    Sadly, at this point, I can't help but think of him as "Charlie."

    And yet some people are griping about his name 'really' being Seta Souji as if the manga somehow means anything.

    It was the name I used, along with Minato Arisato (and his gender-swap, Minako Arisato) in P3.

    I don't see what's wrong with the name Souji. Sounds better than Yu.

    Just saying; there's no 'canon' name. He's meant to be the player, so whatever you want to name him.


    I liked Minato as a name; Souji not so much.

    Manga name > anime name

    But then I don't really care about either and only use the manga name because it's easier than coming up with a decent Japanese name myself.

    I use the "canon" names. Just not in the correct games. Raidoh goes to highschool in Inaba, Minato is adventuring in the post conception tokyo etc.

    I named Hitoshura(and my Imagine character) after a choice lyric from the Sailor Stars opening, and P4 'Gemini' for some odd reason.

    Possibly because it rhymed.

    I was justified in calling SJ's Roland, since he's supposed to be American.


    Also, never name Raidou 'Raidou', or else you'll miss out on knowing who calls him by his real name.

    Junpei is still a better character than the entirety of P4's cast aside from Kanji.

    Wait what...

    Also...two things.

    MC having a voice will be weird.

    Hopefully they steer clear of romantic involvements...unless it involves Chie then it's cool.

    It won't be weird in English because he'll be played by Johnny Yong Bosch.

    But then again, he also played Adachi, so...yeah it might be weird.

    As for romances, it'll be interesting since there wasn't exactly a "default" romance like in P3 (Yukari...or at least it was canon in the manga). I guess they could just leave that open or use one of the Social Links.

    I'd say Chie would be the best choice, but I think the fans prefer she stay ambiguously in love with someone else....

    Chie's the best choice, but what will probably happen is MC + Yukiko, Yosuke + Chie, Kanji + Naoto.

    I'm sure the series will suck just like Trinity Soul. I have absolutely no faith that it won't just become typical anime nonsense for 5 episodes at a time with one okay episode, or that the animation will be good. P4 did improve on P3's animation, but they really get lazy with characters that aren't the focus. Have you ever looked at people in the background of P3's cutscenes? They're just faceless blobs.

    Well I'm totally excited for P4 anime. How do you suppose they'd do the MC multiple persona thing? I can't imagine this'll be a full ~50 ep series for some reason, so I doubt it'd do well to have a demon-collecting gimmick. I mean, I'd love it to have 50 eps, but for some reason I feel it'll be at best half that.
    The "multiple persona" ability isn't as plot-centric as it is in Persona 3, so I imagine he'll stick to Izanagi throughout the series.

    I'm wondering how they'll handle the battles, whether the Persona are more used for "spellcasting," or if they'll take on a life of their own, like in Trinity Soul.

    Faceless blobs simplistically mean two things: Satoshi is commenting on the faceless nature of contemporary tokyo life and how technology fosters and amplifies the darker side of humanity's nature. Or like everyone else it's much cheaper not drawing those back round characters, or because it is so ubiquitous it's a snarky parody point such as in idiots and tests. Ok three things.

    Hmmmm maybe it's not as bad as I was remembering. I thought the train station scene in P3 was a good example but I couldn't see anything weird when I looked it up. Maybe I found the wrong one though. I just remember background characters looking really bad.

    Oh and in related videos I found the female version of the hot springs scene. Wow, they really don't want you to find the guys. Yukari gives you like 6 choices to stop or head back. It's like the developers want your character to get peeped on.

    The obvious option is to pair the MC with ALL the girls.
    Just like in the game. And for some reason, they never find out about each other.

    Brotagonist should be paired with Kanji.
    This leaves Chie should be paired with Yukiko.
    And Rise to be paired with Naoto.

    Physical or Magical MC? Stat distribution?

    (Holy fuck, an enemy crit and almost killed me in the tutorial. If i didn't put my fist point into Vit I'd be dead. O.O)
    (And the next battle after that finished at 1HP after I healed...)
    (And then CRIT... GAME OVER)

    Uh........ This is different.

    For Nocturne Physical is almost always your best bet. But early->midgame some spells (TORNADO/FOUL BREATH) will wreck shit.

    Edit: Though even as a physical MC Tornado did enough to suit my means throughout a good portion of the game.

    (I'm working on a youtube rip for the lazy, give it time.)


    Quick thoughts:

    -Remixed music is decent, original's still better
    -There's now a Weak! indicator like in P1SP
    -There's longer load times now, still not that bad

    :\ about the load times. Hopefully there will be an install option to make it as fast/faster than the original.

    that's why persona 4 was pure goodness when yuki is all, "this feels like your room," and chie is all "how do you know what his room is like. . . ." awkward. shame it did not become a live story thread. It does show that they are thinking about the issue.

    "Tutorial" *cough* Hospital beaten!
    Helel lvl8. Str +5 (+1), Vit +1, Agi +1.
    Compatriots: Pixie, Kodama, Will o' Wisp, Shikigami, Hua Po

    Once I was able to get Pixie AND SAVE, the first area became just fine. Prior to that? So many Game Overs due to unlucky misses or being crit. And the boss was child's play for having such an easily exploitable weakness; he got like 3 turns. Oh yeah, and I made sure to get my money from that bet.

    Any Magatama advice?

    Honestly, get any stat up/down you can. Specifically foul breath cause its one of the only ways to survive in Hard. Also, be VERY aware of what the weaknesses are on the magatama.
