/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Waiting outside my mailbox. Bye /jp/.

Underrated!

C75 better fucking have some Naoto doujin.

Nice rainbow brah.

Naoto, kaji and Yukiko are the only characters with decent subs.

If it doesn't work with PCSX2, I'm gonna cry, since I might have to play WoW or something.

Ready to undub it as soon as I get my hands on it.

>>1739130
Why don't you just buy a 2nd hand chip ps2?
It might cost less than $50.

>>1739130
Considering it's the same game engine as the third, it'll probably work fine.

>>1739132
I will love you forever and ever if you do that.

>>1739138
Well, I was being kinda melodramatic. I wouldn't actually play P4 if I had to pay for it. (I did / do have a chipped PS2, but it rarely works for shit anymore.)

>>1739132
Will you just be switching the audio or will you also sub the videos?

Have avoided spoilers like the plague, but now can't hold it nymore, so

WHO IS THE RIN LIKE LOOKING GURL? tsundere?

>>1739178
The videos are few, watch them on youtube if necessary.
Really, we talk about 10 minutes max.

>>1739151
How does the HDLoader work anyway? Do you burn the image to a disk, then put it into the PS2 and it copies it onto the HD from there?

>>1739206
Rise, voiced by the RIE: Not Tsundere
Yukiko: Not tsundere, not really.
Chie, voiced by Naru: ver slightly.

The tsundere girl of the game is not in the main party.

who needs tsundere when u have REVERSE TRAP HELL YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

EVERYDAY YOUNG LIFE JUNESU

Nice to see that I came to /jp/ not knowing that faggots hate dubs like there's no tomorrow here too.

I left /a/ for a reason, god damn it!

>>1739314
Hey, I think Atlus's dubs are decent.

But if I have an option to choose the undub, then hell yeah I'm choosing the undub.

>>1739314
The dub, excluding one main voice and one secondary, is pretty damn good/

But wanting to hear captain Hitsugaya confessing 'her' love, or NOT listening to english speaking characters say 'Senpai-Houhai' etc are respectable reasons.

>>1739314
I actually didn't hate the English VA in P3.

>>1739324
I can see why you left /a/.

You must have mention JYB and been stigmatized/

>>1739321
I think the dub is better to be honest.

Despite Tomokazu Seki, and Romi Paku.

JYB voicing the MC is too good of a deal to pass up.

>>1739314
You know, not all of us speak english as their main language, english for us is as foreign as japanese is, the only difference is that we understand the first.

>>1739327

No I left /a/ because I came here to discuss FSN one day and realized how shit /a/ was.

Then I just got interested in visual novels and here I am.

Speaking of good dubs.

Fuck year ZoE2, Ace Combat 5 and Zero.

>>1739322
I liked Aigis' voice. And Mitsuru's English seiyuu was probably better than inapprorpiate broad oujosama stereotype they made her in Japanese.

>>1739332
The only part I hated about Aigis is having her and Koromaru in the same party.

"Man's best friend indeed."

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

>>1739314
The only voice i didn't like was Fuukas one. Rest was from "eh ok" to "FUCK YEAH"

>>1739335

Look I don't care if you don't speak English. It's just that when you trash a dub it had better be worth trashing.

>>1739314

>DevilKing !hyg9TZ0oOg
>/a/
>dubs

Quick blog about your girlfriend and clubbing while you're at it.

I'm actually an expert at break dancing

>>1739341
Fuuka's voice improved from P3 to P3FES at least. And it kinda grows on you too. It's nice to know my ears haven't completely forsaken dubs yet.

>>1739343

I go to 4Chan, I have no real life. For you to assume I have such a standing is nice and all, but let's face facts here.

>>1739350
No way, that's impossible!

>>1739351

but i played the FES version.. wait so you mean she was worse on P3 normal?
FFF

>>1739358
Pretty much. I hear the guy who was in charge of the FES dub is doing P4 as well.

