Alright /pg/, I expect a post at least once every 30 minutes. If you can't do that at least bring me cake.
For the fallen.

Bring Toriumi a Toriumi?
For freeing MC
>>128063286

MC doesn't even like Mitsuru. If he was ever freed, he'd want a dicking from new and improved Boygis first thing.
>>128064094

Aegis is an insane stalker who never left MC alone not even when he was sleeping
>>128064094

Why
>>128064554
Guygis works better pronunciation wise but I like my version better.
>>128064094
But he wants Yu
Labrys a cute
>>128064663
Yu should be the one to take door-kun off the door. Saving someone from an eternity of agony basically gives you boypussy privileges for life.
>>128064920
Rise should do it, because reasons.
>>128064920
Reminder that at the end of PQ Yu promised MC that they will meet again
>>128065881
yeah, yeah okay, and I'm still waiting on that 15th episode of Firefly.
>started playing Persona Q
its pretty good so far
also fuck the third dungeon fuck those babies holy shit FUCK THAT ONE DOLL TOO
>>128066612
Just wait until you get to the fourth dungeon, it's even harder
>>128066612
Evil spirit club is okay, dungeon four will get you pretty hype because the first floor is great. then it hands you two of the most tedious and time consuming puzzles in history.
Dungeon Five (did you think there wouldn't be one?) is pretty cool and has good labyrinth music for once, but the puzzles are a little contrived and one wrong step tends to throw a mahamaon and mamudoon at you before you can vanish ball.
>>128066941
dude it's not even hard, it's just fucking annoying,step based/restricted puzzles in a setting where you can't turn off random encounters and can carry a very limited amount of vanish balls. fuck that.
>>128067154
That's what I meant. The F.O.Es that you encounter there are annoying

Here's your reply.
>>128084973
People who hate shipping are trying too hard.
sleeping table is LITERALLY artificial difficulty
>>128085180
Shipping is a cancer to any series, why even bother entertaining it. Especially in what is essentially a dating sim.
Also I'm trying too hard? all I did was take a second out of my day to respond. If anything shipperfags are too insecure to handle any negativity without feeling like it's a personal attack on them or something.
>>128085819
P4 being a half hearted dating sim is exactly why shipping gets entertained.
>>128086158
its more like it exists and that's why shipping gets entertained
>>128086158
Rise x Piercy is a weird pairing
>>128086540
We can get weirder
>>128086158
>halfhearted
Whats is so halfhearted about it you choose the girl you want, do her special event and then you are in a relationship the game may have other elements to it other than purely dating but the protagonist is still the only one who can date any of the girls. In games like the 3ds Fire Emblems where anyone can pretty much marry anyone to anyone else I can understand it, but in a conventional dating sim it feels like people are just missing the whole point.
>>128086615
So how old is he in 2011? I assume it's at least old enough to not be still wearing a school uniform?
why cant it be me and her
Phantom is from Sumaru City!
>>128073908
Extremely hyped, but only if Nanjo is playable.
>>128087213
31-32 depending if his birthday passed. He's either still VP of his group or president by now. It all depends if his dad stepped down or died.
>>128090580
Sliding time line makes him a like 5~ years younger though wouldnt it?
>>128091884
Yeah roughly. Though I don't think Atlus would ever use a sliding timeline like Marvel on account that it would mess up a lot of dates, specifically with P2 since it actually uses a year, unlike P1.
>>128092234
>as of 2016
You work quick
>>128092619
It didn't take me long to edit it. I still have the .psd file. I did, though, lose my birthday chart .docx when I had to wipe out my computer. I had forgotten to save it on my external.
Oh well. I'll make a new one when Atlus finally reveals the P5 characters' stats.
whats a sliding timeline
>>128092947
Worse than dead, time shifted
>>128092947
It's basically a retcon except it involves time. Instead of claiming that an event happened in 1999 and the current year is 2012, some stories, usually in comics or video games, will go out and mention that event was "9 years ago." Or say a character that's supposed to be older is actually younger than their current age.
Example, Captain America is from the 40s, but they keep changing the year he was unthawed so that it justifies his lack of aging.
>>128092947

It's not fair at how expensive the P3 Kotobukiya statues are.

Got a gamestop giftcard over the holidays so went in and bought Ultimax even though I hate the store.
Turns out they still had copies from the first printing, so I got the blow-up shit and tarot cards.
For once gamestop did something that was in my favor.
>>128096408
Why would you buy Ultimax after we've said it has a terrible story? The community is dead too.
>>128098337
Not him, but I would buy a PS4 version just so I could jump around as Rise.
I dont even play fighting games.
>>128064094
I threw up a bit.
>>128098337
I just enjoy fighting games.
If it's shit, then that's that. At worst I bought a bad game,most likely though I'll enjoy it at least a little though.
It's a travesty that Himiko Prime wasn't used in DAN or mentioned ever again.
>>128099791
Maybe we'll see it again during Rise's cameo in P5
>>128066612
That's reassuring. I ordered mine last week and expecting it this Wednesday. Hoping to finish P3 for the first time before that so I get all the references and such.

Nah, she's not only there bfor the enture December (so until like 24th), but she's also available almost every day exactly so people who ignored her until then can still get the bonus dungeon and more time. He will be fine.

