I love Haru!

...

First for qt Joker who can't watch 3D movies.

What a surprise so I do I

>get an urge to replay P3 and P4 after getting platinum in P5
>remember the empty corridor, randomly generated dungeons
>give up on the idea

someone give me a good jrpg to fill the void after P5

I can't wait for Persona 5 Goro of the Resurrection!

Persona 4 Dancing All Night is fucking dumb

If you took a SIP of a drink every time they say the word "bond" then you'd be dead just a few hours into the game, and you'd be extra dead if you somehow managed to live 'til the end of the game, then you get killed which is what makes you die.

Point is they say the word bonds so fucking much that it has lost all meaning.

...

Persona 4 isn't that bad in that area.

Turning Haru down in her Slink made me genuinely sad.

I can't pick her over the cute NEET though, I just can't.

It still has randomly generated dungeons with long empty corridors.

Just that they're now split into themes and spread out, but it's akin to the different sections of Tartarus.

Cold Steel 1-2 ,Persona 4 golden , Akiba's trip¿

That fucking Morgana just cracks me up.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions is good.

You can do it ,just about all the violent cuteness you're missing

What's so good about it?

The only thing I know about it was the controversy regarding its localization (right down to the localization team contacting one of the Japanese VAs to revoice a line to fit their localization).

It's ok user, I understand.

You did the right thing.

>(right down to the localization team contacting one of the Japanese VAs to revoice a line to fit their localization).

Wow seriously?

It really didn't make me sad. I expected more, really

What exactly is the difference between P4 and P4G? I'd consider getting a Vita TV if it actually improves on something more than adding that OC donut steel bitch

Not that user, but the dungeons are pretty good and the game is fairly challenging on hard mode.

The story is your typical idolshit and the UI feels like a beta test for Persona 5. It's fun enough, but it might be a tough sell after playing P5 if only for the fact Persona does everything better.

>Tfw you will never have a cool caregiver who will leave you in charge of a cafe and teach you how to make bomb ass curry and coffee

Why even live my dudes?

...

how have I not noticed this creepy cunt before?

1 Extra dungeon
A few personas
More events for the scooby doo team

Better battle theme (fite me vanillafags), can walk around at night, more events, an extra dungeon and boss, feburary isn't cut short, can choose abilities on fused personas, improved combat.

That's what I heard, among other things like covering up character outfits and changing around scenes to look more family friendly. If anything, all people ever talked about was the controversies regarding its localization that no one ever talked about how the game itself was and if it was any good or fun. It also has no English dub apparently, it's all subtitled.

Challenging, huh? Persona's idea of challenge is a numbers game meaning early game is hell until you start managing your SP better. What's the challenge of this game?

Don't worry, P4G adds a fuck ton of quality of life features. Stuff like skill cards, more days to do stuff (you get the entirety of January for instance), new Personas for Yu and your teammates, new skills for your teammates to learn, and a lot of new events like a beach trip and a ski trip. Also two new Social Links, one with Marie unfortunately but one with... Adachi.

Marie's annoying as hell but honestly I think she's worth putting up with because the rest of the game is just so much of an improvement over the original.

Also improved fusion, skill cards and revamped shuffle time mechanics, more abilities and a third persona with a unique skill for all party members and more stuff to do during days and nights.

...

Fuck it's been ages since I played an SMT game. Did Persona 4 have the same musicality to it as Persona 5 does? I love how the music feels like an element of the gameplay, like how you can time all-out attacks or baton passes with rhythm of the songs. I love it.

>Save some celebrity I don't give a shit about
>Favorite teacher gets their shit murdered instead.

FUCK. FUCKING FUCK. OF ALL THE FUCKING PEOPLE.

Why the hell dd it have to be the based philosophy man of wrecking people's shit?

People overdehyped Marie so much that when I finally got around to playing Golden I didn't find her that bad

There's a Mementos quest you do that relates to her.

Could Sae have merged with her Shadow to get a Persona, like Futaba did? If so, what do you think it would be like?

How is Yu straight if he stands like that

>If so, what do you think it would be like?

probably an Oceans 11 character

His spirit lives on.
You little shit.

You seriously liked King Moron?

I think it's more so the fact that they tried to shove her down your throat so bad and the anime of Golden just really made this worse. Like... she gets integrated into the IT (albeit during Social Links since she has little to no bearing on the main story itself until near the very end), everyone seems to treat her fine and basically ask no questions, and care about her when her life's in danger even though they know nothing about her. Yeah, the IT are heroes, heroes should help those in need, but... still. Also her poems are cringe, and she is an option for Valentine's Day that you cannot... not do. Like she shows up regardless I think.

At least she gets shit on in Persona Q... sort of.

>"The smiles of others are the ultimate reward for allies of justice."
SHE'S TOO PERFECT
I CAN'T HANDLE IT

Worst girl

I get why people don't like her but I don't think she's as bad as people make her out to be either.

>tfw you realize in a real world Haru would be a spoiled daddy's girl and almost certainly an unbearable cunt

why are video games so much better than real life

I know how you feel user. I'm on my second playthrough right and nearly everything she says makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

I don't think P4 does, no. That's not to say it's disconnected from the game's mood and atmosphere. It's just that P5 is when they decided to really incorporate the mood directly to the gameplay as well.

If Sae did enter her own palace and met her shadow then yes, she could've accepted it and got her own Persona the same way Futaba did. It follows every rule to get one, as far as I'm aware.

