Dear Persona,
You managed to get Edgier than Nocturne
Congratulations!
Sincerely,
-SMT
I thought they already did with the one fighting game character
the one that was every silly edgelord trope mixed together
>shooting yourself in the head? nah
>glowy yellow eyes? now that's edgy!
>>283579297
just like every single main character before and after summoning their personae, you that never noticed
SMT, don't forget that I am you, and you are me.
>>283579297
>SMT
>Not always edgy
go away Persona 4 babby
Welcome to /v/ - Double Standards
>>283579723
we are a happy family
Now SMT literally has nothing on persona anymore.
>>283579923
Welcome to shadow teddies existential kids korner!
But do we get Dante?
>>283579625
they can't choose the weapon, but they can choose the attitude and the color of their clothes
P5 is edgefest
>>283579297
>Nocturne
>Edgy
>>283579297
Even though SMT and Persona are the same thing
hue
>>283579297
Im hyped beyond reasonable measures
>>283579995
Except on being better on every way imaginable
why is every game edgy these days? why is nintendo so based for bucking the trend? i'll never understand all the hate nintendo get's here
I give up, people just don't give a fuck what edgy actually means.
Fuck you OP.
>>283580475
Not in writing, menu style, combat, fusion system, plot, party members, orfun
>>283579297
I'll never understand why Nocturne is considered edgy
Even most of fodder the demons have a cute sense of humor
>>283579297
P3 and P4 main characters had pretty similar sequences when their personas first "awakened". This really isn't much different.
>>283580584
I actually laughed at the writing part, thanks anon
>>283580585
>Gold-digger Pixies
>Sexual predator nekomatas
>Retarded gozukis
Yeah very cute
>>283579723
God, I hate the SMT logo type. It's so hideous.
I want to get into Megaten but it doesn't look safe for Christians. Am I mistaken?
>>283580475
and by that you mean infinitely worse
>>283579297
It's probably just his shadow.
But either way, I like edgy shit. It's cringy as fuck, but it's cool in a guilty pleasure sort of way.
>>283580592
Yeah, okay
>>283580732
God in SMT is angry egotistical old testament god, it's okay to fight him.
>>283580732
You usually can kill god
But god is actually a very powerful demon
So its ok
>>283579723
NO!
YOU ARE NOT ME!
>>283580740
>>283580584
is shit taste a trend this days?
or JRPGS are this low now?
You people are retarded.
>>283580592
This
anyone who thinks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNDEmoeMfLM is anything but edgy is in some serious denial
>>283579723
Our demons aren't so different after all
>>283580986
>is shit taste a trend this days?
It must be if you're so feverishly supporting clunky bullshit.
>>283579625
>yellow eyes with blood on their face
>not edgy
>>283581095
His grin on the movie was bigger, he looked like he was having an orgasm
>Edgy
I hate this word now so much
What is wrong with embracing your inner edginess?
>>283580890
>>283580968
Sounds gnostic. He's the real deal God?
>>283581168
>clunky
I love this casual buzzword
enjoy your japanese highschool gears of war
>>283581203
if it's not edgy then what would you call it?
Just because the word is overused to hell and back doesn't mean it's always wrong.
>>283581261
>defends shitty designs that make games painful to play while adding nothing
>>283581203
it's fucking edgy man
>>283581247
I'm with you anon, as long as I'm not running around with katanas and trenchcoats, I don't mind flirting with my inner edgelord
>>283581249
the one and only YHVH bruh
if you know your shit you might enjoy it more noticing their protrayal of any angels/demons you may recognize
>>283581249
Depends
What you mean by real deal god?
>>283581298
I just dont go out of my way to classify things as edgy or not edgy
>>283579297
>>283581424
>pleb pride!
>>283581261
Damn nigga you think I'm trying to play a first person dungeon crawler in 2015? lmao maybe if this was 1985 I would be into that but its 30 years later can SMT really not evolve past the same fucking Attack, Gun, Magic, Item mechanics? keep hating on Persona for being a more interesting game while you clutch on to your outdated shit
>>283581463
well then please provide a better word then, because I'm tired of seeing edgy everywhere.
>inb4 dark
it doesn't work at all
>>283580475
Shave your neck babe
>>283581095
Fuck the haters, this shit is awesome
>SMT
>having a future at all
The fans are already starting to go nuts, /smtg/ is having group jerkoff sessions and spent hours talking about how offensive and sexist Devil Survivor's character designs are. Maybe if the games sold a little better to actually make a profit it wouldn't be like this.
What, exactly, is edgy? Anything with black as a major color theme and protagonists who are anything except "totally normal and nice/has literally no personality at all"?
Can't wait to spoil the fuck out of this game ;)
>>283581593
>faggotry
there
>>283581797
Yup. Shadow the Hedgehog is the perfect example of real edginess. It's just too much.
Donte on the other hand, is not edgy.
>>283581582
>attack gun magic item
You mean the exact same thing as fucking Persona, minus gun?
>>283581671
>/vg/
anon please. That place is an autism breeding ground. You can't expect anything from that place to represent the rest of a fanbase
>>283581818
Can't wait to not visit 4chan and not getting spoiled the fuck out of this game ;)
>>283581880
>donte is not edgy
MY. SIDES.
personafans everyone
>>283579625
He's injured though, that's even edgier!
>>283581890
Jesus christ P3P graphics are even worse than ps2's
>>283581903
