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

^ Aren't they (kinda) already due to the fact that multiple timelines are a thing?

Anyways, within Persona itself we already know that SMT:IF and the Devil Summoner series are canon since both series' characters have appeared in Persona games.

Persona Q has a weird implication that a post-game boss actually came from Etrian Odyssey's world. Most likely just a reference since it's a "crossover", but if you want to go crazy on the theories...

For the first time in Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker, I chose the Anguished One's way. On my previous playthroughs, I went with Daichi's way, because I didn't want anyone else to die, and I thought it was the better option than all the others. I also like all the characters too. So seeing Ronaldo just throw himself on the Anguished One, saying he couldn't his change his ideals, and the Anguished One's comment on some humans would rather die than change beliefs shook me.

In case anyone was interested, I'll leave this here.

So after almost a year of waiting, P5S has an english release date: Feb 23, 2021.

[Skull]

Huh, wonder what took so long?

Regardless, I guess I should go beat Royal whilst I wait.

never heard of this before, and


shut up and take my money!

[LegalLoliLover]

Ah, February is new game month.

[Mattias]

February is more "Holy shit we need to get the bottom line up before the new fiscal year next month" time. It's why you see so much rushed out crap and spin offs/sequels.

Or games meant to come out at Christmas that couldn't get a 10 gig day one patch and needed to get delayed.

Or Fighting games, for some reason.

[LegalLoliLover]

Which one of those is Azur Lane Crosswave?

[Draconic]

Hyped!

This is basically the appropriate reaction. It’s A. An actual sequel, not just a Warriors Spinoff, and B. They managed to make all the characters fun to play as, which is obviously not easy considering that Joker can still use multiple personas.

Honestly, the only flaw the game has is that Lavenza is alone in the Velvet Room, and we don’t get to work with Igor for real this time. I do understand that this is an intentional design choice though. The developers really loved Isamu Tanonaka. It’s a bit aggravating that we probably aren’t going to see Igor again, but it’s heartwarming the loyalty they’re showing him even ten years after he passed away.

The best part of the game is that we finally get to ride around on Johanna to turn enemies into roadkill.

[Mattias]

It's been that long? He must have gone right after P4 then.

[Tobias]

It’s actually not surprising, it would have had to be pretty early in P5’s development seeing as how that central games plot was essentially a meta pun based on the fact Igor had switched VA’s
