Story timing Megami Ibunroku -Persona- Be Your True Mind, the manga adaptation for Persona 1.
I played the game years ago but never read the manga, figured I'd share the experience with you nerds.
Lets get the ball rolling
There goes philemon
Mainline SMT is better.
Why the fuck would you get piercings as a kid?
>>154589166
It sure as fuck is, but Persona 1-2 are as close to mainline SMT as the series gets.
Nanjo is best boy
I hope it's at least somewhat interesting, unlike the game.
>>154589166
IVA exist
>>154589259
What about IVA?
>>154589250
I've read the manga a while ago. I had more fun with it than I did the game. It helps having more of a plot.
>>154589317
Reminder that Black Mark is best Mark
>>154589297
Is like the developers of the game never played a SMT before both bonds and Massacre endind are some of the most retarded shit in any SMT game.
Also the characters were shit
>>154589344
>the most retarded shit in any SMT game.
Can't be worse then Zelenin
I wish the Persona game was something the later games kept
still going?
>>154589445
>I wish the Persona game was something the later games kept
It was a retarded and lazy way to get your persona
>>154589482
Didn't have the page refreshed?
>>154589485
Better then shooting yourself in the head
>>154589445
Yeah they really added something to the setting. I liked them better than having them come out for no real defined reason, or accepting your "true self".
I always thought Philemon was cool
I felt the whole Persona thing worked better in 1-2, was definitely better explained. May as well just be stands in 3-4
As per usual sensei is hot
>We all had the same supernatural event happen to us
>We should go to the hospital
This makes sense
>>154589634
Sensei was best girl.
>>154589672
Aren't they always
Chapter end
Pretty uneventful first chapter
Chapter 2
>>154589724
You will never have a butler as based as Yamaoka.
>>154589852
BestPersona
Why do they ALWAYS tell the obviously evil guy that they're going to call police to their face?
>>154589593
P3 is where they started being influenced by JoJo rather than Jugian Mytho/Psychology.
P1 and P2 are full blown Jung with a bit of Lovecraft.
Also P2 is literally objectively superior to P1 in every single way.
Give me a link to the manga so I don't have to suffer through the thread btw.
Does the manga cover SQQ or only SEBEC route?
>>154589986
>with a bit of Lovecraft.
Nyarly appearing ''for the lulz'' is not a big of Lovecraft
Took long enough for shit to hit the fan
>>154589986
>Give me a link to the manga
I downloaded it all using a manga downloader called Hakuneko.
>>154590037It covers both. It works SQQ into the SEBEC route.
>>154590053
It is literally a bit, it's just one character from Lovecraft fiction and he's not even the actual Nyarly, just a human construct given shape by negative emotions and polar opposite to Philemon.
Persona's Nyarly is literally no different from /pol/'s meme magic chaos frog diety KEK
>>154590037
I wouldn't know but I'd imagine it only did the Sebec route. How would they do both routes in one manga?
>>154590114
Oh shit nice, I never did the SQQ so that'll be completely new for me
BEST BUTLER
I never understood how Persona got so popular.
SMT should be an autistic dungeon crawler, not a waifufest.
>>154590141
It's a little rushed compared to the game, but they work wit hit the best they can.
While following the same basic plot the manga handles things differently after the first few chapters, so even if you played the whole game it should still be pretty fresh.
>>154590197
High school life appeals to more people.
>>154590197
>SMT not a waifufest
>Muh demonfu
>IVA
I will never understand this complex that SMT fans have with the Persona series. Also talking abot the dungeons when P5 has some of the best in the series is just plain ignorance
STOP BEING A FAGGOT AND GIVE DOWNLOAD LINKS TO THE MANGA
>>154590307
this, make a mega of the entire thing please
>>154590296
The best dungeons on the series are on SJ.
Strange Journey was the logical conclusion to SMT, everything is downhill from there.
End of chapter 2
>>154590307
>>154590361
I already told you faggots how I got the manga
Do it yourself idiots
>>154590296
SMT always had waifus, but they aren't such a big focus.
>>154590296
P5 is literally the best thing that could've happened to Persona series since 2.
Both thematically and with atmosphere it's a lot like If.../P1/P2 rather than P3/P4, it takes the best part of 3/4 which is the greatly improved gameplay mechanics and improves them even further
Soundtrack is again a lot more about atmosphere and ambience without losing the "catchy" aspects just like the P1/P2 soundtracks
Hand crafted dungeons again rather than procedurally generated cancer of P3/P4
Generally P5 is without a shadow of a doubt GOTY material for me.
Chapter 3
>>154590454
The same goes for Persona, but hey people blow the SL out of proportion when the best SL aren't even female
I only took 3 chapters to finally see a Persona.Not counting Yamaoka.
>>154590495
>The shadow isn't Kongou's siluette
Wasted oportunitty desu
>>154590454
SMT proper has some pretty good waifus
>>154590522
Well 3&4 really made the waifushit apparent. No idea about 1&2 since I've barely started 1.
>>154590197
Every single SMT except SJ and Nocturne had a literal waifu for the MC.
You'd know that if you weren't a Nocturne/SJ baby.
It's Nocturne and SJ that are the outliers, not the other way around.
>>154590569
Agreed
Also Kongou is probably my 2nd favorite MC persona. Favorite being Apollo.

