God damn it, I was hoping you were the only other Ramlethal.
You know that there's a PS3 version, right?

Yes, because Lab Zero loves their fans, where as ArkSys doesn't know what a Europe is.
What? Seriously? Okay then, nobody is allowed to play this mission! I forbid it!
Its fiiiiiine
Do you play ramlethal?

I started doing those, they're super useful as a basic primer.
Keep those bootleg Personas outta here.

Honestly the battle system looks amazing from what I've seen, and the dungoen crawling doesn't look bad(other then maybe the amount of random battles, if thats a thing that bothers you), at least way better the P3/4's dungoen at least(which are just window dressing for you while you trying to get back attacks on shadows) since they actually have puzzles and traps(admittedly, this stuff isn't for everyone).
But...it's an RPG. It strips a lot of extra stuff off and focus on the core mechanics. I don't see too much wrong with that, considering a lot of people (I don't mind them) dislike Social Links

The core mechanics in Persona are busted and need some help.

I'm playing more ss2 now amd I think I have a better understanding of the game now.
I'm dumb but is that yoko?
I might be play I-No or Chipp because there the closest archetype of a charcter I'm looking for.

You think it's easy for niche japanese developers to have their own foreign branches? From Software doesn't even have a North American branch for god sake, never mind Europe.

I already don't like the character designs. No need to cover them in an ugly blur that makes them worse.
I was making a joke. I understand why it is so.

None of the Persona games have a good battle system. They just have varying degrees of mediocre ones. PQ is just Etrian Odyssey, and I know I hate that from my 20 hours of EO4.
Play SMT.
I think it's just me and you? Though I think SkLa or someone tried her.

I tried her, but didn't like how slow she was in combat. Switched over to Millia.
RecursiveFault

I really like Millia, her design is awesome and she does a goddamn Million Stab with hair. I can't take advantage of her mobility though.
Really SMTIV has shit combat personally, like flat out broken to the highest degree...because someone thought no defense was a good idea. I would honestly rate any EO game combat far above SMTIV's
But whatever happened to waifu elphelt?

What? Persona games have good battle systems. It's just that the dungeon crawling is mediocre because of other stuff.
RecursiveFault

I don't care for it either, but I enjoyed playing SMTIV more, just for the press turn system. The things carried over from Nocturne are the strengths there. Even smirks feel really tacked on.
ArclightBorealis

But it's still the Press Turn system so I'd rather have that than most other JRPG combat systems out there.
Play Digital Devil Saga.
I love all the fan art coming from this game.
I enjoyed EO more simply due to team synergy being important and no one Class being completely useless. I like the freedom it gives me a lot more...

I unironically like the combat in P4, maybe cause it's easy and I get through it quick. Also I like dungeon crawling for some reason.

The dungeons are better than P3 or P4 for sure but there was a hell of a lot more going on in those games. I was very quickly fatigued by PQ. The one puzzle I can remember running into (on the 3rd Labyrinth) Literally has Naoto take it out of your hands and do it for you if you fail 3 times. I'm not saying it is a bad game, I just don't like it
It's an RPG based around systems that I find very tedious. The core mechanics are not enough to hold me in. I need something more then just dungeon crawling. The map drawing is cool for the first labyrinth and after that it I feel like it doesn't add anything. I'll fully admit it is probably good, I just do not like it
The thing is, the Press turn System makes things legit worse in SMTIV because of the smirk System. Combined with no Defense and you legit will either get wrecked or blow through the game with little trouble after Medusa,
I like having binds and Status elements from EO which a lot of games ignore, they are key features since they work even on bosses

I don't enjoy mashing a weakness with the same character nearly as much as Press Turn, but I'm being kinda picky. I'd say classic FF is pretty lame before the Job system got more robust.
I don't even know how to express why I dislike EO combat. There's a lot of classes, lots of customization, but just fighting in a battle isn't very enjoyable. I respect the game, but it don't care for it.

There's nothing wrong with P4's combat. It's just that it's simple and boring. However, the dungeons are terrible.

She's free for a while, but then she'll cost the same as any other character.

So the game is sort of implied to have Souls-like boss fights.
Look at this bad ass motherfucker.
One of Hallownest's five greatest Knights and defender of the Queens Glade. She was driven mad by her Queen lost and the garden overrun. Still she retains her honour, offering fair challenge to the Hollow Knight: Nail against nail. A duel to the death.

I guess, combat has never been important for me in an rpg. It's at the point when ever I start up a rpg I assume the combat is terrible. But this opinion is probably due to the fact that I hate turn based rpgs.

Well then don't say it's bad. I don't think that Persona games have amazing combat, but I wouldn't say they are bad.

None of you know what bad is unless you've played Xenosaga 2. Makes Persona 2 look like god damn DMC3.
