-F I FUCK THIS MODEL

IMO Chie's new voice is too bubbly.

ALL THE HOMO MEN TO NOW BREAK AWAY

ALL THE LET ME OUT, CAN YOU LET ME OUT?

FACTS:
Last Surprise > Mass Destruction > Reach out to the Truth

Kanji shits on bosses, Naoto shits on trash mobs.

>he isnt playing undub
pleb

Naoto is pretty shit against bosses. she is super squishy

Kanji can be a real good tanky and damage dealer member and also boasts good support skills.
Teddie is kinda like the Eiko to Garnet in FF IX in a way that both are good healers but Yukiko is more focused on dealing magic damage and removing status effect. Teddie on the other hand has very good party wide buffs.
As for Naoto I can't say much since I didn't use her very much but some people really like her for her Megido skills

Hence why I didn't suggest using her for them. Use her to clear out trash, Goho out to swap her out for someone else if you really need to, then kill the boss.

But it's way easier to just use someone else in her place and have a good squad for both bosses and normal mobs

Now I face out, I hold out
I reach out to the truth of my life
Seeking to seize on the whole moment, yeah

Yeah, naked truth lies, only if you realize
Appearing in nobody's eyes, till they sterilize
Stop the guerrilla, warfare to keep fair
Bro, change your rage to a smarter greater cause
You know the stake is high stardom is near
Those who sympathized you died, killer pass you by
Do not waste your time In hating flirting guys
Use your might to AIs to do justice to them all

Now I face out, I hold out
I reach out to the truth of my life
Seeking to seize on the whole moment to now break away
Oh God let me out, can you let me out?
Can you set me free from this dark inner world
Save me now, last beat in the soul

Yeah, flooded apple pie
Left until somebody cries
Goddamn always talking shizzle behind man get left behind
Come on and quit that shizzle tell me what you really want
Louder ladies I can feel nothing In the tone of your voice
Closer it gets y'all know how everything reflects
Your soul and spirits lost pretends gets rejects
Look man you are one who actually you detest
I guess they're good reasons why you can't see next

Now I face up, I make head
I bleach out cock and bull of this globe
Thinking and seeking on the whole moment
Now it's on!

Oh god it's enough, are you satisfied?
It's already disgusting to dance with your palm
Save me now, last beat in the soul

Now I face out, I hold out
I reach out to the truth of my life
Seeking to seize on the whole moment to now break away!

Oh God let me out, can you let me out?
Can you set me free from this dark inner world
Save me now, last beat in the soul

Oh, please save me now, last beat in the soul

>flooded apple pie
You can really tell they had Lotus Juice sitting in the room while writing lyrics for the full version of the song.

>今だ!
Fixed that for you, you fucking embarrassment.

Eh, play however you want. I keep Naoto on my team since I keep Yukiko for healslutting.

I love Margaret.

ALTERNATIVE FACT:
Last surprise > Reach out to the truth > Mass destruction

Golden is better, but I wish they hadn't gone overboard with their "rebalancing"

P4 let the player breathe even in high stakes situations.
P5 smothers you throughout the entire journey. The PT business is work. All the game ever talks about is work, even when you're trying to have fun and forget about that for a moment. Work will seep in and ruin your good time, like most events in game.

No, P4 is comfiest.
P3 is dreadful in a good way.

Because no other Persona has koromaru

The beauty of Koromaru is he shuts the fuck up and sits quietly like no mascot character ever since has been able to. Teddie was annoying and Morgana was orders of magnitude worse. Just NOT HAVING them makes Persona 3 so much more pleasant to play.

No jap voices, automatically inferior.

What? You can mod jap voices in, just like you have to do if you want jap voices in the original, that makes no sense.

>he didnt hack his vita
There is a patch for the jp voice

They released an undub for the Vita? I'm surprised, I take back what I said.

Wiping All Out sucks. I generally prefer the FeMC OST, but Wiping All Out isn't nearly as good as Mass Destruction.

I prefer Morgana to Koromaru. If Koromaru was removed from the game it would have absolutely no effect on my view of P3, he feels like he's there just for the sake of being there. I don't dislike him, but I could do without him. Teddie was annoying, and I didn't mind Morgana, but at least the two of them had a presence and offered something other than the novelty of being a non-human Persona user.

Is it weird the ending of P4 actually made me a little more sad than 3?
What happens at the end of 3 is definitely sadder. But something about the cozy townlife with all your friends being over in 4 just gets to me more. You know the characters will see each other again. But being right there with them everyday, being to see each other whenever they want, is over.

It's sad in a way, but it also feels kind of forced because they act like they're never going to see each other again when if you think about it for more than a second tou'd realize they can see each other again if they want, they're just a train ride away from each other. It feels like it's more of a goodbye from the player to the game than it is from Yu to Inaba.

