I don't care.
So is it better on ps3 from the digital store or emulating the ps2 version on pc? I'd kinda rather play on ps3 but I wonder how much of a difference the resolution and shit makes.
I play it on PC using PCSX2, runs smoothly.
The PS3 version is fine from what I've heard.
I prefer Portable
Out.
Emulating so you can fast forward
Aigis is my wife

back to resetera femcfag
>LJ always referencing Burn my Dread and Mass Destruction in other songs he sings
What does he mean by this?
I'll give it a go, tomorrow when I'm back at the PC. Starting with P3Fes Undub is fine or is it advisable to play older games before that ?
I don't think husbands should be showing off lewd pictures of their wives.
Starting with P3 is fine.
You'll appreciate the QoL changes in the newer games more.
hes got one shtick and hes sticking to it
I fucking hate his design.
why? is he literally you?
First time playing P3, any social link I should definitely get maxed out first? Already feels a lot different from P5. Played it no spoilers, but this time I'd rather know some tips and tricks so I don't have to bash my head against the wall.
Yes.
You don't get much bonuses from SLinks aside from the XP, unless I'm forgetting something. Feel free to do whatever you want.
Emperor is useful to have maxed, since Odin is busted.
Also, romance is forced for the female SLinks, and girls will get jealous and break the link if you have multiple girls past rank six or so, so try and have only one girl past rank six at a time (until you finish the link).
Also, social links will break if you ignore them, though there is a large timeframe, like a month or two. Social links can also be broken by the wrong dialogue options, so be careful.
if it's your first time, you should do the links you find more insteresting instead of minmaxing, no?
Mitsuru is only available after the 3rd exam week, btw
I fucking loved persona 3's soundtrack.
So far, I really like the old couple at the book store.
So I think I might focus on them firsthand.
I love Fuuka!
Honestly, P3 probably has one of the best OST's in all of gaming.
im gonna replay persona3 after persona 5, im not enjoying p5 as much and wanna see if its nostalgia. i liked the delicious brown girl.
P5 >>> P2IS > P4 >>> P3 >>> P1 > P2EP
why does kenji look off in everything that isn't the orginal persona 3
Cringe
It looks like someone trying to spell "Penis" while having a seizure
I dont understand how anyone can like fuuka, she was the worst character in p3 and thats saying something considering you have ken as well
>P2fag
Fuck outta here
Best girl
You can emulate the game in 1080p or higher in widescreen while the PS3 version only runs 480p full screen or stretched. You can even add a party control mod though I don't recommend it for a first playthrough.
Only problem on emulator are the interlaced cutscenes but there's a mod for that.
I'm a Yukari man myself, but I certainly appreciate Fuukafriends.
I don't like Fuuka
I love her!
Imagine not loving the sweetest character
Heartbeat, Heartbreak

What a faggot. Kenji is a good looking Chad

What's with all the naming themes for P4
The max link guide literally gives you, 3 free days, and it doesn't matter if it's a newgame plus or not because of how the game is structure, for maxing all links you get the last persona, Orpheus Telos which special built for the extra boss.
I don't understand why Junpei doesn't get more love. He's easily the best character in the game.
Cute Aigis
Very difficult to max all s.links in P3 without a guide, and even then most guides I've seen aren't entirely accurate and are easy to fuck up. But there aren't any major gameplay mechanics locked behind them like there are in 5, so you can just stick to the ones that interest you the most.
Imagine if Persona had tolerable gameplay and/or writing
nice numbers
more like junpei iori ace defective
spoilers wont spoil that much of the experience anyway
I played it and loved it. Tried P4 after and didn't get to the end but it's pretty good as well. Same with P5 but got to the end and the game felt too rushed and the girls felt kinda of bland except maybe the doctor or the prosecutor sister.
Anyway my tips would be:
-dont try to max out all links the game is short on time since it jumps around too much (you'll know what i mean but you wont be able to progress S Links for a long time with some characters and not upgrade stats sometimes as well)
-try going as far as you can dungeonwise and then do S Links (same shit you did at P5 with palaces)
-try progressing the stats evenly, but try going with study first since it takes the longest fucking time
thats it I guess. oh and some S Links dont take time, so try experimenting with all of them b4 you commit to one since it can reverse if you fuck up.
