Hopefully not
Ultimax heavily foreshadows that Liz is going to succeed, so there's that.
If they ever remake P3 I think that's the best way to do it. Add a special scenario or secret NG+ thing where Liz pulls some bullshit and frees him
She better fricking hurry up, his wife Yukari isn't getting any younger
Aigis is his canon love interest. Cope.
Aigis has no vegana
Not yet.
Consider
>guy you love survives fighting off death himself only to die in your lap right as you swear that you'll be with him forever
Now with marriage she can be even more of a wreck.
What do you call it when you slide something in and out of your mouth and then spit out white stuff?
>hairy pole
Aigis, there's something wrong with that guys dick if it's got hair ALL OVER IT.
That's an accurate description of mine.
show pic
Rookie mistake, Aigis. In fellatio you swallow the white liquid.
>she spits
lol worst """"""""""girl"""""""""". toasterfricker btfo
I love this doujin even if it's mean to my wife and best p3 girl chihiro
>he doesnt own the fleshlight attachment
do you know what people don't have veganas too?
wrong its mitsuru
He's dead, anon
His corpse is rotting
The best Elizabeth can hope for is to change humanity so his soul can be freed from sealing Nyx/Erebus
>Ultimax heavily foreshadows that Liz is going to succeed, so there's that.
it also says that liz is going to be waiting "a very, very long time" because the only idea she currently has is "make all of humanity stop wishing for death so he doesn't need to be a door anymore" which would require the entire human race to obtain enlightenment and/or be extinct
SMT but it's just Door-kun and Liz having fun adventures in a post-humanity alien universe
If they do, I'll finally lose all hope for them.
Do you really care that much about P3 canon? Come on man, it's Teenage Emo Bait: the game, who cares?
>Do you really care that much about P3 canon? Come on man, it's Teenage Emo Bait: the game, who cares?
Apparently you care enough to make a comment.
I'd rather his female counterpart
Can't tell if the female protagonist is more liked than she is hated.
I wonder why they even bother to let you name the protagonists in games like Q2 any more. When you have that many characters to name, most people just give them the defaults, like in Earthbound. So female protagonist is gonna be Kotone every time.
I always name the MCs in Persona games something like
>Genghis Khan
>Mongke Khan
>Kublai Khan
All so I can quietly chuckle to myself when they call me Genghis-kun
Ok, that's pretty good.
>the balls
You mean the integrity NOT to? His story wrapped itself up, no need to bring him back.
Anon they have been bringing him back in multiple spin-off's anyways, they lost integrity long ago.
I assume the dancing shit isn't canon, I havent played them
Everything is canon in megaten, just at different universes.
All three of the dancing games are canon, but it only really matters for the P4 one. The P3 and P5 ones are just a shared dream the casts are having before the end of their games, there are no stakes or danger involved, and they all lose their memories of it when it's done. P4D is the only one with an actual plot.
The Q games are canon, but the casts are ripped out of points where the entire cast is together (like when Shinji is still alive and Akechi is acting as a Phantom Thief during Sae's Palace) and their memories get wiped at the end, so ultimately it doesn't matter. All of the dancing games are canon except only P4D "matters" as previously mentioned. The arena games are also canon, but honestly, again, none of it really matters and probably never will. They're as canon as you want them to be.
He doesnt appear in any game from after his death.
>Reviving a dude who has no body
Freedom of his soul at best and Liz or a group still would have to beat the shit out of Erebus and more frequently at that. It's just a hook to make people think something will be done. Dude's dead as frick.
I bet Joker could btfo Erebos.
Joker is the weakest protag in the series and his crew is the weakest crew in the series.
Protags:
3>2>1>4>5
Crews
2>1>3>4>5
I want to hear your reasoning for putting Naoya where you did
Nta, but he's so nothing you can't really call him bad, because the only piece of personality we see of him is "i hate my friends and want to go to the arcade"
Here's the basic logic:
Natural persona users are capable of using their persona in reality and or to affect reality. Ergo the cast of one and two are stronger by default than three, four and five. The two obvious exceptions to this rule are Door - because he has the Universe Aracana, and the 3 crew because while they're not natural persona users and still require assistance to manifest theirs (such as drugs and psychic technology) they can still hard summon. The only character in Persona four OR five who can summon properly is Rise.
