Monokuma Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Thought I should make this thread in advance in anticipation for Monday. I for one am somewhat excited for this playthrough since it is the first time Phil has ever played a Persona game and I'd like to see his reactions to all the crazy things that happen in the game.So what are your guys thoughts on this?

Howgoesit Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 I'm both excited for this playthrough but also a bit weary of it. I'm weary of it because of the stream chat and my hope is that stream chat doesn't handhold him to much during this playthrough. I think the best reactions of his will be to shadow kanji and shadow rise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindy Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Wish he did Nocturne because I know those dungeons(Esp if he goes for True Demon Ending, the labyrinth spares nothing) will frustrate him and getting 1 shotted by mudo/hama would be amazing. The Matador fight would be worth the price of admission alone. I know the twitterverse will tell him on how to exploit this game though, there's one demon that can learn the most broken move in franchise history. His reaction to one of Capcom's beloved mascots guest starring would have been cool too. Then again Phil can grind his way through that game if he wanted to. That's my fear with this P4.....you can exploit this game if you do something correctly. I never played it that way and I got a damn good experience out of it but I worry the twitterverse/stream chat will be giving him advice that will ruin the playthrough. Just gotta hope DSP does not read up on that stuff and treats this as a BLIND playthrough. This playthrough will go as far as people will want it to or if Phil reads up on it or not.I'm both excited for this playthrough but also a bit weary of it.

Also if he gets all of the questions and exams right on his first try you know that the chat is helping him. Not saying Phil is dumb but some of the questions are pretty hard. I'm praying to mind control Jesus that stream chat doesn't ruin this playthrough and I hope they let him figure stuff out. But I can bet anything that they will tell him how to beat a boss and give him all the answers to the questions and so forth. There's a high chance that he won't even finish the game which sucks.

You think he might consider playing it offline like he used to back in the day, and then upload the videos? Or possibly streaming without the stream chat? There's definitely a lot of cool stuff to discover and do in the game and it only takes one or two spoilers to ruin the whole thing. If there was ever a game where it'd be fun to see Phil go into completely blind, no tips, no "people in the stream chat told me-" moments, this'd be the one.As far as him sticking with the game 'till the end, I have a good feeling it'll draw in enough viewers to urge him to keep playing. Persona's a pretty big deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Persona's a pretty big deal.I really would love if Phil goes in completely blind, part of the fun of it is seeing his geniune reactions to the game and stream chat would only ruin that. I also hope he doesn't overlevel like he does in a lot of RPG playthroughs since Persona 4 isn't really a hard game if you have the right persona, the most I can accept is that he looks up a fusion guide.

Blindy Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Hopefully he goes for the hidden path at the end. I really hope he doesn't go and exploit something or else we will go back to the Bloodborne discussion all over again. I mean other users have done this but it takes away so much from the battles.

Well it is a pretty long game and seeing as how he tends to rush through games to get to the next means that there is a chance he won't finish it. If the views are good though and he likes it and the fans like it then he may finish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is this or FF Type 0 and I think more of his fans(He has a lot of younger fans, just an observation) who will favor Persona 4 hands down so it is good for his business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he did say it was going to possibly a weekly thing like Minecraft so maybe theres the chance he could take his time with it, but what worries me is that eventually his patrons might get bored and he'll be forced to drop it.

EndOfTheZoners Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Persona 4 isn't really a hard game if you have the right persona, the most I can accept is that he looks up a fusion guide.I rarely ever did any fusions 'cause I'm lazy and didn't know any better, but I got by pretty well with the personas I had.My first playthrough clocked in around 94 hours, with some grinding and Social Link stuff on the side. I bet Phil could get it done in way less time--he's surprisingly efficient when he needs to be.Well it is a pretty long game and seeing as how he tends to rush through games to get to the next means that there is a chance he won't finish it. If the views are good though and he likes it and the fans like it then he may finish it. It's a long game, but I really think he'll get immersed in it, especially for the story.

Blindy Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Persona 4 is a bigger deal than the Tales games, he got through FFX(Albeit he grinded off camera which destroyed the playthrough) and I expect a lot of Japanese bashing in this playthrough but I know what to expect from DSP lol. Nanako:Every-Day's Great At Your Ju-Nes!~"Look at this huahuahuah! *off key singing mocking Japanese culture*"God what is this garbage music? What is this crap? E-RECTION! E-RECTION, MY DICK IS SO HARD! Huahuahauh."I still look forward to this, really hoping for the best but I also know this could go downhill lol. The first few hours are slow so hopefully Phil doesn't get on the offensive with the bashing. It's KHII esque with how slow it is in the beginning, he handled that kinda well(Minigames aside) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope he doesn't go overboard with the racist jokes lol. Hope this playthrough doesn't get ruined and ends up being really good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aceman Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Actually a lot of people have suggested Phil play on easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndOfTheZoners Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Actually a lot of people have suggested Phil play on easy. The game's not too tough on the normal difficulty. There's definitely some bosses down the road that'll give him some serious trouble if he's not prepared, but other than that, I'd say it offers just the right amount of challenge.

Howgoesit Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Actually a lot of people have suggested Phil play on easy. Really? That game isn't that hard so I have no clue why people would tell him to play it on easy. He should play it on normal and not easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monokuma Posted April 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Actually a lot of people have suggested Phil play on easy. The game isn't really that hard, I only had trouble with maybe 1 or 2 bosses and the most I ever needed to do was just fuse a couple persona. Phil will be fine on normal if he keeps fusing some powerful persona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil will be fine on normal if he keeps fusing some powerful persona.Playing on easy will lessen the grinding. Not to mention this is his first SMT game. Its better for Phil to enjoy the story of the game than struggle with the bosses. Not to mention he most likely won't even know that you can re roll while fusing personas or other small things. Not to mention the social links where you wouldn't even know where to find them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the social links where you wouldn't even know where to find them. My first persona game was persona 4 and I played it on normal and I did just fine. If he did play it on easy I think people would get upset at him and then a huge shitstorm would erupt. Also he would still be able to enjoy the story even if he was having a hard time with the bosses. Honestly the only bosses that will give him a hard time are the ones that show up later in the game. He should do fine against the first few bosses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game makes you go back a WEEK. What if he played hours and this happens? Do you think he would want to do that all over again? Not to mention the Persona 4 PSN version has MAJOR save data issues. Save files get corrupt all the time hell the very first save file doesn't even work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never had any problems with saving the people and I think Phil will do okay with that. Like I said before people will give him hell if he plays it on easy.

Blindy Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Phil has always played normal difficulty, don't see why he would not do the same here. And howgoesit, He made fun of KHII's Sanctuary and somewhat Simple and Clean, the JPOP will have no mercy from Philip Burnell lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only people will be pissed are same people commenting on Bloodborne playthrough about how he sucks and cant even kill bosses at lvl 100 they already hate the guy and they rather see him fight boss at normal levels.
