pq2 thoughts after finishing it!:

i think. it is a g. game. it is a persona game i will admit!

no but srs i think its good if youve never played a persona game which i assume is why its on 3ds only. it really does feel like discount persona with all of the last three cast thrown in? and some of the gameplay improvements (this game's gameplay aged better than fes and p2's LMAOO) i guess its a compromise to reach fans who've never actually played the main games cause they dont own a playstation console or something.

at the same time it makes no sense for "new fans" to play because you need at least some background knowledge of the prev characters and plot to care.

in my case i knew everything abt p3 and p5, only osmosis knowledge of the plot of p4 so i ended up using the p4 cast the least in my playthrough :( so theres that. not worth playing if u dont care abt the other casts imo

...so we agree the characters are the selling point here, its advertised as a mega crossover and whatever but. people complaining that theyre "watered down" to base traits or even traits they didnt have in the first place are Right LOL except for a scant few characters who get a lot of expansion. but for the most part none of them are themselves (like yusuke... 😔.... akihiko.... aki not as bad as yusuke but they have the same writing problem)

no one expects the characters to rly individually shine when theres so many ofc, the game even pokes fun at the "limited screen time" joke but like. what else is there to this? 🤔 well

character interactions! those were good. everyone expected detective princes meetup to be really great but i loved the other pairs like haru and mitsuru (heirs with distant dads...), and the PQ OC girl with futaba :] (introvert friends!!)(theyre like sucrose and collei in this year's windblume if you go there)

speaking of akechi though. yea he's part of the list of characters that surprisingly did not get butchered and in fact expanded upon in this game. aside from akechi it's P3 FeMC.

others i liked were P5 MC (his dialogue choices are SO out there), shinjiro aragaki, ken amada, yukiko amagi maybe yosuke hanamura and P4MC but their personalities just stayed the same instead of getting possible new insight?

i liked velvet room guys too theyre goated frfr! yes including marie. even i was surprised (probably cause akechi gets to poke fun at her and the twins hdjdhdhd)(cute)

i cant put P3 male MC anywhere cause i will always be biased towards him 😔🫰 (he was great btw)

but the crow character expansion in particular intrigued me and leads me to accept this game as canon like some ATLUS USA reps intended. akechi: stripped away of his obligations is a cunning, introspective and overall respectable young man and the game showcased all of his core traits well. he purposefully isolates himself from the main group and gets called out on it, consistently is the one that makes the most sense in discussions, gets various little moe moments... he honestly seems like he doesnt know what to make of all this forced bonding with strangers but he cant help to indulge anyway. 😭 he's vocal in discussions about their plans but a passive :) face in the background during fun moments until he's addressed or curious. the way he furthers the narrative along like they wouldnt get as far as they did without him i feel. but between all of that he was the main character to me.

the end scene where he seems regretful that he has to leave and go back to his revenge plot.... hurts. because for all intents and purposes we just saw akechi if he didnt have all that baggage and was just allowed to exist as himself. a smart guy with a whole life ahead of him. but he didnt choose that.

😔

oh god that emoji is huge but anyway. FeMC!! ^_^ the problems of toxic positivity being addressed in her arc was great. they really tried to give her as much love as possible without being too happy (persona games tend to make their characters suffer anyway to even things out) and it was great! her writing reminds me of kasumire's mental illness but with less romance tease pandering.

ah yes and the obligatory Persona side game OC... hikari and nagi. honestly wished they didnt exist as much as i liked hikari's thing 😔 it got old and outright cringe man im sorry like surely the devs could come up with something better than this?? way to not explain enlil and mess with the in-universe power scaling too LMAO. 2/10 is being generous!

anyway its a fairly short game in persona standards so i cant really say it's time wasted when i got so many character interaction crumbs..... i guess i lucked out by liking the characters that i do instead of ones that kinda got shafted in this. (except for aki but 😔 i just kinda accepted his blown out of proportions awkwardness outside of P3)

it's..... a 6/10 from me overall! music and velvet room attendants + nanako cameo DLC carried

It’s been ages since I posted anything so uhhhhh have like a year and a half of coordinate photos, I guess. These are mostly from digital meets I hosted on Discord, or just hanging out to game or chill with friends.

Shoe-athon Day 2

Buckle Platform Sneakers by Yosuke U.S.A.

A pair I bought during my trip to Japan earlier this year pre-pandemic. These babies are a definite favorite of mine! Bought them, wore them for a week, then ran back to the shop to buy a different pair. Can't speak highly enough of this brand! Extremely comfortable--I easily wore these guys for days in a row of constant walking around Tokyo. Yosuke needs more LOVE!!

I remember right after the game came out R*bbie shot down a fan who asked about redemption, saying Akechi doesn't need one, and when he got booed he said something like "shower me in your hate" in his Akechi voice. I think they definitely wanted Akechi to be hated and they play him up to be a hated villain, like a lot of Atlus USA tweets making his PQ2 profile sound shady when it wasn't like that, or cropping him out of the best friends day picture (they could have used a diff pic without him) 1

2 The Japanese version never uses the word villain to describe him, just rival or antagonist. I guess bc western audiences hate sympathetic antagonists now and they thought crazed villain would go over better. Even a lot of key lines in the engine room were changed. it's why I wasn't too upset pq2 didn't get dubbed.

oh i didn’t know about that. that’s disappointing to hear...i actually... might play p5r with jpn voices after hearing that..

and yeah i actually unfollowed atlus usa on twitter ages ago because of how terrible their goro-related tweets are. i only found out about them cropping goro out of that pic from other people who were upset about it. who needs them when persona central is honestly a better news source anyway

as for localization changes. do they need to be reminded about revelations? after that they tried to be as faithful to the jpn versions as possible. that’s why p3 onwards went so far as to keep the honorifics. imo the only time changes should be made is if there’s something that culturally wouldn’t translate well into english or like wordplay jokes (changing kuma to teddie and changing his verbal tic into bear puns is a good example of a necessary change that was done well imo). stuff that actually changes the way a character comes across to players is not a good change.

Persona 4 (the) Golden for the Sony PlayStation Vita.

This is a hell of a game. Easily one of the best roleplaying games I've ever playes. I wasn’t familiar with Persona or the Shin Megami Tensei series when I picked this up, but I fell in love immediately.

The Golden edition was exclusive to the Vita (and worth getting a Vita, or a PsTV for, honestly), but the standard edition is available for the PlayStation 2, and digitally for PS3.