-use guides sometimes if youre too scared to fucking up
aaaaaaand, siegfried is overpowered as hell
the game has some pleb filters scattered around
but the endgame is easy as hell
party can do silly shit battlewise but it has its charm and its own memes so i guess its cool
Still on my very first playthrough, currently in mid october, so for the mitsuru SL you have to have int maxed out correct?
What? Junpei is loved.
Love when Yukari tries to make fun of Junpei when they're facing down the apocalypse and he explodes at her. What a bitch.
Iwatodai dorm 24/7
I NEVER FELT LIKE
Rude. But it is a good scene. In the movie version Akihiko punches Junpei's lights out right after that. Aki is kind of out of character in the movies.
i'm with ya bro. Sometimes i feel like fuukafags are just being ironic with "loving" the literal worst character in the game. The only character the main cast who contributed less than her to the plot was the dog LMAO
Changing seasons
Signs of love
I'm not a fan of fuuka but calling her the worst in the game is kind of a stretch
changing seasons
beneath the mask
In P4, can you advance social links with all of the girls without dating them, or do you have to date them and get the bad Valentine's Day event? P3 not letting you just be friends was weird.
P4 has non-romance routes, thankfully. Some of them are a little soul crushing though
Is Ms. Toriumi best girl?
Do you have to consciously say to have a relationship like in P5?
Yes. I love sensei.
Yep
Thanks bro.
nobody cares about my posts so I'll dump random p3 content for you guys
Yes, but you also need to wait for november
God bless you user
Men and women cannot be friends.
why is minato so based?
Yeah, I don't like what they did with it in the movie. In the game it does a good job of showing how stressed the cast is, how they each deal with that differently, and how each of them have developed over the course of the game's events up to that point. Perfect the way it was.
>Minato
His name is Makoto.
>still no p3 remake
>choose your character
>fuuka/naoto
Nice
Welp wells running dry unless people want p4 may mays

Why is Aigis smiling?
They're looking at a Yea Forums drawthread
They're watching the security camera footage of Door-kun burning his genetic DNA onto her heart.
That's her fetish
Do you guys use the same name in all Persona games? I always go with Jotaro Kujo.
>tfw no Aigis gf to look after me while I’m sleeping
what is poinking?
No, i give them thier canon names for maximum self-insert
Hah this reminds of the time I castrated my cat on accident. Apparently when I was little I used too hold down cats and try to pull their limbs off, and my parents had to stop me. Anywho, I was tugging on this cats ballsack, his name was Ozzy (named after Ozzy Osbourne, of course) and I accidentally ripped his sack off. Apparently though I didn't actually remove his testicles, so he ran off screaming with blood everywhere. He was a snow white cat, so it was pretty fucked up looking. Anywho, he started licking his testicles and they got infected and then he had to be castrated. Ha ha, oh good times.
P1 is Naoya "Piercy" Todou
P2 is Tatsuya Suou
P3 is Ouji Kenkyo
P4 was Ryu Hayabusa
P5 was Ike Hayato
holy shit that one's funny

How come Persona 3 threads are max comfy, but any other Persona thread is shit?
P3 was the last persona game before it became fully mainstream with P4, hence a lot of normies and bandwagoners haven't played it
Never played as femc, is her personality actually similar to being a dork like that or is this just cute fanart being cute?
she's not super dorky but she's much more personable and charismatic than p3mc, so it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to see her doing something silly like that
she's canonically a huge dork
>That Yukari in Yasogami uniform
I need to see if there is art of every persona girl in a Yasogami high uniform cause that shit is always so good to look at.
They look even hotter when it as well
I don't hate it it's just AGRESSIVELY unremarkable and boring. not everyone needs to be over the top anime designs but this could be any other NPC in the game, he just happens to have a ! over his head. Social link was ok.
