Persona Fantasy Vol. 0 - Just The Beginning Mac OS

I have 320Gigs of disk with single container disk 1 with 5 volumes. Lets say I want to add a volume for storing all my games. I am going to allocate 60 Gigs to Catalina (containing Mac OS + Mac OS Data)(does that 60 Gig include the 3.22 GB VM?), therefore I would be left with the remaining volumes to store and play my epic games. 'They just don't seem like the type to be wardens, since they look rather adorable.' Ren admitted and shrugged Both Caroline and Justine blushed at Ren's admission, covering their cheeks out of embarrassment 'Th-that's where you're wrong!

Two issues back we had a preview version of Persona and was able to give readers some info even though the version featured was entirely in Japanese. As talented as we can be. we weren't able to get a full translation before press time. We recently received new version of the game and are happy to announce that it's just about done and better yet, it's in English.

The main thing that's different about the recent version Atlus sent to us is the language used in the game. No graphic elements have been changed from last month, but now we'll be able to get further into the game with shots that really show what the game is about.

Orchestrated music has been added along with some realistic sound effects that create a great atmosphere. When gamers walk through the school, they hear fellow students in the background and the sound of their feet clicking on the tile floor.

The music inside the school is bouncy and happy, while the music in a dungeon is more dramatic.

In case readers didn't catch the early Next Wave on Persona in issue #88, here's a quick overview of the story line: An evil corporation that has recently moved into town is working on a dimensional portal that'll allow people to travel to and from other dimensions.

Unfortunately the corporation's motives are evil, and the VP of the corporation, Guido, doesn't want anyone to interfere. A group of teens (the main characters of the game) from the town eventually find out that their young friend Mary is in trouble. It's their job to save her and the town-maybe even the world-since demons have made their way through the portal.

Gamers have had the opportunity of playing many different RPGs in their video game lives. Some come along that have something special (games like Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger and Lunar to name a few). Persona is something that we don't see all that often. Gamers who are familiar with Earthbound on the Super NES know about RPGs that take place in the present. Persona is similar in this aspect.

The characters of the game walk around in an average, everyday city doing average, everyday things-that is, until the clemons came along and learned about their special magic abilities.

There is a large amount of characters to meet in the game. Some are members of the party while others are townspeople. Of course, players will meet enemies throughout the adventure. Guido, the aforementioned leader of the dimensional chaos, knows what he is doing is evil, but he doesn't really care-after all, he is evil.

As mentioned in the Persona Next Wave a couple of months ago, the game is part of the Megami Tensai series, a popular RPG series in Japan. This will be the first time any game from that series has come to U.S. shores. The main reason for this, according to Atlus software, are the demonic/satanic overtones.

Gamers who want something different in an RPG should check out Persona when it hits store shelves. It has an incredible amount of options and a story line that makes you want to keep playing from beginning to end.

Gamer's EDGE

Persona features the magic power known as Persona (hence the name). These Persona are versions of the character that are hidden inside of them. They can be released and used to heal the party or destroy the enemy. Each character has his or her own special Persona. As levels are gained, new Personas become available. Gamers can find the Velvet Room which is used to combine two Personas to make a new one. This way. the types of Persona that a player can have are large.

'It's strange, for a game called 'House of the Dead', you'd assume it would be set in a house full of dead people... Truthfully, they should have called this game 'Road Trip of the Dead'...'
The Wii Viewer (on The House of the Dead: OVERKILL)

A series title that made perfect sense when it began, but after a number of changes to the premise, no longer makes sense to people who don't go back to the beginning. Sometimes a new element is put in to justify the title.

This usually happens when a movie named after a specific MacGuffin suddenly gets a sequel and changing the title to something else might throw people off that this is a sequel. One of the ways to avert this is through a Franchise-Driven Retitling, downgrading the original to a subtitle with the main title being something more consistent. They couldn't very well have called the Indiana Jones sequel Raiders of the Lost Ark 2, could they?

