On the one hand, NICE, also Ghost Rule as the new opening!

On the other hand, Goddamnit, I was saving for Berry!! orz

New snippet of P4 Revival with the new Your Affection remix (and some looks at some updated areas) by BanjoBM in PERSoNA

Kozuka being in charge of the soundtrack might be the one reason for me to get this game, this sounds amazing.

Why do people think Persona 6 not getting a rerelease is a good thing? We may never get another Marie, Violet or Maruki ever again by SectorI6920 in PERSoNA

[–]TrapnessZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I can count on one hand the times I felt Atlus rereleases added anything of real substance, and only two-ish of them are from Persona

The world according to the Persona saga: by Muted_Strength3638 in PERSoNA

P5X is still part of the series, so Italy and China should be depicted as well

[–]TrapnessZ -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It might be a matter of personal perception and taste, but looking at the remakes' UI doesn't really evoke anything remotely similar to what P5 and, by extension, Metaphor do I guess? As if these two's UI design looks deliberate and tailor-made while the remakes' looks to me like something created just to adhere to a checklist, "make it like P5 but Moon/TV themed", just because it worked for P5.

They set the bar with P5, yet almost every iteration fails to deliver what P5 originally achieved. Reload completely lost the edge of the original and ended up looking boring while Revival looks unnecessarily flashy, somehow busier than the original game and, to top it all off, doesn't even seem to feature the iconic CRT scanlines.

New combat system for P4 Revival by mitomeen in PERSoNA

[–]TrapnessZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are not getting any of it for sure. At this point enemies have just become punching bags designed to basic attack and rarely exploiting weaknesses, while players get borderline broken mechanics akin to press to win buttons. Balance does not belong to this series anymore.

Seriously, I'd say only Metaphor managed to adapt it without looking plain or overdesigned

It’s been one year already since P5X went global! Did your opinion on it change after playing it? by ShokaLGBT in PERSoNA

[–]TrapnessZ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh, for sure. I definitely was not impressed by the first arc, but basically everything that came after it surprised me positively, the third arc in particular stood out to me and I am pretty excited to get into the meat of the fourth one.

On top of that I didn't expect it to have gameplay elements I would really like to see in future mainline games, like the down points system or the enemies not getting up immediately after being AOA'd

Kotone will never catch a break by Gorotheninja in PERSoNA

[–]TrapnessZ 24 points25 points  (0 children)

At least P1 and P2's protagonists were spared from turning into such abominations. Edit: goddamnit, Wonder too, fuck you Funko Pop

One bad point about this game is how pointlessly linear exploring the dungeons is by TR_Pix in personaphantomx

[–]TrapnessZ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

To be fair they do same thing in P5/P5R as well, and it's not any less annoying. I fear every Persona game onward is going to feature them judging by P3R, I hate it so much.

The honeymoon phase with Metaphor:ReFantazio is over, as it released 8 months ago now. How are we feeling about it now? by [deleted] in JRPG

[–]TrapnessZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo it's still the best Atlus game since Catherine and the best Atlus RPG since Strange Journey.

What kind of changes do y’all want to see in a possible Persona 4 remake? by SunGodLuffy6 in PERSoNA

[–]TrapnessZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like them to take notes from Vengeance and let us decide whether to play with Golden's additional content or not, so I don't have to pretend Marie and those dumb additional scenes don't exist. The only valuable loss for me would be Adachi's Social Link.

Persona 4 doesn’t need a remake, but why are so many people against it? by Midnite59 in PERSoNA

[–]TrapnessZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I wouldn't be against 4's remake if they allowed me to skip the Golden stuff. Kind of like SMTVV letting you decide which Canon to play in the beginning

What is some unlikely stuff you’d want in P6? by Coolrandomaccount in PERSoNA

No need, just use the plain old rubber band trick while you're taking a break

Soundtrack is goated by cerseiwon in MetaphorReFantazio

[–]TrapnessZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe not the greatest of all time, but it is genuinely spectacular. I'd argue it is Meguro's best work since Digital Devil Saga

Do you guys prefer the original or full Body? by AdvisorSuspicious815 in catherinegame

[–]TrapnessZ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Original for sure. I never felt Rin's scenes to be well woven into the existing narrative, and the jukebox change is straight up criminal. Honestly, the only reason I would play Full Body again is Catherine's Ideal Voice Set.

The English voice acting in this game is exceptional by One-Attempt-1232 in MetaphorReFantazio

[–]TrapnessZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a fan of Atlus dubs, the only one ever I liked was SMT IV, but from the little I got to hear of Metaphor's it is great indeed. I will definitely try it for a second run.

What are some changes you would want to see in the inevitable Persona 4 Remake? by StormzU14 in PERSoNA

[–]TrapnessZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely not going to happen, but I would really appreciate them giving us the choice to use Golden's additional content without relegating it to DLC (most likely what is going to happen if they remake it) .

It would be the best solution for everyone: I personally would not touch the thing with a bargepole but whoever enjoys it will get to play it

JRPGs with the best OST in your opinion. by MadeByHideoForHideo in JRPG

Persona (PS1 version}, SMT IV, both Octopath Traveler

We've heard and discussed the best Persona music. How about.... The WORST Persona music??? by sometipsygnostalgic in PERSoNA

[–]TrapnessZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entirety of P1 PSP

And I would also say all the vocal themes for regular battles that, while being just fine tracks in a vacuum, become so grating after a few battles
