
>_>

I couldn't really remember this part, so I googled the words in spoilers. Google seems to have some idea what it means.
Meanwhile in Europe...
Not to mentionYukari's "If I accidently scream, everybody will hear me..." remark.
Destructoid giving this a 10/10 is not at all a surprise. This guy is the biggest Persona fanboy out there. Nothing wrong with being a fan, and I'm sure it's a good port - but yeah, he does this for every Persona game.
Anyone know where I can read these comics? I think the photobucket account that was hosting them went derpy.
YouTube! Not sure if anything is missing. I think they covered all the comics actually out there.
Kat Bailey said:It's always around the month of May that I take a look at the lengthy list of daily decisions in Persona 4 and start to sweat a bit.
"Should I be going to the sports club so much? Shouldn't I be building my relationship with Yukiko?"
"Crap, I forgot to buy a book to read."
"Exams are coming up and I still haven't hit the first Knowledge threshold. I'm screwed."
More than most RPGs, Persona 4 is about the long game. It's set over the course of a full Japanese school year from April to December and there are important decisions to be made almost every day. Most of the time, you end up hanging out with various non-player characters, some of whom won't become friendly until you get to know a specific character. It's big, complicated, and stressful.
But when I started in Persona 4 Golden, I vowed that I wouldn't let all of the decisions get me down. I would just play through the story organically as possible, taking extra care to pay attention to the local gossip. If I missed a social link or three along the way, then so be it.
As it turns out, though, I needn't have worried. In porting Persona 4 to the Vita, Atlus has opted to take a page from Dark Souls and the results thus far have been very interesting. By connecting to the internet, it's now possible to "ask the audience" and get a glimpse of the possibilities on a given day. Click on the "Voice" button and a myriad of thought bubbles will fill the screen, revealing actions other players have taken at that point in the game (see the image below).
The particulars are a bit different from Dark Souls no one can send a misleading message encouraging you to kill the shopkeeper but the idea is the same. Essentially, Persona 4 Golden is trying to tacitly bind everyone more closely together and into something of a community. It's meant to encourage those who need help to check with their peers in the game instead of a web forum. And I use the new mechanic ... a lot.
It's not that I necessarily want my peers to hold my hand. As I said, I really want to delve into Persona 4 Golden's mysteries without feeling beholden to some optimal day-by-day strategy guide. It's more that I want to have an idea of what's out there, then make an informed decision.
Not too long ago, I decided to check in on what everyone did for a particular night in late April, and saw that a lot of them had spent time with "Marie." Who in the world was Marie? Having not followed the Persona 4 Golden news too much , I didn't realize that she was one of the new characters. My curiosity was piqued by this new name, so I decided to go looking for her in town. After some searching, I discovered her in the Velvet Room, and voila! New social link.
At other junctures, the mechanic has been a useful barometer for when to go dungeon diving, or visit the local Chinese restaurant and build up their attributes. Later on, I'm sure it'll be helpful in determining whether I should have this social link or that social link. Mostly, it's there to offer a few helpful hints and make me feel more confident about my own plan of action.
The most important benefit of this new feature and others like it is that it adds a degree of transparency to Persona 4 without sacrificing the attendant sense of exploration. It offers no hints about what the "right" decision" is; rather, it's there in part to help newcomers who are feeling overwhelmed by the large number of decisions that need to be made over the course of the story. For those people, just having a few options on the table ought to be a relief.
Beyond that, Persona 4 isn't getting any easier. Death is frequent, it's still hard to make friends with everyone, and the process of creating new Personas is as complicated as ever. There are signs, however, that Atlus is lightening up a bit. Among other things, it is now possible to restart from the beginning of a dungeon floor in the case of untimely death. In that sense, Persona 4 Golden differs somewhat from Dark Souls (it's not outright cruel in how it handles death). But then, death in Dark Souls is often the direct result of your own actions.
Regardless, Persona 4 Golden continues the series' recent trend of putting more control in the hands of its players, which I count as a good thing. It doesn't quite yield all of its secrets, and I really wouldn't want it to, but I can say that May isn't nearly as stressful as it used to be.
The way you get the new Persona upgrades is kind of anti-climactic. Just do another Social Link event for party members you've reached S. Link level 10 with in the new postgame stuff.
She need your halp!
Aforementioned scene with voice acting. Thar be minor spoilers.
Wow, that's kind of meh.
what about DDS huh wiseguy?
Oh btw guys, P2 Duo > P4 > P1 = P3, all = good to great games. the world keeps on spinnin'
if only she was in P4A.I'd make her scream
You've seen the dub version, Right?
Some of this new fanservice is just too much. I judge anyone who enjoysthe new anime scene of Marie and the girls in a hot spring.
I don't understand that scene. I thought thatit was actually the guys' turn to use the spring and they saw the girls by accident. Did they change it or did the girls decide to take another bath?

Comparing things to Dark Souls is getting so fucking passé.
Resist the urge, game writers.
They added to it. Two new anime scenes. Second one is pervy as all heck.

Sothey just go back and peep at them? I liked the idea of the girls being at fault.

Nah.
First one is just the girls. They all run out in towels and are talking about how great the bath house is or something. They coax Naoto out and she's embarassed. They all stare at her gigantic boobs (Which weren't gigantic pre-Golden) and she is startled, which obviously, makes her boobs bounce. Because that's what boobs do.
Second one is at the end of the game. You go to a different bath house, and the girls are all naked, bathing together, with conveniently placed soap bubbled covering up their various areas. Side-boob and ass abound! The guys are peeking over the top at them, and the bath wall collapses. They all look awkward, and (I may be remembering this wrong), Yukiko sees Yosuke's dick and flips out. Marie barges in and electrocutes everyone. It's really fucking dumb.
Lol. That does sound pretty ridiculous.
I'm the guy they do this for.
I love every second of it.
Sorry.
I've had the regular edition preordered for a couple months... But I couldn't find a place still accepting preorders on the Solid Gold Edition. Is there ANYWHERE besides insane independent retailers where I might get the Premium Edition?
I'm at 36 hours on October 6th. Pretty good pace considering my first run through P4 was 80+ four years ago.Is thisnew?epilogue where everyone looks different
Also, does this game ever fucking end?
I hate it when they do that.Comparing things to Dark Souls is getting so fucking passé.
Resist the urge, game writers.
Here's some screenshots of the new shameless fanservice scene discussed above. Links because kind of NSFW and also spoilery I guess.