See also The Artifact. Artifact Name is this, but for names of not-works. Often a direct result of Nothing Is the Same Anymore and Early Installment Weirdness. Sometimes results in New Season, New Name. Happens often in poorly devised Alternate UniverseFan Fiction. Eventually this could turn a title into a Non-Indicative Name. This can also happen on a larger scale with Network Decay. Compare Trivial Title.

  • Modernism isn't very modern anymore. Postmodernism is also pretty old. The 'Modern Breakthrough' is even older.
  • Also Art Nouveau, which hasn't been new since the 1890s.
  • The characters of Le Donjon de Naheulbeuk leave the eponymous dungeon after the first season and never return to it ever again (though we still see a bit of it after that when the story focuses on Zangdar and Reivax, but they also leave it during season 2). Some of the characters ever lampshade the fact that they did not even visit a single dungeon during some seasons.

Comedy
  • Daniel Whitney created the Larry the Cable Guy persona for a radio show. Early on, he actually was pretending to be a cable guy, but that part of the character was phased out in favor of the Southern-flavored comedic character he is now. This was made plain when Whitney and his character starred in the movie Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector.
  • 'Alternative comedy' was a phrase coined in the '80s to describe the acts at London's Comedy Store. What people actually meant by it varied from 'avant garde; thinks actual punchlines are trad' to 'probably swears a lot' to 'not a racist/sexist '70s club comic' (or any combination of the above). These days, most 'mainstream' UK comedy is descended directly from the 'alternative' scene (and the surviving racist/sexist club comics swear much more than them).
  • Hannah Gadsby's standup comedy act 'Nanette': She initially intended to get an hour's worth of material from her brief encounter with a woman who was named Nanette, but found it couldn't be done, and the final product never mentioned Nanette at all. She first performed it for an event where your act had to have a title, and she'd already put 'Nanette' on the form, so it had to stay.
  • Conversational Troping in the 2013 Edinburgh Festival Fringe show Mitch Benn is the 37th Beatle: Mitch says the above situation happens a lot at the Fringe, which is why he always tries to come up with a theme for his show before he has to fill in the form, about six months in advance. Which, in this case, was around the same time Tony Sheridan died, inspiring Mitch to wonder how so many people could all be the 'fifth Beatle'.
  • The Disney Princess franchise is called that despite the fact that only half of the characters featured in that Franchise actually qualify as princesses. Brand new cast members at the Disney Parks are actually taught which ones are and which ones aren't princesses, as it's a popular piece of Disney trivia they get asked by guests often. For the record, only Snow White, Aurora, Ariel, Jasmine, Tiana, Rapunzel and Anna are princesses. The rest of them don't qualify because the culture they come from doesn't have 'princesses' (Pocahontas, Moana, and Merida), come from cultures in which commoners marrying royals do not get promoted to royalty themselves (Cinderella and Belle), is actually a queen (Elsa), or never marry a prince in the first place (Mulan).
  • In the How to Train Your Dragon book series, capturing and training dragons is a rite of passage for the viking tribe to which protagonist Hiccup belongs, and How to Train Your Dragon is the name of an unhelpful Fictional Document written for this purpose (consisting solely of the words 'Yell at it!'), which Hiccup then defies by using his own methods. In the film How to Train Your Dragon, vikings consider dragons their enemies until Hiccup secretly befriends, and trains, the dragon Toothless; there's no system in place until he founds it, and no book appears.
  • The Jungle Book, after being adapted into a film; the book in The Jungle Book became unnecessary although it still has a Storybook Opening.
  • In the Madagascar trilogy only in the first movie do the protagonists are in the titular island. The sequel goes the subtitle route by adding Escape 2 Africa. The third film has them going to Europe.
  • Rio 2, unlike the first film, takes place in the Amazon.
  • For My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Legend of Everfree (the fourth main installment of the My Little Pony: Friendship Is MagicSpin-Off franchise My Little Pony: Equestria Girls), the 'My Little Pony' part of the title no longer has any justification. While the previous films (Equesttria Girls, Rainbow Rocks and Friendship Games) did feature Equestrian characters traveling to this world, as well as some glimpses of Equestria, this film has neither. The magic coming from Equestria still influences the plot, and of course Sunset Shimmer is Equestrian-born, but that's it.

