Fuck waifusona

Checked!

where is the trap waifu

NO MARIE NO BUY

...

...

What the fuck is Persona

What the fuck is Persona and why do I keep hearing about it?

a VN with a grindy jrpg attached to it

I WANT TO suck FUTABA'S toes!

I WANT TO FUCK FUTABA'S LOLI PUSSY!

NO MARIE, NO BUY

she's not a loli

and all the porn of her is shit, i thought japs were supposed to be good at drawing

The user who did this was a madman.

Nanako is only waifu.

...

...

I would redirect your pedo ass to librechan but librechan is dead.

Come again? Waifu is not for sexual, user. I would kindly direct you to put your body into a woodchipper, feet first.

LOL

And what's so funny about that?

...

Fuck off, you're the worst Persona character.

I was walking home from work last night and I saw Marie coming down the sidewalk. I looked her in the eyes and smiled as I waved hello to her. To my surprised she stopped and said hello to me and asked me what my name was. I told her, and we chatted a bit before going back to our routines. She also gave me her phone number. I love Marie so god damned much.

...

JRPG about waifus and Jungian psychomagic.

...

...

Learn to RP.

Get a life.

...

I loved when I beat the final boss.

So, what's the verdict on Lyn's performance? Is Korean R&B singer preferable to J-pop stars? Miss Yumi, Shihoko, and L to the J already? For that talk of Shoji spending extra time making sure her pronunciation was on point, quite a bit of it wasn't. Still, I liked her, especially on Last Surprise.

I do miss Lotus Juice, though.

She did fantastically, it gives the game a really soulful and sad vibe.

Posting all the evidence that she's used goods.

Fucking great

Why do Persona girls have the best feet Holla Forums? Who else here footfag? :3

...

MOAR FEET!

post more orange inkling

Is that last pic Yukari or Toriumi?

It's shit

Yukari

DELAYED TO APRIL 4TH

DELAYED TWO MONTHS

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE PRONUNCIATION?!

I wish this didn't make me nervous.

UM, GUYS!?

But confirmed to feature dual audio.

twitter.com/PlayStation/status/798983662456868864

...

This worry me


Something is fishy

What's so fishy about it?

Better Yukari for you.

Well if they are going to shove in dual audio, then I guess that makes sense. Also do we have a full burger VA list? Maybe one of them got switched too.

It shouldn't take this long

Well, maybe they changed a bit of the dialogue in the dub. Maybe make it to where You can read it as a sentence instead of a paragraph. I'm saying maybe, remember that.

never played any of them before, which is the best to start with

Persona 2: Innocent Sin, either fan translated for PSX or officially for PSP, then Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, using the PSX translation.

I'm sorry, but I hate this question.

Jamiroquai?

Do you want to play all the games called Persona or just the games that play the way the series is now? Because 1 and 2 might as well be a different game series from 3-5.

Fuck me, how much are they going to (((Correct))) now

I'd be worried just in case.


It could also be the VA strike.

I want to bang redheads

Waifuism doesn't start until P3, so start there.


Try again. Remember the "VA" strike only covers one small union and only applies for EA, Activision, Take 2, etc.

wew lads

I think it's fine for a series where continuity matters little.

is that actually from the game?

Delayed 2 months to improve the localisation.

...

...

Any more predictions for two month delayed P5?

Futaba goes on Tumblr

Petition to Trump-sama to outlaw localization shittery?

One could dream

I'd just believe it's a programming issue. They're adding something to the game, the option for different audio, instead of just replacing text or sound files. I could see them taking the extra month and a half to make sure it all works well doesn't fuck up some other part of the game.

I'm really not sold on this idea cause the game came out two months ago in japan and they've had more then enough time to work out any shit they might of had.

...

Even so, there's still gameplay that evolves, so playing them out of order hurts older games.

was meant for

From what I heard recently, they're not ready for a February release, mostly because they haven't finished translating with the dub.

They weren't planning on having dual audio and didn't fit it into their schedule. It's not hard to believe that they've been in negotiations, recently got the green light, but now need more time to implement along with the other work they have to do on it.


The gameplay is so different between the only two games in the series worth playing P2 and P3 that the order you play them in shouldn't matter too much.

Nice to see that voicing opinions to Atlus actually worked and the West got dual audio after all.

I'm glad for you non-import anons who waited patiently, though delaying sucks, but hey, dual audio!

