Megaten Haven 2.0 - Persona 4

I did like the noise of glass breaking though every time the persona was summoned. Honestly, I preferred when there was no "gimmick" and it was just an ability that some people had and others didn't.

Yeah, the suicide thing was, pardon my coarse language, retarded.
The idiot masses: "oooh, look how deep/symbolic/edgy it is!"
Me: "no actually it's just really stupid"
The idiot masses: "no really it is deeply symbolic because something about killing off the ego so the id can take over blah blah blah *continues to try and justify the stupidity*"
Me: "no sweetie, when you shoot yourself in the head, you tend to end up either brain-dead or dead period. There is no secondary personality showing up to take over."
The idiot masses: "no it is SYMBOLIC."
Me: "Symbolism and imagery are not the same thing"

That was nice, wasn't it? Back when everyone could go to the Velvet Room, everyone could swap Personas, and everyone could be controlled in combat.

I mean wouldn't it be faster to wear a "special device" and call forth your Personas anytime you want rather than to grab a fake gun, point to your head and pull the trigger every time? lol

If not, could someone translate it, even roughly? There also looks to be some "social link" /action/ in these pictures. Thanks for the update!

The first paragraph gives the overview of the Velvet Room (Personas are the power of the heart/used to fight shadows/over 180 in the game/etc).

It talks about fusing cards to create new Personas, and it says that in this game you'll be able to fuse more than 6 at a time, but...

First screen is Fusion, second is the Compendium.

The next box talks about Margaret. It says that Elizabeth was Igor's companion in P3, but now Margaret is his companion. It comments that they are dressed similarly, so maybe there's a connection. (Gee thanks for the help Famitsu!)

The options in the screenshot of Margaret are:
Margaret's Requests
Verify Community Achievements
Open Compendium
Register Persona? (I honestly don't know and I don't feel like looking it up)

She is asking for Ippon Datera with Sukukaja.

Fusion Forecast
Although you can visit the Velvet Room everyday (or I suppose nearly everyday as the storyline may prevent you from visiting it sometimes) and fuse Personas, P4 has a "Fusion Forecast" system where you can obtain "special effects" by fusing certain things on certain days.

Community
(It gives an overview of the Community/Social Link system, it works on the same principle as the P3 one)

You build Community Links by talking with people and interacting at school. Being a member of a Sports club will build your Strength Community. The boy speaking at the diner is Ichijo Kou (I think).

The girl at the bottom is named Ebihara Ai (I think) and she's the manager for the Sports Club(s). It wonders if she's a different Social Link than Strength.

Honestly, I was hoping they'd say something more insightful, but I guess that's asking for too much. Pointing out the obvious is cool too; haha, Elizabeth and Margaret look similar--no really?

I kind of like that addition to the fusion system. I mean, it will hopefully keep things a little fresh. I was disappointed that in Persona 3 there wasn't anything in fusion that corresponded to the lunar cycle/date (at least from what I could gather). I mean, that's pretty standard. It's good to see they are taking something old and giving it a new finish.

Persona 2EP had no moon phases, and i haven`t heard anyone complaining about it )))
