I haven't played P3 yet, but intend to. If I play this first am I going to spoil anything for myself?

The plots to P3 and P4 hardly bleed into PQ. Maybe you can infer a few things based on certain things in this game, but I don't think you're really gonna jump to correct conclusions, if you jump to anything at all. Going into more detail on what those things are might be giving too much information.

I've already finished P4G a bunch of times (and am playing it again, of course), so I'm not worried about spoilers from that end. It's good to know that I won't be spoiling a first P3 play through though, so thank you.

Ken and Shinji in particular. It completely spoils a lot of people's character arcs straight up. Just play P3 first, it's a better game anyway.

Yeah, dont be in a rush to play this game. If you like Persona, play Persona. If you like EO/dungeon crawlers, play EO. This game is neat for people who've played P3 and P4, but its nothing special.

You won't spoil much at all, but you might not appreciate it nearly as much because PQ assumes you are familiar with both games and their characters beforehand, so a lot of jokes and references might be lost on you.

I love the EO games and Persona but this game is boring to me. It's taken me three weeks to get through the second stratum due to disinterest. For an EO fan, does it pick up?

The third labyrinth is the best one, the fourth is the worst. The fifth is really simple and also the last, there's no post game dungeon. After the third labyrinth you don't even have to pretend like puzzles matter since nearly all of them involve running from FOEs and they're not particularly challenging. Though there's a lot of that in the third as well and you can still just kill the FOEs because  . You can run through most of the game on autopilot once you set up a character or two with status effects and have someone with Impure Reach and Mahamaon/Mamudoon.

At first the whole drawing the map thing seemed absurdly tedious and stupid but now I'm like "OMG another loving battle I'm trying to draw the map wtf HAMAON" After only playing P3 previously, it's so refreshing being able to control everyone in the party during combat. I never beat P3 because when Akihiko's AI would conclude that ENEMY STRONG VS LIGHTNING THEREFORE I CAN DO NOTHING then Akihiko would dance in place on his turn and go "Waiting is part of my strategy!" I would get so filled with ennui that I had to go do something else. Third dungeon is a bitch. Puzzles are harder and the enemies are really annoying...Bestial Roar and elemental debuffs loving hell

If you ever decide to pick up P3 again, you should play the PSP version. You can control your team.

It also has the female protagonist, which has a lot of the best s-links in the game. There are links for the male party members! Ken's sucks, but Junpei and Shinji make up for it. Koromaru s-link is cute as well.

Ken's actually fairly decent and gives him some needed characterisation, if you can resist pushing on the Pedo Button. Please don't push on the Pedo Button.

I just started playing and i am getting my rear end kicked in on normal mode on floor 3. Burning Beetles keep showing up one shotting a party member with their two attacks, or two of those stupid red/blue crosses both cast mabufu the same turn causing my entire party to wipe. I am using: Front Row: P4MC/Kanji/Chie Back Row: Naoto/Yukiko Anyone have any good suggestions?

panic. the answer is always panic. it shouldn't be too hard to find a persona with tentarafoo or panic circle, so get one and give it to naoto since she's pretty much the best ailment caster. panicked enemies can't use skills and have a chance of hitting themselves. and for some reason if an enemy who would normally get two actions per turn (like the burning beetles) hits itself on the first action, it won't perform a second. and the scales are probably weak to either light or dark, so that's another option. there's also strength and magic binds, but i forget whether those are easily available in the early game.

I think my impure reached Naoto hit with tentarafoo like five times total through the entire game so your mileage may vary.

Pretty much Tentarafoo/Stun Circle/Panic Circle/Scarecrow barely if ever actually seem to hit. Is there really no way to see the stats of an fused persona from the fusing menu?

Ken is actually the best status caster due to his status of highest Luck in the game, but he's not used as often because: 1. He's Ken, and so nobody likes him 2. Naoto naturally learns Mahamaon/Mamudoon, while Ken is stuck with only Hamaon so has to rely on skill cards or sub-Personas for them.

Please destroy Ken Edit: Developers of the fighting game knew Ken was the worst character in the entire series so they paired him up with one of the best, unfortunately Ken is so terrible it overrides this and you must also destroy the dog Edit 2: In that sense he gets 2 great characters killed

So i unlocked the P3 Crew, and i am utterly baffled by my party composition. There is so much choice and i just want to use everyone but Ken. I was thinking along the lines of: P4MC - Aigis - Kanji / Naoto - P3MC Is this decent? I really have no idea what i am doing however.

Put Aigis in the back, though. There are plenty of ranged physical skills, and she's a fantastic tank made even more fantastic by taking half damage in the back row.