Well said kid.

I go with option #3

Fuck off.
>>154590680
Their wording is weird, I think they mean every protagonist had a love interest
>>154590680
SMT1, you have TWO destined waifus because you are the reincarnation of Adam.
You had Lilith who you canonically fucked in past life and then you had Futsuko/Heroine which is your literal destined waifu and you end with her canonically.
SMT2 again you have two destined waifus, Beth and Hiroko.
SMT4 Isabeau is canon Flynn's waifu as confirmed by Apocalypse.
And in Apocalypse you've got 3 waifus to pick.
>BBUT SMT HAS NO WAIFUS
Fucking Nocturnebabies.
>>154590549
Hey they needed to build up. In general the manga fleshes out it's story more than the actual game, so it has a bit of a slower pace.
>>154590727
Oh, then yeah. There is always a heroine.
These kind of final words seem more like a curse then anything
>>154590753
You worded your point badly sperglord. You made it sound like the MC WAS a waifu.
>>154590804
>waifu for the MC
>a destined female made specifically to be fucked by the MC
How does it feel to have shit for brains you nigger scum?
And he is rightbecause he becomes Nanjo's ultimate Persona. I thought this was really neat
>>154590753
Who cares about that Nocturne garbage, we are talking about SJ aka the greatest SMT game ever created.
RIP
>>154590754
And im fine with that. Its nice to see it isnt being rushed.
>>154590819
In your original post idiot
>>154590846
Way to ignore the point that Nocturne and SJ are both outliers.
Kaneko himself even said so.
>>154590846
>SJ aka the greatest SMT game ever created.
Good joke nigger
Man I miss this
Its nice that the heroes of P1 actually know about Philemon and the Velvet Room instead of it being an MC exclusive thing that he never tells anyone about.
>>154590895
Man poor Nanjo.
>>154590971
Cast of P5 also knows about it.
>P1/P2fags
>P3/P4fags
>P5fags
>SMTfags
>SJfags
This thread is like a mini-habitat of the SMT fanbase
>>154590990
P5 sounds like such a step up from the past 2 games. Wish I could play it.
>>154590990
THANK FUCK
I'm really looking forward to P5
>>154590971
But the P3 cast knows about the Velvet room too
>>154591012
>>154591022
Imagine if P5 came out right after P2, it actually feels like a next logical step after P2.
P3 and P4 feel like anime filler in comparison.
>>154591007
Watching the SMT fanbase attack itself is always really fun
>>154591045
They where never able to interact with it or see it IIRC.
>>154591012
Buy a PS triple they are cheap
>>154591012
Don't got a PS4 or at least a PS3? You can get a PS3 for cheap these days.
>>154591045
Only in PQ which is regarded as literally fanservice spinoff with 0 relevance to overall plot and worldbuilding + their memories of it are completely wiped by the end.
>>154591012
Do what >>154591086 said.
The game is identical on PS3 and PS4 anyway aside from resolution. Both are 30 FPS locked, there's no Pro enhancements whatsoever and the games are identical visually outside of resolution.
>>154591056
Hey now, P2 was anime as fuck too, all the games were
>>154591119
Akira and GitS were "anime" too, but P3/P4 (especially P4) is like late 00s modern anime shlock vs P1/P2's 80-90s excellency anime.
>>154591106
>Only in PQ
At the end of The Answer you dolt
>>154591106
>Only in PQ
That explains why I didn't remember them knowing about it. I was sure that the MC tried to tell them about it and they treated him like he was crazy.
>>154591163
The Answer is shit
>>154591007
The SMT fanbase is so broken that even Atlus won't dare to mix Personafags with SMTfags.
>>154591197
I know, but is also canon
>>154591086
>>154591098
>>154591106
I might buy one when I get some money. Worst case scenario I tell my friend to buy P5 and just play at his house.
>>154591119
I think he meant like it was a filler from an anime, not filler because its anime, and it is true that 3-4 are a massive tonal shift.
>>154591238
If your friend is a true friend, he'd just let you borrow his PS4 after he finishes playing himself.
Heck, you could say you'll pay for the game in exchange for him borrowing you the console for a month.
Chapter end
>>154591200
>that even Atlus won't dare to mix Personafags with SMTfags.
*that even Atlus won't dare to mix P3/4fags with everything else
Persona 1-2 don't even show up on the official Persona website.
Chapter 4
>>154591283
>Persona 1-2 don't even show up on the official Persona website.
They appeared in the 20 anniversary also P5 has costumes from P1 and P2 if that counts
>>154591283
I don't even know why 1 and 2 aren't there considering P5 is clearly influenced far more by 1/2 and general SMT than by 3/4.
The only concepts still intact from 3/4 are basically the gameplay mechanics and that's it.
Even guns are back, with live bullets.
>>154591283
>Go on Atlus website
>Search Persona
>SMTIV shows up
I had a chuckle
>>154591354
Atlus Murrika literally advertised SMT4 as "brand new game from the creators of Persona" and "The Dark Souls of Persona".
>>154591325
I forgot theres an actual P2 reference in the game
>>154591389
>"The Dark Souls of Persona"
Everytime
>>154591389
>"The Dark Souls of Persona".
That was a lone reviewer
>>154588883

