There was something in the air that night,
the stars were bright,for Nanjo.
>>124652364
Sorry, too slow. But it's already there. Which part should be removed?
So what is the gimmick of summoning your Persona in #5?
FOR GETTING THE JOB DONE!
FOR JUSTICE!
>>124652314
Yukiko is about to vomit from the joy of seeing Rise in a dress.
>>124652486
The new one is updated
>>124652490
Tearing off your mask. Atlus is the one ripping off Persona.
>>124652742
Damn these guys got the best looking Personas
>>124652840
Carmen too lewd
>>124652314
>No "Edition"
Kill yourself
>>124652314
Chie still looks hot as fuck
For Naoto!
>>124653356
>>124653356
It's the no edition edition.
Hey Big Bro? Why did the lady take off her clothes before getting wrapped up by the ribbions?
>>124654419
Persona x Kill la Kill?
Hey Big Bro? Why would someone shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane?
>>124654642
You're ready to fight, watch out the moon, they dis you loud, our bond has got much stronger than before
Don't lose your way, just keep reaching out for the truth in your heart
>>124654642
WHY DOES MINATO NOT CARE!!!!!
>>124655240
Lotus Juice going to do a Don't Lose Your Way remix?
>>124655257
Because he knows Mitsuru is some unclean whore who sold her body for the business.
Was there any explanation of how Aigis sealed Ryoji into Minato or is it just "anime magic?" Was it the same thing MC used to seal Nyx?
>>124655507
It's magic.
>>124655507
>Was it the same thing MC used to seal Nyx?
certainly not, that required the combined strength of all SEES as all Makoto's friends. Sealing death in makoto was a stop-gap solution only possible because it wasn't complete yet, it couldn't be done again once all the shadows of it's affinity were killed.
And yes, anime magic. kirijo tech and TV world mechanics are intentionally vague so they can do anything they want with them. Just like Star Trek, the rules change to fit the plot, the plot is not made to fit the rules.
Let's talk what The Answer brings to the Persona 3 table.
>MC is dead.
Totally inferable from the end of the main game if you're not an idiot. No need to explain that.
>Backstory on characters.
Nothing of interest. Most of it we already know and doesn't add to the characters at all. Barely even worth the effort of drawing middle school Akihiko and Mitsuru.
>Erebus
Again, unnecessary. It's like they gave up on Nyx being the final boss and needed to make a FINAL final boss that Nyx was only working for!
>Metis
LOL
>Fighting the SEES team
Ok, this was kind of cool. But it's clearly an idea they came up with and struggled on how to put it into the story and the explanation on why they are fighting seems questionable at best.
>Hours and hours of grinding
Oh right! The meat and potatoes of The Answer! How could I forget fighting the exact same enemies as the main game without having any breaks for story to pace the game correctly?!
Why is The Answer so shit?
>>124657264
I got to fry the shit out of Yukari, that's more than enough for me
Phantom is from Sumaru City!

