Start over. What kind of man child gets mad at a game when THEY fuck up?

Not be stupid and equip the charm blocking accessory.

Because 3, 4, and 5 become way too easy with full party control. Idiots like you think it's only a 3 thing.

Kill yourself.

Is there really no accessory that prevents being charmed like that?

You're supposed to prepare for the battle beforehand dumbass.

shouldve known to level up and max narcissus for the only obtainable charm accessory in the game that it doesnt tell you about that you would never find on your own because you have no reason to not just fuse narcissus into something better

There is but it requires a specific fused persona reaching a specific level and the game never lets you see which persona gets which item.

>Because 3, 4, and 5 become way too easy with full party control.
Sounds like that's a problem with how Atlus designs enemies and bosses and not a problem with party control. The vast majority of JRPGs know how to make challenging encounters with full party control, so why can't Atlus?

Hint: It's because SMT and Persona are fucking trash.

Ok so I've never played any Persona games, but it seems like the boss took control of a party member, then made it use a skill on itself to heal to full hp? Jesus what the fuck?

It's Narcissus Flower from Narcissus.

I actually liked not being able to control the party

the 14 phases are easy peasy though, at least.

Nocturne has full party control.

No, it just inflicted a bog standard charm, pretty mundane shit you see since the 90's, and you can both dispel and prevent it so in this case it's all on the player.
Nyx isn't a hard boss either.

I had Messiah when I fought Nyx. I could kill Nyx five times before I ran out of SP.

Exactly what is shown in the video.

After TWO attempts in which my main character was charmed and AI COULDN'T JUST USE THE FUCKING ITEM TO HEAL ME, and then lost, I just turned off PS2 and watched the ending on youtube.

I can't be bothered with shitty design choices.

Charm in SMT/Persona is basically being unable to attack the enemy and randomly using whatever support/restore skills the party member has on them on the enemy

will door kun ever come back?

True

nü-atlus will bring him back

>I ain't getting meme'd just to watch the final boss's HP go back to 100%
Smart man. I went in even more clueless than that, since it was a blind run and I avoided all semblances of "spoilers" like the plague. I blitzed through the Nyx battles in 15-20 minutes. She never had a chance to use Night Queen (I never knew it existed until I completed the game and saw posts online) because my party was damn OP. My main goal was finishing the final battle with Makoto's ultimate persona that made me practically immortal, and I achieved it.

It's not even that time consuming. Just go into the Monad with Armageddon and Victory alone, and you'll be lvl 99 in no time at all. Repeat for other characters with them alone in your party until you reach the desired level.

These are the types of people that say there's nothing wrong with persona 3 combat. They spend all day grinding boring shit until they can just solo everything and then when they see complaints about retarded AI teammates they shrug their shoulders and say it works on my machine :).

>it's a shitty game design choice.
because this is a subjective opinion and not a fact. you can argue that the idea makes you enjoy the game less, but you can just as easily argue that it makes the game more interesting. they did it to help you better self insert into the main character and most of the actual complaints with the system are resolved by just setting their AI properly (you don't get some of the more useful ones right away, but again they were trying to tie the story and gameplay together at the expense of being less user friendly)
the combat in nu persona isn't nearly complicated enough that you need to manually do everything. 90% of the time the optimal move is "cast weakness on man over and over" "use big dick phys move over and over until everyone falls over" "heal someone" and this is absolutely stuff an AI can and does do without issues.

especially since the main character is designed to be so much more powerful than the party members to the point that you can quite easily solo most fights with a bit of preparing, especially in P3 where you have shit like fusion spells that can literally make you invincible

Wasn't boring for me. I had a blast preparing for the "Promised Day", it was like a training arc in which I did shit that I ordinarily wouldn't do and got the absolute best Personas and equipment in the game as a result. The game pretty much beat it into me how much I needed to prepare myself, and I did. Payed off 10fold.

>then when they see complaints about retarded AI teammates they shrug their shoulders and say it works on my machine :).
Oh shit, user. You caught me. I've always defended the AI in P3, for years actually. It "worked on my machine' because I wasn't a fucking mouth breathing retard who didn't know to use tactics. :)

elizabeths story in arena makes what was already implied by p3/the answer clear as day. the only way door kun can come back is if the entire human race either obtains enlightenment and nobody ever falls victim to despair, or they're all fucking wiped out so there's no longer any need to block off nyx

this is why elizabeth says she's going to be waiting a "very, very long time" before she can see him again. the only way he can come back is if they go back on over a decade of their own writing and would make them look like even bigger retards for constantly using "everyone time travels for a weekend and then magically forgets it happened lol" to keep having him in spinoffs when they could've just not given a shit in the first place

This isn't even half true. Aigis will almost never cast dekunda when debuffed no matter what her setting is. Yukari has a penchant to cast diarahan instead of AOE heal meaning you have to go behind her. Mitsuru loves casting mind charge against enemies who null ice for whatever reason. Half way through the game Junpei decided to stop using skills all together and just auto attacked enemies to death whether he was on full assault, act freely, down enemies, etc.

