3 best story and cast
5 best combat and gameplay mechanics
4 Worst cast (aside from kanji), mediocre mystery murder story, but comfy setting
>>
>>384004090
I like 4 the best. Comfy setting, probably the best of the three soundtracks (overall, not necessarily individual songs), and aside from the intro it had the best pacing.

3's story and characters were 2edgy4me and 5's pacing was all over the place with the endgame especially being a tedious slog.

3 had best premise
5 had best music, aesthetics
4 had best social links. As much as I liked the cast of 5, the confidant storylines mostly fell flat in comparison IMO
>>
>not counting 1&2
That's not fun OP
>>
>>384007304
I agree with the weak confidant story lines although it was more of a case of them hooting themselves in the foot.

Most of the confidants' stories had to be rail roaded into "Intro"->"Bad guy in my life" -> "Bad guy leaves thakns to momentos." Basically, they had to limit the way they told the story for momentos.

It also doesn't really feel like they grow or learn anything at all because their problem was mainly "bad guy in life" so when that was out of the way they were okay.
>>
>>384007735
Good point. I remember P4 storylines being surprisingly compelling, making me care about characters I thought were uninteresting. They were transformative and self-actualizing, the obstacles being themselves rather than a "bad guy". Played into the "journey of life" motif echoed by the use of the tarot, a motif I really missed in 5. The trickster theme was rad, but I think 4 felt more impactful and its themes were better arranged to set up the more satisfying conclusion.

This.

3 will always have the best cast and story. The only thing holding it back is its pacing, but let's not forget that every game in the series that utilizes the calendar has the same issue.

5 has phenomenal visuals and the best Persona combat. Not quite at the level of Nocturne, but still the best in this franchise.

4 is, although I hate to say this word, "comfy". It's relaxing, silly, and never takes itself too seriously. It is the defacto anime SoL game.

Don't listen to anyone telling you 3 is better,the 2 other are mechanically better, better pacing, more interesting social link and event.
The big thing 3 has is the overall theme and ending.

5 and 4 are the same thing, with different tones.

I tried 2 and it was pretty mediocre kinda of a worst than SMT and subpart persona= lmao, at least I am free from the P2 shiller since I know exactly what it is.
Still good to get some overall understanding on some theme but that's it, i wouldn't recommand it except if you have nothing to do with your time.

2 is probably the worst combat in the franchise for sure.

The only reason people should play it is because its plot and cast, at least in IS, are memorable.

>>384014081
I must be strange then, I kinda liked the combat with the fusion spell and stuff, even if it's a bit inconvenient and slow, it didn't bother me.

The problem was I didn't find most of the character that interesting, and the story did not really hit me, even if it was interesting premise.
I just remember punching the guy at the end to get me out of this nonsense.

5 best overall
4 best characters
3 best....i dunno music I guess
>>
>>384004090
3>4>5

I think 3 at least came with different surprises adn the dialogue was spaced out enough.
Plus I liked the characters and the looming atmosphere a lot.

P4 was comfy but I feel like I was playing the same copy and paste month afte a while because it was the same set up with people getting kidnapped, having those people face their shadow and then becoming really useless for the rest of the story.

P5 was very much like P4, but bigger. But bigger in bad ways too. Story is sluggish, character interactiosn are way too long etc.

Tokyo was a boring setting too. It always is. Until it becomes Neo Tokyo...Or Tokyo 2...
>>
>>384014081
>at least in IS
Aside from Maya turning into a non-character, I think I liked the EP cast more. They're both fantastic though.
P2 overall easily has the best casts in the series.

It's the game with the most casualized and watered down everything.
The setting is good, the characters range from ok to thrash, the direct control was a step up, but the combat was really watered down.
The pacing and story could be described as comfy, but it is also full of questionable plot holes.

Serious question guys, and this isn't about best girl, or best game, you don't have to like her, but answer this question honestly: Is there a more iconic Persona character than Chie? Again, this isn't about liking her best, but i can't think of a character who's style and pallete colours are more memorable and recognisable than hers.

I recognised Chie long before i even knew what Persona even was because her style pops out. If i had seen an artwork of yukiko posted over and over again i think i would have never remembered "generic anime girl" but Chie and her tracksuit are just super iconic i feel. Thoughts on this question?

Can't speak to 1 or 2, but the thread is clearly about 3 4 and 5.

>>384018646

Maybe it's because this is the only game where I could actually use all of them instead of benching a few, but I honestly prefer the PT crew to 3 or 4's.

>3
Yukari's a bitch, Junpei is a nonstop asshole, Ken is a big baby, Koromaru is a dog. The other 3 are alright if a little bland.

