yeah, i'd say it is. each of the individual cases before the finale are pretty strong I'd say. I mean 70% of the characters are as thin as cardboard, but it's still a great game

What's Protag has the best design / is the coolest in the series?, What MC's Persona has the best design?, Which are your favorites all around?

My top five for each:

MCs
>Potter-kun
>Minako the-not-canon
>Yu
>Tatsuya
>Maya

Personas:
>Tanathos
>Apollo
>Izanagi / Izanagi-no-Okami
>Maia
>Vulcanus

Overall Tatsuya and Apollo are my favorites.
>>
>>88786194
man tasu persona is the coolest

also whats p1 dude persona name ?
>>
>>88786304
Ultimate is Osiris or somethin'
Initial I have no idea.

>>88786194
I like Aigis and Athena
>>
>>88786494
Guess she counts since The Answer is a thing
>>
>>88786194
I liked MC and Orpheus
Piercy was cool too
The Moon has a lot of well designed personas, Chernobog and Seth are good examples
>>
>>88786194
Maia and Athena are the only good looking protag personas, and Aigis was the only good protag.

Tatsuya was only good in EP, and Maya was only good in IS.
Piercy is inoffensively boring.
MC was just boring.
and Yu is offensively way too perfect and pandered to. Textbook shitty harem protag.

Ill never understand why people cling to the protags, but I want to blame Japan somehow.

>Ill never understand why people cling to the protags
Geez, anon, i don't know
Maybe because they were made to project yourself onto them so you could immerse yourself better into the story
>>
>>88787015
Anon, that's crazy talk.
>>
>>88786851
I think Tatsuya was good in IS too, that his design and dialogue options give way for your intuition and guess what he's like, but I get your point.

Maya on the other hand was the result of poor decision-making. If she already had a personality you can't simply strip it away, it makes little sense and feels forced and unnatural.
>>
>>88787015
Not him but I insert better when the dude I control has a personality.

Sure, give me dialogue choices, I love 'em, but there's no reason why you can't both have an MC with a personality and certain control over how he interacts with other characters and the story.

Self inserting in video games is great, but only if its a custom character with choices to make, or if its a well thought out character I can identify with.

the silent bland nobody doesnt do anything for me.

>>88787208
Ill give Tatsuya credit for being important to the plot, but not too central too it. The backstory with him and Maya and the other shrine kids was great.

That's just about every fandom related subreddit ever. It's a mix of "hey check out this cosplay i did", "check out this hastily drawn piece of fanart", "hey guys epik meme lelelelel."

>Shinto is the largest religion in Japan, practiced by nearly 80% of the population, yet only a small percentage of these identify themselves as "Shintoists" in surveys.[7][11] This is due to the fact that "Shinto" has different meanings in Japan: most of the Japanese attend Shinto shrines and beseech kami without belonging to an institutional "Shinto" religion,[12] and since there are no formal rituals to become a member of folk "Shinto", "Shinto membership" is often estimated counting those who join organised Shinto sects.

I don't visit this general often but could you please answer a question for me?
Well, I like P2 and P3 but P4 is not really my cup of tea. Is Arena or Arena Ultimax worth it? How is PQ?
>>
>>88798496
Arena and Ultimax are only worth it if you like fighting games, apart from that the story is shit so don't bother.

PQ is very fun, story is basically a throwaway, but the combat and fan service interactions between the P3/P4 cast are nice to see. It's worth it to play even just one side, so P3 for you.
>>
>>88798496
PQ is definitely worth it
Don't get arena if you don't like fighting games
>>
Are the other EO:s just like PQ aside from the fan service?

No. Unless you really like fighting games I don't see why you'd get it. The story is heavily P3/P4 but the storymode isn't considered that great.

PQ has better reception, it's a first person dungeon crawler and the gameplay is good. The story is alright. Most character interactions are fanservice, but it's entertaining fanservice.

A person with amnesia is forced to develop a personality once again.

Yu comes clean to Dojima at the police station during questioning (presumably?) and Dojima denies it, which isn't surprising, but he turns around later when he asks Yu to save Nanako.
On the second-to-last day, Dojima mentions the TV world and personas, so he is aware of them, but he dismisses them -- even though with Nanako's retrieval there isn't a reason to say that Yu's explanation for how he's been saving people was wrong.

Now that's an interesting guy to have for a Persona.

