asdf;lkj I admit I was thinking more in terms of fansubs and fanscanlations (bad habits are hard to break), and the impression I've gotten from conversations about the two is that (depending on the manga-ka's style) scanlating is the harder of the two, since to do a good job of it, the cleaning process is extremely time consuming. Probably worse because the manga-ka for Persona is very fond of using gradients.

A full localisation would definitely cost more, but I get the impression that the anime would be able to appeal to people who haven't played P4, since the manga's storytelling is rather jumpy in terms of time, going off memory (though not nearly as much as P3's). Though I wonder how much of this is my impression of the P3 manga, since I read what had been scanlated first before I actually got the game, and my impression was a big ball of WHAT IS GOING ON.

I'LL. Probably end up watching the anime anyway, since I haven't heard much news on the manga and uhhh given the slow pace of the manga and the fact that the manga-ka was working on both P3 and P4 the last I heard, I don't think it'll be finished any time soon hah. And I do like me some P4 * A*

Pfffft that guy is everyone, man. everyone.

Ah yes, if we're talking fan versions scanlating would be harder. And yes, P4 manga is excruciatingly slow. So, we have established that they are milking it, but that we are also willing victims. :|

XD Yeah, he gets around! He's Cecil in Dissidia too. Heck, he's even the VA in the game I've been working on, which totally made my week when I got the audio delivery.

/s-sob.

He's also Minato/Pharos/Ryoji!

And wow. That must've been incredibly cool! I'd ask about the game, but I get the feeling you're under an NDA?

Whoa. Would not have picked that one. Incredibly diverse!

Haha, it was a bright spot, definitely, although I was apparently the only person in the whole team excited about it. Not so much under a full NDA any more, since the trailer's been out for a while. It's only a licensed game anyway - let's just say I now know how to say 'dance' and 'penguin' in six different languages. :|
