I am aware of what the hands look like. I did my best. :(
Dojima wasn't voiced by JYB so that theory just makes no sense.

Every character should be voiced by him so you can't tell what to expect. Or who is talking.

Can someone hit me up with suggestions on what SMT games are worth playing?

I've played and loved p3 and p4, and I played Devil Survivor 1 and SMT4 as well and thought they were pretty good. Never played any of the others. I have access to all consoles except PSP and Vita.

I was thinking I'd try out Digital Devil Saga and Nocturne maybe? Is Devil Summoner 2 better than those?

Devil Survivor 2 will (probably) be released for the 3DS soon again. I would play P3P and P4G if you haven't yet if you have a Vita ofc.

I couldn't get into DDS but Nocturne can be Nintendo hard for some parts. I liked DS2 more than the other former games but YMMV.

Beef Waifu posted:

Yeah and like every new Persona game, it gets silly and laughable when it tries to get dark because it doesn't do it well.

DS1 & 2 has some nightmare fuel now that I think about it more :banjo:

They both feature dark rituals and wow, it's creepy even for a M game.

I legit like Soul Hackers and Persona 1, I can understand the dislike for them but unlike, oh, Strange Journey, they have their ridiculous dungeon design coupled with fun battles. Persona 2 is really good regardless of your tolerance for old school design, as it evolves P1's formula with some more modern sensibilities, plus you can save anywhere so the dungeons are much less annoying.

I've got a day left in this Persona 3 run. What's the best way to fuse Alilat? I need something that doesn't involve Orpheus Telos or Metatron, because I have no way of getting those.

Thankee kindly.
Asura (Sun) x Susano-O (Fool) will work, as will Asura x Ananta/Atavaka (Aeon). The former requires 12 Personas though, unless you already have them saved in the Compendium.

I had Susano-O, and... yeah making Asura was a total pain in the rear end. Looks as if it'll be worth it though, Asura looks useful.

I'm still hoping Pharos makes an appearance in Persona Q so we'll have three people in this game voiced by Yuri Lowenthal.

I don't even know if Persona Q has voice acting for sure, but yes I need 3x the Yuri.

DS2 should release in US spring-summer I figure. Good luck to Europe though. DDS was pretty darn cool, so was Raidou 2. Nocturne is hard, but I don't think it's Nintendo hard if you are methodical about demon fusion.

I really liked Soul Hackers re-release on 3DS, but I really don't think P1 aged well at all. Soul Hackers are actually fun and P1 is tedious. Strange Journey gets annoying as poo poo toward last 1/3 of the game due to dungeon design. Battles are fine. I'd love SJ 3DS remake with redone dungeons.

P2 was good, but it still annoys the hell out of me with the whole PSP/PS1 situation with the split parts. Gah... I do have the Japanese PSP copy but haven't had PSP for years. Hmm... is there an english patch for P2EP?

In Europe there's no way to play the 2nd half, the PS1 version is not on the PSN.

I mean with PS1 games it's not a huge deal. There's so many ways to play games cross-region or with fan patches and that sort of thing.

Also if you want to wait:

These guys are working on patching the Japanese PSP version.

That said I have had Innocent Sin for years and never got past the first couple of hours. I need to get back into it but man the battles bored me, especially coming from other SMT games which have pretty good battle systems.

Sure there is. You can just make an American account and buy a US PSN code off Amazon or wherever.

Can also import PSX copy, rip it and play it through Emu. It is a bit pricey though. I snagged a copy fairly cheaply around a year ago but I got lucky on ebay.

It was supposed to come out this Winter in Japan, but it was delayed. They announced it during the anime teaser at TGS.

I bet the PS4 version is why it got pushed back. Wonder when they decided to have a PS4 version, since until TGS it was always just assumed to be PS3 exclusive.

Sales and marketing. It's a much easier sell generally if it's cross gen. We're at the point where lots of people won't consider buying last gen games at this point. (Not that I actually think that's true of Persona, given its fanbase, but still.) Plus, Sony probably wanted another "PS4 Exclusive".

yeah odds are there was a sony rep who said 'we'll give you a few bucks extra to cover costs and some incentive to cross plat on this for ps4'

i'm glad it got announced for ps4 but by now i'd hope we'd have a name for main character and some little tidbits and teases of info
