Does the game allows you to try every one out, or must you commit to a select team of 5? I only played the first EO, and messing up my party's setup and having to retrain them slowly was miserable.

Didn't played for long, but so far, I like what I see a lot. Lot of banter, the gameplay is way better than EO1, the only one in the serie I played. Sub-personae in particular is a cool idea. When can I swith difficulty mode, though? Normal mode's too much of a breeze for now.

Vengarr posted:Yu taking over as battle leader of the Shadow Operatives and bringing his squad of corn-fed asskickers with him is really enticing. It would be interesting seeing the Investigation Team face the same pressures that SEES did. People dying, world ending, betrayal, stuff like that. Not to be That Guy Who Argue Too Much About Persona, but they kind of went through pretty rough stuff as well. But yeah, I'll agree P3 had a pretty overbearing feeling that wasn't in P4, at least until December. Iceclaw fucked around with this message at 01:23 on Nov 30, 2014 |

Just got my first game over to a ridiculous string of bad luck: Two Balances and a Hablerie on Third Floor of the first labyrinth, Mind Charge on first turn, then two ma-spells up the nose. And of course, Naoto had to miss with Hama. Twice.

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:Haha it's like the EO4 version of snipers doing Leg Bind > Squall Volley. I like how they translated a lot of SMT stuff into EO land, changing some status effects into Binds from EO and such. Also people have mentioned it but Rei+Zan are literally EO characters in a party full of Persona characters and it's really cool. Tentarafoo was actually pretty good in P4: Lot of things like the Magus or Hulk Hogan types were resistant to everything, but crippingly weak to ailments.

I kind of hope that en eventual Q2 expends on what happens after Arena and Ultimax, so that P5 can starts on a fresh base and maybe with changed rules. Some kind of suitably epic conclusion to P3&4's continuity, if you will, possibly ending with Narly's defeat once and for all, and vast, sweeping changes a la Unknown Armies. Hell, it's kind of funny if you know the tabletop game (and if you don't, you should give it a whirl) how it can maps rather well to P3 and P4: Both started out as street level campaigns, before moving to Global level, at list for the Shadow Operatives.

Nope. Koromaru was about as important to the plot as Ken was: He has like his recruitement and a single scene and then he was a bystander for the rest of the game.

Dexie posted:There has to be at least one more crossover with the P3/P4 teams. They wouldn't go to all the trouble of setting all of this up if they didn't plan on saving P3MC at some point. Hence my comment of being important for a single cutscene in the game, Shinjiro's death, and then fading into the background.

ImpAtom posted:The 'people's wishes form a literal monster' thing is pointless and detracts from the overall story. It isn't necessary and doesn't really change anything, it just gives a covenient boss monster for you to punch. You litteraly fight monsters born of the people's wishes and mind for the rest of the game. And it's never said that the MC can be rescued. Just that one day his sacrifice might not be necessary, ie that he'll be allowed to rest in peace instead of being the Seal. Iceclaw fucked around with this message at 08:13 on Dec 12, 2014 |

Ooorrr maybe going with a fully megaten ending where mankind is forever changed, maybe because Nyarlathotep has been defeated or weakened enough? Could be an interesting send off for that plotline.

Well the duology ends up with one timeline being utterly wrecked, with one city being the only remnant of humanity. The other just... err carry on without anyone realizing anything (despite a city taking flight and dragons raging around the globe for a good while. P2 is sloppily written like that at times).

Manatee Cannon posted:Nothing post Persona 2 has anything to do with Persona 1 or 2 and it never will. At most you'll get some fan service callbacks but you will never get any direct ties to those games. Well, that's kind of my opinion as well, if only because they seems to have pretty large differences here and there. Demons mainly.

Torokasi posted:The other one's Sumaru City got what basically amounted to a reset/restore to before the city launched, from what I understand. The reason it cost the group something in IS to do anything remotely similar was because Nyarly won that round, but Philemon won EP so it worked out differently in round 2. It's never fully stated what people do or don't remember, but Tatsuya doesn't seem to recall anything out of the ordinary so it can be pretty safely presumed things are "normal" now.

P3 does foreshadows that the Dark Hour fucks with non persona users's memories, though. It's a bit of a copout that SEES forget about it after the Fall, but it's not coming from nowhere. Nothing in P2 allude to memory loss.

ImpAtom posted:That is why it is uninteresting. Nyx is already that. A creature born from mankind's innate desire to die, called and drawn to it. It doesn't need a second monster that also fills that role. Eh, not exactly. Nyx is iirc called death, the idea itself, not Mankind's desire for it. So there's room for sometinh that embodies specifically all the things that drives humanity to long for death. And remember, even in vanilla P3, what defeat Nyx is called "The Great Seal", so the MC becoming a seal of sort was planned for the start.

Eh, he died, though, I think that they were pretty insistent on this. So, yeah, some part of him remains as the Seal, but most of it is gone. Especially his body. He won't be resurrected. Now you may hard that humanity forgoing the need for a Seal could cheapen his sacrifice and the theme of the game, but that's another problem: The MC defenitely sacrificed himself knowingly for a greater purpose.

ImpAtom posted:He will absolutely be resurrected. There's no other reason to do the seal thing and constantly drop hints about it. It's just a matter of When after the Answer. Says you. The Answer clarify what happens to him because apparently, to some players, it wasn't clear the MC was dead. So they did: He's dead, his body is rotting in a grave somewhere. I'm having a hard time believing they will go for a miraculous resurrection out of the blue. All they did was suggest that one day, his sacrifice might not be necessary.

I recall Margaret telling something about sacrified persona giving items, but either I'm missing something or I didn't really notice. What kind of things they give and how do I trigger it? I'm on the third floor of the second labyrinth in term of plot.

Manatee Cannon posted: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.
