Hasn’t been niche since 2011
when normies discovered Persona 4 Anime
Sold way worse in Japan and doubt it will have the same legs. I'm perfectly fine with Persona 3 retaining less exposure than 5 overall to be quite honest.
Jap market is literally dead for anything that isn't mobile or on Switch.
Japs aren't dumb they know Americans and other English speaking troglodytes will CONSOOM anything hence why they pushed this shite. I blame parents also for being unable to teach children something other than video games bunch of worthless Gen x Black folk
>Japs aren't dumb they know Americans and other English speaking troglodytes will CONSOOM anything hence why they pushed this shite
japs love gacha and Nintendo shovelware like Pokémon. you are coping if you think japs have good taste.
Americans LOVE COD, and FIFA. It is an universal rule that normalgays, and bottom barrel nerds have almost always will have shitty taste
you can just say the JP market is dead for Sony. Other than them the market was never alive in the first place for other groups.
Jap market is pretty minor nowadays since most companies are targeting the West.
No one cares about the Jap market anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if a future Persona game took place somewhere else in the west to appeal to their current audience.
Persona 5 explosive popularity made me hate it. I loved the fact only a few people liked these games, it made it more personal.
>Persona 5 explosive popularity made me hate it.
It's kinda pathetic you let other people dictate your taste like that.
Persona 5 paved the way for p3r success
Persona 3 paved the way for 5's success, so it only comes around.
I would argue that persona 4 paved the way for persona 5. Persona 3 was nowhere near as successful as 4.
Well 3 set a lot of the groundwork. Each installment blew up over the other.
4 wouldn't exist without 3. 3 is basically the progenitor of the franchise.
Doesn't help that programming wise, 4 is a glorified rom hack of 3.
Fallout NV wouldn't exist without fallout 3. Actually, that's an apt comparison now that I think about it.
This.
Reminder P3 did not sell.
P4 saved its ass.
No excuse not to make that feMC route now.
Nobody wants that crap. This is a dating simulator aimed at men. Go play some shitty otome games instead homosexual
Just make her bisexual so she can still frick the female cast.
Nah
>Just make her bisexual so she can still frick the female cast.
That's even worse.
You want to get railed by Akihiko, don't lie
FeMC is easily the hottest girl in the entire Persona series thoughever
Nah. I think she's a bit homely compared to other girls in the series.
It was a desperate try to sell the game to fujos, and it failed kinda
?si=f7sEaLE9_F8wiTPK
Aigis dabbing on feMC in HD
What does Hamuko add of value besides Saori? You really like her puns or being a child molester?
SLs with SEES are pretty good
seeing girls from the different side is cool
Why is everything here so negative and trying to "own" some imagined enemies? Why would "Persona 5 bros" care that Persona 3 sold well?
this game is fricked up
Just say you love her. They got rid of the jelousy mechanic and there’s no downsides to harem.
no way gay
im keeping myself for yukari
cheating is cringe, but it still kinda hurts rejecting so brutally
I’d be the same if they didn’t make me feel shit.
>Reject Aigis
>Aigis: I feel something has really broken inside of me
>Narration: I feel like I've grown closer to Aigis
Kek. Man the rejection scenes are just as brutal as I was hoping. Yukari literally cries and runs away while Aigis pauses after calling you friend later. It's glorious.
And think about it, it's either that or them cradling Door's dead body in just a couple of months. This is mercy in comparison.
its not mercy, its just going to be a double heartbreak, one now and one later
shit hurts, i got a glimpse of yukari rejection, its just straight up cruel
The Answer still happens no matter what so they had to make Yukari and Aigis take it more personally than the others and that's why they make it clear that they still have feelings for Door. Fuuka and Mitsuru are clearly shaken but don't dwell on it nearly as much.
While sad, I prefer this over the Schrodinger love interest that P4 and P5 use a lot, where if you choose to go for that path then they always loved you, but if you don't confess then they don't make any move to imply they ever liked you. It's jarring and not good for the characters I think.
I'm romancing both. You got to play the long con here for max suffering.
How bad are Fuuka and Mitsuru?
Man, Door has some crazy rizz. Pretty much every girl can't help but fall head over heels for him, even if he doesn't do anything. Like in the case of P4MC and Joker, there are cases when they have to put in some effort.
the "But..." is the correct option, she's just average, a normal girl.
Well yeah. Until P5 came out Persona was pretty niche and on limited systems. P3R launched on every console and PC simultaneously for the first time in the main game series history.
Is Grant voicing Mitsuru's dad a meta joke? He voiced Kurosawa in the original but didn't reprise him for Reload. Presumably so Akihiko can talk to Akihiko but I'm now wondering if it was intentional to give him another dying role.
time to remaster P5 and do a crossover with Honaki StarRail
>Our response
Nothing. Unlike moronic souls fans people who enjoy other franchises actually enjoy all the games in the series and don't turn it into a dick measuring contest over "which game da best".
thats not true in the slightest. i dont mind the pozzing or the changes i just dont want normalgays in my game space
That's too damn bad isn't it
Black person
>being a fan of a series means you have no ability to think critically and will happily gobble up anything thrown your way

No. That's literally only Dark Souls II vs Everything else, nobody is fighting about Elden Ring vs Dark Souls III
>nobody is fighting about Elden Ring vs Dark Souls III
Because both games suck.
It's P3 but with P5 gameplay. I fail to see how we lost.
Persona 5 was both an exclusive AND had a delayed worldwide release while P3R is available on everything but the Switch and released worldwide on the same day.
>to top
Did it or didn't it
What the frick is this? Don't claim milestones before you actually reach them
Whenever a company uses vague statements like that, they're lying. In this case it's because it includes gamepass "sales"
They remade P3 to look like P5 and most P5 players haven't even experienced P4.
