So P3P is not worth playing at all? I like Persona on the go

As a supplemental game to play once you've finished FES, it's passable

As your first time playing P3? Not on your life. FES is always the winner

>>258138530
Well for me its currently the latter so yeah thanks.

>>258138530
What? My first Persona/SMT related game was P3P. No immersion bullshit was broken for me what so ever. Its easily my favorite game of all time in fact

>>258138949
I'm not the OP and never implied it broke any immersion but FES is the better game, why shouldn't a newcomer to P3 play the best version of P3 first?

>>258138269
"muh immersion"
>>258138530
>>258139184
>no FemC
>best version

>>258139184
Because it objectively isn't? The refinements in P3P make it the better game. Like or not travel was actually quicker and the gameplay refinements made it similar to P4

its a visual novel version of persona 3 vanilla, but still keep the dungeon grinding for some reason.
persona 3 fes is actually a game and has a whole extra mode after the ending with more story/grinding.

>>258139576
Gonna have to disagree with you there chum. The VN style cutscenes ruin the game for me and all the difficulty is sucked right out the window by being able to control the party. If they had bothered to rebalance the game to account for this change, you'd be right. But they didn't and it makes the game painfully easy even on maniacs difficulty.

>FES
You can walk around normally outside of dungeons. There is no quick travel, its fucking tedious as shit. Cannot control party members in combat, hope they don't fuck you over

>P3P
You are a dot on the screen, so no free movement outside of dungeons. Quick travel. You can control party members in combat

P3P was the first Persona game I played because I was pirating top rated PSP games

Sank tons of time into multiple playthroughs.
VN cutscenes weren't as great as having animated scenes, but if you're really all about muh cinematics, watch the movies.

Same here. And you dont have to deal with Mitsuru going Marin Karin Crazy.

>>258140059
I thought the fast travel made everything feel so small and closed off. I never felt inconvenienced by having to walk somewhere in FES, but that's just me I guess. If you play RPGs for instant gratification, you're a person I truly do not comprehend.

Chie is a fucking slut. Just imagine the amount of sausage she had between those lips. She was probably the town bike before you came around and she was instantly lusting after your salami next.

Her phonenumber is probably all over public toilets with the annotation that she's willing to do anything for a beefbowl.

And remember those 3 guys from her S rank? As soon as you enter the train to go back home those guys probably rape her and NTR the shit out of her, turning her into a sexslave so they don't have to pay for the meat to take turns on her

>>258140059

Persona 3 Golden when?

Also, for all the people who complain about the lack of free movement in P3P, I would be willing to bet that we all made heavy use of the instant movement menu in P4G.

It's noticeable in P3P that the visual gags are missing and they aren't replaced with any narration. Walking in the city in FES feels comfy but it's missing from P3P. The story is one of the major parts in P3 and FES brings it out better.

If you don't care about the story and just want to play a dungeon crawler then P3P works better.

It's probably best to play when you're already a Persona fan.

>they supposedly butchered the immersion and story badly

The immersion being lost is overstated, and there's nothing different about the story.

>made up for it by letting you play as a female protagonist that's not even canon.

Canon in her own story. Just like the New Game+ alternate endings for the MC are canon to his particular story.

Btw, if you enjoy the social interaction in Persona, then playing as FemC is almost like a new game.

The game doesn't have The Answer, but that is definitely not something to be held against it.

It was the first Persona I finished after I dropped FES because I hated the noncontrollable party and running around town. Yeah it makes the battles easy, but if your game's difficulty hinges on whether Mitsuru uses Marin Karin or decides to actually heal you, the combat is shit to begin with. Also I got to play as a cute girl and polish Akihiko's punching bags so win/win.

>>258141270
Yeah, okay.

It's as shitty as Persona 3, but wastes less of your time time because everything is menu based.

Because of P3P I can't actually tell whether Chidori is supposed to still be alive or not.

The problem with the answer is that the plot is contained within the first 5% and the last 10%. The vast majority of the game is lazy padding. You'll spend twenty hours grinding, killing a dozen bosses, without any plot development whatsoever.

>>258142018
That was also in FES, though.

Wow, you're not just a faggot, but a stupid faggot. I said that the endings are canon for that story. That particular story.

And obviously I've cleared the Answer because I gave my opinion on it. And so did Atlus when they deemed it entirely unnecessary to include with the definitive version of Persona 3.

And just in case that's not clear enough: The Answer is spoonfed explanations, inapropos background dumps, contrived drama, grinding horseshit.

Almost all of them are different if you're playing as FeMC. Off the top of my head, only the old couple and Aigis are the same.

All of them are different for Femc, they added social links for all the SEES members, and Ryoji, only one I think both had was Pharos.

It's not really important or changes how we view the characters at all. After heading in to the Abyss, nothing develops until you fight NotMinato, and that's like 20+ hours in.

