Wait, seriously? I'm almost done downloading the game, and there's an hour and twenty minutes before the gameplay kicks in? I'm all for a good story, but that seems a bit excessive for a portable game.

There's a cutscene skip feature, don't worry.

I'm on level 35 and in Void Quest, how the hell are you in your 70's. I didn't even max out a social link yet.

Jesus Christ, the translation on this game is awesome. I lost it over the whole beach segment and telling Kanji to find a white sea shell, and I actually laughed out loud in crowded train over Operation Babe Hunt 2's Deliverance reference.gently caress the game has taken a few cues from some of the better Western RPGs out there over Social Link Nonsense now The fireworks festival actually referenced who I was dating and with voice acting. I hope Persona 5 follows in it's footsteps and with something other than it's dating sim elements.

The only problem with telling him to do that is that it's not telling him he's a man, let 'em dangle :colbert:

Do you get the "We can't do that, it's way too sexy response"?!

I thought not.

Quick question, how do you get models for your room?

Moriveth posted:

No joke, I probably would romance Kanji if he was an option. I bet that would be awesome.

"Get bent, you big lug."

You'd have to have a cold black heart not to, given unlike most of the dateble female leads he's both interesting and free of creepy poo poo.

if I had a train ride or something I probably would have finished this by now.

This is literally my case. Full time job now, but with short hours and a long almost hour long commute (one way) by train. If it weren't for the insanely hand holdy and tedious opening hour I've would have beaten it by now.

I was upset that in the anime you never just bragged about that time you totally banged an older, actual nurse when you found out that he was into nurse porn.

I was upset you couldn't literally mock Yosuke by correctly claiming every girl you meet is your girlfriend when he says his standard creepy bullshit.

Nonono, Naoto's old VA was gotten for Arena, so them getting her for Golden wasn't a hard thing to predict. I'm sure Sentai recasted the VA for the anime because of some sort of issue, otherwise they'd have just outright gotten her in it instead of getting McGlynn to do the voice. I'm just kinda lamenting on how I'll only hear McGlynn's Naoto in the anime rather than the actual games.

I found it kinda weird they even got her again in the first place. She's only done the Persona 4 games and nothing else, not even it's anime adaptation. Guess she doesn't like cartoons or just anime. Or maybe is a translator they used because they were shorthanded.

I hate the friendship/dating mechinac in female social links. I'm accidentally dating Rise now, because holy gently caress not dating her means you stand there like an rear end in a top hat while she's crying her eyes out and asking for a hug. Sure "friendship"

Yeah, honestly I think more of them could have benefitted from having multiple flags for it like Naoto does.

From a mechanical standpoint, her's is the best and should be the model in Persona 5 of how to handle dating in social links. It actually greatly reduces creepy crap in these romance subplots inherent in games in general and in Persona's Social Links "help them with their mental issues to max out friendship/date them" specifically.

What if, romance plays like normal but on Rank 10 when they go to your room, they find your copy of Witch Detective and the link instantly breaks because they can never look at you in the same light ever again?

I really need to read the himisday comic, because I feel like I missed out on a big joke here since it was just anime twilight in the game but something else in that comic. This is like the twelfth time someone's mentioned that or 'fsteak'.

Holy poo poo, end game spoilers.I was literally going to make a joke post about Adachi cheering you on in the True End by him saying 'you're going to die at the hands of a bitch!?!' and then it turned out that's what literally happened. Your friends stay there and cheer you on, Adachi goes a MRA rant while laughing at you. Awesome.

Two questions since I'm almost done with P4:

2. Is Persona 3 different enough story wise that I wouldn't feel like I'm rehashing the same plot over again ?

gently caress yeah it's different. It's more Lovecraftian jRPG horror to this Anime Murder Mystery game.

They're absolutely drunk, but through the magic of narrative we can make up something about atmosphere and not get in trouble from the ESRB

It's already rated M...for almost no other reason than language...I think they could have done that and not get an A

Don't forget that there is (theoretically) one more rating above M

There was no chance of them getting an A on this game. It is astounding Persona even got an M and is proof along with Mass Effect that a rating between T and M needs to be made. Maybe OT or something.

Anime Dojima is a really, really lovely dad.

Nope, you don't run off to work when your kid is sick. Ever. The leaving a 6 year old home alone is already pretty bad, but it's anime understandable.

I hate saying this, but that's typical father behavior in Japan. There is no way in hell if you have a wife, that if you can call in sick because your child is ill. Sexist as hell, but that's the breaks. That scene is supposed to show how much in denial Dojima is over his wife's death even now. As a widowed father, he'd sure as get the time off, but he hasn't excepted his situation yet