Natural psychics>artificial psychics>conditional borrowed power
1/2>3>4/5
In terms of MCs the I just used their feats and antags to adjust based on the above. So we have door first despite being artificial, Maya/Vroomvroom dud to scale, Naoya, Yuu because he still largely acted solo, Joker because he tapped the sea of the unconscious for his win - an extremely conditional method that he can't just pull out whenever.
the 1 cast also all use real guns and the 4 cast only have one gun
Cool, but SEES has a gun that has a Persona.
isn't all of 1 in a dream
do their feats still count
if you want to get into more little details
going by what's said in 5 it took the whole team to beat Akechi so Akechi is a bit above the 5 cast in a general sense
I personally believe that Yu and non Universe Minato are around the same level with some difference as Akechi at least in terms of just fighting ability
Why would you say that though? How would you even make the comparison? Besides, egoists ALWAYS have an anti-bond powerboost. It's the same thing with Adachi. The moment he became a bondcuck he became irrelevant. I haven't played Royale and never will so please feel free to correct me with the new lore if you like.
As for raw? Even without The Universe I'd suggest Door>Yu>Joker. Door is actually psychic. Yu and Joker aren't and Joker has to manipulate The Sea to get his win. There's still some obvious levels between the protags at play.
That's the problem with pushing five. It's just not relevant to anything. There was a narrative continuity to IF..., 1, 2i/e and 3. We follow the discovery of demons in japan, to the exploration of occult technology, to the production of personae, to the exploration of persona and the """creation""" of shadows, to its final conclusion - artificial persona users stopping artificial shadows from reconnecting with the source of occult power.
What does 4 have to do with any of this? Literally nothing and 5 even less so.
its going to sound moronic
I also didn't want to make my initial post too long
so the whole team fights Akechi as a boss
and then you have the Yu and Minato superbosses with questionable canonocity, you can fight those with your whole party
the superbosses aren't even the real ones so they could be even stronger
I don't really like tying in that kinda shit if it's not obviously canon. That's like powerscalling Dante and Raido based on III
Erebus isn't hard to kill, the issue is that he keeps coming back.
Elizabeth's game when?
PQ/2 made me hate Elizabeth.
>t. bullied little brother
...meant to reply to
Dancing all night ports on PC when?
Why would you want that?
Nanako nude mod.
Probably sooner rather than later assuming strikers is getting sales from royal's release
I'd rather a main line persona game and not a spin off.
You will eat the trillion P5 spin offs
AND YOU WILL LIKE THEM
It will get announced at game awards, trust the plan.
>reviving him will make his sacrifice be in vain
huh, no? having the intention to sacrifice himself is what matters, that's what made him a hero
I hope not
the main theme of the fricking game is DEATH, why bring him back if it ruins the point
I hope not, it's a moronic idea and the only way Elizabeth's story should end is her accepting it and moving on.
Freeing his soul from being chained up to a door so it can be properly put to rest and rejoin the cycle of reincarnation would be great. As long as they don't go and pull some bullshit where Elizabeth somehow revives his old body too and just puts him back together again.
Door-kun's imprisonment is a promise to the player. He'll be free once humanity stops wishing for its destruction, and its on the player to contribute, to get out and experience the joy of living
You telling me Maruki was this close to revive door? Frick...
...shit, yeah, Maruki would have made the door unneecessary and either revived him or allowed him to pass on
There's no reason she shouldn't be able to. The issue is not about his body the issue is Nyx. You can't just 'lmao we don't need a seal anymore' without a really good justification both in universe and for the narrative. There's only one scenario where it makes sense. Humanity has to end, either in an apocalypse or spiritually as it evolves into something else.
We're hard wired to have self-destructive tendencies so there's no getting around it.
YHVH comes in and slaps Philemon and Nyarly and then erases humanity
Nyx>=YHVH
Nyx isn't a demon despite having similar power. What's more she created the sea of unconscious which functions similarly to the expanse. Ergo she would beat anything that relies on the expanse. The expanse is just a massive weakness to any entity challenging her. Fricking Nanashi, a shitter, can use it to stomp YHVH so I doubt she'd struggle.
You can also see it this way I suppose.
But Nyx is locked behind the Door
How can she stop god gamer YHVH
Door is sealing her sure, but he's really mostly standing between humanity and her. I bet YHVH acting in the open would wake her up independently of humanity wanting to die. That said, it's a bit of a 'whoever wins we lose' situation. YHVH wins and humanity dies. Nyx wins and YHVH and humanity dies.
Yes. It was a psychic dream fricking with reality - not some shadow world altverse. The most contemporary comparison is the ending of five. But more importantly they still have hard summons as proven by two. I've also left IF out of all of this which isn't quite right.
Another way to verify how real shit was is the inclusion of devilsummoners - which later games just forget about.
Bring back FeMC first
Why is he depicted naked so much?
Nakedness is used as a representation of purity, so it makes sense for fusion spells as it's a synthesis of his inner truths.