>>124662381
>>124662285
Nothing. Junpei told me so.
Which persona will you pet when person-amie comes out as P5 DLC?
I would pet Orpheus' cute hair.
Hi /pg/!
Which is the best story side of PQ?
Also, is it worth it to play in the hardest difficulty setting?
>>124666482
Whichever side you'd rather play with and probably not.
>>124666482
Persona 4 side has more scenes
>>124667036
Does it really? I remember someone complaining that they liked P4 side's more, but I thought in general, you had the same number of scenes per dungeon.
>>124666482
>Also, is it worth it to play in the hardest difficulty setting?
Not really, unless you like game overs when your protag dies.
>>124667113
Yep.
>>124666482
>>124666767
It is honestly a pretty good game, but it can get repetitive easily; and in later dungeons if you don't have Naoto, you'll have to struggle with enemy encounters for more time than it's worth.
I've only played the P3 side; but I absolutely hate Teddy in that game and I pretty much only care for Kanji, Yukiko and Rise from the IT. So I don't feel too compeled to replay the game with the P4 side.
>>124667153
Well, that usually happens in many other megaten games. The only thing that worries me is that enemies might become damage sponges.
>>124666482
4 cause it has more hilarious scenes
3 cause mudoon attacks can kill the main protag in a heartbeat
>>124667557
Just play it on hard for the first one and you can change it if it's not fun. Risky is the only mode you can't change after the game has started.
>>124667668
>Risky is the only mode you can't change after the game has started
Oh shit.
Persona Q is my favorite Persona game.I probably should try EO, but the demos kinda put me off with how you must build your party from scratch. I get paranoid that I'll make a shitty party with a shitty build.
>>124668279
>get paranoid that I'll make a shitty party with a shitty build.
Unless you look up guides and shit like that, you most definitely will fuck that up on your first playthrough.
is /eog/ still alive by the way?
>>124668548
>Unless you look up guides and shit like that, you most definitely will fuck that up on your first playthrough.
I like EO games, but this is a frustrating part of it. I mean, they give you options to rebuild it, just get ready to grind, grind, grind. Persona could take a few lessons from EO, but that's something I don't miss.
>>124668279
Just have some common sense and try to fill all the roles for a successful party, like a healer, a buffer,a wizard, a tank and a warrior.
Or just make a party of qt loli farmers and get mad dosh
>>124668548
>you most definitely will fuck that up
Fuck.
I also searched for eog and I got scared for a second, but then I found out that they just forgot to type the abbreviation. I fucking hate when newfags and ebin trolls do that.
Happy Birthday Yukiko!
>>124669536
Happy birthday. Of all waifuposters I hate yours the leastbecause they don't exist.
>>124669536
Sure, why not. Yukiko is allowed a happy birthday, and is now older than you'd think
Nips are still trying to understand

During the countdown to the TGS stream, there were smaller countdown where they would talk about various shit. At first the dialoguebox just called them "girl with buns" and "girl with a braid", at the end of the last smaller countdown they finally introduced themselves.

Some of those would look like they came out of a yaoi doujin out of context.

Why?
Can someone please explain how the TV world fits into what Persona 3 established about shadows, the dark hour, and their impact on people in the real world?
>>124712550
The Dark Hour and TV world are unrelated except for their ties to the CU.
In large, remember the Golden Rule of Persona: It's Magic, I Ain't Gotta Explain Shit
>>124712550
how did the shadows get in the tv if they were in tartarus??
>>124712951
How did Tartarus get to Tatsumi Port Island if it was below Hades?
>>124712951
Izanami did it
>>124713059
The Kirijo group named it that way. it might not be the real tartarsauce
>>124713212

The Kirijo Group is built upon a web of LIES.

tfw there's a nude version of this but if I post it I'll get banned.
>>124716967
Everyone knows because someone posted it before. Probably because some moron has basically 10 pictures and that's all he dumps.
>>124714859
Just you.
>>124714859
No, she's fucking terrible, I still haven't been able to play through the story mode because of her voice. I actually like the new Naoto voice since she sounds more manly, it may not be as good as the original P4 one but it's acceptable. New Rise is just pure shit. She has no emotion in her voice at all which is pretty horrible since Rise is suposed to be the character that cheer her friends on. I have no idea what the fuck they were thinking.
So why didn't the SEES fly to the top of Tartarus on a helicopter?
>>124717649
Because then you wouldn't really have a game then would you? It's like the age old question "why didn't frodo and his friends fly the eagles all the way to morder and drop the ring? Because you wouldn't have a story then.
>>124717649
Did they have a helicopter that worked during the dark hour?
Jesus, why does Yosuke sound like such a whiny bitch all the time?
>>124717649
It's not like anything was happening on the top of Tartarus. They went there to train, stuff was only happening at the top on the 31st and Nyx would have shot that thing down.
>>124717845
They could have got one to work instead of Mitsuru's motorbike.
>>124718242
Maybe he is a whiny bitch all the time?
>>124718286
They continued to go up Tartarus to see what was at the top.
>>124717845
>Did they have a helicopter that worked during the dark hour?
We know they had one later. Though no reason why they couldn't make one before.
>>124718476
>Set out to reach the top of Tartarus
>End up in the basement
S.E.E.S. can't do anything right, and yet the IS still ends up being worse.
>>124718242
Same reason /pg/ does
>>124718715
>and yet the IS still ends up being worse.
Well, they DID get the world blown up.
Dammit, Maya.
>>124718476
And there wouldn't have been anything on the top until the last day. Their main motivation was training to fight the Full Moon shadows. Seeing what was on top as more of a reward for their curiosity.
If you want a real plothole ask about Ryoji in Gekkoukan.
>>124717845
They have a fucking robot, i doubt Kirijo Group coudlnt build a helicopter that function during the dark hour
>>124718969
Why can't Aigis turn into a helicopter?
>>124719964
cause' she's not more than meets the eye.
>>124718872
I wasn't really talking about plotholes but alright, what about Ryoji in Gekkoukan?
There was a plothole with Strega and the drugs but the Club Book fixed it, along with others. Then the Answer went and retconned a bit of the club book so I don't know if it stands or not.
>>124720393
The latest version's retcons don't take old media out of canon.
Ryoji's admission to Gekkoukan is impossible and completely unexplained. Ikutsuki or Mitsuru could have pulled the ropes to get Aigis in, but no one knew Ryoji and Ikutsuki was dead.
>>124720756
>and Ikutsuki was dead.
Or IS he? P5 soon.
>>124720982
If they were going to pull that one they would have done it in Ultimax.
>>124720756
>The latest version's retcons don't take old media out of canon.
They do when they contradict. The P3 club books portrays Nyx as being malevolent. The Answer actually shows Nyx isn't malevolent, it's Erebus that is malevolent.
Fair point about Ryoji.
>>124721159
That's what they want you to think.
>>124721396
That's what I meant, sorry for the poor wording. I meant the retcons to Strega and Nyx both apply despite portions of the Club Book being retconned.Is there a DL for the Club Book anywhere?
>>124720982
Hopefully he'll just kill himself for real this time.Or maybe there will be a touching reunion with his son
>>124721538