Of course it's going to sell massively.
I ain't buying because I already own FES but maybe it'll be on sale in a few years and I'll grab it.
>Game removes fatigue elements because they're ass
>This was done to appeal to 5-gays
How did we lose so hard, 3 sisters...?
So I'm about to be honest: Fatigue isn't even bad. It literally solves the problem of just grinding out all you need in the dungeon in one day.
Reversing social links was the bad thing.
So I'm about to be honest: that's already solved with the game's unforgiving SP management system. Fatigue is redundant and takes away player agency, and changes it from a difficult game to a padded game.
I just make it a habit to always buy out the vending machines whenever they restock
Then you won't have money for good fusions, or buying arcana matching personas for SLs.
the drinks are only like 100 yen and they sell out at 2 every week
Do you know how little money Tartarus gives you?
Thousands every shuffle?
Right, then you have to factor in:
-fusions
-gear
-compendium purchases
-SL investments like Tanaka
-home shopping program
The game doesn't give you nearly enough money unless you grind
you ARE selling all that extra shit to the cop right?
You HAVE played this game before, right?
Yes
I'm not having any money troubles at all
I haven't had a problem. I'm sitting on 350k in september and I do loads of fusing. Money from requests, shuffle time, selling mats and going to the fortune teller to spawn gold hands more often gets me by.
Min max your Tartarus runs by getting the fortune that spawns more gold hand enemies.
Even after I reach the border floors, I rerun through older floors until my SP runs out so I have enough money until the next floor is unlocked.
More than enough
I do this and honestly they don't make a huge difference. It's mostly a bunch of 5 sp items. You get more by destroying those things in tartarus and also by using the clock since you swim in fragments anyway.
>It's mostly a bunch of 5 sp items
Yeah but then eventually you'll have a shit ton of them for supreme emergencies
sometimes a homie just needs 15 or 20 SP to get through
I mean there is no reason not to get them when they're up. They are dirt cheap. I still do it. I'm just saying, of all the factors that allow me to clear Tartarus in one night, the vendor machines is probably not even in my top 3.
i wish merciless was harder though. it just feels like normal mode from the original
It's bad, it was a measure against one night grind and I saw some morons who do it for some reason now
time for persona 4 remake. chad narukami will win once again
They already put Golden on the PC. We guuci
did you not hear the new rumors?
https://gamerant.com/persona-2-persona-4-remakes-leak-rumor/
Persona 1 and 2 could totally work.
But 4 was ported so recently...
A P4 remake is at least 5 years away if not more.
3 was ported to PC last year, and yet here we are.
anon, 2020 was 4 years ago
but i agree that p4 doesn't really need a remake, p4g port is good and its not a severely cutdown version like p3p
I want to see them remake 2.
a remake for the p2 duology is pointless.
all the old staff at atlus who made the originals have left, so they're just gonna persona 5-ify the games and force the calendar system somehow
did P5 rape your dad or something?
no. I just want the original charm, atmosphere and presentation of the OG games to be preserved as is rather than be adapted into a p5 fanfiction that barely resemble the originals.
I agree, that'd be the best outcome but knowing how much reload sold I doubt they're just going to port the games.
They literally just need to port it and it would sell hundreds of thousands.
With how little change they made to p3 structure Im a bit more confident they wouldnt change p2's either. And honestly P2 with "good" combat would be more than enough to me.
Is Kaneko not in Atlus anymore?
Kaneko is an executive now. He doesn't draw anymore.
Besides, most of the in-game art was originally by Soejima. But he's probably not gonna do the art for it either. They'll probably have Doi draw everything.
I just want a port with the best qol features possible. The game is still really charming
Yes I want it all. It’s almost like I have something to live for now. I’d love to see persona 4 get persona 5’d, then we would have it all.
Gas Station Attendant Social Link when?
they should really remake SMTIV, that game is extremely held back by 3dshit hardware. frick. too bad smt is nowhere near as popular so it'll never happen
it being on the 3ds is part of what makes it good
if they remake it they're gonna overdo shit and make the game feel slower, combat feels so fast paced in 4 and its satisfying
I would rather just a port
What can I say, except; you're welcome.
It's an excellent game, it deserves it
Still not paying 70 dollars for it
I beat it last night and it's the best game I've ever played. Can't believe I slept on 3 until the remake.
reload really improved on it with modernized gameplay
Always wanted to get into Persona. Would have started with 5, but then it had the DLC so I waited for the complete collection. Then the complete came out and there was Royal. Then Royale got DLC. Frick me I guess.
I was thinking this may be a good entry point, but this is an 18 year old game for 70 fricking dollars. Am I missing something or did they add a lot more to the game to make it worth that much?
It's fine to start with P3. I started with P3FES and I loved it. Reload is a huge improvement in many ways. Excludes some small things like you can't use every weapon type on the MC anymore, but the other improvements more than make up for it. Give it a shot.
They actually removed stuff. Save your money and find a cheaper way to play it.
The shit they removed does not cancel out how much smoother they played.
i do not give a frick. Nickel and dime bullshit is why I stopped playing video games in the late '00s, I did not return to vidya to have it happen all over again
they kept out content to later sell as DLC.
sorry that you have to live in this hellscape reality
P4 is the best starting point, then you play either P5R or P3R. Imo P3R >>>> P5R and im only halfway done P3R currently. P5s story drags on and on with nothing world changing happening while P3 the dark hour is a literal world ending event occuring throughout the whole story
it's pretty low IQ to demand end of world stakes in everything
just saying
Nothing will ever reach P3's stakes anyway. The Fall was pretty much the absolute death of all carbon-based lifeforms on the planet. It might be possible to recover from anything else. P1, P2, P4, P5, no matter what happens, as long as there's some form of life left, the possibility of recovery isn't absolutely zero. But if literally everything on the planet dies, then that's a decisive end to all possibility. You can't get more final than that. Things can't get better, nor can they get worse. It's just eternal stagnation.
Personally I think that even if Nyx, or any other antagonist for that matter won, while really bad for a lot of people, it being the end of the world globally is too much of a stretch.
We know that in this world Persona users and divine beings trying to interfere aren't that weird, so suddenly declaring that because one group allowed one god to get out of control and it destroyed the world for everyone else feels too much.
Demons and gods are born from humanity's Collective Unconscious. You wipe out all life on the planet and there's basically no more Collective Unconscious. It's the decisive end. If all of humanity dies, then Izanami, Yaldabaoth, even Philemon and Nyarlathotep are just gone for good, because they are all embodiments of humanity.
Like the other anon said, pretty much every god is born of the CU. Nyx is outside of the CU, and even influenced humanity into developing it. The point being that no matter how strong willed the CU becomes, humanity cannot escape death.
Atlus's management is more money-hungry then EA/Activision, even before SEGA acquired them. They would milk their waifu-loving fans to death with re-releases and DLCs, and they are so cucked they wouldn't say anything.
You can go ahead and get Persona 5 since they are done with it, but wait for Persona 3 since it is getting DLC and 70 bucks is already a fricking robbery.
>P-Persona 5 bros…o-our response!?
What are you talking about? this is a persona 5 reskin.
I'm still here waiting for the 2 remake bros
?
Persona starts with 3.
It will start at 2 once the remake hits.
P2 will be light remaster with innoncent sin included and some qol changes. Next true remake is p4, but thats likely coming after P6 eith P2 remaster coming before P6
>with innoncent sin included
lmao it's atlus we're talking about of course it's gonna be a separate release
I'd only accept a P4 remake if it had a CRT filter.
I don't play female protagonist games. Persona started at 3
Can I get a (You) from people who also got their copy from Aigis anon? How are you enjoying the game? How far are you right now?
Yeah i got mine from Aigisbro, right now after summer and just got Aigis.
Surprised there's not much replies to this post.
aigisbro? can I get a quick rundown?
some anon who gifted like 50 steam copies on here
Why did he do it?
I got one from him, which was a godsend. About to finally start romancing Yukari, I assumed that she would be available way earlier and spent around a month with max charm, getting useless points from school answers and such.
I missed every day he was gifting, RIP
Any tips for the reaper?
1/13
I've been playing nonstop since release
im just surprised sega didnt end up shootting themselves in the foot releasing these two back to back
But Ganker told me it was a soulless demake???????
Ganker will say that about all games no matter what they are. Ganker is full of dramaqueen homosexuals who don't know what objectivity, flexibility or sensibility are. Ganker is full of actual spergs that only have one setting: 110%.
Notice how a lot of the complaints have died down after the game launched. Most of the genuine criticism is more subjective in nature.
when will homosexuals ever understand that Ganker and Ganker as a whole is worst place to take seriously?
>it sold well, that means it's good.
nu-/v/, everyone. you know what else sells well? the yearly installment of call of duty and sports games.
I didn't say anything about sales. I don't care about numbers either. the game being fastest-selling persona is a foregone conclusion because it was a worldwide, multiplatform release. the news means nothing. but all that aside, the game is good. I'm sorry you can't play it.
it is. Gameplay is improved but the direction is fricked, music is garbage, overall atmosphere is worse
remixed tracks are slightly worse but calling them garbage is pearl-clutching tiers of hysterics. new tracks are great including a battle theme that mogs even the original mass destruction and it's the one you hear more often so whatever.
Listenibg to Ganker on anything lol
Most people are just self hating losers hear who just try shit on anything that moderatly brings enjoyment to anyone else
In some aspects, The dub va's feel like they go mute and I can barely tell what they're saying half the time. Not a problem with the jp va's.
Man I just feel like everyone on Ganker is poor as frick and just has cheap as frick headphones the only time I've heard this is when it would be appropriate for the characters to be quiet
It unironically is. Everything except the combat is significantly worse.
>Everything except 75% of the game is worse
it is,
is a fricking shill
>buying censored garbage
this and granblue relink
Japanese gaming is so fricking dead
THIS! Not only censored but also a remade and incomplete game. Way to show them you’ll slop up anything guys
I really hope FF7R2 flops hard. It would make SE look even more stupid for ditching turn based combat.
it wont. Bad games typically sell the most and FF is normalgay central. Shit like FF15 and FF13 even sold and they were marginally worse games.
It won't sell less than Reload. Now could it be less profitable? Absolutely.
Cope, the fact that metaphor won't even hit 1 million at this pace is pretty funny thoughever
>Persona 3
>In the 3rd spot.
all is right with the world.
>5th place is Prostagma
>play the original when I was a kid
>hate Fuuka
>play Reload as a boomer
>think Fuuka is best girl
Fuuka is wonderful in the renake with a nice portrait and a not-shit VA
The child rejects Fuuka.
The adult loves Fuuka, knowing she's the only halfway well adjusted woman here.
I think the weirdly adult voice combined with the strange looking sprites in the original made her a lot less popular than she otherwise would have been.
Yukari, on the other hand, got a massive downgrade. I don't like her new VA compared to the original one STUPID homosexual LITTLE wienerSUCKER and something about her new portraits is really uncanny valley-esque. Mitsuru also got a VA downgrade. Aigis suffered the least but I think the new artstyle makes her look too cute and not robotic enough, like I think her eyes used to look a lot more cybernetic.