>4
I hate all of them. Every single one. They have stupid ideas, can't identify the obvious murderer, try to kill a guy at one stage and are genrally insufferable.

>5
They individually stop shining as the party gets bigger (Ryuji gets dumber and dumber as the plot progresses), but it's the first time it honestly feels like a group of friends. Ryuji and Ann banter is great, Makoto and Yusuke slot in perfectly and Haru (albeit suffering as "and here's this one") has a great s-link.

This is all personal opinion, but to me, 5 was definitely the best party.

>>384018463
Only thing 5 has going for it is combat and dungeons. In every other the game doesn't compare to it predecessors.

>>384018797

I think P2's dungeons were better, but I admit that one is just a matter of taste. I prefer dungeons that are actually locations in the real world instead where people go instead of all the fighting only taking place in some kind of alternate plane of existence a la midnight hour/TVland/metaverse.

I mean, can the P4/5 protagonists even summon their Personas in the real world? If not, then what's the fucking point?

P5 is my first Persona game. I'm starting the hamburger palace now, and love it so far. I just wish there wouldn't be so long visual novel sections between palaces. I mean, they are fun when there's content, like the Hawaii scene, but most of the time it just feels empty, especially when my confidant rank is not increasing. Yeah, I just rush through each palace in 3-4 days at max at the beginning of the month and I'm left alone with a lot of free time afterwards.

Aside from a PS4, I have a PSP and a 3DS. With that said, should I try out P4 portable next or Persona Q?
>>
5 > 3 > 4

4 is an underwritten mess that can't agree with how its main mechanic of Shadows work. It's easily the weakest, but it's still a phenomenal game. More than anything it's held back by being in an awkward position of having just introduced SLs being party members, so stuff like Yosuke's jealousy is written in such a way that it never appears in-story but is the basis for his entire Social Link, which makes it feel cheap and forced, especially considering Junpei did that exact story right last game. 3 is the best because I like it the most, simply.

Then either PQ or if you want more good persona games play the 2 duology and then 1 if you're desperate.

They are Igor/Philemon's special task force to kill big bad lump of human unconscious, so the priority is getting the job done. The P3-5 characters never meet Phil like P1-2 (only 1 in each team enter the Velvet Room and meet Igor even) does, which probably lead to them having persona in the real world

Also having your persona around probably isn't fun. Reiji is a shit salesman because his Mot spook people in 2

>>384019115
The reason why I enjoy SEES so much is because they're the only ones that really progress in terms of friendship as the game goes on.

These are a group of people that, except for based Shinji and Akihiko, would never be interacting with each other under any circumstances. But because they're brought together by unlikely circumstances, you and them need to work to form a connection. They have inter party drama, and not the half assed shit like Ryuji/Morgana. There's some real hatred going around. But eventually you learn to overcome that, and it becomes way more valuable. Junpei does a complete 360 as a character and becomes a level headed individual who in the end is the only sane person in The Answer. Yuka-tan identifies what makes her a bitch, and when we see her in Ultimax she's toned herself down. Ken, despite being obnoxious, learns to forgive and forget in order to keep living his life. Akihiko doubles down on getting stronger. Aigis stops being a robot.

P5 doesn't develop the relationships between it's party members nearly as much. The initial group has a very good dynamic, but each character brought in slowly waters that down and sometimes the interactions are just illogical. Why is Makoto jumping to help Futaba when she's awkward around people? Wouldn't that be Anne's job? What the fuck was up with them beating up Ryuji?

>>384019852
There's P3P, but don't play it as a first timer. It's visual-novelized, no 3d parts and no animu cutscenes.

You can easily emulate the PS2 versions of Persona 3 and 4, try PCSX2. A relatively decent pc is needed, but nothing much since pcsx2 is pretty much made FOR the persona games.
Also the P4 portable is a Vita game, not psp

tl;dr emulate persona3 and 4/play 4 on vita
>>
>>384019852
It's incredibly butchered. It's now basically a VN, with all free roaming removed entirely except in dungeons. It's basically a point and click game. The only thing it has over the PS2 version is a FeMC route, but it's incredibly barebones.

It's not terrible, but I would recommend emulating FES, the other version of P3.

Well then, I might get into emulation then. However I was considering getting a PS3 (an early model which can play P2 games as well). Because there are some games already which I missed and want to try out. Like Drakengard, Nier, Dragon's Crown, Silent Hill and now the Persona games just add to this list. So I might get one on one day and have the experience that way.

Thanks for the help!

