Persona

Thoughts on these game’s (pretty much only 5) current normie infestation, I know 5 was fairly popular in 2017 but so many people are just now going on about it. it’s pretty much my favourite franchise and people coming in and not shutting the fuck up about it puts a bit of a damper on it for me.

I feel the same way, user. The sad part is Persona 5 wasn't even that great, the other games are way better

"Normie infestation"
WAAAA people like things I like! I'm not specul neemore.

Grow up diaper baby.

>Diaper baby

Got any better comebacks than that? You sound like a 5 year old

This is how SMT autists felt when Persona 3 came out and proceeded to put a cute slice of life anime spin on their beloved franchise, even going so far as to ruin remakes of Revelations: Persona and Persona 2 by removing the moody soundtrack with something more upbeat like P4.

Y'all had the same complaint about P4 back in the day, I think you'll survive.

3 was an infestation of the type of faggots that played final fantasy and watched Haruhi and found something EDGY AND DEEP, but still had a niche factor and darker tones found in other SMTs. 4 went full harem anime retardism but much as I like it it really opened some floodgates and along with the spinoffs built the reputation of Persona up alot for the anticipation and reaction of 5 to ever happen. 5 has its place but its been a long time getting to that level of popularity 3 and 4 had its roles in that. All good games, INSERT 3 WAS FIRST MEME, FINAL FANTASY STARTED AT 7.

1>5>2>3=4
I just can't get into the newer games. They're painfully standard JRPGs, though I do appreciate 5 for bringing back level design and giving a point to the social links other than just Persona XP and arcana ultimates.

meme magic
even the Nintendies who don't get to play the games on their console won't shup up about it

That’s exactly what I mean

The perfect game for me would be Persona 2 but with completely overhauled combat and dungeon design. Same with 1, though I prefer 2's characters. The PSP remakes were such wasted potential. I'd say Atlus should try again but they might turn into Persona 3/4/5 reskins.

I just got an copy of Persona 4 off the PlayStation store what am I'm in for

Fuck off hipster

I agree, although I haven’t played the PSP remake of 2 if they remade them now they’d only pander and potentially ruin them

But now you can force Jun's mouth open lean in for the kiss and while his eyes are closed and mouth open for a french kiss you choose the option to make motorcycle noises in his mouth.

A bunch of high schoolers spending an entire year doing nothing other than getting together to watch TV

>preferring 3 and 4 is hipster now

Anyone can like it I’ve just noticed an influx of people that won’t shut up about it 2 years after the last game came out

I just hope the Persona newfaggotry doesn't infect SMT

I haven't played the PS1 versions but from my understanding most of the changes were slight tweaks. The most noticeable differences are the changed (butchered) OST in P1 and the changed art in P2.

No, it just killed it instead.

A good time

But Persona 2 didn't get it's music drastically changed like Persona PSP did and Persona 1 isn't actually that far off Persona 3's style in the actual story segments to begin with.

Judging solely by the SMT V teasers it doesn't seem that way, though we'll see. Obviously Apocalypse was a lot more friendship focused but that might have been a one-off thing.

SMT V dead bruh.

Yeah no one seems to care about it which is upsetting, plus they making that cheese off of P5R

They should have kept the name "Final" from the japanese version instead of changing it to Apocalypse, just to fuck with SMT faggots.

I think more hype will generate once we see some actual tangible content, all we've seen was a flash of demon renders and some school girl getting dragged into a vortex

I like to think that rumors of the Dark Hour and Midnight Channel made them real, and people spreading rumors of the Phantom Thieves was a twist of sorts as they were making their own rumor.

Jesus Joker get some sun

I hope they take a page out of SJR and not make law and chaos meme options anymore

Can't get sun in JAPANESE prison.

I love Fuuka!

Law and Chaos are only "meme options" if you're overly idealistic about humanity.

Chaos is peak idealism, giving humanity complete freedom and expecting shit to just work out is retarded.
Law on the other hand is pessimism at its highest form

Chaos is also total pessimism by implying that weak human beings screw everything up for everyone else and deserve to be preyed upon and killed by the strong as a result

fair enough, but chaosfags likely to paint it a little more idyllic picture.
Lawfags at least have the common sense to realize humanity deserves to get its shit slapped when it gets out of line

Me too!

>3 had best story
>4 had best character/chemistry
>5 best gameplay & mechanics

I'd give best story to 2 or at least scenario, but for games people say exists that's about right.

I made an ex dress up as Naoto for my fetish over that character, only because I can't be Naoto.

>whitewashing a black character

da fuck, why would you do this?

He was only black in the us translation of the original for some reason

Fuuka's appeal is that she's Fuuka!
A beautiful girl with a heart of gold and brilliant mind!

You have good taste user. Naoto, and tomboys in general, are always great. i want to stick my face into chies spat after her sparring session

Also Fuuka's hair is cute! CUTE!

