>get proper dungeon crawling for the first time since the first Persona
>wow this isn't fun

Go play a visual novel or some shit

>>273762708
Please?

So is this game supposed to progress this slow? I'm only on the 2nd dungeon and have spent 10 hours on it.

It's been fun so far, just slow.

>>273762053

I'm quite the opposite.

I never knew I wanted to draw and customize my own maps. The Persona skin helped out with easing into it. Now I'm waiting for another ATLUS sale on the eShop.

I'm also playing it on Hard. Fuck Risky. Maybe for NG+.

>>273762053
i want to rape her butt with that corndog.

>>273762972
isn't that a good thing for a game to take long to beat? just take breaks if it seems to be dragging on

>>273762979
Is hard actually not hard but store prices are high like in Nocturne?

I picked Yu instead of Makoto because I like Yu's design better and didn't realize it would change the story that much

Now I have to hang out with P4's cast for the beginning of the game

How much did I fuck up?

>>273762972

This is how you spot P3/P4fags.

Ten hours in, you should be at the 3rd dungeon with a bunch of requests completed.

It's a 3DS game, there's no demon models to steal and Atlus don't have the money to make new ones, besides they'd slow the combat down and would look like shit.

I fucking hate the persona fanbase

>>273763090

No

Some people have jobs and school and shit

More than 20 hours for a single game is overkill

>>273763262
And yet, we knew all this before it came out. It's EO with a Persona skin, we knew this. If you bought it thinking anything different i'd say you're the fucking idiot.

>>273763315
I've always wondered who the noble voice actually is in that pic

>>273763483


I'm sorry I'm playing too fast; I've got a good rhythm going.

>>273763658
>said the guy complaining about people taking their time

>>273763253
I think average time with EO is around 40-60 hours, varying based on the game, the player's skill, and party set up.

If you're not running any of the cheese set-ups, it can take a good while to get anywhere in the first stratum of an EO, because you start off extremely weak. But by the second you should be able to hold your own, and have a general idea of what you can take down.

The same seems to be true here, although the floor-to-floor difficulty seems to jump a little more than EO, but that's likely because of the number of attack options you have, and the nature of the way combat differs from EO.

>>273763691

Thats ok, but you shouldn't shit on someone else without knowing how they play first. I'll bet you just stick to one main cast and ignore the rest, hell I heard the lower difficulties are so easy to stroll through.

I can squeeze in about 2 hours of video games per day during the week, maybe another 10 at the weekend.

An 80 hour game means playing it and only it for a month.

I'd be sick of it by the end of a fortnight, regardless of how good it is.

>>273762053

I love EO and I really enjoy this game, although it's not as good at EOIV. That being said it's leagues above P3/P4 as far as gameplay goes. I don't see how anyone can complain about Q having played P3/P4. Currently 20 hours in and on the double date dungeon on risky. I probably would be farther but quite a few of those 20 hours is me laying my 3DS down while I do other shit. That being said I'm incredibly surprised how much the game rewards you for beating an FOE, you get some crazy shit.

I love it. I prefer EO4 but this is is still good. I like making my own characters so that's the only real downside to PQ

Atlus are a fucking tiny company m8, they don't have the resources to commit to making 3D models of the hundreds of demon designs Persona uses for a game that will sell 300k, not everything has the budget of P5.
Besides, the game was developed by the EO team on the EO engine, they can't suddenly throw 3D exploration and combat into that thing and expect it to work

Naw, it's EO gameplay more than anything. I could see thinking it's SMT but map creation etc says otherwise.

Still, the gameplay is leagues above P3/P4. Whether it's just EO with a skin or not the characters act like how you'de expect the characters to act and the gameplay is really good. It's fun to see the P3/P4 cast interact.

I guess the Risky thing isn't exactly from EO. I thought it was a callback to P3 however. Either way I enjoy Risky, I don't see myself playing on any lower difficulty. The battle system is more like EO however. SP HP settings and the demon skills may be more akin to SMT but I would say stuff like the leader skill is EO. Either way all the elements it uses are great.