To be honest I had given up on dual audio because Atlus rarely if ever offers that possibility and I'm glad that I got proven wrong. Hopefully this doesn't mean that people have to specifically ask for dual audio for the future games. Atlus could take this as a hint that they won't lose nothing by adding dual audio in the future games.

They've already lost tgings, like all of their cute little advertising for "stealing your heart" on on Valentine's, now they've got to change their marketing material and plans that reflected it, the resources they had to invest in getting the Japanese audio, and now implementing it, and perhaps even more. It's more about seeing what this gains them, especially since whether or not they would give dual audio caused quite of a stir in the fan base, and now they need to see that because they provide dual audio that stops, and they need to see good sales come April.

who is doing the translation localization?

Atlus.

Alright, I've been trying to play through The Answer on and off for months, but it's just the most boring grind fest. Does it ever get better?

...

how many times have they fucked up a localization?

Atlas Japan made the game. Atlus USA translates it. They aren't a 3rd party.

And they've never "fucked up" a localization to my knowledge.

Well…possibly Tokyo Mirage Sessions, but there's a big asterisk next to that because it's highly likely all those changes were Nintendo mandated and I have very strong suspicions most of the localization was done by Treehouse and then a last minute final brush up was foisted onto Atlus right before launch because Treehouse had just gotten a ton of shit for the Fates localization right before that and Nintendo was trying to buy some cheap PR. I base this on the fact that news outlets were reporting Treehouse was doing the localization back at the end of 2015 and even early into 2016 and then suddenly a month or so before launch everyone starts reporting Atlus is doing it instead.

Other than apparently adding honorifics to some places where there were none in the original, and leaving some Jap in the original Devil Survivor, I haven't heard anything bad about AtlusUSA localizations.

Stella's glow was 100% uncensored and done by Atlus usa so some hope there.


Also despite me being super worried about the localization this might be cause of the VA strike.

VA strike was Union VA only and even if one were used, they weren't striking against AtlusUSA or SEGA if I remember correctly. AtlusUSA doesn't use Union VA.

Well that's something they don't use those cancerous growths in the union.

Atlus does not use union VAs, the "VA strike" is only a small, specific union anyway and is also in place against megacorps like EA, Activision, etc. So there is ZERO chance the strike caused this.

The problem is that apparently their ADR guy has no idea how some names are pronounced. Did you hear Ryuji and Yusuke's last names? Those are the only bad things I have to say about what I've heard so far.

Don't they have a pronunciation coach with them or something in the recording studio?

You tell me.

Listening again, it's not as bad as I remember, but there just more emphasis on each individual syllable, which stretches the name longer than it should.

Oh yeah. Everyone has noticed this. Almost all the last names are wrong. They're pronounced like an English speaker who has no idea how Japanese sounds, which is fucking weird because Atlus had no trouble with this in P3/P4.

Supposedly, they said they might rerecord that stuff after a lot of people pointed it out.

Get fucking smoked Holla Forums!

Go eat your pancakes, Goro.

These threads were super fun when the game first came out in Japan.

...

Turns out I'm full of shit. Apparently they had a stream where they said the delay was to re-examine the quality of the localization and fix things like the pronunciation issues people pointed out.

This tells me that there is no strong direction coming from whoever is responsible for overseeing the recording in the first place. At least, not by someone who knows what they're doing. read:a weeb

This is something I've worried about too. Did all the people who worked on P3/P4 leave or something?

Didn't AtlusUSA put out a big notice for work 3 years or so ago?

I guess it's been almost a decade since P4 was done. It's not that unlikely they'd have staff turnover in that time.

If your job is to voice act, you should at least fucking know how to pronounce Japanese. And they wonder why people don't take their strike seriously.

It's the director's job to tell you how to say it. I would not be shocked if the VAs said it right and then the VD "corrected" them. Typically, this is how it goes. Apparently one of the reasons for RE1's infamous VA is the Japanese voice directors who didn't speak English insisted on the cast speaking lines in a certain way.

That's even worse, since they should be more qualified.

I agree. I have a hard time thinking Matthew Mercer at the very least would fuck up a Japanese game because he's in so much weeb shit. still, even if he did it's ''still' the VD's fault for not correcting him.

Either way, the VD seems to be getting things wrong. Hopefully their stated reason for taking two more months is right and they start locking shit down.

...

