the honorifics are part knowing a bit about their audience and also part making it easier to work around the player character being nameable, since you can use the honorific in their name's place
sometimes i remember how hard FFX had to work around the fact that titus was renameable

is this game gonna b good & cool for someone that nevr played any other persona game before? is there an easy way to play older persona games without buying a ps3???

they're all self contained, outside of 4 having some callbacks to 3, but that's more like a Cool Bonus thing than anything.
if you are interested though:
All the PSP ones i list are easy to emulate
Persona 1 is a pretty rough play, but it has a PSP version
Persona 2 actually does interesting things, but has a weird problem where we only got 1 of the PSP remakes that have a lot of nice updates
Persona 3 has a PSP version and should also be a PS2 classic, the PSP version being the easier one to emulate because it's cut down to a more VN style in the non dungeon areas (but has a new story route with a female MC that changes the SLinks and arranges some other stuff)
Persona 4 i dont know if was ever released as a PS2 classic, but the updated version is on the Vita which can played with PSTV

so 3 has the least amount of investment and is the start of what modern Persona games are like

i think being 16 made playing FES a more memorable introduction to the series so i'm sure it definitely still has plenty of appeal to people that age

Hi, I hate Morgana's voice and want it to not exist at least during combat. Is there a way to get him to stop saying creepy things about Panther other than kicking her out of the party? Thanks in advance

Playing through Merciless and the game really destroys your money and exp gains. Having just recruited Yusuke, I've found that he's 3 levels ahead of everyone else and I'm having to confuse most enemies just get decent money from battles. If it wasn't for the fact I was playing a NG+, I have no idea how I could complete a Merciless playthrough and retain my sanity.

merciless is probably aimed at NG+ anyways
it came out like 3 weeks after release in JPN, to further suggest this

don't misunderstand, persona 2 is cool (outside of the gameplay) but it's a fact they did a female protagonist and then the series went to bed for over half a decade

thats not atypical in SMT games really

If you mean the gameplay I gotta disagree because if you're into it dungeon crawling can be pretty fun, if also sort of brainless and akin to gambling.

P2 has a bad combo of ps1/psp loading times, constant random battles and fights that are neither fast or engaging/threatening (outside of negotiations I guess). It really drags.

i mean having half a decade between games

The gap between P2 and P3 was about the same length as the one between P4 and P5. Are you trying to say that P4 also killed the series?

Okay, it's late November, Shido's palace is a giant boat, I'm only just now hitting level 50, I can't go to school anymore, my social links are freaking out over my supposed death, I have no idea what's at the end of Mementos, I still don't know what the gently caress Morgana is, there's no crazy goddess or Death Star moon threatening the world with an apocalypse, the detective did it, again, and the last day of the game is 12/24. They aren't seriously going to try and resolve everything in like three in-game weeks including free time, are they?

I really suggest not hovering over that if you wanna keep yourself unspoiled, by the way.


Goth doctor best tho. Though Kawakami is a great option too.

having the doctor in her punk outfit when i turned her down was a v rude move by the game

Parked myself outside what I presume to be the boss of the first palace, but I missed a locked chest earlier. We have the ability to revisit dungeons after we've cleared them, right?

Gotta say, I'm glad they ditched P3 and 4's procedurally-generated dungeons in favor of planning them out instead. This first one has been pretty fun.

you cannot revisit after the boss is defeated, but youre probably better off saving your lockpick anyways

It just seems like a weird thing to get in arms about, a joke that isn't really funny has lead to people saying that there are no positive representations of homosexuaity in media that aren't jokes and all kinds of other hyperbolic poo poo. I'd much rather people treat homosexuality as another thing they can make unfunny jokes about instead of othering it either by hatred or eggshell walking, both piss me off.

I realize the hypocrisy in calling people out for overacting to things on the internet when I just posted tons of paragraphs doing basally the same thing tho so I'm gonna just abort this comment chain here and go back to talking about things that matter, like which jrpg character is the strongest in a fight.

people don't like it because its the kind of thing that helps normalize bad attitudes/views on homosexuality so it's going to feel worse than just a bad gag
i don't want to make too many assumptions about you or your sexuality but it can also be a little hollow to hear someone who might not be particularly invested because its not something that ever effects them when theyre straight be like "well i wish we could make jokes about it without someone calling us out"
