>hurr durr i knew who the traitor was the whole time so obvious
Real talk, no. None of you did. The game made no fucking allusions to who was or wasn't a traitor.
Why is she so perfect?
Pervert...aren't you like 30 years old?
video games in general are so much longer than movies so it can be pretty tough to pick up on one ambiguous clue that's totally pointless, especially considering it's not uncommon to find minor contradictions in a video game script

>Persona 3 predicted art hoes decades before art hoes
Persona is shit
Every time
They're just mad because their series is so dead it can't even maintain a three, they need somewhere to cope user. SMT and Persona fags need to stick together on this Wild West board
My favorite Persona game is 3 and my favorite SMT game is Nocturne, with very honorable mentions to Apocalypse.
ok
I hope SMTfags and Personafags became an unified fandom and stopped the autismo wars once for all
SMTFags should realize that Persona is way easier and more mainstream to attract a wider audience and thanks to Persona, Megaten is getting much more attention than ever before
And Personafags should realize that their beloved franchise is rooted in traditional Megatens so attacking SMTFags would be like insulting their own parents and accepting that Persona does not reach the difficulty and narrative standards of the core series but that isn't inherently bad
>SMT
>narrative
lol
How's SMTV coming along
Thanks for listening.
any day
Lads, tell me the truth: everyone on the dorm keeps saying there's only one shadow left but, not counting The Answer, is that really it?
Full Moon Shadows? No. Arcana Hanged Man is a prelude to the strongest one. The original one, even.
You get complete control of everything until December 31st then the ending starts.
Shit I meant January 27th
There are 264 floors
Ulala's arc in EP was the most sobering bro arc in these games.
I can’t believe Junpei is fucking dead.
Well duh, random throwaway P2 NPCs had more personality than most of the main cast members in the other Persona games.
The last segment is fun because after being gated the entire way though the story, the game says "Yeah go ahead and race to the top as fast as you can, only thing stopping you is the final boss gate and the guardians every so often".
So instead of doing like 20 floors for the month, you get to do like 60.
That doesn't sound fun at all.
Then go back to P4 or just watch anime you brainlet.
Persona 3 fan here, I completely agree.
It's a blast because you can take it exactly like normal, just speed through the floors the moment you find the stairs. Also, every time you clear a guardian your Judgement Arcana will level up. Once you reach the zenith it maxes out and you can fuse Messiah.
fan that doesnt think the game is fun btw
I'm on floor 214 and just got past Christmas spent it with Fuuka, when we going up?
Game ends around 27th of January.
Make sure you max out your social link with Aigis.
She's under maintenance, my dude.
December 31st is when you have to make your decision, and when the last segment of the tower opens up.
Provided you actually made the correct decision.
I know the story, I've been in Yea Forums for like 11 years now so spoilers are unavoidable. I just felt like getting into the game by myself.
Yeah you get very limited time to do it, take every opportunity you get to social link with her, make sure you take a persona of her arcana with you so you bond faster.
Redpill me on the Persona series. I tried and finished 3 because people said it's the best in the series but all I got was a run of the mill JRPG but the difference is the waifoo mechanic. Given the 'best' in the series failed to draw me into the franchise, should I expect any more from the sequels?
You sound like a retard.
You wouldn't like the others, they have even more one-dimensional characters and the battle system isn't improved too much.
Play Strange Journey.
Objectively speaking, Tartarus fucking sucks and is a slog. I just like grinding.
Well then yeah. Once SEES is fully reunited the last segments of the tower will open up, but if you want to powergrind to level 99, then you should take Elizabeth's request to kill the Reaper, which unlocks the Monad Depths from the ground floor, the most difficult area of the game.
but not redux, they managed to make it more casual than persona
Tartarus is great and most peoples complaint about it is that it's grindy, so I don't understand where you are coming from.
Not that user but Tartarus as a dungeon sucks. Barely any treasure, boring environments, no traps, no special areas, nothing of nothing.
>Tartarus is great
user, Tartarus is the worst part of P3.
I'VE NEVER FELT LIKE
Different user here (the one on pre hanged man), how long until Aigis is "linkable"?
you sound lovely user
Her social link opens January 8th, and is available on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and every day after January 25th, after school.
I like the atmosphere and the feeling of progression as you climb higher and higher and the first time you play it feels mysterious because you always wonder how tall the tower goes and what will ultimately be at the top. The small pointless personality dungeons of Persona 4 and 5 are just cringe and you can get through them in about 15 minutes each before you hit the wall of an overleveled boss which forces you to grind on the 9th floor until you hit a decent level. Tartarus is much better designed.
