mycot posted:Wasn't the reaction to the anime being announced "well if nothing else at least we'll get a good OP out of it" and then the OP wasn't even very good. That sounds about right. The P3 and P4 anime soundtracks were great, especially when they just let Lotus Juice do whatever the hell he wanted.

Arist posted:It's faithful to the point of excess. If you've played the game, it's incredibly boring. If you haven't, you're just experiencing a worse version of the major beats that is also incredibly boring. I don't love all the changes made in the P4 anime, but that version was at least additive and offered a new take on the material in a lot of ways. P5A just has nothing to offer. Yeah, the P4 anime at least played with its stuff and had a few fun moments (integrating the "Ai fake boyfriend arc", the episode where Nanako goes full detective on Yu's million sidequesting and links). Funnily enough I checked the staff and the director is the same one that did the Carnival Phantasm OVA, Assassination Classroom and Asobi Asobase while also doing Devil Survivor 2, Danganronpa and Classroom of the Elite so my take is that the parts that worked in the Persona 4 anime were because the director seems much better at comedies than other kinds of anime (yeah I know all those anime probably have different screenwriters and such, but from a general point of direction it stands)

He is very good at comedy, and shouldn't really be pushed to do full action series. Astro Fighter Sunred was genius.

The most baffling thing is (and to stay closer to on topic), Devil Survivor 2 should have been a great fit for him, the protag has some of the absolutely goofiest dialogue choices in MegaTen and there are plenty of funny moments to contrast the darker apocalyptic parts. But for some reason the anime turned out into a meh Evangelion clone where they went full dramatic and kept killing most of the cast.

I played 5 first, and upon starting 4 and hearing Dojima call the protagonist handsome in pretty much his first line I nearly broke down in tears. Inaba's so comfy.

You get to actually live with your Anime Dad in this game instead of being shoved into an attic in some other building. More seriously, Inaba is an amazing location. It's almost a character in its own right. It has struggles, an arc it's going through, possible resolutions depending on your ending. I think even people who prefer 3 and 5 tend to say Inaba is the best location because it gets so much more focus and personality than the island or Tokyo. Coxswain Balls posted:drat Persona 5 is stressful after starting out 4 with a loving family and Yosuke and Chie as your friends. I read a billion arguments about P3 and 4 after I played them. Some folks prefer SEES because of the friction of the group. It's not an informal team of BFFs, it's a military group with cliques and deep animosity between several characters. That's all good. But when I jumped into 4 and everybody immediately loved me and Yu and Yosuke and Chie had a ton of fun banter, I think I knew right from then on I'd love the Investigation Team way more.

Huh, I enjoyed the Investigation Team quite a lot, but I never really fell for Inaba and absolutely hated the Dojima household. Not Nanako, obviously, she is perfect in every way, but Dojima and the vibes he brought. You obviously don't get to bond with Tokyo in the same way, but P5 is full of random NPCs living their lives and I appreciate them all. As for Sojiro (minor P5 spoiler) it took me like two in-game days to realize he secretly cares and is trying to look out for you with his corny tough love lectures.

I appreciate Inaba's atmosphere and vibe, and it's story arc over the course of the game is indeed compelling. As a game world, it felt a lot more limiting than even base P5, much less the expanded Tokyo in Royal. The respective households? P5 by a mile. Sojiro's tough guy act gets exposed literally within days when he loving melts over Morgana, and unlike Dojima or Zenkichi, he's not running away from his child.

The San'in region where Inaba would probably be located isn't really "nowheresville" compared to certain parts of America imo. There is population and even tourist attractions (one of which is Yomotsu Hirasaka), but San'in still spans the least 2 populated prefectures of Japan, there's one major train station with one train per hour, there are unmanned stations where it's an honor system whether you paid or not, the trains are 1-2 cars max with a single operator, IC cards mostly don't work there, strangers would come up and talk to me. It's very, very different than Tokyo and Kobe / Iwatodai, but it's still Japan.

I don't think you have to be a country person to appreciate Inaba; P4 does a very good job of making it seem cozy. I imagine it's possible to end up missing a lot of city comforts there (and you could get a little bored), but teenagers like the P4 crew would probably do fine.

ApplesandOranges posted:I don't think you have to be a country person to appreciate Inaba; P4 does a very good job of making it seem cozy. Also, because it's Japan, a decent-sized city is only a relatively short train (or moped in P4's case) ride away (in this case Okina). If someone has only lived in a place like America, it can be hard to grasp just how dense Japan is. The actual physical distance between the "countryside" and (relatively) urban areas usually isn't very far.

I once spent the summer with my uncle in the suburbs, and while I didn't especially hate it when I was there, once I finally got back home and was surrounded by tall buildings and anything I could ever want being only a few minutes away it was like waking up from a coma.

One thing I like about the smaller Japanese towns (and I'm sure this applies to a number of other countries as well) is that they're often still walk-able (and definitely bike-able, but it's also usually reasonable to walk places). In the US, you basically need a car in the vast majority of rural/suburban environments (or a willingness to spend a long time on bike).

New video about Junpei https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijU8Lt5sXfY Gonna be honest - don't like his English VA. Wasn't his original English VA some sort of sex pest or something, so now it's someone new?
