There's definitely a number of Personas in 4 that aren't in 3 or 5, but a lot of them are low-level chaff without much notability. Like, uh... Cu Sith.

Once you get to the high levels the rosters tend to standardize. On the other hand, Kaguya is probably the best Persona design, full stop, so there's that.

Also, if you mean "fully unique to P4", there aren't a lot of those, P4 heavily reused assets from Nocturne, just like P3. But on review here are a few highish-level Personas that aren't in 3 or 5: Tzitzimitl, Pabilsag, Hachiman.

Though I doubt they'd add those anyway, because why add a Persona to that challenge fight that isn't already in P5? You're just creating more work for yourself and people are gonna complain he has a Persona they can't use.

Nah, I didn't mean not reused in SMT poo poo, asset reuse is beautiful and part of the fun. In a way it is crushing to me to see demons get redesigns since it means saying goodbye to desperately uprezzed PS2 models. Tzizimitl / Pabilsag / Hachiman is exactly what I wanted to know .

Yeah, that's fair, I'm thinking more in terms of 'what is meaningful to Persona 4 man.' Besides Izanagi, it's all maxed out social links from Dojima Sr and Nanako, Marie, and uh, Shu Nakajima. Now I can respect Marie from a distance and accept that his relationship with the Dojimas is important to him, but I think there is more to P4san than that. Just one representing the IT would be enough, really. At the end of the day the focus is on the gameplay and the themes are profoundly secondary in this silly bonus mode, I get it, but they cared enough to pick specific max SLs.

They're kind of stuck anyway because most if not all of 4's arcana capstone Personas are already in P5R, but I agree that the selection's a little funky even disregarding that. You have Yoshitsune, famously the most broken Persona from 4, and Kaguya, who represents Golden, but it definitely doesn't feel all that representative of 4 itself.

Probably doesn't help that P4's team use all Japanese-based Personas, which is also the pool that Personas in general most commonly take from and re-use. By contrast, P3 uses Greek gods, which Persona does use but not nearly to the same frequency.

Checks out. Back in 2016 I was working at a hospital that had its systems taken down by the WannaCry ransomware ... because the printers were running unpatched Windows XP. We had to patch everything manually - and I know I actually found a computer running Vista. (To be fair to that piece of junk it was not connected to the net and not upgraded because it couldn't run some necessary software for a piece of medical kit on anything newer than Vista).

Finally finished reload earlier today, took forever since I don’t have a lot of free time these days. I’m always a little sad finishing 4 and 5, with the protagonist having to move away from all their new friends but it’s still nice and hopeful. This one was just :smith: . I enjoyed the hell out of the game, but probably won’t replay it for a while.

so just checking, social rank points dont carry over to the next rank, right? so if theres an up!!! icon for a confidant, theres no point in getting an affinity reading from chihaya for that character?

I don't know if this was changed for 5, but in 4/4g, you only unlock a rank up (! Icon) when you have enough points, so gaining more points would not be useful.

But, the points you gain during that rank up contribute to the next rank up, so unless you are going from rank 9 to rank 10, an affinity reading and a matching arcana persona (and school exam results if it's a school friend) would help you.

Those were added in Fes and an excuse to see interactions with the characters that didn't involve the protagonist.

It’s a nice idea to see Junpei and Mitsuru interact and to reveal that Shinjiro has a soft side.

Everything else wasn’t really needed. Though Yukari imitating Junpei is kinda funny.

They at least dropped the uh, intensity of the Fuuka slimming pad scene at least?

I mean, the whole "everyone has 'security cameras' in their room for Ikutsuki and Mitsuru to look in on at their leisure" aspect is creepy, but in a way that makes sense for how SEES is portrayed. I take more issue with the boys getting scenes that are funny or touching and expand on their characters, while the girls' scenes are all horny.

The weird thing is how Ikutsuki has a scene of his own, and it’s such a bad scene.

It varies depending on the game but there's QoL stuff, model swaps, and then really aspiration stuff like FeMC Persona 5 mod and Gay Joker mod as I linked above here.

And her name is VINO. Sadly she's a 'phantom idol' (their gacha system) which means she's not necessarily like that, it's like extrapolating how a confidant or person Wonder knows would act if they were a Phantom Thief.

drat, I'm replaying p3r on xbox game pass and for NG+ I was just using the same save slot over and over. Apparently something happened because now that save is gone and it put me 20 hours back in the past. I guess I'm done playing...........

Try doing a console restart, mine suddenly decided it had lost all my save games once and I think that's what fixed it.
