Megami Tensei Series [Spoilers Inside] - Arrested for Youtube crimes

I like 4 but I don't really mind the spin-offs, don't buy them if you don't think it'll be good? I mean sure it's annoying sometimes but 5 is coming and all so I don't see why it's that hard to ignore it.
[QUOTE=For No Reason;47825621]Ok so apparently I'm a fucking prophet because Atlus USA just uploaded that P4 DAN opening song lyric video to the American YouTube channel and included fall 2015 as a generalized western release date in the description.[/QUOTE]
fuck that means P5 probably comes out in Winter 2015/16
Oh god I have to do a really long media blackout if that's the case
I can get why the spinoffs would bother some people but I don't really see a problem with them since they ended up being enjoyable games anyway. If they were actually bad to play I would care more, but I don't really see a problem with them making spinoffs if they actually give a shit about making them, which they evidently have given the quality of each one. P4A and P4AU were solid fighting games and Persona Q was a good mix on Etrian style games (though the whole canon / not canon thing was definitely stupid imo)
I mean spinoffs are spinoffs, regardless of their canonical integrity the whole point is they're avenues to try new things or do something different. Persona 4 was pretty perfect for it since it's the most popular one. If they ever were gonna get a chance to make tons of entries in a particular game, I'm happy they did it with the one that's the least serious out of all of them and not something else.
I'm sad we don't get the 300$ version of the game that comes with a new vita and a statue of Yu Narukami
I mean sure some of the P4 spinoffs are ridiculous, but Arena and Ultimax are fucking 10/10 and Labrys is the best character in the entire P4 canon. If they hadn't made spinoffs, we'd never have this.

Her first appearance was actually a P3 drama CD. Not really a P4 character.
Ultimax is pretty fun though, finally I can live out my dream of beating up inferior waifus as my waifu.

I'm well aware. She makes her first ingame appearance, however, in a P4 title.
If Arena hadn't been created, who knows if she'd ever had ended up in the games?
I want an Aigis action game that isn't a mobile title. She's super agile, can graft guns onto her arms and use magic. Probably not happening 2 games later though.

If they hadn't made spinoffs, we'd never have this.[/QUOTE]Yeah, got P4AU and Arena when it was on sale and it was great. The conceit for the fights actually was pretty neat when it was laid out, and I loved being able to see things from other characters' perspectives. That was a problem with P4 for me, where your party members just kinda screwed around or focused on investigating, and all their character development in social links was directed at you, a blank slate, or tertiary characters.
Being able to see these events play out from other eyes made me like and sympathize with everyone a lot more. Yu was pretty easily able to clean up the problem, but what happened when Chie was the one who had to solve the case? It was a pretty big ordeal for her, and interesting to see through. And even though Labrys only had one token fight in her story, it had me hooked all the way through. I love those SEES guys, but Labrys really should have hopped on the Investigation Team. That's how the whole deal works!
[QUOTE=Altimor;47832034]Ultimax is pretty fun though, finally I can live out my dream of beating up inferior waifus as my waifu.[/QUOTE]Ultimax didn't do it for me as much, though. Maybe it was a bit of fatigue jumping right from Arena to Ultimax, but it seems like they weren't trying anywhere near as much. Fighting all the fake shadows, that apparently couldn't just jump off of fake Tartarus for the dumb plot reasons, became a by-the-numbers boring task to work through. Having the P3 guys show up and then hang around and do nothing bothered me at first, but being able to replay it with them solved that.
I couldn't really care less about Sho, also. He just a huge brat that tries to half-heartedly copy the final bosses of 3 and 4, while trying to come off as a SUPER COOL RIVAL for Yu. Playing as Labrys at the end made me feel a bit better about it all, since Yu was being pretty self-righteous about BONDS at Sho, but not by much.
Still though, they were both pretty damn fun to play, and it kept me going to the end. I can't imagine what spin-offs they've got planned for Persona 5, and if they can keep this train going, but it'll be cool to see.