If you are EOP, that will be a lot of time that you will spend out of 4chan.
Until the localization hits the west.
>>283581903
>Can't wait to not visit 4chan
okay anon
>>283582042
I will do productive things for a change
Or atleast catch up in my books/vidya/series/anime
>>283579297
>edgier
There's that word again.
>>283582002
even the nasty filter can't hide it
>>283581890
>omitting every other mechanic
>>283582042
I can already see it now, the P5 animation is going to be out and subbed before we even get a hold of the game here in the west.
>>283581986
>>283579297
shadows have always been edgy
why would this of ALL things be a turn off for the game?
>>283581582
P3/4 are literally the same as the SMT games of their era but with less options and worse dungeons. The only reduction in clunkiness came from taking DeSu's free skill selection.
Dear fanbase,
You're taking to long to make Morgana rule 34
Sincerely,
Anonymous
>>283581818
sharpening my nip anon, I'll be the first one revealing plot points, just wait until /r9k/ hears about it
>>283582220
what mechanics does persona have that say, nocturne doesn't besides the dating sim
and yes the extra attack system is just press turn but even easier to exploit
Why is he angry?
>>283582042
>>283582109
>>283581903
I'm fucking out of here the moment this game drops or gets leaked. It'll be lonely and hard, but fucking worth it.
>>283582487
He'll be stuck at 30fps while all his predecessors had 60
>>283582487
Cause a bunch of fags keep calling him Sho
I hate this dumbass SMT/Persona fan rivalry. It's two variations on the same shit.
>>283582487
He wants to be edgy, but his persona won't let him.
>>283582565
I'll reach you anon
at the first moment of weakness
on every board
I'll be there
>>283579297
I don't know if it's /v/ being full of fucking normies or just beta cucks trying to pretend to be normal after this whole "gamers are dead" shit going on. The fucking extensive misuse of word edgy on this board starts to get on my nerves.
>>283582487
This is probably the only shot of him actually looking mad without that shit eating grin on his face.
>>283582487
Somebody stole his persona.
Never thought I'd see a day when people actually argue about mild differences in turn based battles.
Turn based fighting isn't super complex, and it doesn't need to be to be satisfying.
SMT fans are just explosively angry that their games aren't being made for anything but handhelds now, and that's fine, but don't take it out on Persona for being popular. That's just childish.
Now who's going to trade their souls in to satan to get Devil Summoner 3 announced?
>>283582487
He wants to be an american idiot
>>283582683
what do any of the words in that sentence have to do with one another
do you just spout memes for the hell of it
>>283582675
I'm not touching 4chan at all. Not even /k/, which is pretty much safe from that sort of shit.
>>283582770
I want a devil survivor 3 with social elements and waifus
>>283582727
Take a second to realize you're angry that the main character smiles a lot.
>>283582849
I will be the one anon
I'll spoil the game to you
>>283580584
>persona 3/4
>better combat
It's literally Nocturne but more simple. Not bashing Persona, but they're the same thing as the rest of MT, but in a different setting.
I don't see what's edgy in the P3 awakening, plese help.
>>283582607
playing any Megaten for the grafix
>>283582849
I'm actually moot. The moment the game drops I'm changing every board header to P5 spoilers
one day you'll give in and click, and then you'll be mine
>>283583016
>framerate = grafix
>>283582989
Shooting yourself in the head is edgy.
>>283582953
Hello
>>283580469
too bad hiimdaisy won't be along for the ride this time.
>>283582953
Are you gonna come to my house and whisper in my ear sweet spoilers?
>>283583192
he can't choose the way he uses the persona though, therefore it's not edgy
>>283582442
Oh they're similar in depth. At least until you look at all the mechanics outside of combat at least.
>>283583252
what happened to him anyway
i looked for his blog to find one of the metal gear comics and all I got was russian news
>>283583362
>Him
You already started wrong
>>283580729
you mean the localization logo, which is more or less an afterthought
>>283583362
she's deleted all her old comics, changed her screenname, and is writing a new feminist comic now and hates P4 and MGS because they're associated with her old identity
>>283583362
>him
>>283583318
so the dating sim? and tying your demons' strength to said dating sim? So different.
>>283583016
Are you mentally challenged
>>283583362
Her, and she decided she hated her comics and deleted them all. Now makes a comic called Cucumber Quest, which is very cute but sort of boring.
>>283581880
FUCK YOU!
>>283583423
>>283583460
>>283583469
expecting me to believe there's women on the internet
that is unfortunate though
>>283583304
yes?
>>283583460
Do you got a link for her new feminist shit?
I want to see how the mighty have fallen
>>283580257
>trailer literally shows them dancing to groovy music with a cartoon cat
Yeah sure is edgefest
>>283583460
for real?
that's some damn good brainwashing
>>283583640
the comic is Cucumber Quest and she was tweeting about how she used to not think of it as a feminist work but is now openly proud about it
>>283581164
They're both part of Megami Tensei.
>>283583431
I think it's more about the mesh between the SMT logo's typeset and the Persona one, the fonts don't match each other.
Needs more edge. I love it.
>>283583795
Its not even maddening
Its just...boring
>>283579297
Best music in a mainline game
Best music in a Persona game
Go!

