[P4AU] News & Gameplay Discussion

Recommended Posts

Thanks for the subbed trailer Flux. Winter 2013 arcade release? Just according to Keikaku. With Xrd releasing in the spring, a late november/december release was always logical to me and still is the most logical. Can't wait to spend Day 1 of arcade release hungrily searching for Labrys footage.

Dunno. I mean, unless they have done a lot of changes from the previous built, I don't see the point of having another loketest if they ain't bringing anything new.

Loketests are more for testing balance than they are showing off new stuff and 1 weekend with the game is hardly enough time to see what players can find. In particular, now that people have a better understanding of what the new tools and properties are and what they do, we might see some early combo paths and gameplans develop in this weekend's loketest.

They're definitely putting emphasis on the gameplay/system changes. Hoping we'll get an announcement for a console reason (And NA...please) by this year's E3.

If the game is releasing in winter 2013 or even before 2014, I think there's a good chance we'll get the console release about the same time as E3 but it's hard to tell. IMO, I think it will pretty much take the same amount of time to go from Arcade to Console as P4A. Developers tend to work faster when they are being paid by someone else to do things. Also, I suspect that with the P4A series that Atlus mostly handles all the story mode related stuff (Art, dialogue, structure, etc.) themselves and all ASW has to do is implement it. This would not only lighten ASW's workload but also allows that stuff to be worked on right away since Atlus doesn't have to worry about the arcade release too much outside of arcade mode dialogue and endings. I wouldn't worry too much about the NA localization either. Atlus USA will probably do localization themselves and are seasoned localization vets. I was pleased with how quickly P4A got localized.

I'm liking all the news about Liz's buffs. She won't get sat on anymore.

Also... wishing... wishing for that 360 release. But then, I'm still in the UK, so it will probably come like only 2 years later.

Makes me wonder why the EU release was actually quite late.

Isn't スラッガ一 "slugger," not "slacker," or is that just another example of Engrish weirdness?

edit: OK, I actually looked the word up, and it fits. Apparently, a slugger in baseball is someone who goes for big hits, like homeruns, which is very accurate for someone like Junpei. Also, "slacker" already has equivalents in Japanese, so there wouldn't be any reason to use Engrish for it. So yeah, SRK misread the kana.

No idea. Best bet is to check the twitter of people who went last time like Jiyuna and Stunedge.

Now that I know that the S-Hold system can make more than 1 skill come out, I'm even more curious about the S-Hold system than before. Hopefully we get a lot more details on it this weekend.

good people to follow for this loketest:

for ~anything~ elizabeth related, okusan will be putting the info out: https://twitter.com/okusan_nikuya

yukiko and anything else he can pass on, ho-chan/stunedge: https://twitter.com/hc0519

denpa for naoto stuff: https://twitter.com/radiowave777

bobu for labrys: https://twitter.com/bob00318

i believe domi was letting some info for akihiko out last time: https://twitter.com/dwomy

hama did info for narukami last time, I don't have a link to his twitter however

for -everything- kanji related, and a long smattering of other info I'll be translating as people get it to me of every character variety (with #1 priority being Kanji), my twitter - https://twitter.com/Omecross

https://www.evernote.com/shard/s43/sh/0e9b830d-5702-4866-a1d5-0c8e1e1c2a8f/c7f1fbbc1497cce8cfc1b1cf907c8732 this evernote SHOULD be updated with new information, run by ho-chan similarly.

that's the best i've got for the moment of who to look at/follow, but I'll be buying some caffine and doing nothing else the loketest weekend like I did last time but translating and doing my best to keep everyone updated/all the info accurate.

Edit: on that note, similar to the pastebins of yesterloketest, I will be doing my best to keep absolutely all new info compiled/translated into https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P3-fyaHUzfgguGgELgt-Cw0QapJ2ZhvZZV8o2kL0BUg/edit# this location. bookmark it!

Anyone else see the resemblance between Sho and Yu besides me?

They have similar swords. But Sho resembles the weapon shop owner much more.

Not to mention the same type of eye's.

Apparently In the famitsu article, it said they still aren't planning a console release. But I'll keep holding on to hope. I mean hype.