The is the first good persona thread in a long while.

>Using Chie

Has anyone here actually beaten P3/P4/P5 on the highest difficulties? what is it like?

How much they make work seep into everything the PTs do was weird. I didn't necessarily mind it, but it was a strange decision for them to go out of their way to make it so the PTs couldn't enjoy themselves when they were trying to take some time off and relax.

>If Koromaru was removed from the game it would have absolutely no effect on my view of P3, he feels like he's there just for the sake of being there.
And if Morgana or Teddie got removed, their games would be better

Fuck no. Margaret is much hotter than Elizabeth.

I feel like its less of a "goodbye forever" and more of the end of something.
Obviously they'll see each other again. But the days of being around each other everyday, living in the small town you'd grown so used to is gone.
They'll never be able to go back to what they had. And that, I think, is what makes it so sad to me. Nothing lasts forever. And the fact things will always end eventually is really sad to me.

Why wasn't Desu half as popular as persona?

Yeah, but even with that the way they act seems a bit dramatic for being just a train ride away from each other. If Yu were going to a different country or something then keeping up communication could be difficult and the response would feel more appropriate, but as it is it comes off as a bit of an extreme reaction.

I don't agree with that, and I don't even like Teddie very much. Both of them could do with some changes to their character, but just removing them wouldn't make the games better and would require a lot of changes to each game because they both have pretty prevalent roles.

Wrong.

Also

>Judging based on looks over personality

The fuck is wrong with you? Looks are fleeting.

Ugly art, stuck on ds, and harder gameplay

It doesn't have as much appeal on a surface level, I think. A lot of people complain about Yasuda's art, the production values obviously aren't as high as Persona's and the music doesn't stand out like the music in Persona, among other things. I also find Persona's structure to be a bit easier to lose yourself in than DeSu's, which could contribute to it as I feel like someone starting Persona is more likely to stick with it because of that. Persona's also easier and I think turn-based combat the likes of which you see in Persona is more accessible and widely liked than SRPG combat.

Yu is what is known as a Chad on Stilts, he isn't an alpha but people are willing to push the narrative that he is for various reasons.

Kanji is alright, been a while, be he focuses on Electric attacks.

Teddie is a focused healer/buffer. Good in boss fights if you need that.

Sort of. You don't 3D explore anymore, so it's like Phantasy Star Portables story mode. But the dungeons are still there and the battle system is still there (with P4's player controlled party being added, horrible IMO, the game is fine with AI control).

There's no "the Answer" but most folks don't like the grind/tedium of that, so you might youtube that.

Okay I got a P3 question. Where there any hints to what was going on with Nyx and the beast and all that jazz in the base game without playing the answer? or is the answer literally just an "oh shit we forgot to explain all this so throw something out"

because persona 4 is comfy and light-hearted throughout the entire game, whilst persona 5 suffers from tone whiplash. The game tried to be light hearted but then deals with rapists and drugs and shit, plus actual murder

Erebus goes completely unmentioned in P3 in any form and even in The Answer because the dev team realized that having Yukari be the final boss wouldnt be interesting, Metis starts talking about it like 5 minutes before it appears.
The thing that for me The Answer helps with is the fact that people dont realize that P3MC didnt just die, he became an eternal seal in order to ward off Nyx, his final attack is called "The Great Seal" after all, and the ending of P3 implies doesnt quite expand on it since the mc doesnt talk.

>actual murder
3 people die over the course of Persona 4, 4 if you are an idiot

Persona 4 > Persona 3
for the sole reason that there is lover/friend route foe female social links in 4
Its silly in 3 that you are forced to cheat on every girl if you want to max s. links and the game doesnt even aknowledge this

Because there was a deliberate effort to have a comfy and laidback feeling to it and there wasn't an effort to do that in 5 because it's a different game with different intentions behind its design.

>t. Edgy shitter
Hot tip, Persona 3 is overrated with a horrific filler dungeon as the premise, and the only reason why people remember it is because the MC dies at the end.

That's because Makoto is the true Chad persona user, can summon multiple personas at once and do fusion spells by himself, can fuck all the women he meets without getting in trouble, man's a hero to all.

>and the only reason why people remember it is because the MC dies at the end.
that's not true
they also remember it because Shinjiro dies. He was a very important and deep character with maybe 10 minutes of screentime in total and it deeply affected 2 other characters that together had maybe 30 minutes of screentime and 0 relevance

Man this opening is really underrated. When I sat down and listened to it while watching the OP animation, I realized how damn catchy it was.