Never played persona in my life and I don't plan to
Maybe 2, some day, before I die, gotta play Raidou tho
>>283584950
Which Raita is it?
>>283585041
Persona 2 is worth it. Some people say the combat is clunky and boring, and that's true to a degree, but it's not as bad as they make it sound.
>>283585041
Back to tumblr
>>283585349
Yeah, I know, but I played SMT II and it's my favorite atm, so I know my stuff about clunky
Persona was always edgier than SMT, even P4
>nocturne
>edgy
>>283582942
I'm not mad, he has a huge shit eating grin constantly, but he doesn't here. Chill your autism, friend.

Yup
>>283586960
>becoming one of billions of mindless prayer dispensers
lawfags truly are the worst

>>283586306
I already have a gym membership, so I guess it'll be a good time to get some sick gainz while learning how to cook like my Senpai.
>>283587046

>>283587285

Go home
Thing is, the entirety of SMT, Persona included, could be tagged as "edgy" these days
Oppose the will of YHVH? cue le fedoraman meme
Go Neutral and reject both factions? woah man so stronk nuthin personnel
The Persona games sure as fuck are edgy, if the words hold any meaning anymore. What with the mastermind being literally Hitler, having Thanatos as a persona and "babbys first darkshit". This is a stupid argument both ways
>>283587595
In this case it's actually true, it happened the day before Valentine's Day. You can dig through the archives if you like

>Edgier than nocturne
I, xXxXx_SephiRothfanXxX_miraTRUNKS_xXxX disagree with you, persona is a game from the glorious land of japan, therefore, is not edgy at all
Where is the Arsene porn?
I'll just leave this here
http://strawpoll.me/3659936
>>283579297
nocturne has been dethroned as edgiest SMT game
>>283587595
This actually happened, it was like right before Valentine's Day started

I hope not
>>283590573
Man, I'm glad I stopped browsing that shitty general. The last time I visited, they were discussing female orgasms.
I feel sorry for their translators.
>>283591089
I'm honestly still in shock that /smtg/ somehow got worse than /pg/, neither were particularly good but /smtg/ sunk so low, particularly since the SMT IV Euro launch
>>283584518

>>283592163
It was one post and everyone else told him to fuck off
>>283591257
I think the worst thing about it is that it goes through short periods of great discussion. If it had been shit to begin with, that'd be one thing.
Plus /smtg/ has amazing and friendly translators that are drowned out by the shitposters. I have to keep checking up on those assholes and wading through their bullshit if I want DS1/EPP/if... news.

