True, but FES is 99% vanilla P3 with only minor tweaks like not being able to enter Monad without taking out the Reaper. All the awful Re-release girl shit is basically on an entirely seperate campaign so you leave the original game pure and if you really want you can enter the new stuff separately. Golden and Royal should have been like this.
What's shitty about it? They're all well received JRPGs with questionable decisions on the upgraded version. All 6 games fall in that camp (most Atlus games fall in that camp)
Royal content is the only reason anyone should ever think about playing P5. Vanilla is trash and I'm so glad Hashino is shitting up Refantasy instead of P6.
Royal is trash. Abloo bloo muh villain with a noble intention. But it doesn't actually fit the rest of the story and is just a weird aside hamfisted halfway through the ending. Also terrible gameplay that breaks the game
Imagine complaining about more hours to play in an RPG. Sounds like you got filtered. I was able to beat Persona FES while still in high school at the time and still get my homework done. the only problem I ever ran to is that since I didn't know how long cutscenes were, there were times I was late by an hour to go to bed because I had to wait for a cutscene to finish so I can save my game.
>Way too long when compared to the average rpg
Huh? They're way shorter than the average RPG, man. >Go to school >Do S. Link >Next day >BUT I HAVE TO GO TO TARTARUS NOW AND THEN WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
That's like 2 hours maximum. 5 if grinding for Personae.
It's already too late for that at this point, but it doesn't really bother me because I mostly just play those games for the demon collecting and the life sim parts. The story is just there to give me the illusion that I'm doing all that for some greater purpose.
>P5R
Quickly becomes braindead easy, especially with the pre-installed DLC. Dialogue is too bloated. Still really satisfying to play and is the only Atlus game ever that actually feels triple-A. Great soundtrack. Love the Velvet room challenges. >P4G
Less interesting combat and dungeon crawling, and graphically kind of ugly, but technically harder (by virtue of bosses being health sponges) and Inaba is comfy. Pretty good soundtrack. >P3P
Shitty sound quality, shitty upscaling, lazy lack of new features in the rerelease, no animation whatsoever, fricked up the balancing of the original with haphazardly-added mechanics, and dungeon crawling is still a boring at best, infuriating at worse, chore. Female route is a cool novelty. Soundtrack is a mixed bag. >P5S
Pretty good for a b-movie version of P5 but the story is basically a rushed retread very obviously written by different people and afraid to advance the status quo. Mechanically pretty solid except for lack of SP and health sponge bosses. Really good soundtrack. >P4AU
Sort of a good deal for $20, you’re basically getting 2 different games, and the fighting game is pretty fully-fledged. Unfortunately, the (literal) visual novel suffers badly from fanfic-tier writing and is in general much, much longer than it needs to be to tell its story. Soundtrack is forgettable.
>the fighting game is pretty fully-fledged
lmao no, the online hasn't been functional since launch and their updates did nothing to fix the problem. it took them months to figure out how to add a fricking volume slider to the game. stop giving atlus money.
I was one of those people playing Strikers yesterday. Currently grinding for the last achievement (all bond skills maxed) and It's taking a lot longer than I thought.
This but unironically. >repeat your basic buff/heal/attack rotation through some of the most boring dungeons imaginable to read the next bit of a barely okay visual novel
Watch anime and/or play a real video game.
3 really nailed the mid-aughts edge in a way few other properties managed, that and it being brand new as far as the series in concerned made it incredibly novel.
4 took it in a vastly different direction, being pretty lighthearted in tone most of the time with only a few especially dark moments. That said, it was still a solid entry, though the magic had worn off.
5 just didn't have anything. 5 felt like they were trying to ape the feeling of 3 with the tone of 4 while masking it all in this veneer of "punk" style. And don't get me wrong, the menus, the music, the battle screen, they all have that "style" but when you look past it the game's just pretending to be what it wants to be. All the edges are sanded off to the point where even the P4-like tone breaks fall flat. Plus by this point the calendar system just feels superfluous, it did in 4 as well but them continuing it while simultaneously devaluing it even further hurts it so much more.
5 is a heist movie, the entire game is styled after Lupin the 3rd (and the original Arsene Lupin for that matter). It marries both the sim and dungeon crawling where all social links are intricately interconnected with your ability to crawl in the dungeon beyond minor exp and stat buffs. The way the social links play out, where they don't start as your friends but rather contracts of mutual ill-gotten gain and over the course of it become a true social link reverberate better than the old links ever did and tie into the ultimate message of the game that making connections is the true way to change the world.
Listen to the hospital and getting me sea level rise you must be killed and pulls the trigger blowing the soldier's brains out as they splatter against the wall street journal reported that the Raccoon has sex on 6/19/2023 you will die, are you prepared?
>Persona 3
Why is this game getting shilled so much officially? Like it got a whole dancing spinoff along with 5, two rereleases what the frick? Where is the rerelease for Persona 4? Where is the dancing game for Persona 4? It sold much better and has better characters and is more popular, the only thing it got was a fighting game spinoff that P3 took the spotlight of. Why didn't they shill persona 4 more?