>>1739358
Her voice was all right, imo. Not grating enough for me to not find the character cute. Yukari, otoh...

>>1739358
It wasn't bad it was just irritating after hearing 'THERE ARE FOUR ENEMIES LEFT' over and over

>>1739358
Yeah, I though Fuuka sounded particularly robotic in P3. What made it worse was knowing that Mamiko Noto was her Japanese VA. I think that's why she was allowed to speak so much during battles.

>>1739314
You left /a/ because it was too elitist for you?

HAHAHAHA, POOR BASTARD.

We left /a/ because it's too fucking mainstream for us.

>>1739402

I left /a/ not because it was elitist. I could handle that.

I left because of all the annoying faggots.

>>1739402

I left /a/ because /a/ sucks.

>>1739405

I really need to get around to getting that PS2 hard drive thing. My console piracy is greatly lacking.

>>1739402

I left /a/ because it was too intolerably bad for me. Once you start having trouble telling your board and /b/ apart it's time to abandon ship.

You don't need the hdd + net adapter, just burn your stuff and play on modded ps2, it is cheaper that way if you don't own the adapter yet.

>>1739612
Enjoy your lazors.

Seriously, buy the HDD solution, it works pretty well (except some exceptions)

>>1739652
I only have a slimline PS2. What do I do?

>>1739612

Burning is a pain in the ass, though. HDD seems way more convenient.

>>1739332
I NEED YOUR HAAAAALP

anyone that says they liked aigis' voice is obligated to see that.

>>1739402
I never "left" /a/. I was never there in the first place.

>>1739353
Her dubbed voice is TERRIBLE. One of the worst I've heard so far.

Wait , it comes to the PS2 too?

OH LOLZ PS3 SUCKS

>>1740221

No it's not. It suits her well. She's a tomboy, not the peppy girl everyone was expecting.

>>1740233
Her voice is for a 24 years old guy. She sounds more like a trap than a tomboy.

But, that's like, my opinion man.

>>1740240

Funny because Danielle Judovits is 23 and woman, and here's another funny thing, Chie sounds like a woman. But with a deeper voice than you would've expected. Quit over exaggerating .

>>1740247
She lacks DONN~! Everything else is irrelevant.

The TV is actually just one of the portals of the Abyss. Any light source with a certain frequency can become a portal at midnight. The end boss is the head scientist trapped in his experiment. The bad ending is that the hero must remain in the Abyss as gate. The good ending is that your dog whom you saved sacrifices himself to become the gate.

>>1740304
Forgot your spoilers, bro.

Dropped the Japanese version so I could play the P2 fan translation!

Not sure if I wanna play it again. Maybe when a torrent comes out.

fucking game coming tomorrow, tired of waiting

My favorite game because its like im really in tokyo ^_^

Can't wait until Christmas break to play this.

>>1741063
Too bad it's a rural setting.

>>1741071

Great Improvement is Great

Reported.

Get this /v/ shit out of /jp/.

There's a torrent out. Go download.

>>1741476

It's related you faggot. Now scurry on back to whatever hole you crawled out of.

>>1741476
But you're already late and the discussion's over so yeah.

My copy won't be here for 3 days. Fuck you, Amazon.

Posting Naoto to make somebody feel good.

>>1741479
Lies

>>1741491

Lucky for us, it isn't mainstream.

>>1741481
mainstream games = /v/

>>1741487
Never fails/

>>1741487
Same here, Anon. I even got 2 day shipping.

>>1741491
but persona takes place in japan so yeah

>>1741491
>>Mainstream game
>>Persona

You've never actually played this, have you?

TORRENT WHERE!?

>>1741493

Indeed

Why the fuck are you guys even interested in this game?

It's just an overrated series that tries to appear special. Also, why the hell do you have the ability to play this?

