Persona 3 is good (not better) because it had Aigis which in turn gave us Labrys

I could only manage to play a few hours of Persona 3 because none of the characters were likeable and the gameplay was way worse than Persona 4. I later watched the P3P LP though, and it seemed to be a lot better. But I don't know if that's because it just takes a while to get good, or if the FeMC just makes the story and characters way better.

I'm pretty sure there weren't any teenagers in the Digital Devil Saga games, but then again the characters seemed pretty borderline on that.

Persona? MORE LIKE BORESONA

e; persona's aight. Over time I realized their writing isn't the best. Social Links are mostly pretty silly and bad and Persona 4's ending/reveal is oof. I'm holding out Persona 5 will be good.

I'm hoping we get another weird looking guy who turns out to be a charismatic god who runs around with his hands in his pockets. Narukami's kinda cool but I felt that his design was kinda bland in order to make him more of a blank slate compared to Minato. Which is weird when Yu Narukami actually gets a canon name in a game. Point is I want a dork that everyone likes because reasons. Because that's funnier to me.

The part of Catherine that is the problem is not the puzzle half.

Also the multiplayer is better than the story mode, they should have done more with it.

Right it's the Catherine side of the story. gently caress that noise. At least in the Katherine side all the side characters get their arcs finished and are pretty great.

When you live in a miserable machine of a society the time of life that's the worst for every other first world country (high school) becomes your greatest, and therefore must be the focus of every story.

I don't mind Persona being set in high school. I think of it as the Buffy of video games. Teens kicking demon rear end after school and facing Big Serious Issues, that type of thing.

I'm probably the one weirdo who like P3 more than P4. Mainly because aside from visually, Tartarus sucks a hell of a lot less than the Midnight Channel dungeons. They're both slogs, but the Midnight Channel dungeons just feel like they take a lot longer, and feel a whole lot less fun to play. Also the change to how shadows spot you can gently caress right off.

Catherine's puzzle half is actually really elegantly designed and it's probably one of the best puzzle games of the last generation. I had a blast with it, sometimes I just fire it up and run the Babel levels for no real reason other than relaxing.

Establish a drat social link already and finish the level in co-op. Or just sink further into sadness and complete it yourself controlling both players. I'm not even ashamed to admit I did it that way.

Did they ever hint at a Catherine sequel? His cameo in P3P is non-canon because it only happens in FemC route, right?

Don't believe they ever did and it wouldn't really matter if Vincent's cameo in P3P is non-canon because IIRC I think that existed to tease the game before it came out, not tease a sequel after the fact.

There was never an allusion to a sequel and it's non-canon because Persona and Catherine don't share the same universe.

I've never seen it myself (played P3P all of one time through), but I have seen screenshots and videos of the cameo on the guy path.

P3 and 4 have nothing to do with the older games and never will. There will never be any kind of direct tie between P1/2 and P3/4, the most you'll ever get is the butterfly save point and Igor. Well, maybe not Igor anymore either. :v: They don't even work the same way.

Okay yeah, the reason Igor's voice is different is because they didn't get Woren in the game at all. Maybe it was a scheduling conflict or something, but when Ikutsuki shows up he's voiced by Dojima's voice actor and they probably recorded new files for Igor unlike the JP version which reused sound files again. God, the loving voice acting of this game is a mess.

Yeah, I've always maintained that the TV stuff in P3 that referenced P2 is nothing but an Easter egg. Feeling smug now.