i've got zero interest in persona though, seems like the girl version of this game concept
also why is there 8 million games in this series
Great series, all the entries are great. Vanilla versions are all superior though

I’m convinced there is one person who actively searches for every persona related thread on this board to post this shitty take on

Oh don't end my fav shin megami tensei 4 apocalypse like that
Way too long when compared to the average rpg
Calendar is a terrible idea
Writing is off
Everything is too chaste (yes 16 yo have intercourse)
Yeah, you pegged the reasons why I don't like them. I find it odd they're chaste though.
coomer opinion discarded
>Way too long when compared to the average rpg
60-80 hours? Seems fairly standard
>Seems fairly standard
Definitely not. "Standard" would be 30-40.
For a JRPG? No, not at all. 60 hours is pretty normal. Even most RGG games go over that mark.
>60 hours is pretty normal.
Not for the main game. If you're doing optional content, you can definitely hit that mark.
That's short for a JRPG
P5R by any metric doesn't take less than at least 95 hours to get to the ending let alone 100%ing it.
They are too long and not fun long like dragon quest but "ill make you lose time with these meaningless dialogues for hours" long.
I'm aware that this is a VN with JRPG sprinklers on it but it shouldn't be this way.
adhd zoomers cant handle games longer than 8 hours

That's like 2 hours maximum. 5 if grinding for Personae.
I want to marry and impregnate Mitsuru, Rise and Sae.
Also Sae not being a romance in Royal was the sole reason I never bought it.
I think I'm gonna get P4G later. It's the only one I haven't played yet and it's 16€ on the Switch eshop right now.
You're gonna get spoiled, dingus
A 70 hours game can be spoiled in too sentence:
- X is the killer
- the X you meet at the X of the game is X
Great story really.
>WOOOOW A MURDER MYSTERY CAN BE SPOILED BY REVEALING THE KILLER?!?!?!???
>the rest of the 99% of the game is pointless filler
It's already too late for that at this point, but it doesn't really bother me because I mostly just play those games for the demon collecting and the life sim parts. The story is just there to give me the illusion that I'm doing all that for some greater purpose.
Why are their heads so big?
So did atlus put the worst version of p3 (while also being a shitty port) on steam because of the remake?

Online works for me. But the games simple auto-combos and the auto-combos getting in the way of you doing things killed the fighting game for me.
>fighting game
>27 current players
26 other guys to fight is pretty high tbh
Really my mom wrestles with that many guys every other day in her room
c-can i be 27th?
only ever played 5 & 5R, so I won't speak on the rest of the series objectively, but from what I've seen they are solid games but over rated
Why hasn't P5R been cracked yet?
denuvo
pirates lost, get over it
I didn't know Persona was a battle royale that required to have an active online playerbase.
4 > 5 > 3
5>3>4
P4AU is the only good game in that image
I don't really like the soulless randomized dungeons of 4 I hope the 3 remake has unique ones like 5
I was one of those people playing Strikers yesterday. Currently grinding for the last achievement (all bond skills maxed) and It's taking a lot longer than I thought.
Another series without a single good game

ok. 5 was shit and atlus hasn't made anything good since. if you disagree you are a braindead zoomer.

On the Vita. Came out like 7 years ago
4 is pretty mid compared to 3 and 5
and there is persona 4 dancing, it just locked behind $100 bundle, sega is legit braindead
I'm in September in P3 and I'm pretty much convinced 4 is the worst of the 3 so far. Its not bad but its a lot more tedious
I’m in June in P3 and P4 is my favorite of the three so far
>Where's the rerelease for Persona 4?
Persona 4 Golden?
>WHere's the dancing game for Persona 4?
Persona 4: Dancing All Night?
I'm confused
Persona 4 dancing and persona 4 golden exist. Persona 4 was hypershilled what the frick are you on about?
Hax grabs Pretzel by the head and slams his wiener into his throat. Pretzel gags and sputters on Hax's wiener to no avail as Hax fricks his throat brutally.
Persona 3 barely got anything, P4 was shilled a ton after it released.
Here is your (you)
