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

With that much of a gap between the Japanese and U.S. release I guess I'm going to order the Japanese version and hope my Japanese is good enough to understand most of it. Does anyone have any recommendations about where to preorder? I see play-asia and yesasia mentioned a lot, with the latter having it for $10 cheaper. Anyone used these sites before?

Anyone used these sites before?[/QUOTE] Persona Central made this handy guide back when the Japanese release date was revealed: [URL]http://personacentral.com/persona-5-import-guide-japanese-copies/[/URL] I've been thinking of doing the same. I'll likely spring for the 20th Anniversary Edition, and I'm probably gonna go with CDJapan personally. They're the only one that I've ever ordered physical goods from, and everything's been fine so far. Most recently I pre-ordered some art books from them and they were shipped the day they were released. I've only got experience with digital codes when it comes to Play-Asia, but they've been around for a good long while, and so know what they're doing even when it comes to shipping stuff, I've heard. Amazon Japan and AmiAmi are fine too, I'm sure.

[QUOTE=Xonax;50463635]Did that actually happen?[/QUOTE] Every follow up game to P4 has made it into a "He likes girly things" subject. They've done this to every character. Remember when Chie was a character and not "Lol MEAT" and "I'm a dumb tomboy with nothing else to define me"? Apparently the writers of P4A and DAN forgot Imagine Akihiko came back in a game and his only discernible characteristic was that he liked to work-out, or that Mitsuru was a dominatrix because she was strict. Oh, wait, that totally fucking happened because fuck me

John Hardin is always full of shit. Every single fucking response to the question of Dual Audio is always "the english will be good", which is a roundabout way of saying 'no'. "temper expectations" (lower them) "is even viable" (it totally is unless you're Atlus) "hope it can work out" (He doesn't hope, if you look at his replies from a few years ago he's almost passive aggressive in his defense of the english VAs) "you should expect" (just what it sounds like) [editline]8th June 2016[/editline] And don't forget that time there was a survey about dual audio and it was only open for two hours

There was jokes about that but Akihiko was traveling the world to get stronger [sp]because of Nyx and The Answer[/sp] and Mitsuru's outfit was picked out by her maids as a special ops outfit.

Except they're spin-offs, sooo Honestly, I can never take any "continuation" outside a confirmed sequel seriously, especially when character personality is concerned.

[QUOTE=Zeos;50478283]Persona Q and Ultimax take these characterizations seriously, and Dancing All Night solidifies the P4 cast's personalities as canon.[/QUOTE] Persona Q is chibi though so it fits that and keep in mind these spin-offs are mainly just fan service. Ultimax has the problem of it [sp]wanting to bring back MC but getting a rewrite halfway through development[/sp]

P5's release is a sobering reminder I don't currently have a PS3/4. Hoping to get one this black friday, honestly. The Premium Edition is dope as all hell.

So with the NA cover having some changes made to it so Morgana's face wouldn't be covered up, someone pointed out they could have just flipped the cover. And John said they didn't want to be at odds with the artist's original intent...

I'm ok with Morgana being move closer since she's already pretty far away from everyone else and it makes for a tighter group shot when she's moved closer.

The Premium Edition is dope as all hell.[/QUOTE] I've also not bought a PS4 yet, but I would suggest not to buy one unless you want a lesser experience as the PS4 Neo is supposedly going to be announced and probably drop around Octoberish/Holiday season. It will also come with extra performance, which the PS4 sorely needs.

I still like how other guy just hasn't been mentioned, like he's just there

[QUOTE=Zeos;50484159]I still like how other guy just hasn't been mentioned, like he's just there[/QUOTE] He's going to be the butt of jokes and always forgotten

I've got a PC to get the most out of games performance/graphics wise, and would just want the PS4 for exclusives/renting games. There's a shit-ton of them out there, and I can't imagine the vanilla versions will run awfully until some time has passed. But either way I was fully prepared to play Persona 5 on my PS3 anyways, since that was $100. It looks like it should be able to handle that game just fine, and I'll just get that version if I can't get a cheap PS4 by February.

[QUOTE=Zeos;50484159]I still like how other guy just hasn't been mentioned, like he's just there[/QUOTE] Because he's the Naoto. He's a big secret. Also hi wow forgot this thread existed for like a year. [editline]11th June 2016[/editline] And thats double impressive considering how little Japan cares about spoilers. What? Who is this mysterious young man, what a mystery i know they were in the role call with the rest of the party but whoa.....

I play on PC primarily so I really don't have any real interest in the PS4 due to hardware specs, I just wanna play games like Final Fantasy XV and Persona 5, etc.

[QUOTE=OzzyCockroach;50523527]it's better than Teddy[/QUOTE] that's not saying much

Also whoever designed the UI is a fucking god [editline]15th June 2016[/editline] Battle music sounds amazing too

[QUOTE=gama189;50521997]Persona 5 gameplay is showing up at E3! [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2dskOKqNIA[/media][/QUOTE] I wonder why they didn't show off what they've done with the english version. If they wanted to help convince people that P5's english dub is great, they should have done that. Also pretty cool that Morgana follows you around everywhere in your bag commenting on every job/activity you do.

So it looks like demon negotiation is in? That's pretty cool.

This is the worse performance I've seen in a while. I'm really hoping that the whole performance is not like that. And I genuinely am okay with the overall performance of Atlus's dubs. Don't mistake that for complacency, I wish the games did have dual audio still.

Morgana's gonna be with you literally almost the entire game so either way it's gonna suck

i just hope her writing is good if theyre gonna keep that mediocre voice no cat puns please

[QUOTE=froztshock;50524206]So it looks like demon negotiation is in? That's pretty cool.[/QUOTE] Not only that, they're called Hold Ups and are done while holding a gun to the enemy. Gotta love those extra touches. [QUOTE=KillRay;50524916]no cat puns please[/QUOTE] Stop being a pussy.
