Great news. Hopefully they don't end up delaying a US release due to art book problems and such.

@futurebiblehero: See, that was funny because I'm always proselytizing for SMT games and it's Ingmar, not Ingrid. She was in Casablanca. Get it? No? No. I cry when I masturbate.

Seriously though, every time I view these videos I make baby noises. My enthusiasm murders any prospect of saying anything remotely insightful, so I'll just say that I hope Atlus of America decides to let their awesome run with the PS2 go out with a bang.

For those of you who have yet to finish Persona 3: I was in the same boat until just recently. I had gotten to Jan 3 in the game calender, at ~82 hours. FES had just been announced, and I said to myself "why not just wait and play that?" But, I finally started getting back into it a few weeks ago, and put in a final 16-18 hours or so to finally complete the game (grinded to lvl 99 on main char, select support chars for final boss fight up to mid 90s, way higher than I needed to be :P). It was totally worth it, for me, just to have the sense of accomplishment from finally FINISHING the game. When I was done, I asked myself why I had stopped playing in the first place, the answer to which was that I didn't want to grind anymore. But for those close to the end and sick of Tartarus (much like I was at that point), who haven't unlocked Monad yet, once you finally open it up you can gain levels amazingly fast, provided you run away from the fights you can't win easily.

Now I just have to figure out what to play next, waaay too many options. My "pile of shame" (games I buy but don't finish or even start) is pretty huge, heh.

Good Atlus. Step one is complete.

Now for Step two. A simultaneous english release when P4 comes out!

Afterwards Step three- Become male models.

I loved the dungeons! I also miss the evoker (buu buu), but the style of the game is still awesome! Wow, and Margaret is way better than Elizabeth! <3
I wonder if you have to enter on the dungeons through the tv...

Can't wait to get the game in july!

@zerokoolpsx: From what I understand the evokers were for those who are too weak to draw forth the powers of their personas without them.

Granted though it was a nice artistic touch to the game / atmosphere itself.

Now after watching the trailers, I hope they include the Japanese soundtrack if they release a US version. I knew something was lacking when I was playing through P3 and that was it.

I kinda miss the whole evoker/head shooting in there, can't wait for it to come out. I wonder if have different places for dungeons, and of course, more girls to date. I hope you can at least control your allies, and the MC dying doesn't mean a game over.

Also am real interested to see how the shadows are delt with in this story also.

Just finished watching the second video. Real good stuff. Only about 3 more months to wait too! This is how games should be announced man. So the wait doesnt 1: bore us to death, 2: they actually have some real shit to show, 3: really gets folks ready to buy the game.

I guess I'm doing as everyone here did, stop playing P3 when FES was announced.

It seems to me as though they are doing the same thing as in Persona 1&2, make similar games with little connection to each other. Maybe 5&6 will be similar on PS3, five years from now.

Mokai — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 16:31:06 MDT

@GwennBlackfeather: That's my guess too. I can only assume that they're going to try to keep P4 in the same Canon world/time as P3, so they're gonna need some valid excuse for characters not shooting themselves in the head anymore. Glasses evokers are a logical choice like Koromaru had a collar evoker.

Like many others here, I have to seriously finish some Persona 3. I might just finish it after I get FES - play it with the new content.

Persona 4 is looking sexy, and the music still sounds great, but I'm hoping it won't feel exactly the same as Persona 3..

mariospants — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 16:16:29 MDT

meh, as they say. I'd rather watch the DVD. 1.5 minutes into the promo and nothing but black clouds. 3 min in and a lame music video on a Max Headroom TV. The rest is just talk talk talk talk talk. This is supposed to be a video game?

Hmm me want very much, though I really need to get around to beating persona 3 before fes comes out, I have a love hate relationship with it though, get beat by some boss because my main character dies don't play for a few weeks.

tenken — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 16:04:05 MDT

My FES is pre-ordered, and if P3 is half as good as I've heard, the purchase of Persona 4 will already be in the bag. I like the newer art style of P3/P4; the characters don't look like scary mannequins anymore. Now, it's a nice mix of the anime look, modern stylings, and a sort of slight painter-ish feel that I think fits the series well.

Also, VIVA PS2! If the PS2 actually gets a price drop, I'm gonna buy myself a new one, just because. (As in, just because the PS3 is dicking around with backward compatibility.)

@Afore Notation:
Looks like the glasses are the new Evokers, from what I can tell...but I'm not certain.

And if I'm right, instead of shooting themselves in the head to evoke the Personas, they...squint? Cool.

baxterpunch — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 15:05:02 MDT

Well, that proves it, I STILL don't know japanese.

Of course, knowing the language may not be the only prerequisite for understanding what was going on there.

Did P3 have the same anime style cutscenes? I always mean to pick up last game, but P3:FES is coming out soon, no?

@AstrayPenguin:

It's everything that is wrong with the latest persona stuff? Besides FES, there has been all of 1 persona game in the last 6 years.

There's nothing indicating that there will be bland dungeons or repeating dungeon floors in Persona 4. Not going to bother to touch the other comments. I'll wait and see before I pass judgment on this game.

@mossberg: I agree.

hrunting — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 14:13:35 MDT

I was kinda worried but they included a guy stuck in a trash can and the game play looks to be almost the same, so I'll certainly keep an eye on this.

AstrayPenguin — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 14:05:11 MDT

Looks like P3 in a new setting.

I got bored of repeating random dungeon floors and the fights were rather bland. I'd rather have a real SMT game than another Persona, especially one I already played gameplay wise.

The theme song is horrific too, it's everything that is wrong with the latest Persona stuff, it just has no real depth to it and seems aimed at teenage girls.

Glad to hear im not the only one who hasn't finished P3 yet in a long time.

About P4, I like the way you cruise around the town & school. Hopefully there huge enough to explore, like your traditional RPG. That would be really cool!

Looks like this time, instead of Dark Hour and Tatarus, you enter the other world via a TV set. You can only do that on a rainy midnight.

I liked the randomly generated dungeons in Persona 3.

Dammit. I still need to beat P3. I played it up until about December 2 or so (game calendar) and clocked about 100 hours into it, then I had to go out of town for about a week and I never played it again.

I wish I knew why they (the characters) all wear glasses at some point or the other in these trailers. Anyways, this games looks exactly like P3, but heres to hoping they improve on it. In fact, here is a bet:

If this game has randomly generated dungeons, then God isn't real.
If it doesn't, then he might just be real and I am going to hell.
