Oh, I am not saying that PQ is going to be terrible (pre-ordered it and P4AU), but lets not put it on any sort of a pedestal, it's going to be a pretty silly game (nothing wrong with that). DC is a great game within beat'em ups genre. Muramasa is a great action game (on Vita, not sure how it was on Wii). Now, Code of Princess is very much mediocre in that same genre. P4A and P4A U are surprisingly good fighting games in that whole 2D fighting game club. I liked P4A better then say BlazBlue.

I can't figure out what your argument is here. I don't care that PQ is a Persona game. I care that it appears to be a new dungeon crawler from the Etrian Odyssey team which has a significant chance of being a good game even if you removed the Persona license from it. How is that putting it on a pedestal? It appears like it will be a good game for people who like dungeon crawlers, whereas big beat 'em up fans will be less than impressed with Vanillaware's stuff aside from the visuals.

Apparently Metroid Prime: Hunters was decent if you got the DS thumb strap thingy. Guess who had a DS Lite that didn't come with one? (This guy.)

This is a lie. Metroid Prime: Hunters is like the definition of "there was nothing better."

It's much easier to control when you're playing it on 3DS but on a standard DS, yeah.

I got a dialog option asking Chie if she wanted to be my character's girlfriend at social link level 9. Persona 3 didn't do that, it just sort of happened.

Don't worry, they replaced that with something far more sinister in some of the other links.

You shouldn't play The Answer. Look up an LP if you want the story stuff. Play Nocturne P3 will have eased you into it's style and playing P3 and P4 back to back could easily lead to burn out.

I've basically ignored the Answer completely after finishing P3 and I've been perfectly fine. If you really want to go through the story, just youtube it or read Feinne's LP of it.

Go with P4 if you want more dating sim stuff and personas, otherwise Nocturne is more of a traditional SMT experience and is considerably harder, but it has an absolutely fantastic atmosphere and really, you can't go wrong with either.

The Answer is bad, P4 is a better P3 if you're looking for more of that kind of game. You can't go wrong with that or Nocturne, really.

A while ago I looked into this because I own both systems and was trying to decide which version to buy. From what I gathered, both versions have that problem, but especially the 3DS one. I haven't played it yet, so I can't say for sure.

A quick google search shows only the 3DS being discussed in regards to the bug. This might be ebcause you never need to actually save the game on the Vita version due to Sleep Mode. But I doubt it.

Let the fools who stand before us be destroyed by the power you and I possess.
The Vita version has an occasional crash bug (crash reports with notes that you can send in to Sony kind of rules by the way), but it doesn't outright gently caress your save like on the 3DS. Also you have three save slots. It does for some reason run at a lower frame-rate and the note taking stuff is garbage, but you also have screenshots and can quickly jump between the game and them, so :shrug:

I was worried so much in the pre release that the soundtrack was gonna suck. And I turned out dead wrong, SMTIVs got the best soundtrack since the DDS games. I only wish I had been wrong about thinking the new demon designs were going to be poo poo.

No, it's got save bugs of its own, and the Vita version is the one that crashes in the PEC room.

Except the PEC crash and save corruption is in both versions? It's just the 3DS version that it happens more in, and why Aksys deliberately removed the ability to save the game in the PEC room for the eShop release.

That's strange, because I distinctly remember around when I got it there being a lot of talk about the 3DS version being outright better because it was less bug-ridden than the Vita one; I was annoyed that I'd bought the version that was buggier.
