Just bought this. It's my first SMT/Persona game. What

A pretty enjoyable ride.

I would leave this thread though if you don't want to get spoiled

>>385671908
Nothing happening for like 30 hours, then a somewhat decent ending ruined by The Answer.

Don't drop the series before you try 4.

>>385671908
Aigis.

Long dating sim with the same level 264 times with unfair bosses that require you to grind demons and spend half the game figuring out how to fuse them so you can beat a couple tables

a fun time, i'm currently playing the answer my self.
prioritize charm and courage first, not that academics isn't important but it doesn't need to be maxed till november.
also slinks are more important than stats so never spend an evening working on a stat over an available slink.
there's other important mechanics but i'm sure you'll google them later on.
currently sitting on a pstv and p4g, can't wait to play.

Did you like it?

Cool story and atmosphere and an interesting meta-narrative take in which the gameplay itself is the main enemy that you have to overcome in order to enjoy that story and atmosphere.

I'll be "that guy" and tell you to avoid The Answer. Just play The Journey, and only The Journey.

The Answer is a combination of the worst aspects of SMT games.

>>385672231
or, try 4 and give up

>>385677028
Ignore that guy.

>>385672231
But 4 is the worst, what is this memeing?

just pirated this.
what am I in for?

>>385677128
This. If you don't like 4 then the Persona series isn't for you.

The only reason 3 isn't the worst Persona game to date is because 1 exists.

>>385677456
I loved it and maybe it's recency bias but it overtook Nocturne as my favorite game in the series

No. Only thing 4 has is more pallet swaps.
>better battle system than 3
If easier = better then sure
>better pacing than 3
If i'm being honest both take too long to kick in
>can slink male party members
I mean, I played with waifu squad. Sometimes with Doggo
>don't have to cringe every time a character fails to notice Aigis isn't human
Are you pretending this is any way is comparable to having to listen to Teddie or Yosuke open their fucking mouths?

A game that uses one of it's best track once in the entire game. A damn shame

If you're out there Mitsuru porn guy, thanks.

i'm nearly done with The Journey on my first playthrough
I spent nearly every free night from like June onwards grinding, recently took a break so I didn't lose my mind
Is it worth it / possible to max all s. links on first playthrough? i kinda neglected social links for stats + grinding and ended up regretting it

>>385680304
i should say that my aim was to max all s. links in NG+ since all the stat bullshit is out of the way then

>>385680304
Without a guide to min max your time I can't imagine it really being possible, especially so late in. It's worth doing the ones that you already have got far along if you can.

>>385680304
it is possible, if you're a complete autist and follow a guide daily.
should leave that for NG+ anyway, you only get Orpheus Telos for doing it, and it's only function is to aid you in beating the secret boss.
I got Telos and still haven't beaten that boss to this day.

>>385678814
Anyhing is better than Tartarsauce, anything.

If by easier you mean not having to put upt with the ai's suboptimal choices then yes.

>murderer is kidnapping people
vs
>climb this tower and kill the boss of the month for like 30 hours before the plot kicks in

What does that have to do with anything?

Yes, definitely. Aigis is awful.

>>385680735
Sweet Jesus anon, why in the world would you think Teddie is better than Aigis? Teddie's a dead horse of a mascot they can't stop beating

>>385680735
wow some real shit opinions senpai

>>385673907
in awakening it mentions that her kirijo group owns his body so its probably being researched

>>385677028
It is absolutely canon though

Plus, i liked it well enough

>>385680945
Aigis is a robot that pretends to be a high-school girl and talks to fucking dogs. She's terrible.

Just finished 4, played 3 last year.

Why do we have to fight over this shit every single time? They were both real nice with some rough spots that ultimately didn't mar the experience too badly. I'll bet 5 is also real nice too, though I'm sure someone will be happy to tell me it's the worst thing ever.

She's a ride or die girl, the best ever.

As opposed to an unfunny animated bear costume that repeats his shitty pun 1000x over and has one of the most annoying voices and personalities in videogames (ENG AND JP)?

I seriously had nothing against Teddie through several playthroughs of Persona 4. Fight me. To be honet, I never hated any vidya characters with some mad passion, unless they were truly fucking dicks and seeing them suffer made you feel like there is some justice in the world, even if it's imaginary.

>>385681984
Yes. The bear didn't go to school wearing its fursuit while the students and teachers pretended not to notice it.

>>385682397

I swear to Nyx if they bring him back I will burn Atlus HQ to the ground

Aha, channeling your inner Yukari I see.

Yes, exactly. Bringing him back retroactively ruins Persona 3, completely. When I tell people I don't want Door-kun back I'm usually greeted with some pretty bad vitriol... before telling them that that P3 may be my favourite game of all time...

If anything brings him back it will be Atlus caving to the retarded portions of this fanbase... and i'm not convinced Atlus are above appeasing them anymore.

How horrifying.

Started it a couple of months ago it was my first turn-based jrpg, played the very first part and was liking it a lot and starting to enjoy videogames again but then got spoiled here and went back to Fighting Games to ignore anxiety

Fuuka takes a certain amount of patience and empathy to understand, something most people here lack