  • Bally's Wizard!! was originally intended to be centered around a white-bearded medieval wizard who used magic. The game ended up being a tie-in to The Who's rock opera, with 'Wizard' referring to the phrase 'Pinball Wizard'.
  • The very word 'pinball' is an example. The 'pin' in the word refers to a feature in the old 'bagatelle' machines, which are the predecessors to the modern-day 'pinball' machines.
  • The word 'Podcast' in itself. Prior to the ubiquity of smartphones and widespread wifi on public transport, podcasts were designed as offline radio shows you could save to your mp3 Player, of which the Apple iPod was the most popular (hence the name). Nowadays, they're far more likely to be streamed on peoples' phones or laptops.
  • Used in-universe by LoadingReadyRun's Qwerpline: one of the town slogans (which change every episode) is 'Nsburg: Home of The Tigers.' 'Tigers' doesn't refer to the local high school sports teams (Which are the 'Literal Tigers'), but to the tigers at the Nsburg Zoo. Which they had in the 1960s.
  • 372 Pages We'll Never Get Back was named after the number of pages in the hosts' copy of Ready Player One, the first book they covered on the podcast. They've since gone on to cover other books that had more or fewer pages.
  • In The Muppet Show, there's a character in the orchestra called Trumpet Girl because, logically enough, she plays the trumpet. Except that once Lips was introduced in the final season as the main trumpet player, she moved to the trombone, and in The Muppets, she plays the clarinet. Rashida Jones, who puppeteered her in the movie, named her Dolores, but officially, she's still Trumpet Girl.

