Should have made it myself.
remember when serial killers actually killed people.
on purpose.
and didn't spend the bulk of the game hiding away
>>124219861
>no /pg/
get those eyes checked faggot
>Should have made it myself.
Then make it yourself then next time you worthless cunt.
>>124219861
It's right in the title anon.
>>124219861
Are you fucking serious?
>>124219957
I will.
Don't ever make a new thread, fag.
Already off to a great start, aren't we, Persona General?
>>124220134
looking forward to it.
>>124219452
Naoto couldn't detect why the canary is gone if the cat coughed up a bunch of feathers
>>124220384
Does Naoto figure out anything of note before its revealed in P4? She seems like a pretty shit detective to me.
>Every Persona thread on /v/ gets derailed into furry porn because Morgana
They will come here next when the game comes out, won't they, /pg/?
>>124220491
NOPE! she even got kidnapped on purpose and still couldn't get any actual details
>>124220491
I mean she did all those murder investigations super good. If she actually detected as well as she should have it would tear the plot in half.
>>124220491
She figured out that people who show up on news are being kidnapped
That kidnappings are related to the murders
That Mitsuo isn't the killer original
That IT is trying to solve the case
I think
>Naoto again
When are you faggots going to get bored of this shit.
>>124220767
>She figured out that people who show up on news are being kidnapped
we knew that long before she even showed up
>>124220797
When Persona 5 comes out and everyone jumps ship to the girls in that game
>>124220797
You're in a general for a game that came out seven years ago, if it hasn't gotten boring to these people yet it never will.
>>124220767
So basically what a bunch of random teenagers managed to figure out?
>>124220797
This time it's a bunch of people shitting on her, too.
Basically, people will stop it when:
A. It stops setting off people and
B. When a couple of newfags get bored of spamming.
>>124220914
is this /p4g/?
>>124220853
We did, but not the police.
>>124220925
Well, yeah. But she did figure it out on her own and it's all pretty important.
It's just that IT did it first.
>>124220853
>>124220925
>what a bunch of random teenagers with the power to enter a magical world through the TV figured out
fixed it for you. People seem to forget that Naoto didn't have access to the TV world, she had no idea it even existed outside of the Midnight Channel, yet she managed to figure out everything the IT did aswell.
>>124220941
but the P4 cast is awful sempai
>>124221060
IT were a bunch of fairly dumb teenagers.
>>124221089
Almost everything in that list didn't require the TV world to figure out.
>>124221089
You don't need to enter the TV world to figure anything of that
>>124221089
>yet she managed to figure out everything the IT did aswell.
Also IT only figured out that people who show up on TV are being kidnapped only because Kanji stole some guy's notes
>>124220586
I warned you all that the thread being dead was the best thing that would happen to it in the near future.
it's never really explored HOW she came to any of these conclusions either.
the script just decided it was so without bothering to go into details. which is kind of lame for a detective story
>>124221154
All the casts are awful. And great.
>>124221413
>it's never really explored HOW she came to any of these conclusions either.
Same way Dojima came to a lot of similar conclusions, and even started to suspect Namatame. Plot. Same reason why anything happens in any Persona game.
>>124221434
I like the P3 cast because they're a bunch of twats, I don't like the P4 cast because they're not twats.
>>124221434
maybe but the other games at least have real characters. 4 has a collection of one note jokes.
>>124221642
You say that like a huge chunk of the previous casts aren't also filled with basically filler. Maybe it's filler you like, but still. I mean look at Akihiko.
>>124221745
I wouldn't really call Akihiko filler.
>>124221642
>maybe but the other games at least have real characters
rose-tinted glasses the post.
>>124222005
Akihiko fills Chie, if you know what I mean.
>>124222005
For the main plot, meaning anything with Nyx, he doesn't have much to do. In the start he's all about training to get strong, he gets the Shinjiro event, and then he's still all about training, though saying he's learned a lesson. Otherwise he's largely a background character.
>>124222081
I'd say the earlier games have a better (and good) main cast but P4 has a pretty good supporting and social link cast.
>>124222104
You lost me.
>>124222203
I would still say the earlier games still have their fair share of problems.
>>124222323
I don't think Akihiko quite understand at all himself.
He knows girls have some parts, and he wants to do things with them, but his default response to things is punching them, which usually works out poorly.
Persona 5 is going to be the only good Persona game.
>>124222468
I'm not denying that but I'm saying they had better main casts because lets be honest, the P4 main cast is kind of boring.
>>124222603
>normal cat in background
>portrait is the mascot version
It's already confirmed to be shit
>>124222713
I disagree. But they are good.
>>124222713
>the P4 main cast is kind of boring.
That's your opinion, I don't think they are boring, I enjoyed them more than the P3 cast atleast, I didn't really give a fuck about any of the characters in P3 except Mitsuru. P2 had better than both.
P3 had dog.
P4 had bear.
P5 have cat.
What will P6 have?
how the fuck do I deal with b2b Nebula Oculus? I'm level 80 with a level 80 persona but even through def buffs and guard I can't survive a boosted double massive almightly attack.
>>124222948
>I didn't really give a fuck about any of the characters in P3 except Mitsuru.
I keep forgetting Fuuka exists even though she's the navigator and you hear her voice all the time in Tartarsauce
It's like she isn't a real character
>>124223112
better question is how the fuck do you not deal with nebula oculus, its fucking nothing
>>124223076
A pig.
>>124223076
a fox, oh shit wait...
>>124223228
I just told you, magic boost+stat boosts+2 in a row before I can heal means it just hits through even at full health with guard up for the initial one. I even popped a debilitate on it and it still managed to kill me.