Devil Surivor one is kino.
cause theres other persona threads up right now which is where all the worst people in the community are right now
they might come here eventually if those threads end before this one
I prefer Yukari.
>personable and charismatic than p3mc
No way fag P3 MC is fucking Charismatic to the max without even trying.
what the fuck
Ken is based though.
When the moon = Heart Break > Your affection > Tokyo Daylight > Changing seasons
Your schoolmates' S.Links in P3 reverse if you don't do them long enough. 90 days for boys, 60 days for girls. The girls eventually reach the stage where they'll get jealous if you hang our with other girls, which in game terms translates to their counters losing 15 days every time you hang out with another girl. Example:
- Yuko (Strength) reaches this stage
- Yuko has 60 days left before she reverses
- Next day, you hang out with Chihiro (Justice) - Yuko has 60-1-15=44 days now before she reverses (the additional day is the day you haven't hanged out with her)
For this reason, it's not recommended to have more than one girl at this "jealous" stage because their S.Links become very difficult to manage.
But the toughest part in maxing out S.Links is the summer vacation when you can't do any school S.Links, and it lasts exactly 45 days. Hope you see where I'm going with this.
because they're containment threads for the p3 babbies who shit up every thread about the other games.
probably because hes unironically not very good in combat for 2/4ths of the game until he gets his regen skill which unironically fixes all problems you could ever have with a physical attacker in any SMT game ever.
Personality wise he's max sploopy though.
I admit, she wears it welll.. but i'm a sucker for thigh-highs so I'm gonna pin it on that
P1 is border line unplayable. P2 (both versions) are pretty solid though.
stop spamming.
I actually want to get into it... should I emulate the psx or psp version of P2?
P2 is also borderline unplayable.
Circlejerking.
Man when will p3 and p4 ever get ported to ps4
fuck you
moron
you fuckin idiot
PSP. Persona games actually have a decent track record of becoming better with rereleases.
Remember rumors come true and hail hitler.
Really out INT'ing me.
Funny, I think the opposite
P2's lack of Estoma made me want to tear my arms off from the horrible encounter rate and huge dungeons
I love Yukari-san! She has the best figure of all the girls.
Reminds me of a guy I knew in school.
Next, certain S.Links are locked behind your stats, so you want those stats maxed out preferrably before those S.Links become available. Yukari needs max Charm, Fuuka needs max Courage, Mitsuru needs max Academics. Therefore, while you should prioritize S.Links, use every other time slot you have to increase your stats as much as you can. The arcade in Paulownia Mall gives the greatest stat boosts (but it costs a lot of money), the shrine gives a big Academics boost if you are in a Great condition, the school infirmary gives a free Courage point when you are Sick/Tired, study every night etc. Research that shit. You should have max Charm by June (I think) when Yukari's S.Link is unlocked, but it's possible to max out all stats in 3 or 4 months.
Another tip: schoolmates S.Links become temporarily unavailable the week before the school tests (like in P4 and P5 AFAIR). So prioritize schoolmates S.Links whenever they are available and do other people's S.Links only when no one from school is available. Nozomi (Moon) is an exception: he's from your school, but he's pretty much always available, even during the summer vacation.
>those thick thighs slightly leaking through the holster
I'm playing through 2 right now at the beginning and even after playing 3 4 and 5 it's not that bad so far at least .
Except for random encounters, definitely way too high of an encounter rate.
Also holy shit the amount of attack types surprised me
What's taking her so long?
Most of the problem with 2 tends to be from the balance. You can get through the entire game not using the fusion system.
The trickiest part is phone calls from your S.Links. Sometimes they'll call you at night (when you aren't in Tartarus) and offer to hang out on the nearest Sunday. If you say yes, you'll get some points towards their next S.Link rank. This is useful when you are stuck between ranks and need to hang out a few times before unlocking the next rank. But there are a few problems:
- these phone calls are random
- more than one person can call you, and you can't say yes to them all or somebody's S.Link will reverse
- your Sunday becomes reserved, which means you can't buy anything from Tanaka's TV show or do anything else other than hanging out during the day
- if you say no, the person might stop calling you at all (I'm not sure about this, but it's what I experienced - could be because of the randomness factor)
If you manage to max out someone's S.Link between arranging a Sunday date and Sunday itself, they'll call you on Sunday morning and call it off. No hard feelings, no bad consequences; enjoy your free day.
