Now, now. Let's be reasonable. The game looks awesome, but there's still the possibility of pitfalls. Have the social links or the characters themselves gone down in quality? Will the new mechanics be a welcome addition or a less-fun distraction from what we love about the game? How is the pacing of the storytelling? Are there any serious problems the game has that none of us could possibly forsee?teqrevisited said:
I'd really appreciate some elaboration. Persona 2 has been sitting in my library for quite awhile and I haven't gotten around to playing it yet. How do 1 and 2 differ from 3 and 4?Someone Depressing said:
They're pretty much standard JRPGs and are a lot more like other Shin Megami Tensei games. No social link/daily life stuff. They also have all of the crazy stuff happening in the real world, as opposed to P3 and 4 having everything happening in the dark hour/TV world where only the heroes are involved.sageoftruth said:
watch, either he has a special connection to 'Death' as well, or Pharos became a real boy and grew up to be just like Minato, MC!swag and all XDSmallHatLogan said:It was a nice trailer. The 10 seconds of gameplay footage looked great. I look forward to playing it in Australia in 5 years time. Or not at all assuming it's on next gen consoles.
Aww, I'm so negative. I can't help it, all this hype turns me into Yahtzee Croshaw. I actually am looking forward to this, Persona 4 is one of my favourite games. But I just didn't find the trailer all that amazing. My initial response was "Yeah, it's a Persona game all right". Which isn't a bad thing, it's just not that exciting.
That's who he looks like! I saw the dude in the prison outfit and was thinking "I swear this guy's in another Persona game".Ikasury said:
I'm getting a P2 vibe too. Which is great since P2 had my favourite story and characters out of all the Persona games.Ikasury said:though to be honest the moment i saw those masks i was thinking 'Joker is that you?' and at the end the MC looks an aweful lot like Philomon... so yea, i'm getting a lot more P1/P2:IS/EP vibes from this then strictly P3/P4 'happy fun time'
Thanks Nocturne~!!
I've heard in a recent interview that the creative lead behind this game is thoroughly going over the entire calendar year throughout this game to make sure it feels as engaging and entertaining as possible. And even if all the new dungeon mechanics we saw in the trailer are shallow and don't add that much, the fact that they added ANYTHING at all to the dungeon crawling should make it infinitely more interesting then the rather barren layout of the previous games.sageoftruth said:
Combat is also quite a bit more complex, with combat formations playing a role, different attacks having different ranges and guns added in addition to melee and magic attacks. Then there's a dialogue system with the demons you can use to make enemies retreat, become angry or scared, give items or recruit as personas. Each character has their own dialog options that get different reactions from different demons. They mainly share some overlaying themes with the later persona entries, but otherwise feel almost completely different.SmallHatLogan said:
Sounds good. I look forward to it coming out. Still, there's no harm in giving it an extra day or two to see what other people thought of it.jhoroz said:
If I had to hanker a guess, now that guns are back into play, I'm assuming they will work much like guns do in most other SMT games, and take up a separate slot from the melee weaponsDansen said:
Nah, I'm pretty sure they're just holding out on the rest. The whole seven deadly sin themes that's constantly dropped throughout the trailer heavily implies that there might be seven party members, each one representing one of the seven deadly sins.inu-kun said:
