Alright lads, is persona 1 underrated? Was maki's story really that bad?

BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY

I didn't think it was bad at all, just a bit simplistic. The focus was clearly more on the dungeons and combat.
Then again I'm still only playing through Innocent Sin.

Oh, but Snow Queen Quest's story was definitely lacking, that was clearly just for the gimmick dungeons. I guess it was fun to use other party members, and the school characters get a bigger role (though most of them come back in 2 anyway).

...I liked the PSX soundtrack.

Talking about that, what happened to the manga?

NOW I FACE OUT
I HOLD OUT

It was crap. At least the PSP one was hilariously unfitting JPOP. The PSX was just forgettable entirely.

P1's my second favorite persona.
Fusing personas and sacrificing items to give them abilities is an interesting concept.

P1 is great. The story is somewhat simple but the atmosphere is 10/10.

Perusona fandom in a nutshell.

Plebs: PSP ost
Patrician: PS ost

Bloody Destiny and some other tracks were fucking great in the PSP version.

Kids don't have the patience for dungneons these days.

Guys, I like both and think P2 (at least EP since I barely played IS despite owning it for literally years now) has the best battles in the Persona series, but my personal favorite battle system is still the P1 battles.

Jesus Christ finally, a Persona fan that has some good fucking taste and isn't jerking off Innocent Sin as the entire entity of P2

>P1 and P2 dungeons
>Good
Ok grandpa

P1's system was ok, my only complain is how useless Shotguns and Axes were, so Mark was only good because of his nuclear skills.
The game does have a lot of elements but the fact that you can consult their weaknesses whenever helps.
And hidden persona abilities were a very nice thing too, being in a tight spot and suddenly having your persona nuke the enemy team was fun.

I wish ATLUS would bring back some of this stuff.

P1's dungeons were great, P2's not so much

I would not call them good crawlers at all. P2's are boring and huge for sure but half of P1's dungeons are just a fucking maze of stairs.

>start a Persona thread with P5
>dub vs. sub war and butthurt about Sony exclusivity

Yeah, Mark got the shit end when it came to non-persona attacks.
>gets an axe AND a shotgun
Keee-rhrist. You think they would have buffed the range of that shit by the PSP port.

"I'm the Goddamn Japanese Batman" Mack-daddy Kei "Nate" Nanjo is still the Number 1 though. His mindset kills my sides.
>be a rich nerd
>shit goes down
>grab a fucking claymore sword
>and a sniper rifle
>later on summon your butler from the dead to fight alongside you
This fucking guy. Too bad he will never be good enough to be Yukino's boyfriend.

The forest, haunted house, company building and arcadia were good tho.
The only ones that weren't particularly good were the green one full of water and the underground club, and that's just because you have to go through the club twice.
The others like the hospital or police station weren't bad but not good either.

Nanjo is married to his job, I don't see him married, maybe he'll adopt a kid and have him continue his legacy, but otherwise Nanjo isn't a family man.
That might be because his own family isn't very functional, since his butler was more of a father than his real one.

Don't forget switch and PCbeggars

Translations never ever.

DON'T YOU WANT IT BABY

KEEP IT REAL

LET'S KEEP IT REAL OOOOOOHH

>Didn't answer the questions right after fighting that teddy bear
>Didn't know it mattered until 20 hours later

>plays Old JRPG with choices
>thinks they don't matter.

There's no bad ending in Innocent Sin like the first game, right? I'm playing it now and would rather not be screwed over.

>BROWN NOT SHITTING HIMSELF
C'mon mang

Well, your choices affect how stuff plays out and if your team gets their ultimate personas or not, but the ending stays the same.
I'll give you a tip, get a pixie and use it in fusion attacks until it mutates, the mutated persona has estoma and that makes things much faster for you, since you can't buy estoma from stores or get it as easily as in P1.
IS is kinda tedious, but if you're a fan of the story you can overcome it.
Good luck

All endings in IS are bad ends.

This. All endings in Innocent Sin led to maximum suffering.

Ok, can we talk about p5 dub/sub?
just so this thread doesnt die

No, let's talk about Pierced boy and why he's a great protag.

I think the fact that you don't start like a nobody then gain friends lik in P3 and 4 is a nice change of scenery.
He's already in a big social circle, he's well known, and he's trusted by all the school.

Tatsuya was similar but his only friend at the start is Lisa, it's not until later that he's suddenly conveniently reunited with his childhood friends

Why is persona 4 so overrated? I just finished it today and it's arguably the worst game in the Persona series.
Also, P2(both games)>P3>P1>P4

Thanks senpai.

That's the impression I had, I was just wondering if there were alternatives that I should be making separate saves for.

>P2(both games) over anything
Opinion discarded

Piercy/Naoya is great.

P1 > P3 > PQ = P2 IS > P4 > P2 ES > shit >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> P4 Arena >>>>> P4 Arena Ultimax >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> P4 DAN

He is.
The part where you meet his shadow and he judges you based on your choices is one of my favorite parts of the game, makes things feel very unique.

Because it's the easiest to get into, and normalfags dig how heavily it relies on being high school simulator. Unfortunately the characters, and especially the story suffered heavily for that. But it's not like fans of P4 really have much comparison since they tend to only play that one.
Also agree with your rating. Haven't played 5 due to localization, but from what I've seen the atmosphere and characters are already leagues ahead of 4. Gameplay and dungeons are supposed to be the peak of the series too.

