I mostly mean how the people and world look. It seems very grounded.
Erm, no. The lobbies are per region, so unfortunately we can't really all just group up in one arcade as we can't reserve one or anything unless there are empty ones at the time. And there will be more lag than usual, esp if we play with people from all different regions. We'd be better off making player match rooms.There better be a PGAF lobby when ultimax releases.. Social links and all ^_^
Probably.
I swear I've said it like, three times now, but Trinity Soul is really boring guys. If this wasn't a group watch I wouldn't finish it. Because it's full of weird inconsistent transitions and the story is told in such a slap-dash, haphazard, disjointed way that it's extremely difficult to follow. Numerous episodes spend an inordinate amount of time on people just sitting and talking.
Episodes where Shadow-pulling becomes a gigglefest for us are few and far between. Most of our enjoyment is instead derived from laughing at how awful the show is. Like last night Star pointed out that it was suddenly midsummer even though the entire show has been set during the winter so far and there were no other signs indicating a timeskip.
It is by no means a good anime. If you watch it alone it probably isn't even a fun anime to watch.
Please do not take My, PK, or Buddha's masochistic enjoyment of this terrible anime as a reason to watch it.
I actually think the entire show is incredibly dull, visually. The Personas being transparent and almost entirely motionless while the camera wobbles around maddeningly during Persona fights in the show is just one part of it. Although it's clear that the animation is better than Golden Animation's, that's not saying much, and it's still less visually striking because the show hasn't got anything beyond this sort of constant, hammering glare of blue, black, and white going for it in terms of colors.
At the very least I would never compliment Trinity Soul on it looking good. Not when every single vehicle is a PS2 Ghost Car.

Indeed. When I first got my 3DS obviously it wasn't like this, when you entered a M rated game I just faked my age. That's the reason I was able to download Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies in the first place! But when I got my Wii U and Miiverse, I didn't really had to fake my age since I could enter those games at 12:00 so I thought it would be the same for 3DS too, but then when I linked it with my 3DS then there's this fuckin stupid rule. Uggh, if only I knew.
Yeah, but that gif that PK used is from P4A, not P4GA, so the joke kinda falls.
Also, I have watched some P4 playthroughs and then there's most of the times a guy with the username "LX" with a Hiimdaisy!Yu pic, is that you?
If they fleshed it out more, maybe.
The show just doesn't focus on it enough to give it any real gravity, because the show itself absolutely refuses to focus on anything for more than 5 minutes. Shadow pulling will happen, someone will yell "SHADOW PULLING IS BAD!" and that will be the end of it for several episodes.

Fair enough.
Yep, that's my youtube account and the pic I've been using lately on it, lol. I have a tendency to make comments on Persona videos in paticular. If I said anything stupid in particular, then I blame my tendency to be impulsive on youtube comments.

Put sunglasses on her, then sure.
So once you set up NNID, you can't do the thing where you say your age when you enter the eShop anymore?
Daaaaaaamn. That sucks, man. You can't just order it online?

Lie on all that stuff, man. When I was 11-12 (once I started to really have internet access) I always dialed the year I was born back by ten years.
I see. Sounds like what Sophia said about the show having a lot of lot lines. That's too bad.
If love to see someone take just that idea and flesh it out for a whole series.
Yeah, the show has way, way too much going on and it does an awful job of connecting it. They've told us the story of Whale Feathers like, twice, but I don't have any idea where the whale feather even came from in that story. The submarine found at the beginning of the series, the multiple homicides, and the vague mention of Apathy Syndrome all feel extremely unrelated.
The villains showed up half-way through the series and I don't even really get what they have to do with everything that happened before hand.
It's pretty telling, really, that we're half-way through this show and none of us really knows what is going on.

Nope, not anymore.
I don't think there's any store around here in Mexico where I can order PQ. I remember me and my dad searched crazy for Fire Emblem Awakening in my birthday (that I think it was the game's launch date too? haha) but we couldn't find it, so we had to buy it in the eShop (he doesn't really like that because he fears that I will lose my 3DS and the game with it or that one day I will want to sell it) I haven't found the game in any stores so far.. Anyways, I'm really wary about the whole region-lock thing from the 3DS, I don't want to order the game from USA or other place and then find out I can't play it in my 3DS. It was similar with Arena too, I was telling my dad "Could you ask the guy where's the guy from?..." but luckily I could play it in my PS3 after all. I doubt I can find a guy selling it online from Mexico on launch day, though.
lol Looked better than I thought it would
We can totally just steal some obscure room and use it for PersonaGAF awesomeness. >_>

Playing P4G again and I just found out about the Reaper. You can ind him after every 22nd chest, right?

