“One big change is you still have the option to set all your party members to AI, but you can also give them individual commands. If you didnâ€™t like the AI system you now have a choice.”

YES. This was actually one of the biggest things that kept me away from P3. It’s one thing if the battle system is real-time and things are happening so fast that you NEED AI control, like the Tales of series. But a turn-based battle system where you can only carry out the vaguest strategies is just pointless button-mashing and finger-crossing.

I’ll have to seriously consider this one.

Great…time to wait to read the upcoming coverage and 1up’s part of the interview.

One thing I did wonder (while listening to the panel recording. Thanks Siliconera!) was what is origin of the spells used in the SMT games. Was it just something made up by the develops at Atlus Japan.

If the localization is similiar to P3, I think there won’t be any problems with the characters talk. I like it how Nich started making the characters *too* American rural during the start of the localization.

Well, sucks for you HH, but Atlus told Destructoid that they’ll keep them. which rules for me.

I hope they dump the honorifics this time, Spencer-kun. I don’t think they were really added anything to P3, to be quite honest, senpai.

Fascinating read as always, but the slang question kind of worried me. But if it’s anything like P3, I’ve got nothing to complain about. I appreciate that they kept the honorifics and really brought the Japanese high school setting to life, despite being translated in English. Specifically, the “American” slang comment is what bothers me.