Amon-Ra's the one that his true self gives him, but if I had to make a comparison, it would sort of be like the Vulcanus Prime to Piercy's Seimen Kongou. In this analogy, Vishnu would be like Apollo, except whereas Apollo requires the Eagle Mask, Vishnu requires the Avatara.

Vishnu's the one that appears alongside him in all official art and is the strongest Emperor Persona, so most fans consider it his true ultimate.

I never bothered to get Vishnu considering how shit he was for the hard work you had to put for it.

I'd say the even if Dojima accepted that supernatural circumstances were the reason behind the case, and that Adachi was the one to do it, he'd still have to explain this all to the rest of the police station and later the court.

I mean I guess you could get someone on the IT to shove their hand in in front of the rest of the police as well and then get interrogated to hell and back. To absolutely confirm the IT's testimony would require going into the TV as well. Unless Adachi gets beaten up by the power of friendship and bonds, he doesn't confess, which means the thing has to be dealt with purely through beaurocracy. And I guess you have someone put themselves into a TV before the court. It all sounds like a bit of a drag.

The IT only remember the Yamano thing in December anyway, and Dojima's out of commission by then.

They are the worst detectives ever. They really should have been coming the whole damn world for clues

>>
>>88806607
Well what do you expect from backwater town detectives? They probably make their revenue in speeding tickets.
>>
>>88806732

you know that also something that bugs me.

With all the killings and kidnappings you'd think the town would be a bit more a buzz. Inaba is a small ass burg. This shit should have been a bigger deal.

They could have had the npcs grow colder and more distant as the year went on to really show how this shit was affecting them
>>
>>88806607
>They are the worst detectives ever.
Yeah they're pretty bad.

Though they're working the whole time on the assumption that the kidnapper is the killer so they only ever bother to ask the kidnapees about the kidnapping. Not asking Yukiko about Yamano was a huge mistake when everyone knew she was staying at the inn.

Though I guess if the IT ever made any headway it'd blow the story up.

>>88806923
They kind of do this, but the angle is more that Inaba gets really excited about whatever's happening at the present moment and forgets about everything else. By December everyone's forgotten about the murders because they didn't actually care, they just rode off the media high. I'm not sure the kidnappings were every publically announced as such (just unexplained absences). Something about the petty nature of man.
>>
>>88807178
>Though they're working the whole time on the assumption that the kidnapper is the killer so they only ever bother to ask the kidnapees about the kidnapping.

well there's that but cops also check out the crime scene too. The culprit could have left any number of clues behind for all they knew.

Fuck Adachi could have dropped his wallet by Rise's pole stage and they'd have missed it
>>
>>88807342
>Adachi could have dropped his wallet by Rise's pole stage
No he couldn't.

Because Adachi didn't push Rise into the television.

Seriously though the best they're going to get accidentally dropped in there would have been a chloroform rag.

What I'd want to know is how Namatame got access to chloroform. Can you just buy it or something in Japan?

Right.

But don't they also fight bosses in that room? That's going to mess shit up.

You're right that they didn't bother to check the scene when they should've and that they're shitty detectives, but I doubt it would've helped anyway.
>>
I think the larger problem is that for the most part the only people who got tossed into the TV where people who joined your party.

There needed to be more... "failures" for want of a better term. People the IT couldn't save. Just a few NPC people here and there to hike up the stakes.

Nametame was shoving people based on TV appearances and well a lot of people appear on TV, even locally

But then there wouldn't be a reason for Namatame to keep "saving" people.

No, he was shoving them based on the Midnight Channel appearances.

Mitsuo

Also he was shoving people in based on the midnight channel. The midnight channel is operated by whatever/whoever is the biggest talk of the town at the time, what people most want to see or know about. It just so happens that that's always going to be the same thing as the biggest news story.

>>88807948
Yeah. But they never say they do that to check the crime scene for clues. Rise/Teddie will just say 'there's a powerful shadow, go get rid of it! why is it there?' so they go to kill the shadow.

See that's a problem in and of itself.

Adachi tells Nametame to save people by tossing them into the TV.

He does so thinking he's helping but the whole thing revolves around Adachi knowing you'll turn around and save them.

First couple of times he has no reason to think this and as time goes on he has less reason to want you too.
>>
>>88808190
>Mitsuo

too little too late.

They should have peppered losses throughout. Maybe while we're too busy saving Kanji someone else gets killed.
>>
>>88808310
>First couple of times he has no reason to think this
He wasn't counting on anyone saving the victims, he was counting on them dying and driving Namatame insane.