>100 million PS4's out there
>1 billion PCs out there
>can only sell 1 million copies
grim
Don't forget that P3R is also on Xbox Series, Switch, and PS5.
saleshomosexualry is just thinly veiled console warring
I'll be really honest about this, as someone whose favorite Persona game by far and away was once P3P (mainly because I was able to play it endlessly in bed back when I was in school), but playing P3R after P5R I'm really not sure which one I like more. The back-ported improvements to Persona 3 really increase the fluidity of everything, but when I think about comparing the two, it's hard to tell which one I like more.
Which is not to say I think either game is bad. I shamelessly put 90 hours into Persona 5 Royal, and I imagine it'll be a similar story with Persona 3 Reload, but the 5 cast really grew on me in a way that was much less pronounced in Persona 3 OG. If Reload significantly ramps up the character dynamics maybe it'll be a good contender. Either way, good game, annoying that I need to choose between playing Persona 3 Reload, Granblue Fantasy Relink, and Baldur's Gate 3 for the umpteenth time, but at least they're all quality games.
Persona 4 remake is gonna make so much money
no one tell him
You're delusional if you don't think they're gonna remake P4 after this.
Still lost to Palworld
Why oh why
Did they improve the dungeons or combat at all?
yeah, tartarus is actually fun and the combat is basically a better version of p5's
That actually gets my attention. I wasn't planning on buying it if everything was going to be identical with a p5 coat of paint but if they remade Tartarus that's a pretty strong selling point. I'll get it eventually, on sale I think.
It's still randomized but aesthetically improved.
>the combat is basically a better version of p5's
I miss baton pass giving bonuses, it felt satisfying when you could chain 4 baton pass in a row, then unleash a massive attack on all enemies at no cost
Nah, Baton Pass was busted, pass is a strong mechanic by itself, don't need to add a damage bosst on top of it.
I think Baton passing in Royal was great, and something they should keep, but the thing is that they did not rebalance Royal around the new gameplay mechanics. If P6 has the game balanced around having that stuff then it will already have the makings of a good entry.
yeah, but that shit was broken
they really tried to keep the powerlevel down with nerfed shift and characters skill sets
theurgy still kinda breaks it
i wonder if they are going to stay true to hard mode shit in the answer
Just pick three characters with shit charge conditions like Ken and Koromaru. You'll almost never get to use Theurgy more than once in any remotely lengthy fight.
Compared to like Yukari/Aigis/Mitsuru where you'll be spamming theurgy out the ass.
Dungeons are significantly better, there's actual designs now.
ff16 sold 3 million in a week.
Nice, next the superior game, P4.
>you can now smooch yosuke, teddie and hisano and become roommates with the fox

At least it’s uncensored in Japan. Frick us western fans though
But they didn't censor anything. The beach joke was changed in both versions and other than that there's nothing that was changed.
Still, the translation was still fricked in the western release(never hire an idiot that will make the script into a fanfiction) and the English VAs suck in P3R. The original English VAs were so much better. They should've brought them back for P3R(I don't give a frick if they are older now).
Don't care
Patiently waiting for the superior FF7 Rebirth to come out and mog all games coming out this year and after
You know a remake of persona 3 would never have sold this well without persona 5
But I thought all games not on the Switch would flop hard...
This did, it didn't get anywhere as much good sales.
e s l
Your shitty game flopped, ESL
P3R made me feel a bit better about the story but I think the first half of persona 3 outside of social links is weaker just due to the fact there's no looming threat outside of "defeat the shadows" and yukari questioning mitsuru
There's also the problem of the dead zone around the end of the year. P3's pacing issues were identified long ago. The new content might help a little bit by adding more scenes to break stuff up.
Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't polish it as much as they should have. A lot of the social links are still boring and require you to encourage the characters self destructive impulses to maximize the points, and the story still has some batches where something else could have been added.
Well, the second point is deliberate, isn't it? Yu and Ren are different takes on helping people through positivity, but in P3 you build social links by manipulating, hence the reward at the end. Doesn't change the fact that most of 3's are trash that didn't need to be kept.
3 has the best social link in the series. There's like 2 bad one and 1 average. Every other range from good to best.
it 100% looks like AI and just as bad as the san andreas 'remake'
however, nu persona fans are genuinely mentally ill and bottom of the barrel paypiggies for anything epic animesauce, so yes it sold well. for me, it is of course replaying FES on emulator, the far superior experience just like in 2008. because you see unlike most of you, i was around then.
You're not special for playing a video game a long time ago.
Imagine how many more millions they would've sold if they didn't chase away potential customers with Denuvo.
in the real world nobody gives a shit about denuvo because nobody pays attention to that kind of thing. it never leaves forum b***h threads.
do you keep your yarmukle on when you game?
am i supposed to be hurt that you're so fragile you can't handle a noncontroversial statement about casuals not caring about denuvo? get a life, moron
Don't care; won't buy.
>Shit remake gets celebrated by mentally moronic consoomers
This industry is doomed if this shitty butthole piece of shit remake sells 1 million copies
Frick you if you bought it and frick you even more if you like it, troony homosexual
I haven't been following too closely, but apparently they hired the gay who ruined the first Persona game's translation to work on P3R. Can anybody tell me what's been censored/removed? As far as I know, it's a beach scene warning children about gays who dress as women, some gay badge has been shoehorned onto a bag and the removal of panty shots. Is there more or is that pretty much it?
>Can anybody tell me what's been censored/removed?
nothing. The script is 1:1 with FES and P3P.
>The script is 1:1
That's simply not true, and I don't even care that much about censorship.
alright.
>i was just pretending to be moronic
I just don't see a point in arguing with someone like you, the evidence is there. If you want to argue, provide something to debate over.
Not even FES and P3P were 1 to 1 with each other lmao
perhaps that's why he listed both instead of suggesting they're the same like you're pretending he did
>is this how it was in fes?
>is this how it was in p3p instead?