>>1741497
Shin Megaten Nocturne and Persona 3 created a bandwagon where many fans rode in, so many at least know of the conglomerate now.
Not so indie anymore.

>>1741498
Don't be a completely lazy sack. It's even up on TPB.

>>1741497
Mainstream is a game that's made by a major company and release to the public.

Thus, Persona is mainstream, no matter how "niche" it seems.

>>1741505
Any game with a reverse trap is awesome. Don't deny it.

>>1741505
maybe because we like it?

The secondary Persona/Megaten fans are only in /v/.

We cool bros of /jp/ have always been fans since the very first game.

>>1741491

I liked it better when you were calling Ys mainstream, it was more outlandish.

>Why the fuck are you guys even interested in this game?

Persona 3 was the weeabooest console game ever released.

>Also, why the hell do you have the ability to play this?

Non-shit computer + Ps2 emulator.

Gamestop actually got a game on it's ship date.

Color me shocked.

And playing this instead of studying for exams.

FUCK YEAH

>>1741508

Atlus isn't a mainstream company though.

>>1741508
Mainstream has not just to do with the company.
Megaten was not exactly pop culture.

>>1741512
Ha. I bet no one here played the first two games for the SNES; especially before they played SMT/P3.

>>1741517
Then go to /v/.

>>1741505

Because it's a good RPG in the pile of shit today's RPG's are.

>>1741525
First ones were for the NES.
Elitist fuck.

>>1741520
>>1741523
Yes it is; there's a rather large following for their games, no matter how you bullshit yourself otherwise.

>>1741525
I played some SNES game from the series back in the day. I think it was because HotU gave it a great review. Didn't really care for it, though--the random dungeoneering in P3 didn't interest me at all, just the faux-VN elements.

>Shipment #1:
1 item - delivery estimate: December 10, 2008

Fuck yes

>>1741531

That doesn't make it mainstream. And those followings are very small.

Especially when you compare it to Squenix and publishers.

>>1741515
You can't play this on an emulator.

http://www.mininova.org/tor/2079191

torrents are up

also am i the only one with a modded PS2 here? Did you guys all sell it or what?

>>1741531
I said 'was', overreacting bitch.
Till 2003, unknown outside Japan, and inside Japan, good but not popular games.

Simple as that.
Now, they are famous, and borderline mainstream, but when you compare it to games like Fallout 3 coming out...

>>1741541
I have one too.
New PC could prolly emulate it, but why not use the proper machine with 100% compatibility?

>>1741541
I don't have a TV to play it on and my PS2 got lost.

>>1741541

I plan to get one at some point.

>>1741539
P3 works fine on PCSX2. P4's running on the same engine. If they have to tweak the emu a bit before it works right, I guess I'll just have to wait.

>>1741541
I have a modded Ps2. Laser is shot.

I have the standard Japanese computer (P4, GeForce 6200, 1 GB RAM, 15" monitor.., etc.)

Also, no TV nor PS2.

>>1741541
Could be a fake, the nfo says it's Eternal Poison, but the dimension it's nearly the same as the JAP version so maybe it's a type.

>>1741560
eternal poison is like 1.6 gigs though

>>1741560
Burned it and checked it out it's P4

>>1741551

Same here, it hasn't been able to read a disc in over a year. Not that it needs to once it was modded.

>>1741727
>4 seeds, 771 leechers
OH WOW

Torrents up on blackcats
Shin Megami Tensei Persona 4 NTSC PS2DVD-STRiKE

Never played any of the other Megaten games. Would this be as good a starting point as any?

>>1742137

Play Nocturne first, it's the best one.

>>1742073
What ever happened to the Blackcats website?

I already have an account but everytime I visit it, it takes me to that company webpage.

>>1742149
He said starting point, not BALL BUSTINGLY DIFFICULT

>>1742159

I had a blackcats account but I could never connect to their server because of that retarded userkey thing; it's the only private server that ever gave me trouble.