That "cute" face she makes is so uncanny. It looks just like that in the game too.

You're already cute just the way you are sensei!

...

...

We had a shit ton of these edits did anyone save the others?

I have archives of the first six or so threads, if that counts.

Thought I deleted it but heres an older edit!

Nice the oc from those threads were top notch.

...

...

What does the name Akira Kurusu mean? I think Akira is male "light".

That user with the P5 models here, forgot to upload the files. I'll do it later.

Do so soon we've been waiting.

That looks… Beyond uncanny.

Vastly underrated. NICELY done


I really dug these threads, man. Good times.

...

...

How the hell do people make it through this shit?

I have no clue. The Answer is dogshit. Both the gameplay and story are terrible.

exhentai.org/g/996509/d549649a89/
I'm surprised Sensei actually has a doujin this fast, even before Futaba or Tae

Speaking of Tae, how's her route? And the other cake, reporter girl?

Tae doesn't have a route. Her coop rank goes up automatically during the story.

Wait, that's Sae, I got confused. Tae is pretty good, but I didn't really like the reporter.

...

Is Shidou going to make Japan great again? He even turns into a nip Armstrong.


Certainly not the face of mercy.

...

hotwheels plz

...

So, how are the girls other than Sadayo in the game?

pretty good

I would say there's not a actual bad one in the game. It's just Kawakami and Futaba are top tier.

Interesting, could you give me your ranking of the girls? From what I gathered, top 3 seem to be Futaba, Sadayo, and Makoto. I've not heard a peep about Chihaya, Hifumi, Ichiko, or even Tae since their Cooperation debuts.

That goes for other snobs who see this.

...

...

Did he stop being a door after P4AU?

...

No, he's still a door.

...

...

He really should have, if they were ever going to do it like they keep implying they will, that would've been the best time, wrapping up the last lingering plot thread and moving on to a new duology with P5 and P6. But instead the Arena games were wastes of time introducing one okay character and one shitty character.

But no, Blue-haired Jesus is still dead.

Game?

This would be nice I think we'd all love a adult persona, A single detective father with his own office party could be a cop you know from the force , your office sectary who'd like cake forms the forbidden romance but one between boss and employee.

Fuck Atlus make P6 about adults it would be a nice change up.

Made some additional parts as ideas for P6

The delay is not that terrible. Especially if they are gonna throw out jap dub for free.

mah nigga, but I'd kill for a persona with adult characters with different situations then what we'd see with teenagers.

Noice.
I'll probably keep the game rip around though. 10m of A RIVER IN A DRY LAND and all that jazz.

P5 user with the models here again.

Here's the models

mega.nz/#F!u1RHRLha!OihUBY5aGVT0YUm-0Izemg

There's 2 rar files:

One with only the models and another with only the textures. You have to figure out how do they work.

In the models folder there's 3 files: A fbx file, a genericmesh.ascii file and a genericmesh.rda. If you know how to 3dmax/Blender then good luck.

Loading the files in blender using the xps addon gives some weird textures, if anyone knows how to texture might want to check it out.

>tfw Makoto has trigger discipline
BEST GIRL (who is not a cake) CONFIRMED

…Oh wait, isn't she a yakuza bike?
Oh man but that trigger discipline. Red eyes are choice, too.

god bless you user

Not yet. That's the game over if you don't finish her dungeon in time.

Although, all of those are explicitly non-canon because being interviewed by Sae os the frame story which means everything has to have at least gone right up until November. So any bad ends there are written off as the protag tripping out on his drugs.

1. Maid Teacher Cake (Sadayo)
2. Futaba
3. Goth Cake (Tae Takemi)
4. Makoto
5. Anne
6. Dead Girl
7. that other semi-cake with the camera that no one cares about
XX. everyone else

HOWEVER
The ranking of quality does not overlap with a ranking of acceptable requirements

1. Maid Cake Sadayo = Lv2 Bravery
2. Anne = Lv.2 Gentleness
3. Futaba is more of a pain despite still having only one requirement, in that she NEEDS Lv.4 Gentleness
4. Dead Girl = no requirement, but you need to do a special set of stuff to get her link going
5. Haru (no one cares about Haru) = Lv.5 Skill
6. Ooya (the camera-girl semi-cake I mentioned) has zero requirements and her link give your +3 Charm for every rank up, so you'll likely be socializing with her just to be able to hook up with better girls. She is a stepping stool for better waifu
Everyone else is an uppity high-maintenance broad which requires high ranks of more than one stat

Goth Cake: Lv.2 Bravery & Lv.4 Charm
We believe Goth Cake's ridiculous requirement for charm AND her need for bravery means she is a virginal cake because her standards are too high
Makoto: Lv.3 Knowledge & LEVEL 5 CHARM
She is the worst, most demanding of the party characters when it comes to requirements
Hifumi (fatal frame lookin' girl): Lv.3 Charm & LEVEL 5 KNOWLEDGE
She is an inverted Makoto, so it'd unlikely you'll go for her while looking to Makoto.