It's been retranslated, but it keeps very close to the original Japanese script. In terms of censoring, the beach scene is easily the most blatant example and a clear exception overall. The scene was also changed in Japanese, so the translators would have had to go off-script to keep the same gag. Only other slight censor worth mentioning is that the shower scene shows a little less skin, but it's still there in full effect otherwise. In short, yeah, it's pretty low censorship here. You just about covered all of it.

I'm fragile? You're the one sperging out because I said the phrase gay badge, kek.
Persona 3 is the worst persona game
worst of the last 3.
>worse story than 4
>worse gameplay than 5
>has the best "le atmosphere" which means "it's really dark(as in the lighting)" and is edgy, which was cringe back then and even more cringe now.
Can you have a harem of female Social Links in this game without issues, or are you forced to pick one? Or is there some scene like Valentine's day in 5
>Mitsuru voiced by a troony
even if I'm a subchad I still won't give this piece of shit corpo my money
Wow, I couldn't even tell and thus I don't really care.
I could tell and I cared
I have no strong feelings one way or the other!
I can't remember the original that well so it's hard to tell how different the script is now.
I mean, it's still Persona 3. The new monad stuff is good, but I can't shake the feeling they should have done more. The new shadow behaviors are good but are almost never scene or used in an interesting way. Tarturus itself is kinda more bland now in terms of aesthetics and design. I have a taste of a lot of the new content is kinda mid where it boils down to 5 new lines and not much more. The only thing really cool that is new is Monad, and it's only a small part of the combat. You get what I'm trying to say how it's mostly just P3 again?
Persona 3 Reload in full native Japanese is comfy ludokino soul.
I literally just learned 日本語, studied all 3k kanji with the Heisig methos, learned all the Japanese grammar through everything from the Genki textbooks to the Japanese dictionaries, and minmaxed my Japanese fluency to understand Persona games.
Yes, I'm that much of an Atlus cucks that I dedicated over a decade of my life to mastering Japanese, only because I wanted to play Persona without subtitles with native Japanese.
Yes, I'm shit at learning languages, that's why it took me 10 years and no, I regret nothing.
Yes, but how does it compare to FES in script/acting?
>A videogame about teenagers saving the world when the average age in japan is 47
One thing I still like more in the movies, is when Door Kun goes to shove the universe up death's ripe butthole, Junpie's desperation in trying to catch up with him is heartwrenching.
>tfw Persona 2 Remake is gonna probably end up being two separate releases
Honestly I don't even care about Atlus' israeliteery, I just don't want to have to wait even longer to play Eternal Punishment
The P2s are like less than half the length of P3 and use a lot of the same areas to boot. Plus, they're probably gonna be lower budget than P3R if they do happen.
>inb4 Eternal Punishment is ignored entirely
no way, that's the one people like more lol
Nah. IS has always been the more successful of the two by far. The reason EP seems more successful is because it was the only one that was localized for the longest time and barely anyone bought P2IS on the PSP. But at least in Japan, IS is twice as popular as EP.
Maybe in the West, because I think Innocent Sin is liked way more in Japan. Eternal Punishment did so badly in Japan that it pretty much put the franchise on ice, and it is why Hashino had the freedom he had with P3.

I'm playing P3R for like 5 hours and even if it's a good looking game, P3R have the same problems that made me drop the original game.
Tartaros fricking sucks and it's repetitive as frick, it's like they took Persona 5 and removed the interesting parts, bosses, dungeons per bosses, demons, even the majority of the confidants are bland.
The game can sell well, but still is inferior to P5/P5R, they lost the oportunity to make it less repetitive and the dungeons more interesting with Palaces. No one plays P5 just for Mementos.
Tartarus fricking mogs palaces lol. Palaces are so poorly designed and annoying as frick to navigate.
Atlus has a very stern sort of stance when it comes to remakes or enhanced version. They don't set out to change things, but only set out to either add things or try to enhance things. It's good for people who don't want to see a FF7 Remake situation for a Persona game, but it has its own downsides as well.
I like Reload, but I knew I was essentially getting P3 with a new coat of paint which is why I'm glad there is going to be a new Hashino game by the end of this year because P6 is a year or 2 away.
They could have given it more of an "updated release" treatment and added a bit more shit. I'm not even asking for anything too extravagant, but it'd be nice to visit Aigis on Christmas Eve or to go somewhere other than Iwatodai Station when hanging out with friends.
Many people prefer PSP Persona, shorter dungeons, less time in walking in daytime, difficulties can be switched at any time and quick saving.
What are you talking about OP? P5 bros fricking won. They changed the entire gameplay of 3 to P5 gameplay so us P5 chads can enjoy it.
>still no crack
Piratebros... we lost.........
Theres still no crack for P5R, you'll be waiting forever
Only two individuals crack Denuvo these days. One exclusively cracks Football Simulator, the other doesn't seem to give a shit about weeb games and mostly prioritizes western AAA titles, and has also been radio silent for the last couple months.
The only nitpick I have with Reload was the approach to the intro and awakening cutscenes. Even with the higher budget the remade scenes don't really have the same impact. Do the later cutscenes in Reload have the same level of directing?
there's not very many of them. shinji's death hit harder for me than the original and that's an in-engine cutscene.
>Oniichan daisuke
Nanako is yesterday’s garbage. Maiko chan is my imouto now
Switchbros... the game hasn't bombed, so Atlus has no reason to port the game to Switch anymore...
If I’m only going to play P4 or P3 which should I pick?
depends a bit, P3R is probably a definitive content complete Persona game. P4 vanilla is great but Golden is locked to upscaled vita graphics.
P4G is still my favorite persona game, even after Reloaded since my vita was my only friend at college. P3R is a pretty mature/dark story where you dont really make friends with your party members cause you're trying to save the world from being destroyed while Persona 4 is the literal power of friendship and the stakes arent as high so theres more time to fool around and get a scooter license.
