So a Japanese perspective and a Western perspective. What did the differences end up being, out of curiosity?

They had several.

Yosuke/Yu are usually in the first two with Naoto/Chie taking the third spot.

They also had persona polls.

Izanagi came in first of that one, if I remember correctly.

Orpheus, Thanatos, Konohana Sakuya, Alice and Mara also had pretty respectable positions.

Since when has Chie not been popular? Everywhere I go it's best girl this and best girl that.

Wait, Japanese fans actually put up with Chie's unfitting cutesy voice enough to like her?

I mean, seriously, I think it wasn't until the Golden Animation where the VA finally figured out her character was supposed to be a tomboy and not a moeblob.

Wasn't Goku just keeping the same voice they used for him as a child, because apparently people in Dragonball world don't change their voice ever, even when they grow up?

IIRC it's because he has the pure heart of a child even when grown up.

Back in 2008, Chie wasn't popular by any stretch. It wasn't until she got a new voice actor that thing really began looking up for her.

Really?

Because if you are talking about her new voice that she got in Golden... then I don't like it.

It feels too shrill and high-pitched for her.

Eh? I was under the impression she was fairly popular, just not usually given as much attention as a love interest as the other three female party members.

I sure said that!

I got the impression that Chie was the most "normal" girl of the four (The other three are more famous around town for different things) and as such might've felt a lot more personable for some people. I guess that might have a greater effect now than it did six years ago, I dunno.

Keep in mind Golden came out relatively recently too, that might have introduced a bunch of newbies with different opinions.

Reviews are coming in. This one makes me rage, and not because of the score.

Meguro isn't doing the music and you spoiled October 4th!

What really weirds me out about that review is the way the existence of Zen and Rei aren't mentioned. I'd expect two new party members would be worth bringing up, especially in a series as heavy on the character focus as Persona.

I think it makes sense that it's more fun. The more serious and sad stuff concerns Zen and Rei, not the P3/P4 cast. So they can enjoy their time of hanging out. This is pretty much shown in the Opening.

It's why I'm not surprised the official manga is just a gag manga with Yu/MC overflowing with Ho Yay while Fuuka looks on with joy and Rise and Aigis get jealous.

Also appears they don't know about the early games, where everyone could use different personas and have a good/bad affinity for it.

Beat Shadow Kanji. I discovered after fighting him four times that the real issue I have with him isn't the Power Chage Swift Strike combo or the status effects. It's Fanatical Spark basically being a free One More for him. Everything besides that is pretty manageable, but that's the thing that puts him over the edge.

Edit: Something that's probably a bit more interesting to talk about: Atlus just announced another Persona Music concert for 2015 called Persona Super Live. What makes this particular one notable is...well, take a look at the website. Red-themed, font for the numbers is the same as a certain trailer from a year ago, and a particular number is flashing.

Obviously this is leading up to a Vita port of Persona Q.

Wait, are you taking about the official Persona 4 manga, or is there an official one for PQ?

Speaking of PQ, I've tried Etrian Odyssey recently, and it was fun. Now I want to play PQ not just for the chibis. The only complaint I have is that having to draw your own map is kinda annoying. More a bug than a feature. Now, if what I draw actually created the map, that might have been interesting.

Rather than smart, I'd prefer to be wise. It would let me be silly more often.

The map-drawing thing from EO harkens back to an era when one would have to construct their own dungeon maps on graph paper, especially games like the Wizardry series.

it doesnt quite work out that way however, because the game auto-tracks your movement on the map.

its significantly harder to get lost in EO than in any of the older games like wizardry and bards tale.

[up]x3 Why would I bring up P4 when I'm talking about PQ?

PQ has a gag manga.

Edit: Seriously? Two more PQ mangas?

Because I haven't found the one for PQ and thus questioned it's existence? But since there is such a thing, I will... have to wait till it's translated, I guess.
