With all this persona love going around with the release of 5 I have become quite interested in playing the persona 2 series. Typically I hear the story is arguably the best of the series but that the gameplay is shallow, can I maybe get some better detail on this? Thoughts in general on P2?

Nothing? Really?

Playing through right now. The story is really good and the gameplay is just like any non-talus JRPG. The bad part and I mean close to unbearable is how slow the menus are combined with the high encounter rate.

I'd say its worth 1 play through but not an a 100% or really any extra content.
Most people are waiting for the translation of the PSP port of Eternal Punishment specifically because of UI fixes and not needing a guide to properly understand the plot because of poor localization of P1.
I know I'm on that boat.

I've tried to play this game 3 times now and every time I just get tired of the gameplay before I'm even out of the high school. It's really fucking boring.

Sorry, is the psp translations bad? I know the ps1 version of EP was censored but wasn't everything except hitler kept in the psp ports?
I really love how PSP ports look. Too bad its only rpgs using this engine.
P2 is ruined by dumb encounter chance system. I wonder if there are any patches to it.

Yeah. Try to go through it. It has a pretty good story
Also are you playing Innocent Sin?

Fatlus really fucked up the release of the P2 duology out here in the west. Best P2:EP edition is only on the PS1 and best P2:IS is on PSP.

Fuck off retard.
The game's story is handled differently from P3-P5
To make sure that characters get their best Persona, limit your actions when helping with their problems. The only way for people to grow is for them to face their personal problems independently, which the game wants you to do.
But make sure to stay with Yukino when she's grieving though.
