I liked a lot of the music in SMT4 but none of it really surprised me too much. I just blew up Tokyo and now the music is super intense and I'm digging it. ...Should I be bothering with spoiler tags on that game as a aside?

Terper posted:Hello Persona fans. My name is Yoko Taro. I can already hear some of you saying “Who the hell is that guy?”, so I think I should introduce myself to you. I'm a game director. There's this game called “NieR Automata” from Square Enix that I'm working on and it's coming out early next year. It's target audience overlaps totally with Persona's, so I think we really dodged a bullet when they delayed NieR Automata. This is gonna sound dumb but where else is a real place in Tokyo also in P5 because I'd like to check it out while I'm still here

In SMTIV:A I went exploring for a challenge quest to some place (early game) Asakura Land. I found a boss that I then killed, and then the area completely vanished. There were a lot of demons in there I wanted to snag and farm for a bit, and luckily I had a save from just before the boss so I could revert, but how common is it for the game to just lock you out of areas like that? I don't know if I'll see another area with these certain guys around and I'd rather leave the option open to snag 'em if I need 'em (instead of buying them off the Compendium).

It's pretty common for optional sidequests, but none of the sidequest areas that disappear post-completion in SMTIV:A have demons you can't get anywhere else. Enemy spawns in there are usually just keyed to another area.

This is gonna be sad but I'm at 11 hours and I only just completed Fairy Forest because damnit trying to come up with awesome monsters with the exact skill set I want is too drat addictive.

Hard mode is pretty fun and requires that you actually grind a lot and think about your strategy/resistances. The only major difference is that all attacks do like 1.6x the damage. Also, I definitely spent at least 30 minutes in Shibuya station looking at all of the signs. I used to commute through it and all of the dumb little puns and the exact locations of everything made me smile. PS: Shibuya is easy to navigate what are you all talking about. The hard station is really Shinjuku.

I thought Japanese idols had like a three year shelf life max until they get caught smoking or out on a date and their scumbag fans decide they aren't pure and desert them OR they totally get burned out and quit for real (so what Rise did when she was 14).

If it is set in 2016, that'd put Rise at ~20 or so. That is be a bit old for the normal replaceable idols from what I understand of the culture, which would somewhat fit that poster being completely different from Kanami's one, or even Rise's previous appearances in P4-related stuff - she's moved past that phase and into more mainstream (? struggling to think of the right term) work. Sort of the difference between a child actor who faded out and left the business and one who actually became a major actor after that phase.

Sort of the difference between a child actor who faded out and left the business and one who actually became a major actor after that phase. Both these things are pretty inaccurate. Yoshino Nanjo is 32 and still doing concerts and 'idol' stuff. Mostly in relation to anime she's voice acted in, but still. AKB and other idol treadmills are really weird, but if someone just becomes a singer kind of naturally, like Rise did, there's plenty of chances to transition into a more 'mature' stage presence or to find other avenues.

Going into Apocalypse, I'm assuming Dexterity is still the king physical stat and that Dex/Magic are still equally viable?

Lunchmeat Larry posted:Going into Apocalypse, I'm assuming Dexterity is still the king physical stat and that Dex/Magic are still equally viable? Not a safe assumption. The stats seem to have been balanced better such that skills actually scale based on their respective stat. For pure physical skills my high STR guys seem to have better damage output than Dex guys with the same skill. I've seen zero data about damage formulas on Japanese sites so I could be wrong, but anecdotally Dex doesn't seem to be the king stat it was in IV this time around.

Well, that's sort of what I was getting at - though perhaps I didn't word it clearly. I didn't actually mean to say Rise had transitioned over into being a full-time actress or something - though that is certainly possible too of course. Better comparison probably would have been more along the lines of being popular and famous enough to transition into more of what the US considers major singers/idols - not a passing fad like the idol treadmills and whatnot, but an actual serious career.

Luna Was Here posted:Smt IV:a localization (spoilered for late game stuff): Atlus has acknowledged this and apologized. The reason it got overlooked was because their QA testers were literally too good at the game. It only happens when you get a dialogue when your partner is KOd, and the QA testers never ran into that situation when they were looking it over. They say that the majority of players in normal play probably won't run into this issue, they're poring over the scripts for P5 and other active localizations to make sure it doesn't happen again, and they're looking into finding a way to fix it.