  • The BBC Radio 4 Extra sci-fi slot is called The Seventh Dimension, which was originally a play on the channel being BBC 7. The name of the channel was changed in 2011, but the name of the slot remains.
  • The Ricky Gervais Show: Ricky himself admits that the show evolved into 'Karl says something MENTAL'.
  • When KROQ dropped the idea of its yearly holiday music festivals being acoustic concerts, it changed the name from KROQ Acoustic Christmas to KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas. The shows are now no more acoustic than any other concert.
  • Dallas-area DJ Kidd Kraddick died in July 2013, but the supporting cast of Kidd Kraddick in the Morning continue to bear the title without the original star of the show.
  • The British radio station Hallam FM, which has expanded beyond the village of Hallam of Sheffield.
  • BBC Radio 4's Friday Night Comedy hour had a series in the run-up prior to the UK's 2010 General Election. The shows, presented on Mondays through Wednesdays, were still considered a part of the Friday Night Comedy hour. Lampshaded by the announcer saying that they were, confusingly, broadcast on Monday (or Tuesday or Wednesday) night.
  • Radio stations often change their call letters upon changing format and/or branding. Some radio stations have retained the call letters of a previous format, or in some cases owner. For example, WABC used to be owned by ABC but is currently owned by Citadel Broadcasting, and its Chicago sister WLS was founded by Sears, the World's Largest Store. But WGNA in Albany NY has them beat, as its call letters stand for a branding and format that has never been used on the station: Its original owner intended for it to be an FM sister to his religious station, with the call letters standing for Good News Albany. But it's been on air since day one as a country station, as the owner died and his family overturned his plans.
  • Online radios sometimes have FM or some frequency-like number (i.e. 106) appended to their names, even if they never had a non-online version. For that matter, the 'radio' moniker itself, since they aren't directly broadcast via radio waves.
Beginning
  • Back And Behind The Woods; The title was an in-joke on the part of the DM, being a more extreme form of the phrase 'back woods'. In context, it referred to the Hillbilly Horrorogres the party fought at the start of the RP. Eventually, the party is sent to a major cosmopolitan city, and their quest promises to lead them to another, even more densely crowded city, with no signs of there being any forests at all in between.
  • Despite rarely popping up every now and then, most of the plot in Campus Life takes place in space now.
  • Pokémon: Rise of the Rockets is named for the initial starting point of the story's main conflict—namely, Team Rocket's rise to power within the Kanto regions—but as the story continues to grow and the war with Team Rocket becomes less of a focus, the title grows further and further from relevance.
  • Airlocked stops executing culprits via airlock after round one. Round four brings the airlock back, but that's because it's a prequel.
  • Winamp. Despite its name, it's no longer a Windows-exclusive media player as versions of the software have been released for Linux, Mac OS, and Android.
    • An inverted situation happened in the DAW software LMMS, whose title originally stands for Linux Multimedia Studio. Then later versions adapted the software to Windows and MacOS.
  • While MikuMikuDance was originally made with Vocaloid music videos of Hatsune Miku in mind, it has since been utilised for non-musical CGI productions which have little or even nothing to do with Hatsune Miku at all.
  • The DirectX Application Programming Interface was named because its components all had a 'Direct' prefix, like DirectPlay, DirectDraw, and Direct3D. Many of these old components have been retired in favor of newer standards that don't use the prefix, or opt to use an 'X' prefix instead like Xinput or XACT. The 'Direct' prefix still occasionally gets used, but it no longer follows the nomenclature that strictly and as such the name DirectX isn't as meaningful as it once was.
  • OpenIV, a tool for modding Grand Theft Auto IV, has since expanded to support other Rockstar games that use the same engine and are on PC.
  • Twelfth Night: This Shakespearean play has no real title, its title comes from the fact that it was commissioned to be performed for Twelfth Night Celebration (the night before January 6th). The full title is Twelfth Night, or What You Will
  • Barney Bunch was originally made when Barney hate was still at large, but soon coming to an end. Today, most Barney Bunch videos feature Drew Pickles as the main character instead.
  • Master Chief Sucks at Ordering stops being about Master Chief sucking at ordering things after the third episode. However, the series (and its episode titles) continue to reference the fact that Master Chief sucks at doing things. The reason the show wasn't simply called 'Master Chief Sucks' to avoid this problem was presumably because another series already used that name; said series would then be permanently renamed to Arby 'n' the Chief.
  • Red vs. Blue:
    • It started off the first 5 seasons as a comedy with the two title teams fighting over a boxed canyon in the middle of nowhere, while still visiting various places now and then. Starting with the 6th season, while the show is still for all purposes a comedy, it begins incorporating more action scenes and the two teams are now working together on an almost permanent basis. The only times the Reds and Blues are actually really fighting each other from season 6 onwards is in season 9 (which took place in the Epsilon Memory Unit) and season 11 (which took place after both teams survived a crash-landing at Crash Site Bravo).
    • The original subtitle for Seasons 1-5, Blood Gulch Chronicles, was inappropriate for Season 4 due to the large amount of time the show took place outside of Blood Gulch canyon. Averted from Season 6 onward, which use different subtitles that fit the story.
  • Strong Bad Email now has Strong Bad answering tweets instead of emails.
  • Fallout Lore: The Storyteller was originally just a documentary series about events in the Fallout franchise backstory. Now it's about the guy who's telling the stories almost, if not more so, than the stories themselves.
  • How It Should Have Ended started off showing parody alternate endings of movies. The focus has since expanded to more general movie parodies, featuring scenes from much earlier in the movie and sometimes not even touching the ending at all. Although, a lot of the scenes the change from earlier in the movie would resolve the plot right there.
  • hololive GAMERS was intended to be a subgroup of Gamer Chicks within a group of otherwise 'idol girls', with only Fubuki considered as both an idol and a gamer. As time went on, the line between a gamer and idol vanished as all of them streamed both activities and many members revealed themselves to be gamers of one stripe or another. As well, though it's mainly Sora, Suisei and AZKi who put the heaviest focus into being idol singers, the rest of the girls show themselves to be formidable on the singing stage. GAMERS now simply stands for an unnumbered generation that came between second and third generations.