See post above. Your arguments void though because you autistically powerleveled through everything instead of actually playing the game at the recommended level.

this is an actual flaw.

>Yukari has a penchant to cast diarahan instead of AOE heal meaning you have to go behind her.
because the AI priorities people at critical health over the entire partys health, important in a game where revivial beads are expensive in the early parts of the game, characters don't auto revive after a fight ends, and its game over if the main character dies. yukari's healing being such a big complaint always seemed strange when literally everyone in the group besides junpei and koro can heal

> Mitsuru loves casting mind charge against enemies who null ice for whatever reason
literally can't happen if you set her to knock down. also ice break exists

persona 3 was the only persona game that actually took advantage of the main character being a self insert with no personality in an interesting way because the main character is (you) and everyone else in the party is their own person.
you had to physically give party members their gear and they would sometimes replace it themselves. you had to ask yukari to heal you outside of a fight. they use their own items to heal, they'll take money from chests and just keep it. they'll get tired and ask if they can just sit this fight out and go home or sometimes they'll get sick or have something else going on and don't even want to dungeon crawl at all that night. you had to earn their trust to get better AI tactics and even then they don't do exactly what you want 100% of the time

this was all to help sell that you were actually this blue haired japanese kid that barely talks and the other party members were their own individuals, instead of you being a ghost that possesss the whole group and commands everyone magically. or the party being (you) and a bunch of his peons that follow his every whim

tldr: persona 3 was experimenting with being an actual self insert instead of a self insert in the fantasy everyone sucks your dick sense the later games went with. you can argue which is more enjoyable to play but it's certainly all deliberate

>fuse helel
>win
wow so hard
People complaining about Nyx should literally just fuck off back to P5 where the game plays itself.

>This isn't even half true.
No. It's very true. The only attacks your party *ever* need to use are their base elemental abilities when set to full Knock Down, full assault (at the beginning of the game) and your healer being on heal/support when needed. I covered all other bases in terms of buffs/debuffs and acting as a secondary healer when needed. There was never one point in the game I felt the AI was acting antithetical to my will aside from when they were set to Act Freely. Your complaint about Yukari is also strange. It's blatantly fucking obvious she prioritizes who's closest to death as opposed to healing everyone with a "media" variant. If you didn't realize that or knew how to work around it, that's on you. Not the AI.

Full party control is literally always better, there's no strategy if you're at the whims of shitty ai that play for you

I'd like to hear the opinion of someone who didn't solo the only boss in the game that didn't fall over to a breath of wind. Thanks.

>because the AI priorities people at critical health over the entire partys health
That doesn't really solve anything though. When the AI diarahan's instead of AOE healing, you have to go behind them thus wasting a turn. If she AOE heals there's a chance the others will live through the AOE attack meaning you won't have to waste a turn playing janitor. Other AI healing along with Yukari is the same scenario I mentioned above, it's wasted turns.
>did you give him an extremely high damage weapon from fusion? this is one i've never noticed
No I usually kept him equipped with the strongest katana from the police shop.
>literally can't happen if you set her to knock down. also ice break exists
Fair point.

What a load of shit.

Because they have fuck all to do with P3 having retarded combat design, they are actually evidence of why P3 having no party control is retarded, since Atlus stopped with this shit.

There's literally no reason why yu and joker are also silent protagonists besides "persona 3 did it and that's the game that put us on the map"

both these games need characters like yosuke and makoto who literally just exist to say shit that the main character SHOULD be saying if only he was allowed to have voice acting outside of combat

You can easily get to level 88 by just completing tartarus.

>instead of you being a ghost that possesss the whole group and commands everyone magically.
To be fair, you are the designated leader

>I'd like to hear the opinion of someone who didn't solo the only boss in the game that didn't fall over to a breath of wind. Thanks.
Literally no fucking argument. I was "recommended" level throughout the totality of the game prior to December. You're wrong and clearly have absolutely no idea how to use tactics.