The P3D one being naked, IDK, maybe it's just simpler since most of it is obscured
Does this mean everyone saw his wiener in the velvet room during Persona 3 dancing
sex
Because he and his canon love interest are emo haired streakers
The persona mangas are all licensed cash-ins. The names they use for main characters aren't official in any capacity.
Dying on your school's roof sounds like a dick move honestly.
True, bet it was a PR nightmare for the staff.
My headcanon is that once tears were wept and feelings cooled down a little, Mitsuru told Aigis to discreetly take Minato's corpse back to the dorm where they would deal with it, and Aigis being the super powerful battle robot that she is jumped off the school's roof carrying him bridal style(Pietá style would be more correct) and did it somehow avoided the gaze of the perhaps tens of thousands of people she would have crossed on the way.
Or maybe Mitsuru just called a car from the Kirijo group and AAigis just had to simply jump off the roof.
Kirijo helicopter
It says in The Answer he was only asleep on the rooftop and they carried him back to the dorm to rest. He died later with no apparent cause of death.
He went into a coma, he didn't officially die until he was in the hospital.
bump
He doesn't have a body to come back to, his sacrifice was in vain so at very least they can free his soul.
P5 homosexual and non-canon prostitute have no right to be there.
Damn Arsene looks like a rightful owner of a Dimmsdale Dimmadome
>p3's key art but door and thanatos are shoved to the side so joker can stand in his spot (also yu and femc are there)
Very accurate representation of the current state of the Persona franchise.
The new game is the advertised one, surprise.
It's the fact that it's P3's key art except with a new character and different color instead. It's very honest about how all three games are just copies of P3's formula.
That's a good point, but I don't think there's anything wrong with a franchise following a formula that worked for it. Unless you want every sequel to be an entirely different game.
nta but I want exactly that
Might not even be worth making a franchise at that point, then. EO might be more up your alley.
>just copies of p3's formula
they're the same game franchise improving on an already working formula you moron
>persona 3 has the set days calendar system as part of its themes about how time is always moving us towards death and we have to make the most of the time we have, which is why big story bosses happen at say days regardless of how much dungeon you've done
>persona 5 (and 4) have this same system because it gives them a gimmick compared to similar rpgs in terms of raw gameplay but they're still scructured like any other rpg so you beat the story boss in 2 days and then frick around for weeks as nothing happens because the game has to go into filler mode until the month ends and the new months plot can start
>bro I can't believe p3 invented calendars!!!!!!
Yes, P1 and P2 didn't have a calendar in them. P3 invented that aspect of Persona.
>major theme of 4 is appreciating time in this rural area
>every characters' issue is that they want to reinvent themselves and escape to lala land
theme of 4 is appreciating time in this rural area
No it's about seeking the truth you dumb frick.
should've said A theme then
Acceptable
It is sort of core to the Persona formula from 3 onwards of knowing your adventure will eventually end and you gotta treasure the time you got
yeah that was completely moronic wording, but I will stand by that being a theme of the game. yosuke and yukiko are most obvious, but most of these characters want to deny their country bumpkin asses and want to escape where they are under some false visage of themselves and refusing to improve, which again ties into the overall major theme of the truth.
this is also the part of the game i see people get pissy about the most since a lot of people interpret it as "shut up and accept what society wants of you." usually twitter bots being deliberately reductive.
The major theme of persona 4 is how the media around us shapes our lives and perceptions in the current age to a stupidly potent degree, and the entire point of the game is about piercing through those pre-conceived notions of affairs to get to the truth of the matter
You see this in a lot of the social links and even how you get the true ending
Like this is in the lyrics of the original p4 opening, I don't know how you completely misinterpreted the core backbone of the game, cmon
You'd be surprised just how stupid the average poster here is, anon.
>Come on, let go of the remote; don't you know you're letting all the junk flood in?
>I try to stop the flow, double-clicking on the go, but it's no use; hey, I'm being consumed
I was just listening to it
the p3 calendar system was already a "gimmick" and didn't become a gimmick when p4 suddenly started doing it. the themes aren't always the reason for the gameplay design choices, of course the plot is going to move forward as you go day by day
>and then frick around for weeks as nothing happens because the game has to go into filler mode until the month ends
this also happens in persona 3 btw just not exactly the same as p4-p5's palaces or tv world where you save a homie
it doesnt at all, because the story is decoupled from dungeon progress until the literal last day of the game when you need to reach the top of the tower, they can actually spread story events throughout the month instead of having them happen over the course of a week. there's gaps between cutscenes but because the deadline is when you fight the boss instead of when you need to have finished the boss its paced out more
>joker in the middle
I'm so tired of that non-character
p5 was a mistake
What went so wrong?
