The story and characters are great. The rest is... antiquated. From the same era, the Devil Summoner games are far superior to Persona 1 and 2.
Maya and Tatsuya though. Best Persona protagonists.

The launch edition is available. If you want to pay less I guess you gotta wait until they're done selling the first press steelbooks and collector's editions.

Sounds like stock replacement date. Other places have the normal case on "backorder"

eh, didn't have a big problem with it, it's really slow yeah, but it's still good in the rpg departement!
that's too bad that the writter of persona 2 is gone! 3-4-5 are still pretty good story wise (didn't finish 5, 3 is reaaaally good, 4 is kinda meh, not bad but not great either), but i still prefere the writing of 2
and the fact that your team isn't composed only by teenagers

Junpei = Magician
Kanji = Emperor
Ryuji is the Chariot... get out of here with those comparisons.
Ryuji is the male version of Chie.

I know it's very different, yeah. I'm mainly interested in the story, so I might just blatantly cheat my way through the game(s).
If I get sick of it, I'll just move on to Persona 3.
No, not like this. That's not true. That's impossible
Oh no.... this explains so much.

It's not a baseless comparison; in many ways they do act similarly.
I never understand the obsession that so many people have with Chie, to be honest.
Hey, your teacher being an erotic maid that tries to scam you while you being hooked to it is pretty normal. Happens to every high schooler

I mean, Chie was always worst girl so Itd make sense Ryuji is worst dude
I joke, I jo-nope they're both lame.

Without spoiling, is Ryuji the best physical Attacker?
Laughing Banana

If you keep at it, it's quite touching actually, lol.
It helps that the max rank gives you one of the best perks in the game too.
Him and Yusuke seems pretty much on par, actually; surprisingly Yusuke also has high strength with plenty of physical skills in his Persona, and his weapons boasts high attack power too.

I said it in other thread I believe:
Both of them dye their hair, they share the same arcana, they say dumb shit and occasionally what they say is also true, they get heated while talking to the magician (Yosuke and Morgana); also their physical attacks are more powerful than their elemental ones. They share a lot of traits.

lmao it all makes sense now
How do you go from this amazing 3rd dungeon theme to the even more amazing 4th dungeon theme...to this annoying shit in 5th dungeon?
I'm guessing that is when they'll be transitioning from the Launch edition (Steelbook case) to the 'Standard' edition of the game.
Fox is better imo.
I love it and hate it lol. I really like the character, but everything that happens during the SLink events is just so outlandish. Romancing
your teacher
Can't wait to make the baddies of that story swallow shit when I get home lmao.
Wait until you hear the next one...

Which one of the two gets the skill that boosts the next Attack by 2.5 damage?
Even if not for romance...the rank 10 perk is bonkers so may as well...

Decided to keep playing in easy mode.
Since its my first Persona game and my first turnbased combat since ffvii (psx era) i find it to overwhelming and really bugged out for repeating chunks of the Castle since some dude one-shotted me a couple of time.
I think its best to finish this pt on easy and spend time in just figuring our this game. Next run on + will be for the serious stuff and more challenge.
I am scared that if i continue on normal i will quit halfway and this game is way to interesting for that.

It's quite funny if you think about it.
Here we have a guy that acts like that and pretty much everybody makes fun of him, and yet when we genderflip the character with the same personality... well, look at just how big of a fanbase Chie has.
It's baffling.

Got Charm and Proficiency maxed, Guts and Knowledge at four and Kindness at 3 nearing September. Also maxed two confidants with a few being close. Think my progress is good! Admittedly using a guide for confidant answers though lol

Yusuke?
Lol I have most at 2 mid july. You are doing great (and I suck). Too much mementos grind.

But Chie doesn't do certain things Ryuji does in terms of story plot. Ryuji does dumb shit more than once, like he doesn't learn. It's a bigger impact here.
I believe so. His persona is faster and has better attack skills like one that gets a boost after a baton touch and an aoe move that confuses enemies. He also doesn't have a shitty shotgun that misses all the time.
I liked Chie, she was honest with her feelings. I almost dated her but game kinda failed to make her cute from time to time. Or maybe it was her design the problem ? Dunno.

Ryuji does more physical dps than Yusuke at least in endgame he definitely is the best physical attacker behind the MC :-x

P3P, play with the girl character, her dialogue choices have way more personality put into them IMO!
And the FES part of p3 isn't that great so it's not a big deal to skip it

Toss up between FES and P3P. Both versions are great. P3P has a great female protagonist but FES is pretty much the original but better in every way.

Damn, can't stand the guy.
I gave them their best weapons available at the time and Yusuke handily outdamages him from my experience.

Weeping Pickle
Ryuji. He also has Matarukaja so I suppose in terms of raw attack power he eclipsed Yusuke.
Yusuke has Masakukaja and the best physical repel skills (up to 20%)
Both boasts Colossal-level Physical attacks, God's Hand vs. Brave Blade.

I'd go with Persona 3 FES. It's the complete package of the story. Play Portable later on if you ever feel the need to go back to that game with a twist.
