Persona is niche, even in Japan it's not a giant franchise
The amount they'd have had to pay sega to make up for selling to a much smaller userbase probably wouldn't have been worth it.
Yeah, I know.
This explains why the Sony is developing their own JRPG franchise for the PS4. Many Japanese developers are doing mobile or are still sticking with the PS3 for a little bit.
-
To me the most interesting thing to note is that it doesn't seem like there'll be a 360 version.
I was certain that they would go multiplatform with Arena and Catherine coming to both.I wonder if that's the result of a moneyhat or if the sales numbers on the 360 didn't make it worth it?

Even if they do make a 360 version, it's only going to be for the west. Pretty sure the games you mentioned weren't released on 360 in japan. Probably because that would be pointless

Pretty sure Catherine had a japanese 360 version, cause I remember reading about it regarding cover differences between east and west and seeing the versions compared of both consoles.
I don't know how it is with arena, still I'm aware of what you say but that wasn't why I was surprised.
I remember the catherine's xbox version actually selling about half of what the ps3 version sold which I thought wasn't insignificant.
I'm not sure how it was for arena. -
Regardless, really excited for both Q and 5 when we get them in NA, which will probably be a year and a year and a half respectively
-
So I'm gonna wager that chains are going to be the motif this time round?
-
Well, getting closer to that supposed ten-year life cycle for the PS3, but don't think it'll quite make it. At least in terms of big-name games.
-
Don't know why Sony couldn't ask for a PS4 release, in order to have a system seller for Japan or something.
Thinking about it this might be a good showcase for Gaikai.
It's a game that most likely won't push the ps3 to it's limits(In my head it makes more sense that a less hardware demanding game would be easier to stream over but then I'm no engineer :P), Atlus is in the business of re-releasing their games in new forms.
If Gaikai is service based entirely on Sony's side it would save them the trouble of porting it over.
Then there is the thing about some Insiders saying P5 would be cross gen a while back.!
Let's all stare at this and dream…
Would be hilarious if they summon their Persona's with that leg chain. -
I hope they don't region lock Persona 5 like they did with Arena, I'd love to be able to just import the American version when it's released instead of having to wait 10 agonising months trying to avoid spoilers.
-
I should go away more often if there's an announcement of an Etrian Odyssey-inspired Persona game when I get back.
-
Thinking a looooooooooooot about it I would by Dancing All Night if the game features a dancing Mara.
-
they are giving away Half Age figures from P4 if you guys wanna enter :) http://www.tomopop.com/contest-time-win-these-persona-4-half-age-characters-34249.phtml
-
So apparently Rise is a playable fighter in The P4 Arena
Hooray…it's about time?

http://www.siliconera.com/2014/04/27/important-persona-announcement-coming-may-2nd/
Lol get ready to be trolled for hours by kuma again…
-
So Persona got a new anime based on the golden, that's kind of weird it doesn't feel like it was that long ago that the original aired. And wow are they going to redo everything? Would be kind of funny.
Maybe they'll improve the pacing/animation, but who am I kidding. Seems unlikely when they probably won't have more episodes but are given more material. -
I was watching the stream when they announced Persona 4 Golden anime and I have to say I was very disappointed, like most people there I just wanted some Persona 5 news. Also I before I didn't think they were milking the Persona 4 title that much but now at this point it feels a bit ridiculous to have a Persona 4 golden anime when the Persona 4 anime exists. They really are milking this franchise for all its worth until the udders run dry and only puff out powder. I mean they could have just made an anime for older Persona games, or Persona 4 arena, or even Persona Q, or even Rise's bloody dance game!
Can Atlus please just put out something about Persona 5 so that we know it won't just be Persona 4-2: More Scooby Doo adventures with a new moe girl to romance.
-
^Don't remind me, I was really hoping to get at least 1 picture but nope. It's kind of insane when you think about it.
Game is supposed to come out this year and we haven't seen anything significant of it and then we have stuff like FF15 or Watch Dogs where we are getting teased over years.Like can't there be a happy medium. I think I'm ok when people start promoting one year before release.
-
Well the Persona 3 movie part 1 is out with english subtitles now. I have to say I really enjoyed the movie. It has nice production values and I really like the characterisation of Makoto, his character arc is much easier to follow in the movies than in the game. I went into the movie with low expectations and came out of it quite satisfied and pretty hyped for part 2.
In other news Ken Amada and Koromaru are the newly announced character for Persona 4 arena ultimax. Whilst Ken is terrible and no one likes him his inclusion in the game is pretty cool as he is backed up by Koromaru who was in fact not turned into Mitsuru's coat. It'll be interesting to see how he plays as both Ken and Koromaru constitute the same playable character slot so it might be a bit of a clusterfuck especially when they get their persona involved. Maybe they'll play like Carl Clover does in Blazblue.
I think it's pretty cute that Koromaru now wears Ken's old hoodie too.
Also these 3 years have been pretty good to Ken:

So, Persona 4 is on the PSN for cheap right now, and I'm probably going to get it, even though its not the, by all accounts, better Vita Golden version, but…
Mostly have two questions. I know somewhere along the way they figured out to
1)let you control the party members
2)pick and choose the abilities your monsters fuse into their children, rather than resetting the randomizer a thousand times before settling on a "good enough" standard that carried most of the abilities you want.Was it by 4 that they had figured those two things out? Or was it the handheld version of 3? Because if they fix those two things it'll go a looooong way towards me liking the game better. If they hadn't (and its just the portable ones that know better), well, I might just wait out on it still.

Well, I was waiting for Koromaru to be playable… not so much Ken. Means he'll proibably play like animals do in other fighting games... just sort of summoned for an attack here and there.
-
I like Ken, but I'm much more looking forward to Koromaru being around him. Like, you just know Ken going to be KO'd at times, but Koromaru will be chill right next to him, acting like he wasn't defeated or anything.

Is that an actual comic panel, or just an edited Rage Kitty?
-
It's not real, but it gets passed around as if it were. It honestly NEEDS to be real.

The PS2 version of Persona 4 has controllable party members but you can't choose your fusion abilities.
If you're particular about optimizing spare yourself that experience. I love these games but that was just too time consuming to do. And if you accidentally zip your desired results away it's pretty depressing. But then I don't think that Persona 4 is that hard of a game, so there's also no particular need to optimize fully beyond just breaking the game. -
Is there any reason whatsoever behind the randomizer at all, though? Like, just to troll? Waste your time? Make you want to kick the game director in his ass?

It was like that since the earliest SMT games so they pretty much left it in until about FAIRLY recently (I think SMT IV and P4 Golden are the only two games that allows you to actually chose the skills). It's really strange since the SMT franchise (and it's spin offs) continued to update itself as it went along (thank god they got rid of the system where it costs money to summon demons) but they never bothered to change the skill randomizer thing for the longest time.
-
Devil Survivor was actually the first game to allow you to pick and choose skills. Now granted, all demons in that series only had seven skills period, three active, three passive, and one unchangeable innate, so being randomized wouldn't have had any point.
-
Pardon me for bumping up an old thread but…yeah this needs to be seen.
(Spoilers for those that didn't beat P4)
!
Yeah I know, Dick is slang for detective/copper/whatever, but it's still too funny -
Looks like someone's been hitting the weights.

How fucking crazy is it that P5 comes out this winter and we haven't seen anything substantial about it yet. I'm just about to start p4 again and finish my platinum.
-
I guess that means I need to pull double duty with P4Golden and Persona 3 Portable.

