how about you fucking play it and find out

what am i in for threads are fucking retarded

A pretty enjoyable ride.

I would leave this thread though if you don't want to get spoiled

Nothing happening for like 30 hours, then a somewhat decent ending ruined by The Answer.

Don't drop the series before you try 4.

Aigis.

Long dating sim with the same level 264 times with unfair bosses that require you to grind demons and spend half the game figuring out how to fuse them so you can beat a couple tables

>What am I in for?
Persona3 Fes

terrible gameplay

BABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABY

a fun time, i'm currently playing the answer my self.
prioritize charm and courage first, not that academics isn't important but it doesn't need to be maxed till november.
also slinks are more important than stats so never spend an evening working on a stat over an available slink.
there's other important mechanics but i'm sure you'll google them later on.
currently sitting on a pstv and p4g, can't wait to play.

an anime edgefest. Nocturne was better.

It's fun
Don't let the nocturnebabbies sway your opinion.

Mitsuru best girl

aw yes

What's fun about it?

getting back to the save door so you can shelve it and play Nocturne instead

Fuck that bitch. She's trying to get fucked by chad instead of looking for a way to save her husbando.

...

A man of taste i see

The best Persona soundtrack

Did you like it?

Cool story and atmosphere and an interesting meta-narrative take in which the gameplay itself is the main enemy that you have to overcome in order to enjoy that story and atmosphere.

>everyone in this thread right now

BABY BABY BABY

The gateway drug into the best JRPG series of all times

You cannot escape your hunger

I'll be "that guy" and tell you to avoid The Answer. Just play The Journey, and only The Journey.

The Answer is a combination of the worst aspects of SMT games.

or, try 4 and give up

Ignore that guy.

But 4 is the worst, what is this memeing?

just pirated this.
what am I in for?

This. If you don't like 4 then the Persona series isn't for you.

forgot pic

>better dungeon(s) than 3
>better battle system than 3
>better pacing than 3
>can slink male party members
>don't have to cringe every time a character fails to notice Aigis isn't human
The only reason 3 isn't the worst Persona game to date is because 1 exists.

I loved it and maybe it's recency bias but it overtook Nocturne as my favorite game in the series

law or chaos?

>better dungeon(s) than 3
No. Only thing 4 has is more pallet swaps.
>better battle system than 3
If easier = better then sure
>better pacing than 3
If i'm being honest both take too long to kick in
>can slink male party members
I mean, I played with waifu squad. Sometimes with Doggo
>don't have to cringe every time a character fails to notice Aigis isn't human
Are you pretending this is any way is comparable to having to listen to Teddie or Yosuke open their fucking mouths?

A game that uses one of it's best track once in the entire game. A damn shame

>Bought P3 because some dude 10 years ago spammed Mitsuru porn on Sup Forums
>Immediately play SMT3 Nocturne after finishing Persona 3

If you're out there Mitsuru porn guy, thanks.

i'm nearly done with The Journey on my first playthrough
I spent nearly every free night from like June onwards grinding, recently took a break so I didn't lose my mind
Is it worth it / possible to max all s. links on first playthrough? i kinda neglected social links for stats + grinding and ended up regretting it

i should say that my aim was to max all s. links in NG+ since all the stat bullshit is out of the way then

Without a guide to min max your time I can't imagine it really being possible, especially so late in. It's worth doing the ones that you already have got far along if you can.

it is possible, if you're a complete autist and follow a guide daily.
should leave that for NG+ anyway, you only get Orpheus Telos for doing it, and it's only function is to aid you in beating the secret boss.
I got Telos and still haven't beaten that boss to this day.

Anyhing is better than Tartarsauce, anything.

If by easier you mean not having to put upt with the ai's suboptimal choices then yes.

>murderer is kidnapping people
vs
>climb this tower and kill the boss of the month for like 30 hours before the plot kicks in

What does that have to do with anything?

Yes, definitely. Aigis is awful.

Sweet Jesus user, why in the world would you think Teddie is better than Aigis? Teddie's a dead horse of a mascot they can't stop beating

wow some real shit opinions senpai

in awakening it mentions that her kirijo group owns his body so its probably being researched

It is absolutely canon though

Plus, i liked it well enough

Aigis is a robot that pretends to be a high-school girl and talks to fucking dogs. She's terrible.

Just finished 4, played 3 last year.

Why do we have to fight over this shit every single time? They were both real nice with some rough spots that ultimately didn't mar the experience too badly. I'll bet 5 is also real nice too, though I'm sure someone will be happy to tell me it's the worst thing ever.

>What am I in for?
Marin Karin.

>I want to ride with you
She's a ride or die girl, the best ever.

Don't spout logic on Sup Forums. There is no place for such things.

As opposed to an unfunny animated bear costume that repeats his shitty pun 1000x over and has one of the most annoying voices and personalities in videogames (ENG AND JP)?

OH YEAH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH BABY BABY DUH DUH DUH DUH

Adachi is the killer

>tfw they never rode together

to avoid this make sure to put mitsuru on attack

DON'T DO THIS TO ME user, NOT NOW

KIMI WA NE
TASHIKANI
ANO TOKI

.. do you even play video games?

But user
we gotta remember those who aren't with us

I seriously had nothing against Teddie through several playthroughs of Persona 4. Fight me. To be honet, I never hated any vidya characters with some mad passion, unless they were truly fucking dicks and seeing them suffer made you feel like there is some justice in the world, even if it's imaginary.

Yes. The bear didn't go to school wearing its fursuit while the students and teachers pretended not to notice it.

That's true ;_;

I swear to Nyx if they bring him back I will burn Atlus HQ to the ground

ITSUDATE

They defo fucked

I mean, i would destroy the world just to see this smile again, but if they bring him back they fuck up the whole point of P3

>smile
>looks like he's dead inside
He is better off dead senpai

I cling to the desperate hope that Atlus has enough shreds of artistic integrity left to keep him door'd.

i mean... nocturne is definitely better, but its also 2000% edgier

Door fucked every female on SEES

Even Fukka? Ewwwww

I wanna see him as the new Velvet Room master desu

that's bullshit and you know it

Not only SEES. Persona 4 made Justice SL canon. Also, Elizabeth wouldn't push so hard to break him out if they didn't.

A very enjoyable game.
And an angel called Fuuka Yamagishi

Aha, channeling your inner Yukari I see.

Yes, exactly. Bringing him back retroactively ruins Persona 3, completely. When I tell people I don't want Door-kun back I'm usually greeted with some pretty bad vitriol... before telling them that that P3 may be my favourite game of all time...

If anything brings him back it will be Atlus caving to the retarded portions of this fanbase... and i'm not convinced Atlus are above appeasing them anymore.

>master

Excuse me wtf are you doing that doesn't look like Liz next to him

After at least six years that OP is still a strong contender for favorite JRPG opening.

I'd wager it's as good or almost better than P5's

>trapped in a room with Liz for all eternity
How horrifying.

Started it a couple of months ago it was my first turn-based jrpg, played the very first part and was liking it a lot and starting to enjoy videogames again but then got spoiled here and went back to Fighting Games to ignore anxiety

>Fighting Games to ignore anxiety
Do you only play against the ai or something?

nigga that's genki-tan

Come on,, Fuuka is cute too

Its not bad but 4 is much better

Mainline SMT games are superior to Persona series
