I can't think of a witty fake-cut remark.

What did you name your character?

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 19:56:43 GMT

So I am here just wondering what name everyone gave/will be giving to their main character?

For starters, I named my character, Sonna Banana (そんなバナナ)XD.
~~Okay, I wasn't thinking straight.~~
It's an oyaji gag for the original phrase "sonna bakana" (そんなバカな), which means "NO WAIIIIIIIIII"/"IMPOSSIBLEEEEE"/"OH NOESSSSSS".
~~It's funny when they call my character Banana lol.~~

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 18:03:02 GMT

Soooo I basically just met Kanji and Naoto. Kanji's fabulous shadow appeared on TV, yadda yadda.. so I'm like "YAY. LET'S GO KILL IT." but everytime I try to get to the Mayonaka YV studio, Yukiko says something.. which I can really only read as being something about "Kanji-kun" since I can only read familiar names in Japanese.. haha..

My knowledge of the Japanese language is EXTREMELY limited, so I'm just wondering how I get past this? I've already wasted so many days running around trying to find Kanji and then giving up to go raise Yousuke's S.Link lol..

Also.. how do you play the fishing mini game? XD

Ending Vids

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 14:23:04 GMT

Here are links to some of the ending things I've found on GFAQs. I'm not really sure of the context for the most part.
Here's the cutscene for the bad ending: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfWXwOnWp8s In this one the MC's cousin Nanako dies and you return home sadly.
Here's the better ending, in which Nanako is saved: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ttXNQVNWlU (Naoto in a dress/skirt, hee)
In both of them the MC has to leave because he was only staying with his uncle for a year.
Lastly, a video of one of the final boss fights. To get the true ending you have to do a bonus dungeon after the regular final boss and fight a different boss. I haven't quite been able to figure out which one is in the video, but I think it's the boss of the extra dungeon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zT7wBkYctQo
If that is the final boss of the bonus dungeon, I don't know how exactly it changes the ending if it does at all. Hopefully soon there'll be more plot information about what's actually going on.

Complete Persona Portraits

Sun, 13 Jul 2008 18:42:55 GMT

Just filtering more info from GameFAQs: Portraits of all the Personas in the game have been ripped. Obviously, there are some spoilers in them.
All the info is in here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=945498&topic=44230048
And the download link is here: http://www.mediafire.com/?nijccmx0g1k

There's some really awesome stuff in there.

Persona 4 play impressions~ (some early spoilers included)

Sun, 13 Jul 2008 01:25:42 GMT

I noticed there haven't really been any impressions on the game posted on this comm - I'm assuming that's because a lot of you are busy -playing- the game. ^___^ But I though I'd toss out some of my opinions so far, for those who haven't imported it, or are just curious - also, feel free to ask any questions. I'm at around the end of May; and gameplay wise I've tackled two dungeons and two bosses.

First off, system changes, I'm sure you've heard the list of these. The ones that stood out to me, are that you no longer send your allies exploring alone in the dungeon, they are just there to back you up. By the second dungeon, they've started to call out to me while wandering if they are in need of healing. Speaking of, your allies will come out of battle with one hit point if they are knocked out during the fight. Except your Main, of course. He wields a two-handed sword (though he started with a golf club) and you can't change to a different type, like bow, or first.

Shuffle Chance has been changed around a bit, it's more like a roulette, but with multiple axis-is(?). At first I thought it was impossible, compared to how it was in P3, but you do tend to get used to it after a while, especially if you keep an eye out for 'aiming ahead of the card.' Shuffle chances are broken up into three types of cards (that I've seen) Blank cards, Persona cards, and Penalty cards. If you hit a penalty card, supposedly you can get a lot of different negative results, but the one I've been consistently afflicted with, is that you receive no money and experience for the battle you just fought. ><

In the second dungeon, Arcana chances started following shuffle. In this case, one of the major arcana is displayed before you, and if you choose to allow it, it will rotate between upright and inverse. Each card has it's own benefit, or aspect of gameplay, that it alters. Upright Tower, for example, adds a weighty sum of money onto the next couple treasure chests you open, upright Emperor makes you get the starting advantage in your next number of battles, but inverse means you suffer a 'pre-attack' each battle. Effects will either end immediately (like Hanged man, which will affect the permanent stats of your most recent persona), after a few times (like Tower) or only after you replace it with another tarot card.
I want to point out that I had Death come up once, and feeling lucky, gave it a spin. It came up upright... then it restored all my sp, dropped everyone's hp to one, and kicked me out of the dungeon. (Thanks a lot, Death-! ><)

