Oxxidation posted:oh man those trumpets in the iwatodai track are way too flat and way too far forward in the mix They sound really bad, yeah. The part around 0:45 in particular sounds loving awful, what were they thinking? At least Unavoidable Battle sounds pretty decent. edit: I think the main issue with the new Mass Destruction female vocals is that she's enunciating the words too clearly. And she goes "baybee" instead of "baybay." edit2: It's criminal that the new Iwatodai dorm music no longer has the "COME ON GIRR LET ME ROCK YOUR WORRRLD" Ytlaya fucked around with this message at 08:03 on Jan 7, 2024 |

Junpei posted:yall are masochists you know that Seriously Not having direct control of party members was an interesting thematic idea, but it had the rather severe drawback of sucking totally and completely. It fights against any attempt to have tactics or meaningful decisions in combat. There’s no real reason to try and rehabilitate it. If you’re going to soften it or make it less stringent, you might as well just remove it (or at least make it optional), so it’s not surprising that Atlus did so.

the game really isn't that hard. There's nothing wrong with the option of having direct control or AI for people who want it. No need to overreact.

I get the IDEA behind new Mass Destruction being a bit more low-key and ominous as it's the new ambushed encounter, but the frogs are pretty bad either way. And honestly, getting ambushed is so rare in this series that I won't necessarily get too sick of this one. I do like the new battle theme though- that does go pretty hard!

i think the trumpets are the problem with like, almost the entire soundtrack and every new song or new version of a song's quality drops directly proportional to how much it uses the trumpets. they sound like the resident evil clown fart basement trumpets. Iwatodai is all trumpets so it's a complete trashfire, Mass Destruction has some so it's mediocre, Unavoidable Battle doesn't really use them so it's totally fine. in this context the fact that full moon full life has like, exactly one trumpet toot in it has become extremely funny to me

The trumpets aren't very good but It's Going Down Now is pretty good and it has trumpets, so I dunno about that theory. Also it's not just the trumpets, I definitely have some problems with some of the guitar in Unavoidable Battle (as well as the drums, of all things). e: listening to It's Going Down Now again, I'm starting to recognize the hallmarks of an Atsushi Kitajoh-rear end track. Parts of it sound straight out of Persona Q. Arist fucked around with this message at 19:21 on Jan 9, 2024 |

Non-trumpet stuff has some issues here and there but they're mostly minor enough that I'll get used to them, and they aren't uniform. yeah, the guitar in UB definitely isn't as good as it was in the original but it's not actively offending my ears. The trumpets were really core to a lot of tracks in the original, though, and the key point is that they are uniformly terrible. Like, I can't find a reload song with good or even passable trumpets. They're all bad enough to seriously mess with the song.

The vocals in the new Iwatodai dorm are also pretty bad (and also changed lyrics for some weird reason). And to a lesser extent the new Mass Destruction vocals.

If the other personas on pc are anything to go by, replacing the music won’t be too rough. And in like three years there will be a full P3P mod so we can play as the true protagonist.

^^^ At least if it's 5R you don't really need to worry about it, since you'll have more than enough money to freely resummon from the compendium (and the compendium removes any risk of permanently losing a good persona).Arist posted:It's really not. The only game in modern Persona that hasn't done this style of main menu is, well, Persona 3 (and 4 Golden, kind of) Yeah, I was going to comment on it being like Persona 5, but I completely forgot that Persona 4 did the exact same thing (it actually resembles that a bit more than 5 IMO).

Item Getter posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKaeAFqaO08 That's the style they've gone for for a bit, it allows for the illusion of a crowd while making it easy to spot anyone actually relevant. (And is probably way less taxing in development terms.) I liked Tokyo Mirage Session's weird multicolored look the best.

At level 50 they start costing about 100k.

It's so weird seeing a remake for one of my favorite games and thinking "I would do basically everything different, if I were in charge" Or more pessimistically, "I don't like it"

Meowywitch posted:It's so weird seeing a remake for one of my favorite games and thinking "I would do basically everything different, if I were in charge" honestly it's a bit surprising to me that that this hasn't happened to you before by now, they have made a lot of remakes in the past few years and many of them have been either actually bad or at the very least different enough to annoy people who really liked the originals. As far as this one goes: I have to see what they do to the story, because there are certain changes I'm afraid they might make and some of them would be downright unforgivable. Everything I've seen from the gameplay has been either fine or, at worst, understandable(fatigue was always getting cut, thematic or not). The music is extremely hit or miss but I'm playing on PC anyway so that's a day 1 mod for the worst offenders. Story changes are going to be make or break.

P3 is one of my fav games ever and I think it looks pretty good outside the music covers being kinda whatever. The original music is good so that balances it out for me.

A lot of my biggest problems with Persona 3 are structural so I don't find it terribly likely that Reload could even attempt to address them. There's a part of me that does want to play it, but that's mostly out of curiosity rather than any genuine excitement.

I can't think of any actual super meters that just call their super meters 'super meter'. And I think Limit break is exclusively a Final Fantasy thing (and even then not all that often.)
