The Persona Series: Who Wants To Talk About Murders?!

[ScrambledBrains]

Greetings, my fellow Persona fans. I post this new thread for three reasons:

1. To create a place on forum where people can come to ask for advice in any of the games in the series. I personally have only played Persona 3:FES, and Persona 4(Both Golden and Regular) and I would be very happy to offer advice(Both for the combat, and for the more social aspects of the game.) for either of them. I make no claim to be a specialist(An RPG lover, yes, but not a specialist), but I am pretty good(Considering I beat both games with Max S-link, First Playthrough, True Endings. And yes...Max S-link runs are as hard to pull off as you'd think.)

2. To post speculation or new data that pops up regarding (the announced but otherwise naught but speculation) Persona 5. I am keeping an eye on this one like a hawk, and if anyone finds new data, or has any theories, I implore you to post them here, and reveal them.

And finally...

3. To post our opinions about Persona 4: The Golden. Speaking of which...

My opinion on the new voice actors:

Teddie's new voice actor: Brilliant. I'd go so far as to commit blasphemy and say Sam Riegel is better than Dave Wittenburg. He's a tad more goofy, and more exhuberant, which works for Teddie. And his new lines...hilarious.

Chie's new voice actor: ...A mixed bag. Erin Fitzgerald is not precisely bad. In a couple ways, she's superior to Tracy Rooney, with some of the more low-key lines. However...the lines where Chie's shouting, or yelling...Erin occasionally does them squeakily. It's not an unforgivable thing, and she does grow on ya, but some of them are annoying.

The new Social Links:

Aeon: A very good link, one which draws you into the new character, and makes you like her, in my opinion at least. She grew a lot on me after the bonus dungeon, and I rather hope another Aeon makes its way into Persona 5

Jester/Hunger: I'll be frank, I never quite know how to take this one. The person who does it is an extremely well-known consumate liar, and I've never been sure how much of what he says to you is true, and how much is bogus. Nonetheless, assuming at least part of what he says is true...it certainly sheds light on him.

Other Miscellenious Things:

Spoiler

Show

The New Combo Attacks: Occasionally worthwhile to do the last damage to random battles, otherwise not that useful.

The Scooter Bits: Fun, but still kinda superfluous. Still, the ability to add other abilites to your teammates or bring back old ones is nice.

The Extra Abilites Gained for your Team from their Social Links: A-freaking-mazing. This MUST be in Persona 5. If not, I will be dissapointed.

New songs, new days, and new events: Still fun, as always.

Now...back to Persona 5 a moment. Right now, I have no data on it. However, I do have some hopes:

I hope they keep the psychological themes from 4, or at least something similar.

I hope they make different social links into teammates. I'm hoping for Tower or maybe Death.

I hope, if they do decide to bring back the Big Bad of Personas 1 and 2, as many assume from the events of P4:Arena, then I hope they do it believably.

...My apologies for the massive post. I declare this thread open!

EDIT: And to anyone who's wondering, the sub-title of this thread is from this.
