So if I'm understanding that correctly, you don't have to sleep but you're still locked in your room? So all you can do is study/read/play a game/watch a dvd/make tools? I mean that's something but I was hoping to be able to go out and do stuff like in P4G.

But that's for when you've been to the metaverse, it would be twice as useful then. I hope they add things to do during night time then that aren't just stat increase activities because once you've maxed those you may as well just go to bed. :v:

I just recently got a new PS4 after giving my old one to my ex when we broke up, and saw P5 on sale for like $15

I regret not getting into Persona/SMT ages ago.

Finished the third palace last night, having a real banger of a time.

Is it worth / how much of a pain in the rear end is it to play the older Persona games?

If you buy a Playstation TV or a Vita (a Vita is legit cheaper to find for me searching, lol), you can get the best versions of both P3 and P4.

As well as Persona 1 and the two Persona 2's.

Although they are very, very different games from Persona 3 and onward. Some might say better but others might say their gameplay is a crime against humanity. A friend of mine once said that , whatever you feel about the quality of Old Persona vs. Nu Persona, Persona 3 is when the Persona games found their own identity beyond just being an SMT spinoff. I agree with that.

It'd be great if he did because most Persona fans will think he's a new and unique and awesome character.

But seriously, I would be so down for this. As much as I love Persona 4 , Persona 2 and Persona 3 are the only Persona games with satisfying, cathartic final bosses IMO. By the end of EP I desperately wanted to beat this bastard into the ground and I did that and I was very happy in a way I wasn't in 4 or 5.

Also this boss theme is the best

One of the best things about the Nyarly boss fight in EP is how you can feel him starting to freak out. The IS boss fight was clearly a game to him so it didn't matter if he won or lost. But in EP he starts panicking and screaming "SUCCUMB, SUCCUMB!" in his second form. The smug bastard knows he's finally no longer in total control.

Of course, given I vastly prefer Innocent Sin, I'm kinda sad the Masquerade didn't get vengeance on him. He's the cause of everything, including Sudou going crazy and attacking Tatsuya and Maya which is of course very significant to the IS kids. There's also his manipulation of Jun as well. They all had a much more personal grudge against him than Baofu, Ulala or Katsuya did.

It would probably be irresponsible to tell someone that it's worth buying a Vita just to play Persona 4 Golden, but I will say that it's the only drat reason I got a Vita.

The Vita is great as it is but it's a million times greater because I can spend literally hundreds of hours playing P4G on it. Also it has remote play which rules.

If you are planning on playing any version of Persona 4 there's one thing you should know: Don't spoil the plot for yourself. One of the central plot points is an ongoing mystery you're trying to solve that's actually handled extremely well.

Also This Thread: Goro is just a kid he doesn't know any better than to kill dozens or possibly hundreds of people


Also Goro's plan is dumb because the writing for the ending of his whole arc is bad, not because the writers made it a bad plan on purpose to represent how broken he is.

Ah yeah, the one other person posting in this thread did say that, huh?

I mean, what I personally said was that Yosuke's actions pointed to him being an unlikable rear end in a top hat and Akechi's point to him being a mentally ill child, but po tay toh, poh tah toh.

The original version was. The remake made things much easier by switching several social links to night shift.
