Pretty much. It'll be interesting to see how perception changes when there are no dividing lines on the new consoles.

So I just beat Persona 4 Golden, yay! Game was great and so were the characters. One thing I felt that Persona 3 beat it in though, especially
I'd play persona 1 now but I don't think I have the stomach for another RPG
The final boss. Death was a much better and more interesting final boss than Izanami

Yeah, I just treat the ones from shuffle as fodder. Really only there to make new ones that have handpicked skills for later personas.
I liked the experience of the final boss in 4 I guess, but 3 was better, but it had to have been all things considered.

Got the impression that whoever behind the scenes of all of this had the long term plan of 3, then when that failed tried almost a Blitz with an end of the world scenario disguised as a murder mystery. That's my take on it anyway, especially with Igor being involved.
SMT heroes!
Sadly, I can only recognize 75% of the characters. One day I will know each of them by name...
playin p3p for the first time
couple things:
- y'know i don't mind the lack of cutscenes (a lot of them kinda sucked anyhow). the dialogue additions are kinda neat, however...
- the awakening scene was totally cooler in vanilla/FES
- the top down view is okay i guess. kinda miss running around with my hands in my pockets.
- whoa i can save at my desk
- being able to control junpei and yukari feels so weird. all this newfound responsibility!
- i can work at the cafe now whaaaaaaaaaaaa
- oh they adopted the social link rank up thingy from P4. neat
- ah so i gotta pay to heal my party whenever i go back to the lobby. interesting. this save point is a lot less stingy than mr. fox
- okay either i mistakenly hit "hard" instead of "normal" when starting up my game but this is feeling a bit more challenging than FES. not getting as much EXP as I remember and now i'm actually utilizing the Split Up option. not a bad thing, just an interesting note.
pretty fun so far. it's usually tough for me to replay games but with enough new mechanics, it manages to remain relatively fresh.

Check your settings. P3P is way easier than FES.

Is that considered a bad thing? I found P3P really challenging.
No, but if you're going from FES to P3P it IS much easier, since you already know what to do.
If you go into P3P blind, it wouldn't be as easy.
What is this? I played a bit of fes and don't notice any difference in the social links.
Apparently I'm Normal mode. However, i'm still in the beginning parts of Tartarus so I'm sure it'll get easier once I get more Personas.
Just this thing except a little different for p3p. It's kind of a minor thing but I thought it was interesting.
That is awesome. I think I recognize everyone. Can't name them(the ones that have names anyways), but I think I can pin them to their game.

It's incredibly thorough. I'm not even sure of them all, but Kei from Maken X is on the left, and that's the original protagonists from MT1 embracing one another in the center.
I recognized those two right away (kinda obvious being in the centre and all). I have the translated book to read on my kindle eventually.

I get the impression no one likes Vincent.
I thought the rank up sequence in the original was obtrusive, so P3P going the P4 route in that regard was a welcome change.
I miss the "I am Thou" all the time tho.
Vincent is not MegaTen!
That or that image was done too late to include Catherine.

It has the DeSu2 Protag in it, that came out after Catherine.
Yeah I realized that after I typed it. Oh well. Image is perfect as it is.

That's a pretty sweet pic, even if I can only recognize the protags from Persona, SMT1&3, DS and DDS.
On an entirely unrelated note:
Guys, I really want to see Pacific Rim.
Like, yesterday.

not in the glorious nippon version hes not!

It's more meaningful when it happens at the end, anyway. I like being bestowed the ability to create an uber persona.

It will rise, stronger than before.
Yup, it looks like the two below the MT1 protagonist (and I think the other one is Yumiko) are from SMT NINE, and the guy besides them to the right is the MT 2 protagonist, as seen here
The only one I have absolutely no idea who the hell she is is the one that's to the right of Raidou. I'm stumped here :lol

Just dropping by to say:
P2: IS intro is niiice, especially the ending.
That is all, and why don't we share our favorite Intros?

Intro thread? Intro thread.
My favorites. :3
Persona 2: Eternal Punishment PS1
Persona 2: Eternal Punishment PSP
The PSP one wins out slightly, as I feel it represents what is great about both modern and classic Persona games.

I do like this intro, and I love the music. The only thing I find jarring is their movements during the dancing.

I prefer Levito's version.
P4 easily has the best title screen, though.
