Every Persona game ever >MC always encounters the person

>>376481220
>MC always encounters the person who will be the end boss, at the start of the game

Doesn't the kid in 3 not come until like halfway in

>>376481220
3 doesn't do that.

But it basically rips off Evangelion near the end anyway.

>>376481220
Is it not the journey that matters?

>>376481220
Sure, let's just ignore 1 and 2.

>>376481220


I don't remember most of those in Persona 1 and 2.

>>376481640

Ryuji is at the half way point, kiddie him is at the start.

>>376481836
>>376481640
Isn't the kid who gives you the contract the baddie.

>>376481921
>>376482018
literally who

>>376481220
>Igor portrayed as a smart and clever man in all the games he shows up in, acting as a guide for the MC
>Suddenly he's a bitch in 5

ruined

>>376481220
the gas station guy wasn't part of the plot in p4 initially, was he?

>>is a nobody/outcast that nobody likes

Im sorry I couldn't hear you over the sound of being one of the most successful and influential people on the planet

>>376482072
>this is the actual state of persona now
SOCIAL LINKSSSS were a mistake.

Why isn't Igor anyone's husbando?

>>376482053
Nyx is the baddie, he just summons him

>>376481220
And 1 and 2 completely contradict this.

>>376482117
>minion/aspect of philemon gets fucked over by aspect of nyarly
sounds about right actually

>>376482187
Nose is too big. Also he isn't real, he's your imaginary friend.
>>376482192
Nyx is his fault then, he's the real bad guy.
Why didn't they just shoot him.

>>376482192

>And 1 and 2 completely contradict this.

Most of them. You do meet the final boss at the start of 1 though.

This is now a Persona 1/2 thread! Who is the most handsome, talented Persona character, and why is it Eikichi Mishina?

>>376481220
>is a nobody/outcast that nobody likes

Eat shit King Moron.

>>376482272
That's the bad ending.

>>376482192
Nah you meet mamma's boy's half brother pretty early in 1
Or Maki depending on how you look at it I guess

>>376482316
>nb4 someone posts a picture of his ultimate persona and calls it crap
Eikichi did blue hair best.

>>376482272
>Why didn't they just shoot him
but you can

>>376482316
I'm happy this image exists

>>376481220
>>is a nobody/outcast that nobody likes
Boy with Earring was pretty popular I thought
>>slowly gets to know a group of friends within a year
P1 takes place over a fairly short period of time
>>they all get powers that they can use in certain situations (in one particular after midnight, in the TV, in an alternate reality opened up by a phone app)
Deva Engine shenanigans doesn't quite fit in my opinion but I can see somone spinning it for your argument
>>there will always be a token animal/robot/nonhuman playable character
The closest P1 has is the Maki TWEEST or Brown.
>>after defeating the big bad boss, the group is disbanded/no longer have access to their powers, but they remain friends forever.
Haven't played P2 so idk

They all still have their Personas and occasionally help kick ass.

>>376482593
Man P2 cast had it rough, even when they're works of fiction no one remembers them.

>>376482117
t. never finished the game

>>376483182
Igor is a bitch in P5 bro.

>>376483258
But you finished the game right?

>>376482593
>after defeating the big bad boss, the group is disbanded/no longer have access to their powers, but they remain friends forever.

True to the first part, not the second

>>376483373
Yeah.

>>376483415
Then you know that you're not talking to Igor for the majority of the game then, right?

Ryoji is the kid with the prison PJ's that tell you to sign your name at the start of the game

it makes sense for no one to like or care about you at the start of the game
you spend the game upping attributes like charm and people like you more

>>376483502
To be fair 3,4,5 are detached from the first 3, and it's not like you can do a formula for 1, IS and EP outside of "Nyarlathotep is revealed to be behind everything"

>>376483713
Persona didn't start with 3, and Nyarly's meme magic won't make it so.

>>376482316
>doing Tatsuya's dungeon
>get to the end
>decision point
>"My heart belongs to Eikichi!"
>party laughs it off
>locked out of all romance

IS is the cruelest Persona.

>>376483494
He was Demiurge's buttslut for 99% of the game he's a bitch bro

>>376483805
Does Eikichi laugh it off too?
That's 2 cruel.

>>376482316
>dressing androgynously with stupid hair and makeup is a rough street-punk type thing to do
This feels dated in a good way

>>376483850
>made morgana
>didn't make morgana female
Real spoilers here. This is why Igor is a bitch.

>>376483794
fuck your irrelevant games
no one cares

>>376483794
Yaldy is literally poor man's Nyar though

>>376483979
>wah wah don't talk about games I don't like

>>376483949
IS was an old game anon. They were both allowed and capable at the time of making it good.

>>376483719
>To be fair 3,4,5 are detached from the first 3
Canonically they take place in the same universe as EP and P3's TV confirms that

>>376481220
No you described P3 onwards. AKA: baby's first JRPG

>>376483979
>irrelevant games
We're trying to not talk about Persona 3 and after.

>>376484091
Well yeah.
IS may as well just not exist.

>>376484091
I mean their formula. There's no more butterfly mask dude, Nyarly who you just know to be behind everything ready to asspul twist out of his ass, and a cast that actually stays relevant until throughout the game

>>376481220
things that dont happen in 1 and 2. in 3 they didnt disband and they still have access to their powers.

I still think Innocent Sin followed by Eternal Punishment is cool as fuck for a naming convention
maybe I'm just a big ol dweeb though

>>376484260
Nyarly and Philemon will never be back anon. We have to let go, they got too btfo.

>>376484367
>they still have access to their powers
Does it even count with an evoker?

>>376484492
They always used an evoker. So yeah, it fucking counts.

>>376484548
Fuuka didn't need it. And neither did any of the older casts.
How can they keep what most of them didn't really have in the first place?

>>376484420
Why is Lavenza the butterfly anyways? Is Phil just dead now?

>>376484492
They can apparently summon without an Evoker if they concentrate hard enough. Hell, Fuuka's so goddamn powerful she can summon her persona in the real world without using any external influence.

>>376482276
Well you can meet Kandori before going to hospital but most people miss that little event. So it'd be 3 dungeons into the SEBEC route before you see Kandori.

>>376481220
>games of a series are serial

WOW

it's alright when japan does it!

>>376484749
Also yes I realized I had a brain fart but technically he can be the final boss if you some how managed to get the bad ending.

>>376484378
Well and it also fits the theme of the games which are written as a duology from the get go

>>376484625
Regardless my point is op is wrong

That's a weird way of spelling Katsuya "I love cats, my brother, and making pies" Suou.

>>376485010
No, it's a really sensible way of spelling "Eikichi 'Michel' Mishina"

>>376485130
I wonder if Tatsuya is on the computer again.

>>376482316
I feel bad that Eikichi didn't get a rehash version of himself in P5.
>>376484378
Me too.
