What's so good about Persona? Is it a JRPG/Dating sim? Should

>>376085417
It's basically a VN with some shitty dungeon crawling and turn-based combat

Doesn't matter which one you start with since the stories aren't connected

>>376085417
only play P3P If you want a shitty VN with walking around ristricted to only dungeon try to emulate P3FES

>>376085417
The PSP version is graphically worse than the PS2 version. It's a combination of dungeon crawler and social life sim.

Each game has its own story so go in any order, but the older ones don't have the better mechanics introduced in newer versions.

>>376085417
It's a game where you pretend to have friends and a good high school experience. You will also fall in love with a 2d girl

If you want to play the best persona, get persona 2 Innocent sin on your psp.

>>376085579
Except Eternal Punishment and Innocent Sin.
3 and FES
4 and Golden

>>376085661
unless you want to play as a girl I guess that's what P3P adds

>>376085584
Its a shitty vn either way.

You're damn right it does. Don't you forget it.

You can also control your party members

>>376085417
For me it's turn based dungeon crawling that I actually enjoy, even though I have to grind through monotonous day to day life stuff.
The alternatives for turn based dungeon crawling I just don't like, such as SMT being exclusively on handhelds, those games just have zero effort put into them.

>>376085982
It's not that bad. P3 is built with AI party members in mind anyway, which is why MC is so much more flexible than the other protagonists.

>>376085417
the series after 2 is waifushit, 1 and 2 are good games, 3, 4, and 5 are guilty pleasures.

I honestly never had problems with not being able to control your characters in P3. Then again not a whole lot of shit bothers me.

>>376085417
I'm pretty sure that the Social Link stuff is better in P3P, or at the least the girl MC one's are. Been playing through FES and a lot of these Social Links make me want to put a bullet in my brain because they're so mind-numbing.

>>376086107
>1 and 2 are good games
You've never played the first three.

>>376086223
Sounds like you never played them or megaten for that matter

>>376086194
The only good male MC link is Sun

>>376086223
What's so good about 3-5? it's literally just hit-weakness = hit-weakness again. Even Nocturne had more depth.

>>376086361
Hermit, faggot.

>>376085584
>AI party members who play the game for you
Yawn

>>376086368
No bro, it gets better when mind charge > megidolaon
Almighty was a mistake

>>376086561
It's better in Apocolypse where it isn't the end all-be all of damage, but in any other Press Turn game it just makes the game way to easy. Especially with crazy things like almighty amp that shouldn't even exist.

>>376086539
>AI party members that constantly screw up and you have to babysit constantly

>>376086853
>Babysitting your party members.
>Not just finishing all fights by yourself faster than the enemies can hit your teammates.
Are you perhaps retarded?

>>376087326
I could just use Alice with Mudo Boost + Die For Me!!! if I wanted to cheese but that gets old

>>376087878
I'm convinced you don't know what cheesing is.

>>376086539
Splitting up makes Tartarus the best dungeon in the series because it's over the quickest.

>>376088919
>existing for as little time as possible makes it the best

>>376089335
Exactly.

>>376085417
It'S shitty VN with no gameplay
Play SMT games instead

Start with FES, it's the best first P3 experience.

Is Persona 3 really the greatest rpg story ever told?

>>376090042
Man I loved chilling out in the dorm.

>>376090174
I don't think anyone has ever said that.

It's my favorite nu-Persona story though.