>and as time goes on he has less reason to want you too.
What?
>>
>>88808538
>What?

Adachi has no reason for you to want to save people. He tosses them in so you can pull them out?

>>88808645
Causing an endless cycle, yes.
>>
>>88808310
>First couple of times he has no reason to think this and as time goes on he has less reason to want you too.
What do you mean?

Namatame deludes himself into thinking the TV is safe because he sees Yukiko on it looking pretty in her kimono and wants to think he can help someone somehow. He's still reeling with the loss of Mayumi and is trying to stop others from getting murdered even before he starts shoving them in the television (ie, Saki). Adachi knows this and nudges Namatame to help out by putting them in the television, basically doing his work for him without any risk to himself.

Since Yukiko comes back safe Namatame believes that he's right and the TV is safe, so he keeps doing it.

>Adachi has no reason for you to want to save people
It's funny, it's low-risk compared to shoving people in himself, and he's bored. He didn't know the IT would save the first person so he was probably just expecting for Namatame to do it and fall even deeper into a hilarious despair. But he was fine with the IT becoming a ragtag rescue group as well and was willing to just stand by and watch them as entertainment instead. That's even more fulfilling than just getting a one-off on Namatame.
>>
>>88808869
>Since Yukiko comes back safe Namatame believes that he's right and the TV is safe, so he keeps doing it.

right. and all it takes is one fuck up or botched rescue on your end and the whole game comes crashing apart.
>>
>>88809009
Yeah this. Once one of Namatame's "rescues" dies, he'll stop pushing them into the TV and probably do something else.
>>
>>88808190
There never really is a "crime scene." No one even knew where people were being kidnapped until Naoto joins. As for inside the TV. I guess you wanted the dungeons to have more of an adventure game segment to look for clues that weren't there in the original?
>>
>>88809372
>I guess you wanted the dungeons to have more of an adventure game segment to look for clues that weren't there in the original?

That would be pretty sweet honestly but no, Id just be happy with.

>Party members walk of and stare at a wall till you talk to them all
>Dang didn't find anything.

All I want is a bit more effort being focused on the actual mystery. The way it gets resolved isn't the climax to a game of guess who it's a game of "we ran out of named characters"
>>
>>88809009
>all it takes is one fuck up or botched rescue on your end and the whole game comes crashing apart.
Yeah.

And...?
Like, is Adachi meant to do something about that?

He's fine just watching the IT do their thing, so he doesn't have a reason to interfere. And I can't think of a better way to have a hands-off self-perpetuating almost-murder machine going than what Adachi's got with Namatame. If the IT fuck up then he gets a quick laugh and then has to come up with a way to get more people in there when he gets bored again, by himself, which is riskier.

>>88809372
>No one even knew where people were being kidnapped until Naoto joins
No, the IT knew people were getting kidnapped somewhere near their own homes since Yukiko. Naoto just adds the details that the kidnapper is male, using chloroform, and working alone.

>I guess you wanted the dungeons to have more of an adventure game segment to look for clues that weren't there in the original?
No. I'd rather just a quick line or two of 'well should we look for clues' 'sure' 'huh i didn't find anything'. I don't think they'd ever be able to find evidence in the bossrooms/TV.
>>
>>88809664

>>
>>88809664

well given he's for all intents the primary antagonist and this was all his plan..YES.

After 50 hours of game time it's rather anti climactic and disappointing to have the villain reveal his motivations where nothing more than "yeah it was funny"

I think the time between P3's release and P4's may have not been enough. I feel like P4 took the easy route in terms of story and making characters.

It sounds kinda weird to me, but that's just because I'm not used to it. I'd rather they just use what it's supposed to. It also makes Rise's line about "They call me 'Risette' and stuff and then turn around and treat me like a kid" make a whole lot more sense.

"Risette" is more cutesy, and does sound better to me as an English speaker, but knowing that her actual nickname is supposed to imply perviness and sexuality tells a lot more about her job as an idol than "Risette" does.

>>88812034

I guess the easy answer is that it's happy and panders with self-insertion and friends. It's probably also the right answer.

I don't really understand it myself and I'm a pretty strong P4fag. I wouldn't call the characters deep but I did find them interesting and liked them. One thing I really liked was the attention to detail in the setting, designs, NPCs ect. It's pretty cohesive. For the record I don't get why people like P3 so much either. The P3 plot/setting/characters don't interest me as much.

