Persona 4 has always been a dark game

Persona 4 has always been a dark game

Ok so ever since that new trailer, I've seen people say that this doesn't really fit P4 since it has much darker tone, some have even said that it seems darker than P3 which shouldn't be the case but I honestly don't know if these people played the game because P4 is very dark, like it probably has some of the darkest and most unsettling moments in the series so far or at least in the modern 3.

The tv world is already a really dark place in general with you can die if you aren't save but Ms Yamano's room is still a very unsettling thing with how it's shown and what it implies. You have the Fog when it fully takes over the town and has that creepy music in the back. I think what makes P4 so unsettling is just what some of the moments actully mean when you think about it. I know P4 has a very upbeat tone throughout the story but I do think it's underrated when it comes to how dark and unsettling it can be. I mean the shadow's alone are pretty dark with how they are and what they represent. There are a lot more dark moments I could bring up but that would take too long.

Who are the new VA's for the club social links.

Does anyone have a guess of who the new VA's are for the club social links. The only guess I have is Kou being Zach Aguilar, Daisuke sounds so similar but I can't tell same with Yumi but I have no idea who Ayane is.

What do you think is the reason for new actors.

I'll be honest, it is def not just money, money is def part of it but not the whole reason imo because cmon Abby and Amber are no way not that cheaper than some of the OG ones. In Atlus defense when looking into the future, will the OG actors keep coming back for P4 in the next 10 to 20 years? If P6 does well then we all know they are gonna milk that game with spinoffs and other stuff probably with the previous ones maybe like a PQ3, or they might just try to do more content for P4 and even P3 for the next decade or so. And if that's the case then are the OG actors really gonna be working for that long at least as consistant as before. Again if Atlus is looking at this like that.

If you look at the ages for P4's og actors most of them are in their 50s some are in thier late or midde of 40s. Not trying to be mean or disrespectful to them but are they really going to be doing this for the next 10 to 20 years if that is Atlus's plan. Like Yuri is 55, I'm sure he's going to retire soon, or at least not be as active as he was. I'm not saying they wouldn't keep acting because there are some voice actors who still work even past 60. And if it was up to me I would want the old actors back for this. I'm just saying this could be how Atlus sees it, the P4R actors are mostly in their 30s or early 40s. So I could see them doing more content for P4 over the years.

Now obviously they brought back Johnny which they also did with Tara because I guess the voices are just too iconic which is true. Again money does play a part into this but I don't it's the whole reason. I've also seen people say why can Danganronpa 2x2 have all OG actors back and to that remember that's a visual novel which I think wouldn't cost as much to make compared to a JRPG. (Also I'm fine with the new actors I think they sound great but I would still want the OG back if I had the choice).

What was the fanbase initial reaction to WOU?

So I know people hate Toru and the fact that he's introduced so late but what was the fan reactions to WoU's debut in the part. Were fans angry or something, what were theories of it's power. I'm more of a recent Jojo fan so I wouldn't know. I love WoU and I was very invested and excited when reading that whole arc alongside learning about Toru. Also don't know if this is a hot take but this is imo one of the best arcs in Jojo and probably my favorite final battle.

What are some small moments you like in a Death battle

Moments that aren't really big or anything but you like it because it's funny or it's just a cool detail. For example for me I still love that Darkseid was for some reason ok with Deadpool, like who knows how long Deadpool was talking to him and somehow Darkseid wasn't pissed off from any of that. I also like how at end he just uses Deadpool to win.

IDK if this counts as a "cool" detail or smal moment but the fact that Void brought up Laurie when he had Prime is just insane, like of all the things to bring up to Prime, you bring up her. There's no way Prime was never not going to be pissed from that.

No one is forcing you to watch these trailers

I'm going to be honest, I'm so tired of this whole "They're just going to spoil the game now" "They're showing too much now" "Acting like it comes out next week". I get it but I prefer this way more than them just showing nothing for months. If Atlus wasn't showing anything or not as much I'm sure people would complain about that. No one is forcing you watch these trailers, if you don't want to be "spolied" on a remake for game that's been out for years then just don't watch it. Same thing for leaks.

Besides all they been doing is showing the main cast and extensions of stuff we've already seen. Again if you don't want to see it then don't watch it. I don't see why that's so hard. I'm glad that their releasing a lot of trailers, it gives us the choice to watch or not. Which I find way better than no information or lack of information.

What's your favorite end line for an analysis?

What's an analysis where the way they end it off and the line they use is just so good. For me I love the way they end Superman's 3rd analysis, "He's the kind of person to save cat from a tree, answer christmas cards from strangers, and tow hundreads of planets to a new galaxy all in the same day, what's not to like? Truth and Justice has no better champion than the Man of Steel."

