I dunno, Cherami Leigh (Makoto) is a pretty big anime "standard" anime voice-actress who I've been hearing since 2011 or 2012 because Fairy Tail. I love her performances but I don't think she's special compared to other dub VAs like the P3 and P4 crew. (Although it has to be said, Liam O'Brien has improved dramatically since those mid 2000 days. You look at P3 or his early Naruto work as Gaara and it's...not great.) But thinking of Leigh and Makoto just reminds me how excited I was for Makoto. Everybody was. All sorts of talk about her being Best Girl before P5 came out. That didn't last long, at least on forums like this. I know she still does well in polls but I don't see that popularity reflected in the places I post.

I think the P4G dub is vastly superior to vanilla Persona 4. Some of the line readings/characters sound so flat. Chie in particular in Golden is much more in line with how I think the dialogue reads.

I like Makoto a lot, though I also just have a lot of affection for all of the Phantom Thieves. I think she's still my favorite Joker romance option even in Royal. Somehow it just seems right narratively to pair them, maybe just because Makoto kind of steps into a co-lead role after she joins. Harrow fucked around with this message at 07:43 on Feb 21, 2021 |

Makoto's my fav, but I think a lot of people (myself included) were let down by her extremely lame s-link. It's also kind of weird how she takes over the group once she joins. I'd probably like haru the best if she had more time to develop, and the design of her thief outfit was better.

Harrow posted:How is Persona Q2? I clearly love Persona and I also love Etrian Odyssey, but Q1 kinda lost me halfway through. I've heard Q2 is better, though? I loved it. Infinitely better writing than the first one and a killer soundtrack. Criminally underplayed.

Dr. Fishopolis posted:I loved it. Infinitely better writing than the first one and a killer soundtrack. Criminally underplayed. I agree. Q2's plot is far superior to 1's, especially the big twist regarding the new characters in 1. School festivals are also just not as resonant to me as someone who went to high school in USA, so the movie themes of 2 are much more engaging to me, especially for a spin-off.

Huh, I actually found Q1 much better than Q2. Q2's theme felt constantly hammered in each dungeon, Q1 felt more like solving pieces of a puzzle. Q2 had much better balance, but Q1 had more fun interactions in the cast and has two kinda separate routes. Also Q2's cast is way, way too bloated, and no English VAing. Both had good soundtracks though. Q2's opening theme is the standout and I like the P5's fight theme well enough, but PQ1's two regular battle themes are real earworms and I really liked Best Friends and Laser Beam.

My secret Persona Shame is that I own the 3 versions of P3, the 2 versions of P4, Persona 5 + special Japanese Collector's edition of P5 I bought when I was in Tokyo And I never played P2 for more than a couple of hours. I own it! Its on the Vita, which I pulled out the other day. It was just really old guys. It's just so different from the others; the battles aren't incredibly engaging, the story stuff is good but doesn't have the full slice-of-life of Persona 3-5, and doesn't have the "world is ending" of SMT. I really like the story and characters but always get bored.

Any chance that we get SMT V this year? Also, I am of the firm belief that Atlus does not like making money, I've never seen so many games both mainline, spin-off, and sequels locked behind archaic ways to play them. SMT1 & 2: both have good translations in emulation but nothing outside of Japan officially. SMT If...: Good luck seeing this ever SMT 3: Nocturne FEATURING DANTE FROM THE DEVIL MAY CRY SERIES: FINALLY getting a port to modern day devices. SMT 4: Locked behind the 3DS which is now effectively dead. SMT Apocalypse: Also locked behind 3DS Persona 1 PS1, and stuck on PSP for an update Persona 2: Innocent Sin - long trapped on Japanese PS1, finally redone and put on PSP BUT; Eternal Punishment, originally translated in English for PS1, but the remake, only on Japanese PSP. ((I THINK only Eternal Punishment was translated because of Hitler appearing in IS and that it dealt with adults, rather than high school students mostly summoning demons, can be wrong.)) Persona 3: Original version still only on PS2, FES: Updated game with a new dungeon that most find boring only on PS2, the mainline was eventually redone for PSP removing a bunch of walking around, and adding a new protagonist, but only on PSP still. Persona 4: No complaints they did this one right by randomly putting it on PC! Also my favorite RPG since Chrono Trigger. Persona 5: Has a version out there for the Switch in Japan, but only in Japan, (Edit: I'm a dumb idiot who smells of butt, there was no Japanese P5) and its sequel Strikers, is now out on everything but to understand the details of the story you have to play Persona 5 which is only on PS4. There's a ton of spin off games I'm missing like Strange Journey, DemiKids, Last Bible, etc. but if Atlus/Sega would just bring them over I think I'd lose my mind. I'm a huge fan of the concept of the entire series, I really want to get it more exposure but you gotta jump through a bunch of hoops if you want to play all the games.

Strange Journey is mainline. And both it and the updated version on 3DS are already officially released outside of Japan. You can even buy the 3DS version digitally. So it's easy to get for cheap during their sales, instead of paying ridiculous second-hand prices.

I'm hoping that the 25th anniversary announcements include a bunch of ports of the older games, especially to Switch and PC. At the very least it seems like a very obvious move to port P4G to Switch. What I'd love would be an English translation of Persona 2: Eternal Punishment PSP and then port the Persona 2 duology to Switch or something like that, but that seems a bit less likely than ports of versions of 3, 4, and 5.

Two notes: First, you might want to include Faith and Justice for Royal, because those don't block off progression but are good and also missable. Second, you can do Aeon through all of December in P4G. It's available literally every single day that month to facilitate that.

Something I didn't know until recently is that getting a good result in the exams not only gives you charm and some social link points, it also gives you a multiplier for all (school?) social links points until the next exam week.quote:The protagonist's performance in an exam will grant a boost to specific Confidants until the next exam week: if the protagonist scores 1st place, the multiplier will be x1.5, if top 10, it'll be x1.2. While it'd be pretty hard to ace the first exam, getting into the top 10 is easy-ish if you focus on knowledge for a little while. lunar detritus fucked around with this message at 19:01 on Feb 21, 2021 |

The P4 anime has some fun with that social link in one of the early episodes. In general the P4 anime does a great job adapting social links into episode-specific arcs, often by mashing them up so they end up interacting in ways they don't in the game.

The right description! quote:Persona 5 Royal is an expanded rerelease that features new places to visit, new activities, new characters, and an entirely new story arc that takes place after the end of the original game.

After playing Fire Emblem Three Houses, I really hope Atlus adds scenes between characters without the MC in the future. It doesn't even need to have as many ranks as the normal social links, just three or four "levels" would be enough to add a ton of characterization.