Remember when Atlus and Soejima used to show all the protagonists in all the promos naturally balanced showing that all of them are equally important? Yeah me neither. It's all about PERSONA 5 now. They must jerk off Ren/Akira's giant cuck as much as possible because he's the MOST IMPORTANT protagonist of the MOST IMPORTANT game in the entire series to the point of him stealing Minato's place in the promo art that is meant to reference Persona 3 and putting Minato into Yukari's place instead as a way to symbolize that he's Ren/Akira's submissive little b***h. This is fricking disgusting. Frick corporate favoritism.
It goes deeper than that, Persona Q2 was literally just a Persona 5 game that happened to feature the casts of 3 and 4, instead of a crossover like the original Q.
>we already did a crossover with 4 and 3
>both games already got a full focus in a campaign
>that was a lot of money and this is a dying console, let's just focus on P5
Remember when they pretended Trinity Soul guy existed?
trinity soul is unironically really good, it's just not a "persona 3 anime" like anyone wanted and instead does stuff that works better for an anime format, like letting the best friend male character actually be cool because there's no slinks for him to cuck you out of
Can't believe we've hit the point in time where trinity soul apologists exist.
Really?
Eh, his story kinda contradicts how personas work now, no? Same with the Naoto novels iirc
If Atlus made Trinity Soul into a mainline game or a spin-off how would it even play?
>most recent getting the most focus
>also happens to be the most successful persona game
What a shock. You P3 Black folk have to cool down your perpetual victim complex.
That's not going to happen.
Where's Maya...
Who?
I don't know anyone by that name.
Anyway let's forget we ever had this conversation, and talk about Persona 3, 4, and 5.
holy fricking soulless
It's really fricking disrespectful considering that P3 saved persona franchise in terms of popularity
>balls
more like desperation
I'm still mad that they didn't make a Shadow Minato playable character for P4 Ultimax
Would have been a perfect fit for the story too
>Would have been a perfect fit for the story too
Ultimax's story already ripped off so many elements from 3, stealing the ??? fight from The Answer didn't also need to be there.
It'd be cool to make him playable but at that point just make him some noncanonical bullshit entry and be done with it. They were already planning to add the P5 protagonist to the game as DLC, so it's not like they weren't prepared to run that excuse.
I mean the story involved whatever the villain's name was throwing shadow versions of other characters at you
What better way to frick with them than throwing in Minato?
Minazuki's unoriginal fanfiction ass probably didn't even know who he was, so he just threw Ikutsuki at you instead. After all that was supposed to be his foster dad according to the "story." If that scene highlighted anything to me, it's that 3's biggest problem was a lack of a proper antagonist. They at least tried to remedy that here, outside of a gay last second plot twist as usual, but the narrative is completely fricked by them trying to put every character in the seat. Should've just picked a protagonist and went with it, they do that in mid-late to lategame any way with it either being Narukami or Labrys.
Aren't we getting a big event for the 25th Anniversary in November? I haven't checked /pg/ in a while
>visiting /vg/ at all
Why are you homosexual
Anon, I think the 25th anniversary thing is officially over.
>P3P
Fricking why of all things
Because apparently having your party controlled by AI is unplayable for 2022 gamers.
Supposedly they lost the source code for FES
Or if you're really, REALLY optimistic, it's because they're going to remake P3 so porting FES would be redundant
4 was way more successful than 3, so you're getting the version of 3 that they 4'd up.
It's almost insulting how petty they got, with him holding a tarot card instead of an evoker.
It would've been so cool if they combined the two versions to make 1 ultimate version of Persona 3.
>the female route, added content, and quality of life features from Portable
>the epilogue, ability to walk around in the overworld, and anime cutscenes from FES
>all in HD and at 60 FPS
Of course that would require them putting in effort, and judging from their previous "remasters", that is something Atlus isn't willing to do.
I’m going to pretend this is what they are going to do, and be severely disappointed when it’s a crappy portable only port.
If you want 4s gameplay downgrade in your ultimate port youve got no right to speak.
>Fallout and Persona both had their 25th anniversary this year
>both made a big deal about it
>both announced literally nothing
The games industry is a fricking joke
Leave him dead
He fullfilled his purpose
Why would they ever do that?
yea
persona 6 is gonna be a protag team up game my dad works at atlus
It'd be crazy and maybe cool if it was a mashup of existing secondary/confidant characters as the cast. Have Daisuke or Kou, Ai, Nanako, Hifume, Mishima, etc. discover personas and tell a story with them.
finally, confirmation for Q3
>Minato
Anyway the most you'll get is a return for a remake or spinoff
>Minato
His name is Makoto you moron
>minato
>Go to Persona 25th Anniversary site
>First thing you see after the introduction is ads for the Vinyl Box thing and the Atlus Shop.
>Check Atlus Shop
>Pic related.
What the frick, when is any merchandise about the 25th anniversary supposed to release then? How long has this site been up?
He’s a piece of shit who canonically fricked every girl he ever met then became a door to dodge any responsibility for his actions. Bring back the rest of 3’s cast but leave this turd in limbo forever.
How rude. He's fighting your urge to have a nice day RIGHT NOW.
Since Yuko is the team manager of the swim club, do you think she supervised the Makoto Yuki and the other boys while they were naked in the locker rooms getting ready for swim class?
>trying to max out her social link towards the end of the game for Elizabeth's request
>decide I want Metatron and Aigis's ultimate weapon instead so abandon her social link for Aigis's
>end the game with Yuko as my only reversed social link even though she was at rank 9 before
sorry Yuko
she just says she wants to have babies with the door.
atlus respects this ending so much they've never tried to do it again and instead make every game
>noooo you're moving 2 hours away MC kun we'll miss you we'll always be friends 4ever *comes back in a spinoff 2 months later to hang out anyway*
to try and capture any of its impact without just copying it.
Door and Aigis will be seen as random yet recognizable background NPCs at a cafe on a specific day, but no explanation will be made.
Margaret > Lavenza > Twins > Liz > Theo
When are we getting a P3 remake?
Is this just an image or is it from a video?
I tried looking it up and all I found was SFM videos of Persona characters farting and shitting.
it's from a video
why is it censored
>Will Atlus ever have the balls to revive Minato?
He's not dead.
>japanese "humor"
Will Philemon unfrick him?
Phil is dead
So is door.
how do you unfrick yourself?
>Punch Philemon
>Well Atlus ever have the guts to double back and undo their ending that had actual meaning, sacrifice and pathos for the sake a pandering to cheap feels and dullards.
I'm frankly surprised they haven't yet.
I mean, the made The Answer to show thats a fricking terrible idea
>bro what if we undo Chidori's death lol
>bro what if we undo Shinji's death lol
Just have faith. He'll come back.
>the balls to destroy one of the only good games in their series
Hopefully not. There is an amazing game to be had from when he wakes up but modern atlus is not the company to make it.
Door is sealed until the impulse of self-harm is extinguished in mankind. So either he's waking up in some spooky futuristic world where humanity has lost its own humanity OR he's waking up at the end of the world where the number of humans has dwindled enough that their psychic energies are no longer a concern as far as interacting with Nyx.
It's the perfect set up because Aigis and Liz will still be alive.
It's the perfect set up because he has the universe Arcana - which you might as well treat as the personaverse equivalent of being the SMT messiah.
Door is absolutely slated to return in what is basically an SMT game and Atlus can't make those anymore. Frick it would be an amazing game, though.
>game starts with you waking up on Aigis' lap mirroring the end of the first game
>except the environment if all fricked up and weird
>game is a world hoping adventure where you ally yourself with the remaining humans and try to decide what should be done and your place in the new world
>heavily reference the original persona games - e.g Nyarly and Phil, the many occult factions, the many demon summoner factions, the several ex-protag groups
>give the end SMT moral conundrums and branching pahts
Hell if you wanted to go full old school you could have it take place directly after persona 6 or 7 and just be ballsy enough to make the end of one of them a bad end MT II or SMTIVA style.
It would be the greatest persona game ever made for sure. But we just don't have a company ready to make it.
P3 is the only good Persona.
this
Though P4 was not that bad, at least not untill Yukiko and crew went full moron at the end
P4's gameplay was terrible.
Best end I can imagine for him is replacing Igor.
I feel like they got as much mileage as they could of igirs old lines.
Yeah, i feel like this is the best way to bring him back
Maybe a redesign to make him older? As some extra fanservice on top of the fanservice
I would agree it's a good idea if it wasn't for the fact Royal already sets up Jose as the Igor replacement
devs really knew how to make the player want to frick a robot
so did minato actually put his dick in her papillon heart?
I don't get why Atlus is always so ridiculously inconsistent with the protagonist's canon name.
>P3 manga calls him Minato Arisato
>Oh he's actually Makoto Yuki
>P4 manga calls him Souji Seta
>Oh he's actually Yu Narukami
>P5 manga calls him Akira Kurisu
>Oh he's actually Ren and Stimpy
Anime names are the official names, manga names are always noncanon, its easy
there's no reason for any discrepancy though, why even give them different names
He's dead and cremated. The only thing Liz will do is free his soul so he can RIP;
Actually, since everyone in P4 could see Teddy even though he's a shadow
Then there should be no problem for Makoto to come back as just his soul imitating his old "body" (even though his real body is already 6 feet under and it's probably just a skeleton now)
That would defeat the point of him dying and the message of the game
>No P5 Arena game announced this year
And for the life of me, I can't understand why. They could even make it so the story would be about freeing Minato and making him the new Igor of the Velvet Room.
ArcSys has their hands full with other games.
Guilty Gear Strive and DNF had run their course, didn't they? It's just new characters and balance adjustments at this point.
They could give it to the team that did Blazblu.
Strive is still going, they are obviously going to have the DBFZ team working on a sequel contracted by Bandai, and DNF isn't made by them.
The DBFZ team was the same as the Persona team.
>DBFZ
How the frick are they going to make a sequel to a game that has nothing but Gokus and Vegatas in it? (Still surprised they didn't act SSB2 Vegata to the original)
year of the gohan
You fricking moron, Dragon Ball fans will buy anything with Goku on it. They could sell us Goku in his Yardrat costume and you bet Dragon Ball fans would gobble that shit up.
Not to mention some random characters like Raditz would sell as well.
>and making him the new Igor of the Velvet Room
Just hire a new fricking Igor. Frick sake. Hell you remember when there were other velvet room residents? Just get one of them to do it or make a new one. They already introduced attendants out of thin air, you might as well.
We aren't getting anymore P5 games, just give it up. We already know they've started working on P6.
So the person he's figuring out the human heart for is Elizabeth, right? She made him the same way Igor made her, probably out of dolls like how Igor was made, but not as skillfully since he still resembles one. He's spent a year wandering the depths of the collective unconscious in Mementos and learned ways to manipulate it, which would absolutely be something Elizabeth would need in her Journey.
Either that, or it's a sequel hook and the people observing humanity he talks about are new characters in P6, not people like the Velvet Room attendants.
They probably want to move away from the Velvet Room since Igor's died and the japanese ar autistic about this shit
Yeah, I mean Elizabeth technically isn't part of the Velvet Room anymore after she left. I agree it's very doubtful we'll be seeing Igor again. He's just fricking disappeared from the Velvet Room in P5S with zero explanation and Lavenza is running it herself. I'm not sure if I'm totally on-board with Door taking over Igor's job, but I think things with Elizabeth's Journey, Jose's mystery purpose and weird attendant-like appearance, and Igor being phased out seem like they're all moving towards the same destination of getting a Velvet Room change of management or outright replacement.
It was stupid enough just like getting rid of everyone from P1/2 for 3 besides the guy with the old and on deaths door VA. I mean if you want a new start that bad don't even bother calling in Persona.
Margaret should take over
they might have it be that but I don't think it would have been planned, they needed something to put in mementos for Royal and he's blank enough that they can do whatever with him
Damn, I just now noticed how weird Jose's ears are. I thought they were normal human ears at first.
All the better for earfricking
Persona 3 has so much SOUL it should be impossible
frick P5
Reviving him would devalue P3 so hopefully not
I think it would be fun if he ends up being a Velvet Room Assistant figure in the next Persona game. Put him in a nice suit, ya know?
It would be very fricking weird, but also kinda cool to hear his voice for the first time
He talks plenty in the movies, PQ1 and 2, and the dancing game. Only two of those are dubbed though.
Wouldn't be the first time, technically. He says his obligatory "Per-so-na" during awakening and also has occasional call outs during battle.
No, he doesn't get to talk. He'd be a silent attendant, because it's funny that way
>nice suit
>older look, around the age of the other P3 characters
>calm yet warm tone of voice, with a wisdom and maturity stemming from his P3 times
People would fricking love it tbh
My only weaknesses, priest type characters and pretty boys
Keep it to yourself homo.
>In a persona thread
>not a homo
I like Fuuka
I don't think she's a man, you homosexual
You can at least admit that the P3 protagonist is pretty
I'm not into men
By today's standards I wouldn't be surprised if someone could look at only the top half of Fuuka and think "yeah that might be a dude."
Explains why she's the least liked of the 3 girls.
Don't try to drag others into your homolust gaylord.
Pic related, just imagine it less lanky and babyfaced
You wanna frick him don't you?
Nah, im straight
I don't but I appreciate a handsome dude in an outfit
Nah dude you really wanna put Minato in a cute priest outfit and cum on his tummy.