There's a variety of voices added to battle, (and to s.links too @_@) so you won't be hearing the same lines quite so frequently, especially for things like all-out-attack. And yeah, as you raise the s-links of your party, they will do things like: push you out of the way from a near-fatal attack (lv 1) and assist you in following up a string of knock-downs (lv 3, this one is pretty cool - if you saw the clip where Chie boots the robot off the screen, that's one of them)

You can choose to command your allies (individually set) or give them the same old ai commands. But it's good to control them because of added functions like 'defend' where your 'weaknesses' are temporarily removed for that turn. (Chie, who is weak to fire, wouldn't get knocked down by an agi spell, for example)

There's not the same pressure to make it through the dungeon in one fell swoop this time, and in fact, the floors themselves are longer and more complex than the levels of Tartarus were. If you leave a dungeon with the use of an item, you can re-enter from that level. Also, you can 'go backwards' this time, as there are 'upward stairs' and 'downward stairs.' Since each dungeon has a 'timeline' you can choose when you want to pump some floors into it.

Defeating Shadows tends to give you a variety of materials, that you can then give to the local smithy who will 'forge' additional equipment for your party if you give him the right materials (it's not such a complicated matter - you can just sell everything at once and he'll usually find something to work on in the materials you brought back)

There are locked 'rare' treasure chests, which contain armor and accessories, etc. You'll occasionally find keys in regular treasure chests, otherwise, rare shadows also drop them.

----------------------------------------------------

...There are 50 quests, but I have gotten the majority of them from students around school, rather than Margaret. She says I'm not worthy to fulfill her requests (not until my intelligence is higher)
These requests are more like running around and talking to the right people so far, though I have been sent on some errands to fetch rare items too.

Your days get taken up rather fast, as you can only enter 'mayonaka tv' during the afternoon, not at night, so you really have to balance whether you will do social links or explore. And of course, weather plays it's part, as some people or part time jobs aren't open when it rains. (I've met one s.link so far by pursuing an after-school child care job)

A couple more comments about the s.links... The Strength s.link is not quite 'either Kou or Daisuke' - you will meet them both consistently while going to sports, and they hang out together quite often. Basically, the link is with the two of them, but you will become closer to the one who's sport you participate in. Whereas the Sun s.link of the activity club really is one girl or the other. (I choose the acting club ^^)

There are still quizzes, and I've had both Yousuke and Chie ask me for help in addition to being asked myself. Oh, there are five stats, by the way ^^
I've actually, rather than just s.links, had 'dialogue options' sealed because my stats weren't high enough. Particularly, not enough 'courage' to ask for the girls' phone numbers directly, and to talk back to my uncle. ^^

I've had a midterm so far, this time, you are given two questions per day, by teacher. I got them all right, and ended up in the top 10 ranking (though my intelligence was only one level higher than the default) - all the school social links, including my party, were impressed, and I was told it would be easier to advance them now.

~By the way, their homeroom teacher is an old hateful curmudgeon nicknamed 'morokin' by the class. His teeth stick out and he has an awful hair cut.

Also, while not an s.link, you are eventually allowed to watch Tanaka's Home Shopping on sunday morning. He offers two separate 'sets' per time.

You can choose to watch 'Mayonaka TV', but it only shows up when it rains at -night- (not just rainy days) and usually they instruct you to watch it when it's important. Otherwise, you can study, read books you buy (that increase stats) or, depending on what's in the fridge, eat the slightly dangerous leftovers (courage boost) or prepare a bento lunch for the next day. You will be asked questions about how to prepare the lunch though, so you can fail miserably and make a lunch that everyone hates too. You have the option of asking any of your school s.links to share said lunch with you.

Also, some s.links (mostly your 'family') are available in the evening.

They hammer this in somewhat, but you only have to worry about a possible 'murder' on days when it fogs up -after raining-. So don't freak out (like I did) about the consecutive bursts of fog that the weather tends to predict.

