>>299954>it is a shame the story sucks.I agree and disagree at the same time. The story is often very interesting or has interesting concepts and then the next scene is so retarded it cancels the positive aspects of the story. Rinse and repeat. I'm not even trying to start the dungeon where Haru joins the part yet because I'm fucking sick of Morgana and wants to punt him into the sun. I'm sick of shitty mascots, it worked well with Teddie because everything about him makes sense in the context of P4 but Morgana seems to only exist because Teddie is kind of a popular character.

The last Megaten game I played was SMT IV. I absolutely HATED the start until the major plot kicked in, and then for a while it was awesome SMT apocalyptic goodness. But after you have to choose between Jonathan and Walter, I got stuck with Lucifer and my interest completely dropped. I stopped playing shortly after the confrontation with Isabeau.
I never played Apocalypse because it looked too anime/moe even compared to IV. But I was pleasantly surprised that IV still felt like a SMT game, even looking at the designs now some of them had that Kazuma Kaneko vibe.

Hopefully this doesn't mean anything, I think they have milked P5 enough already.
It's a huge stretch, but if it ends up being real I hope it's a code for P5 theatre or something. They have just finished the P5 stage play, so they may move on with Strikers now. At least the stageplays are fun and they don't slow down the actual games development.

>>301752There are lots of people into SRPGs, but I can't keep laughing at how Atlus overshadowed their own announcement by showing P5T alongside P3RE kek How did they think it was good marketing?
I have seen a total of 4 people talking about it. I loved the PQ art, but this one looks kinda ugly imo because of the exaggerated limbs.
I’m very excited for P3RE though, it needs some polishing (hopefully they will fix that in the 6-8 months it has left to come out) and I dislike the clash between the P3-style models and P5-style portraits, but I’m pretty content with the bit we have seen. Really digging the whole water/drowning theme it has going on.
The change to pre-rendered cutscenes gives me hope that FeMC will be on it as well since replacing models and changing it a bit is way easier than animating another character.
No. 301769
>>301762Leak, it will be officially announced later today. But it’s just a teaser, my bets are that they will show a full MC-only trailer during Atlus' expo in July, and then in October they will give FeMC her own trailer.
Would be weird to not include her after all the pushing they have given her, and even though it would be on brand for Atlus to ignore half of the game, I prefer to stay positive.

>>301758>I loved the PQ art, but this one looks kinda ugly imo because of the exaggerated limbsExactly! They could have just used the PQ style but with higher quality, but then they decided to teak it into those things and it's kinda ruined. I still think we didn't need a SRPG with P5 style and the same exact story as P5 and Strikers (and the gacha shit).
P3RE looks good to me, I don't think the portraits clash that much honestly. The theme looks very cool as you said.

It's very different from her JP VA, but it fitted her very well hahah.
It surprised me they’re changing ALL the VAs though, Junpei’s was going away for sure due to being a sexual harasser, but I thought the rest would stay. I listened to bits from the new VAs and they seem fitting for the most part, the only one I got my doubts on is Akihiko.

yukari was kind of supposed to be somewhat "bitchy" though… she had no idea what really happened to cause her dad's death and her mom and her had a strained relationship. she literally doesn't trust mitsuru from the get-go due to her father owning the company her dad worked at so she has her defenses up, it's completely understandable. when she gets her ultimate persona it's because she reaches out to have a real friendship with mitsuru, she softens up and becomes kinder it's literally her character arc. coomers just self-insert into junpei when literally any self-respecting woman would be a bitch to him. moids don't fucking understand or appreciate well written female characters. that's why makotoad was such a hit for p5 faggots, she's got the personality of a string bean and seems easily manipulated because she kinda fucking is.
i miss the soul of the earlier persona games, especially the 2 duology.
and same, i thought the kitchen scene with yukari looks cute but it's kinda odd seeing everything so clean looking and HD. to be fair i'm extremely biased in general to older graphics and retro style games anyway. if they ever touch p1 or p2 again i'd hope it'd be as close to the originals as possible and nothing fancy and shiny like this. then again i don't really like how zoomers have gotten into p2 the past years but it's because i'm selfish and dun wanna share my special niche weeb game with them.

