[Forgive the potato-quality] Detective Prince Naoto Shirogane has a few interesting details about her if you haven’t already played some of the Persona games following 2008’s Shin Megami Tensei Persona 4. That game introduced Naoto and the rest of the Yasogami High group you can use in your party for Persona Q, the game we’ve been talking about all week. If you’re sick of the game, feel free to let it out. Persona has proven an exceedingly dense work of video gaming heavyweight P Studio, particularly as it has expanded outward following the success of Persona 3 and it’s various releases. I entered the franchise from Persona 3 Portable and followed through by playing Persona 4 Golden, each on my PlayStation Vita, before summarily following the series wherever it’s gone since. Nintendo 3DS owners have their first shot at a Persona game in Shadow of the Labyrinth or Persona Q, for short, though Shin Megami Tensei IV is also fantastic. Regardless, Naoto, pictured in this article speaking with the Persona 3 protagonist I’ve named after myself, is a fan favorite. You’ll find her playing spacing games with her pistol in Persona 4 Arena and its Ultimax sequel-of-sorts, and you’ll not forget her understated investigative style. She can be incredibly thorough and in fact irks superiors and older detectives at the police department such that she hides her sex at first. If you’re looking for a means by which Japanese role-playing games obtain characterization faster and more deeply than most Western role-playing games, look to Naoto. In fact, it was this factor that made me worry all of the characters from two previous games in the series would get lost in some kind of shuffle where you only really heard from your party. Forming a bond between the player and a fictional character is hard enough, but to do so with so many in a role-playing game inevitably proves impossible even after it becomes the very basis for game structure as is the case in Persona. Thankfully, Atlus and the P Studio developers behind Persona Q ensured plenty of people could get to know Koromaru too. In one request, Chie Satonaka has misplaced a snack. While you’re exploring the Labyrinth, you may occasionally run into instances of side quests presented as narrative interruptions and this one turns into a case for yourself and Naoto Shirogane. In order to find the stolen snack, Naoto leads the player from location to location in the overworld, checking the shop, nurse’s office, and velvet room. For the most part, everyone denies having taken the item and I love hearing Naoto walk the player through the case, doing it a second time should you misread or forget things. To many players, this instance of inherently silly expository dialog would leave room for a disconnection that actually removes you from the kind of gameplay loops that have to be engaging, at least in JRPGs. Exploring the dungeon has to be really entertaining and for an hour or more at a time, otherwise a 70+ hour experience will go unfinished or worse, abandoned. For a niche publisher like Atlus, a used copy sitting on a GameStop shelf could spell death for any future Persona games on Nintendo 3DS and in that way, this scene featuring Naoto Shirogane, Chie Satonaka, the Protagonist, Velvet Room-attendee Theo (replete in a pink apron), and meat-themed desserts proves essential. I love the humor and the subject matter. More importantly, I love getting taken away from the combat and dedicated map-drawing because those elements can prove too timid or frustrating. I’ve lowered the difficulty on Persona Q once, helping shadow-battling greatly, but long time fans will miss the social links. Outside of the Labyrinth, you can go on walks and excursions with others either together or in groups but they often present some gameplay too. Anyone brand new to the franchise will likely end up ignoring these as the dialog remains largely character dependent. Junpei acts and behaves as he does, so don’t worry if you end up ignoring him naturally. While Persona’s strength seems focused in the combat and overall style, this moment goes a long way in ensuring it keeps the already active and vocal fan base entertained, catered to, and more importantly telling friends to pick up and play this game.
