I want to play a Persona game, I've never played them before. Is Persona 4 a good entry point?

Exhentai is a good entry point.

Just wait for 5 idiot.

Yes, also youre going to get spoiled so I'd bail.

Play the games literally in release order if you want to experience the whole series and enjoy it all.
Play starting from 3 and then into 4 and then 5 if you want to play the games from where the series started to get its own identity separate from mainline SMT.

Play 3FES-4-5.

If you like the gameplay, check out other SMT games.

If you like the characters, check out Persona Q. If you like gameplay in Persona Q, check out Etrian Odyssey series.

I heard 3 was shit and the combat was clunky as 4. I wanted to start with 4 because everyone says the combat is much better.

>I heard 3 was shit and the combat was clunky as 4
>clunky as 4
*clunky as fuck.

whoops

The combat is improved in that you can control your whole party, but slightly dumbed down in that it removes separate physical attack attributes such as pierce, strike, and slice.

It's up to you. 4 is definitely a good entry point, but I personally feel 3's characterization and story is better. Whatever you choose, play something before 5. You'll never wanna go back after 5.

>Find weakness
>Continue to use weakness
>All out attack for massive damage
That's pretty much the combat in both games, the difference in 4 is that you can directly control your party members and they added a Guard feature.
If you're looking for a good combat system in either you'll be disappointed.

cool, thanks guys.

I didn't mean to say the combat is bad, it's serviceable but it does get repetitive after a while.
Story and character interactions is the main appeal to these games.

This. If you want a good version of Persona's combat, play a SMT game that is not Raidou

I'm not too picky as long as it's not frustratingly bad. I find myself quickly losing patience nowadays with older unintuitive games.

I would recommend Persona 4 Golden for the Vita. Since the Vita is hacked you can get the undub too. I started there and put over a hundred hours in it, fell in love with the game.

It's far from frustrating, it's very fluid and feels good just that it's very simple. There are a few bosses here and there that can be challenging but for the most part it's just exploiting the enemies weaknesses and then doing massive damage with an all out attack.

If you haven't played Nocturne then it probably won't bother you as much as it does some people.

Why do you faggots spoonfeed bandwagoners like this?

Rise and Teddie are actually much worse in Japanese.

Definitely sounds like something I'd be okay with. Looking forward to playing it.

Don't have a vita, so that's a no-go.

Wait it's possible for Teddie to sound worse than he does in the English dub?

Somehow yes.

Also Rie Kugimiya is generally a good seiyuu but she's better off voicing tsunderes honestly. Rise is worst girl in both versions, though.

>someone hears a game is good
>they want to play it, so they ask a question about it
There is literally nothing wrong with this. The board is not here for you to shoot down everyone's questions and call them faggots. We're here to discuss video games.

I like this guy.

I've only played PS2 version but didn't they redo some of the voices for Golden?

Fuck off from this website right now before I spoil Persona 5 for you, fucking tumblrina ironic weeb bandwagon faggot.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that Naoto and Kanji have different VAs but it's hardly noticeable. The most drastic change is Chie, who sounds more like a hyperactive spaz than a 50-year-old grandma, which people are very divided over. I personally prefer new Chie.

Are you having fun?

It's not the real Igor and he betrays you
You get shot at the end

Hope OP sees this too fucking nu-weeb bandwagoners