So I'd probably base it on how you want your jrpg to be, but P3R is so fricking good I wish we would get P4G remake proper
Persona 6 postponed until Persona 4 remake and Persona 4 Arena remastered
Should I buy P4 before they neuter that in the remake?
>P-Persona 5 bros
Why are you acting like Persona 5 wasn't the on that brought the series to the mainstream making this possible. If it reaches ten million like 5 then I would be impressed.
Is it just me or does may go really fast ? Felt like it only took 1/3 of the time as April. Maybe it’s because of the midterm section
Im having fun, but I also bought Yakuza Infinite Wealth which arrives today. Will be good weekend
you know it's a red flag when esg games keep flounting milestone numbers early on
or maybe they are just proud? Its fastest selling persona title and its also atlus biggest launch on steam with peak players. P5 also passed 10mil sales
Honestly don’t see any reason to play until it’s like $10 because I already played it 16 years ago.
Is it worth hanging out with Koromaru whenever possible? All I’ve been getting is random cards and gems
If you mean going for walks, then not really. You’ll get an item and maybe a boost to one of daytime links if you’re lucky.
Brushing and watching TV are worthwhile, since they unlock Koromaru’s passive skill. They also give some social stats.
Pseudo-S.Link events (daytime, exclamation mark) are also worthwhile. One of them gives a base stat boost to Cerberus.
no. just watch the event and reload your save
Who keeps making this exact same thread over and over? Vidya butts gets deleted and this crap gets to stay up?
>have Koromaru in pt
>80% of Fuuka lines is now about Koromaru
>arf arf
>KORO CHAN FOUND A SHADOW/CHEST/STAIRS!!! GOOD BOY KORO-CHAN!
Hope there will be a mod to make Fuuka shut the frick up.
He got so many good stuffs compared to everybody else its absolutely insane.
>Auto Tarubellion
Is there an armor that is Auto-Revolution?
Havent seen one yet but I doubt it
Lame.
There's no such thing as Auto Revolution. Plus you do know that Revolution affect enemies too, right?
Null Physical makes it pointless for the enemy.
Not for your party. Also you can't even get Null Phys until level 90.
STAY FRICKING JELLY.
>sorry, chihiro... you're a good friend. I just want to fuse melchizedek
So I have max charm and courage but academics still sitting at 4 at the end of august. What’s the best way to pump academics without wasting too much time?
arcade on wednesdays and saturdays
movie on saturday
wakatsu on monday thursday friday sunday
academics software on lobby computer whenever
these all give +4 points
wakatsu seafood course give two points and have like %1 of giving you three
arcade your answer
computer have some cd for academics
reading with your teammates align it so you will get needed social links points with fuuka
doing anything else is a waste of time and will lock you out of 100%
Im playing through 3, are 4 and 5 worth playing as well?
If you like 3 currently then you might like the later ones because the format doesn't really change.
absolutely
Yes. P5 is the best one overall. It does way more to weave your social life into the dungeon gameplay. P4 is nice, too, but the end twist/final boss is just so bad it's baffling so it ends on a less enjoyable way than P3 & P5.
yes they're all good and the same shit so you'll likely enjoy them. don't pay attention to gays that feel the need to only like one of them and put the others down. but also maybe space them out.
gl with that. academics need around 270 poitns to max, courage and charm around 70 and 80 each
I wanna replace Akihiko with Koromaru. The dog's coming with me.
Koromaru is broken in Reload.
Why?
I got him recently and put him on the team, can see how he breaks the game by end game, currently he runs out of sp very fast and has 0 support skills
He's not particularly helpful outside of Debilitate and his second Theurgy. Also his Theurgy charges slowly against bosses because bosses have no weaknesses to exploit. You can really tell that they deliberately gimped him due to how broken his Theurgy is.
It's weird how they didn't do the same for Yukari, but then again Yukari doesn't have Debilitate.
>debilitate
Oh, that alone makes him above most of the party members. Also his second theu doubles everyones next physical attack? Is that just the default attack or does it effect physical persona skills? Im guessing both since your making it seem its like the ladder
It's full party Charge. Yukari has full party Concentrate.
Seems like he got the Naoto treatment. Very cool.
You have issues.
>ToTop
Lmao
>Not being able to harshly reject her.
You point out this is yet another disingenuous israelite trick, because p3r is the ONLY persona game to have a simultaneous worldwide release on all platforms including pc, so such a statement comparing it to games like p5 which had a 6 month gap between jap and western release,on playstation only, is intellectually dishonest.
That would be my, an intellectual's, response.
you're not wrong but cool it with the israelite hate
>game sells more when it's released on multiple platforms and at the same time instead of having to wait months or years for a translation
Maybe Square Enix should take a hint. Also this pretty much squashes all those rumors about p6 being a snoystation exclusive.
What are they going to change about The Answer, bros? Between the datamine and the game's initial success, I feel it's guaranteed to be coming at this point.
Probably not a ton? There's no way they're spending a substantial amount of money on it. Most of the budget's probably go to the cutscenes and voiced dialogue.
Like realistically, what's there to add? The entire premise of The Answer is that the party is just trapped in the dorm. They can only enter the Abyss of Time.
would make it more impactful if we got to see the nightmarish scenario of them realizing door is dead on that rooftop
Any games like persona but without/ minimal combat? It's the least interesting part so far (10 hours in).
shitty VNs
persona has carved out a niche because it mixes JRPG with adventure/VN
Is there any reason to do the events with your party members at the dorm?
The gardening one is decent since it gives you more harvest, not sure if they stack though, the cooking one is pretty bad since it only gives a single healing item, while the watching DVDs and reading books are straight up inferior to just eating out at restaurants since they only give a single stat point while eating gives two.
They unlock Personas.
