Just started Persona 3. Should I go to the Tartarus everyday?

fuse personas for exp bonuses and to inherit adopt useful moves onto a new persona with useful base moves

no reason to fuse without first building social links unless it's to get a particular move onto another persona

No, only as much as you need to get to the next barrier. Probably 1-3 days each

Whichever ones you like

Fuse frequently and try to keep the good skills

Get a heart abbadon towards the end and get its item. Trust me, itll save you a possible headache

No, a few times in Tartarus per month is fine as long as you can make it to the gated off area each month, use evenings to raise your charm/courage/knowledge

School social links should done first, as there are tons of days later on where you can't do shit in school
Do the little girl in the park and the brown girl for a few ranks asap to unlock dying man and old monk
MMO link and dying man can only be done on Sundays (or vacation days for the MMO link), so be sure to do those

Just fuse shit that looks cool, if you fuck up you can always just pull shit back out of the compendium

If you're stuck on a boss with a weakness you can just tell everyone to do nothing and stunlock them with their weakness and not doing a followup attack

Persona is a game about your Persona and social links, not about YOU.

Level up social links, and fuse personas to get high level Personas.

Do NOT spend hours grinding Orpheus!

>>323607626
Go into Tartarus until you reach a gate and then ignore it until story prompts the gate to get unlocked, then repeat for the next gate. Other than that you should be primarily focusing on S Links. It's impossible to get all of them on 1st playthrough without using a guide by the wya.

Do Emperor and Strength social links
Emperor gives you Odin if memory serves haven't played this game in a while, who has Thunder Reign, elec skill that has a 100% guranteed Shock status ailment effect when you use it, and Strength gives you Thor who is all around good and resists Physical attacks I think, also has a nice phys skill but really shit magic stat, you need like level 60 and 50 for those two respectively though.

>>323608951
Chariot (Kaz) gives you Thor
I know because I disregarded brown girl

Jesus Christ thank you all guys, I'm shit at time managment and I was getting a little bit lost in this game after a couple of hours.

Thanks.

>>323608951
Go aaay john

>>323607626
Don't do that nigger, ever, Tartarus is just to level up a bit and not have problems with bosses later on, the only important thing is getting your stats high as possible, as some of the social links are blocked behind your stats, for example if your academics is low you can't be with the red haired slut.
Always remember that Chihiro is best waifu.

Spam ramen, screw studying.

Why don't you just play the fucking game instead of asking for /v/ to hold your hand you fucking cunt.

>>323607626
Why even bother, MC dies at the end whatever you do. Also, Shinji dies in October but you can save him if you're playing P3P as FeMC.

You only really need to go to Tartarus once week like on a Saturday.

And max out Hanged Man if you want Mara, the giant green penis on wheels.

>>323609696
DELETE THIS

>>323607626

Going to Tartarus every day will fuck your shit up, just climb as much as you possibly can then stop when you hit the limit. Shouldn't take long, three days max.

Do classmate social links first because they can't be done at all during time off.

Fuse personas regularly, rely on initial bonus EXP from social links to max Personas out rather than grinding.

>>323609615
I don't really like fucking up something at the beginning and then getting stuck at some strong boss at the end of the game.

Finish Star S.link as soon as posible
Climb up Tartarus until you reach a barrier, they get removed with each full moon, so you can pretty much do it in one night and leave the rest of the month to bond with people
Use tactics and scan enemies regulary, the AI benefits from this even if you can't see the enemy's weaknes.
Get Helel and Satan as soon as posible.

>>323609813
Literally impossible.

It's just a myth.

>>323609850
>Get the level 80+ superpersona's as soon as possible

>>323607626
Discard all your other Personas once you get Beelzebub.

Don't feel like you need to grind to much because you can beat the final boss at like 60~

If you're not playing portable then remember not to get too frustrated at the ally AI, because you can do just about everything yourself anyways

Yukari best girl

Have fun

Trumpeter can literally carry you through the back half of the game. When you get near the end keep Cybele handy unless you run dual healers. Yukari a shit. Don't let /v/ guilt trip you into using stupei if you don't like him.

What's wrong with Junpei? I mean he's still a very viable option compared to Koro or Ken.

