Inorigo just let me know that a guest we've been trying to get for a while is game to come on this Saturday. So Yosuke 'cast will have to be delayed, sorry for proposing that so quickly.
No probs, no probs.

Eh, I have changed it a couple different times, though it's most likely just gonna stay as Red Savarin Avatar's if I ever do change it.
Like the cute adorable one I have now I'm going to keep for awhile, way too cute to not have as an avatar.
Dark-gaf is too grimdark and mature even for Persona GAF.

This is exactly what I always thought when playing.
Keeping the same avatar is boring.

This looks pretty good! Part of a series?
Holy shit thats amazing, saved!

Who do you guys prefer, Yosuke or Junpei?

Yosuke, 'cos Junpei is not da man.
Honestly, I don't really like either of them but I'm more fond of Persona 4 overall.

Junpei gave me more reasons to laugh with him rather than at him, plus I played Persona 3 first so I'm biased. >_>
Junpei because I played P3 first and like his design. That said, I never disliked Yosuke much during P4.

While I do prefer P4 over P3, and have no issue with Yosuke, I think i prefer Junpei overall. He's hilarious and extremely entertaining.

He's unbearably envious for a good chunk of the game, yeah, but as soon as Chidori is introduced shit gets good.

Junpei. Dude was a joker. P3 desperately needed someone like him.

Junpei. I think I've explained my reasons for this about 10 000 times before because I love talking about how good and realistic a character he is, but the gist of it is that every facet of his character has a deep purpose to its existance, and if you examine his character close enough, his story is actually complex enough to be considered the "B-Plot" to Persona 3.
He's also Da Man, so major props for that.
I actually don't disagree with this. A lot of people don't bring it up because... yeah, but it is kind of a weird issue.
The writing staff clearly makes Kanji not gay, but then takes the fact that he's unsure for a while and plays with it for jokes in other scenes. It's a bit strange, especially since Kanji's social link where he accepts the fact that he doesn't have to adhere to certain standards of manliness to be a man is actually really well written and heartfelt. All of the allusions to homosexuality are actually only really brought up for jokes. It's weird and one of the game's larger flaws. It also had the side effect of making people think Kanji was actually gay and that his social link is dealing with being gay, but really I don't think that's the case at all. It hides the fact that the game actually takes a bit of a negative stance towards homosexuality.
The dungeon's ridiculousness can be somewhat explained through the fact that it was reflecting society's views of gay men, rather than how gay men really act. The shadow dungeons are always exaggerated by society's misconceptions.

I think there were a decent number of changes in the script close to the game's end, and there's a lot of evidence towards that. A lot of it stems from the fact that
Naoto actually was supposed to be a boy. This explains how her grappling with being a woman is kind out of place and forced in when most of her surrounding themes are more about being considered a child. I think this caused ripples in the other character's plotlines, especially Kanji's.
Nah, it was some X-menify yourself or something. Images were floating all around my twitter and I threw that pic in there for the luls.

I had fun with Junpei at the begining.
Seem im the only one that hates his arc with Chidori though. I think I would have value more his arc if at that moment all didn't go to the shitters with the majority of characters because of the story. Maybe as a separated social link that I could do at my own pace could have been better for me.
Still I feel Yosuke is more like a real person, I like him more, even if he says some stupid things during the game.
And I played P3 first.

Ehhhh. I got the impression that change was made fairly early on.
Junpei.
His character development from "What is Tatarus? A toothpaste?" to end-game and The Answer was fantastic. I loved how he went from the joker to one of the more level-headed characters in the game.
Yosuke got nothing on him.

Junpei because I played FES first and I like his character development.
Keep in mind, Persona 4 had a REALLY short development cycle for a video game. It came out about a year and a half after Persona 3 FES. Changes made pretty on were probably still significant.
The changes made to Naoto was due to Atlus opting for Teddie to be
.
Heck, according to the design works they even wanted to use Elizabeth as the Velvet room assistant at first.
Most interesting bit was about Rise being planned as the "bully/delinquent" before that role was given to Kanji. Wonder if Smed will still like Rise if she had turned out that way.

I have to imagine they were working on 4 and FES at the same time, though - The Answer could surely have been made with a skeleton crew, the vast majority of it is recycled P3 assets.
I don't think it's unreasonable to assume P4 had a roughly two year dev cycle, which is pretty common in the industry. And considering how much of the engine was already in place in P3, I'd bet the bulk of the development effort was on crafting and implementing the story.

I was just going to post something I wrote about why I think Junpei is such a good character, but this does it in even less time! ;D
P4 was, to quote Soejima, "officially set in motion" right after P3 FES's release. The Official Design Works makes it clear that the bulk of the work took roughly a year, with several months leading up to it for the design phase. There's also a note about how everyone on the team basically was doing P3 and P4 work simultaneously.

Yosuke, by maybe that's because I appreciated someone on the IT who wasn't as dumb as bricks, besides Naoto.
Haha, that's a very vague timeline indeed. "Officially" didn't begin until after P3FES, but they were also working on them simultaneously. So I might be wrong that FES was a skeleton crew, but it doesn't really contradict my point that they were already doing early work on P4 while FES was still being finished.
Well. The P3 work wasn't all FES. A lot of it was drama CDs and stuff. Soejima did many of the illustrations for the drama CDs that came out after P3 FES. It's safe to assume the team transitioned largely to P4 after FES's release, given the comments.

OMG time to go preorder the PQ OST. I bet Konishi will be working on the battle tracks, and that's why what we've heard sound better than the Arena stuff. He's better at action tracks than Kitajoh is.
Would have loved to be on this, but still no decent microphone. :/

Huh. So a Yukino expy like Chie was a Lisa expy? Interesting.
Odd, she didn't look like it in the artbook P4 came with; I wonder also if Ai appeared from this cast off material.

Aw, I didn't know P4 almost had gay social links. I definitely would have done that, Yosuke's adorable, and I have a slight yaoi fangirl living in me. Best couple IMO.
Anyways, so I know nothing about Aniplex. What are the chances of the P3 movies getting dubbed? If they are, I will wait. I eventually wanna get the movies, I just wanna know if I'm eventually gonna have to get the expensive subbed version or not?