After doing any event 3 times you get an upgrade for that party member
i WILL romance aegis
i WILL romance yukari
i WILL frick liz
the other girls will get shot down, thanks for the upgraded persona
im gonna say it. minato arisato needs to close his puckered lips
It's kinda weird how Aigis can just use the protagonist's Ultimate Personas without any S.Links.
Is it just me or does every single boss in mid/late game Tartarus have Masakunda+Full party status ailment with 100% accuracy and Mahama/Mamudo? It's getting a bit ridiculous.
>There's a rivalry with Atlus' other game in the same series
People get uppity about the most moronic shit
I always believed in you.
yum
>I will never get to marry Yukari and have her make me homecooked meals every day
Is there any downsides of romancing all the girls?
you break more hearts harder.
That's fine, I can just play Persona 5 and steal their hearts.
>I am a shadow... the true self
What the frick did Takaya mean by this?
does this mean square enix will let us have turn based final fantasies again?
>1mill
>on 3 platforms
>good
Turn based tards being delusional as always
>1 million sales in one week
>made by a team of interns on a shoestring budget
Yep, it is a financial success, which is why they already "leaked" that a P2 and P4 remake is in the works. Literally printing money.
Ah, is that why the asset and lighting looked like a PS2 game.
Looked nothing like a PS2 game to me.
That's because you've been consuming nothing but JRPGs with PS2 tier asset.
Or you've never seen an actual PS2 game in action.
Ryza sold less than a mil in much more time and still managed to get sequels.
Fortnite and Genshin brainrotted everyone's brains into thinking if a game doesn't sell 1 billion, it's a failure.
FF7R's combat is way too fricking good to give it up. In fact, every FF game from now on should have FF7R's combat.
Can you swap to the original songs?
Every new version I have heard has sounded really bad.
I grabbed a mod from nexus yesterday that replaced them with the old ones, but it's been nuked already. I'll post a mega once I get back home if no one else has done it by then
How you made it work anon? The game says that I also have the other bgms from the dlc and I can't change the songs, I need to change in game?

Holy frick they nuked the nexus link already
I just told people to download it this very morning
Thanks for the backup friend
I dont understand why anyone uses nexus anymore, just use banana
GB banned all OG soundtrack mods
The OG music mod is only possible because it's uploaded in nexus
Yes nexus is bad but GB is a fricking shithole
oh thats what GB should for, moron here, thought the site was always called Bananamods. Guess we need a new mod site then
I just spent 30 minutes trying to beat the Guardian team of that lady with 0 weaknesses and 2 Hulk Hogans
after 3 failed attempts, I won with 2/4 members with 10% of their health
I had FUN the entire time
I really should play more jRPGs, I like the genre quite a lot
I just charmed the 2 Hulk Hogans after they had buffed up and watch them beat the b***h and themselves to death
DISTURBING THE PEEEEACE
heh
thats kino
Protip, usually the enemies and bosses of Tartarus are designed around the abillities of the most recent party member added
also if bosses dont have any weaknesses you can usually just status them for crits, Distress is great
I don't understand the weird imbalance in phys skills. Brave Blade is objectively better than Primal Force. Why?
Tendiesisters... we've failed to make it flop.
since when cards can increase the stats of teammates? Seems like a cheat but a welcome one
DISTURBING THE PEEEAAAACCCCEEEEE

>P-Persona 5 bros…o-our response!?
how can you like P5 but not like P3? it's literally the same fricking game
Fights inside a Franchise are common
most Final Fantasy 8 fans hate FF9 fans and vice versa. i have no idea why
is persona really the only game where you fight and date chicks
Im sure there are some spike chunsoft games that do that, I would rather just play persona though. But Persona is noteable for actually lettng you date girls vs jrpg where you just have a harem but nothing actually happens
BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY
Surely Devil Survivor 3 soon with all this success
Trans rights!
There are no trannies in this game
Yes there are (you) are the troony
But FeMC and her cancerous fanbase aren't in this version.
Ah SHIT I forgot this moron existed.
Pretty devious locking Helel behind this waste of air
I watched this guy's trailer, thought "man I don't remember him at all" and then completely forgot him again until seeing this image. Truly the most forgettable character.
I finished the game hour ago and already forgot what his deal was, thanks for Armageddon though
>I know I said that I wanted to be friends, but... actually, I want to be more than that.
Suddenly gay
Big gays to the Persona community
Dude he's like your mom.
No, you're technically his mom
Any signs of aigisbro...?
He might come back tomorrow, I'm gonna lurk the next two days and pray.
>I might come around to doing another gifting round next weekend
He can't keep doing this, why is nobody stopping him? He'll starve for us at this rate.
Where is Jackson-Kun?
WHEN THE FRICK IS FUUKA JOINING. IT’S ABOUT TO BE JUNE. I WANT TO DOT ON THE CUTE AND SICKLY FLUFFY GIRL. I WANT TO PAT HER HEAD.
>June
Anon you're already in the month where she does it. Just play until the next full moon
Damn, Merciless is really tough, I think I'll just avoid all the red enemies since they can easily kill you in one turn if they get a crit or hit your party's weakness and get an extra turn.
How am I supposed to deal with enemies with no elemental weaknesses other than hoping for a random crit?
Equip a persona with high Agi so you get to act first. Debuffs are your friends, early on red enemies are vulnerable to CC aswell so try casting Pulinpa, Marin Karin,...
IT'S BEEN A GOOD DAY, GOOD NIGHT
IT'S GONNA BE A GOOD DAY, GOOD NIGHT
Only played just this and Persona 5. Royal. I'm liking this far more than Persona 5. I unironically enjoy Tartarus than P5's dungeons. Also you can chose the MC to be straight up a fricking sociapathic butthole. You can blame kid for their parent's divorce, laugh at horny friend whe he got broken hearted, and literally gaslight a injured dude to give it up.
