I think the new character's name is actually Marie. 60 seconds in google says that the name Mary is written as: メアリー (Me-a-ri-i), and Marie is written as マリー (Ma-ri-i)

...

I didn't even realize how much this would improve the game until you mentioned it. What's the point of semi-randomly assigning skills anyway, other than "That's how we did it in Nocturne/P3". All it meant was wasting ten minutes hitting X and Circle until they came up anyway.

Edit: "gently caress YOU PULINPA GO AWAY"

I think they assume players don't actually do that and just take whatever they get, to add a "every fusion is different" gimmick. Unfortunately sometimes things require that much sperginess.

I wonder if Marie will have some connection to the fighting game? Like Vincent in P3P, but with a larger role.

I was thinking something like that but for P5 instead. V could be a numeral too.

All of Marge's requests require that you do it, though. It's especially fun when you're trying to pass down a specific ability through a six-persona fusion!

drat, and I thought it was hardcore when I spent an hour trying to get a couple of skills (Mind Charge and something else like Growth 3) for Trumpeter.

The best thing is getting the skills you want and then canceling the fusion anyway, as you kinda start pressing that button automatically after you've spent fifteen minutes going in and out of the fusion screen. :suicide:

That video would be more effective if he weren't doing it wrong, trying to fuse all the dynes onto one persona. Element coverage is what switching personas is for. Its supposed to be 3 or 4 passives that you spend a half hour trying to fuse onto one guy.

This seems to be more of an FES thing than a P3P thing. Like FES added a bunch of fluffy things but nothing super substantial other than the Answer. Maybe they'll release a P4P for the 3DS because then they could excuse away not putting much effort into it. :shepface:

I'll probably preorder the game but wait a few years for the Vita to go down in price or the Vita Slim to come out or whatever. That's assuming this even comes out in the US. I don't see why it wouldn't because it's not like the Vita is going to be bursting with competition but then again ~Atlus~.

How could they not include a female path wasn't the female path super popular in P3P aaaaaaaaaaaaargh

Yep.
I'm beginning to think the female path was available in P3P BECAUSE of the point and click style presentation. There wasn't as much resources required with all the animation and such absent. With this version keeping all the 3D models/animations intact, maybe they consider too costly to make all the additions required for a P4 female MC?

And if there's no female MC then at least let the male MC date Kanji.

I'm just going to point out that I don't think anyone requested a Ken romance option in P3P and that was just Atlus being horrible all on their own.

Nobody even liked Ken.

I really hope that they add a way to chose what abilities you want to inherit while fusing, instead of just backing out a billion times until you get what you want, but I doubt it will happen.

Frankly, I'd be happy if they just added a single button press that allowed you to recycle the random inherited skills instead of having to back out and reselect the personas you want to fuse.

Also, I swear, you could have knocked me over with a feather when they announced the freaking fighting game. It's like Atlus knew what genre and IP they needed to merge to most efficiently suck fifty dollars clean out of my wallet.

Aside from Aegis, do you think any other Persona 3 characters are going to make the cut for the last few select screen slots? My heart says Junpei, but for variety I'd bet on Koromaru.

e: gently caress it, Igor needs to be in there. Dude's put his time in for the Persona series, now he should get to whoop some rear end.

I'm not exactly keen on the series dipping into previous incarnations for guest spots, but is Aigis generally reviled or something? I mean, she's about as "anime" as the series has allowed itself to get, but I still found her to have a decent story arc and character development.

Why in the hell would Atlus add in Aegis to Persona 4? There would be like no place for her at all for a cameo.

I know full and well they are probably going to do this and it is going to be even more stupid than Yukiko showing up in P3P, just let me live in denial a little longer because I loved Catherine so much.

Aigis is the most popular Persona 3 character for some reason, so of course she's not reviled. But she's every robot trope packed into one and due to that she is quite boring and trust me and no, Aigis is not the most anime this series has gotten but she is pretty drat close, it's still hard to top the awful cultural fest from P4 for most anime the series has gotten. It also doesn't help that her fanbase is loving nuts and Atlus thought it would be a good idea to add sexual innuendo to her.

She has an extremely rabid fanbase. I didn't mind her as a character but after Atlus' idea of fanservice was Robo-finger banging in FES, I get a bit wary when they want to use her for things.

I was stuck by how she has a normal voice in the Japanese version but a somewhat robotic one in the English. I wonder why they made that decision?

She kind of grew on me, in a STTNG Data kind of way. She just wanted to be recognized as a person. I never played FES though so I don't know what kind of perversion they visited upon her there.