This. The silent protagonist is such a fucking cheat when you just offload all the stuff they should be saying onto another character.
Nocturne did it best. Nobody spoke for you and in the end you made all the decisions. You have allies, but in the end they die and you gotta stand on your own two feet. It beats the hell out of having some fairy/obnoxious sidekick to speak on your behalf

>recommended level.
This is what I hate about you personafags. everything you fags say must about playing at some arbitrary level

there's no strategy in persona at all because it runs by a flowchart
>If they have a weakness cast it until you win
>If they don't cast the strongest attack I have that isn't wasting my resources
>Heal when someone is below 50% hp

and guess what? that's how the fucking AI teamates operate. the closest these games get to having actual strategy in battles beyond macro level "the upcoming boss uses fire, I should bring guys that resist fire" is some bosses will have a phase where you're encouraged to not attack for a while for whatever reason.

atlus also patched catherine to be even easier because they consistently underestimate how braindead their own fanbase is

It's not just Personafags. It's autists with nothing under their belt besides vidya "accomplishments" in general who need something to feel smug about.

this doesn't happen if you play on hard mode and/or are not especially high level because a combination of being tired and there actually being a lot of other stuff you could be doing in terms of the social parts of the game instead of leveling up preventing you from being a super high level, in that case trying to heal everyone a bit with media will just get the whole group fucking wiped

>tfw didn't realize Koromaru was albino until Ken pointed it out in PQ2

how does being the designated leader let me magically teleport yosuke a new pair of swords from my bedroom to his?

You're not getting my point. The game is so fucking easy until Nyx that everything before it masks the obviously flawed combat system. Since you didn't fight her properly, you won't understand.

Nyx is level 76. If you're like level 90 you're not fighting the same boss as someone level 70. When you can solo Nyx at level 90, your AI teammates can do fuck all because it doesn't matter at the end of the day because you don't have to rely on them.

He alive and thriving more than ever

just gonna throw out that I've beaten persona 3 multiple times and generally don't even hit 80 by the time I fight nyx and it still went fine. it's a deliberately difficult fight because the entire game is building up to it. the example in the OP image is absurdly easy to prevent even if you didn't expect it because yukari is slow as shit and so you should generally be able to act before her and cure the charm

nah dude. if i wanted to challenge i can just solo him with pixie or some shit. fighting the boss at the "recommended level" is autism.

Why the fuck are you using Koromaru?

Ah, so the flawed combat suddenly shows its true colors *only* at the final battle which I did not do "properly" (read: by playing like a retard and going in with the bare minimum stats for maximum frustration) - it is simply beyond my comprehension. Nice goalpost moving. This reads less like me not playing "properly" and you justifying your idiocy of going into the final battle halfassed and blaming the combat on your shortcomings.

Attached: 1546459805319.jpg (355x399, 29K)

arguing about being overleveled for nrx or not is a stupid point when FES added the arcade which lets you boost the shit out of your persona stats for a small fee every single night you aren't doing anything else - in a game where you run out of other stuff to do at night by september

I fought nyx with a persona that had multiple 99's for stats. all your character level does is effect HP/SP and what you can fuse, but it doesn't really matter when the stats are so large if you're using a slightly worse attack

Well personally, it's one of the reasons it's my favorite Persona game, I can definitely understand the frustration of it though. It's just that in a game about interpersonal relationships, having that degree of separation from the party did a lot for how I connected and felt about them. And it also fit into how door-kun affected them outside of combat, as he wasn't a direct driver or force to the other characters growth, but simply an influence; which I much prefer compared to a character's spiritual and gameplay growth being tied to a social link, leaving them stagnant and one-note in the main story.

It's the opposite of autism, really. I could have grinded tartarus just like that other user and been level 95 but I wanted to move onto other games so I fought Nyx with minimum grinding.

When Nyx uses two almighty attacks it left my party at around 30-40% health. A simple mediarahan would've been enough for the party but yukari used diarahan every single time thus making me go behind her to cast mediarahan.

>his reads less like me not playing "properly" and you justifying your idiocy of going into the final battle halfassed and blaming the combat on your shortcomings.
Ah yes, I too should have wasted two afternoons fighting the same boring tartarus monsters instead of asking for a combat system where I could easily beat it at level 70 had I could control my party.

I never understood how people got into this fight with stats like that. They give you so much time to lvl like a madman in Monad that it's almost as if that was intended.

Just emulate FES and if you end up not liking the combat, try the party control mod

It's not that bad, not that many enemies charm you, and once you've got a full party it's not too difficult.
Basically what says, have a variety of personas to cover weaknesses or do buff/debuffs, and save before bosses so if you fuck up and bring the wrong teammate, you can start over.

Man, those dancing games really are the bottom of the barrel in terms of quality, why would anyone buy that shit

That was my party too except I swapped Aigis with Aki sometimes.

It has a thematic purpose. The entire game is about trying to get your teammates to work together. Also just use party tactics it's not that hard lmao.

Fucking this.
When I first went against Nyx I was probably around lvl 70, only had Surt and Odin as my "OP" personas, and didn't have any plans to face Death.
Needless to say I got my ass whooped, but then I went back and cheesed Death, grinded all the way up to lvl 90, and went full fusion-autism to make an OP Helel.
Not only was it fun to make a bunch of other OP personas on the way, but it was also extremely satisfying to effortlessly pwn Nyx into it's final form and finish it up with Armageddon.
My only real complaint was not being able to choose which skills to inherit from fusion, my autism made me spent way too much time on everything I fused.