Oh, as for the grind, it seems to me that it's a lot easier to raise up Persona through fighting this time. Because of the ease of social links, it seemed like in P3, it was just easier to mix and match and live off the bonus xp, but you can get good results with leveling -and- with social links here.
Speaking of, Izanagi is -yes- more useful than Orpheus. But due the the lightning element affiliate, you'll want your backup persona relatively quickly.

----------------------------------------------------

...Our main character moves to Yasoinaba, staying with his uncle and young cousin for the year while his parents work overseas. The game actually starts in the velvet room, and Igor prompts you for your name, in addition to giving you a short Tarot reading.

Soon after you arrive, a female anchor is found dead, hung on a tv antenna. The police and school are slightly on edge about the incident, and the whole town is set a-talk about the murder. Meanwhile, you make friends with Chie, Yukiko, and Yousuke from your class. Yukiko is the daughter of a historic hotel and is often kept busy there with 'training' to take it over, while Yousuke also moved in from the city just last year, and his father owns the large shopping center Junes ('Everyday~ Young Life~ Ju~ne~s') that is putting all the local mom-and-pop shops out of business. Turns out he has a crush on a sempai working their part time, but she's been down recently - seems she was the first to find the body. Chie tries to cheer Yousuke up about his sempai by telling him about Mayonaka TV - if you stare at a TV that's turned off on a rainy night at 12, you'll see your 'fated person' in it. The three make a loose promise to try it out (Chie herself hasn't even done it) that evening.

Just when you think it's not going to do anything at all, you hear a voice recite the familiar 'thou art I...' speech. From the TV, you also see a frizzy haired figure that resembles Yousuke's sempai. You reach out for it, and start to get sucked in. Unfortunately, your small set isn't big enough to fit in.

Turns out Chie and Yousuke saw her too, but they express doubt when you mention being able to enter. But more importantly, an annoucement at school comes up that she was found dead, hung from an electric pole, in a manner similar to the announcer.

You piece together evidence, that someone who had tested out Mayonaka TV earlier saw the announcer woman in it, and begin to believe there's a connection between it and the murders. If you couldn't get inside your tv, maybe a bigger one would work... Chie brings up that her family is talking about buying a new tv, so they go to the overly expensive electronics section at Junes - full of large TVs, and no distracting customers.

You decide to re-try what happened last night, and low and behold you can enter the tv. You see some kind of large landscape before you, or so you tell Chie and Yousuke. But as Yousuke runs off to find a bathroom before he pees his pants from excitement - and forgetting to go earlier - he spots people coming by, and they would have a hard time explaining someone sticking halfway through a TV... The commotion and ensuing tumble sends the three of them inside and they wind up in a fog shrouded place.

There you end up finding a creepy room, that evidence would suggest is, or was based off of, the female announcers room. But it leads to a dead end. Back where you started, the group worries if they'll ever get out, until they run into Kuma. He reacts almost like a frightened animal to them, and tells them to get out, dropping some hints about 'the other people' that have been put in here recently. But quickly, Kuma kicks you out, creating a 'door' made of tv sets, and shoves you through them.

Yousuke won't be defeated though, and intent on solving what happened with his sempai, recruits you to go back in the next day with him, while Chie, who insists it's too dangerous, waits outside, holding onto a life line for them to get back with - too bad it ends up broken by some weird force after they enter...

...This is only the first few days. It picks up even more from here~
Sadly I think I write to much to cover the rest...

However, I want to say that the characters are really charming, and once you begin to learn more about them through facing their Shadow selves - at least, in my mind - they become even more sympathetic. Yousuke has a lot of charm, Chie is a lot more deep and reliable than she looks, and Yukiko is a lot easier to get along with than you'd think. (and... I have to say, for fans of Yukari/Mitsuru... Yukiko/Chie hit the 'yuri' flag about two/three hours in ^^;;) And Kuma, though he may have an annoying voice, is actually pretty cute. He's lonely, and childish, and quickly latches on to the main character, who's a lot nicer to him than Yousuke is. He calls the MC 'Sensei' do to his show of potential and awesomeness during their first sign of trouble.