I only like cute boys in cute outifts if those boys are also straight and fricking a woman bigger than them
Yep, searching for art on the internet made me secure on my sexuality, and also made me realize i really like art of male characters
Interesting concept, I wonder where do men who can find other men attractive and like attractive men from a visual standpoint only stand in the sexuality scale.
No idea, but im pretty sure thats where Hirohiko Araki is
Pretty sure Araki is just into fashion a lot, so he kinda has to draw men that are visually pleasing. Part 1-3 are just buff dudes akin to FoTNS though.
Absolutely. You can appreciate something that looks badass or classy. That doesn't mean you want to nail dudes.
The people who think it means you're gay are insecure about their own sexualities.
Can't argue with this.
I doi wanna frick akihiko tho. i'd give him some protein to cry about
it is interesting how the person who made one of the most well known persona fan creations is among the people who think Kanji is gay
Wait, what?
Ignoring the pandering aspect, you'd have to really be ignorant to not realize how contradictory that is to what Kanji's story was about.
Kanji doesn't fit into any mold. He's not a stereotypical tough guy nor is he a stereotypical gay guy. He's Kanji. He's himself, faults and all, and you don't get to force anything upon him. He stops letting the doll shit get to him but at the same time he never goes gaylord.
>that adaption of thanatos' clothes on him, complete with a chain coffin necklace replacing his headphones
Kino design.
Yeah, its a great design
you can say that maybe the Shadow Operatives didn't notice anything happening in Tokyo during 5 but you would think they would track them down in the time between 5 ending and Scramble
a lot of people saw them do that shit
>the cast of p2/3 gets mogged because continuity would upset newbies
Again, this wasn't an issue with the first trilogy.
>gets mogged
What does this mean in non-Black folkpeak?
Why would the Shadow Operatives want to involve themselves with what was happening at Tokyo?
>why would the shadow operatives want to involve themselves in this big event involving shadows and personae despite just doing that in Inaba during P4U
>Arena
>canon
Sorry, if they came up with an excuse for how Q was canon, you bet your ass Arena was as well.
Q is even less canon than Arena, what the hell are you on about?
Unless there's a Q or Arena cameo on mainline then it's not canon.
It's a lot of fun watching other anons grappling with the concept of an Expanded Universe.
Where would he even be used? Would they make a sequel specifically for P3, or would they have him be a side character in a new persona?
have him work in a church where a unrelated SL takes place as a generic NPC
could Yu instantly destroy Maruki's reality by using Myriad Truths?
Every Persona game does a good job of utilizing 'Persona' and 'Shadow' themes of personality, masks and true selves but only 3 handled the calendar system well. It should have stayed a unique gimmick to that game alone. 4 and 5 should have had their own, more appropriate (and more involved) mechanics. The calendar system was novel for one game. Now it's boring and slows the gameplay to a fricking crawl.
I appreciate the attempt to trick them by saying it'd be ballsy.
I WANT TO FRICK AKIHIKO
I liked P3 dancing, frick P5D though
frick P5 in general
Tell me why you hate P5 without mentioning how it's overshadowed other games in the series.
its not as comfy as the others
mechanically and in many aspects its better than the other games but it won't ever give you the same feelings as arriving into the dorms or doing the beef bowl challenge on rainy days
Seems like a real reason, and I agree with it.
>I hate that P5 introduced so many normalgays into the franchise, and they're the main reason why I'll never want to play this game
P4 already did that.
I never played it and I don't think I'll ever want to play it
but from what I've seen or heard:
I hate those braindead reminders on the top right side of the screen that serve no logical purpose
I hate the artstyle
I listened to the OST, and it unironically sucks
I hate that P5 introduced so many normalgays into the franchise, and they're the main reason why I'll never want to play this game
>NOOOO YOU HAVE TO BUY GAMES BEFORE YOU SAY YOU DISLIKE THEM YOU CANT LOOK INTO GAMEPLAYS ON YOUTUBE NOOO
moron, you're all whats wrong with modern games
I won't play a fricking game that I simply know I won't enjoy
now have a nice day
>didn't just pirate it and see if his thoughts changed
>became a youtube secondary instead
>complained about normalgays despite doing the same thing as them
You have no opinions of your own.
>didn't just pirate it and see if his thoughts changed
Link? Because as far as I know, persona 5 has denuvo you dumb moron
You had years to pirate it on console, but today you can just run the Switch version of Royal through Yuzu.
>Didn't just pirate it when it was available
>Probably watched some shitty obnoxious streamer to get his opinions rather than trying it himself in any way
>Have only palyed Persona 3 and never finsished it because my save got deleted
>Probably won't ever try portable because it's long as hell
>Haven't even played 4 because I spoiled it eons ago and never felt like (Kek) slogging through it until Golden came to PC. Probably will now.