Let's settle this once and for all
P3P or P3F?
FES
What's to settle? FES is better.
90% of anons here prefer FES from what I've always seen. A lot of P3P additions are shit and make the game too easy or cringe. Also the VN style is a major downgrade and having no cutscenes is scandalous.
Also Hanged Man is a bitch, the actual only difficult Full Moon Shadow.
>Lovers and that one Roulette boss gave me trouble
I'm scared
You had trouble with Fortune? Really? I made that punk kill himself with his own roulette wheel. Here's a hint for Hanged Man: Bring a Persona resistant or immune to Strike attacks.
Joke's on you, I just scroll in gallery mode looking for hot juicy memes to repost.

based yukari
are there more of these, i love them
Remember the time where Yukari almost got everyone killed when she actively taunted a gang of armed thugs with zero regard to anyone's well-being?
I hope you had a great time
According to the timeline, Yukari will turn 27 next month.
>Played P3 for the first time this year, think that the years are off as normal
>Tfw realize that they aren't and I'm actually the same age as Mitsuru and Akihiko, in their graduating year
How weird.
God i want to marry cake Yukari
she is a woman, after all
Sure did. I'll go ahead and derail myself telling you the background. I didn't want to max Fuuka because I had a relationship with a girl like that and it ended really badly because people like that are not mentally healthy and I know how unrealistic it is. But you know what? That's the good part of 2D.
>confirmed never went outside in the mid 00s
They were everywhere. The emo girls had grown up enough to not be skinny cumdumps but were still screaming for attention. So. That's what we got. Art hoes
>decades before female hipsters
that'd be quite a prediction, if you made it in the old testament or some shit
That's just gothic lolita user.
I never undertand people not wanting to choose romance options because they remind them of IRL people.
Fuuka isn't that girl you had a relationship, she's Fuuka, and whatever problems you had with the other person, Fuuka doesn't have them.
Painful memories can be dredged up by similar sources
her confused/irritated face makes me thing of Dr. Seuss drawings
I knew it! Fuuka was a Who all along!
That's just what happens when you've had too many bad times in your life. Even escapism gets difficult sometimes.
P3F except skip the answer
Do NOT skip the Answer
It provides important closure for everyone, especially the player
Anyone else give himself a real Japanese name?
I see.
Well, I'm glad you still enjoyed that time with Fuuka, at least.
It should be played once just to understand the door situation more clearly then you should forget everything else because its all filler shit to lead up to the door explanation. Always skip the answer after you understand what P3 Protag does that's all its good for. Basically if P3 ends and you dont understand what exactly happens to MC thats when you play answer.
I took the meaning of my name and translated it to japanese
>because its all filler shit
What the fuck is "filler shit" to you even? It explores the characters' original reasons for fighting, their (mis)handling of the current situation, and how they want to proceed once they understand what's going on. The Answer is the epilogue to the Journey. Just skipping to the end doesn't help anyone there to be able to accept what happened at the end.
>Skipping to the end doesn't bla bla
Nobody cares, there was absolutely no need to show us any of the character reactions to MCs death, the ending of the game was perfect already. The Answer just fucks up the ending completely and ruins a couple of characters, also its dumb as fuck, 'lets all fight each other lol', 'I loved MC so I don't care if everyone else dies' etc, characters were just flanderized.
>imagine being the kind of person who thinks that yukari potentially destroying the world just to get her bf back isn't the hottest fucking thing
What do Fuuka's genitals smell like?
It's so out of character for yukari that it's retarded, also it was never at any point implied that she had any more feelings for the MC than anyone else. And is doubly dumb if you only got her SL to rank 1 and loved Fuuka the full game, she just comes across as a creep. But above all else Yukari is too cool to be that desperate and needy.
Didn't she stay with MC when he was in a coma for a week at the start? That's a lot of time to spend hanging around in the hospital for anyone, especially not a blood relative.
She explicitly tells you when you wake up that she didn't want to leave because if you died she would have felt responsible. She felt guilty for not immediately telling you about the dangers of the midnight hour and the Iwatodai Dorm you were staying in. Ikutski made her lie to you basically, it wasn't a sign of sexual interest she had only knew you for 2 days before you went unconscious at that point.
Sure there was, I wanted to see how they reacted, because I was left in the same situation towards the end and wanted closure too.
