Yeah I think the new battle theme is crap.

Honestly I'll probably skip P4 Golden until something else on the Vita ends up being worth buying and both get a price cut. A lot of the new things seem crammed in unnecessarily and I've seen the Endurance Run enough to really get my fix of the plot.

Am I missing something? The new battle theme sounds fine to me, I mean it's not the best thing that Atlus has produced, but it's not bad or anything.

People have a tendency to exaggerate. That's literally all, it's a fine theme.

It's different to before, therefore it is the worst thing ever. See also: Chie's VA.

Reach Out To The Truth still plays in P4G as I understand it, but only if you score a surprise attack on an enemy.

Though, on the other hand, if this is the case then it's almost like it was never changed at all. :v:

Then it's not like it's any different than Reach Out To The Truth anyway so what does it matter?

best main battle theme is probably The Fear of God from Strange Journey, imo.

Not really. I thought Wiping All Out was fine in P3P. This new one just feels flat but it's certainly not reason enough to not buy the game or anything.

I easily prefer DDS2's Battle for Survival theme. Back when Meguro loved awesome electric guitar riffs.

Battle for Survival's cool but DDS2 has better battle themes on it's own (Madness especially). I just think that Fear of God is the better "main" battle theme. DDS2 has my favorite soundtrack of the SMT games though.

"Normal Battle" is the best battle theme, though the Amala Labyrinth theme is pretty bitchin' too, but in any case Nocturne makes me wish other SMT games could have multiple themes for random encounters. "Mass Destruction", "Reach Out to the Truth", whatever, doesn't matter how good they are when you listen to them in literally every single random encounter, they get really grating.

Incidentally it blew my mind when I found out the demonic howling vocals in the Nocturne music were actually in English. Thanks random youtube person for posting lyrics!

Chie's new voice sucks because it is the most generic voice they could've gotten for who is one of the most unique characters in P4. It sucks because Erin Fitzgerald was a great choice, but the ADR director apparently decided to have her pull out her "generic anime girl" voice for this one.

That being said, Sam Riegel is as Teddie is actually pretty good, I still prefer Dave Wittenburg, but it's not like I'm going to say Sam Riegel's voice sucks because I prefer the older one.

That's because it's a team of interns doing the upgrade, while MANIAX works on SMT 4 and the rest are planning P5.

For the main character? Um... looks like Dark Vest, which requires 1x DF Bootite, 1x Wilder Fur (from Wilder Jueyuan) and 1x Beast Hoof (from Beast Katakirauwa).

Not sure if this guy's a goon, but he does a great video LP of Raidou vs the Soulless Army. Subtitles, demon introductions, editing out repetitive battles, the whole nine. Since the game costs fifty million dollars and I'm not a huge fan of SSLPs I'm slobbering all over this one.

Are you in the US? Gamestop has it for $20 and they can order it from stores quite a distance away. I walked in when they were slow and asked if they could get a game from a Gamestop in Virginia (I'm in Ohio). They placed a phone call and a week later I got a call saying my game was in. No shipping or extra price. It even had the box and directions.

Looks like Atlus is doing a big Persona sale on PSN this week. I already have and loved P3P, but the PS2 classics port of P3:FES for five bucks is pretty tempting. How did the PS2 classics version turn out?

Pretty good. IIRC there's some slight wonkiness but it's completely worth $5. (Although if you have P3P it's a bit iffier.)

Heck five bucks to make myself listen to that soundtrack again is worth it. Just thinking about it had me walking down the block humming to myself "ooh yeah da da da da da da da da baby baby".

Now I just need to sort out which Borderlands 2 DLC and/or Catherine I can afford with my leftover PSN credit. Thanks.

Persona 4 Arena has really gotten me pumped up about what they could do for P5. I'd actually really like it if we saw some returning cast members from 3 and 4--Naoto is in an easy position to show up elsewhere, as is Aigis and Labrys. Of course, I'd like a new cast, or at least new main characters, but the fact that now both games' storylines habe been connected makes me yearn for the super awesome cross-over adventure that surpasses both!

I hope they use a setting besides high school. I totally wouldn't mind having social links with more adults.

E: Also, I can't wait for this to be what I hear any time I take my Vita out of sleep. Got an 8GB card today, all ready for this on Tuesday. Do we know if there's anything new on the dungeon crawling side of stuff? I know about the new S-Links and the like, but another dungeon or two would be awesome.

Trophy List Spoiler:

There is a silver trophy for rescuing Marie, the new character, from her dungeon so I think there is some new stuff.

That said I can't find a comprehensive list of changes they made to the battles, specifically what the changes to teammates were. I know you can unlock a further evolution to some team Personas, and the skills people learn have been shuffled around a bit. My team on the PS2 was Chie Yukiko Yosuke, wanted to know if a Kanji Naoto Teddie team was viable or if Naoto was still useless for boss fights

Oh poo poo, P4G does come out next week, huh? Well that's convenient for me since my Vita's been lying around like a glorified paperweight. Now hopefully Atlus can make more games for the drat thing or at least a Catherine port, because that's one game I'd love to see ported to the Vita.
