Wow end of 3rd day is kinda bullshit. 2 fights back to back, and a lovely gimmick on the second one, too

Nice Eternal Punishment is awesome. The original translation was really good so it won't be as much of an improvement as Persona 1 or the first time most people see it like Innocent Sin, but it's still my favorite and I never finished the extra dungeon so I'll definitely pick it up. Like TurnipFritter said they better get those load times under control since that was ridiculous,e specially with the game's high encounter rate. It would be nice if they also included a "Maya Mode" where she wasn't a silent protagonist but that's pretty unlikely. I hope these games give some renewed interest and those games finally result in some Persona 2 merchandise though... On the topic of Survivor 2 I was surprised with how much more immediately violent it was. With DS1 society takes a while to break down and people start killing each other but here it's crashed subways with bodies thrown about and monsters turning npcs to ash.

No one cared about P2IS in the US, so there's no way in hell it's coming over. Not enough teenage anime dating for today's Atlus fans. Plus by the time they could get a US release out the PSP would be deader than a doornail. Don't get your hopes up. It is kind of funny that EP was the only one to come over back in the PSX days and IS was the only one to come over now, though.

Honestly couldn't they just slap the PSX translation on, change the P1 cameo characters' names so that they are back to their Japaneses version and call it a day? I doubt it would be a huge release but I would think that the Persona name at this point is worth some sort of profit even if it's on an outdated system. I don't think people are exactly busting at the seams to upgrade to the Vita and 3DS yet.

Having never owned a psp and only interested in one for persona related reasons, I was curious as to whether anyone's played them on the vita. They seem to be on the list of downloadable titles so should be playable on it, right?

The cutscenes are great looking but the gameplay looks kinda grainy but playable.

All Atlus has to do is release a PSN version alongside it so they're Vita-compatible. Of course lowering the prices on their games to even $30 would be an improvement as well.

Just ordered Persona 4 because I've been hearing about it for years and have been on a bit of a Japanese game kick lately. I'm going in pretty much knowing nothing beyond what's in the OP here and knowing some character names and stuff from Giant Bomb (haven't watched the ER obviously). Looking at the Before I Play thing seems absolutely confusing as poo poo, is this stuff that the game will definitely explain even if only briefly? I want to play without a guide but I also don't want to get stuck in an unwinnable situation halfway into what seems like a longass game. I think I asked this in the Before I Play thread actually and apparently the manual is quite good and will clear up alot of those terms which is nice but it still seems very possible to screw yourself over unknowingly, is it?

Vita can play P1, P2 and P3P as long as you get the digital versions. Then you get P4 Vita.

Hahah, I doubt you'll need any of that. Persona 4 is fairly simple and there are tutorials ingame. It's not an easy game, but you shouldn't get into an unwinnable situation if you play it right (ie. don't wait until the last day to explore the dungeon.)

You can still miss out on stuff but that's to be expected; it's virtually impossible to see everything in one go without a guide so don't even try.

Does anyone have any tips for the fourth day boss in DS2? Any demon combos would be appreciated. Getting to the boss is just a pain since those stupid birds move so goddamn fast and just murder my demons with mazan or berserk. e: I know it was practically the same thing in DS1 (IIRC at least) but I wish Free Battles actually gave decent xp and weren't just basically there for money + skill farming. :\ Ibram Gaunt fucked around with this message at 00:45 on Mar 1, 2012 |

Ibram Gaunt posted:Does anyone have any tips for the fourth day boss in DS2? Any demon combos would be appreciated. Getting to the boss is just a pain since those stupid birds move so goddamn fast and just murder my demons with mazan or berserk. Avian Suparna (lv 31) is great for this level as it resists force/phys and has flight. (Wilder Afanc (lv 33) would be good too, but you're probably going to need to grind for it if you want one.) Put Ice Dance, Ice Boost and Anti-Force on your best mage (Drain and Anti-Phys would be nice too), give them a Suparna and another demon with force resistance and preferably a good ice attack, then let them head up across the water, via the raft floating in the middle (and get rid of the spawn point there while they're at it). Have the rest of the group prioritize destroying the spawn points. You'll want at least one of them capable of moving across water, to get at the boat on the left side. (It certainly won't hurt to bring more than one Suparna, even if it is a bit boring.) The birds are weak to ailments - you may have some luck stoning/charming them.

Prioritize destroying the spawn points first. Focus on defensive over offensive. I had a MAG-heavy protagonist with the appropriate elemental dance and he could finish the boss in one round for each of his movement patterns. Phys will probably have a harder time.

The Velvet Room in 2 always gave me this legit-creepy Twin Peaks type vibe. There's a bunch of weird characters hanging out in it instead of just Igor and a cute assistant.

According to the article: They listened to a lot of complaints people had about IS, and reduced the load times, they also added a way to fastforward during cutscenes. Apparently the new scenario added in shows what Tatsuya's up to during the events of EP.

I'm liking the black. All the red in the P2:IS menus wears on my eyes when I'm playing it for several hours straight.Policenaut posted:How'd they go about that? After Gungnir x Growlanser 4 I've just totally blanked on Atlus USA announcement tactics. Nearly missed this, sorry! Basically they sent out a copy of the Atlus Faithful newsletter from June 23, 1999 to the Atlus Faithful mailing list, in which it says "Absolutely no new games releasing today in Japan" and "looks like there really isn't anything out in Japan this week to talk about." when P2:IS was originally released in Japan on that date.

The other new character designs look a little...off. There's not much you can do when you're adding stuff in a decade later, but it's still a bit jarring. The lady with Tatsuya especially.

Save the dancer woman right away, then view the cutscene where they all look at destroyed Tokyo right away. If you do it right, you'll save him instead of him dying in the cutscene.

Does anyone if all the Persona PSP remakes (excluding 4 of course) are possible to play on the Vita, or will be in the future? I am extremely tempted to buy one if I could play every Persona game on it.