Is it even worth playing P4 Arena and its other spinoffs? Or is it just bland fanservice i can avoid?

Bland fanservice, much like P4 itself.

Why was Piercy so fast?

It's alright if you want a simple fighter to play. P4 AU's Golden Arena is really fucking fun for instance. It's just that the OC donut steel character and the story are complete garbage. And I really mean garbage. It's below shit fan fiction writer quality.

Yeah loved that part. But he really seemed to me like a focused and competent character, based on his dialogue choices in-game and his dialogue in the manga. Also I like his design.
Elly best girl by the way

its a spinoff that is pretty easy to skip as the story really means nothing. If anything you can look up the story as it provides some more info/closure on P3 characters. Also it introduces best girl.

Gameplay is a simple but fun fighter, good time waster if you into that kind of thing.

i like p1 manga

>Also it introduces best girl.
And this is how you spot a filthy secondary that doesn't know shit.

She was first in the p3 drama CDs you tard

The P1 manga is great. I wasn't expecting it to be so good at least.

Persona powers

That's disappointing, but i expected no less from P4 spin offs though.
I hope P5 is better, if it's like P4 then i might just stick with the classics and not let my memories of a good series be shit on by pandering

P1 manga felt like a shoujo.

>That Shidou bossfight
>When it looks like you beat him, Shidou goes full nanomachines and the lyrics kick in
>mfw

How many people do you actually think played P1 and P2? My guess it 1/4th the amount that played P3 and P4

>I hope P5 is better
Non-EOP here, trust me P5 it's miles ahead of P4 by leaps and bounds

As someone who doesn't care about P4, I still think it has some redeeming qualities. I'm also hoping P5 will be good or at least decent. I'm not expecting much though.

>my guess it 1/4th the amount that played P3 and P4
That's way too high. I'd say 10% and half of those quited either or both at some point.

>Anne doesn't slap Ryoji around when he acts like a perv like Chie and Yukiko did to Yosuke and Kanji
>Anne laughs about it and puts her arm around him

This reminds me how almost every single party member was an insufferable shit in P4. Except Kanji. Kanji was cool.

>I still think it has some redeeming qualities
Me too, i liked the dungeon desings, that are waaaaay better than Tartarus, and the gameplay also improved too
But i think plot wise P4 falls behind, making the game much less enjoyable; also some characters were downright boring or insufferable like Marie

P3 MC got the rawest deal of them all. Literally sucked into a door and being both simultaneously dead and forced to be forgotten in order to stop a death god from annihilating existence.

>gameplay also improved too
How did it improve? Just the fact that they removed the physical element distribution makes it an even simpler game. I fully agree on the rest though. P4 has an interesting core plot but the writing and pacing are so bad.

>Marie
Jesus. Don't even write her name please. I like her design though. Even if it clashes with everything else in the game.

P3 MC will be alright when Elizabeth saves him.

Yeah after eons

i like the early concept of p4 and i preferred most of the proto designs and when dojima was actually the killer and teddie was actual and girl and naoto was actually a boy

We all know he inpregnated at least 10 girls, so he still has kids around at that time.

Everything about beta-P4 sounded and looked great. Or even that rumor that Yukiko would be the real killer. That at least would bring about some nice unexpected twists to the game.

Literally impossible

>he doesn't have any Ice-absorbing Persona

It felt much less grindy, especially because the EXP distribution and less floors, sometimes going throught 40 floors in Tartarus felt much like a chore..
>dojima was actually the killer
>teddie being a girl
This is actually much better from what we got, what the fuck

The dungeon music for that one mall dungeon in the other world was one of the best tracks in the series. Also really liked the boss music.

>tfw I legitimately suspected Dojima was the killer my first playthrough
>find out he really was in the beta concept
Did they just not have the balls to do it?

Nah, more like they thought it was going to be obvious, so they went with a "surprise" instead, even when it made less sense in game.

Bug spray.

>played P1 on the PS1 so much the original designs are still offputting to me.

Mary looks better with brown hair at any rate.

>P5 = chaos
>P4 = law
>P3 = neutral
Neat.

Nah. Just use a bunch of magical and physical guards.

This song is horrible.
Ever since I looked up the lyrics.
Engrish is not fun at all.

>go into this fight very underleveled
>spend over an hour fighting her and then just fucking die
>spend a couple of hours grinding like 10 levels and then steamroll her in 15 minutes
I still think the difficulty curve midway through that final dungeon is ridiculous, the rest of the game was perfectly acceptable in that regard.

An original Persona thread on my Sup Forums?

It can't be worse than 3.

They're pretty fun as fighting games, but the plot is rather mediocre.

Also Sho is best boy.

What did you mean by this? Haven't played 5 yet.

You literally kill The Demiurge summoning Lucifer the king of demons

You tear down the law because you're a bunch of woke teenagers sticking it to the man.

>play as a bunch of honorable thieves that operate outside the law
It's easiest of the three to make a connection to.

He look very edgy, are those spin-offs canon?

what about p1 and both p2

Persona started at 3, like Fallout, you silly.

Naoto is the fucking worst
>Acts like she's the hottest shit around
>I'm a super good detective people just don't like me because I'm young/a grill :(
>Lets herself get kidnapped without having a way to record it
>Letting herself get kidnapped does literally nothing to advance the investigation
>Does absolutely nothing to catch the killer but reiterate shit we learned two fucking months ago