>and ruins a couple of characters
It really doesn't. Yukari's inability to move on and pretending things are okay is brought to light, and Aigis's inability to move on caused her to reject her humanity and give rise to her shadow self, Metis. Even Mitsuru, who sided with Yukari, is shown to be incredibly sympathetic to her because Yukari kept her from committing suicide back in the Journey, and so wants to keep Yukari from feeling the same way, alone and lost without anyone to turn to.
>also its dumb as fuck, 'lets all fight each other lol'
There was no other way to settle their differences. They couldn't come to an agreement, Aigis, their leader, did not help them as she was lost herself, and they were running out of time. For such an important decision it either had to be made unanimous or through domination of wills.
>also it was never at any point implied that she had any more feelings for the MC than anyone else.
Were you not paying attention to why her social link opens after Yakushima, and why when Aigis speaks up in class about you Yukari gets flustered and opposes her? Her social link is all about slowly getting her to lower her guard around you and accept trusting you, and trusting the feelings that she has for you that she was terrified of.
P3 FES
Don't skip the Answer
Watch a walkthrough of it, but don't skip
She never had any more feelings for MC than anyone else, if you max out any of the female social links they all love you like that. Also the situation where they 'couldnt settle their differences was stupid and just manufactured by Atlus to make them fight for no reason, as I said before it makes no sense for Yukari to have the stance she does. Nobody likes the answer.
>watch a walkthrough
just watch the video on youtube that combines the important bits of events
skipping it also isnt bad since the answer is pretty shit and almost completely destroys the last bit of respect anyone has for yukari
There were Persona games before 3 too
Yeah but they're fucking shit
>tfw if da man gets added to blazblue they'll likely replace his VA
>arrogantly announce you've been plebfiltered
Why would they? They used the same VA in PQ in 2014. He still sounded like Junpei, just a little different.
Filters out people who want to play a good game that's for sure. The characters, music, art style, setting and story are good. The gameplay is complete fucking trash and even the fans just set 90% of it to auto battle and play with speed hacks.
>he doesnt know
look up vic, retards trying to me too him for shit he didnt do, yukiko va among them because shes a psycho bitch
It's up in the air but with the way his fans reacted to everything, future projects will probably think twice about booting mcNuggets.
I had absolutely no fucking idea that Vic voiced Junpei, my night has just been ruined
why, it's not like Vic did anything wrong
Because I already felt bad for him and now I know he voiced my favourite video game character of all time and his life is in tatters.
Well shit, no wonder i thought Jumpei's voice in P3D felt off.
did they change it already?
Nope
no, its just unclear if he will come back is all
I fuckin hope he comes back.
speakin of Vic. youtube.com
It was so obvious dude. I realized like, the chapter before the last one.
It's not supposed to be fun you stupid faggot little cocksucker.
I hope he doesn't just because I can't stand his shitty ass fanbase
So much of Junpeis charm comes from his voice though. He is hated in Japan and loved in the west.
Seriously guus, skip the answer. It's literally just runninng through the fucking dungeons again, provides little to no closure whatsoever. It's terrible and a grind and painful.
It's lile playing the entire game again without the plot events and sidequests and social links.
Nope
Finishing it up now and it's been cathartic in all the worst ways, but completely necessary. Watching my Personas all level up super quick was entertaining too, and the battles actually require more strategy now that you can't spam Somas 24/7.
>Playing a japanese game dubbed
Who cares faggot, fuck Vic and I hope his supporters threaten more law officials so they can get shot defending him some more
>Yukari and Mitsuru both know Megidolaon
What the FUCK
I don't care about Vic but I still want Junpei to have the same voice for the benefit of a potential remake.
This is like fighting the Reaper
I shouldn't have casted Makarakarn
>spam somas
How the fuck do you end up with a few somas throughout the full game without grinding for hours and hours?
That has nothing to do with Vic. The west loves retarded male characters for some reason. Ryuji is last in all the popoularity polls yet people here can't stop sucking his dick. Same with Kanji
Not him, but I fucked up my first run of Persona 3 and missed a ton of social links, and was overleveled, so I spent the last month going to the shrine turning gravy into soma. Had 26 or so for the final fight.
One is running off love power and the other is running off loyalty
It's bullshit
In the west Ryuji is the favourite character. People like bros. And I didn't say it was because of Vic, I'm saying people liked Junpei as he was presented and it would be a mistake to change his voice now
Looks like if I go for damage immunity they just endlessly spam Megidolaon with no respite, so I'm gonna try something else instead. I spent all yesterday searching for Personas to fuse one with both Tetrakarn and Makarakarn too specifically for this battle, goddamn it.
How hard is Maniax difficulty?