Persona 2 when

it isn't. walking around tokyo on a rainy day with beneath the mask playing in the background is peak comfy.
here's the ultimate redpill on p4: it was purposely made way safer with much lower stakes than other persona games for maximum shilling. atlus knew it was going to take a long time for them to transition to hd game development behind the scenes, so they needed something easy to shill for many years until p5 was ready. that's why p4 is so soft compared to the rest of the megaten franchise.

Yeah but it's still better than her original voice

cell phones were already a thing back then and myspace was at its peak. the ending just isn't nearly as sad as they wanted it to be. which is fine, not every game has to have a sad ending.

>A lot of people complain about Yasuda's art
those people are called plebians.

based and teddie-pilled

It's the fact that it actively interferes with your play time. You want to make one more thief tool before the day ends? Nope, fuck you go to bed.

Because the disembodied word bubble is the main characters inner thoughts. When you turn that into a separate entity, the MC loses all feeling of control, individuality and freedom.

Easiest question I ever answered

Attached: Rise-chan.png (1048x707, 277K)

>At least Morgana did more than attempt to sexually assault anything with a vagina
>Implying Morgana didn't hit on females just as much as Teddie
He was just more reserved about it. The only reason Morgana remotely gets a pass for me as a "somewhat" likable character is because he actually had a reason for existing instead of being some random mascot character sitting in the cognitive world.

Chie and new girl ruin it.

I just dislike Morgana in general.
>The whole Beauty Thief situation being handled childishly because he felt like he didn't belong in the team anymore
Seriously, they could have handled Morgana feeling useless about himself far better. It's basically the only significant part of his character arc after tens of hours and it was handled poorly.
>Coming back after vanishing
They honestly only did that to keep the ending as lighthearted as possible, but it killed any and all emotional impact for me. He should have left for good alongside the Velvet Room.
>Him being a Velvet Room attendant
I actually liked this aspect, but there could have been more to build up on it. Like perhaps Morgana coming into the Velvet Room or noticing it's presence during the course of the game, I don't know.

Chie was in the original so I don't really see your point. Marie however, was an awful addition.

How did you react to this?

Attached: tumblr_meavamTjbk1qg02deo1_500.jpg (498x567, 121K)

I think the gameplay loop is not appealing to most, even those who like jrpgs. The original could get especially tedious, but the second was a mix of persona and the original's design which created a clash where you wanted to raise links but some links were mutually exclusive and the plot was less relaxed with little downtime to appreciate the new social system.

>Yeah.. Sorry let's not do that today, it's time for bed.
Every persona game did this, but P5 tried to minimize non-character text across the board, so Morgana was the one telling you to get to bed early. It's a stupid complaint.

>>Coming back after vanishing
>They honestly only did that to keep the ending as lighthearted as possible
I think they did it just so he could stick around for spinoffs like Arena. I do think he should have stayed gone though, and I didn't even dislike him, it just seemed more appropriate that way.

Chie's new voice is irritating, and the voice direction makes her seem like an entirely different character

I'm pretty sure it wasn't made only because people weren't interested. Even the hacking scene had considered firmware beyond 3.60 impossible, but one competent hacker took a look at it and instantly cracked it.

Not to mention that there were three other fake-out deaths on the previous dungeon.

Akechi doesn't come back though, maybe he will in P5arena if that ever happens but as far as the main game is concerned that isn't a fake out. Ryugi's fake death was stupid as was Morganna's but at least 1 person 'dies'.

I only hated it because he locks you in your room and you won't be able to call kawakami for that sweet massage on the many story related days that happen

That party is more than good enough for the entire game. Chie does lag a bit for a few dungeons mid game, but the game is easy enough that it doesn't really matter.

I don't get the Yosuke being shit meme, he can get his best weapon way earlier than anyone else, and while he can't do the same damage as Kanji or late game Chie, he's still more than capable and rounded with a useful buff.

Speaking of Morgana telling you to go to bed, I really hope Persona 6 adds a clock to indicate how long specific events take to complete. It doesn't take an entire fucking evening to eat a burger or study at a cafe.
>For example
You have about 3 or 4 hours of time total after school to do events before you have to come home for the day (until you gain the ability to go out at night). Some events consume 30 minutes of time while others may take an hour to three to finish like spending time with friends or doing a job. It just adds on to the realism and allows you to do more.

Attached: 72974244.png (212x212, 24K)

I swear Yosuke critted more than anyone else so I liked having him.
I would have used other characters but 3 and 4 make that annoying as fuck since the others dont get any xp like in 5 which is the best part of that game, being able to actually use everyone and not just the same 4 blew me away and made the game 10x better for me.
5's social link benefits were so fucking cool to see after playing 3 and 4.

functionally, it's the exact same shit. it's really not that big of a deal.

It will come to switch since the vita is dead.

Sure, the vita afaik is hacked past 3.60 (and it's pretty sweet being able to play a hacked PSTV), but I'm talking about vita emulation on PC.