Also, Sunday dates are the best for certain S.Links like Yukari and Mitsuru who have fuckhuge gaps between some of their late ranks. You can close those gaps instantly with a gift. But this can be tricky to finesse because you need to know you are stuck in such a gap before the Sunday date, AND you need to get a gift which will yield maximum points... and that shit can be rare at times (like, available only on Tanaka's TV show on certain Sundays you might have spent with a friend before).
She's the special needs VR attendant. Her sister would have this solved by now.
I feel bad for people who think 1 and 2 are good
Does it heavily matter where I put my stat points when leveling up? It seems like putting points into Dex for more sp and magic damage and Vit for more hp seem to be the best options over everything else.
I just recently played through P4G and beat P5 when it came out so I'm finally going to play through P3FES (would've played 3 sooner but the PS2 emulator was shitty for the longest time so I never bothered). I know pretty much nothing about the game so sorry for the stupid questions.
Does maxing out SLinks give you anything besides the final Persona for that arcana? Like does maxing out a party member give them a Persona upgrade or was that added in 4?
I've heard dungeons work differently from the later games as well. Your party can get tired and just not let you finish the dungeon in a single day? Is that more of an issue at the start and gets better as the game progresses or will every dungeon take more and more days to complete?
Getting close to completing Portable. I accidentally made FeMc a slut, making her get with Shiji, Ryuji and confessing to Junpei.
I feel no remorse for what I have done.
A few more general tips:
- you don't need a matching Persona for Sun and Devil
- join a club as soon as you can to unlock Chariot S.Link; if you don't join a club, the game will force you after a few days
- Chariot unlocks Strength
- Strength unlocks some other S.Link, I think it's Tower or Devil
- Magician unlocks Tower or Devil
- Hermit unlocks... Devil? Fuck, I don't remember who unlocks who, just talk to your S.Links to find out there's a new S.Link in town
- join the student council as soon as you can to unlock Emperor; Emperor unlocks Justice
- join the arts/photography/music club to unlock Fortune; Fortune unlocks Priestess
- buy a Mad Bull at your dorm and a weird takoyaki in town as soon as you can, you need them to unlock Hanged Man, you'll save a day if you already have both in your inventory
- Hanged Man unlocks Sun; visit Sun at the shrine as soon as you can, he'll tell you he lost his red pen. Koromaru has his pen, or rather will have it only after you find out Sun lost it. Get it from Koromaru at the dorm and take it to Sun on the next day to start his S.Link.
- if Star stops appearing, don't worry, it happens only on the week before school tests.
- pray at the shrine to boost an S.Link's points. You get more points with a matching Persona and max Charm.
- if you walk Koromaru at night, you have a random chance of meeting one of your S.Links and boosting their points. The S.Link will be chosen randomly, might even be one you already maxed out, but you might get lucky and get the points you need.

>that part in the final fight where all your friends are cheering you on
>can faintly hear shinji say something
>Does maxing out SLinks give you anything besides the final Persona for that arcana?
No, just the item that unlocks the fusion of Orpheus Telos.
>does maxing out a party member give them a Persona upgrade or was that added in 4?
No. But their Personas upgrade automatically during certain plot events.
>Your party can get tired and just not let you finish the dungeon in a single day?
You and your party can get tired, which makes you weaker in fights. But you can still keep going. However, if you teleport back to the first floor of Tartarus, tired party members will automatically go home.
>Is that more of an issue at the start and gets better as the game progresses or will every dungeon take more and more days to complete?
Depends on how good you are. It's completely possible to reach the barrier that blocks off the next section of Tartarus in a single night.
I played Persona Q just for Aigis.
Is Persona Q 2 any good?
>Spoiler
"Let's do this." still rings clearly in my ears. After Shinji did I exclusively used his weapon set on the MC to carry on his spirit.