So all-in-all, the top #1 is still Sadayo/Maid Cake. By the time you get to Futaba in the story you'll likely have Lv.4 Gentleness anyway since you need rank 2 to even start Anne's link, so she's not a bother.
Hence why Sadayo and Futaba are the most appreciated in these threads.

>Although, all of those are explicitly non-canon because being interviewed by Sae os the frame story which means everything has to have at least gone right up until November. So any bad ends there are written off as the protag tripping out on his drugs.
I don't know how to feel about this. It's hilarious on one hand and yet rips out any real tension in the story.
That's the real pain of in medias res narratives. It just ruins the whole suspense of things.

But I'm glad to hear she's still pure (mostly). Good.
…Though that's one brutal Bad End, man.

These threads are some of the best on 8/v/ thanks user I'll be posting more of the art book soonish.

You catch up with the frame story eventually. There's still a whole dungeon and the end game after it.

And yeah, most of the bad ends are pretty bad. Like Futaba killing herself.

I also just noticed that you really don't need much bravery to get a cake. True to real life.


They are fun, right?
Looking forward to those art pics

Yeah I heard about Futaba. That's brutal.
Not as brutal as becoming a yakuza bike and wanting to die, but still really brutal.

I remember when I thought P4's cast being hanging corpses was bad.

...

I was so, so relieved when Sae questioned MC on Makoto being drugged and raped into a whore. She's not even my waifu, but god I cared way too much when I first heard about it.

I'm sure this is getting dangerously numale-tier, but god I wish I could be able to love all the girls without getting my shit kicked in. Not haremshit, I just want to be in a big cuddlepile with everyone I love.

P5 crimson having female joker? one could wish.

NO I DON'T, COCKSUCKER!

That's not numale, user. It's more manly to be with one girl you deflowered but I can see why. This is a buffet of waifu for the first time.

Sadly, the MC this time is not nearly as slick as the original Arsene Lupin. He also drastically pales in comparison to Bancho-sama-san-coon-oniichan-san-sensei.

When will persona series come to steam and gog?

I don't like playing as girls ever, but I could dig being a cute Joker who looks like that. Would make the story interesting to replay.

It's in the clutches of SEGA and Sony, user.

...

...

We had a joke a few threads back about Goro deflowering fem joker while wearing the get smoked hat.

Speaking of Sae and Makoto, what's the deal with the possessed Sae? Looks like a turbo slut and the demon possessing her - Leviathan - is linked with Envy.
And still couldn't get a good look at her boss form. Halp artbook-user. Sphinx mom too please. :^)

Believe me, I would be with Futaba for life. And yes, there will be nights of fucking her silly as well as indulging her on whatever fetishes she acquired through years of browsing whatever the Personaverse equivalent of exhentai is.
But I just want everyone to be happy.


Thanks

Get poked*

Look here

Get creampied

Maybe P5 The Crimson will allow a harem ending.

I want threesome with Futaba and Sadayo

Hilariously, he doesn't find out until Valentines day. He's actually really happy to close up shop early on that day to let the MC's date come over and gives him encouragement…unless his daughter shows up. Then he becomes incredibly less enthusiastic.

Come on, don't make me piss off Rusty Venture, man.
that didn't rhyme you dip


Pottery?

I can imagine some parody of based off this.

*bow chicka wow wow*
Yeah, I get the feeling I'm gonna love this game.

...

its great.


You're fucking his kid and tearing her pussy up its a dad thing.

Don't give me that dad shit. I guarantee he never makes a single bad joke in the game.
I should've specified I wouldn't plan on fucking Futaba out in the open like that. No, that's a lie, the thought of picking her up, yanking her panties down, and fucking her right then and there is too hot to not do.

...