holy shit
I actually love games with a dark moody tone, probably why I think P3 > P4, the edgier P5 is the better if you ask me, its more realistic. You can't have teenagers literally putting their lives on the line fighting demons and shit then have them come home like nothing is going on while having watermelon parties and camping trips, they should be stressed out, afraid, and training like hell to ensure their survival.
Gantz is probably the most accurate representation of how people would act under a crises where you gain great power but also face a great foe. People will die, a lot, and people will cry, and finally people will nut up and start kicking ass. I just feel like the severity of the situation the persona teams are in is never portrayed realistically.
just started dds for my first smt
what should i do with my stats?
>>283593087
>I just feel like the severity of the situation the persona teams are in is never portrayed realistically.
Play P1 or 2 then
>>283593246
P1 is as dark as P4 and Innocent Sin is 90% wacky anime teenagers fight Nazis and 10% seriousness. Persona has never had any tonal consistency.
>>283583460
>feminist comic
Hey, I like Cucumber Quest
>>283593148
literally all STR
>>283593148
Make everyone what they're obviously built for
make Serph a buffing machine with some magic
give everyone mantras they're weak to as well so they can learn shield and resist skills to counter them
>edgy
>Busta Rhymes literally raps the theme song
nigga pls
>>283594581
>Busta Rhymes
>Not the mayor of edgeville
I have never in all my days seen an edgier rapper than Busta Rhymes
>>283594965
he's as edgy as he's being paid to be
What SMT should I emulate?
>>283595608
Nocturne
>>283595608
SJ and Nocturne
Now, go forth
>>283593374
Yeah, even p3 which is known for edge has tons of lightheartedness. I'm not saying there shouldn't be any fun, but going to fight demons shouldn't be a game or something to look forward to at all.
>>283594965
yeah well ur mom's so edgy her vagina is a Tetracontakaihexagon
>>283584342
Yeah that dungeon where you literally don't do anything while waiting for school chumps to dig through the dungeon was a blast.
>>283595906
I think people are going to be really disappointed if If.. ever gets translated and they realize it's a game hacked together with assets from SMT1/2 and some of the most obtuse design decisions around
>>283596198
The assets thing isn't that big of a deal considering Atlus is the king of reusing assets. But yeah those design decisions.
>>283593148
This is one of the few SMT games where a balanced build is actually not bad. Ignore luck entirely, Luck Noises on Serph will give you all the luck you need for the entire game. Pump your other stats with slightly less priority in magic.
I just ordered Digital Devil Saga
Are they any good?
Im also thinking about buying the Raidou Kuzunoha games
Same question, are they good?
>>283597030
yes and yes
>>283591027
>g.e-hentai
lol
they can't get past the panda image of mystery
>>283597030
>Raidou Kuzunoha
Only if you can stomach clunky ARPG combat.
>>283586454
From what?
There should be fully streamlined remakes of Persona 1+2 so then they can get some shine top
>>283579297
How do persona summoning in P5 happen
>>283598036
I'm guessing the masks are somehow related.
>>283595698
>>283595704
Alright might play it before p4, I havent tried ps2 emulation yet, hopefully the xbox gamepad is fine.
>first they throw us a big fat red herring with [P5 HERO]
>then they reveal actual p5 hero, is a nerd on the train
>lol just kidding HE IS A PHANTOM THIEF
Wouldn't be surprised if they throw another wrench into things
>>283579297
idc
So I just finished Persona 2, and realized something after removing Philemon's mask.
In Persona 3 and 4, when you get your persona, thats not actually your persona talking and saying the whole Thou art I nonsense. Its actually Philemon granting you your persona.
>>283599246
the whole game is probably finished, they're just taking everyone for a ride
>>283599663
philemon is the blue butterfly, so it would make sense
He's just waiting for a chance to come back and remind people he exists.
>>283599691
Maybe they'll announce a release date tomorrow
>>283599876
Also, the reason why the velvet room looks like a jail this time is not because potter-kun is a thief, but because he's a pawn of nyarly
>>283599663
>Philemon actually hee-hos
I'm pretty sure it's the personas talking.
>>283600487
I hate this stupid nickname so fucking much
>>283583460
But Cucumber Quest is cute as fuck.
>>283579297
>Being Kaito Kid
>Edgy
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAunless you mean his nose.
>>283600583
I'm talking about your first persona. Both Pimp MC and Brotagonist's persona give the "Thou Art I and I am Thou" speech when they awaken. Which is what Philemon tells Kazuya when he removes Phil's mask and reveals his own face.
>>283579297
but nocturne is a solo SMT spin off...
>>283600987
Which means all those rank ups are Philemon talking to you as well.
>>283601140
Probably. I wouldnt put it past him, with the blue butterfly following you all over.
>>283600987
If that was Philemon talking in P3 then he must have been pissed to have his entrance overshadowed by Death.
>>283601575
