Just got SMT IV this weekend and it's been kicking my rear end. Any advice for Minotaur?

Alright. Any recommendations for what I should dump my stats into? I've mainly been prioritizing Strength.

Man, I'm almost scared to use most of my App points because there are so many options. I think I'm going to get the next skill slot upgrade for my demons, but I still haven't gotten most of the negotiation options other than Demolingual and the one that gives you Macca for recruiting.

Of all Atlus series Persona is the one you have the least to worry about in terms of anyone making changes to it.

Yeah, it's their best performer in the States, which means it'll still get localized. The question is just whether or not Atlus USA gets dissolved in favor of Sega's existing localization teams.

Man, considering that Persona 3 is near-plotless for a decent percent of the game, how are they going to pace that movie?

Also yeah, super bummed that the superior protagonist isn't anywhere to be seen. :smith:

It's the kid from Trinity Soul. That concert featured music from P3&4 and TS. Not too much of a fan of it myself, the version of Deep Breath, Deep Breath is bland as hell.


Not having played P3P, what's so cool about her? I keep hearing people say she's the better protag, but no one really elaborates.

She has much better Social Links, as opposing to the male protagonist's, which usually have you enabling a terrible person's weird personality defects. She also has a genuine, fun personality shown through her dialogue choices as opposed to the nothing her male counterpart offers.

Also she's best bros with Junpei so she's automatically the greatest. :colbert:

I think changing the character designer for their most popular spinoff at the height of its popularity would be kind of dumb.

Kaneko is fine, but his styles don't really gel with the newer Personas for me.

It would also really mess with the character dynamics because unlike in P3, P4's characters are pretty good friends.

I feel like people who make the "Naoto is trans" argument tend to ignore the role that her age plays in her self-perception, and focus on the literal intentions of her Shadow while ignoring the larger, stated theme of her need to be taken seriously in a field that already has plenty of excuses to discount her.

I know people who assert it's completely unambiguous that she's trans, and that Kanji is also gay, but I feel like they're missing large parts of what makes those characters interesting by focusing entirely on their sexuality.

Arist

I don't like doing that because it feels like I'm making fun of Kanji, but I do it anyway because it freaks out Yosuke.

As someone who always hated the dumb robot girls thing, especially when it crossed into P4 by way of Arena (yeah, the games were already weird, but that specific kind of weird seemed out of place to me), Labrys' accent is great and really endeared me to the character.

Shu seems like the most awful, generic rear end in a top hat ever, though, and everything I'm hearing just reinforces that. Don't have high hopes for that character.

In the Japanese version, she has a Kansai accent; the Brooklyn/Jersey/whatever accent is a pretty good Americanization of that.

Ugh, this Yosuke dude is so generic anime. Dual-wielding kunai? Headphones? Spiky hair? Lame.

I don't even like Yosuke, but that comparison is nuts.

I'm still never gonna get over Sho's Persona design being basically an "evil" Izanagi.

Wonder why they didn't went with Souji Seta then. I always though that the name changing was a royalties related thing.

It kinda bums me out because I always thought Souji Seta just sounded better, but it's probably just because they've already used that name in a full anime and a fighting game (with a sequel!), so it's a bit late to change it back.

Speaking of English VA troubles, I started and finished and restarted Persona 4 Golden recently, and Final Fantasy XIII has ruined Kanji for me. All I can hear is Snow, and that is enough for me to not have him in the party unless I'm playing on mute.

I'm pretty sure I played FFXIII before Catherine too though, so I'm not sure why I wasn't bothered by Vincent at all...

This is a loving travesty because Kanji is the best character in the game. :colbert:

I'd also like to know if that's the case, because I feel like I'm leaning towards Law but have no idea how far, and I'd really like to get Neutral. I was keeping track of it for a while but the values in the guide I was using were apparently inaccurate.

Yeah, he's in the original P3 intro (and I think P3P's as well) and is the save butterfly in P4.
