GuestReally gotta keep it going going
Deep down yeah knowing knowing
What’s gonna happen next? Don’t know
Can’t keep my eyes closed oh man it’s gone
Looked everywhere for my identity
Hooked everywhere did I belong to an entity?
I don’t know where have I gone wrong?
Wanna try me but you only got hate
Only interested in my fate
And insincerity’s not my way
Any interference dodge them away
Let there be light
In the dark night
Gotta get it back it’s time I get it back
I wanna bring it back to the good old days-

Guest>The PSX version isn’t very hard either
I’m aware (which is why the difficulty nerf in the PSP version is so baffling to me), but I’d still say the PSX version of IS gave me at least more trouble than say 4 Golden and 5I wonder, is P1 PSP also easier than the PS1/Revelations version? I always thought it was way too easy, even in the Snow Queen route it’s almost impossible to die
It is, but it’s not as braindead as IS was.

Guest>but I’d still say the PSX version of IS gave me at least more trouble than say 4 Golden and 5
melanoid I played large parts of PS1 IS at 300 FPS just mashing buttons like a retard because it pretty much did not matter what you did, at all. It’s the absolute most braindead Persona game of them all. Even 1 had some highlights like some incubi or whatever charming your entire part and raping you in the process during your first turn.
EP was at least much less button mashy because they probably realized they were retarded in IS and actually added enemies with different reflects early on, which basically meant you are going to die if you mash like a retard.-

GuestMark unironically looks better as a blackie and Elly looks better blonde, to be honest. Original mark looks like garbage, and original Elly is just kinda boring more than anything else. Not to say they make any sense whatsoever setting wise, it was a retarded choice by the localization team. Still, visually they were better.

GuestSorry. She just really doesn’t come off as noteworthy as she is supposed to be compared to the rest of the cast when she just has an everyday japanesse girl look to herself.
Obviously that’s the whole stigma japanesse girls have to undergo to begin with and might even be an accurate part to her character being obsessed with standing out and being prettier than the rest since you can put twenty asian women in one room and lose your own child amongst them, but strictly speaking from an aesthetic point she just comes off better blonde to me. Aryan beauty standards are hard to shake off.

GuestThe thing with the original localization is that they were trying their damndest to make it Not Japan despite you know, Japanese high school, shrines, etc. Basically doing what Phoenix Wright did years before he was a thing. They didn’t even fully commit to it as Yuki and several other characters weren’t modified to make them less Japanese.

GuestThat reminds me that P1 had the best Velvet Room and Persona creating cutscene in the series. That chaotic music with the blowing wind while the two cards fuse into a Persona and Igor makes a phone call followed by the calm music while the new Persona greets you was so nice. I also missed how Personas had wills of their own in the first two games compared to 3 and 4 as sometimes one will pop out during negotiations and ask it’s kin to cooperate and they’ll happily give you their cards/items.

Guest>Also the only edgy party member in P3 is Shinji who has his reasons for being a jerk.
This. I’ve never really understood at all the reputation of P3 characters being edgy. It’s always confused me more than anything because of how upbeat and energetic most of the cast tends to be. I’m assuming the design of the MC is what leads people to assume that? Because I can’t think of anything about Yukari, Junpei, Mitsuru, Akihiko, or any of the other characters that would come off as remotely edgy.-

GuestP3 introduced the cringe but kept the gritty and edgelordliness mixed with cosmic horror. It kept in line with Persona expectations of doing something weird/new every time a new game came out.
P4 and P5 get shit because after they hit popularity with P3, they simply stopped trying and regurgitated the same effortless shit over and over and over without even bothering to change the angle, formula, characters or setting in any way or angle, while simultaneously cutting down on everything that still gave the setting a semblance of seriety in flavour of teenage angst.-

GuestP3 to me feels like the last time Persona did anything that felt new and refreshing for the series. Everything that came after it feels like it just focused too much on refining what P3 established and did well rather than taking any risks like 3 did. Not to say 4&5 are bad games, but I feel like they don’t do anything to stand out as much.

GuestI like it more than 4 and 5, even though it’s kinda flawed. It felt like it was trying different things, they had an interesting theme with memento mori and it feels like everything you do in the game relates to it. I basically consider it to be a different, unrelated thing to 1 and 2 though, even if it references things like Nanjo and Nyx.
4 and 5 were just kind of uninteresting to me, and I’ve never finished 5. I just want to go to dungeons and shoot demons, not go through hours of visual novel/social simulation crap. I’m the kind of person who enjoyed The Answer, because it was basically P3 with that crap cut out.