Mainline doesn't remove buffs one by one and in IV they don't run out unless a boss uses Dekunda which only a few bosses have

Are autistic P3fags this dense? Its universally agreed that P4's gameplay was its BIGGEST strength, even with an underwhelming story.

P3P is the only playable version of P3 to date, i'd guarantee that the port wouldn't have gotten its praise (visual novel shit aside) if it didn't take notes from P4's mechanics, which are factually superior to FES' FFXIII-tier dogshit combat.

I would've just ended up playing p3fes because I like to play shit in order and I hadn't heard of P1/P2 at the time

Personally love the dungeon crawling genre. Can't wait to pick my copy of this up, especially after all the time I've put into the EO series.

I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea, most of the games in this genre are pretty tough and your average video game player doesn't like to strategize so they think everything is beat with mindless hours of grinding.

>>273766682
Worst dungeon in the fucking series for sure.

I just started EO IV but I expect to receive Persona Q on Monday. Should I get through EO IV first or just tide myself over with other stuff until Monday? I need someone to make decisions for me.

>>273768824
It's a Persona game, I can't imagine that it'll be even remotely difficult. Guess I'll see when it comes in, though.

>>273768970
Personal bias, yes, play EO4. As someone who put 44 hours into the demo and another 130 hours into the actual game, it's great and has plenty of content.

>>273769041
I haven't gotten into the persona series yet. I've played SMT and EO. Most likely will get into it once I get a Vita.

>>273768970
I think you can get through PQ faster, unless you decide to play through both sides.
Either way, both are games to take your time with, so don't rush either to play the other. Try to get the most out of them. They have different battle gameplay, so feel free to play through them together.

>>273766870
>"babbies"
>The Untold series

sounds about right

Rei-chan is so kawaii like holy shit.

Got a question. The treasure chest that requires you to map the area to unlock. Do I have to walk over all the floor panels? 'Cause I tried just painting it in, but it looks like it didn't register. Am I using the wrong color for the floor or something?

>>273769041

The difficulty is okay, but I'm playing on Risky. It goes all over the place, they give you a lot of options and tools that make things easy, but at the same time enemies can end up squashing you like nothing. For example, one of the FOE in the second dungeon is downright menacing, but then the boss of the same dungeon goes down like a joke. The SP cost of skills is insane though. Power and Mind Charge cost 40 SP, mid tier elemental skills cost 28 SP, and so on and so on.

>>273769432

You have to walk on all of them. It's a bit tedious.

So this would be a good game for someone who doesn't like persona all that much, but thinks the opposite of the EO series?
Neato. I'll be picking this up then.

>>273768970
Honestly, I was worried I might be burned out, since I finished EO4 a few days before PQ came out.

But even if they're both dungeon crawlers and the battle system is essentially the same, the emphasis on pre-defined characters(in terms of personality and broader combat niches), and the "Boost" system, where hitting enemy weaknesses lets you use a special ability without the HP or SP cost the next turn, sort of PQ's version of Press-Turn, and Persona customization/fusion makes Persona Q a very different beast from Etrian Odyssey, in the sum of its parts.

I'd say just get as far as you can into EO4 before giving PQ a shot.

>>273769593

Maybe. If you don't like the characters of P3 or P4, you'll get annoyed by the side event stuff. The battles are mixed between EO and Persona. You have stuff like All Out Attack, knocking down enemies when you hit a weakness sometimes and assist attacks, but there's a lot of EO style skills like elemental links, chasers, binds and whatnot.

never played an EO game before, but I love smt/persona. really liking PQ so far and will probably pick up EO4 if the game play is similar.

will probably still duck out discussing them on /v/ because of threads like this. I'm a shit eating weeaboo but some people it are still off the deep end.