>5 just doesn't interest me at all
>Only game I've finished is Eternal Punishment on ps1
Why am I even here? Nobody ever talks about 2.
I go to message boards to talk about animes ive never watched/never finished
>I hate that P5 introduced so many normalgays into the franchise
P4 already did that long, long ago. I should know, P4 was my first Persona game too, even if I'm not a normalgay.
>minato
I WANT TO RIM LAVENZA
>8 years between P4 and P5 release
>Devs stated they spent a lot of that time making the new engine
>It has been 6 years since P5 came out
They better not be making a new fricking engine again
Isn't Katsura Hashino working on another game right now? Maybe that's why P6 is taking so long, unless they replaced him as series director.
Did Katsura even work on Royal? It's got him listed for both P4 and P4G but I can only find Katsura for base P5
Looks like he didn't, from what I could find. Hopefully he's still going to work on the next mainline game though
Here's the thing, when they make that engine they then get to use it for everything else for a long goddamn time. How many games used Nocturne's engine before they moved on to Catherine?
Jesus allegories dictate that he revives after 3 games.
6 is 3 after 3. So yeah, have a little heart and have a little hope that his soul may be freed.
>He's revived
>All the doomers on social media cause Erebus to revive once more
>All the teams have to gather together to sacrifice MC and turn him back into a door to save humanity.
>He is put up on a cross and nailed to it.
Close, but instead of being nailed to cross he's chained to doors
>Someone unwittingly tries opening the door from behind.
>Rips his arms off.
would lol
>Oh my god! [one of the many characters who would fit that role]! You broke Door-kun's arms!!
>I did what now??
>Oh my god!! *laughtrack*
>tries to put the arms back on, they seemingly fit for a moment before falling *laughtrack*
>What are we going to do now?? You killed Door-kun!
>[mascot of the game]: if we find some way to stick his arms back on before we resurrect him, he'll be fine.
The plot writes itself.
Imma be honest with yall, now that you're ganging up on the moron
Ive only played Persona 1, most of what i know after that is spoiling myself and osmosis
It's okay, but saying "yall" was where you went too far. Time to die.
Understandable, have a nice day
Why not just have him be part of the Velvet Room? He doesn't have a fricking body.
Liz love
Liz looks like a thirty year old
Yeah she does look mature and sexy.
Balls? You mean lack of balls right?
I wouldn't be surprised if in future series they just marvel avengers chungus altverse him back alive
He's dead you morons, he can't come back. That's the entire point.
Lizzy only wants to put his soul to rest so it doesn't have to be a fricking door decor till the end of time.
>"people" on Ganker want to make Door-kun's sacrifice meaningless by bringing him back
Of course they do.
No I want him to be the new Velvet Room boss, if only because I'm afraid Pinocchio here will take over for Igor instead.
He's definitely an attendant if anything, not Igor material.
He's beyond Igor material. Philemon, Nyarlathotep and him are the only people who can solo cast Armageddon
Can't door-kun do it too?
Oh, I thought he was talking about P3MC. Jose is pretty much a loser who uses items because he can't actually do anything himself
Oh, my bad, I thought he meant Jose as the Velvet Room boss. Door could totally take over for Igor after he's unlocked the Universe and essentially altered the collective unconscious by himself with his soul.
I had a dream once in P6.
MC was sitting on the opposite side of the table in the velvet room. He spoke to you by leaning to the attendant and whispering to her ear, who relayed the information to you. At the end of the game during the climax, MC finally speaks to you directly.
"You have been a remarkable guest."
Sounds like Lucifer
That's probably where I got the idea now that you mention it.
Ultimax and the Lyrics to the Dancing Moon Night intro and ending heavily tease he will come back. Whether Atlus actually cares enough to follow through with concluding an ongoing plot point from the original P4 release is another issue
I mean come on
been awhile
It's good to see you, how you been?
Yeah, we're back
How long has it been
Hope I'm not dreaming
Here comes the light of day
Don't you worry baby
Just believe
I'll spread my wings like a bird
I'll come to see you so take my word
Wherever you are
We'll meet again
It's the truth
There's still So much To say
Important words from now...
We'll meet again for sure, so no need to worry
Don't say "Goodbye"
We may meet again tomorrow
Trust me, you have to believe in it
>Will Atlus ever have the balls to revive Minato?
I'd say it actually takes more balls to just leave him dead. It's also a better ending to that story than just having him be revived.
why? nobody gives a shit about door-kun. A complete non-character
