As I'm going to be stuck at a computer working until 3:00 anyway, are there any non-nico streams of the Persona announcement? There's no way I'm paying to upgrade my nico account to premium.

10AM EST is just a Midnight channel video.

The announcement isn't until 6AM EST on Sunday morning.

Ah, I thought the actual announcement was then. It would have made sense, throwing out a Midnight Channel style trailer.

Apparently, the actual announcement is going to be shown in real life on all of those screens at the specified time tomorrow.

Persona 5 - You can only summon Amaterasu if you make a pilgrimage to Ise.

I joke, but if P5 were a Vita game that could be a pretty cool mechanic. If you go to certain places you can get a free Persona intimately associated with that place. As long as either that wasn't the only way to get them, or they were just very minor ones that didn't count towards your compendium completion.

EDIT: I guess you could do it with a phone app too, even if it were a console game.

It's okay, you could go to the Parthenon to get Athena too. Greek mons. That's the real reason this could work. They draw their inspiration from such a diverse range of mythological sources that, chances are, there'd be something near you that was relevant. Assuming they did it cleverly, that is.

I could get a LOT of mons here in Mexico City :v:

But seriously, that would be a really neat idea. But I think it would work way better on a main series title or maybe on another spinoff.

Equal parts RPG and Ingress? I can see it happening before long. Nintendo's already made a start with the Playcoins thing, it's only a matter of time before someone takes it to the next level.

The Persona 3 movie came out. This should come as no surprise, but they tease part two after the credits. Did any goons in Japan go and see it? How was it?

Atlus trademarks "Deviliser", which sounds like a play "Messiah Riser" the Japanese name of the Salvation skill seen throughout the series. It's also the name of a Devil Children title, but we don't talk about that.

But no one really cares right now because they're dropping the Persona 5 bomb right here in a few hours.

I do! But a question: is there a strict time limit? I'm hoping I can dick around in the endgame and max out stuff. I just saved Rise, for what it's worth.

So the Japanese are flipping out over one of the countdown videos shown that wasn't a scheduled teaser. I have no idea what's going on but apparently this is enough to cause some concern? If anyone here knows Japanese, it'd be nice to know why they're going nuts over this.

Provided you don't get one of the bad endings in December, the last portion of the game where you can do whatever is most of January and early February. I believe February 5th is the last day to do stuff. Of course on New Game+ runs you will have much more free time because you carry over social stats, your compendium (so you can complete each dungeon in one day), money, etc.

E: I should have been clear, but this is only for Golden. In vanilla P4 the game effectively ends when you beat the December dungeon.

It's not a strict time limit and you still have plenty of time, but no, you can't just dick around in endgame and max out anything that's not levels.

The freedom to do whatever you want in P4 Vanilla ends with beating the December dungeon. But the game doesn't end there :ssh:

Then max Aeon before the end of December and get Jester up to rank 6 as early as you can.

As long as you max Aeon before completing the December dungeon, you'll get to play up to February. You also must accept when Margaret asks if you're ready around that time otherwise you'll still miss out on those two months.

Yeah after the December dungeon in golden, you get to play until February. If you want access to Feb's dungeon, make sure to max Marie's social link before you clear the Dec. dungeon.

I never not maxed out Aeon, but if you don't, what happens during the ski trip? Or is that just skipped entirely?

I asked my friend who's learning Japanese if he could figure out what that event was, and as far as he can tell, it's just a horoscope at a tent titled "the long nose fortune telling master!", give or take some grammar changing so it doesn't sound so silly. It also references Nico Nico Douga, but there didn't seem to be anything of major importance there.

Yes hello it is I Kurt's Secret Son


While P5 is of course what we are looking for, I would actually love to see Persona 3: Platinum. Basically improving on the best parts of FES and P3P (voices/FMV and chickmode, respectively) in one big package. Plus they could retcon out the Ken romance cause seriously why was that an option. It's basically my favorite game ever and I'd love to see it in full HD, even though I already own it on PS2 and PSP and PS3 via PSN Classics. While it's a million times farther of a long shot, I'd kill for Nocturne to get some attention, even if it's just hitting PSN Classics.

You just get the scenes on the slopes and the ghost story, the second day with the cabin/girlfriend/MAXIMUM BROTIME leading to the TV is just skipped.
