Persona 1 sold well, and so did Oreshika. Something went wrong with EP.

Is it really that bad? Ive been toying with the idea of picking up P4A.
See, I don't really know what I want. I love having teenage characters because I can relate and the social simulation is a blast, but ai don't know how all that would play out with adult characters. Maybe meet halfway and do college characters instead of high school?
Or like characters from 3 and 4 teaming up, with the awesome gameplay from 4. Oh and PLEASE don't do cel shaded graphics. I have a strong feeling that this will happen. Despite the other games not having this.

It's a good game but of course people who don't like fighting games won't like it.

No it a great fighting game. Anybody telling you otherwise is wrong. Just look at the reviews, the p4a thread, the fgc picking it up. Today alone had 91 entrants at socal's super arcade. On wednesday it had 80+ and on the East Coast they had 50+ entrants at Next Level.

To those of you wishing for an older cast of characters, can you really imagine some 30 year old going around a dungeon in his work clothes with a sword or bow killing shadows and whatnot? Seems pretty ridiculous to me. The teenage or young adult cast works because we're used to seeing teens and young adults going around and fighting monsters and shit. As for what I want, HD graphics, P4/P3P gameplay, more variety in dungeons, completely new cast (maybe throw in some random cameos from characters from the other Persona games), and a great story (but that's pretty much a given because nobody wants a bad story).

It's great, and the notion that Atlus would make a core Persona title into an FTG is silly. They used it as an avenue to further the brand, and a dang good one.
(There's a strong argument that the story is bridging the gap to P5, too.)
I agree with Billiechu. I think he means that P4A is not a bad game, but that P5 should be an RPG game.
I really like P4A, but doing Persona 5 as a fighting game would be upsetting. Persona 5 Arena, cool beans. Persona 4 Arena 2 or whatever, I'm all game.
But keep the main games RPG style.
:lol what
DO YOU EVEN PERSONA, BRO

As others have said I just want it to come out, really.
The persona series is probably my favorite one, so whatever comes out I am pretty sure I will love. Thats how much I believe in that team.
Wtf?

I don't see why seeing a man or woman in business attire killing crazy monsters in a labyrinth of shadows is any more outlandish than seeing plucky teens in school uniforms do the same.
I don't think anyone is playing Persona for its stark realism.
Love the games, haven't seen the anime but their artistyle doesn't really "fit" with the games' artstyle. It throws the immersion off for me.

LIVE ACTION CUT SCENES YEAHHHH
dude. the game looks like an anime. how do anime cutscenes not work for an anime game? hell, the story is practically anime in itself!
What's with these dude shoes?make this guy an obtainable persona
You do realize that other Persona games had anime cutscenes in the past right?
The character designs in the game are fully animu dude.
I don't want to buy a $60 fighting game for the visual novel inside of it.
Bahahahahahahaha. Next Persona to take place in Jersey Shore confirmed
This would be even worse haha. Japanese acting isn't for me.
In Catherine you were a 30 year old dude running around floating dungeons in your underwear.
Fully clothed can't be any more ridiculous than that
Whatever the team at Atlus can come up with will be fine for me I'm sure. I think I'd rather them not explore the Velvet Room and its characters too much. I feel it's one of those things that is interesting because it is mysterious. If they start over-explaining the room and its motivations, it could easily become silly and uninteresting.

yeah man what the hell with these cutscenes and well-drawn anime bullshit. everything should just be IN GAME I DONT WANT TO WATCH A MOVIE I WANT TO PLAY A GAME SDFSFKKJSDJBAHLKJDFLKJSOIGUSIOGJSLKFJKLDSFJ
I know, I didn't like them. (the cutscenes)
See I'm fine with the pop-up characters over the text box being anime, but anime cutscenes. Just didn't like.
I don't know. I haven't bought it because I don't like fighting games that aren't Smash Bros.

I'd like an older set of characters (18-21 must be middle aged in Japan). Although I think an office lady/man would be a more welcome party member than a robot.
And some more absolute balls to the walls weirdness/occult shit like in earlier Persona games. P3 and P4 seemed a bit mellower in that respect.
The option for a female MC.
Deeper social link system, where your responses lead to different endings.

How do you know you don't like something without trying it?
Why do you even play persona then? lol
I don't understand. You are mad about the main aspect of the game? x_x
But how do they "not fit"? Granted I found that the animated cutscenes in P3 for example were not very good at all so I don't really care but they certainly "fit".

Stop bugging him about the P4A, some genres aren't meant for some people.
Though it is an amazing game and it's a shame Mr.Wizard is such a fanboy.

Sorry to say, but there is no chance in hell you will get your wish. Persona is a series heavily tied to anime. You're essentially saying "man, I wish this anime wasn't so anime".
Because I'm not a fan of the genre outside of a few specific games that purposely differ from the norm. Everything I've seen of P4A does not put it in that category.

Hitoshura is too boss to be a persona.
I seriously think that P4 is pretty much an anime with a game mechanics tied to it. Great for the girlfriend to join and watch along.
Okay guys, she's given her reason. A perfectly valid one. She ain't attacking the game. Moooooove on.

At this point, all I want from Persona 5 is for it to get out already sheeeesssh.

ugh, so the story is canon? See, Im not a fan of fighting games, but Im willing to try it. I mean, I was doubtful of Dissidia, but I ended up really liking that game...mostly because its still Final Fantasy.
Yep, pretty much a sequel to both P3 and P4.

So then how are the M-rated games in Japan? Anyone know?

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
If you can find it at a cheaper price point, and are a major fan of P3 and P4, I'd still recommend picking it up for the story stuff even if you don't like the game engine or intend to touch the other modes. The story fights are ridiculously easy - you can literally mash the one-button autocombo and beat all the storyline matches that way. The character interaction moments and dialogue can't be missed if you're a big P3/P4 fan. Especially when you start hearing classic P3/P4 tracks come up.

Because the games are really well made with fantastic story, great characters, good design and an AMAZING battle system. Granted I've only played P3 and P4, but I just got P2: innocent Sin for my PSP and I'll be playing that soon.
I'm just not a huge fan if anime in general. It never really stuck with me. One day it may (I hated RPGs in the pat but theyre my favorite kinds of games now) but for now, me no likey.
The artstyle didn't match most of the assets in game so it just felt out of place to me. But I'm the same type of person that hates Pre-rendered cutscenes (I've seen too many badly compressed cutscenes).

The way Atlus is going, a fighting game with ffx 12 like mechanics, no anime cutscenes and grade school characters for P5 is probably a fair bet.
At least it seems some on GAF would be happy.
