Should I know anything before buying SMTV:V

The title is pretty self explanatory. But should I know anything before I buy this game? I've play Persona 3 Portable, Persona 3 Reload, Persona 4 Golden, Persona 5 Royal, Persona Q, and Metaphor Rafantazio. But I've megaten is alot different and harder than these games.

i'm thinking about buying persona 3 reload, should i buy the dlc as well?

I want to buy it during the Steam summer sale, but for some reason the DLC is separate from Persona 3 Reload, even though it wasn't in the older games. I've also heard mixed reviews about Aigis, so should I buy it or no?

Could we band up and ask Atlus for a Switch 2 upgrade pack for Vengeance?

The game is currently on sale on the eShop, so I'm sure it'll bring in some new fans. It's a really fun game, and it was quite a ride as my first Megaten title back on the Switch 1.

Now that I own a Switch 2, though, I can't help comparing it to the PS5 version. The 30 FPS is playable, but it doesn't really feel acceptable anymore. The visuals are fine, but they're far from ideal.

Persona 5 is another game I'm not particularly interested in replaying, but it definitely deserves an upgrade pack. Just please don't pull a Sonic Frontiers: Definitive Edition and make people pay another $60-70 for the same game.

Artist: Mabelle Garcia, in Gallarate (Italy)

The initial design is, at the third image, i was searching for a design for my favorite game, shin Megami tensei IV and i found it, but it was a bit complicated find a tattoo artist who i trust and i found her, source, for the moment she works alone, but soon will start with making tattoos in some studio nearby Gallarate. At the start i was thinking to leave the design just like in the third image, but when i send to her some other images in game of this her idea to add the Rhombus around the design and as like the nuances, it was really better than i was thinking could be! And i am really happy surely i will make her others tattoos!

Persona 4 Animation dub upscaling

Question to anyone with a brain. So I have the entire Persona 4 Animation with the English dub and I wanted to upscale the video for it since it’s on my PlayStation Portable and it looks like total ASS on a modern television. Would anyone know some good PC or Mac apps to upscale the videos? I have both a super powerful gaming PC and a 2019 Mac Pro that I think can do the job. If anyone has any recommendations let me know!

How should I sort the games?

Currently I did it manually and sorted Date added (Old-New) but would it look better if it was release date?

1 Year Later and Still No Switch 2 Upgrades of Persona Games

I was ready to purchase the Persona bundle off the eShop since it's on sale right now for $35 CAD just to look into it and find out they haven't been upgraded for Switch 2 yet. What gives?

My Atlus con haul

I was at a con over the weekend and i got some neat stuff. Got Alejandro Saab to sign my copy of P3R and Patrick Seitz to sign Devil Survivor Overclocked.

Then at a Persona trivia panel, someone was giving out P6 buttons.

I was fortunate to get a print and autograph of P4R Yu's voice actor Nazeeh Tarsha. He told me that he has so much respect to Johnny and his performance as Yu, he made sure he got Johnny's blessing before accepting the role. Nazeeh said he'll never just sign as "Yu" but as "Yu-Revival" because Johnny's the og and wants to respect his role.

Last but not least, I got these sick SMT3 and Metaphor art pieces by Inner Demon Artwork (@innerdemoncross). They look so awesome, and I really wanted a Metaphor fanart

i'm pretty sure i figured out what "jrpg 3.0" is

remember this interview with Hashino from a year back, when he waxed poetical about persona 6 being a leap forward in jrpg gameplay evolution? here's the source: https://kotaku.com/persona-director-says-jrpg-3-0-is-coming-to-re-shape-the-genre-at-a-fundamental-level-2000647233

well, i think this "fundamental change" is gonna be a rehaul of P3 FES's indirect command battle system! something akin to paradigm shifts from ff xiii i presume, but with years more worth of thinking it through put into it.

many factors lead me to this conclusion, but the main one is metaphor: re fantazio. it's development cycle was particularly arduous and long, and while the effort put into the worldbuilding is certainly impressive, it's not 10+ years of effort impressive, with all due respect. i believe that most of those development years was actually spent on this new battle system.

this kind system would fit metaphor's ludonarrative like a glove! the game is already about the mc becoming king, his status is inherently higher than that of his party members, so a system that makes you feel like a leader of a well-coordinated group would be a natural fit. metaphor already has this weird persona 3 sheen to it, with the mc's emo hairstyle and his ability to wield multiple weapons - i believe those are akin to vestigal organs from when metaphor re: fantazio was something akin to a soft remake of persona 3. these references are just kind of confusing now, dangling loose ends, but they'd make perfect sense to be kept as a reference to the game that once tried and failed to introduce this indirect command battle system.

so, why did metaphor change? well, it was prolly an interference from sega. the current media market isn't exactly kind to new IPs, so i guess the suits were afraid that a change of both gameplay and story / aesthetics at the same time would mean that we wouldn't buy their new game enough. so, they threw in press turn and social links to not scare the hoes too much, and moved the new battle system's debut to be in persona 6 instead (it needs to farm as much aura as possible to match p5's success anyways). i'd love to think that they underestimate us, but i'm not too sure tbh.

if i'm right, it's a real shame metaphor got shafted like this, but it's also exciting as BALLS to see this gameplay finally get a second chance. people complaining about the compete disregard of the indirect command battle system in p3 reload are a minority, but definitely a significant one. i'm sure that there's a number of atlus employees that share this sense of attachment to these mechanics, and i wonder if they finally now have the chance to realize their vision?

or maybe i should just go outside xD can i bet on this somewhere tho lol im pretty sure im right