They're just generic and 1 dimensional. They don't feel like real characters with realistic flaws they have to overcome. Compared to the earlier games like P3 where they showed and overcame their flaws and issues through dialogue (e.g. Junpei's jealousy) and events instead of their flaws being non-existant until they spawn a shadow them and then suddenly become better people.
>>124223649
there's simply no other explanation for it, because i cannot imagine struggling so much on such an unremarkable fight
here a hint
[/spoiler]dekaja[/spoiler]
>>124223076a black party memberfine, fine, I'm going already
>>124223848
>They're just generic and 1 dimensional
They are concepts of non-specificity in a matrix of dimensional uncertainty?
>>124224061
P1 already took that
>>124224045
I would "steak" my dick in her.
>>124224274
No you wouldn't
>>124223848
no they're not, most of them have issues you can relate to and they resolve them during the course of their S-links. Admittedly I have a hard time remembering the P3 party members and their issues because I didn't give a single fuck about them. The P4 cast had realistic flaws aswell.
>>124223848
>instead of their flaws being non-existant until they spawn a shadow them and then suddenly become better people.
Yeah, because Fuuka sure as hell didn't pretty much disappear after her part with Natsuki and the Emperor&Empress shadows
Or Ken after killing Shinji
Or Akihiko before Shinji was killed and after
Or even Mitsuru after her father died
Or Shinji who just showed up to die
It's pretty much the same shit as with P4's shadows.
>>124224383
>CheerSS

Steak is not a verb.
>>124224525
The Chee in the Yukiko's Castle
>>124222005
Akihiko, Shinjiro, Ken and Junpei could have all been removed with no real difference to the story.
Maybe Akiihiko is needed to bring the first full moon shadow to the dorm but other than that he does nothing.
>>124224687
you forgot Koro
He did steal Ikutsuki's remote that one time but that's all
>>124224687
Actually, I think one of the weirdest things about P3 is Tartarus. Until the end of the game when you're told about Nyx, you don't really have a story reason to explore it other than "We don't know what it's for." You largely explore it to level up and complete sidequests.
>>124219912
But he was a shit villain. Was barely in the game and was just crazy and being used by Nyarl. There was nothing good about him other than he just went around on a killing spree.
>>124224687
plot relevance is a bad metric to rate characters by, but you're not wrong
>>124224876
The weirded thing about P3 is that it barely has a plot until October and the human villains are entirely irrelevant to the story.
You had no reason to really go up Tartarus but I suppose you go up before you figure out about the full moon shadows. By the time you figure it out you've probably already found one or two of the documents which could have enticed them to go further.
>>124224687
I wouldn't go that far, but I do think that all those characters are pretty distant from anything important, and Aki-Shinji-Ken suffer from having a really stupid interconnected character arc that drags down the more interesting characters (Aki and Shinji) for the sake of a shitty one
Fuuka is almost worthless, Koro actually is worthless
Aigis, Yukari, and Mitsuru are the big plot players, though even Mitsuru falls into the background a lot of the time
Junpei, Aigis and Yukari have more player relevance than the other characters because they spend notably more time with the MC than the others
I just saw the "bad" ending for P3 on youtube. how was that a bad ending? All the people get to live out the rest of their lives in peace before Nyx destroys everything.
>>124225180
Junpei is one of the best characters in the series. He's still effectively filler since he does nothing for the plot.
Worthwhile filler but if people are claiming the P3 cast don't have filled like the others casts then they need to look again.
>>124225260
>Fuuka is almost worthless, Koro actually is worthless
I agree. Fuuka hacks that one time and as someone else pointed out Koro gets Ikustki's remote.
So really they should barely make the cut of being 'not-filler'.
>>124225335
>before Nyx destroys everything.
I wonder.
>>124225597
>I wonder.
yes, and in the "good" ending you die anyway since you sacrifice yourself. Why would you do that?
>>124225765
>Why would you do that?

