I would like to see a game like Persona use older characters and step away from the high school setting.

I'd be down with mid twenties people, would be pretty interesting. I wish they'd at least be 19-20 year old college students though.

Play Persona 2 Eternal Punishment.

 

[JoJo94]

But didn't they show desks?

It was chairs, and it probably is a school since they looked like school chairs I just kind of want to see a adult mc and the themes could be slightly more...mature might be the closest word...

So, P2:Eternal Punishment with social links(i assume)?

 

[Aaron-Lagann]

Yeah a College/University setting would be great. i really dug Catherine because it dealt with adult issues and I hope they can do that again with P5

From what I remember the reason most anime shenanigans take place in highschool is because it's like, highschool is the last chance to fuck around in Japan and everyone is super serious in college.

I think that's what someone sent into the Bombcast a few years ago, and that's a shame but it makes some sense.

 

[croten]

Are we sure the is the Best friend OT and not the Persona OT?

Yeah that makes sense. Japan does have a completely different culture after all.

 

[GlassEmpires]

First Persona game to feature an old man with his Persona acting as his dentures wins.

Pretty sure P2: Eternal Punishment has older characters

Edit: PG beat me too it. What he said.

I actually don't think this one should be in highschool I mean especially with the tag line. "You are a slave. Want emancipation?"

High school settings are way too popular in Japan to switch away from it now. I don't see that happening.

 

[Archgan]

I was wondering why this thread was moving so fast and when I finally catch up, I find you guys are talking about Persona again. I really need to play it. I miss out on 30% of this thread.

That tagline lost.

And I'm an expert on that culture, so you should just take my word for it.

 

[PfantzyPantz]

I also definitely need to get into the SMT series, as my least favorite parts of P3 are the social links (though I like the little girl and mmo one.)

 

[zedreamcast]

Trust me when I say everyone in Japan loves anime and people who like it are so not frowned upon in Japan.

It's pretty true. Japan is super strict after high school.

But that would totally make sense with the "You are a slave. Want Emancipation?" line. Maybe it has to deal with adults/college kids stuck in the real world and the personas and stuff are their way to fun and freedom again. I don't know, its all just pointless speculation right now.

 

[zedreamcast]

I just found out that Eternal Punishment got a remake and I never knew about it.

Hopes for College age Chie increasing

Doesn't matter. It was never localized.

That would be super great and I think that storyline has the potential to be even better than any other Persona game.

I was in the same boat, never gave the series much thought, then I played P4G and I became a fiend for the series.

Even P4G is a godlike port, I prefer the setting of P2: EP and the characters of P3 a bit more.

 

[zedreamcast]

I know and that makes me sad. though I never finished Innocent sin...I got to the last dungeon and just stopped playing.

Yeah, its a real shame. At least you can still get EP on PSN.

I want you to be solving murder mysteries and Chie is a recurring cop.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

I just want Aigis or Elizabeth to come back

Elizabeth has an unfinished storyline too, they made it seem like she still has a role to play at the end her P4A story.

I can see the Fan art in my head.
I like it.

 

[Phantasmal Repose]

I really don't want any previous persona characters to reappear in Persona 5. Especially the P4 cast. I think they've had enough time in the spotlight.

No but Chie needs to be the bridge. Chie though.

 

[JoJo94]

So from now on whenever we talk about Persona a lot...or P5 news comes out I will post this.

yes I can draw in other styles, and yes I can clean up my work I just draw in this style cause it's quick and simple...and I usually keep my pencil lines cause I like the look of them mroe than digital lines just for any one wondering.

EDit: Chie needs to be everywhere...even Woolie the liar agrees.

 

[TeddyShardik]

This thread is showing me how much time my new job takes out of my free time. Why do we have to like money so much?

So which wooliehole did we last get into?

 

[Phantasmal Repose]

No. I'd be okay with seeing Nanako all grown up but that's it. No more.

How can you say no to this face?

It'd actually make sense for her to come back. Even if nobody comes back I hope it's all still in the same universe.

 

[skLaFarebear]

No. I don't even want it remotely in the same area. I don't even want a short vacation to that town to see older side characters.

How about the cast of Catherine?

 

[Mr.Towel]

Yeah, I'd rather there be no cameos, I'd be worried it would just feel forced and fanservicey. In P4 I wasn't a huge fan of

I don't see how it would makes sense for her to come back unless they're making P5 focus on

bringing Makoto back. That would be really dumb and shitty though.

I meant just seeing her for a split second. Not actually interacting with her. The game is going to have call backs whether we like it or not. Each game besides the first has had it.

No I mean she just takes over for Margaret again, nothing else.

They're probably going to have a new attendant or just not have the Velvet room at all considering Igor's jap VA died.

Edit: God, I wish they would release some fucking info on P5.

I'm in the bargaining phase of grief

I don't even believe that it's going to release in winter anymore, how have they not released any info except for that vague ass teaser.

Well she's still gonna be in Ultimax so her story might get resolved there, I mean Marie is gonna be in there as DLC.

Well maybe they're trying to keep it as hush hush as possible for anticipation sakes.

Well at the least they're not gonna do anything till Ultimax comes out over there for consoles right? They have to let the current hype cycle of P3/4 fizzle out.

Rosalina is the best Mario waifu

Rosalina> Daisy> That other one that gets kidnapped.

Rosie and Peach are awesome Smash characters though.

woo dark souls! I still have not played any of the souls games...should I start with demons or dark 1?

 

[Aaron-Lagann]

Any place is a good one to start, but I think Dark 1 is a good middleground between the other two and will be a good place to start so you can easily go forward or backwards.

 

[joe2187]

If you have a PS3, Demons Definitely, then just go in order. DS, DS1, DS2.

Never deprive yourself the chance to play Demons Souls if you have the opportunity.

 

[Phantasmal Repose]

Start with Demon's and work your way up. It's the best way to do it.

Theodore replaces Igor obv.

Assuming Igor is being replaced it'll probably be Margaret who replaces him.

 

[RecursiveFault]

Ooh. This is a loaded question... I'd really say you can't go wrong with either, but lemme pitch a scenario to you: Do you want a world with few loading screens that lets you go anywhere in it, or a game with arguably better atmosphere?

I personally prefer Dark 1, but it's pretty much up to you, so long as you play 'em both eventually. For me all the loading screens when you leave/enter level is Demon's got on my nerves really badly after playing Dark 1.

 

[Archgan]

woo dark souls! I still have not played any of the souls games...should I start with demons or dark 1?

I tried playing demons but I couldn't really get into it. Dark was the one that pulled me into the game series because I found the new mechanics (estus flask and bonfire) made the game more enjoyable and didn't turn the game into me stockpiling healing items I'll never use. I also liked the one connected world of dark better than the individual worlds in demons.

 

[zedreamcast]

Is there anything close to a monk or fist fighter class in dark souls? I've always been a sucker for punching shit in the face.