ITS SHIT but cute

...

Of all the girls, Futaba is the only one who didn't just buy her box of chocolates at a store or slip it into some lazy bag or shove it in a faceless black box.

She actually crafted the candy sack on her own, making is especially look like your cat.

If you don't pick her on Valentines Day but still romanced her, when she shows up on the 15th she actually breaks down crying telling you this.

Any anons bought the nip version?

How are you liking it? I came to persona quite late, didn't play any of them until 2013, then played them all and branched to Shin Megami Tensei as well. I don't care about spoilers since I'd been spoiled straight or subtly to all the others as well during years on the boards. I just want to hear if it's good, since the aesthetic looks amazing and exactly what I've wished for years to play as graphics have caught up to make cartoon-like games like this and Ni no Kuni.

its fun

I can just imagine this
Trying to have it all will leave you with nothing


Fuck that's sad. They're really going all out with the waifuing in this one aren't they? I'll still be picking the cake though.

Yeah, they all text you the night before Valentine's Day (or the day of, I forget), and you can only choose to respond to one. Then the rest you are dating all show up the morning after.

NO MARIE, NO BUY.

Wow, thanks a ton for delivering user, that was better than I expected.

NO MARIE, NO BUY shitposting is the only good thing about these threads.

...

I'm still mad about how easily could've been best girl, Or at least, far superior to how she is, with just a few tweaks.

Yeah
Meh

You really miss out on a lot by not knowing moonrunes.

That said, here's a full game translation walkthrough thing from an user:
pastebin.com/x6QXNXvd
archive.is/BfNyQ

But user it has better than Marie


It has Goth Cake Marie

Why would you buy it if you don't know moon?

I have my reasons

You wanted to be part of the bandwagon because Atlus wasn't sure about dual audio then, right?

...

Atlus gave up on the Soup Nazi shenanigans from Perseinfeld 2 for this?

not even that necessarily
The bad ends are basically succumbing to the drugs and miss remembering events.

I laughed

Wasn't she suppose to be the embodiment of the Mary Sue? That's what I assumed why her name was Marie and she was constantly making it about herself. This is from watching the anime though and not playing the game. The anime was awful, both versions.

I thought they would fix the problems of the original with Golden but they made it worse. It was a hack job that didn't try to make a more coherent story with Marie involved, it just cut any plot story and sidelined episodes or replaced the original characters with Marie instead. If this was your first time involed in anything Persona 4 related, you'd have no clue of the plot unless you've seen the original animation or played the game. There were some good moments but overall, it was a terrible adaptation of a mediocre game.

Persona 4: The Golden Animation =/= The Golden the game. In the anime, yes, they shoehorn all the plots to be about Marie and insert her where she wasn't (even in the Golden version of the game). That's why the only episode of The Golden anime that isn't shit is the Christmas one, where she isn't involved at all.

The Golden (as a game) tacks on her plot, but doesn't add her anywhere she wasn't before. And things like the beach trip and Fireworks festival don't involve her in the game.

Best accident ever

By the way, does anyone know if Bloody Vanguard is worth keeping? Does it work with Myriad Arrows, or only with single-target attacks?

Bitch/whore detected!

Actually I have plans to turn a profit thanks to P5's certainly rabid fanbase to come and the Japanese limited edition.

...

...

Twitter granted my wish. Looks like hardcore dakka Aegis.


That got a good laugh from me.

can someone translate that image?

Waiting for this game has turned me into a weaboo because I am massively jealous the nips get it first.

Sounds good I hope we get it in english

...

That looks stylish as fuck.
I think I'm subconsciously forgetting this is a turn-based RPG and when I get the game, I'll probably be a little disappointed it's not a action game.
In any case, I'm already looking forward to P5A, especially if they can put Shidou and Leviathan.

...

It's so fluid that you'd think its a action rpg but thats how good the turn based gameplay is.

almost fucking caved to figure-collector faggotry when I saw this.

how does she pick anything up

So, is there a harem punish in the game?

Yes. All the girls you romanced but didn't spend Valentines with all come to kick your ass the next day. And Futaba breaks down crying.

...

...

I liked Persona Q and I'm a "persona fag"

I thought PQ was a nice change of pace after P4's boring and easy as fuck combat. FP dungeons and maps were odd, but I got used to it.

In case you were wondering, started with P3, did P4, then P1 and 2. Like 2&3, dislike 1, really dislike 4, like Q gameplay, but hate story.

