boo hoo

You can play the PSP version if you want

>>377780959
>he can't into tactics
As expected of a faggot secondary.

Just play the PSP port of P3. You can control your teammates in that one, plus you can play the game as a girl if you want with different social links and music.

Keep playing and find out

Also git gud

>>377780959
What is FES?

Is emulation the best way to play P3 and P4 /v/? I don't own a PS2 or PS Vita

its kinda hard going back to previous persona considering theyve been improving the series.

>>377781151
Just buy a Vita
Best place to play 2, 3, and 4

>>377781017
>>377781069
You should only play the PSP version after finishing FES. Direct command is a nice addition but everything outside of tartarus is a 2D sprite and the story is told in a VN style. It sacrifices a lot of the game's impact when everything is told through portraits.

Well if OP is gonna be that anally crusaded about not controlling his teammates, he has it as another option.

>>377781162
I don't understand the problem with Tartarus. I blew through each section in one visit (most times) and was free to work on personal stats and S.Links for the rest of the night.

>>377781279
Honestly thinking of doing that, but it's a lot of money.

>i have never dropped a game so fast in my life until i played this turd. how the fuck can ANYONE defend this?
It's not that bad once you get used to them, and they speed up combat at that point too. People are just used to gimmick bosses in persona 5 where losing control of your party would mean instadeath because you have to deliberately control everyone to build around the boss patterns/gimmick.

Stop being a casual and play 1 and 2

>/v/ unanimously agrees that 3 is better than the other two

[Citation Needed]

P3 is good if your favorite part of 5 was Mementos and you wished it was 4x longer and mandatory.

The theme of the Fool's Journey is stronger than 4 but weaker than 5's (the group in 5 have come together from a shared reason and all have themed Persona, very cool).

The plot literally doesn't exist until the very end of the game where it's all dumped on you at once, you head off to what is quite possibly the most underwhelming final boss fight in the series and get a pretty decent/moving ending.

And then one of the most touching moments in the game is undone in FES by literal magic.

And then the good parts of the ending are undone and retconned in the abysmal (canon) epilogue, which goes against everything you were told previously and introduces another never before seen enemy as the real boss and makes your sacrifice at the end of 3 feel fucking dumb.

Remember: The entire plot kicks off because a massive group of smart, well funded scientists decided to cause the apocalypse and end the world.

And literally only one of them, in the entire group, didn't want to die and kill everyone on earth.

To reiterate the scientist point. Remember all the fear about the Large Hadron Collider?

Imagine if the team had found out that the fears were real, it would create a black hole, and kill everyone on earth. They knew this would happen for sure.

And then they went ahead and did it, explicitly for that reason. Not for science, literally to kill everyone.

And only one person in the entire team disagreed with this.

(BTW: The company thar hired these scientists and then covered all this up, acting with literally zero oversight, are the good guys. And then they betray you again :^))

>>377783115
Well at least the apocalypse themes fit with MegaTen as a whole.

>>377784628
Tactics memory is off by default in the configurations and many people just assume teammate priority gets reset every battle, they should have just left tactics memory on instead. No one wants to change that shit all the time.

>>377780959
Why don't you play real SMT, like Nocturne or Strange Journey?

>>377781287
>It sacrifices a lot of the game's impact when everything is told through portraits.

"a lot of the game's impact"

It's the exact same game but with a lower budget and gameplay improvements. Persona 3 is not nearly as good looking as Personas 4 and 5. You don't miss out on much by the game being uglier.

>>377780959
Don't listen to these retards.

Three is fucking garbage and anyone that says it was better needs to kill themselves.

People only latch on to 3 because it was the first Persona game they played. Also it's not as popular as 4 or on everyone's mind like 5.

Persona 3 sucks half the time. Mainly because of the difficulty curves, the bullshit bosses, and the grinding.

>inb4 no grinding u just suck
>inb4 git gud

I blew through 4 bosses at a time until i got stuck, had to grind, beat it, repeat. Not to mention i got to Nyx at level 64, when practically impossible to defeat her under 72. You can not tell me there is no grinding involved.

>>377781287

You only have to farm for new personas and the 1-2 levels to actually fuse them, I don't recall ever bothering to level up for boss fights. Other than that just kill 90% of the shadows on the way up and you're golden, hell I usually run past at least 50% of them.

It's even easier in 4, you don't ever have to fight regular shadows for anything except quests if you just aim for Golden Hands.

>when practically impossible to defeat her under 72.
Nah, you should be able to then too. Granted it'd take a lot longer though.

>>377780959
You haven't truly played Persona until you Diarahan Nyx at least once desu.

She's only good for giving social links to the male party members

And as you look to the horizon, not a cloud
But then stormy weather's caught you cold
Seems like it crept up out of nowhere
All around you, it's not quite what you foretold

Compared to

You know the stake is high stardom is near
Those who sympathized you die killers pass by
Do not waste your time in hating flirting guys
Use your might to AIs do justice to them all

One is noticeably more coherent than the other

>>377789273
Those are all worse, especially the last one, holy shit I hated the second half of the game because of that

PS2 emulation works fine for both games but you should try to find a way to play P4G. Look for a cheap Vita TV.

>>377783115
Mementos is mandatory

>the fags in this thread actually defending your party being controlled by AI

what the fuck is even the gameplay if 3/4 of your party isnt even controlled by you

do any persona fans care about fucking gameplay in the slightest?