This thread is proof that this board is awful during they day. This game really surprised me how good it is. It took elements from the older Persona games, like elemental physical skills, first person dungeon crawling, and status effects actually being really damn useful, and putting it back into the newer Persona skin. Plus, the lack of social links lets the game actually be about RPG gameplay, and it's great. I like just having characters interact with each other without them having to bring up all their heavy stuff like I HATE MY MOM or whatever. Plus Shinjiro being in the whole game is great. His interactions with Akihiko are great.

what EO game should i start with?

i can only get the 3ds demos of untold and 4 because i have no money. are the games connected to each other

>>273770371
Shinjiro was 10/10 in this game. I like how he puts Akihiko in his place when he starts acting like a protein baby.

>>273762053
>no relationshits so not fun

>>273770521
Probably EOU as it has a complete remake of the first DS game.

>>273770521
There's some vague connections between each game that become mostly tenuous and cameos the further you get. It's really more of a "Hey thanks for sticking with the series this long" rather than actual continuity, so you can dive into 4 or Untold right away.

It's great so far, much better than SMT IV and slightly above EOIV in my opinion. Characters are reduced to their simplest expression in cutscenes but considering there's a lot more focus on the battle system it's cool.

I would have preferred complete control over both main and sub personas but it's already a great step from customization being restricted to the MC in 3 and 4.

>>273770371
>Plus Shinjiro being in the whole game is great. His interactions with Akihiko are great.

It's sad, this is most likely the last we'll ever see of him.

>>273770521
Not connected story-wise, but they do build off each other in terms of gameplay. You could either start with the best game, EO4, or you could start at the beginning with the remake, EOU. If you really can't wait and want to start now, you could emulate 1-3, but the first game is really broken. Some skills are needed to beat the game and some are completely useless.

We'll see more of him when FeMC becomes canon, right?

>>273770883
Most people agree with this and would recommend FES to someone playing P3 for the first time. P3P is really only if you absolutely can't play FES or if you want to play as a girl.

>>273770914
It's more like the first Persona in terms of difficulty. I've been playing on hard, so it's just a step above normal, but I've had to rely on panic spells a lot so far to get me out of shit. The game is tough but fair.

>>273770926

I'd actually argue that it's fine starting from 3, playing 4, then going back to the older games since the first three are so much different in terms of gameplay than the newer games. 3 and 4 are way too similar to go back between them, though.

I know it's shallow but the only first person dungeon crawler game I've ever managed to get into was Rance 6 and that's just because the Rance story is interesting enough to carry me to the end. All I want to do is see my little character model/sprite run around in the dungeon instead why couldnt they have done that.

It's a lot more forgiving than the EO games in that sense. Your main character should be good at just about everything, and most of the characters fill a certain role. If you're having trouble, you can just change their sub-persona to give them the skills they need, no leveling down needed.

No, he's the same as everyone else, but the MCs have higher stats than everyone else. P4MC is extremely balanced, while the P3MC has monster magic and agility with his only bad stat being endurance. You can mold them to suit whatever you need better than anyone else.

Been told PQ is really good. But I don't know. I like the SMT branch of the games more. I've been told while SMT uses demons and go for the whole mythical plots of killing gods and demons along with being more direct with settings, Persona uses embodiments of people's souls or something? All while doing the typical high school student anime cliche plot shit. Can't stand that crap. But I have not heard as much hype for a Persona game like PQ. Am I missing out at all?

>>273773478

Man, I love how goofy the lyrics are.

It's pretty decent but clearly inferior to EO games or Dungeon Travelers 2.
That being said it's infinitly better than Persona 3 or 4.

>>273773602
You will get more enjoyment by picking up 2 or 3 ds, 3ds EQ, SMT or just emulate the Persona games on PC than spending $50 + (there will be DLC) on this garbage.

Inferior persona game and a half ass EQ, avoid it as your first SMT game.

>>273774031
You're acting like they're forcing you to buy the DLC.

>>273773602

I'd say it's pretty good, although the little events can be a real drag for anyone that doesn't like it. That said, in some ways it feels like Untold Story mode done right. You're not forced into a certain party which can be a real drag for some people.

