The idea of a 3DS Persona game is something that I don't think my body could handle. It would be like literal crack to me. I would become pale and emaciated and found dead two weeks later clutching the 3DS in a pool of my own fluids.

Now you've got my hopes up, and I'm halfway through Novemeber in P3FES, and that makes me want to wait till its confirmed/denied to pick up P4. What a horrible limbo I have been thrust into.

So, wait, as far as dating Shinji is concerned, does that mean he doesn't die in the girl MC storyline, or do you have to max his S.Link out before that happens? And, I'm almost afraid to ask, do you end up "sharing a special evening" with Ken?

I'm in the last month of the game, and there's no way I'm going to be able to max out the following S.Links: Star Moon Temperence Lovers Empress Are there any endgame Personae that I'm going to miss out due to not getting the Max S.Link personae from those links?

jonjonaug posted:You can beat the Reaper by stunlocking him with Odin's Thunder Reign skill (it takes some luck though since you can be screwed over by a bad turn order). He's also entirely beatable without Armageddon, and grinding to a high enough level to be able to use it just to get access to Monad so you can grind even harder is kind of insane.

I was trying to figure out how anyone can reach level 99 in Persona 3 without going insane. Now I understand. Monad.  Why yes I would like 20,000 EXP from this fight, thank you very much.

I beat Persona 3 FES last night. I think I'm going to take a break before starting The Answer, after having burned 85 hours on the Journey. Turns out being level 91 and having special fusion weapons with 400+ attack on three of my four party members did make me a little overpowered for the final fight! The closest I got to dying was when my MC got Charmed and killed Yukari, but I got payback when half my party got Enraged when the boss had about 400 HP left and no defenses. Any tips for The Answer before I start playing?

^^^But The World Ends With You Owns So last night I ran my first game of a homebrewed Persona pen-and-paper RPG with my internet RP friends. I'm using a system tailored from a game called Magical Burst, which is designed as sort of a dark magical girl anime game but which actually converts almost perfectly to Persona with only some minor tweaks. What's great about it my group is the array of experience that my players have with Persona and MegaTen in general. I got one guy who's played Persona 3 and 4, Nocturne, both Digital Devil Sagas and Devil Survivor; another guy currently playing Persona 3; one who is familiar with Persona and SMT but hasn't actually played any of them, and a fourth guy who has no idea about any of it. If Atlus won't make Persona 5 then I'll just make my own. With blackjack. And hookers.

Perfect Potato posted:Makes me wonder why the Legends 3 fan participation thing was dumb enough to be poo poo on a dozen times over in the 3DS thread, but pandering to the lowest common denominator with stupid, creepy poo poo like a dumb anime robot who fawns over the player character or near naked grade schoolers is sound business worth defending and getting huffy about. I'm not terribly bothered by the innuendo and sexual content of the games because it's miles less explicit than, say, American Pie or Superbad or any movie where the characters are meant to be high schoolers. I don't think Nanako in a towel is overly creepy either since her character isn't sexualized in any way during the game. It seems innocent enough to me.

For the record I think the Aigis max S.Link smacks more of Atlus having fun with the idea of a robot girlfriend rather than aiming for genuine titillation. EDIT: Then again it is an addition made to the FES release, which has like a ton of fanservice injected directly into it so maybe not.

The high school sim elements in P3 really worked for me because they actually made me care about the characters, which is something that very few games have ever succeeded in doing. If I wasn't at least partially invested in them, then the ending wouldn't have been as powerful. As it is, it didn't really hit me until a while afterwards how the protagonists death would affect the people he knew and helped change. As a result it's one of the most moving endings I've seen in a game. What I'm saying is that I'm a big gay baby.

Nessa posted:(P3P ramblings and impressions up ahead. Spoilered just because.) I dated and maxed out three female S.Links: Yuko, Chihiro and Fuuka. Of the three I thought Yuko was by far the best written and most compelling love interest. Her story arc with acting as a coach for the little kids was really endearing. Hers was also the only end game part that really got to me, once I realized that the MC was dead. Like, I was legit depressed after how she says she'll make the MC fall for her all over again. Chihiro wasn't a good investment, I guess you could say. Her story arc is such pandering anime garbage by the end I was just grinding it out to get her Max Persona, which wasn't even that good. Fuuka was a happy medium, but the whole "girl can't cook how waaacky" is such an overdone trope that it kinda annoyed me from the get go.

I still like Vorpal Blade better simply because you get a boost for being in "Great" status, which is ridiculously easy to achieve later in the game when Tartarus is for chumps. It was Siegfried and Odin all the way. Ring of the Nibelungen baby.

I'm current running a Persona RPG over instant messanger with some friends that's set in an American charter school and the main characters all have Personae based on native american mythology, so there's ground to be covered there in a proper game. I appreciate that Atlus has the professional integrity to not set a game here unless they knew they could do the setting justice, but part of me wants to see what it would be like if they just did it anyway and instead of having the game being an honest take on American culture it was a skewed vision of America through Japanese eyes where everyone carries a gun and black people are literal superheroes.

I'm in September for Persona 4, and I'm leveled to around 45. Am I going to be all set for future dungeons, or should I do some grinding? Persona 4's format is a lot different from P3 in that going to the TV is an opportunity cost thing vs building up my S.Links, so as a result I haven't done nearly as much in there as I did in Persona 3. Then again I ground that game into oblivion until all difficulty was erased (I fought the endboss at level 95 on my first playthrough), so I might have to get used to the idea of a game being challenging. Also is the late game like P3 where you can use any party you want, or will I be at a disadvantage not using certain characters? I've been using Chie, Yukiko and Kanji almost exclusively.

Alright so I'm nearing the endgame in Persona 4 and I got a question. I read about how to get the "Normal Ending" but I understand that there's a secret ending as well. Can I get a little guidance on how to proceed with December to get the most out of it without spoiling too much?

I figured out that Adachi was the killer because he was the only character left at the end. The other option would have been to either introduce an entirely new character, or I guess to have one of the party members be the guilty party. Ultimately the game doesn't leave you with enough of a rogues gallery to make the final deduction compelling.

Finally beat the True Ending of Persona 4 today, after dying twice and reassessing my strategy. Gotta say, that's easily the best RPG I've ever played. Part of me wishes it had an equivalent to the Monad Depths where I could grind up to level 90 and barely break a sweat, but lacking that made me actually strategize against the final boss instead of brute forcing it like I wound up doing in Persona 3 and I think I like that better.

I'd suggest playing Digital Devil Saga before Nocturne. Nocturne is infamously difficult, far more than either of the two Persona games you've played. DDS is a good bridge between those difficulty levels.

It's much easier to brute force you way through the game in DDS though, since there's no fusion and you have full control over what skills everyone learns. Especially if you obsessively grind like I did. In any other game the amount of grinding I did would be inexcusable, but DDS's gameplay is so good that I barely even noticed.

With the way that Catherine was tied in via cameo into P3P, it wouldn't surprise me if Persona 5 goes down a similar route as that game. Not necessarily the puzzle game bits, but dealing in a more adult setting than the last two Persona games. It probably will not happen but if it did it would make perfect sense.