How does Yea Forums feel about the state of Persona designs as of P4? Do you think they need to improve, or are you fine with the way they are? I honestly think they look overly cartoonish and I'm not really feeling it. Zorro was shitty as fuck.

Persona 6 will be in a prison. The protagonist will be a girl and the final boss will be a priest.

Sounds really depressing, but I think we're done with Greek mythology and I'm tired of God's getting thrown into the endgame of Persona, so scrap Moros. I'd probably say 710 to be nice though.

Persona 7 will be the best in the series.

>the otherworld is a dreamland accessed by taking a pill before you sleep
Would be pottery if futaba and Tae developed it together. Cognitive psience was a serious area of research in P5 lore, and futaba would surely want to honor her mother's legacy, and she would need medical expertise to make a pill. Tae is her immediate connection, and a good one since she already has experience with experimental/black market medication.

I like that track, but I hate the fact that PSP OST is like 5 times smaller than original OST. You can't even replace tracks to get the original OST back.

I wish people would give Persona 1 a shot though, it's actually good and explores Jungian themes the best. I guess it was too subtle for some people.

Here's a really good video series analyzing it, though the first 5 minutes are kinda shit with cringy anime drawing of the video creator and your usual quick rundown on the entire series.

Holy shit please tell me what they did user. I never finished watching it.

Zorro reminded me a lot of Kanji's persona. I don't mind the new designs since they fit the tone of persona pretty well, but nothing will top kaneko

I just realized how similar Persona is to JoJo. Hopefully this means the writing quality will improve in Persona 7 and 8.

I wasn't refuting you or anything, just saying that emulator wasn't made because nobody cared about it.

Hashino is a terrible writer, and all of his goons are terrible as well. Persona 6 will have writing on par with Arena.

I loved Ryuji's Captain Kidd, Makoto's Johanna, and Yusuke's Goemon
got a little sad when I saw Ryuji's turn into Saiten Tasei (although after using it enough I started to like it as well but not as much as Kidd) and Makoto's motorcycle permanently became the humanoid transformer version.
Was ok with Yusuke's Susano-o but Yosuke's Susano-o was much cooler looking in 4
Morgana's Mercurio was the best transformation though

Nothing, he's bullshitting

The Prison aesthetic was already used in P5 though. That's virtually the only defining aspect of Stone Ocean, so I can't really think of what else they could rip for P6 other than the antagonist being a Priest or religion taking a higher focus in the plot.

Although she's not my waifu, kawakami would be my first choice. Having a slutty teacher suck me off is pretty hot.

Who's going to do the writing for Persona 6 since Hashino is busy with Re:Fantasy?

It's good if you don't listen to it in the game itself.
It's a terribly short loop with really obnoxious start, old battle theme is much better for your ears.

So it's left vague about whether he survived or not similar to the game?

DAMN BRATS, I WILL SUE

Not him, but while I liked P4's OST, it was kind of lacking. The entirety of P3's OST, including the songs from FES and Portable were amazing. I really can't remember much from the P4 OST outside of The Almighty, Your Affection, Heartbeat Heartbreak, and the TV Realm theme.

Shame she's not in 2

>Speaking of Morgana telling you to go to bed, I really hope Persona 6 adds a clock to indicate how long specific events take to complete. It doesn't take an entire fucking evening to eat a burger or study at a cafe.
Obviously not, it's so the game doesn't get absolutely pedantic with the events. Personally I think it'd be dumb if eating a burger took an hour and you had like 6 hours after work. Just seems totally unnecessary.

The Battle Theme is probably the weakest song in Megami Ibunroku Persona, everything else is phenomenal though.
Shame about the PSP soundtrack. It's nice, but it doesn't fit the original game at all.

It just bothers me because I would have even accepted Ayase just like, talking on the phone with Elly/Nanjo or whatever

I really think that incomprehensible part wasn't taken from Bible, but is just a badly translated mess that TTS couldn't pronounce. I really tried to run everything I could hear through Bible quote searcher, but I couldn't.

I don't think old battle theme is phenomenal, I just said that it doesn't make you want to kill yourself as hearing "livin ballin manly" for thousandth time.

I didn't really consider the PT stuff work, I think that's on the people who play to either get invested in the idea or not. Honestly, I think P5 is super underrated in the way it carried its ludo-thread throughout the experience, for better or worse. The first dungeon invests your character and the player into the conflict in the hopes that you'll find the gameplay loop enjoyable, because if so it contextualizes the entire game around you the player WANTING to be a phanton thief and following the ups and downs of pursuing that want.

I think the pills are dumb, even if we had dumber shit like TV screens and phone apps in the previous games. The rest pretty cool.
Do we really need a mascot character?

