3 = 5 >>>>>>>>>>>4

p3babbies don't want people to know those games exist, because they destroy their narrative that 3 has the deepest story and characters in the series.

4 >>>>> 3 >>>>>>>>>>>>> shit >>>>>>> 5

1 and 2 are pretty shit games by today's standard. Poorly balanced and badly paced. Also 2 has some serious choice consequences in the game that affect the story but does absolutely nothing to inform the player that they're even making significant choices or that their actions led to those consequences.

1 and both 2 games are waifufaggotry with wish fulfillment to appeal to the lowest common denominator, so none of the nu-persona fags have ever played it.

3>2IS/EP>>1>

Adachi is a better antagonist than anyone in P3 and P5.

3 >>>>>> 4 = 5

Which Persona game should I play if I want to emulate it?

aren't*

P1 and P2 have only aged badly in the gameplay department, music, art, and especially story and character wise, they have held up much better than even the latest Persona games. However, how dated their gameplay is makes it pretty difficult to go back to them today. Fuck atlus for remaking 3 4 and 5 instead of putting effort into releasing remakes of earlier Megaten games that actually need the touch ups.

Kamoshida came close but everyone after him is a joke.

Based

Not really, he's just a whiny bitch for the most part.

Even Atlus themselves tried to forget that 1 and both 2 games existed. Persona 1 and both 2 games are basically just SMT games with lower budget. It wasn't until 3 where Persona actually had its own identity.

>1 and 2 are pretty shit games by today's standard.
Not really. In terms of mechanical depth, balance, difficulty and general content they far surpass the new games where the ball is always in the player's court and it's hard to die on top of it being padded with school and social link trash.

The only thing interesting about him is that there was no way you'd expect it to be him. Otherwise, he's just a wimpy sidekick character to your uncle that they purposefully made a bland comic relief character so you wouldn't expect it to be him.

Not an argument.
A character doesn't have to be a good person or likable to be a good one.

I can totally agree with OP.

Liking 3 the most is fine, but you can tell they're just an edgy tryhard when they also go out of their way to dunk on 4.

P3FES -> P4 -> P5

This I love 3 the most, but I liked 4 too. Man, call me a basedboy but when I finished the game and this played at the end, I was in tears.

Adachi was obvious as fuck the killer. His slip ups and contradictions made it obvious.
Nice double digit IQ dude.

3's gameplay is even worse than 1 and 2's, but p3babbies will never admit that. i do agree that 1 and 2 could really benefit from remakes, though.
persona had its own identity from the very beginning. it set itself apart from smt with its story/character-driven focus (as opposed to smt's alignments), modern urban fantasy setting (as opposed to smt's post-apocalyptic setting) and influence from jungian psychology and zhuangzi philosophy (as opposed to smt's gnosticism).
all 3 did was change the gameplay loop by ripping off thousand arms and watering down the elements that still connected persona to megaten as a whole.

3 > 4 > 5.
Still not finished 5 because it's a boring piece of shit, and is fucking Persona 3 AGAIN.

Well its more like 4 again than anything.

Yeah and 4 is Persona 3-2.

I don't see how you could call 4 or 5 boring when 3 has you grinding the same dungeon all game and you need to be close to max level to finish all the content.

Easily. Tartarus is shit, but at least it's raw dungeon crawling at a decent pace. You can blow through each segment in half the time of 5's shit dungeons, and the fact that the game lets you refill SP for free means that you're actually allowed to use the majority of skills. The inclusion of dungeons doesn't do shit if they themselves are fucking awful.

Maybe when it comes to the dancing games.

It's not a matter of being likable. He does nothing as a villain until the very end and then shows up spouting some bullshit just to get btfo without any actual character or development.
Being able to sum him up with the simple phrase, "fuck society" is what makes him a shitty character.