>>154591434
Atlus put it in their official trailer collage which still counts as their advertising.

>>154591480
I hate P1P's opening
How much were you planning to post OP?
>>154591688
Until I go to sleep I guess, and I sleep really late
>>154591737
Guess I'm gonna get spoiled on some things then. Only up to where Yamoka died in the game.
Makes me think of Devil Survivor
>>154591802
Thats really damn early
>>154591850
Yeah I put it down a few weeks ago and never got back to it.
Chapter end
So do you guys prefer Persona having a human antagonist or a concepter/god as an antagonist
Chapter 5
She looks like she has bedroom eyes
>>154591928
>So do you guys prefer Persona having a human antagonist or a concepter/god as an antagonist
All the games have both so i don't really care, if the God fits the setting and is not hamfisted like in P4 then good
I wish Kaneko was also drawing manga on the side.
>>154590296
#FE dungeons are top tier to be honest, even if /v/ hates the game because it's not edgy.
>>154592080
Idols are trash, thats reason enough to hate it
>>154592080
The characters designs and idolshit are trash
>>154592292
>Smoking at school.
>Dyed blonde hair
Edgy.
>>154592421
I kind of like how they're actually playing up the "multiple facets of your personality" angle here, even if it's just in a small scene like this.
Chapter 6
>He has black Mark's hat
10/10
She is pretty cute dressed like that

I used to say a "George Michael wanabee" but that's all over now.
