Did anyone else preorder this from Amazon? I'm still watching the status waiting for it to even prepare for shipping. I'm worried I won't be able to get my animes tomorrow. :ohdear:

They bumped my shipping so I canceled and reserved a copy at GameStop. I didn't want to wait until Tuesday

Not gonna lie, between this, Planet Robobot and SMT IV: A, nintendo (largely from Atlus support) is making up for what I was initially viewing as a pessimistic year. I'm not a big enough Zelda fan to be as hyped as everyone else, but this is super fun.

Hopefully Atlus goes all out and completes my year by announcing a western release date for Etrian Odyssey V

Pessimistic year from 3ds and WiiU, I'm assuming.

Should've said Nintendo in general. Meant to say it was distracting me from a not so upbeat wii u year. I think the 3DS has actually had some good stuff coming out.

I like Kiria's pirate hatsune miku outfit and the kickass mic stand. I think I read some people here not liking it.

I dont recognize Tsubasa's Atlus DLC costume. i'm going to guess that it's from something Persona since I haven't played any of those yet.

If this is anything like persona though, I'm starting to lean towards getting a PS4 or something in the future so I can play those and the back catalogue of SMT games I never checked out from their shop.

There are zero Persona games available on the PS4. Persona 5 will be the first. If you want to play Persona, your best bet is actually the Vita, as ridiculous as that sounds.

Well I do prefer handhelds. Can you download the other SMT games on that?

It's from Persona Q.

Tharja is weird but I'm okay with that.


CrashCat posted:

that was a very brave thing to admit on these forums :ohdear:

Hell, I've never owned a Sony Console. And the WiiU is the first current/first up-to-date home console that I've ever owned during its lifespan (I did inherent a 360 well after the Xbox One came out). Otherwise, I've had only nintendo handhelds since I was a kid.

I do have a 3DS so I've been able to play most of the SMT games (with the exception of Soul Hackers and Strange Journey) that came out for that.


MrAristocrates posted:


Vita:
Persona (PSP)
Persona 2: Innocent Sin (PSP)
Persona 2: Eternal Punishment (PS1, and the sequel to Innocent Sin)
Persona 3 Portable (PSP)
Persona 4 Golden
Persona 4: Dancing All Night (Warning: this is a rhythm game)

Persona 1 and 2 are pretty clunky overall, but Persona 2's got a great story. Yes, there was a PSP version of Eternal Punishment, but it never made it stateside. Don't play Persona 1. When you mention modern Persona, however, people are thinking of 3 and 4, which are very good. Note about P3P: they very heavily changed the presentation due to space constraints. In my opinion it doesn't really matter because 3 doesn't do much with its cutscenes but others feel more strongly. For these reasons (and also because I think 3 is kinda worse overall) play P3P before P4G. Also play P3P as the lady because the dude sucks.

The standouts here, especially in relation to TMS, are probably SMTIV and Persona 3 and 4. I'd snap up a cheap 3DS or Playstation TV. The 3DS is where mainline SMT lives, but if you want to play Persona, it's all on Vita, at least until 5 comes out.

e: also the Persona games are only tangentially related except IS and EP, don't worry about order.

Yeah, as I said I've got the 3DS and have loved those games. Already got SMT IV:A preordered.

Are the PS2 classics (like this one ) only playable on the PS3 and 4?

I thought most of the Playstation store stuff could be played on most of their consoles.

Is the Vita worth it? I have thought about it.

Saxophone posted:

I've never played a MST game and I've only played a few hours of a fire emblem. What's the verdict on this game? Asthetically it looks good, and I haven't played a good ol fashioned jrpg in a while.


My verdict is that it's excellent and it plays a lot like an SMT game. Very very good. Go get it.



EDIT: Nocturne is 2 ratings away from having 666 ratings. Get on it.

I'm officially super lost in the Camera dungeon.

I died a couple times to to the Chapter 2 boss on Hard Mode and wound up winning on the third try because Kiria's ad-lib went off when I was in a jam. So far I'm feeling like Hard's difficulty curve is spot on. I've yet to feel overwhelmed or overpowered. Ellie's Splatoon-looking outfit from the photoshoot on the other hand is extremely overpowered.

Just finished the 2nd boss and Touma kept doing the ad-libs and it helped a ton.

I should mention that this game finally made me get around to picking up Awakening (I'll likely get Birthright when I finish) but drat it's kicking my butt. Didn't think it would because on the other side of things, SMT IV and Noctutne came pretty easy to me.

You have to find an activation gem for every explorable area in dohlr to use the elevator.

I figured as such. I guess I can't find that specific one. Would it be sitting out in the open somewhere with the green ! Symbol floating over it or is there another way to make it show up

I beat it around 70 and I think I did a lot of the side quests. May have been quicker too but I'm a real moron when it comes to some puzzles.

At the end of the day it's definitely one of my favorite Wii u games. Easy top 5.
