[P4AU] News & Gameplay Discussion

[swordsman09]

Probably still Death because she still uses Thanatos right?

[redsilversnake]

Probably still Death because she still uses Thanatos right?

Those with the Fool arcana can use any Persona, so her still using Thanatos wouldn't in and of itself be an indicator.

[swordsman09]

You make a good point there.

[Fistmaster049]

You make a good point there.

Same with Aigis who is fool but uses Athena who is a Chariot

[Narroo]

Right, I believe technically it's listing the arcana of the persona, like in the RPGs, not the arcana of the person.

[FluxWaveZ]

Right, I believe technically it's listing the arcana of the persona, like in the RPGs, not the arcana of the person.

Fistmaster049 just stated above that that's not the case. Shadow Labrys doesn't even have a Persona yet she shares Labrys' arcana.

When talking about P3 and P4 anyways, with the exception of the Wild Cards, Persona users share the same arcana as their Persona.

[destruction_adv]

What I really wonder is why using multiple persona suddenly became special in P3 and P4 when errybody could do it in the first two.

[FluxWaveZ]

What I really wonder is why using multiple persona suddenly became special in P3 and P4 when errybody could do it in the first two.

Persona powers obtained via Philemon (P1, P2) vs. psychologically/spiritually obtained Personas (P3, P4) would be a reason, if any.

[SolxBaiken]

What I really wonder is why using multiple persona suddenly became special in P3 and P4 when errybody could do it in the first four.

Hate to be a stickler but yeah:

Shin Megami Tensei: If... [the first true "Persona" title], Persona, Persona 2: Innocent Sin, Persona 2: Eternal Punishment

[madmalkav]

(...) with the exception of the Wild Cards, Persona users share the same arcana as their Persona.

This is how I see it. Wild Cards are probably teens with a lot of problems to develop their own personality or something like thtat.

Well as long as we're on discussion of arcanas. I was on the megaten wiki the other day, turns out the Isis that isn't owned by yukari is the magician arcana, while her Isis is lovers.

It's the same for many versions of different personae, actually.

Isis was Empress in Persona 4. I think Personas just shift arcana based on how the devs see fit for the game.

Makes sense to me. :P

[BlackYakuzu94]

...So does the fact that Sega bought Atlus mean anything for this game.

[Tokkan]

...So does the fact that Sega bought Atlus mean anything for this game.

Sega-Sammy (the holding company) was the company that purchased Index (and thus Atlus), not Sega (the publisher).

Also, not a damn clue but I'm not going make a judgement this early.

[SolxBaiken]

...So does the fact that Sega bought Atlus mean anything for this game.

That's news to me o.o

But really just that there will probably be a ver made for Sega's arcade cabinets (All-Net)

[BlackYakuzu94]

I say that because, speaking from experience, Sega have a bad habit of not bringing things over, especially if it doesn't have Sonic in its title.

I still remember Anarchy Reigns.

Again, I repeat myself: It was not Sega who purchased Index (Atlus), it was their parent company Sega-Sammy. Sega-Sammy the holding company and Sega the publisher are two separate entities that just happen to be related. It's best not to make assumptions at this point, we don't even know whether Sega-Sammy will fold Atlus into Sega or keep them separate.

What? Sega is just less risk taking [and I really do use that loosely---every main entry Yakuza game made it over plus Dead Souls, Valkyria Chronicles 3 may sadly be missing but the fact the 2nd one for PSP came still surprise and pleased me, Virtua Figther 5: Final Shodown, they decided to bring over a Miku game...I mean honestly that last one should be enough lol].

Honestly they'll probably keep Atlus pretty independent, especially with all of their success as of late.

I still remember Anarchy Reigns.

What about it? It came over, the only reason it [and Bayonetta] were delayed from the Japanese releases were the fact both games came out very late in the year, which is a near death sentence for smaller titles in North America, which is why they instead pushed them to early the following year [bayonetta] and Summer [Anarchy Reigns] and the latter got a SIGNIFICANT price reduction, something they DIDN'T have to do...

Sega is a better company than most people give them credit for lol but yeah back to P4U.

[BlackYakuzu94]

Yea, we are getting off topic, I just wanted to bring it up since it relates to this game.

[SoWL]

Anarchy Reigns was released in Summer 2012 in Japan and in Winter 2013 in the rest of the world, I have no idea what you're talking about

[TheYukianesa-01]

So what are the chances of us ever getting a Minat/ko DLC

they decided to bring over a Miku game...I mean honestly that last one should be enough lol]

After years of Western Vocaloid fans whining for them.

[Fistmaster049]

Pretty unlikely

At best they might give Yukari a Minako colour

Edit: On the subject of extras one thing I'm half hoping they add are alts for every character e.g.

P3 characters (excluding Aigis) get their P3 designs as alts

Aigis can have her uniform or her Answer look

P4 characters could have their summer/winter outfits

Labrys can have how she looked while she was still in the lab

and Shadow Labrys could have a damaged form e.g. half her face is missing terminator style

I thought of something lol

You say that Makoto is unlikely as a character but then talk as though alternate costumes for this game could be any likelier.

Heck I'd like seeing some new navigator stuff lol (crossing fingers for yukari nav. Partner)
