So, I've been playing a lot more P4:G recently which I why I wanted to bump the thread a bit, while I never had a grudge against the game I actually hated how long the cut scenes can be. I started playing it around a year ago but I never got far. I think I beat Chie's persona and was going to save Yukiko and sort of just gave up there. I picked it up again around June and I've been playing it since.
I just found the "killer" and had that omelet contest with Nanako and the rest of Mystery Inc, about 36 hours in or so right now.
It's not a bad game, and I do like how it's all stereotypical Japanese slice of life anime stuff, but the only thing I hate about the game is how if Yu dies, THE GAME IS FUCKING OVER. I get it's meant to be "you dying" but it's just annoying how someone else just can't revive me. I guess the game would be super easy then, but fuck me. I never expect the criticals that do 400 damage to Yu and then he dies.
As for the characters, I don't mind them. Kanji is surprising a good character, I thought he'd be the hot headed one that I'd hate, but actually turned out to be really good character who's probably the most interesting of the bunch just from how he acts. Yosuke is a cool guy as well, I know someone very much like him in real life and always put the two together so I enjoy his company more. I like Chie and her tomboyish attitude, but holy shit she's actually a bitch for using Yosuke's money to buy Teddie's clothes. Yukiko is kinda plain to be honest, I get she's meant to be the "Japanese beauty" and all that, but she just seems really plain in the game. As for Rise, just rescued her and she's having lewd thoughts about everything so I can't really say anything about her character. I don't mind Teddie, he's a lovable idiot. Haven't met anyone else yet, I know that Police Detective is going to join our group, but that's it.
I hear P4 is like Halo 4 in which "It's a good X game, but not a good Y game" so I assume playing P1, 2 and 3 won't be the same as this game. Since I really like how this game feels and plays.
