Dred Cosmonaut posted:1 and 2 are totally unlike 3 and 4. 3 is good, but P4 is better in every way. This is pretty accurate. I would still recommend 3 though, it's still fun and a great time it's just not as good as Persona 4. There are worse fates than merely being not as good as Persona 4 though.

chaosapiant posted:I keep playing P4, and I keep liking it more. Possibly more than 3. Not because of the mechanics though, as I don't see the ones in 3 being a deal breaker, but the characters themselves are really growing on me. This is really the crux of it. Persona 4 is a better game mechanically, but more than that, it has flat out better writing and better characterization. The P3 cast weren't really believable as teenagers. The P4 cast is much moreso, and have a better dynamic with each other. The plot is also generally a lot more coherent. Persona 3 was good and enjoyable, but rough and unpolished around the edges.

Persona 4 starts out pretty difficult, then you get Black Frost. Then you kill everything that has ever lived.

Snix posted:So, I heard this is a long game, and it most certainly is longer than other games, but I still can't shake this feeling that it's short. I can easily blow through dungeons in one day, I'm fifty hours in, and I'm level 70. I'm after Mitsou's dungeon, though I haven't activated the next dungeon yet. How far am I? I mean, with P3P, I clocked in 100-120 hours, and the in-game time didn't seem to go as fast as it does here, though P3P was also my first venture into the Persona series. Plus, I beat P3P over the span of several months, and I've just been blowing through P4G over the span of a week and a half. Am I just going too fast? Is there more to the game that I just haven't gotten to yet? Is it just a shorter game? You have a ways to go and you are heinously unbelievably overlevelled

Zombies' Downfall posted:I think the game handles that stuff about as well as it can in the context it takes place in, though I feel like there's a weird thing going with Naoto's story where the game is just as confused about whether she's transgendered or simply pretending to be more masculine for the sake of appearances as she's supposed to be. On the topic of Naoto Much like Kanji, I don't think sex or sexuality is really the focus of Naoto's character arc. Is it possible Naoto is transgendered? Yeah (I'm leaning towards no, but it's certainly possible), but her personal narrative is about dealing with how much of a dick society is about gender roles and people who don't neatly fit them. Just like Kanji. Kanji's gayness or lackthereof is a red herring.

Rasamune posted:Seriously! You'd think they'd at least give you a "put an arm around her shoulders in a sympathetic and totally platonic way" option, rather than forcing you to choose between "embrace her like a lover" and "stand stock-still like a robot beep boop what is this HUMAN com-pas-sion" Still isn't worth it  Rise is irritating and I'll romance her over MY DEAD BODY. Also with this new skill card system and shuffle time, I kind of want to make team HAIL SATAN. A team comprised entirely of variations of Satan. Satan, Helel, Samael, Beelzebub...who else? Is Asmodeus in?

I never found the "controllable party members!" to be much of a big deal one way or the other in Persona 3. It's a fairly easy game either way. (I will qualify this statement with the admission that I never ever, ever use Mitsuru)

Speedball posted:I like how Jester is basically just the more negative aspect of the Fool, our hero and his team's Arcana. We are blindly stumbling forward trying to find the truth... but he's more than content to simply drift through life. That is the idea in general. The Jester is the Reversed Fool card. The Fool represents the Journey that is life. The Jester is a failed journey, one who has not only learned nothing but doesn't believe he has anything to learn. Someone who thinks he has all the answers.

Endorph posted:What exactly do you want? The Max S. Link guide on gamefaqs is long as gently caress, yeah, but it's literally just "Do this on this day. Do that on this day." It's as succinct as you're gonna get for a day-by-day guide. Pretty much just a short list of optimal replies during S-Links to print so I don't need to look it up regularly. The Max S. Link guide is way more than I need because well, I'm not worried about getting everything. F that.

Zurai posted:No, the game would still be easy thanks to Rise's new helper abilities (I was never able to run out of SP) and the ability to choose which abilities are passed on in Fusion. And in practical terms, everyone just backed up and hit x again until they got the abilities they wanted in Persona 4 anyway. Persona 4 was never a hard game, now I just have more freedom of choice in terms of what pokemon I can use.

Mailer posted:I'm wondering how much of the commentary about Golden being easy is based on blind runs in the original. It wasn't horribly difficult but I certainly remember having an annoying time dealing with early fox prices and trying to balance out slinks/dungeon time. I can't speak for the others but I've only played the game once before P4G and never once had Victory Cry during the entire game. No real particularly clever fusion, it was still easy.
