I also play AAA dudebro games with my friends when they come over, and do little tournaments with them on fighting games, our favourites for that being Smash Bros. (both Melee and Brawl)

I like gameplay, both the challenge and the mindless fun. I can also appreciate why story, atmosphere, characterization and style can also be very important.

I... I just like video games, anon.

SMT4 just felt really mediocre and couldn't suck me in like the other games.
It honestly feels the other way around if you ask me. Like, them making SMT4 was pretty much just a way to go "are you faggots happy now?" and make more money on the side for more Persona shit. Especially considering all the DLC it had.
Don't get me wrong; I love both Persona and mainline. I just feel like Atlus is too far gone now that they've had such a massive success and can never again be the bro-tier developer they used to be.

>>255959828
THEN IT'S EVEN WORSE!

FF has never really appealed to me that much, and most people agree that it's shit now.

DQ is great, but so much of it is Japan only, or feels very dated.

The old SMT games never feel dated enough to put me off, most of then have great fan-translations, or localized remakes, and I think the series is still surviving even without the intervention of Persona.

This. Both of which have potential to be OP as fuck in the first game, Multi-strike particularly if you have pierce to go with it.

Yeah, I mean, sure, if by "persona 1 and 2 have common elements of the parent series" you mean that they have nothing in fucking common with the parent series, I guess you're right.

>>255966601
Persona 1 has fusing, has both original and designs from megaten, combat system was weird tough, but the dungeon crawling was pure SMT.
It also had multiple endings, even if they were mostly bad/good ones, and also had the whole game split into 2.
Purse owner 1 was literally SMT If... 2.

It IS the most SMT related out of all the Persona games, and it's still not THAT related, which just goes to show how far removed from SMT both P2s are.

Grinding in P3 was pretty easy, reason why Messiah is kinda ignored is that he's not even the real ultimate persona (orpheus telos being it) and that most of his skills outside magic skill boost are shit.

now for some hot opinions:
Eikichi is the best bro of all time forever fuck Yosuke Junpei is cool too I guess but not as good as Baofu or Eikichi or Katsuya

the s links are fun and shit in p3 and I just treat it like its own game instead of an SMT game

P2 is perfect except for the persona rank system/cards, that shit is way too grindy (even though it's not THAT bad to get personae, ranking up is shittier than shit)

P2 has way better plot and characters than any of the other games but is bogged down by high encounters/slow battles
