I'd recommend watching the Japanese dub, honestly, and I say that as someone who almost always watches the English one. I mean, everyone else in the crew is really good in English, Chie and Kanji in particular really work, but JYB Yu is just not nearly as funny as Namikawa's, and considering how Yu just completely steals the show, it just isn't worth it in my eyes. JYB's not bad, but he doesn't do deadpan that well. His "You suck" to Rise sounds way more mean than it's meant to be, for example. His original Adachi is also his best work in anything yet, so it's kinda sad how he had to change it up.

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'.

You can also watch it in video form!

I'm playing persona 4 on my ps2 emulator at the moment, and I'm at the fifth? or so dungeon, dungeon details:(naoto's dungeon, the secret lab) and I think it's great. I get burned out easily and don't have that much time to play games these days. Is it SO WORTH IT to get the ps vita version, that I should abandon my playthrough that I pick up about once a month and play for a couple of days? I've been on this playthrough for about a year.

Yes.

The Persona 4 Anime also added some absolutely fantastic tracks to the mix, while still using a lot of the old ones from the game.

Stuff like Alone in this world, Falling Down...

It also had a better final boss theme than the game itself: The Bond of Everyone's Souls.

Man, I forgot how loving great the Ameno-Sagiri boss fight is. Even dealing out god-like levels of damage every round, it still becomes a really harrowing struggle at the end when he just unleashes every attack he has.

Though that makes me wonder... MAJOR END GAME SPOILERS WILL SPOIL THE KILLER Um...how exactly do they pin the murders on Adachi? I mean, if there's no evidence to convict Namatame, how the hell is there somehow evidence to convict Adachi? There's even less evidence for what he did!

Continued endgame spoilers: He confesses. Not that he threw them in the TV, but that he killed them and stuck 'em up there.

So what's the deal with (class trip) the king's game scene in Escapade? Are Yukiko and Rise supposed to actually be drunk and Naoto's lines are some kind of ESRB safeguard or is it like that in the japanese too?. It's been bothering me the last few days for whatever reason.

(spoiler for the class trip and anime): Ahaha. Of course not. He's sure they're not.

Kamui Miracle is great for the Risette Trophy. It can inflict several status ailments on everyone in your party, which Rise has different lines for.

Yeah, the elevator could only go up, but the limo can get lost in the fog.

Which means the bad ending in Persona 3 is more like, uh, the cables give up and they fall to their death? I'unno.

So I have a question about some story related things mid game...
Do they ever explain why Mitsuo's Shadow just dispersed after the fight? Like, he obviously didn't face his true self afterwards but why would that make his shadow disappear?

Mitsuo doesn't have a true self. Unlike every other Shadow boss in the game, Shadow Mitsuo does not say "I am a Shadow, the true self". He just says "I'm a Shadow." Mitsuo is just a big, patethic baby who defines himself entirely through video games. That's all there is to him.

EDIT: Oh, I might have misinterpreted your question. Oh well, what the guy above me said.

Chie: Shadow Chie is the reversed Chariot, obviously. It symbolises envy, addiction, and low self-confidence; and in relationships, an abusive and controlling nature. That's the only one I know.

Teddie is a bad, bad choice for that dungeon. Have you leveled Kanji at all? You may have trouble otherwise.

His Kamui Miracle can restore all your HP and SP. Not that rare, and can help out in a pinch.

I just started November and I have like 50 hours into the game.

Am I just profoundly slow, or does a first playthrough normally take a long time?

The Giant Bomb Endurance run ended at 99 hours 59 minutes. It was magical.

Unless Atlus is feeling REALLY ballsy, there's absolutely zero chance that Persona 5 will be about things other than high school kids.

They can combine both by making the main character a teacher in a school. That way you get the best of both worlds!

You'll also be able to have social links with and date your female students. :shepface:

Use Teddie's Kamui Miracle. It can inflict loads of ailments on your party, and she has loads of different lines for that.

The chance of getting a fusion accident is directly proportional to how much you seriously need this fusion to work.

I just started playing P4G over the weekend, and I'm loving it so far. I played the original Persona when it first came out but haven't touched any SMT games since then.

A few questions:

- Persona fusion is a bit confusing. How do I decide what to fuse? I've seen charts that tell how to determine what you get, but do I just fuse whatever will give me the highest level result, or are there specific skills I should go for? Do party member Persona upgrades only come from Social Links?

- How many tries does a dungeon generally take early in the game? I just reached and defeated the knight miniboss in Yukiko's Castle in one night, then quickly ran out of HP and SP and didn't want to use up all my items. If I leave and go back in another day, do I start at the same place I left, or do I have to slog through the whole thing again?

- Does Marie ever become a party member?

Thanks!

Always be fusin'. You'll probably want some good elemental coverage, resists, and buffs/debuffs, but your other party members can fill in if you're unable to achieve that. Always be fusin'. Ignore charts. And yes, both you and your party members will become stronger if you Social Link them, so you'll wanna focus on getting them up to 10.

Of course, the less days it takes you the better, but if you really feel the need to step out then do so. You'll get a Social Link that will enable you to heal up during dungeons, but it costs a looot of Macca unless you rank it up.

She does not. You still definitely want to get her SL up to 10 for other bonuses.