JUN??? OMG HE LOOKS LIKE JUN!!!" on tumblr. But Yusuke only looks like Jun, Akechi's role is more similar to Jun's. Then there's Ann being Lisa 2.0 and her most direct and personal antagonist also being a deranged pedo who targeted her friend, Makoto and Sae being Tatsuya 2.0 and Katsuya 2.0 but way more boring. Honestly I think it's stupid to claim Atlus is pretending that they forgot about P1 and P2 when P5 is so inspired by P2 and P3 is basically a Snow Queen Quest sequel.

do you use japanese or english voices? my first playthrough i had english on and the battles became so fucking annoying so the 2nd time i played p5 and now with p5r i have had japanese on simply because its less annoying when i don't understand what they're saying lol.
No. 302939
>>302930>that was why we got no raidou costumes on the switch?I think so. iirc the Korean version of the SMT3 remaster doesn't have Raidou at all either which is really weird because I'm sure Dante is still an optional DLC for them so it's not like Dante replaces Raidou entirely in that case.
>do you use japanese or english voices?I started playing P5 vanilla at a guy's place (a friend of a friend) and he was retarded so he didn't believe me when I said he could download a patch for free to get the Japanese voice acting until I was 20h into the game. He accidentally deleted my save file so I beat Madarame and did some stuff after that almost only in English and it sounded so fucking bad. Thank god I didn't reach the arc where Futaba is introduced because her American voice actress said she made her sound like she's autistic on purpose because that's her headcanon iirc. The same voice actress who made Asahi in SMT4A sound way too fucking annoying despite Asahi being a great character imo.
I'm in the middle of P5R right now and I'm playing it with a French translation and with the Japanese voice acting and it's so much better. Ryuji sounded stupid and childish in English, and now in Japanese and French he actually sounds like a troublemaker who ACTUALLY swears every five seconds. Even Morgana swears once or twice to insult him which is funny as fuck. It's insane how obsessed with censorship and making games family friendly American localizers are. Hearing Ryuji saying "effing" out loud instead of "fuck" and "fucking" all the time in a game where the first story is explicitly about a pedophile assaulting his teenage students was super weird like. What a strange sense of priority. It's not exactly a family friendly game and late teenagers, who are parts of the target demographic, swear way more than that irl.

>>302939>and now in Japanese and French Ryuji actually sounds like a troublemaker who ACTUALLY swears every five secondsNTA but I'm glad to hear he swears like a sailor in French too, I'm playing P5R in Spanish and they translated him the same way. I dunno if the EU localization is better or worse than the US one since my JP level is akin to a preschooler, but at least I’m glad that for P5R they didn’t fully follow the English one and actually made the characters talk normally. I’m enjoying the game much more thanks to the new translation, ENG was so stale.
In the other hand, the EU translations for P3P, P4G and P4U suck so much because they made a direct translation from ENG and called it a day (they didn’t even bother to check the JP scrip, the ENG P4U translation is butchered and the same mistakes are present in the EU one). Also in ESP, for the female route in P3P they didn’t even change the male gendered adjectives/nouns towards her most of the time lmao.

I just saw P2:IS fanart on Twitter that had over 1k likes… I miss when I was 13 and it was a game that only autists on /v/ knew about. Now the fandom has more of a female fanbase which would be amazing if most of them weren't gendies and/or fujoshis. I was talking on Twitter with another woman who's into the series and she said the only reason she played it was because you could romance Jun and she loves kweer representation.
I feel like a lot of modern P2 fans are like that, as well as forcing gendie shit onto random characters whilst ignoring 99% of their actual characterization (as well as the plot). Sorry for my autistic ranting nonnas… I think I need to just stick to mainline SMT.