Try fighting liz in 3.
Just you and her, constantly casts megidola, have to get two specific personas to make yourself invincible for a round because she has a true instant kill attack, when she gets to half hp she fully heals herself and you have to do an insanely buffed attack and use a calculator to know when.

No jokes Yu is the greatest example of how to do a video game character ever.

The only characters who don't develop and change before the end of Persona 3 is like Shinji, cause he dies, and the Dog, which is more than can be said for any character in 4 or 5. Yosuke has some good devolpment at the end of his S-link, almost Junpei tier, but since it's out of left field and forgotten instantly since non-female main party S-links are shit it's never brought up in the main story, and no one, not fucking anybody, develops in 5, besides maybe that one text from Ryuji at the end of the game about preferring the be a hero in the shadows.

I kind of like her that way... I know sluts get a hard time, but privatly sweet sluts do exist. The kind that get really affectionate with boys who show them affection and easily slip into trying to please them and be pleased by that most validating of activities: sex. I bet she gets let down a lot after time and time again, and the girls make fun if her behind her back, but she keeps falling into the same traps with cute boys who prefer her to Yukiko because Yukikio won't "give out" and in a brief moment of weakness, Chie feels superior to Yukiko but guilty afterwards.

That's what i think. I hope she gets her Narukami in the end. She is a good girl deep down, just a bit horny.

P4 has nothing to do with 3 storywise, and is often said to have a much better story. 3's social link schedule is also much tighter than 4's, although a perfect run is still possible. 3 isn't as comfy as 4 is, but the story actually takes itself seriously with the main characters not goofing off at every chance they get.

I completely agree with you. I only started playing the games in this series a couple months ago, and it's surprising how it felt like I already knew so many of these characters and their personalites. Junpei, Yukari, Kanji, Naoto, Adachi, and especially Chie were the most recognizable from spending time on /v/ and word of mouth.

On this subject, was anyone else around on 4chan in 2006 when Persona 3 released? This was the year I started browsing /v/ and some of the earliest memories of my time here were people up in arms about a protagonist from some JRPG being an edgy emo kid that shoots himself in the head, which finally clicked 11 years later that it was P3's MC. Was the reception of the game here not as positive as it is now, or did I just recall too many ancient shitposts?

Chie is so iconic that i instantly recognised someone wearing an EXACT replica of her tracksiut jacket conplete with vynil badges before i picked up Persona 4. I was like "oh, its that green tomboy that always gets posted on /v/ and danbooru."

Weirdly though, the person i see walking around with that jacket is a dude. Guess he really likes best girl.

Perky, short hair and tomboy. Also i like that kind of "pretty but thinks she is the underdog" kind of girl. And she has that thing so cool about itl tomboys where they feel like a close buddy, but get real as fuck when they discover you like them and act like a real girl does in private with you. It's nice to watch "bro" barriers come down off a girl when they show they want to be intimate with you.

Thats what i like about real life tomboys anyway, so Chie was the obvious choice.

You summed up my thoughts perfectly. I loved the dynamic of SEES. You would never expect them together, and there is real teen drama that you can expect. There's also a realistic evolution as the trust builds up.
I feel like people are too hard on Yukari. You could easily tell she has major insecurities, and in The Answer, she clearly loved Makoto the most.
Junpei had real envy for Makoto, like anyone else would, with his wild card abilities, but he learned to work through that. He is better than all the other bros because of that development. Even still, Ryuji is more of a bro who accepted his role from the getgo, and being an outsider before Joker arrived means that he wouldn't feel insecure or anything.
>>
>>384027208
You know, I have an odd respect for Risefags. They're wrong, obviously, and Chie is best. But there are no Yukikofags, and Naotofags are a quiet minority. Risefags are the only competition we Chiefags have.

I hate to defend the shitty party member development of the more recent games, but Rise's whole point is that she's a person with multiple faces. She doesn't feel comfortable letting everyone know the Rise that Narukami knows, so she pretends she hasn't changed at all.

Q is a weird game. It's canon, but it doesn't actually affect any of the other games. The story is far from good, but if you liked the characters then you'll like the game's writing enough.

As for combat, it's actually a modified version of another ATLUS series, EO, a dungeon crawler that you've probably heard of. It's considered to be the worst EO combat but people usually enjoy it.

>>384028235
It's just that the S-links are segregated from the story, so everyone suffers from that. Some to a greater extent than others.

The spin-offs could have actually handled all that, and they at least addressed them to a degree, but in the end they only turned the cast into one-liner spouting caricatures of themselves.