Another one of my favorites is how they end Maka's analysis, her analysis alone is so good and I'm not even a Soul Eater fan (Don't worry I will be soon). "Because a sound soul dwells within a sound mind and body so should you feel overwhelmed by evil's roar just write 42 42 564 whenever you want to knock on death's door."

Sometimes they kind of force it and it just doesn't hit the same like in Deku's first analysis that ending line felt very forced to me. But what are your favorites.

Hey, no matter what happens this year, just remember we won it and did this

Look I'm not saying we won't do good or anything, I just already know this season is gonna be crazy but see I'm happy going in simply because we had possibly the best season in so long and had so many great wins. But don't get me wrong I want the Rams and others to lose again just because it would be funny. Of course I still want us to win.

Is there a remix you already like? [NO SPOILERS]

I know this will make some mad but I actually already like the new Time to Make History more than the OG one. I also really like the new Heartbeat Heartbreak since they're doing the full song, I don't know if I would say it's better than the old one but I love it so far from what I've heard. I don't agree with people saying every remix is bad or they're ruining the OST. I'm someone who thought some of P3R remixes were better than OG P3. I was mixed on Backside To The TV but once I heard that they're doing it in a glitch or distortied style it started to grow on me.

P4R is making me love Teddie more. [NO SPOILERS]

I'm already one of the few people who actually loves Teddie and thinks he's underrated and I love what they are doing with him in P4R, he looks more cute in this game with his costume and I love his experessions from videos we've gotten. And so far I also love the new voice actor, I think they're doing a great job of showing how Teddie is actually supposed to act in the game. Since from the Japanense side Teddie is more like a little kid learning about the world where as the western side has him acting and sounding a lot more pervy then he is. I can't wait to see his Sizzle if they do one for him. But I already know Shadow Teddie is gonna look creepy.

Has there been a Death Battle that made you a fan of a character?

Has there been a video where you disliked or just didn't know a character and the video somehow made you become a fan of that character? For me it's Clive, I knew nothing about FF16 or anything about FF other than 7 which I also haven't played (I know I'm crazy). On the other hand I'm a huge DMC fan and I love Dante so of course I was rooting for him and I was sad that he lost.

I don't know how but for some reason when watching the video, it felt like I was more on Clive's side and was actually starting to root for him more then Dante. And now I've become a fan of Clive despite again I haven't played his game or any FF game. The video made me into such a fan that I literally bought FF16 right after and now I plan to play it.

Has anyone else had this happen to them? It was just such a weird feeling, like it felt like I was becoming hypnotized into liking Clive and now I'm a huge fan of Clive who thinks he's awesome. There's been other DB's that made me interested in a series or into a character but never on this level.

One hope for Lanterns with Hal

I really hope Hal doesn't die even though it seems he will. Hal is personally my favorite and I've always just been mad with how disrespected he's been in general media. He has so many great moments in the comcis but whenever I see him in media it's always a joke like him being beat up by the parademons, people really hating him compared to John and Kyle, and of course the live action movie.

I just hope this show does something that really shows how cool and awesome he is but apart of me wishes that we got see a more young side of him (and more of his story) just cause again it does seem like he's dying. If he does die then maybe we can get a younger version of Hal from the past in later stories since stuff like that happens in the Green Lantern comics. I just want Hal to get more respect on the screens, and I really want to see his story done well.

Ever wondered what happens after a Death battle?

What I mean is does anyone have any personal headcanons on what happens after the battle is finished. For example for me I like to think that Jonathan had to fight Nezuko since I fully believe that she was crazy pissed at Jonathan for killing Tanjiro but Jonathan would be able to convince Nezuko that he's sorry and that he'll protect her now. Then Jonathan now has to fight both Muzan and Dio with Nezuko.

Another one is I like to believe that Dimitri killed the demons than went and learned about who Guts was and everything that happened in his life and just decided to go get revenge for Guts and take down everyone who ruinied his life.

What's some of the worst reactions/takes on Death battle by Youtubers

Whats a reaction video or even a debunk from a Youtuber that you believe was just dumb, overeaction, or just crazy and just too much even for Death Battle standards. For me I have to go with Classic Man D. Don't get me wrong he's makes good content but when ever he talks about Death battle I just get pissed because my goodness some of his takes are just insane and it always bowls down to him claiming that DB is bias to the character that won and not the character he thinks should have won.

If I had to pick one video and not a Youtuber, that one renegade reaction to Saitama vs Popeye is still to this day one of the worst reactions I've seen to a death battle video and it's one of the reason I just think DB can just be underrated sometimes, again sometimes.