Mascot characters are only in the game for marketing purposes honestly. If Persona 3 were to get a remake in the current year, Koromaru would probably be heavily involved in every scene or have a robotic voice. It actually makes me wonder what the mascot of Persona 6 will inevitably be. A bird? A lizard?

hopefully it's a jack frost.

Nothing retarded about it, it sucks that Golden is still locked to the Vita/Playstation TV.

>TV screens and phone apps
Perhaps I'm retarded for never noticing it before, but the entry into the other world in all three nusona games relates to some form of escapism. Persona 3's midnight hour representing sleep.

I think that theme would continue on to future games, and pills(drugs) are certainly a form of escapism that could be utilized.

Why do people claim Koromaru is the mascot character of Persona 3? He isn't really used that much in advertising to my knowledge, and is hardly considered the 'face' of his game compared to say Aigis. Is the claim that Koromaru was intended as a mascot? He didn't really get that much attention for a mascot. Off the top of my head, I know Koromaru "presented" a trailer of PQ2 with Teddie and Morgana but that's all I can think of whereas Aigis is on the logo for Dancing Moon Night I believe. At least in the trailer she was.

Aegis was the mascot for 3

>Persona 3's midnight hour representing sleep
That sounds like a stretch to me. Is sleep really a theme in P3?

Yes? Even the final lines reference it.

Death is P3's theme. In Greek mythology, Thanatos(death) is the brother of Hypnos(sleep). Sleep is also often seen as a temporary death in many cultures.

Sleep is death user

It's been a while. Do you mean sleep is used as a euphemism for Door-kun dying?
What I mean is does the game really make that kind of connection throughout?
When compared to the TV and the phones, it just seems weaker is all. TV and phones were the means of information spreading and the source of plot progression and problems. They were heavily connected, right? With P3, it's not like the characters physically sleep to enter the midnight hour. It's just something that happens. Hell, they have to stay awake for it right? P4 and P5 USE the mediums to travel to the other 'world'.
Not literally though.

The entire ending plays like you're falling asleep until you actually die.

Sorry, I may have made myself unclear. How exactly does the Midnight Hour represent sleep?

How does it not? Is it not self evident that while everyone is unknowing and hidden in coffins and only persona users are 'awake' that you're basically in a dream?
Even death can only visit you at midnight.

You've convinced me.

>Is sleep really a theme in P3?
I wouldn't necessarily say "sleep", but Death is definitely a form of escapism. People commit suicide to escape from the struggles of life all the time.

In addition, I would say one major theme of P3 is obviously apathy, with those with Apathy syndrome basically being sleepwalkers. It's a reference to the idea of being 'buried awake' or giving up, similar to the way those with depression will sleep the day away in bed because they're unable to leave it.

>it's not like the characters physically sleep to enter the midnight hour.
That's intentional. The midnight hour occurs when most people are typically sleeping.

>Hell, they have to stay awake for it right?
Exactly. This is what separates those with potential from the powerless masses.

>P4 and P5 USE the mediums to travel to the other 'world
but they do use their respective mediums in a way that changes the perspective of the world around them. 3 was much less direct about this.

i'd be down for some futuristic rock like boom boom satellites.

I will agree to the connection in that people without the potential are in a kind of sleep during the events of the Midnight Hour. The heavy imagery of death, however, in the form of coffins does not entirely convince me however that the Hour represents sleep itself but instead that there are parallels between death and sleep.
I should make it clear I guess that I'm not saying that P4's shadow world represents the TV or something just because they use a TV. Similarly, I'm not convinced the Midnight Hour represents sleep.
Is the idea not that these worlds represent the state of the world the characters live in?

I would say Metal, Grunge, or Vaporwave, but SMT kind of already does that

Why do those have to be mutually exclusive?

Why does what have to be mutually exclusive? If you mean sleep and death I am not saying that. I'm questioning if the Midnight Hour represents sleep as opposed to some kind of reflection of the state of the world or perhaps a reflection of the minds of those living in it.

Any SMT fags around?
Why people say that SMT4:A is like a persona? Im about to start playing it, finished base 4 few months ago

Just to be clear, I mean that the idea is the world is sleeping itself into the grave via apathy. Hence both being correct not being opposed

The character interactions are a little more Persona-y than SMT-y. Just play it, wtf

Your allies are actually your friends who stick with you through thick and thin. Not one of them turns around and tries to murder you like every other SMT game.

langoliers?

It's not actually like Persona, the writing is just a lot more like a generic anime compared to what you usually see in SMT and some of the characters are really blatant waifubait, much moreso than any characters in Persona. Really, the writing is mostly just lazy and so it's very generic and a lot of SMTfags who don't like Persona see that kind of writing that a mediocre shounen would have and see it as being like Persona.

HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE AND I OWE IT ALL TO YOU

The persona 3 dorm theme is probably the best OST i've ever heard.

Okay, I think I understand what you mean now. I don't really agree on the initial statement but I understand.

Why not? I would say P3 is pretty tight with its theming and while I haven't played it in a while I don't think I'm wrong about this.

It's more generic shonen power of friendship than every other SMT

>P6
>Color: Green

I could see it having a story revolving around how invasive tech/social media/etc has gotten. They could even take a page from MMBN and have the internet be the new tartarus/tv world/metaverse.

Also, the social links follow a pattern for the most part in each game:
P3: Tell them what they want to hear
P4: Tell them what they need to hear
P5: Not sure exactly, probably something to do with rebellion

P6’s links could be about helping the people stop being envious of other people and find their own happiness or unique talent

The writing is trash and doesn't have the focus on the plot, instead it favors character interactions, since the characters are trash their interactions are flat and often fall in generic anime tropes, for example two of your female teammates swooning over your cock. It's retarded and it mirrors Persona very well. I really hope SMT V doesn't have that kind of crap.

dagda is almost as annoying as teddie.

Honestly the character development in Apocalypse was pretty solid for the most part, with the exception of Nozomi anyway. I really disliked how immature the cast was though, and how often they would override the story to interact with one another with pointless banter.

It is. Only thing better about PS2 ver is opening and main menu.

I simply mean I disagree on what the midnight hour represents, I don't disagree with points on theme at all. I don't even think you're wrong either, it's just how I interpret a game I've not played in a long ass time.

>dagda
>annoying

He was the only non-annoying character in that game. All of Nanashi's "friends" were annoying as fuck. Especially Hallelujah and Nozomi.

I dunno why people keep doomsaying and blaming the team when its known that higher ups forced them to make it more friendly for younger audiences.
Originally cast was supposed to be even older than IV.

Gameplay in IVA is top-notch and plot isn't really as bad as people claim it to be, at worst you can safely ignore it and enjoy the game.

For what its worth, I wasn't the first person you responded to, as I think I'd say the midnight hour is more like a dream than just sleep, though obviously you can't dream without sleeping and the connection between Midnight Hour and Witching Hour is obvious, with the Witching Hour resulting from the time your body has the highest melatonin count (12am to 2am).

how do i play golden without owning a vita

PS TV

I’d like to see a spin off persona action game where the gameplay revolves around the swapping personas on the fly to change their fighting style and skills. For example:
>Equip Loki
>Use Garula to knock enemy into air
>Swap to Thor
>Use Ziodyne to hit enemy in air
>Swap to Arsene
>You can now fly a bit in air thanks to arsene
>Fly up to enemy while they’re stunned in air
>Hit them with Dream Needle in air to knock them back down
>Swap back to thor and use Megaton Raid to come down on the enemy

I think it’d be a good game concept because instead of having certain pre built combos that can’t really be changed, you’d basically be able to create any kind of combo using your personas.

The theme in P5 is that most of them are having their lives fucked with by someone else. (Ryuji had the new coach, Ann had the other model chick, Futaba had her uncle or whoever it was, Kawakami has the dead student's parents, Tae has that doctor guy, etc)

Can you believe this is one of the only pictures of actual monsters and gameplay I've seen of P4 on Yea Forums, in the literal pile of P4 and P5 threads over the years, this is probably my second or third time seeing any actual fighting and not a waifu.

I hate that they allow you to control your party members now. They feel less like actual people with depth, and more like boring party members who swallow your dick whole. I though the Tactics system would be a defining aspect of Persona after 3.

Persona 4 as a whole already made over a million and they practically milked it to death at that point. Give it another couple years to a decade. Persona 3 and 4 will be remade in full HD on a next generation console.

It totally removed any interest I had in the actual gameplay and instead of working on the dungeon as soon as they were available I started putting them off until the last few days.

SMT IV was just as good and IVA combat is peak Megami tensei, as for P3 both P4 and 5 are better

Smt 2 > Nocturne

Atlus doesn't acknowledge Persona 2 sadly.

IV and IVA were no where near as good as Nocturne writing wise, same with P4/5 and P3, gameplay wise P5 and IVA may outshine P3 and Nocturne but its ultimately more of a choice between better gameplay worse writing and better writing worse gameplay.
If you use gameplay only, 4 is utterly pointless next to 5.

Only thing IV does better than Nocturne is soundtrack

>Nocturne writing wise
Nocturne story was literally 'the world ended now go and do something' IV was 100 times more interesting
>same with P4/5 and P3
No, P3 got too much filler not linked to the dark hour to be considered good writting

P3 has problems but P4/P5 have more.
As for Nocturne, that's just not charitable in the least and your bias is showing. IV's plot could be summarized just as uncharitably but with even more extraneous anime bullshit.
Being certified as 'samurai' for some sect with a teammate of retards before the world ends and you have to go do something isn't better writing, it's a similar scenario with too many extra coats of paint.