>>384029057
I still maintain that removing party member SLs entirely and instead integrating relationship opportunities into the game would be the method to go.
>>
>>384028935
But it's not earned. She latches right the fuck onto you from the word go. It's blatant fanservice, and it's the most basic type where it's just "look! the hot girl wants to fuck you!" You could replace her with a motivational poster and there'd be nothing lost there.
>>
>>384029057
Which is why P3 has a better cast. Shit, even P5 has the better approach of having most of the party S-links in the game deal with the characters learning to stop being misfits and improving themselves that way by mostly being about other people shaping their lives, like that asshole model, Makoto's friend or the guys from the running team. You don't feel it nearly as much as having Yosuke manifest jealousy during his S-link and then go right back to "HEY BEST FRIEND COME HAVE HALLOWEEN HI-JINKS, THANKS DUDE YOU ARE THE GREATEST PERSON EVER".
>>
>>384029179
Yu saved her life with his magic super powers and is the alpha guy who leads the team that accepts her as a friend despite knowing her darkest flaws.

And therein lies the heart of P4's problem. It fellates the player far to often, through their surrogate who is largely devoid of personality. Door-kun is a player surrogate too, but everyone distrusts and hates him to start with and you have to MAKE them love you. Everyone in P4 is handed to you on a plate with their asses in the air and their pants around their ankles, and it feels inorganic as fuck.

P5 making Joker an actual character is the best thing that could've happened to the series. He's a bit bare, but he's SOMEBODY, as opposed to NOBODY.

This picture makes me so hard

The look in her eye, you just KNOW they banged

Joker is known to be THE most hung guy in the Phantom Thieves, possibly one of the biggest in the world. His cock has been described as "like an evian bottle", with gargantual thickness that would rival Tatsuya and Door-kun. I'm estimating his size to be at least 8.5" bone pressed, with OVER 7" of girth. he would have absolutely destroyed Ann's pussy.

They would have spent hours and hours on foreplay, getting herself wet enough just so she can take it. I can just imagine her begging for it, with Joker barely able to force it past the knob, and Takamaki moaning and squirming, demanding him to force it in deeper. she would have orgasm'd within seconds of taking the entire length, being filled and stretched right up to her cervix. The orgasm would have been powerful, with her vaginal muscles clamping down on Joker's throbbing monstrosity, her whole body quivering in euphoria.

I bet she still masturbates to the memory of it.

5 started strong but its endgame felt rushed. I like the major twists at the end of 4 and 3.

>5 is pretty much a remix of 4's plot but with better characters and theming

Eh, debatable. Ryuji being the biggest retard of the series with Morgana sperging out all the time was ridiculous.

no shit, we all do but which do you think is the best. Everyone has a favorite even your parents

3's soundtrack and story are superior in my opinion. 4 has the characters and the improved battle system going for it. Didn't play 5 as I don't own a console

>>384040093
the main cast of p5 is garbage, only yusuke, morgana, futaba and ryuji are ok

No we don't. Persona 3 is a legitimately horrible game that just so happens to have a really great last three hours

Yusuke was fun. Joker was okay but he had even less personality than Yuu. Makoto was the no-fun police.

I don't think anyone comes close to Fuuka's level.

By the way anon, if you plan on playing with widescreen you should get the patch that doesn't make it look stretched, makes the game much more enjoyable

I tried getting it to work when I started, but half way through the game I found out you needed to have a dev build for it. Wish I would have found out sooner.

She's an easy target. Look at her bullies, they know she's too afraid to do anything about it.

Because she's shit.

What if Persona games utilized turn press, turn icons, smirk, you can stack buffs and debuffs, everyone can switch personas, enemies and bosses were smarter and more bosses have dekunda, dekaja, and almighty attacks?

I see.

Oh well, at least you got it working now.

> she's too afraid to do anything about it.
It's not that she's afraid, she just didn't have any means to counteract it.
Fuuka isn't someone that lets anyone walk over her, she will set limits and show her discomfort towards whoever is bothering her.
Sure, she wasn't like that in the begging, but she does learn to stand up for herself.

It's just Hashino. He's a fucking hack.
He says he doesn't use old characters because "respecting the creators" but the lengths that he does borders towards insult.

P3 was challenging (albeit for some of the wrong reasons), but only having randomized dungeons with the same music theme quickly grows old.
P4's cast felt tighter knit, but still has randomized dungeons and the difficulty takes a nosedive after Kanji's dungeon.
P5's battle mechanics were more polished, but was too easy and the social links having everyone's problems caused by some random douchebag that you then had to beat the douche out of made them less engaging, which is why the Sun confidant is frequently considered one of the best SLs.

I just want P6 to be like 5 mechanically but more challenging.