Kanji has by far the funniest lines in the game.

"Hey! It's one of 'em SOB's you guys keep talking about!"

Persona games are good, there's just a negative stigma against it because of /v/'s tendency to think in extremes. While 3 and 4 have more dialogue and time planning than dungeon-crawling, Persona Q's the opposite, it's nearly completely about the dungeon crawling.

Persona goes after a more personal message than the SMT games that are more about the epic clashing of law and chaos with humanity in between. 3 is about the inevitability of death and its effect on everyone (a bit like Majora's Mask in a way) and 4 is about mankind's inability to accept its own flaws. I dunno what's PQ about yet because there's not as much dialogue and it seems inconsequential.

>I like the SMT branch of the games
learn to read. Plus, SMTIV wasn't very good and Untold was less enjoyable than PQ in my opinion.

>>273773602
This is basically Persona 4.3: The Fan Service.

At least play one of above tittle first or just don't bother

>>273774031
I thought the DLC was just gonna be new navigators (Marie, Nanako, etc.)

>>273774031
what EQ game should I pick up

>>273763262
So it's Strange Journey: Persona Edition.

> bad

>>273770845
>EOIV
>Best

Nah, it had really simple maps, the least amount of content in an EO yet, and was by far the easiest game in the series. That said, i fucking love the game but I wouldn't call it the best.

>encounter a long game I can chip away at for weeks.
This. I'm planing to pick up a psvita and a couple vita games (like Persona 4 Golden, Freedom Wars and Gravity Rush) this Christmas. Nothing beats curling up in a warm room while it's cold, damp and icy outside and getting lost in a game for hours. Also gonna pick up Final Fantasy 10 HD.

>>273775743

I probably would call it the best if it fixed the difficulty and content at least. I'd still place it decently high though.

>>273776060
Same here. It's actually my second favorite.

>>273775152
Navigators and four Personas: Thanatos and Magatsu-Izanagi are $2 each, then Kaguya and Orpheus Telos are free.

What are the beatles weak to? I hate having to waste my revival beads when fighting them.

So it's like the older games? Yikes, gonna wait for P5.

I've been wondering, what the fuck is up with the DLC Atlus puts out? They don't pander to audience of their games at all.

Where is my Naoto Bikini DLC for Persona Ultimax? Where is my Yukiko in nothing but a towel DLC? WHERE IS MY LOVE HOTEL YUKARI EXTENDED EDITION WITH 5 MORE SECONDS OF SIDE BOOB ATLUS????

WHERE????????????

I'd like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Persona, is in fact, SMT/Persona, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Megami Ibunroku Persona. Persona is not a series unto itself, but rather another timeline of the fully functioning Megami Tensei Multiverse, made useful by the SMT Press Turn system, demons, and ideas comprising of a full game.

Many Persona players run a modified version of the MegaTen system every time they play, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the timeline of the MegaTen multiverse which is widely played today is often called “Persona”, and many of its players are not aware that it is basically a MegaTen game, developed by Atlus. There really is a Persona series, and these people are playing it, but it is just a part of the series they play.

Persona is a spinoff: It shares concepts with the rest of the MegaTen series. The spinoff is part of the series, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete multiverse. Persona is normally used in combination with the MegaTen multiverse: the whole game is basically Shin Megami Tensei with Persona added, thus making it SMT/Persona. All the so-called “Persona” games are really games of SMT/Persona.

Because they aren't Capcom-tier just yet.

>>273778173
Thanks for the wise words Richard.

Beautiful copy pasta, friend.

>>273778149
1 and 2 aren't canon and 3 rebooted the series so why should we care about them? Also they are edgy and grimdark so whatever

>>273778707
Only IS isn't canon (though for everything that matters it kinda is.

They aren't that grimdark either, just SMT in highschool.

>>273778707
IS is technically non-canon given what happened in EP, but Revelations and Eternal Punishment are still canon.
