Shin Megami Tensei: Persona Series - My every day life - Games

watched a video that was on the stream for P4A, looks rather great but just not a fan of fighting games due to being bad at them.

i picked up persona 3 off of the psn store and despite this being the first persona game i've played it's p. cool

I've seen persona 3 on the PSN store, I'll just watch for the latest persona game. I think I'll be able to dunk people pretty easily in this. Played too many fighting games, I've been waiting for something like this for a while.

[QUOTE=WearingNothing;36976643][IMG]http://localhostr.com/files/QvtgPJt/mi077_03.png[/IMG] I quite liked it, but my biggest problem was loads of the impact is gone because of the cut of models and cutscenes during events. Though, because of the gameplay changes in P3P and P4 I cant really play FES anymore.[/QUOTE] [img]http://www.niggaupload.com/images/cKd5s.gif[/img] Yeah, the lack of models does suck, but all the new sprites make up for it imo.

I meant in P3P. But if you did somehow mean P3P, what sprites? Although, I do like some of the sprites in P4A. [IMG]http://localhostr.com/files/5EoskWW/mitsuru-walk.gif[/IMG]

since i'm new to the series is there anything i should know

[QUOTE=NomadicNinja;36978991]since i'm new to the series is there anything i should know[/QUOTE] Not really. Persona 3 and 4 have nothing to do with the first 2 games so you're fine.

[QUOTE=NomadicNinja;36978991]since i'm new to the series is there anything i should know[/QUOTE] Only real suggestion I would have is, if you don't plan on playing Persona 3 Portable but instead P3FES, don't play Persona 4 first. The gameplay changes really spoil P3FES because of it.

[QUOTE=NomadicNinja;36978991]since i'm new to the series is there anything i should know[/QUOTE] I just got to real gameplay in P3 after 1 hours 21 minutes. P4 takes even longer.

i only picked up persona 3 fes off of the psn store i was hoping that persona 4 would be on the psn store but it isnt oh well

[QUOTE=WearingNothing;36979045]Only real suggestion I would have is, if you don't plan on playing Persona 3 Portable but instead P3FES, don't play Persona 4 first.

[QUOTE=Skidd;36979086]I played Persona 4 first and I still liked Persona 3 FES despite having no control over my party members.[/QUOTE] My biggest problem was the little things like having to talk to the party members to switch out equipment or use their skills outside of battle. Lots of little things that just make it feel much more tedious. However, I do like how the members move around during battle. Wish that P4 had that. Gave them a bit more life I guess.

[QUOTE=WearingNothing;36978944]Er, not sure if you are on the same page as me. I meant in P3P. But if you did somehow mean P3P, what sprites?[/QUOTE] Yeah, I'm still talking about P3P. I'm fairly certain Junpei, Akihiko and Shinjiro at least have a bunch of new sprites, I know Mitsuru's dad has more, Takaya and Chidori have more, and a bunch of minor characters who used to just have models got sprites as well.

But, its a bit of a small gain for the loss of how certain events go. Like the event after killing the 12 shadows for example.

At the very least, I figure it'll hold me over until Golden releases on Vita and I get to throw money towards Atlus. Also got Persona 1 and 2 off PSN for Vita during Atlus big summer sale, knowing full well they're not the same as 3 and 4. Hopefully that gamble pays off...

P4 Arena looks pretty good too, shame that it has to be released in Europe like a month after the US.

[QUOTE=Pinut;36977118]watched a video that was on the stream for P4A, looks rather great but just not a fan of fighting games due to being bad at them.[/QUOTE] But it's made for people who play Persona, which is the opposite of a fighting game, so it's super simplified.

i am getting raped by the dancing hands boss on floor 10 of tartarus FUCK what the hell am i gonna do

[QUOTE=NomadicNinja;36985362]i am getting raped by the dancing hands boss on floor 10 of tartarus FUCK what the hell am i gonna do[/QUOTE] Grind until you cant grind no more, also he is weak to strike damage. and boost Junpie's defense because magaru will end you

what does leveling charm, academics, and courage do?

[QUOTE=NomadicNinja;36985451]what does leveling charm, academics, and courage do?[/QUOTE] It gets you better social links and such, For example you can't get the lovers social link untill your charm is high enough.

is there a specific attribute i should be focusing on?

[QUOTE=NomadicNinja;36985576]is there a specific attribute i should be focusing on?[/QUOTE] You'll probably max them all out eventually but academics is important early on because exams, I'm about halfway through p3p and my stats are almost all maxed out.

[QUOTE=NomadicNinja;36985576]is there a specific attribute i should be focusing on?[/QUOTE] Personally I focused on Charm, but each of them correspond to different social links.

i honestly scoffed at these games before but now that i've tried them out they're pretty good there's just so many choices and decisions to make its bogglin my brain

i just wanna say this natural dancer is a stupid boss i solo'd him with the MC after getting a persona that was nul to garu, so literally the only thing i had to worry about was taking some damage and the damn thing using tetrakarn (attack mirror) on itself to make the fight go slower some of these tartarus bosses are jokes

i really like the ideas and designs behind the personas theres SO MANY OF THEM

[QUOTE=NomadicNinja;36985884]i really like the ideas and designs behind the personas theres SO MANY OF THEM[/QUOTE] a lot of them are based off of shin megami tensei enemies they are all great, except mara

i just like reading up on them and realizing that they're all mostly based upon religion or mythology
