#59726: Jul 27th 2020 at 10:37:01 AM

Ok gang, it's time to rumble! I'm coming for you killer! Well, I'm going to get the stuff I need for quests first, but then he's going to be bopped into next week!

Since I posted my levels and S.Link status before, I'll do it again!

  • Fred: 69
  • Shaggy: 60
  • Velma: 63
  • Daphne: 63
  • Special Celebrity Guest (Insert popular female singer form the 1970's here): 69
  • Scrappy: 60
  • Batman (The Scooby-Doo cast has met him several times, and times like these call for help from the Caped Crusader.): 62
  • Scooby-Doo: 62

Social Links:

  • MAX: Investigation Team, Yosuke, Yukiko, Kanji, Dojima, Rise (Girlfriend), Chie, Nanako, Athletes, Hisano, Sayoko, Teddie, and Ayane.

You know, while I understand it happens for gameplay reasons, I find it funny how both Yu and Joker both have an entire month at the end of the story where they just decide to do nothing. Really could have used that month to finish those last social links.

So we have until the end of December for most S Links? Maybe I can actually finish the entire IT this time. I maxed Yukiko, Kanji and Naoto, have Rise at 9 ready to max as soon as i get another chance, and Chie and Yosuke at 8 each.

Just at the end of the period where you can rescue Nanako, 11/21.

Also I've heard conflicting reports about Kanji getting a new voice for Golden added content. Some say Baker came back to do it all, others told me the new guy did it. Whoever did it, he sounded WAY different in Kanji's final, voiced S Links.

Yosuke also sounds different in Golden's new scenes, and Yuri Lowenthal never got replaced in the role. The different voice may just be the four years of time separating the original recordings with Golden's new lines.

The vast majority of people in gaming or anime who claim a character has a different voice are typically wrong. Voice direction, timing, and heck even what that VA had to drink that day can effect the pitch, tone, and inflection of their voice. Speaking of voices, I really like Sam Riegel as Teddie, he's a lot less scratchy and the higher character pitch just seems to come more naturally to him.

Well Kanji was in fact replaced so I'm not surprised some people just thought he was replaced here.

As for Teddie, Dave Wittenberg is the man. They certainly didn't need the massive voice distortion for Shadow Teddie in the original because Wittenberg's Teddie just leads to S Teddie so much more naturally. That being said, I like Riegel a lot as Teddie and he does seem to fit very well.

[up][up][up][up]I think you actually have up until the end of February to max out everyone. I had to max out some members of the IT after catching the killer.

I find it hilarious how Yu, Yosuke, and Yukiko are the only ones of the entire team who never got new voices in all P4 adaptations.

Chie at least got her change pretty early. As much as the original performance had a ton of personality and effort, Fitzgerald just vocally fits her character type. You can hear her hamming it up so hard at points her tone cracks or having to take little breaths to get all the enthusiasm.

Rise was Laura Bailey in every adaptation until Dancing All Night, in which she was replaced by Ashley Burch. Rise hasn't appeared in any new adaptations since, but given Bailey is a unionized voice actor now, it's highly unlikely she'll reprise Rise in the future.

Naoto's had three different voice actresses...her original VA was Anna Graves who voiced her until Arena (and it took years before anyone knew who she even was...), and then she was voiced by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn in the anime, and then finally was voiced by Valerie Arem in every adaptation afterward.

Speaking of voice actor changes, I can't really tell which voice is better for Takemi, the original or Royal.

It's a direct sequel and Royal specifically leads in to it with the ending, so probably. Besides, you think Atlus of all companies can resist pimping out their new girl, liked or not?

Scramble came out before Royal in Japan, and thus does not have Yoshizawa.

[up][up][up][up][up][up][up][up][up] For what it's worth, Laura Bailey did return as Catherine in Full Body and Persona 5 Royal was a unionized work (it's partly the reason how everyone figured out who new Takemi was so quickly), so never say never.

I got the bad ending with Namatame again. I got farther in my first run, though. I got up to Namtame's true feelings here and then chose why he's scared but that is incorrect.

But I remember I made it up to "Calm the hell down!" in my first run because I pointedly ignored that option. Yelling at people to calm down rarely works so I dismissed that right away. Only it is the right answer. Oops.

I hear it's way more bullshit in original P4 somehow? Original or Golden though I'd be curious to hear how many people got it right on their first try. I suspect not many.

I may be misremembering but I think I did. I actually found some of the options before that more counter intuitive.

I definitely remember knowing not to toss him in the TV, thanks to years of watching Batman's no kill rule.

Can't remember if i got Izanami on my first go though. It's been years.

Of course, this isn't the only Persona game where I don't really understand the "right" dialogue options.

I love Innocent Sin to pieces but don't ask me to explain why "leave friend to be beaten on by four people while a maniac holds a girl at knifepoint" is the right answer instead of "help them." Also leave girlfriend alone with some sleazy, possibly child molesting producer and also drag grieving woman off to fight Robo-Nazis.

Not hitting Maya as she's freaking out due to her fire trauma is the only one that makes sense.