Yukari being a turbobitch is actually given explanation since she'd do anything just to be able to see MC one more time and was a perfect example of how intense emotion can overshadow peoples' rationality; i.e. characters are flawed and make lousy decisions. I disliked Yukari right up until the end of The Answer, where I felt I understood her a lot more.

Eh, it's mainly the fatigue system that will make the game feel harsher. Lack of direct control is no big deal most of the time.

I played them in a pretty weird order:
P4G>P3P>P4U>P3FES>P2:IS Portable
Overall I'd say P2 is my favorite overall but I loved all of the games, P3P is best for second playthroughs.

But i'd probably play P1 first,that battle theme is rad man.

It kinda matters if you play any of the sequels.

>>258145262
Probably because it is. You can't choose the difficulty level for it, it's locked to hard

>>258145365
But they've been pushing a real name and voice for the P3 protag for a while now. And considering the canonical nature of both Arenas, the existence of the P3 protag is integral to the many of the characters plot, and they all refer to that person as a him.

Both Persona and Nocturne are great.It would be foolish and childish not to play the other SMT games.

In Nocturne i have fun fighting the enemies while P3/P4 i would quickly as possible try to reach the top/end of the dungeon.
P3 was good and fun sometimes but i hate P4 dungeons,i didn't even bother to level everyone up to Level 99 because i hated them.

Tldr i like the fact that P3 has everything Nocturne lacks and that Nocturne has everything P3 lacks.

>>258146151
It's canon but its kind of not.

>>258145903
One thing that's great about P3P is how Aegis not only hates Ryouji, but is also super jealous of him.

>>258146040
Not for p4 protag, he's officially Yu Narukami, whereas P3 MC was Makoto Yuki in the movie, and Minato Arisato in the manga. And in teaser shots for PQ he was named Minato, but they later removed that. So he has no real official name.

Neither protag has a canon name. You pick one for him when you play the games. Animes and mangas are just adaptations of the games.

They chose Robin because it was the default name when you make a character, and it works for both Genders. Not just because a lot of people knew it. It's like how you can rename Tatsuya, but the default and canon name is Tatsuya.

However when persona 4 and persona 3 first came out, there was no standard or default name, unlike Awakening, and people would only know the name Yu Narukami or Minato or Souji because it's from the mangas/animes. They weren't well known fan names, or mentioned in the games at all.

More like it was Kaneko's artstyle, and people jumped to conclusions based on what you just said.

It helps if you realize that Nocturne was conceived as a spin-off called "Vortex World", and not a part of the mainline until later in production. Sort of the reverse of what happened to SJ.

Why do we get Toasters and Animals as party members but not Animaltoasters?

>>258140729
Except difficulty
and weapon types
and atmosphere
and the few anime cutscenes
and the actual in-game cutscenes
and the 3D world
and graphics

lol memes! But seriously, this game did not satisfy my desire for hot dickings.

Junpei: Can't date
Ken: You don't get to do lewd things with him because he's a kid
Shinji: Coma sex
Ryoji: Necrophilia
Theodore: Puts it in the wrong hole and pretends he meant to
Bebe: Can't date
Hidetoshi: Can't date
Mutasu: Can't be his special little girl
Tanaka: Can't be whored out by him to all of his business contacts
Akinari: Can't take his virginity before he dies

Akihiko is your only real boyfriend, and he's so awkward he never makes a move on you.

You do recall his whole S Link was about getting him back with his estranged family?

Getting him involved with a teen whore would probably not have impressed them.

You're also able to control your team mates in P3P, which is probably the main reason I prefer it over FES.

TO MUCH MARIN KARIN FOR YOU FGT?

When I play a turn based RPG, I prefer to have full control over how my team attacks/defends/heals.
If i want Yukari to do a wind attack on a specific enemy, I damn well better be able to do that.

That's why you go with Aigis and Elizabeth, who lets you touch her heartpussy and has sex with you after the date, respectively.

Well shit. I never picked Elizabeth as the attendant when I played as FemC.

>>258138530
I suggest playing P3P as female before P3:FES as the only male option simply so that when you play P3P it doesn't feel like a step down. P3:FES to P3P you'd notice the step down, do it in reverse and it feels like a step up.

My face is dicks of diamond

are there any issues with emulating P3:FES on pcsx2? i dont want to play it and then half way through there is a problem

All P3P had to do was use the existing 3d character models (which already exist for the main characters due to battle mode) on pre-rendered backdrops.

But no. It had to be a bunch of boring stills staring at you.

>>258175532
Well, thank you. I'm gonna train her right now.

Is P3:FES any kind of difficult to adapt to if you've only played P4G? I'd imagine it isn't, but when you're used to things like having full party control and being able to choose a Persona's moveset manually I still kinda wonder.

a very comfy way to replay the game if you already played FES. FeMC is fun. I don't know why people complain about canon in persona games.

>>258176036
FES is pretty easy enough but it will be harder than P4G. Just remember to use tactics and you'll avoid all the Marin Karin stories retards love posting
