It’s honestly loving me up hearing the P4 cast call each other by their family names in Cross Tag

Yeah that's throwing me off. They never did that in other P4 dubbed material. This is clearly a translator who isn't referencing previous works.

Strange Journey Redux is out in the US. I've heard this game is pretty rough so I'm excited to see for myself.

Tsukasa Masuko is working on a new game: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/642344002/japanese-rpg-legends-team-up-new-dark-fantasy-game?ref=thanks_tweet Last time I spoke to him before they started the project, he was hoping Atlus would call him for the series anniversary, but he's gonna be pretty much fully dedicated to this project for now. The synth VSTs he'll be using are M-1, CZ-5000, Juno 106, DX7 and U-220. He wanted to go with physical synths, but he doesn't have the time or space to get all his stuff sorted. I'm just glad he's doing something, so I just backed the game.

Everyone's last names are kinda important in P4 I guess, except Yu and Chie. Yosuke's family owns Junes, Yukiko's has the inn, Kanji's has the textiles store, and Rise/Naoto's are decently famous. It's weirder in P3, where the only name that's important is Kirijo.

Not much excitement for Strange Journey redux? The original was a bit too much of a bland old-school dungeon crawl for me. I'm convinced Atlus holds improvements for a console increment so that nothing can be an expansion pack or add-on. Remember those?

Expect My Mom posted:Please this is a persona megathread, its not relevant It's pretty good. Most of it is is left intact from the DS original, it's kind of weird seeing larger portraits for incidental characters and the rest of your ship's staff. I may be misremembering but a lot of them didn't even have much beyond a unique name in the original and now they all have big unique names and faces and sometimes voices. Gameplay wise, it's SMT but it's making me remember how much I miss press turn. It's a good, grindy dungeon crawl but it's also unmistakenly a handheld spinoff, kinda like the Donkey Kong Land to Apocalypse's Donkey Kong Country. good day for a bris fucked around with this message at 14:01 on May 16, 2018 |

Mordecai posted:Not much excitement for Strange Journey redux? The original was a bit too much of a bland old-school dungeon crawl for me. I mean, it was already not that popular of a game, and then you add on how Atlus USA is largely pretending it doesn't exist, so you end up with a lot of people not even realizing it exists.

To be fair the 3ds is in a weird place where it's not dead but its noticeably at the end of its lifecycle. Even Nintendo announced games are mostly just ports as it moves its franchises to the switch

There was a lot Japanese fanart of people drawing all the Red Sprite NPCs based off their tiny sprites and that's cool

Yeah, everyone with a name had a unique sprite and actual personality (some had more personality than Zelenin and Jimenez, even, because SJ is not very well written) which made that possible, semi-common and it owned

What are the issues with OG Strange Journey? Based on my limited experience I like grindy dungeon crawlers and I've always been really intrigued by the box art it has.

DisDisDis posted:What are the issues with OG Strange Journey? Based on my limited experience I like grindy dungeon crawlers and I've always been really intrigued by the box art it has. Some areas have like three different pocket dimensions layered on top of one other you have to traverse to get from Point A to Point B. There are multiple, giant, sprawling teleporter mazes. It's one of those SMT games where if you do a full kaja/kunda, bosses will go berserk and possibly one-shot you. The game kind of peaks in Sector Bootes.

You definitely can do vocal tracks on the DS (just look at TWEWY) it's just that even beyond the style the music wasn't very good.

I'm digging Strange Journey, its got the sci-fi niche from it and the battle system is still complex enough to enjoy. Given I feel its better adjusted than Squares rpg's.

I have to give SJ credit because the Law/Chaos routes almost managed to be sensible. At least until they drop insane “oh yeah, there’s a catch with this” moments in each that only come up after you get tricked and locked into the route (this is why I will forever hate Mastema no matter what game he appears in). But there is some side quest glitch that allowed you to infinitely alter alignment points before you got locked in... I wonder if Redux fixed that