The GOAT team is Mitsuru, Aigis, Yukari/Akihiko

A lot of people see Junpei as the pinnacle of bro and some people don't.

Hello?

Having a Persona of an S link's arcana gives you more points when you hang out with them

Please no arguing guys. Let OP pick for himself in the end, who he likes, and that's it. They're all good in their own way.

Also another tip is to have multiple save files, in case things happen that you don't have favorable spread out, and you can go back to a previous date. Time management and all.

Aigis was one of the best party members and had one of better AI's.
Those buffs and debuffs were really nice and she used her skills in a smart way.

I went with Aegis, Akihiko and Yukari. Aegis for buffs, Akihiko for debuffs, Yukari for healing and Minato's revolving door of Personas murders everything needs murdering.

>>323607626
FUSE PERSONAS
USE BUFFS
WIN

If you're emulating make save states during the final boss. It's not a particularly hard or fun fight, but its fucking long and you can get screwed by getting RNG'd with shitty ailments

>>323612351
pls dont start

theyre both the same game anyways

no they aren't. persona 4 is even more casualized game than persona 3, which was already pretty casual

Perhaps, but atleast in Persona 4 you don't have to play for 60 hours until the game gets a story. Persona 3 have no story except "go to Tartarus" and "kill big bad boss shadows" for 2/3rds of the game.

Do the S.links you like, don't worry about doing them all

Visit tartarus like everey 3 days or so

Always register before fusing

Always scan all the enemies, even bosses

Have fun

>>323613453
Persona 4's story is fucking garbage though

PLAY THE FUCKING GAME AND GET OFF OF /v/

Still better than a nonexistant story.

>>323607626
Turn your PS2/PSP/PS3/PC/whatever off and go play a real SMT instead of a visual novel spin-off.

Anon pls

Just hit mid September and I've got maxed stats and my night social links are almost maxed. I guess from here I just fuck around with my day S. Links and sleep or Tartarus at night?

I've got chariot and justice maxed and strength is around 9. Everything else is mixed up.

>>323607626
>Should I go to the Tartarus everyday?
kek

Go for it m98

Are there any annoying bugs or glitches when it comes to playing the Persona games on an emulator? I want to try getting into the series but I lost my PS2 ages ago.

>>323614489
Persona 4s motion blur effect looks like total fucking trash at high resolution, besides that they all emulate fine

>>323614249
No it's not. In P4 you get involed from the get go with the double murders. The story keeps you interested and engages you throughout the entire game. In P4 you have literally nothing except "go to Tartarus" and "defeat boss ahdows" for most of the game, you then realize that you fucked up and have to defeat the big bad. It's a mess and I would not be surprised if OP quit before even getting there and drop Persona for good. I haven't even mentioned then that there's no S-links except for the female party members and that you are basically forced to romance all of them unless you ignore the S-links entirely.

>>323614607
*In P3 obviously.
*no S-links for the male party members.

>>323614489
Been replaying P3FES on an emulator, haven't encountered a bug at all, there is some slowdown during the classroom or auditorium scenes with choppy audio and all, but just throw on the fix in the menus and potentially use a different graphics plugin if I recall and it fixes it just fine.

>>323614489
depends if you consider unlocking the framerate to save yourself at least 10 hours a bug of glitch.

emulation is the way to go, fuck "running" like an old person in the dungeons

>>323607626
If you are on FES pay attention that S links have a Reverse countdown (google it the explanation is big).

Until they are maxed you will need a lot of time to raise Social Stats to unlock more S Links so visit Tartarus only once a month to clear quests, grind and farm money.

And bizarre as may look the arcade is the best way to raise Social Stats.

Literally tumblr bandwagon ITT

>>323615640
Persona threads are the most casual threads of a game worth playing on /v/, only here will you not be shat on for playing less than half of the series

>>323614607
>A double murder of two people that literally noone cares about and then a game of "I wonder who's gonna become a party member this month" and the "NO IT WAS ACTUALLY ME ALL ALONG" villain bonanza

And I prefer the actual characters not having S-links, at least that means they are able to actually develop throughout the story

Junpei best bro

>>323616520
Them having Social Links isn't necessarily a problem. In P3 the girl's social links were more like side development that didn't affect the story or their development in it. The P4 cast's development was pushed entirely to Social links.