I’m finishing P5R right now (just started the 3rd semester) and ugh, I don’t even know if I want P6 anymore. I played this series in release order since the PSP versions of P1-3 are awfully easy to pirate, I loved P1-2, P3 is the weird middle child (but I ended up loving it thanks to all its supplementary media), but P4-5 were unbearable for me.
Specially P5, it just drags itself for 130 hours with content that barely has substance, the characters lose all their personality and just become a static anime trope after their arcs that last like 5 minutes, and the game itself seems like it’s too scared to actually make any social commentary in case it offends anyone. I just hope this very last arc is at least mildly interesting. And P4 wasn't much better, but at least the story was a bit more entertaining
until they blamed it all on a godFrom what I know, the head writer for Persona changed (he was the one who wrote the 3rd semester and P5S, I think? But since I haven’t played these yet I can’t comment on the quality) so that gives me a bit of hope, but if P6 decides to follow P5’s footsteps and ends up being another +100h game with a stale story I’m calling it a day and just stick to P1-3.
>>305346Yeah, all Google pulls up nowadays are AI-generated articles made to rank high on SEO unfortunately . I usually use these search engines if I want to find old/obscure pages
https://www.oldavista.com/ - Where I found that P2 site, it searchs for archives of defunct websites.
https://www.marginalia.nu/ - It searches for sites that are still up but badly optimised for current-day web standards, personal sites, and similar.
https://wiby.me/ - I don't use this one much, but it exists as well.
Neither of them are fully optimized, so they miss lots of potential results and such, but they can be a good start

>>305554Totally agree. I played P5 when I was a teenager and didn't really like anyone, now that I'm playing Royal as an adult for whatever reason I started liking Ryuji, Ann and Yusuke a lot more. Especially Ann. Still dislike Makoto though. She really does ruin the dynamic, I hate how she's written. It's a shame because I think she had the potential to be a better character. I think her feelings of uselessness, how she feels pressured by and like a leech on her sister but there's only so much she can do as a student, how she impulsively tries to prove that she's not useless etc are very fitting of a character her age, but she turns into a complete Mary Sue after that. Feels very forced. She makes me think of a worse

i would bet that's where her out of nowhere "omg im so useless (sad face)" comes from, leftovers from Hifumi's character arc.

Hifumi is a badass shogi player, elegant, beautiful, and well-read. Makoto is just one of those idiots who has no interests and can regurgitate information robotically on an exam.

I remember reading a fan translation some time ago, but it was only one of the volumes if I recall correctly.

P3 Thanatos because he's hot, but I wish Caladrius appeared in more games, they're super cute.
IV was my intro to SMT as a whole and my favorite thing about it was how varied the demon designs were, ranging from cute pets to hyper-designed monsters, there's pretty much a demon for everyone.

>>311328God, Mermaid infuriates me so much, specially as someone who loves mermaids, her concept art shows more mature designs but of course they had to pick the one that looks like a half-naked child. I don't mind coomer designs, but I wish they at least didn't look like kids.

There's an artist I follow on twitter who does gorgeous SMT fanart. She mostly focuses on SMT2, and likes to draw yaoi stuff of Aleph and other characters.

I love her so much and the remake is going to ignore her… she made P3 so much fun for me… Atlus, you've spurned me yet again…

nonnie, feel like they cut her out cos you can romance the men for once but you didn't get many good options.

>>311350She's awesome, thanks for the rec anon. Most of the SMT artists I follow focus on SMT3, nice to see some 2 appreciation.

>>311362If anything they cut her off because there's one (two if you count Elizabeth) same-sex romance route if you play as FeMC, I don't think dating men as a woman is a problem to them.
Though the most likely reason they're remaking just the main male route its because RE is just a test on how to use UE on Persona games, they said RE is here to mark a new era for the series, so they just want to get out there the bare minimum to make P-studio get used to the engine and the new director/composer. I wouldn't be surprised if later they release a complete remake edition with FeMC and/or The Answer.
That said I wish they could cater to the female fans more, specially when the majority of the fandom and the ones who do the most fanwork/free advertising are female in Japan.

We got a few Atlus announcements at WonFes: Qset+ of P3-5 and 13 Sentinels, along with the prototype of the Joker Nendoll.
No idea of what's Qset+, but from what I saw the normal Qset are just 7-9cm tall chibi figures in the 2-3k yen range. I wonder if the + ones will have extra accessories or faceplates. Not too impressive but they’re cute, I wish they had included FeMC though…
