they previously said it was coming out this month, and now it's being pushed to November

the EU release will feature no languages other than English and is digital only
why the gently caress is it taking well over a year at this point

That is really lovely, OP. I hope it all works out since it's a pretty good game.

What is it specifically about the EU market that delays things? Is it the languages, laws like Germany has or???

SMT IV doesn't have dating mechanics in it and is better for it; it's like night and day compared to the Persona series after 2 and I'm pretty sure that the protagonists in 4 would die horrible deaths in the first area of SMT IV

It's also way better than Mass Effect

i liked persona 4 because of the social 'dating' mechanics because it allowed for fun stuff outside of the typical jrpg dungeon crawl bore.

its a shame that smt4 isn't out in europe yet. i thought it was a good game, however i ultimately prefer nocturne. i do not think "smirk" is a positive addition to the battle system and i thought the intro to smt4 could have been done better.

What's the difference between the smirk thing and Press Turn

smirk just makes the game more random than it needs to be, especially when you have those AI partners who can act first and smirk the enemy for you.

i just don't think it really adds anything positive. spam the enemies weakness and you get even more extra damage and you can't be hit. it's far from the worst thing ever but it feels like a half baked mechanic

The effects of smirking include maximizing Tarukaja (boosts attack damage), boosting critical chance of physical attack to 95% and 70% for gun attack, boosting hit rate of normal attack and damage dealing skills to 100%, removing their own weakness and preventing the enemy's critical chance, boosting evasion rate to 85% for all incoming attacks but no effect on ailment inflicting chance.

smirking made the game pretty easy when i was using a dex build

How come japanese games don't get English names anymore?

This game should be called Hell Crew and we should be permanently 3 numbers behind new versions.

the game has press turn too, its just that sometimes when you do a thing that gets you a press turn (or your enemy does the opposite and hits a void or something) you get a smirk condition which makes your life way easier

That sux dudes, game is pretty awesome and I'm almost done with it. Why is it that it takes so long to localize it? I'm gonna try to play Persona 3 after this, but I don't know if it can compare, the social link stuff seems kindof annoying.