Sucks that the MC can't use all weapons like in P3 in P4 and P5.
Okay, thanks for answering.
Also playing through Q.
Feels so overwhelming with all these characters to have to pick from. I can't imagine what kind of mess Q2 will be with even MORE of them
Abuse stairs or anything that gives you elevation and it'll make the Shadow that's chasing you stop and turn around so you can get a Player Advantage.
God I wish future persona games just make it so everyone gets xp even the ones not in your party just like 5 did from the moon social link benefits.
Imagine playing Q and Q2 and be able to make any team you want anytime without having to grind other characters for hours.
Why do waifufags have such a hard time accepting that Aigis was a shallow mary sue who was ungracefully forced into the story after it had already been written (t. Hashino), hijacked the entire third act of the game, and made everything all about her?
Because none of that is true?
Did you mean Marie?
I don't like the toaster because anyone who grows a personality 90 hours into a 100 hour game is boring, but you do you.
She was shallow because she was robotic at first with a sole desire to protect the one she wronged years ago. Through that guilt, she learned to develop emotions.
Only to lock those emotions away again in The Answer which gave birth to BEST GIRL METIS.
Sounds like Marie and Makoto.
Aegis, Marie, and Makoto are all narrative crutches used to substitute the main character's voice.
literally all of it is true, aigis is a shit character whose generic become a real girl arc was trash next to the game's actual theme
the dev admitting this sounds like bullshit though
>when you wash the shit taste of p5 outta your mouth by playing p3 again
What a legendary game
>hijacked the entire third act of the game, and made everything all about her?
This isn't true.
persona 3 is the most boring game in the series
Truth.
My man. P5 was such utter dogshit. Feels nice going back to the king.
>when you ditch memesona and play a game that provides a better challenge while using the exact same mechanics like Neckturn
P3 threads are the only place I can complain about and shit on P5 without dumbasses calling me wrong
it's also a place without the annoying p5only waifu posters shoving ann and makoto down everyone's throats
The only thing those posters have done wrong is like a newer game/girl, I remember when these threads used to run Fuukafag out.
You're wrong
to be fair, there's always at least one waifu from 3 4 and 5 always being posted
They're better than Yukarifags desu
I don't remember when this was made, but this might help you decide who to use
Fuuka bump!
I'll bump Fuuka.
Don't bump Fuuka, pat Fuuka!
Okay
Is it Fuuka time? Count me in
For me, every hour is Fuuka hour.
I love her
Cute
Cringe
Fuuka is the cutest!
she absolutely is
One last Fuuka before I sleep
Goodnight
What a smile
Have a nice night
Sleep tight user
its always a pleasure when a good persona 3 thread devolves into fuukaposting
I think at early stages the Magician link is quite useful so safely go with that and laugh at Kenji's drama. In Persona 3 I ended up using Hierophant, Magician, Star and Emperor personas most, so do them. Though, it also depends on which party members you'll use.
The fourth movie handled that perfectly in my opinion.
Why is Fuuka so best?
>P3 thread ends in a Fuukaslide
>Feel terribly lonely again
Every time.
>cute
>tech expert
>starts off quiet, grows to become more social
>a good student
>can analyse enemies to tell you their exact details
>a problem solver
>genuinely cares for her friends
>and she's cute
She's easy to pour chocolate milk on
this
Fuuka more like Fuucute
Play on an authentic PS2 for that atmospheric AV static
Or don't -- while I was playing The Answer today it froze twice during loading screens
>atmospheric AV static
It's more about having CRT TV. PS2 on LCD screens looks like shit.
Nah, going back to old sony consoles sucks ass. Xbox and nintendo is fine, but not sony. All sony consoles have ugly blurry graphics and on top of that, they consistently have the worst disc drives that always fuck up and the worst controllers. Stick to emulation
Wait, is there a fusion system? I've been halfway through the game for half a year and I'm pretty sure I've only done summoning
Yes
WANT TO BE CLOOOOOSE
Mitsuru really is the high IQ choice. The game only let's you date her if you are smart
