I wasn't too hot on Elizabeth in P3, but she's really good in PQ.

My copy came in. I now have all of my tarot cards and this bad game along with it. Fortunately the Guilty Gear demo is up so I can put it off for a bit.

My game just got in as well. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with these tarot cards, but I'm leaning towards forgetting I have them for several years then throwing them away.

Level up system being like Persona instead of EO is lame!

Audio quality is all over the place, the P3 MC and Zen in particular sound really muffled in some battle lines.

Before I go any further - do we know if the game is balanced around maining one group, or am I supposed to keep everyone leveled up equally?

So Kanji and Naoto have new voice actors, right? I'm not just crazy here?

Amazon and GameStop both have the cartridge version at $49.99 new as well. I guess Atlus figured anyone nerdy enough to buy Chibi Maze Time would be enough of a sucker to pay $10 extra. Me, for instance. Also you apparently.
They did the same thing with SMT4, but at least in that case it was only $20 if you bought fire emblem, and plus it came with a soundtrack and art book.

This time it's just, yeah persona on 3ds lets charge more

It's mega dumb that you have to physically walk on every tile to get the end of floor treasure chests.

Yeah I understand that, and the replacement is really good but it was just off enough to make me unsure. Naoto sounded way different but I hadn't played P4 in months so I wasn't entirely positive.

New Naoto sounds really weird, I'll be honest.
I really like Matthew Mercer tho.

Last anyone's checked, Naoto's old, no-name VA didn't reprise her role for P4U forward, so someone else is voicing her.

I don't own the game, but I've played the EO games... are you sure you can't just map the floor tiles?

Nope, you do in fact have to step on them. It's incredibly stupid and I have no idea why they did it that way.

That is bizarre. Why even paint in the floor tiles then? Do they show you which tiles you haven't stepped on?

If you check the chest, it'll show you which ones you haven't stepped on. Otherwise the only thing you have to go off is that the little percentage meter in the corner didn't go up.

When you touch the chest at the end it shows glowy spots of which tiles you still have to step on (although that screen goes away when you move so you have to remember)

Touching the floor chest pings the unexplored tiles on the map, and yes, as far as I can tell painting in tiles has no purpose other than to confuse yourself.

Okay, that's just dumb. What exactly were they trying to encourage through this?

EDIT: Wait, I think I got it. They want to encourage exploration, but they can't use your map progress because then you could just copy the map layout from online. So they make you step on every tile just so you don't ~cheat~. Which is still dumb but less so I guess.

Do they make you step on damage tiles? Are there damage tiles in this game?