I haven't even tried the story mode, I just like to beat the shit out of humans. I'm still quite bad at it though.

I'm also not so good at fighting games, although I'm slowly working up to playing online. Does anyone know if it's still alive on the PS3?

There usually aren't too many players on at a time, but I've yet to be totally unable to find someone.
[QUOTE=Altimor;47833353]There usually aren't too many players on at a time, but I've yet to be totally unable to find someone.[/QUOTE]How often are you able to win? I'm worried that they only ones sticking around are those who've actually gotten good at the game, and I won't be able to touch them for a long, long time.
PS3 is still alive, usually from about 5-6PM GMT onwards, though where people are from varies wildly. I was playing just a while ago but having not played for like a month, I sucked ass and got destroyed (and somehow got put down to light blue, I'm officially terrible according to player colour lmao). I tend to have a fairly level amount of wins and losses, though.
There is a nice spectrum of players in lobbies. Some are amazing, some are terrible, some will put up a good fight, and some will play in a way that helps you learn how to fight better. Player rooms tend be full of higher level players who want to play endless serious fights, but you can make your own and hope for the best.
I myself will probably be playing some more Ultimax later. I'm down for playing with anyone if they want as always, though you'll have to add me on PSN etc etc
Wow, the P4DAN [URL="http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/1433240903"]Snowflakes[/URL] remix is really good, probably the best remix so far.
Whelp, looks like P4DANDF is doing more damage to my wallet than the steam summer sales.

Who gets the Marie costume? Marge? Nanako? Future Nanako?
Also what are those emblem/book things on the side?

Oh my fucking God, that Rise costume.
Who cares about the other people, the only bit of that image that's important is the swaggerific Nanako.
Have some new trailers: [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVPlxdPsm0w"]Margaret trailer[/URL] and [URL="http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/1433484733"]Time to Make History[/URL].

Alright, this is exciting: [URL="http://personacentral.com/atlus-adds-10k-to-the-persona-4-arena-ultimax-evo-2015-tournament-competitive-catherine/"]Atlus USA is adding $10,000 to the P4AU prize pool at EVO this year![/URL]
Super happy to see them support the game's tournament scene some more. If I'm not mistaken, the last time they really did that was back in December at [URL="http://shoryuken.com/2014/09/29/atlus-providing-1500-bonus-to-persona-4-arena-ultimaxs-prize-pool-at-northeast-championships-15/"]Northeast Championships with a bonus of $1500.[/URL]
Really looking forward to some hype matches!
Atlus will also have P4D playable there, along with some giveaways, and [URL="https://youtu.be/6AHFPZJS9IU"]"competitive Catherine!"[/URL]
[QUOTE]FNR: i thought of something
FNR: in dancing all night, the characters actively interact with the music by dancing to it
FNR: which indicates that they
FNR: can in fact
FNR: hear he music
FNR: does that mean that shoji meguro, shihoko hirata, yumi kawamura, and lotus juice all exist in the persona universe?
HWECQI: no idea
FNR: they can hear the music
FNR: they have to exist in universe
FNR: i choose to believe this
[/QUOTE]
I want Soejima to draw them now just so I can feel like its real.
Well P3MC's been listening to Burn My Dread for a while now.
I'm pretty confident in my assumption that Lotus Juice is Kanji's dad, too.

That costume... really doesn't seem like something Naoto would wear.
That's the point.
Putting the most modestly dressed girl in a revealing outfit is just a cute gag, really.
If you make her wear it in game she points out that it offers no defensive capabilities and how embarrassed she is to wear it.
[QUOTE=Zeos;47917786]That costume... really doesn't seem like something Naoto would wear.[/QUOTE]
It's in P4G. Chie, Yukiko, and Naoto all had those really skimpy costumes.
The Rise one is new though since Rise didn't have any costumes in P4G.