Didn't even know P3P had trophies why do you do this to me…
-
What I meant was I need to finish getting Golden's Trophies and actually start P3P which I downloaded a week ago and haven't touched. P3P doesn't actually have trophies so consider yourself lucky…..for now.
-
Thank god I don't think I can sit through 2 playthroughs of tartarus. Wheew bullet dodged:ninja:.
-
Ok the Rise trophy is officially the worst trophy I have attempted. Noting down every line I'm at a pitiful 22 now 228 to go…
I envy the people that got this trophy just normally 2 completionist playthroughs and it didn't pop for me so time to be methodical. -

Wasn't really sure what to comment on but after noting down 158 lines there's a growing sense of injustice whenever I hear someone tell me they got it without doing anything special xD.
-
I guess it just comes down to how much fate hates you. I thought to myself after reading the requirements for the trophy ain't no way in the hell I'm getting this on my first playthrough few days later Wha? I got it?
-
Oh my gawd. Finally Platinum and it only took 2 years to get it xD.(That's a whole year longer than it took me to get the Tales of Graces platinum, so the Persona burnout was real even more so than Tales)
I think I'm fucking done with P4 in any form. After 2 P4 and 3 P4G play throughs, 3 of them being completionist ones and a few anime and Persona 4 Arena now I'm fucking saturated with P4.
I'm so ready for P5 now. So yeah fuck P4A2…I wonder what my next Plat to revisit could be. Maybe Ni no Kuni only 4 grindy trophies away with the worst grind already done(scrolls of truth and the other thing).
-
Now I gotta step it up too. Once I make a few trips to top of Tartarus of course.

Which ones are you still missing? And good luck with (only read if you played p3 once before)
! not feeling sad for Junpei, oh poor Chidori.
Also favorite Tartarus bgm -
Which ones are you still missing?
"Legend of Inaba"
"Through Bookeeper"
"Compulsive Reader"
"Big Bro Is Worried"I'd probably had gotten them sooner if I hadn't been Death Hunting (and bought Unlimited World Red, which is also on the back burner).
-
Good luck with those. Seems like you already got the difficult stuff out of the way and since you mention Death Hunting(I assume the reaper)…
in my infinite love for Persona I have to say that the reaper orb item(nulls all normal dmg types) is kind of one of the most stupidest items designed ever.Not having a use for it because you're at the end anyway and super strong is one thing. But then they went out of their way and made almighty dmg spam at the end prevalent(yes have this overpowered endgame item that doesn't block anything important during the endgame) and giving the secret boss a "fuck off" button if you decide to equip it in that fight. Like what the fuck... who came up with that idea.
-
Lol I feel the same way about the asshole responsible for programming the Golden Shadows in Persona 3. I mean I can handle the fact that even if you touch them first they automatically get an advantage, I can even accept the fact that they like to run so damn much in and out battle, hell I don't even mind that they don't give up experience when defeated. But seriously why does there have to be quests tied to beating them especially with the first two problems constantly working against you and this is on top of Death lurking Tartarus like the troll he is.
-
For glory
It's not a lot but at least something let's hope for a more full blown reveal at TGSOh and in all my excitement I didn't even notice that it got delayed to 2015.
-
I'm not surprised it got delayed until 2015, there's no way they could have released it this year when we've been given so little information until now. Anyway it good to finally see what the MC looks like, the trailer alone already looks a lot more subdued from P3 and P4, no anime hair in sight. Also looks like we've gone back to the city setting. Needless to say I am excite, can't wait for TGS now.
Oh snap it's on PS4 as well. Now I'm really tempted to get that.

That's what I thought but apparently Atlus likes their full trailer reveal into 3 months after releases. At least people quote most of their prior games for it not being that unusual that they don't do year long hype up reveals for their games like we're used from other companies.

I'm going to smooch that P5 protagonist all day what a precious baby
gonna give him the grade-A snuggles

Really looking forward to rocking second year of highschool again(the guy has a "2" button on his uniform), I'm getting pretty good at it after 7-8 times :ninja:.
Also at 0:38 sec you can see eye cut ins on the building in style of the game battle close ups. Maybe a tease of possible party members?
Also funny Dancing All Night pic
