what is persona?

[Samael]

I'll take good and overused over crap and unknown any day.

Also, you're gonna hear a lot of familiar voices. Notably, MC is voiced by JYB, who also voiced Ichigo(Bleach), Kuhn(G.U.), Emil(ToS2), Guy(ToA), Lelouch(Code Geass) and played the second Black Power Ranger, Adam. Yosuke is voiced by Yuri Lowenthal, aka Persona 3 MC, Haseo, Sasuke, Luke(ToA), Cecil(FFIV DS) and a bunch of others.

And yes, Teddie is voiced by the same guy who voiced Gaspard. However Teddie is much funnier than Gaspard. Much, much, much funnier.

There's a load of other notable voices as well. Though tbh, they all do a fantastic job, especially Rise's, who far outclasses her Japanese voice actress(MY EARS! DAMN YOU RIE KUGIMIYA!).

[Kyero Fox]

yea of course you would rather hear good VAing than new and horrible, but they should atleast try Auditions (bad spelling atM) and try to find new talent @_@

anyways, im heading to the game stop a few miles away to get my Person3 and 4 copies i have on hold there.

[Kyero Fox]

i see nothing wrong with the VA's in P3 =\ I think the main chars VOice suits his look, the Lonewolf look.. like Setsuna on Gundam 00

[Samael]

'~SEEEEEEENPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIII'

*eardrums rupture*

There's high-pitched and then there's ****ing ultrasound.

It's not that I don't like Rie Kugimiya usually. She's quite good in her various other roles I've heard her in.

But Rise? The one time she did really good was when she was doing mopey tofu Rise, when the voice was about normal. There on out the voice just got higher and higher pitched and my eardrums decided to commit seppuku rather than keep going.

That, and this is pretty much opinion, but Kugimiya really didn't suit Rise. Dunno why but she just didn't seem to.

[Samael]

You're biased.

Ahah.



Just look up the True Final Boss in Japanese and wait until it enters the scripted bit.

My poor ears...

[Kyero Fox]

I like Rise's english voice more than her japanese version >_> her japanese voice sounds like shes 5 years old ><

shes also my fav female char, lol shes my Person 4's Alkaid

[Kyero Fox]

I liked Rise, but near the end I found myself liking Naoto way more. Even Yukiko got kinda higher than Rise near the end. I think I was just disappointed by Rise's social link. I want to play the game again and go for someone else as a girlfriend.

whats wrong with Rise's social link?


also, why are the endings of Persona games always so depressing? (as in sad but good)

Because life doesn't always go the way you want it to. This is a another reason why i like persona one of the few games with a sad ending. Happy endings are always expected but when there is a sad ending. It reaches you more. Persona 3 ending was perfect. 4 was good too.

not that I don't like sad endings, I just think the ending should depend on who u romanced with. or somethin close.

That's such a cliche ending though.

[Samael]

Cliche does not necessarily mean bad.

And how was P4's ending actually sad again? I mean I give him a month, tops, before he snaps, runs back to Inaba and more wacky hijinks ensue.

That or Rise will snap, run to the city dragging everyone else with her, and more wacky hijinks will ensue.

Either way, it's pretty much guaranteed that they're all going to reunite for more wacky hijinks ensueage. It's not like the train blew up as he was leaving or something.


And saying he leaves isn't spoilers because you know he's only there for the year from the start of the game. Spoilers would be mentioning Naoto's true gender, even though it's an 'Aeris dies' or 'Rosebud is the sled' kinda thing now, not helped by her English VA not really trying to make her voice sound remotely male.

lol why would RIse drag everyone with her? it would be her chance to get with him XD

[Samael]

Because that's what friends do.

Even if she didn't drag them with her, they'd all find some excuse. 'You're borrowing my hairbrush' 'I made you that stuffed toy.' 'I have a gun.' etc.

And then for more wacky hijinkiness, rather than go by name, he'd just be sitting in class one day when some guy would tap him on the shoulder and go and say:

'Hey, there's some weird chick in a raincoat, sunglasses and a scarf asking for ya. Says she's 'Kanzeon', and she's brought along 'Susano-o', 'Suzuka-Gongen', 'Amaterasu', 'Rokuten Maou', 'Kamui' and 'Yamato Takeru', as well as 'Kohryuu' and 'Sraosha'. I don't get it, but...hey where'd ya go?'

Nothing was left of MC but a dust cloud and a note saying 'Gone out for wacky hijinks. May not be back for some time.'

[Kyero Fox]

If i were the MC I'd find some way to get them all together and show up dramaticly or something


I was thinking someone should make a Persona RP for fun =\

btw are there any othere other kind of games like these? i mean the SIM/Fighting stuff I like this game a lot specialy because of the SIM

There aren't many that's why this game is so popular.

[Samael]

Closest you'll get is Mana Khemia for PS2. The set-up is basically a watered down Social Link system restricted to party members, a very interesting turn based battle system and the usual Atelier-esque game's NIGH-ENDLESS alchemy system.

i FINALLY BEAT PERSONA 3 I'm so happy. I think my mom took what nyx said to heart because she has left me alone and took time to ask what the game was about. Everytime they said the fall she thought it was talking about Autumn. so I'm happy she changed a litte.

i'm stuck playing Persona 4 for some reason, Is that a bad thing? I do plan on playing P3 after tho lol

btw, anyone else have friends or family that questions "why did that guy just shoot him self in the head?"

I felt like nothing happened in her social link. She was being a bit immature through most of it and her problem was basically "Should I be jealous of someone more popular than me or not?". Aside from that, the only thing that happened was her going over the same things we already went over with her Shadow. Most of the other characters had more going on but this just seemed to be the same exact thing. Add it to the fact that I only went for her in terms of romance and I didn't get it until late in the game, I was pretty let-down.

As for your second statement, didn't you just say you are currently playing P4 and haven't played P3 yet? Yet you know the endings? Epic failure for spoiling yourself, watching these games unfold for yourself is 70% of the fun.

i'm stuck playing Persona 4 for some reason, Is that a bad thing? I do plan on playing P3 after tho lol

I'd say Persona 3 is better but neither is really directly connected so it doesn't matter which you play first. Do expect a bit of a step-back in terms of how polished things are when you go to P3 as P4 made several changes and improvements. But, at least in my opinion, expect a better story with better characters and pretty presentation.

well I didnt SEE the endings, I heard they were sad and depressing.. and even if I did see the endings it doesn't matter to me, I know alkaid was gonna be PKed before i got to that part and it still made me sad. putting it short, spoilers don't spoil it 100%

EDIT: Coming up with a Character is tough for persona, I had a rock star in mind or Movie acter, or a normal person with problems =\
