    Maybe I'm just a negative nancy today, but I'll be happy if it's even a game. The stream is also going to go over the events of the first P3 movie, so tying the announcement to the anime makes me think the project is a P4 movie or something and the special guests are VAs.

    Yeah, almost certainly. I mean there's already, what, four Persona games on the way? Another would be crazy.

    Why they even bother releasing P5 on console first when everybody knows it's P5P that's gonna sell gangbusters.

    I really want a canon, female main character Persona 5 protagonist.

    The last time the series had one was 14 years ago, and I want one in the new dating sim/dungeon crawling Persona style. Doing a FeMC P3 run makes me want it even more.

    From the depths of my soul. My own Persona told me it was true.

    Well, finished P3P...now it's on to P4 I guess. Not Golden, but the original version has its plusses. Like a good Chie voice.

    My brother who is a fucking die hard obsessive SMT enthusiast was in a righteous indignation about Chie's P4G voice, and then about 10 hours in he texted me saying that it had grown on him, and then by the end of the game he was convinced it was better

    So you know

    Opinions!

    You're welcome to it!

    I just think Erin Fitzgerald did a damn good job, and as somebody who has had to replace somebody else in the arts industry before, it may just strike a nerve with me that some people won't give the replacement a shot. I've listened to the old Chie and I can agree that the voice itself may be a better fit for the character, but the acting is... not good. Whereas new Chie sounds a little too chipper at first but then you get used to it, and the acting is far superior. I would much rather have a good VA with the casting being a little weird than have the voice be perfect for the character but the acting be weird in places.

    Eh. Erin Fitzgerald wasn't bad. She was just not as good as OG Chie. But then, she's usually really hit or miss for me, so...

    (just for the record, I've watched a bunch of scenes of Golden on Youtube + Arena so I am at least passingly familiar with both.)

    My point is that with a game as beloved as Persona 4, I think it's more fair to give Erin Fitzgerald a break. Tracey Rooney wasn't able to return, so somebody had the unenviable job of replacing the voice of one of the main cast of characters in a game people hold really strong opinions about. Even if you think the old voice is better, EF still did really good, considering the inevitable and predictable tide of "it's different and now I don't like it" that the Internet is so fond of.

    I feel like we could go at this forever, so let's agree to disagree? I will end my part on this by saying I meant no disrespect to Erin Fitzgerald or anyone who prefers that version of Chie. Just that I prefer Tracey Rooney's Chie.

    Also, let's find some common ground: Nanako is awesome.

    It's funny that more than a few people wanted Nanako to be a playable character in P4A2. What would her shadow version have even been like?
    I mean, this is after Dojima ostensibly got his act together at home and Nanako made peace with her mom dying.

    I like her new VA. There's one scene I'll never be able to forget just because of how bad the old VA's delivery was.

    Goddamn, I love Persona 4. It's made even more clear to me when I play it directly after Persona 3, which is...not my favorite, to say the least.

    I feel like I enjoy P3 and 4 a little less when I replay them... whereas I like P2 a little more each time. Maybe I'm just a masochist.

    Anyway, I think I would worship Golden just for the ability to choose which skills my Personas get. "Oh, Margaret, you want to see a Black Frost with Auto-Sukukaja? Well I want to show you one. X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O..."

    Well, the old models have actually gone up in price since Sony recalled them from stores.

    1000 Model: Way way way way way better screen.
    2000 Model: Much lighter, uses standard USB instead of proprietary USB charger, slightly better battery life, and internal 1gb memory so you can at least have some cart-based game saves on that.
    32gb memory cards are ~$70. 64gb memory cards around ~$100. Anything less isn't recommended.