I have a mega folder full of Fuuka art if you're interested!

No fan translation then? I've already played the psone version and thought I'd give it a go and check out the Tatsuya scenario. Really like the official P2 art, there's a depressing charm to them.

Can you discard personas in the velvet room yet?
Can you see which personas you already have in your compendium from the fusion menu?
Can you do a reverse search on personas in your compendium to figure out how to remake it using other personas you own? They're useless even as fusion material when they have at a maximum 2 moves when you find them in a dungeon.
I really like collecting personas, but they really discourage having more than a handful of persona that matter. You can't even max the compendium without doing NG+ mode since like pokemon the story basically ends at the midrange of levels and anything further is just retreading dungeons to grind levels.
I ran out of money at the end of P3 after hoarding well over 1M yen making 4 of the max social link fusions.
I ran out of money regularly in P4 making fusions. Never even bought anything but personas from the compendium and the Tanaka weekly offer.

I already heard in P2 you wouldn't even bother fusing what wasn't already given to you, so I hope that P5 and future Persona games can address some of these serious QoL issues.

I’ve never seen or heard of a fan translation but you could research it.

Where did that other guy's comment go? Did he get banned or something?

And yeah, the art for P2 is amazing, grungy and dark. It's some of the best in the series.

Thank you I'll be here whole week.

He didn't get the heart item from Thor to make half your party have no weaknesses.
He didn't put her on heal/support.
He actually used a basic fucking attack with a bow.

Cool mechanic wasn't read up on. Know what that purple eye in Persona 4 was about?

Persona was basically rebooted with Persona 3. That's where the entire shift to social links and pretending you're in highschool again happened.

I don't need a social link game about being an adult or something I just want a persona that isn't so focused on the high school aspects about high school and instead focus on plot so I can have Jojo Ventures with MODERN EDGE

Persona 5 was so bad it killed the franchise for me. I'm a but hopeful now that Hashino is no longer working on them, but expect Re;Fantasy to be dire. His writing is absolutely terrible and will ruin every subsequent game he makes.

The fan translation should come out next year or maybe late this year
the last update we got on it was in April

I disagree on p5 being bad but I’m curious to see what’s gonna come after 5r if anything, hopefully not more spin offs because the only thing that’s kept it from being milked is persona q 2

>thor is level 53
>Final boss is level 70
It's not worth hauling her ass around for 2/3rd of the game for healing when
>cadenza is available from the start
>she is entirely SP dependant when the others can manage fine on low SP
>is an unlikable cunt in general and you benefit more from removing her from the party than letting her leech XP

Never found out, I always assumed it was due to me doing Yosuke's s.link quickly. I never saw it on anyone else's persona

Persona is dead to me
Cautiously optimistic for Re:Fantasy

SP was never an issue in boss battles when you just walk right to each level guardian without any other encounters.
Full moon bosses guaranteed full hp & sp at the battle start.
She had a much higher SP pool, so Aegis would always be more starved for SP using her party buffing spells than Yukari would be spamming Garudyne and the occasional diarahan (never was able to get her to use mediarahan or recarm spells despite her knowing both).
She's hot so she is worth keeping around, much like Mitsuru. Toy bow + that skimpy red bikini was a staple of Tartarus, though the black one on Mitsuru was much more lewd like some dominatrix getup.
Let's be real though. The male alternatives were pitiful. Junpei was useless 90% of the game. Akihiko is a bro, but has similar problems as Aegis using up his small sp pool too fast. He also had the same damage types I happened to be using, unlike garu which is basically for party members only. Think Titania was the only persona I ever made with garu skills (and a Thor who hilariously had a skill change from maziodyne to magarudyne); just not a good element.
Ken is a little shit far worse than Yukari at her lowest and doesn't even have useful moves.
Shinjiro was cool he basically carried me through the one boss fight he was around, but RIP.
Koromaru was cute, but fire was not so useful and he really had no support skills to speak of.
The best squad was Yukari (strong heals, revive if you have that tactics rng), Aegis (party buffs are so OP the enemy wastes half his turns removing them.), and Mitsuru (because who else are you going to take?).

I've been waiting for this

Using tactics isn't that hard people

Which is fine if you don't plan on using Mitsuru for direct damage, the way she's stat weighted. Sadly there's no tactic that says "use direct damage instead of spamming your one shitty spell that never works" if you do.

Isn't that what full assault was supposed to do?

3 is my favorite but I enjoyed 4 and 5 as well.

2>3>5>1>4

P2 and P5 are my overall favorites, so I don't mind the attention that the latter is receiving. It can't be worse than eight years of P4 for me.

2's PSP remake is pretty good. Only censorship is removing the swastika (for the iron cross instead) and giving The Fuhrer sunglasses and a trenchcoat. Dub is whatever, but you can select between the remixed tracks or the original music pretty easily. The battle system also saw a few small quality of life updates, but still stays true to the original.