>>1742159
Type in ttstownab, scroll to the bottom etc
Thats if you got the key, if not you're screwed
>>1742178
If you read all the announcements (which were posted like a month before the change) then logging in wouldn't be a problem.

>>1742260
Oh well, I could get everything easier from other sites anyway.

>>1742337
Depends how you see it. I'm getting really fast speed atm with 197 seeds. I'm sure the public torrent with>>1742044 will take much longer.

I honestly don't understand why Persona 3 got so popular. The characters were kinda intersting I guess but the battle system was horrendous and "LOL IM TIERD WE CAN COM BAK 2MORRO" just fucking pissed me off. How am I supposed to beat even the first boss if my teammates have FUCKED OFF HOME before I even get there?

>>1742488
If you suck at pacing your battles, you deserve it.
As for P3 being more popular, being one of the easier games and following some VERY good releases of the conglomerate in the PS2 helped.

>>1742503
What do you mean "pacing your battles"? I'm supposed to be killing shit, not dancing.

>>1742526
Faggots who try to clear shit in one go instead of returning to the base and resting, restoring H), PP, getting new weapons, items or make sure the characters are not tired/poisoned/cursed etc, deserve to be tentacle monster fodder.

Capiche?

>>1742543
I did that. Then when I went back I had to clear my way through again and the fuckers all got tired AGAIN. In a game where you're supposed to be time-restricted that's such a fucking stupid mechanic.

>>1742600
Second tip:
In a game where you CAN avoid enemies, do so.

Fighting creatures that give you 1/100 of the XP required to level up but tire you equally SHOULD be ignored.

With 3-4 visits per MONTH (each visit about an hour, or hour and a half in later flours), you can easily do all battle quests and get enough levels to clear bosses.

The torrent looks like the inferior store bought version.

Wait for the cracked undub. Atlus' English voice acting is decent, but it is in no way comparable to the talent found in the Japanese version.

Are you guys really so pathetic that you have to pirate this?

The damn game is only $35. Not to mention I would prefer to support companies who still release games for the PS2.

>>1742634
That's such an aggravating system. I've been trained by a myriad different RPGs to kill absolutely every single fucking thing I see, otherwise I'll be underleveled for bosses. And in a game where I KNOW that I can't fall behind the curve or I WILL end up with no time to grind and bosses too hard to beat at my level, deliberately gicing up XP because of some shitty "tiredness" mechanic pisses me the fuck off.

>>1742642
Not everyone is familiar enough with the Jp language to appreciate the voice acting, but since this IS /jp/, I guess this argument was needless.

Hopefully, it will come out fast.

>>1742634

In the later levels, I was usually able to clear the bosses and complete Elizabeth's quests within 3-4 days of the floor opening up. By the time the full moon rolled around I was just itching to fight something. Although the floor bosses were almost always harder than the full moon bosses.

>>1742650
Not every RPG requires to just slay and slay endlessly else you are hopeless, dammit.

Some cases require simple SKILL,STRATEGY AND PREPTIME.

>>1742650

Just have a second save a week before the full moon so that if the boss crushes you you still have time to grind more. And it's not the game's system that's retarded, you're just stuck in a Dragon Quest mindset or something.

>>1742600
Hohoho, Silly Anon. You were doing it wrong.
They got tired? Fine, we'll end it for the night. But only after you drag your lazy ass up the stairs to the boss room.

>>1742488
Suck it up and fight while sleepy without going back to the entrance. Or grind on the night before the full moon.

>>1742687
They changed that in FES. You could get tired on the night before a full moon.

>>1742667
>SKILL
Skill is fine, I have no problem with skill or the need for it.
>STRATEGY
Again, no problem with this.
>PREPTIME
You're going to have to expand on this for me, because I just read that as "GRIND MOAR".

Is there a reason why ATLAS doesn't release it with both English and Jap voices?

Even the DBZ games did it. ATLUS should know that everyone who buys their games is a weeaboo who watches subs.