Persona Q was by far the best thing to happen to Persona since the OT.
This IP shines the brightest when it gets to have a dev team that actually understands what it means to build a party and dungeon-crawl.

I will say the only thing I liked about Golden was Marie's dungeon, designed by the SJ team.

What?

Bump.

persona 3
day 5/26 & level 11, doing a mostly blind first playthrough
neko 8
ara mitama 7
angel 4
apsaras 5
alp 7
pixie 2

I can't seem to make anything near my level besides a chimera 9 or a valkyrie 11, but I would lose 3 demons and garu/bufu which seems to the weakness for the 2nd floors,any recommendations?

Just keep on. Some early levels are dry spells since you have very limited access to arcana and level. You should be fine for May.

Another thread bump.

I just want to fuck the cheesecake.

You know, the apple pie.

You mean a velvet cake?

confirmed for never learning how to play

What a fucking retard. I knew how to change AI styles, buddy, the AI was still retarded as fuck. Full party control was a god send.

best purseowner

eventually, I have to release some of my Persona 3 mods… I changed a quarter of the audio with that of the P3P female protag… just because why the fuck not…

I didn't say they were better than direct, but marin karin at least is something you will never see if you know how to play.

Yeah, because you shouldn't use Mitsuru for support when you have better options for it. But even still I was just using the comic to justify my point about direct control.

I like cakes.

OP of the launch day thread here. Thanks everyone for making these threads the best I've ever been in, from the very first "GORO IS THE TRAITOR" post to today.

Futaba best girl. I would be her key item.

Its over pack your bags and learn moonrunes

I'm fucking done. No more heroes, no more second chances. This was thew last olive branch. Preorder cancelled and I am selling my consoles, fuck videogames I'm picking up chess.

...

It's over.

When the fuck will people learn that Kanji wasn't homosexual? He clearly still wants to fuck Naoto. For god's sake, his dungeon was about feeling like a bitchboy instead of a man. The whole homosexuality thing was Japan being Japan with its "dudes can't love dudes, but god i want to watch my wife get fisted by a lesbian" shtick. Plus, have these fucks ever heard of bisexuality?

I wouldn't hate this shit so much if it weren't for how bro tier Kanji is. Get fucked Yosuke, Emperorbros are the new Magicianbros.

Im not going to cuck out and just let the publishers censor my games. If p5 is cucked i'll let them know they lost money.

Is the issue that narcissist fags NEED to interject their degeneracy in anything that seems like it has the slightest opening? Game is about the characters, not you.

What is the issue with this other than Atlus's attempt to "localize" the character with theor efforts?
Kanji is not gay, he is just tough guy with feminine hobbies which why he gets bullied by girls who call him queer for liking knitting.
Also it is stated that Shadows don't represent the character sexuality or needs, rather they posess how others view you. Also the dude likes Naoto, so he is not gay. In the end he doesn't others define him and accepts himself.

Speaking of "gay" characters, how could they forget to mention Jun or Yosuke? Instead of speaking how Kanji ending up ambigouous?

...

This is probably the only instance when they manahed to make altered version look cool. Must be the shades and jacket and that smug. Doesn't mean that I accept the changes, but understand why it was done.

It makes a slightly sad that people forget Persona 1 & 2 exist. The series started to get more popular when 3 was released, I get that and when people talk about Persona they mostly talk about 3, 4 (and 5). Rarely about the first 2.

1 sucked and is better off forgotten like a game dev's first project, and only half of 2 got re-released westward on a handheld console no one gives a shit about. It sucks, but there's not much we can do.

We got both parts of P2, just at different times on different systems.

Didnt they release some trailers presenting some characters of P5? How bad was the translation localization?

Which is worse, idiots insisting Kanji is gay, or idiots insisting Naoto is a tranny? Or the idiots who insist one is true but not the other for the same reason? (Just because the Shadow is x doesn't mean the person is)
Yoskue doesn't really want to kill everyone and Yukikio isn't really a whore, and these people will agree with that, but by their own logic they shouldn't. So many fucking people missed the point of the Shadows so damn badly.

We all know rise is the whore

I know that, but I was referring to the chance for P2 enter the public conscious of Persona. I'm not expecting the fans of Persona today to pick up the PS1 games.

P1 is the best fucking persona game and you know.it.
