There are people on this board right now who don't recognize that Persona 3 is the GOAT game of the franchise.

>200 empty floors

No

I love Fuuka

yea because P4 and P5 are better. P3 babbies are absolutely delusional. Garbage dungeon and a story where absolutely fuckall happens until the last few months of the game.

Who the fuck are these people. I'll force them to see.

How do you fucks find the time to play these games, they're long as hell

Bout an hour a day.

>yea because P4 and P5 are better
Haven't played 4, only 3 and 5. They're both some of the worst JRPGs I've ever played, not sure what people were even hyping up about 5. Both of them have
>braindead combat systems
>uninteresting (or virtually nonexistent in P3's case) dungeons
>shallow characters
>terrible story that drags on forever
>no exploration and little-to-no side content
>next to no actually enjoyable waifufag options, despite apparantly being waifufag games
Decent music and visual flair are all 3 & 5 at the very least have going for them.

Its got the best girls too.

You mean the best girl

what do you consider a good game

> 200 randomly generated corridors
> AI controlled party members in PS2 version
> Fusion not as good as SMT IV/SMT IV:A

I still think it's a good game, and P3P is what got me into megaten, but P3 is not the best.

>SMT IV/SMT IV:A
maybe because it came out almost a decade before those?

And your point?

wow you sound like a real fun guy to talk to. You must only play truly sophisticated games plebs like us wouldnt understand like final fantasy and the witcher series.

Why is FemC such a pimp?

Probably that IV:A has the best fusion in the series and it's insane to expect any previous game to come close.

>high self esteem
>sexually active
>most powerful persona user

How can we stop this woman

It ain't easy.

Why contain it?

>Expect

What are you on about? No shit you would expect a game released a decade before a new installment will have some unrefinement.

My point is that P3 is not the best BECAUSE of these outdated mechanics.

Release the beast

Oh, for sure. P3 isn't even the best Persona, since 5 was the first one to actually have good gameplay.

Koromaru is best boy

That depends what you value, persona 3 is my favourite because it has a better story and I still find the gameplay fun.

it has a great story and characters, but the gameplay is obsolete. P5 absolutely perfected the Persona dungeon-crawling and social link gameplay.

So are you saying you can't criticise a game for being outdated?

By your logic Megami Tensei for the NES must be the greatest in the franchise.

You can judge a game and compare its strengths and weaknesses to later entries in the series user.

but you can't hold it to the same standard.
That's like saying pre 2000 internet is worst than current internet.
It's true, but the reason was the technology was inferior, comparing both is stupid because the newer one is obviously the better one

I love P3 and its story and I didn't even mind AI party members much, but Tartarus sucks and P5's combat is P3's with most of the kinks ironed out.
Plus social links actually doing something is cool.

P3 doesn't have a great story. It never did, and the characters are extremely uneven. It had a really good ending but the rest is middling at best and extremely poor at worst.
Especially the villains and how the story used them. Some of the biggest wastes of space I've ever seen in games. Even Kaneshiro in P5 was a big step above all of them.

Yes you can, and you just did it by comparing old internet speed to new internet speed.

Me: "I don't think P3 is the best because of this, and this, and this. I think later entries executed these ideas better"

You: "Yeah, but that doesn't count because P3 is old so you can't criticise it"

Yeah, after hearing it memed on here I've been expecting a lot more. So far an interesting thing happens about every month and a half and each month lasts forever. Hard to kill time with the most dull and uncharismatic social links in the series.

Do you lack reading comprehension? I said you can't criticize it, but that doing so is retarded

said you can*

You're free to point out its flaws, but know just know that comparing it to a modern game is stupid