If you guys can maybe give Maya the Spooky Hacker Ghost sunglasses, I'll love you forever!
I'm gonna have a spare NTSC copy of PQ sometime up to a month after release, so if you can't get a hold of the game by then I'd gladly get that to you if there was any way I could. I live in the UK though, so shipping times etc.

So I'm stuck at a hotel in the boonies, so I have a lot of time to think. And I was wondering, what features do you think would be cool to be in P5?
Doesn't have to be realistic if you don't want, but the more possible they are, the better.
For example, optional party members a la Ff7. Missable characters with their own plot and backstory that contribute if you attain them but it's not necessary.
New fighting type, shadow tamer. Party member that has no persona but is able to tame and use one shadow to attack with.
Story element. Party member heel turn, and you can either fight them and eliminate them or convince them to turn good again. Either way, the story continues and your choice matters.
What stuff like this can you come up with?

I vote for a Texas room. No bias.
This actually sounds kinda shitty.
Can multiple games be going on in normal lobbies now too? Or is that restricted to this mode?
Is Play-Asia an option to be sure you'll have the game? And about the Region Lock: 5 regions: The Americas, Europe, Japan, Korea and China. No more, no less, meaning that any game carrying an ESRB logo will be compatible with your device.
Most likely I'll try my luck around the release date in finding PQ physical. Pretty sure some stores will have the game (I have seen at least one GamePlanet still stocked with STMIV, the normal edition, plus the random Gamers with copies of Devil Survivor Overclocked).
*sigh* Speaking of preorders, what I'm pretty sure stores here won't take preorders of is Project Diva F 2nd. I was supposedly going to ask today, and indeed went to the mall... but since I went there for a different matter I forgot to go into the store and ask if they were taking preorders of that game xD
Yeah, they can (almost definitely).
It's not that the lobbies are RESTRICTED to each region, per say, but it's not optimal. If you're going to play a specific person, there's no reason to go to the arcade to do it. It's more for just looking for a match.
Now, if the lag isn't /too/ strong, then I guess arcade lobbies would be okay for big gatherings

Definitely the most epic scene of the entire stage play.

Does this mean that I can't do the training mode waiting the system to match up with another player for matches? Sorry if this is a silly question.
In the cool arcade lobby? It wasn't in BBCP, so unless it's a new feature, then no.
In player rooms or ranked matches, probably. In BBCP, which they're pulling a lot of these new online features from, they even made it possible to be in (almost) any offline mode while waiting for a Ranked Match, in addition to an Online Training/Sparring mode.

Learnt the lesson haha. Screw the truth, Persona 4 didn't teach me anything!
That would be pretty awesome, thanks, but I dunno if I could get it to work in my 3DS.
Hmm? What's Play-Asia? Ah, I see about region-locking, so I can play an US game just fine? A Gameplanet that is in a different city does have a lot of games, but I don't think I've seen SMT IV or any other niche game aside from FE:A and Etrian Odyssey (I think I found Arena in another store, but it was after I ordered the game lol). Are you from Mexico too?
Doesn't Amazon ship to Mexico?
Remember, if it's ESRB, it'll work. So it'll be fine.

Do they deliver beef bowls anywhere, anytime?
It's summer so idk. Had a few heavy showers. Lotta really short lightning storms actually... L like, clouds all day and then ten minutes of ridiculously heavy rain.
No mist yet. Inaba having mist during summer is really ridiculous how that I think about it. Unless it was like a smog haze

Golden playthrough:
I love the whole Teddie going to school and Hanako stalking him little arc lol It makes the "I like the Prince of Junes" thing more sense.
Also, (P4 spoilers)

Namatame watching out for the people he "rescued" at the Junes concert and later mentioning it when he confronts the IT, that's a really nice addition. I love those kinds of details.
I should investigate more about ordering online. And gotcha.

Is he available
I need workers for my stage show. "Moe on Ice"
Minato pls.
Play-Asia is an online store that specializes in imports, however they sell North American software too. As for the other point, I have found a pretty decent selection... sometimes. They are massively hit or miss :lol. And yeah, I'm from Mexico xD.
Sometimes. Depends on what you buy.

Do they come with the fried egg on top too? Because that's the most important part.