OG Tartarus was a maze which sucked, in Reload it's more like a looping corridor.
Mementos >>> Tartarus
There are better ways to bump a thread besides bait
I fricking LOVE P3’s ost
Master of Shadow is a kino boss theme and gets me hyped every time
This entire scene was fricking kino, the tension here is much worse than the original. I'm feeling nervous and hopeless like them.
I love her...
You're feelings for her are not real
new portraits are so good, multiple blushing portraits really help since they couldn't really use yukari's grinning blush portraits sometimes in the original
FES upscaled looks pretty neat, wish we got a P4G style remaster for FES (in ADDITION to Reload), just as an option, and for preservation purposes if anything. FES screenshots look cool, but the game runs like dogshit on the emulator, 30 fps lock + insane menu lag.
I'm pretty sure the reason they ported portable instead of FES is because they actually lost the source code for FES and just didn't want to bother trying to get around that
>insane menu lag
that's the game itself. Can't speed up animations
>death is coming and you can't do nothing to stop it
>next day the plants are also dead
Kino
Pre-final city in P3 is fricking kino. P4 and P5 not even close.
I agree P3 nails the towards the climax angle best, but P4 city covered in fog with no background music and p5 being made public enemy number 1 and only being able to sneak around not even go to school were still both pretty kino.
Really don’t understand people who keep going “MAN P3’S FINAL MONTH IS SO BORING BRO!”
One of the best buildups to a finale I’ve seen in vidya, Anon was right, P4 and P5 lack so hard in their final months because they’re a mess compared to P3’s ending
Plot wise P3 is miles ahead 4 and 5, especially when SEES personal struggles are not tied to the MC and they grow up on their own.
This is still the most baffling change Atlus has made to the series. The MC should live in that world to help change it, not the world revolving around the MC every waking moment
Akihiko’s awakening scene being in private was what made it so memorable and kino.
Now imagine the same scene except Makoto is standing there nodding and telling Akihiko what he should feel so he would awaken. And you got P4/5…
It's a video game. The game's world and elements reflect your actions and your choices. P3 was interesting because it was all in on the sim angle and did weird shit like making your party members uncontrollable. But 4 and 5 are much better games for how they develop the Social Link system for the game part of the game.
Disagree with that take
but the MCs only really help Yosuke, Ryuji and Ann with their initial awakenings which are the equivalents of P3's ultimates
I think the problem lies on the philosophy behind the party members. In 4 and 5, they are the focus of the story where they get their designated spotlight and development, while the rest is tied to how well you accomplish it, making your relationship to that person important matter gameplay wise with the final reward being their improved persona. This also comes at the cost of them fading in the background of the main story after their focus in the story is removed. In 3, while they get less one on one character interactions, them being independent from your own progress makes them much better at working with the overall story.
There should be a middle ground where you can interact with them properly and tie that to the gameplay without that meaning that they just become a gimmicky cheerleader during the serious scenes.

What do you choose here bros? These options make no sense.
Obvious the second one, why wouldn't you do it?
You say lock your doors, what kind of answer is that?
Well anon, I don't why anyone would suggest locking the doors after his girlfriend said in no uncertain terms that she wants him to frick her in her parents house.
He's suggesting to lock the door because she said there's a rapist near her neighbourhood or something
basically this
the interpretation is confusing with the full context of the conversation
It didn't matter, she WANTS you to stay so you'll fricking stay
Chihiro also said her mom isn't there so they can do whatever they want, fricking thirsty prostitutes man
>I just need to know that you only have eyes for me
I hope that line is carefully omitted if you are on multiple dating routes. It would be a shame if 6 girls suddenly show up at the funeral al claiming to be Door's girlfriend.
He didn't need to choose because she said afterwards that they wouldn't get scolded to make so much noise because her parents aren't there kek
>P-Persona 5 bros…o-our response!?

IS THERE ANY WAY TO SAVE DISPLAY SETTINGS UPON EXIT?
I'm so tired of having to change my monitor to my TV every single time I boot up the game.
do you connect/disconnect your tv after booting up your pc?
i have 2 monitors and the settings save just fine
Only thing I do is turn off the TV but the display is still active. Weird.
i think turning on the TV after booting fricks up unreal engine's display addressing or some shit, so it resets the settings thinking you changed your display configuration
i had this problem once when i reconnected my monitor when the pc was on
Steam forums are full of people losing their saves, is this really a thing and should I wait for a patch before continuing my playthrough?
I lost my save for other games today. Cloud save is gone and local save says it was updated 2 days ago. Steam is fricking with everyone
would launching the games directly through the exe avoid this issue?
really?

i playing on a single device, local saves should be fine
https://steamcommunity.com/app/2161700/discussions/0/4206994023676141576/
interesting, someone said that you should close the game properly from the title screen, i always do that
why do atlus never add exit to desktop to their menus
Dancing games on PC when?
Probably a few months after the last set of DLCs for Reload are released. Acting as buffer until the next remake or ports get announced.
soon hopefully
afaik dancing vita emulation still barely works
is it me or is the ost not as good as the original?

The problem with just be friends in persona is that they don't write anything special if you go for a monogamous girlfriend. like her showing up in a special late game scene or something in your darkest hour. They just write sad cheater scenes to punish you for harem

They will because they quite literally have a team sitting around made for doing remakes now.
i was stupid enough to not wait and play P3 portable recently and just finished it yesterday.
The raw feels during the ending... I'll have to delay playing Reload. That is legitimately one of the best ending sequences of all time and I haven't even seen the good version (FES)

Actually disgusting. I was contemplating not paying for P5 just because of the voice actors they chose for the remake of P3. I hope the vast majority of those sales were from Japs and not Westerners with no taste or souls.