>P3 has problems but P4/P5 have more.
Nah, P3 problems are just as much and just as retarded
>Being certified as 'samurai' for some sect with a teammate of retards before the world ends and you have to go do something isn't better writing, it's a similar scenario with too many extra coats of paint.
The extra coats of paint make it more interesting

Well you've really convinced me.

where the fuck are you people when I defend P3's tactics system

The only difficult part of 3 is not being able to control the party directly. Once you either get used to the tactics system or figure out how to break the game with persona fusing, 95% of it is just as piss-easy as 4G.

>all these posts about the party AI and le bad rng
use tactics retards

t. beat 5 on hard with the AI controlling the party

right inside you since you must be talking to yourself, lack of control did absolutely nothing for the gameplay except frustrate while you prayed your dumbfuck "real person" did the complete opposite thing you wanted to do

God, I hope P5 Royal will improve the disappointing social shit from original P5.

If you count separate dates, P5 had more social shit than P4

what disappointed you about 5? the lack of sae? i like that every confidant gave you abilities instead of just boosting XP levels when fusing

Not that guy but the events were kinda shit.
>Canceled fireworks festival
>Hawaii being fucking nothing
>Worst babe hunt
Most of the events were just about eating and conversing about Phantom Thieves stuff. Even the group chat was mostly "hey guys will this really work" every fucking day until the change of heart.

Dont play it, just look up the cutscenes on youtube. The Answer sucks and the only actual answer you get is delivered just as well in a wiki plot summary.

A lot of them were pretty lame outside of what they gave you gameplay wise.
Not having Sae sucks, but the boring SLs made me not even want to push forward, in fact if they didn't have gameplay rewards I probably wouldn't have, as evidenced by me maxing the fortune teller asap and leaving the reporter as soon as I figured out what she did.
Plus as much as I prefer P5 to P4, the party member SLs in P5 were all as bad if not worse than 4's who I disliked a lot already.

I mean party interactions outside of main story, events etc. Whole game was centered around MC, Makoto and Futaba (and pancakes-boy). Ann and Ryuji were important only in the beginning and Ryuji death scene felt like a joke, they really were trying to make me sad??
In P3/4 every party character felt important, they all were used both in story narrative and side stuff. P5 got characters like Haru. I honestly think that people who disagree with this played only P5 or it was their first game in series.

Raidou is an action game but the combat isn't very good, you don't have direct control over your Demons like that and you'd have a hard time making any kind of cool combos in it. It's a shame too because the combat is the only thing about it that's really lackluster, outside of that the game is mostly great, but the combat really holds it back.

I would have liked to see them try to apply the ideas behind the Tactics system into P4 and 5 instead of just dropping it entirely, but the system itself was shit. It didn't make the other characters feel like their own people, it didn't individualize the protagonist, it just felt like an arbitrary limitation that made the game less fun to play.

>In P3/4 every party character felt important,
Hell no, Everyone in P3 but Mitsuru, Aigis and Mc were not important after their arcs and even Mitsuru gets uniportant at the end and after Naoto arrives in P4 everyone that is not Yosuke is benched story wise

That’s cool that they tried to make an action oriented game like that, but yeah I was hoping for something like what I posted where you can create your own combos by switching personas on the fly for different skills, stats, movement options, etc. Would make a cool beat em up I think

>Boss nanashi
I wanted that dorky looing motherfucker
The first two Devil summoners had that in spades with the loyalty system, right?
At least until youmaxed it out

If you're lucky P5AG can be that, rumours say that it its an action game now if it its a cool one no one knows

I really wish P4A and Ultimax were more accessible now, they look pretty fun. I’m at least kinda surprised they never made a vita port

>he doesn't like Disco Ninja Frog

>we never will get a Raidou 3 where gameplay's DMC's V but you aren't a fucking cripple or limited with summons
Least raidou's fucking comfy, 1920's japan's nice

The events in P5 are just weird because they're deliberately unsatisfying. It would be one thing if they tried to make events that were fun and just fucked it up because the group had no chemistry or something, but they go out of their way to have something get in the way of their fun, like getting the news about Okumura at Destinyworld or the fireworks festival being cancelled, or then even at Hawaii, even though nothing gets in the way of them enjoying themselves, they're all bored and talk about the fact that they're just doing the same stuff they'd be doing back home. I don't really mind because it was obviously deliberate for them to be unsatisfying, but it's a weird decision. The only time you really get the group having fun together is in Mementos, and I enjoy their interactions there, but it being in Mementos and being regularly interrupted by battle and doors opening and all of that is kind of shitty.