...I have met Kanji, and... since this question was brought up before, he does seem to be a closet homosexual, at least. Your first meeting with him, and Naoto for that matter, drops a lot of hints. (Chie: '...We didn't think anything 'queer' was going on...!' / Kanji: 'Queer? Who's Queer!?' ^^;;;)

And for those that have heard a certain spoiler about Naoto... yeah, I can also confirm that just by the first meeting with him. Once you know, it's easy to see. But I get the feeling it will all turn out well. ^^

Also, the Kitsune is almost more of an assistant or, even half a party member, than just a social link. He'll heal you, and possible other stuff in dungeons. (Yes, your group lets him come with you into the TV ^^) Though right now he asks (or barks) an insane price for his help.... supposedly it will drop as the s.link advances.
Though as far as social links go, you have to fulfill quests for him rather than just talk and spend time. The game will start your social link with him for you, so you can't miss him.

----------------------------------------------------

...There are a lot more little additions and tweaks, more than I can name...
Honestly, I was very wary of this game. I loved P3 a lot. And at first, I was doubtful with the first hour or so. But it really rubbed off on me, and I'm really happy with it now.
It really doesn't actually feel like a rehash of P3. The minor tweaks are enough to make it fresh, and the story and theme are different, but still good.

So... wow, sorry for all that. But yeah, if anyone has any questions or want more impressions of a certain thing, ask away!

So the recent Atlus Faithful e-mail announced that Persona 4 is now available for Pre-orders, for those interested of course.
And not FULLY Persona 4-related, but they also uploaded a video of the AX Panel. For those of you who have an hour to spare :)

For the interested...

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 23:12:12 GMT

There's someone posting a video walkthrough (sort of) of the game on YouTube here.

Six videos are up so far, covering ~40 minutes of the game.

~~yes, I am desperate for spoilers, heh~~

EDIT: This is a much better video walkthrough to tide us over until December. Hopefully he'll see it through to the end.

Even More Exciting Spoilers

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 18:24:51 GMT

http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=945498&topic=44155882 Lots of new info and pics posted there, including upgraded Personae, dateable guys confirmed, and a girl that looks suspiciously like Naoto. Seems he may really be a girl after all. The upgraded Personae are a bit disappointing I think, since they seem to be mostly recolors with a few little things here and there. Naoto possibly/probably being a girl is really interesting, though. Seems the speculation may be right. I doubt it's a twin or some person that looks frighteningly similar.
Now if we can just find out if she/he actually dies...

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 03:56:50 GMT

All right, guys, I'd like a clarification, please?

I've heard rumors all over the place that Kanji is supposedly gay. Where on earth are they coming from? I can't find mention of it on this comm or on the site (though, well, I can't understand Japanese very well so that's...not really saying much). It's driving me nuts, not so much the news itself but that there's info somewhere I don't know about. Could someone please tell me what this rumor's source is? I'm pretty sure it's been flying around from before the crossdressing screenshot so it can't be from that. Help?

Thanks.

S Link Information

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 16:13:58 GMT

Grabbed some scans off 4chan, info on lots of S-Links
I uploaded them here: http://s154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/Anubimon/P4/
Margaret seems to have her own S Link, which is interesting. Naoto, however, does not seem to have one. I can't help but wonder who the two unrevealed people are. I assume Judgment and The World will probably be special again. Can't read Moonspeak at all, so no idea what the actual text says.
Also, GameFAQs has some reports coming in about the game. Some more info is here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=945498&topic=44130743

Can't wait until Friday for your copy of P4 to ship? Worry not, you can entertain yourself with this classy "peek on the girls bathing" mini-game Atlus has put up on their official website.

Speaking of which, does anyone else plan on importing Persona 4 when it comes out this week?

Persona 4 is coming to North America!

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 03:12:06 GMT

I just got an e-mail from Atlus stating that it will be out on December 9th for $39.99 each. Each one will also come with a soundtrack CD featuring select music. Seems like they're doing what they did with Persona 3, except without the artbook. >_> Anyways, this is awesome. :D

OH CRAP. Naoto could be gay.

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 11:15:10 GMT

Holy crap.

I searched Sukunahikona on Wikipedia and I got to the Mythology of Same-Sex Love:

Apparently Sukunahikona was linked to Okuninushi. What could this mean for our little capboy? Will we get special reactions when we talk to him while havin Okuninushi equipped?

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 07:40:20 GMT

I don't usually find myself on 4chan for anything, but a friend happened to be linking me to some pictures and I ended up finding this on the /v/ board..

I'm not just crazy and that IS Chihiro, right? o.o

Also, I really like that fox.. it's cute D:
