I don't plan on buying this, so I'll be posting here about the game.

[up][up] they made it more...blurry?

...why?

I'm gonna guess it's because they're screenshots directly from the game as opposed to the trailer itself, like the ones on the left.

And it looks like I only got one. Full post.

So they were made brighter?

That's it. That's the big change?

I meant look at the facial expressions. Smiles -> serious faces.

I am too enthralled by chibi Koro to notice the other pleibians.

It's a little difficult to see, but the frowns are there.

Difficult to see? Just look at Teddie, his unhappy smile is kinda obvious.

Well, the intial trailer was to be "YAY HAPPY CROSSOVER TIMES" while the game itself, if judging by the creepy imagery, probably won't be so much.

these are some rather baffling changes.

especially since it seems accompanied by distinctly lower quality artwork(?)

The footage that's actually on the 3DS cart's probably just compressed a bit to fit.

Or the uploader has a shitty comp and it didn't upload right.

I bet it's both compression and a bad computer that's to blame for the blur.

Anyway, showed this in the main thread, but didn't seem to get much exposure; here's some interesting start-of-game gameplay from the latest Persona Stalker Club:

A prominent Persona Tumblrist currently living in Japan thinks that the beginning confirms that PQ is indeed canon to the current Persona timeline:

The Intro in Makoto/Minato’s story starts with Makoto visiting the Velvet Room apparently AFTER the time of the Typhoon/cancelled festival, and Elizabeth mentions that she feels like she “had a dream in which Makoto met “those” people, but she isn’t sure if it was real”.

As she says that, Makoto briefly hears Yu’s voice in his head, saying:

"We’ll meet again some day. I’m sure."

After that, the rest of the game appears to be a flashback.

This most likely confirms my theory that the Events of PQ are in-canon, but erased from the characters’ memories in a “Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories”-esque way.

Meh, I didn't care for the game being canon to anything.

So this is what each of the Velvet Attendants do as far I know:

Elizabeth: Healing station, quest giver, Persona fusion (possibly on P3 route)

Theodore: Weapon and armoury shop, item forging.

Margaret: Persona fusion (possibly on P4 route), not sure if that's it.

Marie: Streetpass functions.

Continue the bloodline, Fujimaru!

thankfully this seems to mean that marie will barely appear.

I've seen a lot of dislike of Marie and I wonder why? Is it because of the tsundere characteristics? I mean if she had been part of the original version of the game would she be disliked as much?

What I've seen looks like a Persona-skinned Etrian Odyssey, which is not a bad thing. I'm really looking forward to this game, though it'll probably join EO IV and a bunch of Megami Tensei games on the pile of (3)DS Atlus games I never finished. I hope Mitsuru/Aegis/Naoto works as a party.

I've seen Marie's trailer. Looks like nothing much has changed and she is still writing So Bad, It's Good poetry.

Buuut, yeah. I don't really care for Marie and I have Golden. (Alsothatdungeongrrrrrrr)

Oh, Marie's in the game too.
