Make the male Minato and the female Makoto.

[up][up] Just yesterday I was re-listening to awesome Persona music and found this

And the Top Comment: "thanatos looks like a dad that never went out of his punk phase dropping his two children off at school"

Also I'm sorry all but Mass Destruction is a better battle theme than whatever she had.

She did get awesome school music, though.

I'm pretty fond of the Persona 1 PSP school theme.

P2 had a great school theme, too. You hear it for all of 10 minutes maybe 20-30 on a first run.

@ Demongodofchaos 2: True, but instead of going for that idea I would prefer the female protagonist to have a Childhood Friends relationship with the male and obviously, advancing the link to the inevitable romance would ensure that her relationship becomes a Childhood Friend Romance.

@ Nikkolas: I honestly prefer Wiping All Out. Maybe a Definitive Edition of Persona 3 can let you alter the battle BGM so that you can listen to other tracks while fighting regular enemies and/or The Reaper.

Was Butters (Mishima) spreading the information about Akira/Ren's criminal record in the vanilla version or an addition to Royal?

Thanks, I haven't played the original while paying attention to the story in a while. Playing Royal, just got Yusuke to join. Reading this site makes me glad to know Madarame is eaiser this time (though Okumura is harder)

I expect this new generation of P4 fans to be free from the resentful baggage of the old days and thus to see Marie for the amazingly voiced, fantastically designed best waifu that she is.

Since I experienced Golden first, Marie's perfectly fine. Her story role is easily the worst part of her character. Her design and personality are great.

Only played Golden here too. That's why I like Chie and Teddie's voice actors and don't miss the original ones.

As for Marie, since I despise tsundere characteristics, her waifu "charm point" where she mutters stuff and calls me names doesn't do much for me. However I love when the story makes fun of a possible waifu so I love Margaret trolling her. That and the bad poetry is funny. So all in all, I like her enough but probably not for the reasons the dev intended.

Didn't care much about her story role though. I think I even forgot.

The vanilla game's prologue is long as is, I can't imagine with Golden's extras and setup how much longer it comes out.

There's a mod to skip the prologue; which makes it the greatest mod for this game to date.

I’ve only watched playthroughs of Persona 3, 4 and 5 in the past since I’ve never owned any Play Station, so when P4 Golden dropped on Steam I bought it to finally experience it.

I guess it’s different when you’re watching it, but the prologue of 4 never felt that long to me back in the day. Playing it, it does drag a bit. I think it was an hour and a half or so before the tutorial Shadows fight? Or maybe more? I lost track.

Setup is great and all, but geez. I had no idea about that mod either, damn.

I kinda liked the prologue. It's great for emphasizing the exact mood moving to the boonies for the first time is like.

I loved the prologue when I owned the original game on PS 2. I didn't mind the length of it either back in the day, albeit because I had to deal with it whenever I started a new save file. Now that I can skip it, I'll gladly take it. Blew me away when I played Golden on my PSTV way back, and I could just fast forward the cutscenes I already saw.

Yeah, the prologue is great the first time around, not so much when you replay the game and have to sit there for minutes skipping text to get to the meat of the gameplay.

If you get the Tsukiomi DLC persona, Okumura becomes MUCH easier.

Best dark persona in the game (Kagumi being the best light persona). Baton Pass chain (use Haru, psy and dark items for non psy users on wave 4) go to Joker get 2 free Severe Wings (mass severe dark damage).

Is it just me, or is the True Final Boss of Royal a big Anti-Climax Boss?

Have Haru in party with 3rd Awakening. Baton Pass chain -> Max chain to Haru -> Cast Life Wall for free -> first phase becomes nearly impossible to lose. Best party for phase 1 IMO is Joker, Morgana (light resistance), Sumire (light and nuclear protection) and Haru (free Life Wall spam).

Phase 2 is a Rush Boss. Sure he hits like a truck, but has low health pool. Best party here is Joker, Makoto (defense buffs), Akechi (Debilitate), and either Ann or Ryuji (mass charge or mass concentrate). This set up cripples the strengths of a Glass Cannon and exasperates the weaknesses.

The True Final Boss was a breeze for me and I didn't have any strat for it. Though I did have Satanael and every Ultimate Persona and might have been overleveled.

Funny thing was I didn’t have the Life Wall cheese in mind at first.

It was something that I realized I could do when I discovered the lackeys had elemental weaknesses. Quick adaptive thinking.

Phase 2 on the other hand was fully planned from the beginning. Knowing Akechi is a natural Persona boss killer via Debilitate. Life Wall unfortunately doesn’t work on Phase 2.

Why did they make Okumura a worse person in Royal if we're supposed to sympathize with him? (Is Atlus jumping on the Orange Man Bad bandwagon?) Re-releases are supposed to address issues, not make them worse.