>Mitsuru knows Vorpal Blade
>YUKARI KNOWS PRIMAL FORCE
BITCHES
I prefer Persona 4 Golden
Not even as good as vanilla P4
Gross.
I played 4 before 3, so it was obvious the awkward comic relief dude was the traitor since all the other character archetypes were there.
>Defeat Yukari
>Tank a boosted Mabufudyne
>Switch off Raphael like a dumbass to Cybele and throw a Balm of Life at Metis
>Mitsuru casts Mabufudyne again
>Kills me
>Reload the game
>Accidentally dismiss Cybele trying to equip her
It's gonna be one of those days.
I really want a p3 remake but I know they'll just fuck up the story by adding a marie and new endings.
Golden has the worst battle theme while vanilla has the best
I honestly don’t need a p3 remake I’m content with the game
Junpei is a good bud
Yep and FeMC isn't canon.
If they remake it they could just make her another SEES member instead of an alternative protagonist
she's from an alt universe
I wouldn't mind this too much if it kept everyone happy but i do still think it would drag down the game a little, they could base her personality on her best ingame dialogue options.
Philemon the best
PQ2 showed she's from an alternate universe.
I don't have much Junpei to post
I'm not the biggest fan of Femc, but canonfags are fucking retarded. Who cares about that, you can literally make anything canon or non-canon if the author feels like it one day
In the grand scale of megami tensei it’s already been confirmed that alternative universes existed through various smt games(which persona is connected to in some way) so canon fags are fucking retarded who can’t even back it up
If they made her canon how would they explain her absence in arena and dancing moonlight?
Well she's gutsy enough to defy the school outright and block the teachers from the P.A room to let Sasori defend herself against the accusations that she's a whore and try and fight 3 dudes harassing Yukari as well as try and beat up Kenji in public to the point Yukari had to tell Junpei to get rid of the guy immediately before she murdered him.
I just think emo jesus is cooler, sorry
Thank you user
So Kawakami style cake huh. Hell yeah.
WHY THE HELL COULDN'T THEY MAKE THE GAME LOOK LIKE THAT
FIRST PERSON RPG FUCKING FUUUUUUU
Too expensive and too time consuming
Because they already had a battle system that people enjoyed for the 3DS with Strange Journey and EO.
me top right
I WANT TO BREED TORIUMI AND MAKE HER A MOM!
>Beat Yukari
>Use a Magic Mirror to force Mitsuru to spam Megidolaon instead of any other bullshit that can get me instakilled
>Metis can outdamage Mitsuru
Only that big dumb devil dog is left now.
wait the story is really that different as FeMC?
Yes. She's not a carbon copy of her brother and has a different personality, a lot of the social links were switched around and some characters introduced to replace old ones, and you can see alternate sides to certain events, like the hot springs.
Sucks they didn't add any of the new characters, songs and extra scenes to the regular MC story
Some things were changed anyway for the male MC. In a NG+ regardless of which sibling you chose to condemn to the moon you can pick any SEES members you're in a relationship with to take Aigis's place in your final moments, and the rank 10 social links are voice acted now.
Oh also some stuff was added. Yukiko and Vincent have cameos now, but I don't know if Yukiko is in the male route.
>brother
They're entirely different people from different families. You could assume she's still alive in P3MC's universe, while P3MC is alive in her universe.
replacing Aegis and messing with the ending sounds like aids
>tfw went to save this imagine thinking she was holding her helmet
Fine.
image, fuck
BASED AS FUCK
To me femc is just mc's sister in a timeline where mc dies instead. I think this is the reason why only p3 has an alternate gender mc pick.
Is this how FeMC copers cope with her non existence?
I double checked, Yukiko only appears in the female route, where the Volleyball/Tennis team travel to Yasionaba High for a joint competition and the girls spend a day at Amagi Inn, meeting a middle school-aged Yukiko.
Unless otherwise specified, since they have the exact same backstory I'm treating them as brother and sister. In my opinion whoever you don't play as either died along with your parents or vanished to a parallel world because of Death's power.
All that happens is Aigis still embraces you, then you hear the voices of your friends. Whoever's voice you choose to hear the most clearly will arrive first, then Aigis backs off to let them cradle you for your final moments instead. It's still not canon but it's nice. Even Shinji will do it in the female route if you saved him, with him waking from his coma and rushing to Gekkoukan just in time for you.
thanks bro.
Just wait for Yukari to reach her age, they look almost the same.
more like junpei ace defective
I don't care about canon in a series with a multiverse and multiple branching timelines. Also I don't really care about femc.
wait fuck no i said that wrong
the right way: more like stupei ace defective
based
>multiple branching timelines
u wot
I'm not talking about spin off dancing and etrian odyessy crossover trash games. the main games don't have alternate timelines FeMC isn't canon.