>>124721862
Are there any contradictions in this guide's explaination of Apathy Syndrome, and Naoto's in DAN? I feel like there are.
The guide says that Apathy Syndrome victims were attacked by their shadows
In DAN, Naoto says Apathy Syndrome is a result of the shadow leaving the body
>>124723560
Naoto is always right since she is the best andcanongirl
>>124723560
I wonder where she got that info from. Mitsuru hand it over? Public Safety?
>>124721862
At least that guide indirectly explains the "What about the airplanes?" thing.
They were frozen in time after all.
>>124723560
Couldn't tell you - I haven't played DAN.
However just going through the club book I saw this
>The poor fools who have been struck with Apathy Syndrome and become but shadows of their former selves have in actuality all lost the parts of their psyches that contained fragments of Nyx - their Shadows.
Where do you see the victims were 'attacked' by their shadows? Maybe it does say they were attacked in that book but it sounds like they actually stayed consistent with that bullshit.
>>124724972
It was written to fill in the blanks/holes they made with vanilla P3 from what it looks like.
I don't know what the writers were on when they were talking about Nyx and Apthy Syndrome but they really went for it.

Kanji is such a cool guy. I used to have a friend like him, but he was gay.
>>124736364
I want to fuck him. He's perfect husbando tier.
>>124742827
Because be has a story reason for it.
>>124741815
Why do people in the west like kanji so much? Troy Baker? He was a cool guy, don't get me wrong, but that's it. Yosuke is a better bro than Kanji. Even Naoto is a better bro than Kanji.
Morgana is the final boss!
>>124744253
It has nothing to do with how much of a "bro" he was to me/the main character. I like him because he's just kind of a sweet dopey guyand because we're both queer as shit.
>>124744253
>Why do people in the west like kanji so much?
Because he's a badass who knits on the side. Or vice versa. He's the perfect Otaku role model. He has feminine, niche interests, but is someone you want by your side when things get hairy.
>>124744524
Morgana is your mother's reincarnated soul. And then things get Oedipal.

