the only Persona i've played is 4G and while it rocked, a combination of factors (playing too much too quickly, getting overwhelmed by/not really getting Persona summoning and fusing and feeling like i'm handicapping myself as a result, never having a good handle on boss fights) led to me burning out late into Rise's dungeon. might pick up P5R for the hell of it since even if it's nowhere as good, it might spur me to pick up P4G where i left off

mbt posted:ive never played 4 or 5 but 2:is and 3 made me to go sleep depressed after i beat them. P:2 duology is far and away my favourite because of the tone, story and the diorama visuals. The battles are excruciatingly slow so if you are playing on an emulator I recommend hot key that fast forward button.

Sometimes it's worth keeping a lower leveled demon around for a specific spell, but more often than not you're better off fusing them off. It's like the opposite of pokemon. Keep a variety of strengths/weaknesses and spell types, and you'll be golden

P3 is my personal favorite, played it the most. Played Nocturne after that and couldn't believe how good it was. P4 is godlike and P5 is just alright lol. Compared to P3 and P4, it's just not that good. That being said I really love the look and aesthetic. However, any time SMT or Persona is brought up, I have to post this. Sorry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjBNU4Z0gdE The Nocturne version of this track is insane but the SMT 1 version holds a special place in my heart.

5r's extra stuff is worth it even if you have to wait until the end of a stupid long game to get to most of it, it's a lot better written than almost anything in the base game and made me look forward to whatevers next

I just really liked that 3 had a coherent theme that it ran with, confronting death, and I felt like Persona 5 sort of toyed with having a theme that the adults can't be trusted and are turning everything to poo poo but kinda backed off it at the end I felt like the Sun social link (the dying kid) in 3 is maybe my favorite of any of them, and I really like the ending, like when the ending music hits when you're on the roof and it fades out, great moments in gaming for me. The MMO Social Link was really good too. But I definitely admit that a lot of that could have been heightened by it being my first one and I also admit uhh the plot stuff with the ghost hunting group faculty advisor was really stupid, the way his little plot arc goes. I also admit that they had to release like 3 versions of the game before the actual dungeon gameplay/combat/fusion stopped being fully enraging Stefan Prodan fucked around with this message at 02:55 on Sep 16, 2022 |

3 was the first one i played and its my favorite so perhaps the theory holds. i just like the gloomier vibe too much even thoygh p4 has better characters. 5's good too the thing is theyre all good

i like the lifesim/time management stuff so really i enjoy all of them lol, it's like yakuza where I just like hanging out in itChuck Buried Treasure posted:It’s pretty good but it’s got a really weird structure that doesn’t mesh with the musou gameplay well, like you’re running around dungeons like in P5 but when you attack an enemy they explode into a thousand of them and then it becomes a brief musou battle i thought it was better than base p5 lol. not the expansion/rerelease version but i enjoyed it a lot more than I expected

I mainlined it for like 10 straight days when it came out and then I went on a weekend trip with some friends and couldn't stomach one more second of it after taking a 3 day break lol. It also coincided with the stupidest scene of all time where a character accidentally kills their own dad and they just kinda shrug and go to Disney world

the first 20 hours of 5 are insanely fuckin cool and then nothin else even comes close. game's good but not great and 3-4 are great. atlus lost some serious writing talent right around then I think and theyre still clawing back but hopefully persona 6/smt 6 are cool

In other games you lvl all of the MCs stats, but in persona when you lvl up you only get more HP/MP. So if you swap to a lvl8 guy vs a lvl20 mob, chances are you're gonna get owned even with advantageous spells

P5 was way too drat long. It’s the only game that I felt like I finished out of spite. Even before the end of the base game I was done and then the royal dlc was hanging out the back end of it. I was yelling at my tv for the last dlc boss to just stfu and die. Can’t even remember his motivations or anything.

Persona 5 has one of the most fluid, snappy turn-based combat systems I've played so for all its many faults I think I have the most fun actually playing it of the Persona games. The story's a real mess in the base game, though. I like it a lot just because of the combat and style but it's got a lot of failings in the writing.