Metis and FeMC are the Marie of Persona 3
That's the Fuuka face that looks like a Dr. Seuss character! Surely someone else sees it too.
based
Bro the Persona games themselves are a branch of a split timeline.
yeah she's kinda cross eyed
FeMC maybe, but Metis is just Shadow Aigis. She's only born when the MC dies and Aigis rejects her humanity, and returns to Aigis at the end once Aigis accepts her.
You realize there was a parallel timeline with P2, right?
You realise that Persona started with P3 right?
Persona 1 and 2 were just an online game in the universe of Persona 3 onwards
Call him Stupei again bitch, come catch these hands
That was changed in the English version. It was originally Megami Tensei 2.
>he doesn't know
secondaries like you need to stop posting
Well technically she is, but from an alternate reality, established in pq2. Which leads me to believe that will be the theme for p6
Fuck off. Both of you.
Only because someone was a fucking moron and couldn't fucking let go. That timeline is still fucked, actually isn't it considered an alt universe that only Tatsuya jumped from?
>Can't DPS check Primal Darkness
Back to fuckin grinding I guess
So do you play Persona and the other megaten games or just Persona? I play them all because megaten is one of my top 2 favorite franchises along with Fire Emblem.
Only Persona. I like the whole "just barely removed from reality" aspect.
More like what was this joke even like in japanese anyway
Other VAs have been shitting on himmfor a while. Hell, Ghost Stories has 2 nonconsecutive segments of dissing on him, probably because he fucked someone's wife.
Budget reasons. Most of the illustrations come from sega saturn days.
I play them all but at this point I've enjoyed more mainline SMT games than Persona. P2 and P3 were good but I didn't really like 4 and 5 was a disappointment after the long wait. Meanwhile DDS 1+2, Nocturne, SJ, IV, and IV:A were all good.
I enjoy the other branches more for the same reason I don't like Three Houses as much as other FE games. The life sim aspect kinda gets old after awhile and I'm just waiting to get back into a dungeon.
Persona, Raidou, and Devil Survivor
the only SMT games that matter
P3P since it adds the Female route and deletes The Answer. Faggots will say that it's bad because it turned the glorified VN segment into an actual VN segment, but ignore them.
You are gay.
Baby Baby Baby
Pretty sure FeMC's hatred of Kenji comes from a Drama CD.
I play them all.
I prefer mainline but I really enjoy the time management aspect of persona, its a very unique and fun system.
I will always remember Hiroshi Nagasaki
Not really. Marie's importance is massively inflated in both the game and the anime, Marie is crudely inserted into the main story for no good reason and she ruins the aesthetics of the Velvet Room. FeMC is just a different way to play the game.
>physical immunity/absorb
nothing personal
not as bad as threaten everyone to go back in time and trying to save the MC when she knows they cant win.
She doesn't go back in time even if she wins. If Yukari and Mitsuru defeats Aigis, Mitsuru asks Yukari if she'll take Aigis's key, and Yukari just walks away instead. She just wanted to vent, to rage, and mourn in the only way her guarded heart can without breaking. And afterwards she thanks Aigis for defeating her, saying that she was too upset to think straight and would've made new regrets if she did end up doing as she originally wanted to.
Deep down, Yukari just wanted to cry.
So missile le boy
He does some stupid shit with Rio too that makes FeMC try to beat him up.
Anyone who acts that friendly and aloof but has seemingly no plot importance is almost guaranteed to betray you at some point.
I didn't know what he would do, but I 100% didn't trust him.
Boldly accept
Worst girl in the series
Not even in the same light year
You mean best, worst is naoto the boy
BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY
What the fuck, you can turn the rancid gravy into somas? Never knew that one
probably some p3p shit
I emulated p3p and played it through twice but i never came across this so I'm quite surprised
Its almost as if people in the west dont have a fucking dick up their ass and can apreciate the good intentioned bro that always has your back unlike the Bugs who want a effeminate gay fuckboi like whatsisname kunai wielder.
Ryuji and Junpei are the kind of guys you want as pals, not because they can solve all your issues but because they are the kinda good people you should surround yourself with to be happy. A game of footie, a nice dinner out with the lads, good talks and a lotta respect is what they offer, so no fucking wonder the Japs hate em and we love em, they are the definition of the Bro.
>undubfags
I feel like this image's situation will end badly.
Do you know what a fucking trope is?
