SMT/Persona: General Discussion (P4 Arena, P4 Golden, P5, SMT: IV, Etc.)

[asterism42]

Fun fact: the song that plays in the house after Nanako is hospitalized is called 'Alone' in the OST

[Tobias]

If you scored really well on the test, you might glance around nanako’s chair

...uh... no reason

just in case imouto had been preparing to surprise Onii-Chan with a gift if her faith in his intelligence was rewarded

[TomPen94]

Are you experiencing the emptiness that is not having Nanako greet you every time you come home? That was one of the most difficult parts for me, it feels so empty.

When I get home I stay a good 5 seconds before doing anything because I keep waiting for Nanako's dialogue to come in.
No one's home. The fridge has nothing. The TV is turned off... It is getting to me...

I did get the highest score but I'm not finding anything. That a Golden thing?

[Solomos]

It shouldn’t be. I think you check after the test results have been posted.

[TomPen94]

WHAT THE FUCK

EDIT: Oh... oh thank god...
What a fucking scare...
I waz fucking crying over this....

EDIT: Of course it's Adachi. I'm brushing on endgame territory here and I kmow he's important to the plot, he's done absolutely fuck-all so far, so it's gotta be him.

EDIT:

I think I missed the chance. I went for Magatsu Inaba as soon as the chance was there. That's on the day the scores come out. As soon as I beat Amenosagiri, it skipped to Christmas eve...

Spoiler:

Hmm... Sometimes making these tough choices is worth it.

Nevermind I can move around.
And shit... That hit me...

[the god of world-0]

I see you are a men of culture like myself

[Tobias]

It is nice to meet a fellow scholar and gentleman....put her in the cat costume. If you are dating her she will straight up nyaa

[the god of world-0]

But there are no costumes in Vanilla p4 right? I only played golden so i won't know but i think that's it.

[Tobias]

Oh right.

...Sometimes things are beautiful because you can’t have them

[TomPen94]

Yup, no costumes in vanilla P4.
Weird cuz P3 has them...

Going for True Ending now. I would've missed it if Amenosagiri didn't feel so anti-climatic. Also the required steps are easy to miss.

[asterism42]

I appreciate that people like her, but I find Naoto's romance kinda uncomfortable, mainly for the BUT U R A GURL moments

Very Fate route Shirou

[the god of world-0]

then again, it's naoto. there is no way you can put her in a dress against her will.

[Tobias]

Actually in the golden if you go through the steps to have her dress up for Christmas, you unlock her dress as an outfit. In subsequent play throughs, if you put it on her, especially before you are dating, she in noticeably confused at how you procured a dress that fit her, let alone had her put it on

[TomPen94]

Spoiler:

Gladly- What do you mean you're joking?!

Aaaaand that was that...
Gotta say I got kinda scared when the game dropped me on March 20th. I knew I hadn't gotten the True Ending, so I thought I had screwed up something along the way. But then I saw that it was hidden for people who really wanna fight what the game says you should do.

Tbh kinda random to bring the gas station attendant right at the very bitty end but it was at least far more satisfying of a final boss than giant-rainbowy-eyeball.
Gotta say though... that soundtrack didn't do the fight any favors. Too quiet. Certainly no Battle for Everyone's Souls or even Jaldabaoth/Our Beginning.

Onto some musings about the game.
Unpopular opinion: Kuma wasn't an annoying character, I thought he was very likeable and well executed.
Best Girl: Nanako, who is also the best character.
Best Waifu: Naoto
Best Boy: Yosuke, dude basically conducts 90% of the investigarion until Naoto joins the gang.
Best Dungeon: Heaven
Best OST: Heaven and SMILE-Reincarnation
Best Story arc: From Nanako's kidnapping until the reveal of the True Culprit, I was pretty dang invested.

Alright... finished with P4. Will try Golden if I ever get my hands on a Vita. In fact it'll probably be the only reason I would want a Vita in the first place. But it's not gonna be in the near future. Definitely not at least until I'm done with P5R.

[Skull]

Any plans to play more SMT games in the meanwhile before P5R comes out?

[TomPen94]

I wouldn't call them plans but I am interested in playing more of the franchise. Not just Persona but SMT as well. If it comes before P5R or not, not sure. That game isn't that far off and there are other games I need to get back to.

[Lily Emilio]

Play Persona 2 for the lores.

You just inspired me to start a new P4G playthrough... except I just found out my poor Vita needs a new charger. RIP

First playthrough was Yukiko route, no regrets.

Devil Survivor would be a good transition