>it's almost as if that was intended
Because it was, and combined with there was no excuse to have a hard time against Nyx unless you rushed through the last two months doing absolutely nothing but skipping the story events and going to sleep.

>I purposefully handicap myself because the harder it is, the better it is
This is the dumbest mindset ever. Whats the point in playing RPGs if I can't over level and steam roll a boss? I get that some people will naturally just struggle with some fights, but if you have ever played a RPG before, and know the basics of how they work, why should I have to subjugate myself to tortuously grind on a boss's HP bar for half an hour?

Just skimmed the thread and the fat weebs defending P3 are pathetic. Yes, it was retarded you couldn't control your party when the AI is braindead. Just because you *can* prevent or do something in the game using external knowledge doesn't mean it's a sensible solution. Over-leveling for fights isn't fun or even particularly helpful sometimes if you don't already know what the fuck each Persona will do. It's like the Yukiko fight where it's clear Atlus expected you to capture a Slime and level it up to get some ability that helps. But how the fuck would you know to do that? Why would you level up the ugliest and weakest fucker in the game? Persona 3 has way more moments like that, it's not good design it's retarded. Then you add the goldfish AI on top of that and even when well-prepared, some fights just are doomed to go to shit because of RNG or your team not doing anything that makes sense based on context. Trying to excuse over-leveling as the solution to hurdles is like telling people looking for tech support to just reinstall the entire operating system every time sometimes goes wrong. Yeah it might fix it, but come the fuck on that's not an actual solution, and if no other real answer exists then it's dumb game design.

There's a reason why nobody gave two fucks about Persona until 4. Don't try to >imply me you know there wasn't a goddamn person who cared about 3 until they fixed it in the sequel.

The effect of indirect party control on the feel of P3 relative to the other games is mixed. I like how it makes every action the protagonist takes feel even more important, which is complimented by the structure of the battle theme, but setting up tactics and watching a suquence of animations also makes the gameplay loop kind of uneven and tedious. It's great when you're in the zone and at the peaks of a given playthrough, but it hurts playability the less interested you are in playing.

AI party members don't make the game more challenging they just make the whole experience more frustrating.

You click an option on screen. There's a very finite number of choices you can make in a fight. There's no skill, if anything running back and overleveling every time there's a boss fight is what unskilled retards would do. Guess what most of the excuses in this thread say to do? It's fun to use strategy in fights, grinding in lieu of strategy is what you should be trying to avoid.

Use tactics retard

>They give you so much time to lvl like a madman in Monad that it's almost as if that was intended.
This. 100%. The narrative continually pushing you to prepare yourself legitimately made me want to push them to the limits, as well as extend the game's longevity.

>I too should have wasted two afternoons fighting the same boring tartarus monsters.
Because unlike you, I had a set goal in mind besides "finish gaem nao" Judging from a post I wrote 8 years ago elsewhere, I was level 72 on Jan 1. My goal was to complete the game with Makoto's ultimate Persona, Messiah. Which I am glad I did, as it thematically fit the tone of the ending and it resonated with me all the more. It just so happened that Messiah was locked behind a level 90 cap: which led to my powerleveling in the Monad. Furthermore, I wished to complete the game with no regrets so that I would not have to achieve all of this in a 2nd playthrough when the game gave me ample to do so just before the end. Sorry grinding in a dungeon crawling game bores you. I bet you Youtube'd The Answer too.

So what's the drama this time?

That fixes nothing you know. Look read reviews of when Persona 3 was released, I know you all like waifu games but the actual gameplay of 3 isn't fun and anyone who isn't a 300 pound waifufag noticed.

>click
>on a PS2 game
dumb dumbposter

>Don't try to >imply me you know there wasn't a goddamn person who cared about 3 until they fixed it in the sequel.
the only reason persona 4 even fucking came out is because 3 was a massive hit (P3 still has more spinoffs and side material than 4 does).
persona 4 is so based on persona 3 large parts of that games code, including the entire soundtrack, are on every P4 disk.

sorry let me start over
>goblin slayer
lmfao

Bring back maken x you niggers

Durr select then.

Play a better game

>If it's fun it's because you're overweight
The absolute state of amerimutt logic

>ad hominem

dude who reads a manga where anime girls get raped calls people fat weebs lmaooooooooooooo

>being a lucklet
Miss me with that charm shit.

Yes it does.
>even when well-prepared, some fights just are doomed to go to shit because of RNG or your team not doing anything that makes sense based on context.
I only had Ai troubles in like 2 fights (from over 100 hours) and literally didn't know about the Marin Karin meme until I finished the game and start looking at P3-related stuff on the internet.
Just admit you're too retarded to manage your party through simple commands like everyone with a brain did.
Also, I'm beautiful IRL, fight me.