>>88812261

Whoops. I was about to correct that when your post came up. I figure it makes sense, since Narukami and Adachi both have him, and all three got their personas the same way. I'd have liked it if he could have joined the team to help you out, but there's no way at all that would be possible.

well I think the problem with 4 is that people seem to think that given a character an issue is enough even though the narrative does almost nothing with it and it's resolved faster than it's brought up.

>oh this dungeon represents Kanji's gay side he's gay that's so deep.

When he's not even fucking gay, and that aside the narrative has nothing to do with this.

He's afraid of people thinking he's a fag and what? That's it. That's the end of it.

I really wish they'd talked a little more about the fact that, not only is Kanji afraid of people making fun of him for his "girly" hobbies, but he also fell hard for someone he was pretty certain was a guy. He's also shown attraction to women, so I don't think he's gay, more somewhere in the middle, and it would've been nice for them to mention that.

More than that, though, I wish they'd done, well, anything at all with Chie's controlling nature after her dungeon. For how much they talk about how in control of Yukiko's life she was, I don't think she really acted like it after her dungeon. I think she changed too fast, and I'd have liked to have seen her try to be controlling of Yukiko, and even other party members and NPCs, longer as she takes time to learn to let go and stop trying to make their choices for them.

Most games at least interweave the characters story's into the main narrative and resolve it over the course of the story.

P4 introduces a problem and then resolves it just to get it out of the way. That's a problem because once it's all done with the characters default to a one note gimmick.

It's like the game doesn't want to focus on its characters anymore than it has too and as a result it all feels rather shallow

>He's afraid of people thinking he's a fag and what? That's it. That's the end of it.
Social link.

The main cast's character development all gets shoved into the social link instead of the main narrative. I really don't know why they did this, because it means the characters have to be shot into a point of their development and are stuck there for the rest of the game. The narrative can't know what rank of development the SL is on to make the characters act accordingly. Take Naoto, you have to go out of the way to start it and even in her first four ranks of SL she's chilly but at the same time in the narrative she's a lot more open. Eventually the SL catches up to the narrative but comparing her before and after her dungeon would almost give you whiplash with how different her behaviour is.

I think overall the SLs do a decent job of poking the issues that get brought up by their shadow, but the narrative doesn't do the same thing. If you want a somewhat cynical reasoning for that you could say that they don't want the characters to get in conflict with each other at all so they all just get shot up to a point where they're most open to banter. You could also say that it's just hard to do considering that most of the narrative scenes that aren't 'who could the killer be? someone got thrown in the tv again!' are comedy scenes.

I think the way they handled that was pretty lame overall though.

I don't know if this is true considering how rumor obsessed the MT fandom is, but I heard that Natsuki was supposed to be a playable character. Basically the hama user but was replaced by Ken.

Fucking Ken.
Every time. He always ruins shit.

I know that feel. Carry on, then.

If that's true, I'd have preferred if they kept Natsuki. Fuck Ken. Even beyond him getting Shinji killed, I don't care for him. Natsuki's way more interesting.

but the plot is literal shit and very basic. how retarded do you have to be to actually discuss these things?

>larger problem is that for the most part the only people who got tossed into the TV where people who joined your party.
uh no shit because tossing into the tv = tell a story about this guy and they dont have space to tell that many.

>I really wish they'd talked a little more about the fact that, not only is Kanji afraid of people making fun of him for his "girly" hobbies,
LOL they are not actually engaging gender issues you retard. homolust is not a plot point it is just a pandering point with fujoshits. it's not like japan has any sort of enlightened view of homosexuality to bother with a non caricature description.

all of your 'plot discussions' are basically retarded. please don't do it

you only like it because you associate it with lewd pictures of Rise, anon

I don't think making the resolution plot mandatory automatically makes things better. P3 had this but a lot of characters still largely ended up the same way.

Waifu talk is no less capable of degenerating into vicious shitposting.

Yes the megami tensei fandom. We have a very awful tendency to make shit up and spread it like it's the truth. Especially the Persona fandom. Like father like son, amirite?

>>88815389
but the only thing interesting in these games are the waifus. are you seriously going to discuss p3 metaphysiccs or p4 plot? these are very simple, linear constructs generating cheap drama and whatnot. if you want to discuss plot and writing do it for something that actually has them. it's like saying twilight or game of thrones discussions would be improved by avoiding shipping. they are what they are, entertaining set of fetish characters set within some random fuckall world.

Great fucking job, guys.