EDIT: YOU NOW WHAT I'M NOT DONE. OK YOU KNOW WHAT PISSES ME OFF THE MOST IS HOW SO MANY YOUTUBERS TRY TO ACT LIKE THEY'RE SO PERFECT AT THIS STUFF, THEY'LL MAKE VIDEOS LIKE "OH DEATH BATTLE FINALLY GOT ONE RIGHT" OR "DEATH BATTLE JUST CAN'T DO IT, THEY CAN'T LISTEN" SHUT THE HELL UP, I DON'T SEE YOU DOING ALL THIS. DON'T ACT LIKE YOU'RE SO PERFECT AT THIS. PUT SOME RESPECT ON DEATH BATTLE'S NAME. (death battle ain't perfect either, no one is).

How would Gappy react to Jodio if he returns?

Not saying he should or he will, but if Josuke was ever to return how would he react to Jodio and his friends. Would Josuke fight them on sight or would he actually fully understand Jodio's motivation alongside his friends. Personally I do think Josuke would fight or do something to stop Jodio especially if that meant getting any new information on the family and Jodio's mom. Also because I don't think Josuke would like what Jodio and his friends are doing. I don't know how Jodio would be able to convince that what he's doing is ok to Josuke.

Will Batman be the one to beat Clayface?

Obviously I don't think Batman will be a huge part of the movie. But do you think they'll do some kind of reference or maybe he'll appear at the end. Kind of like what they did with Dr phosphorus. Because who else is going to stop Clayface in Gotham other than Batman. It has to be Batman right? Like I said I don't think he'll be in the film overall because that def would have been known by now. But I do think he'll appear or be shown in some way to show us that Batman took down Clayface. Either that or it's just another Penguin situation where we see the bat signal or something showing that Batman is going after Clayface.

Part 6 is one of those stories that I don't want to rewatch/reread.

I've rewatched and reread Jojo so many times but the one part that I've rewatched/reread the least is Stone ocean. Now it isn't because I hate Part 6, it's great. It's because it's one of those stories thats so bittersweet that it just leaves you empty and sad every time and because you know how it ends and where it goes, you just don't want to see it again like you want to stop at the happy ending. That's how I've always felt with stories like this.

Good example is Tmnt Last Ronin, I'm so used to the Turtles being wholesome brothers fighting crime but once I read that comic I never wanted to reread it again because of how sad that story is. BUT MY GOODNESS IT'S SO GOOD. SAME IS SAID FOR PART 6. Everytime I start Part 6 I get this depressive feeling because I know where the story goes and that ending always breaks me. BUT IT'S SO GOOD. Distant dreamer makes me so sad everytime.

Part of It is Pucci, not gonna lie I was literally afraid of Pucci once I finished Part 6, Pucci to this day gives me a scary feeling and just makes me step back. Like MIH is a terrifying stand, the way Pucci is in that final battle and MIH power is just crazy. But again it's so good. He's such a good villain. Part 6 is so good but man it's always a sad story to go back to and a really intense one. I don't know if there's a term for this feeling towards these type of stories.

What's a complaint about the remake, you disagree with. [NO SPOILERS]

This may be a hot take but I really love the portaits, I will admit at first I was kind of shocked but honestly they have grown on me and I've loved them. I can admit the lacking of shade is weird and eyes and stuff but to be honest in my opinion, I think it fits P4 so perfectly I like how bright/strong the colors of the portaits are, I think they really stand out for the game. Compared to P3R I think it's a nice difference. I like to imagine they're standing in a bright light or sun which again I think fits P4 a lot. IDK the style of it just in my opinion really matches P4 for me at least. BUT I NEED TO SEE ADACHI, he's really funny (and who voices him).

What complaint do you disagree with?

I actually think the school looks fine [SPOILERS]

I've seen most people say that the school looks plain and unfinished. To be honest at least to me, the school looks fine and I kind of like it. Now for one we've only seen the school on rainy and cloudy days but I think lighting actually fits on those type of days, I mean look at the lights they have in the school. As someone who went to an old school similar to Yasogami, I can for sure say that those lights and the lighting in general on a cloudy/rainy day does make the school very plain and old. Which I think that fits P4 and the whole country town vibe.

I think it's great that it doesn't look like P3R because it shouldn't look like Gekkoukan, Gekkoukan is way more advanced school than Yasogami, obviously it would look better and more modern. I mean the team even mention how Gekkoukan pretty much outclasses Yasogami during the P3 trip. And they also talk about it in spinoffs. Personally I like it but I do want to see it during the day.