>>1742700
Fighting the boss, seeing it's skills and reloading.
Can be avoided in the specific game by making sure your Personae cover most skills, but you may just bring two members who are weak against lighting and fight a boss who fires thunder from his ass.

>>1742721
Size issues, copyright issues, hate weeaboos.

>>1742736
The DBZ games did it, they have no excuse.

I'm calling in weeaboo tomorrow to protest this bull.

>>1742750
Many games do it, but they have no need to cater to tards who don't even buy their games.

>>1742724
>two members who are weak against lighting

You always used Yukari and Aigis, too?

I never really felt the need to grind, you just suck shit. Seriously, kids these days are so dumb they'd probably say you need to grind in Zelda or something.

bandwagon hoppan gaems

>>1742762
Gotta grind for heart pieces, scrub.

>>1742762
I never felt a "need" to grind as such, it's just "what you do" in an RPG so it's what I did. I never found out whether I was over- or under-levelled because I never made it to the first boss because my partymembers kept fucking off home.

>>1742721
Namco does it too. Obviously a large number of people would like to have Japanese voices for Tales of games, but they never include them. Answer is in >>1742736 for them too though.

>>1742763
Aegis is awesome and Yukari is the slut.
Every party needs a slut.

>>1742763
I actually avoided Yukari.

Mitsuru, Aigis and Akihiko for serious battles, switching out any weakness, then taking the rest for a level-up session.

>>1742721

For games, I don't really care if it's dual audio or not so long as the English dub isn't mind-shatteringly horrible. I'd rather listen to a language I can understand, and I don't owe allegiance to any seiyuu nor can I recognize one just from their voice (nor can I name anyone besides the most popular like Rie Kugamiya). Although it was nice for Odin Sphere since the English VA was horrible and it had Saber's va as the valkyrie for the Japanese track.

>>1742805

Does everyone just ignore the dog and Ken?

>>1742871

doubt it, since they are quite essential to some boss fight

>>1742884

lol, which ones? I literally never used them.

>>1742890
There's bosses that spam mudo and whatsitcalled, so having Koromaru and Ken is helpful.

>>1742871
Koromaru is fucking awesome before the rest get their Personae resolutions.

Casting both fire (better than Junpei) and Mudo (only member other than Jesus) and a great evasion make him an AWESOME member.

But after the resolutions, his stats are just lacking.

Honestly, I don't care if something is dubbed by fucking Disney, I'll usually prefer the subs anyway, simply because the lyricism of the original language is lost in translation by necessity. Acting and content can easily be translated, but the nature of the language itself cannot.

Naoto's dub voice is a ship adrift in boner ocean.

I won't get this game for a while (super slow shipping) but I still need to finish Persona 3 so it's all good

>>1742925
Good or bad?

I came.

>>1742983

I just hope she won't start talking all girly-girly once you discover that she's a girl.

>>1743013
Only in very specific optional scenes.

>>1743035

Alright, because if she ditched her deep voice and adopted a valley girl accent or something after the secret was out in the open then I would break my controller.

>>1743035
so, is there implied sex with her at the end of her social link this time around as well?

>>1743065
From what I heard, Naoto's S. Link requires two different stats and there's possible FRIENDSHIP ONLY BAD ENDS. ;_;

>>1743065
The standard 'Let's go to your room', profound dialogue, resolution, confession, screen blackens, 'You spent a lotta time'.

>>1743072
Apart from requiring maximum stats, there are two occasions where you can miss the lovers flag (all girls have flags that can be missed, some harder, some easier like the very last choice you make)

>>1743065

She lubes your barrel, if you know what I mean.

>>1743121
Evokers don't shoot bullets, what's the point of cleaning the barrels?

I like Yukiko because she looks like Akiha. I can only hope that she acts like her, too.

>>1743135
Paying respect to the spirit that lives within it is a good habit.