Me every time I'm with Haru

I don't know why you'd think that. I've known rich kids who were plenty nice. Maybe not international food company rich but certainly well off enough that they'd never have to work a day in their life if they didn't want to.

He isn't
they asked Tsubasa's Nipponese VA to record a line where she says she's 18 instead of 17

Probably a good dps dealer using a dual saber for Melee (maybe also throwing chips or cards during her criticals) and a Sniper rifle as gun

Thank's again Kanji for being the only other sensible person besides myself.

Oh yeah he was a humongous prick, but every other line he had was comedy gold.

I've known 2 guys in high school whose parents owned a decently-sized businesses and they were both assholes that shoved that fact into everyone's faces.

I guess I was just unlucky

>record a line where she says she's 18 instead of 17

Which... still baffles and almost astounds me. I don't think I've ever heard of any other situation where a localization team does that. You'd think they'd just work around it somehow but they made the effort to call in the Japanese VA... it's so bizarre.

...

I'M GOING TO GET YOU, NANAKO
JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED

I've known rich assholes too. But I've known poor assholes and middle class assholes too. Chances are if someone is an asshole, they would be regardless of their economic status.

when joker is isnt smugi as fuck

So what'll happen when they reveal Morgana is the new master of the Velvet Room?

Nice to see another Takemedic around

is this an ant doctor?

she's easily the best cougar in the game

people picking Kawakami over her disgust me

I love Ann

But I respect everyone elses waifus, and I think all waifus are great

Kawakami is my least favorite of the older women. I mean I like her as a teacher but fuck romancing her. Not only is she a trainwreck but she shouldn't be messing with students like that, how's that going to help her self esteem. Girl needs to learn to love herself first of all then find someone her own age.

As much as I fucking hate Akechi, I really wish he was a party member for more than one dungeon

Not to mention him joining right before the Casino made the twist pretty obvious

Ted if you keep talking about scoring with mai waifu I'm going to turn your fresh new insides into outsides. You can totally have Yukiko though.

That's probably technically possible since he's hollow inside

I still liked Akechi, I felt sorry for him the whole game, I didn't like how (despite not knowing the twist) the game encourages you to be cold with him. I really liked him before seeing him go off the rails.

God Morgana is so much better than Teddie, I fucking hated that bear.

Hah
I'd be for it.
A bit sad, it'd mean he abandoned joker to his horrible parents

Yeah his lines before he went apeshit were really nice but honestly I expected him to be the traitor as soon as he asked to join the PTs. So I kinda assumed his whole nice guy personality was made up.

>tfw if Yu was Joker, there would've been a dialogue option like that

>Got the Passionate Listener trophy while fighting Groo

I thought it was hard to get.

Guys, I need pictures of Morgana with the "Get Smoked" hat.

OH FUCK ME TED'S A TWINK

Man I am so glad I got to see the study/marriage scene, honestly thought I missed it somehow.
Tickles my heart good.

When I look back at it the whole fucking atmosphere of P4 was so infantile. I enjoyed the game back in high school but I don't think I could bring myself to play it now.

You get Futaba's lines when you target enemy weaknesses, do all out attacks etc. It's only hard to get if you're playing like a retard.

hnnnng

>M-m-m-marriage!?

I guess I played like a retard for 250+ hours

Add another 250+ if you want to count my failed attempt at getting the equivalent trophy in P4G

I really don't get how people just get it on their first try. At all.

>marriage

Nani?

That's the Rise one, Futaba is quite easy instead

My guess is that Nintendo really wanted to keep the age rating down to 'T'. They likely wanted the widest audience they could get considering it didn't do too well at Japan.

>Ryuji: Protag, you ever think about getting married?
>Protag: Of course. (There are other choices but who gives a fuck)
>Cue party member romantic interest struggling to keep her spaghetti

Wait until you see his festival outfit

he's still annoying but I'd fuck him

>Makoto x Joker
>Anne x Ryuji
>Futaba x Yusuke
>Haru x Goro

Daily reminder that this is the optimal pairing in P5

D-did Yosuke piss off YHVH so bad one time that he put him into a special hell where every week has a fresh new torture? It's the only explaination I can come up with at this point.

Fuck off retard.

>Haru x Joker
>Futaba x Ryuji
>Anne x Yusuke
>Makoto x Goro

Daily reminder that this is the optimal pairing in P5

God hates fags.
Why do you think it ended so badly for Tatsuya?

>Anne x Yusuke

didn't think there are people playing P4 for the first time here. How'd you avoid knowing Teddie had a twink in there? It's hilarious how that's a better kept secret then the killer.

Maybe I'm paranoid but but Yu and Akira are just too perfect, almost suspect in a way. This feeling is amplified if you don't give them a girlfriend, they feel more like sociopaths accruing moral influence through their bonds. It's really strange.

>Haru x Goro
>Makoto x Goro

Incorrect

Post him in his ski outfit hanging out with Yu

JokerxFutaba
AnnxRyuji
YusukexPainting
HaruxMorgana
GoroxPancakes

Daily reminder that this is the optimal pairing in P5

Yu's shadow is good evidence for that

Yeah, I kinda wonder how people would react if they knew that protags were just hanging out with them to make stronger demons.
Seriously, most of the time the best responses are just telling them whatever the hell they want even if they're going down a bad path.
I think that's what's great about P3MC though, he knows the strongest bonds are romantic bonds so he just goes full hog with it.

Why does no one likes Haru?

the way her English VA shouts 'persona!' is pretty cute, sounds like her trying to be ferocious but failing adorably

You know full well that isn't true, user.
I love it too.
