THEN WHY REGION LOCK IT YOU FUCKS

Seriously this, and they better damn well release a freaking apology letter/explain what the hell happened to the European/Australian fans.

 

[slightconfuse]

Jack Frost , HO!

 

[Sophia]

Since Sophia is gushing over Yomotsu Shikone, what are you guys' favorite early game Persona?

Only gushing because it's a quad elemental Persona with no weaknesses. It and Lilim are the best early game Personae in P3 <3

Aigis is the best.

Yes, she is.

[Jintor]

i wonder if there will be a way to tell what personas will be useful in the future from in-game instead of having to consult faqs all the time or just levelling every damn persona forever

Plus Yukari and Shinjiro as free characters. They promised something to make up for it and they better deliver something decent beyond sticking a PAL logo on the box and inflating the price.

This is where general SMT knowledge comes in handy. Experience with P3/P4/Devil Summoner let me distinguishing which demons in Nocturne and Strange Journey were more useful than others.

Since Sophia is gushing over Yomotsu Shikone, what are you guys' favorite early game Persona?

Gozu Tennoh.

e: You can generally assume that Titania, Black Frost and, for some reason, Guedhe will be stronger than most. I mean I guess Guedhe isn't in Persona yet, but.

Inugami, Jack Frost, Sarasvati

Honestly that's half the fun.

You need an FAQ for that? ;

With a couple exceptions (mostly in P4) I didn't need a guide at all to discover what was awesome.

Jintor plays Persona for the Social Links.

 

[Jintor]

What's this persona holding? I don't know why don't you spend 12 floors leveling it up because it needs 40k xp per level. Oh it's a thing you don't need GREAT JOB

Rise's headphones thing in P4A was awesome and I wish she had them full-time

I just winged it.

winging it works

This thread reminds me I need to grind for Nyx in Persona 3 Portable >.>

Guess it's now or never.

I honestly never cared about those. You can beat Persona 3 without ever seeing a single one, and it seems the development team realized how stupid they were too given they removed em from Persona 4.

yeah i feel kinda bad complaining about design decisions in a game from a couple of years ago

but WHATEVER I'mma still complain

I'm not the only one who keeps the Quiz Answers loaded in the Vita's web browser while playing am I? >_>;

Yeah, they can't tell you everything.

Nope.

Spoiler

I use my phone though. :X

 

[Squire]

Jintor plays Persona for the Social Links.

So do I, in all honestly.

 

[Dantis]

I just winged it.

High five!

This is what men do.

So do I, in all honestly.

I play it for everything.

 

[Jintor]

Man, P3 gets really depressing in January

 

[Sophia]

I play it for everything.

Ditto.

Also, Persona 4's SP system in Persona 3 breaks the game so hard. You mean I can finish all of Tartarus in one night and still have money to spare!? >_>;

 

[buddha0991]

You made me sad

Dantis and Sophia made me happy

 

[slightconfuse]

Fixed. so much shit happens to the characters from the begining.

Dat music.

I had ~4M yen when I finished P3P, probably more.

 

[Trigger]

Fixed. so much shit happens to the SEES from the begining

Quoted for truth. P3 overall has a more sinister atmosphere.

 

[Squire]

Dantis and Sophia made me happy

Hey, I think it's a fantastic game on the whole! The design is brilliant and incredibly cohesive, but I won't pretend I didn't have a motive for playing through P4G on Very Easy.

I enjoy the combat and everything, but yeah if it was just that, I'd be out.

 

[Sophia]

I'm almost to Fuuka seven hours in with a party that can only be described as overpowered and I'm playing slowly.

 

[slightconfuse]

I maxed out the wallet several times in P3P. made the game super easy

 

[buddha0991]

For some reason on my pc GAF breaks like every 20 minutes and keeps loading and refreshing in a loop now

Grinding is the worst

 

[Sophia]

Unless you play on Maniac/Very Hard, there's little grinding.

 

[slightconfuse]

for real i dont think i grinded at all playig p3/p4 on normal.

though at least P4 inceitves grinnding with the extra weapons

 

[Jintor]

at least half of it is self-inflicted... i don't have to do these paradigm doors but i really want to :/

 

[buddha0991]

If you have to grind much on normal on any Persona, I think you are doing it wrong

 

[Squire]

Grinding is the worst

Absolutely. Which I why I love that they went to the effort to implement all the difficulties. You can have as much or as little as you want.

 

[Sophia]

If you have to grind much on normal on any Persona, I think you are doing it wrong

If you're playing Persona 3 Portable or Persona 4 Golden, you don't even really need to grind on hard.

 

[idlethreats]

Great OP, Dantis! Really makes me want to go play some Persona right now.

Last year marked my introduction to the series (and SMT in generally, really), so I've got a lot of catch up to do here. Picked up P3P to have something meaty to play on my Vita last spring while I waited for Gravity Rush to come out, and fell in love right away. Am currently about 1/3-1/2 through P4G, but have been taking a bit of a break over the past month to avoid Persona fatigue. Also slowly chipping away at FES - The Journey first, so I can experience the male MC's storyline, and then I'll play The Answer next, even though everyone says it's awful. I don't want to be spoiled on it when I play P4 Arena at any rate. At some point I'll go back and play the PSP remakes and/or track down a PS1 copy of EP, but that won't happen for a while yet.

Anyway, I'm drawing my line in the sand and making my final stand here: Mitsuru > all other Persona girls.

 

[Ketch]

Is persona considered the same series as shin migami tensei? They just dropped SMT from all the titles right?

 

[Sophia]

Both Persona and Shin Megami Tensei are spinoffs of the bigger Megami Tensei franchise.

 

[The Mana Legend]

I am playing through this entire series once I finish the Ninja Gaiden series.

I have played and beaten and loved Persona 1 and Eternal Punishment. I will play Persona 1 Portable for the first time and Innocent Sin for the first time.

I have played Persona 3 and 4 and absolutely hated them. Maybe P3P and P4G will change my mind, no idea. We'll see.

Can't wait to find out!
