Oh, duh, that was cool too. Which reminds me! If anybody here has twitter and doesn't follow Lyn, you should consider doing so. She's posts some music every now and again, and some of it is really good.
Haha, I liked that post too
I think it comes down to execution tbh. I wasn't satisfied with the way my joke weaved into it

For Persona to be the GTA of rpgs everyone would have to hate the 4th installment after playing 5, right?

Persona 3 was the 4th installment.
Makes a lot more sense, considering how fun 4 is compared to FES.
Well damn.
I hated the 4th installment while I played the 4th installment.
P5 will be a good game at worst and GTA V is awful in nearly every respect. This is key info.

Maybe, but either way I think Ryuji's going to be our Trevor.
See, the problem is artificial strawberry is terrible.
Cherry are the best flavor of poptarts, with the frosting, at room temperature.

I agree. Both Cinnamon and Rise are the best. Perhaps this was #InHardinWeTrust's true purpose after all.
That's a typo right? Surely you meant to say GTAIV
which is still fun but is a literal slideshow on PS3
I've already made my mind up that Persona 5 will squash P3 and P4.

Eyyy Niko-san! It's me, your cousin Roman-kun! Let's go bowling!
No, I mean that Grand Theft Auto V, released in the summer of 2013, is an awful game.
I have returned! You guys probably hadn't realised that I'd gone, but basically I'd lost my GAF password and couldn't be bothered to find it.
I started drawing again. Drew the Phantom:
Also drew Max from Life is Strange:
I upgraded my computer, which has let me use bigger canvases, as well as refining my brush settings. Who needs SAI? Pfft.

Welcome back Dantis-kun. GTA IV is indeed awful.

I like your Phantom, Dantis, I like it. His right arm looks a little off, though?

Because the style changed drastically.
Radically is a strong word, they're definitely recognizable as Persona games.
But no SL's, worse gameplay & some other stuff that hasn't aged well might make it hard to go back for some. (P3 alone is hard for me to go back to after P4 Golden)
The two P2's are really good, I'd say try them if you don't mind PS1 JRPG's.
1 is just a bad game nowadays & I wouldn't recommend going back unless you find you like P2 & really want more Persona.
Just my opinions & all that jazz.

Is it safe to say that our policy with P1 now is "Youtube it" like The Answer?
Or am I jumping the gun?
Ooooh! Forgot about that...

It's because Katsura Hashino took over as director starting with Persona 3.
3/4 have a different vibe than the earlier games, but I can say that the Persona 2 games have a great story/cast that's worth putting up with the poorly-aged gameplay. I haven't played the original SMT: Persona though.
P2 has my favorite HS supporting cast (Lisa and Eikichi) who are genuinely great and show (Growth!) that they change over the course of events. Kind of like Junpei, but Junpei is the man anyway, top 10 Persona character, top 6 damage dealer, top 4, getting that LIFE.

I have to object to this, the soundtrack is the one thing about the original Persona that still holds up well. Yes it's completely out of line with the rest of the series, even Persona 2 doesn't sound similar to it, but I adore the dreamlike atmosphere it exudes, which can switch from ethereal (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GO8qjqoVWc) to nightmarish (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtG5SbzUeHk) without skipping a beat.
The remake's soundtrack isn't bad, but if there's anything that it can and should be criticised for it's the blatant music reuse going on because the remake soundtrack is noticeably smaller than the original one. This means that tracks like Kandori's theme are just completely gone and that's an absolute tragedy considering how important it is (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uM3GuSmlRyc)
Like, I adore the originals soundtrack to the point that I wish that this remained the main theme of the series despite how great the Velvet Room theme is:

tbh i didn't really like or hate any of those tracks you posted. Just kind of meh.

Different strokes, the P1P OST neutered a four disc OST and removed character themes completely, i.e. Ayase's theme.
There's still no OST quite like P1's, aside from Devil Summoner 1's, little surprise since the composer is sadly deceased.
P1PSP's gameplay and translation with P1's OST would be the perfect game.

Persona PSP has "School Days", therefore it is the superior OST.
The original PS1 soundtrack has higher highs and lower lows, where as the PSP soundtrack is more consistent in quality. I like both of them, to be honest.
Most of the character themes are pretty average tho. There's a few good ones like the previously linked Ayase and Maki's themes, but the rest are rather unremarkable.

I enjoy that song, but tracks of that quality are few and far between. The battle music makes me want to claw my ears off. The only new tracks I liked were School Days, the OP, the world map, Pandora, and the Snow Queen remixes(which are phenomenal).

These are very nice, congrats.
Welcome back Dantis! Great drawings as always.
But SAI is the best!! I actually tried drawing with Photoshop and 0/10 would not try again.

honestly, if i'm being honest, that song is not very good, imho. but neither is the p1p soundtrack, so it's par for the course.