What will become of P4fags when P5 comes out and blows P4 away?
>Atlus claims new info will come soon
>Will probably not come for at least two fucking months
>>128110404
Yeah Atlus has a liberal definition of 'soon'.
I don't think we're getting new info until a firm release date comes with it. And that could be as late as a few months before release.

Japanese is a dumb language, but you would have to be pretty insecure to cling to the english dub of a 100% Japanese product.

This
From past experience, it seems that non-americans are much more inclined towards original dubs while americans are too scared of anything other than english
I will *DIE* for AtlusUSA
>>128115996
With mind charge, but there is no almighty boost/amp
>>128115996
it boosts with tarukaja but you're not getting any persona skill boosts or amps.
>>128115739
how is it a battle when dubs are always garbage?
>>128116028
In my experience, few people American or otherwise, are scared of subs.
>>128115947
Its just easier to use the dub if its good quality, I like to watch Anime while doing other things and if I have to watch the screen for subs its a bit more difficult. Sure I'll watch the sub if its noticeably better but for Persona its not.
I'm not American either
Dub P4 is better than the original.

>not appreciating translation and localization as the artform it is

>>128116173
>Sure I'll watch the sub if its noticeably better but for Persona its not.
Lets wait for the Atlus NA PV03 to judge the quality of P5 VA's since we are not on the 2000's anymore
If you don't speak Japanese and use subs you're getting just as much of a cultural localisation as the dubs whether you like it or not
>>128116209

Jap Rise and Teddie need to die in a fucking fire

>>128116057

That a huge bull man. I hope p5 will make almighty boost
>>128116327
This is my view on it.
I get it. And I get that a lot of people don't like the dub voices. And that's fine. Dual audio is always the best option because it gives people a choice to do it how they like.
The people I can't fucking stand are the "You're enjoying it wrong" types and the type who scream because Junpei calls Yukari Yukatan instead of Yukarichi. The former are mostly trolls and assholes, and the latter just need to learn Japanese already, because if you're going to read translations, you're already not getting the "original experience." You're already getting a tainted, altered experience and just because you hear the Japanese audio that doesn't match up with the English text doesn't mean you're staying true.
>>128116327
unavoidable localization is less of an issue than the bargain bin actors and nonexistent direction that plague most dubs
>>128116650
>>128117080
Theres so much more to a language than just a translation, even in dumb cartoons and games made for kids.
Theres intonation and timing that anyone can pick up on, whether you know the language or not.
Any comedy anime will never work with an english dub, its just not possible.
Also voice acting anime has got to be the bottom of the barrel for acting.
Anyone whos really good is voiceing shit like the Simpsons, or doing real acting.
subs arent perfect, but its better than a dub.
Games have an advantage where they can talk as much as they want with sprites and portraits.
Anything that needs to be lipsynched to match the mouths and scenes on screen are shit outside of the original.
P4 dub may be finebut inferior, but watch those cut scenes in it again, they're awful.
>>128117293
If your issue with dubs is the quality of the dub than thats fine, but trying to go "muh localisation" or "muh cultural purity" is retarded unless you understand Japanese
dubs> subs because I hate high pitched jap voices like rise's

>>128119840
But sometimes he gets it.
>>128119102
Liz's version is better tbqh
>>128119962
Shit's random, I remember being punished for going with either liberal or literal translations.
Why is he the one doing that shit anyway? Shouldn't that be the localizator's job or at least decision?
>>128119840
Trying to translate the joke correctly had a greater chance of failure but still sometimes worked compared to direct translating it which gives you a higher chance of success but less cash
>>128120181
Because gameplay.
>>128120201
It wasn't translating it "correctly," it was creating a similar joke in the new language that would fit. A literal translation would destroy the joke but took less effort and had no chance of failing.

>creating a similar joke
So the joke is dead no matter what?
>>128120710
Yu created /pg/?
> Beat P4G
> sad goodbye ending
> Keep getting sad music like Snowflake and Alone stuck in my head
> Now complaining about depression on a weeb imageboard
How do I break free of the depression spiral, /pg/?
>>128120783
I thought that was Nyarly
>>128120819
Sit around and complain about other fans and bitch that P5 isn't here yet.
Fuck persona, lets talk anime
>>128120819
protip: you dont
Now go back to your waifuposting
>>128120819
>sad goodbye ending
P4 doesn't have a sad ending, at worst its lightly bittersweet.
>>128121014
> p4 have no sad ending
Naoto dies when you dont kill adachi fast enough
>>128121178

>>128121230

>>128121343
again, how is that sad?
>>128120956
But Ai doesn't have any fanart.
>>128121178
I meant the proper ending, but yes the bad endings are pretty sad apart from the Naoto one.
>>128121440
Because it's not us
>>128121476
Ai has plenty of fanart.
Try being a Yuko fan
>>128121602
Good. I don't think being torn apart by shadows is a nice way to die. At least we have other choices.
>>128121476
She does, you just have to look harder.top tier taste lad
>>128121715
Its because all the P3 girls are so good she just gets drowned out.
>>128121716
What terrible taste. It's the only way.

>P3 girls
What.
>>128122105
There is no canon for her though
>>128122105
All of them bar Chihiro are top tier and she matures into top tier.
>>128122252
No I just misunderstood. I thought you were still talking about Ai and calling her a p3 girl.