Who isn't?
>>124745578
>Rubbing Naoto on the head
That's lewd.
>>124745834
Yosuke.
He'd pick something lame because he thinks it looks cool.
>>124746097
Naoto is the lewd one, forgetting her socks at Yu's house.
>>124745578
Was Naoto's design ripped off of Kino's?
>>124745834
Yu would either pick Mario or someone quirky.
>>124746320
I see literally 0 resemblance between Naoto and whoever the fuck this random anime girl or boy is.
>>124745834
Yukiko would pick Wario
>>124746471
Cat Peach.
>>124745732
Wasn't there some thing where like people who picked Yoshi in Smash/Kart/etc. would inevitably grow up to be gay?
>>124746471
Yu picks his own Mii like an asshole.
>>124746875
But is his own Mii made to look like him or some random ass ugly monstrosity he made for shits and giggles?
>>124746795
The correct answer
>>124747096
Regular Mii for racing, monstrosity for Smash Bros and Tomodachi Life.
>>124746585
Are you blind, anon? Her personality is pretty much the same too.
Yosuke would pick Roy because he looks cool
Chie would pick Daisy
Yukiko would pick Pink Gold Peach
Kanji would pick Yoshi
Rise would pick Peach
Teddie would use a Mii of himself and make noises the whole race
Naoto would pick whoever is the best in the game
>>124746317
Why were her socks there though?
>>124747689
>The watch reads <1m
>>124703114
Wow, Yukari's all up on him, in some of these, is that the route the manga author choose? Why did they choose Yukari route? Girl's incredibly clingy and distant it's like she's at war with herself and everyone gets caught in the crossfiya
>>124747689
In Japan, when you enter someone's house, you take off your shoes. She obviously also took off her socks and forgot to get them afterthey fucked
>>124747592
Yosuke picks Luigi because he can't pick the number one characters
>>124747823
Some of those are just normal events. We'll never know what route the author took because no one will live long enough to see the end.
>>124718969
They already had that helicopter, Yukari fucking shot at it in the drama CD short story where Mitsuru went back home and SEES was almost disbanded.
>>124747939
>In Japan, when you enter someone's house, you take off your shoes.
I assume everyone in civilized countries does this. What do you do? Walk around the house with your outside shoes, tracking mud and shit everywhere you walk?

Actually Anon, in most civilized countries we have sidewalks and roads, so you don't even get mud and shit on your shoes in the first place!

>We'll never know what route the author took because no one will live long enough to see the end.
>Following the release of Persona 3 Manga “Chapitre 8” in March, an Amazon Japan listing has gone up for the ninth volume in the series, which will be released on January 27, 2016 in Japan.
But it seems like Sogabe is leaning more towards Yukari, yeah.
>>124749570
Would that be the final volume?
>>124749570
>leaning towards the yandere
Disgusting
>>124750971
Yukari is a yandere in the manga? Or are you getting it mixed up with "tsundere"?
>>124751037
>wanting to kill everyone for the boy
>not yandere

>As teased in March 2015, the upcoming volume for the Persona 3 manga, which originally started in February 2007, will likely be the end of the series which has been going for almost nine years now.
Also Game Informer released a 2 pages long article about P5 and an interview with Hashino. Nothing really new was revealed, apparently Ann spent some time in Murrica.

They said that, but it doesn't actually look like it will be the last one. Sogabe spent the latest chapters having Aigis Yukari and Fuuka talk about their feelings. They didn't even face Nyx yet.
It seriously feels like Sogabe doesn't want to end the manga and is adding pointless filler to delay it as much as he can.
>>124751583
Isn't the story all fucked up anyway, like he jumps all over the place with it and everything is out of order? I remember being really confused back when I gave a shit about it and the P4 manga.
He can make it. And move on to The Answer manga.
>>124751813
Yes. And these chapters seem like more jumping, because they were already at Tartarus ready to face Nyx in the latest one I saw scanned. I wouldn't be surprised if next thing is a random gag chapter with his otp: MC and Ryoji.
Would your waifu want you to do something desperate, /pg/?
>>124752839
Like sneak into Atlus to steal a beta build? Because that would be wrong.
>>124744902
Persona protags don't have moms.
>>124754582
Phantom does and her name is Katherine.
>>124755815
No her name is Catherine.
>>124755909
I thought that was Ann's. Or at least Ryuuji.
WHO
KILLED
/pg/?
>>124759042
It was rumored to happen.
WHEN THE FUCK IS MY TESTIMONY coming out.
>>124759708
I don't know. When does the Persona x Ace Attorney crossover start?
>>124761317
Gumshoe is the killer.
>>124761317
If you don't take this seriously, I'm going to rape you so help me god!
>>124762069
Ironic Adachi-posting is still Adachi-posting.
>Morgana, the cat, assumes the role as the adviser for the group, but she also has her own secret goal. “The relationship between the protagonist and Morgana is much closer than others you’ve seen in previous titles,” Hashino states.
Ready to sex a cat, /pg/?
>>124764181
A cat is never not fine, too.
>>124764181
why do you make the assumption that you will be able to fuck the cat, anon?