>>124225765

>>124224876
I actually liked the mystery even if it was handled poorly and wanted to find out what's up with Tartarsauce. TV world wasn't nearly as spooky, and you can guess pretty soon that it's something like a part of CU.
>>124226358
but who will toast his roast while he's dooring for all eternity? certainly not any human
>>124226608
Being part of the CU doesn't really tell you anything through.

I'm more of a Kain from Legacy of Kain guy, I would rather sacrifice everyone than just myself. You meet several cunts durubg the game aswell, you sacrifice yourself for people like that, I would rather see the world burn than doing that.

you clearly haven't played the series proper if you think Kain was only motivated by selfishness and his own survival.
Kain didn't refuse the sacrifice because he didn't want he refused it because it wouldn't have accomplished anything. The pillars would have remained corrupt and the wheel of fate would have continued to turn leaving everyone to be the plaything of an unseen hand

>>Not given him your own name or coming up with something original
Giving the protagonist a name that will matter shit because he is going to do his own thing anyway and won't let me choose what I would in each situation.
Persona choices are shit. Persona self-inserting is shit. They are mute just because muh tradition.
>>124269494
>Persona self-inserting is shit.
I think this is the main problem. If Persona self-inserting was F:NV tier I wouldn't have a problem with the protag being mute. Then again, in The Witcher 3 Geralt is voiced, but you can actually change a lot of stuff, unlike Persona.

>>124269837
I mentioned this a few threads back, or at least I was planning to, but you have Western RPGs like Fallout New Vegas, where you basically pick nearly everything your character does, and you have JRPGs where you largely go down a linear story to tell a mostly static story.
Persona's problem, at least in 3/4 is that it feels like its stuck in the middle of the two generalized styles. It's not open enough that your protagonist is wholly your character, but it's also not structured enough to make it worth giving the main character a complete personality and voice.
Unless something in the setup of the series changes, we'll always be a bit in the awkward middle.

First thing she does is hug him without consent. In Japan that's basically rape. After that she keeps intruding his room and violating his privacy whenever she feels like. In PQ he even tells her to quit it. With Ryoji she even decides who MC can be friends with or not. She keeps imposing her presence without caring if she is a bother or not. The "I will be by your side" is the biggest proof of this. He never asked for it.
>wat
She keeps ranting about her "I want to be human" "What's life" to MC, never bothering to ask him how is he doing himself. Even in his last minutes, she decided the appropriated thing was to dump a rant on her own feelings to him. She even went as far as telling him you don't need to save the world to find the answer to life, when it was exactly what he did. She only cared about her needs, her feelings and her hunches. Not even once she cared about how MC himself felt toward her or anything else.

Is anything on the 3 side of PQ significantly different than 4 side? Like is it just a minor difference for story events/stroll conversations or does anything major change?

I played MC side so i don't know, people here have mentioned yukari and mitsuru, I imagine poor naocakes is omitted because her character model is flat and the visual gag wouldn't go over well.
>>124286932
No. You can get stuck in a stall with Naoto, Yukari and (I think) Aigis and choose to comfort one of them, but it's just text.

That's fucking BS

There was never any actual boob squishing or anything like that with any character. Hell, if you want you can get stuck in a stall with Junpei and Shinjiro instead. It's just a joke scene while you run from a freaky FOE

That happens only if you hug her.
fun fact: Yu doesn't get an option to hug her I don't really remember anymore but I think his options are worder more like actual sentences than actions and the snack one is him asking her what kind of snack she would like and she gets all hyped

That's a lie though. Yu even blushes if you go to the stall with Naoto and Yukari.