Raidou OP was great youtube.com/watch?v=FHtaqROGDOY

There was a reason for that at least. Normally where it'd have been a cutscene area, it gave you a break to save and quit if you had to go somewhere. In P4, it's the same as Yu going straight to bed the second you went upstairs. If it was Nanako telling you to go to bed, it'd probably be just as memed

Persona Collection when? Atlus has to re-release this shit eventually. P1 and the P2 games got them because 4 made the series so popular that they needed a way for them to be easily playable

I don't think I skipped this once when I was playing through it. Raidou 2's OP wasn't quite as good though.

It's surprising that P4G is still Vita exclusive. Most of the fanbase hasn't even played it.

They need to port it out or it will die on the Vita

SEES would probably be full-tacticool.

Shame Mercurius is locked to the final dungeon.

>The first two Devil summoners had that in spades with the loyalty system, right?
Soul Hackers did at least, I didn't play the first one though. Loyalty also did a much better job of what they tried to do with the Tactics system in P3, in my eyes.

God I seriously fucking hope not, Raidou dying for another uninspired P5 spinoff is the worst outcome possible.

>GNN: After the launch of Persona 5, the “Persona” IP can be said to be unprecedentedly hot. Many players hope that the first two games of the modern series, Persona 4 and Persona 3, can be released on current platforms. Does Atlus have any such plan?
>Hiraoka: Although we can’t specifically tell you anything at the moment, we have always received a lot of suggestions from the players. We have received and understood the voices of the players, and if there is an opportunity, we will actively discuss it.

They know people want it, at least.

I wonder if they're deliberately disappointing not only for plot reasons but also because they already knew they were going to do add new shit in P5R (unless the new shit is only Ponytail-chan related). I get the other ones but Hawaii felt just too empty.

Not "were essential for story development", but
>felt important
They were used during whole game, even during story segments, they talked and they interacted with each other. Was Junpei an undeveloped character? Was Ryuiji not an awkward mix between Kanji and Yosuke?
P5 is all about main story, party interactions are Makoto does this, Makoto thinks about that. Meanwhile rest of the party just stands there, with Morgana occasionally talking.

I'd prefer they re-release the entire series if they did a compilation rather than just the "modern" ones even if P1 has aged like shit

Persona SRPG when

>what is Devil Survivor 2
It even did social links better kek

I wouldn't mind, I'd prefer a Raidou game, but as far as I can tell, Raidou's already dead. I wish it weren't, but if Raidou never gets another game I doubt it'll have anything to do with Persona that that's how things turned out, and considering that, I wouldn't mind seeing a Persona action game because if they're going to be making these spinoffs anyway, it would at least be nice to see a MegaTen game with real-time combat that does a good job with the combat for a change.

Devil Survivor 1 + 2. Pretty fun, I couldn’t get into them though. I got to the part in the beginning where they were in the graveyard and kinda lost interest in the story

The Loyalty system and Tactics aren't quite comparable. It's mostly just your demons saying fuck you unless you give them gifts.

Devil Survivor starts off slow as shit, but when you really get into the game and start unlocking new demons you'll get addicted.

Yeah, but that at least made the Demons feel like they had their own opinions on how to approach the fight and didn't trust in your judgement, and the Tactics in P3 were made to individualize the protagonist as well as your different party members. In that respect, I think Loyalty does a much better job seeing as it actually conveys that feeling, which Tactics doesn't do at all.

I actually really liked the Miku remix DAN had

>Nozomi blabs that Dagda is inhabiting you
>Says nothing about Danu inhabiting her

Nearly got us killed with that bullshit. She went on the shitlist after that.

Fair enough, I see your point and I agree. Too bad Devil Summoner is dead. I really liked the creative and experimental stories. The gameplay was rather nice too although the party was a little crowded and Magnetite was annoying.

>Mass Destruction
>Wiping All Out
>Danger Zone
Why were the MC themes so destructive in P3?

Because by fighting the Shadows and unsealing Tartarus, they were unwittingly working toward the return of Nyx.

What kind of question is that?

Deep Symbolism i guess

I can’t wait for the surge of persona threads when royal comes out

The things I'm most exicted about in Royal are the new intro and battle theme. I never got tired of BABY BABY BABY but Last Surprise did get kind of boring for me.

I feel like we will only get the surge of mindless waifu shitposting threads with zero actual game discussion.

You are my nigga.

I'll agree on music and theme, but I prefer 3's gameplay to 4's. The combat is so simple that I feel it needs the tactics management to make it more interesting, and I prefer Tartarus and its short, randomized floors to P4's 10 extremely long, linear corridor floors.
