Dark_Tzitzimine posted:Yeah, is more tedious that hard. I finished the snow queen quest and the normal game just using the initial personas. That's Persona 1, not 2. And the Snow Queen quest is hard. gently caress you Thanatos Tower, gently caress you to the deepest pits of hell. ...it was so satisfying when I finally beat it, though.

Man, the only way Persona Q would be better is if it was a crossover of all four games instead of just the last two. Maybe as DLC? Still, Day One purchase.

Delsaber posted:The Sun Mall from the original Persona is a great example of this. "Here's an idea! Let's have the player navigate a crazy dungeon with a ridiculous encounter rate full of pit traps and false routes that'll take the better part of an hour to get through, then when they finally get to the boss... we'll warp them back to the beginning again!" The Karma Palace has nothing on Thanatos Tower. So, in the Snow Queen Quest, you have three dungeons that can be done in any order but have a relative difficulty: Thanatos Tower is the hardest. First off, all Dungeons have a time limit. If you don't finish them in time, you gotta do it all over again. Yes, all of it, because they have no save points. You gotta do them in one go. In addition tot hat, Thanatos Tower will have enemies more powerful than you unless you grind for hours and hours. I mean, something like 15-25 levels above the previous Dungeons's levels of enemies. But hard monsters isn't enough, the Dungeon also has a gimmick! You see, whenever one of your character dies, he loses his persona powers, becoming useless! The character can only attack using normal weapons, and pretty much anything kills him in one hit. TO get your personas back you need to backtrack all the way back to the second level of the Dungeon and enter Tartarus, a SubDungeon the Dungeon, and there get to a room to get your Personas back. If you get all the way to the boss room but then two of your characters die in a random battle, I hope you like backtracking! Oh, and finally there's the Mirror Shards! See, the game has two endings, a Good and Bad one. To get the Good ending, you need to get enough Mirror Shards in the Dungeons. In Thanatos Tower, they are scatterred throughout the Dungeon, including the Tartarus Sub-Dungeon part. So you have to explore everywhere and hope no one dies to get all the Shards and defeat the boss before the time limit. tl;dr gently caress Thanatos Tower.

Sex_Ferguson posted:You fix it by having the character directly talk to the player and using various words like any normal person would when not using a person's name constantly. Part of the reason for this is Atlus refuses to loving have their protagonist not be silent, despite it adding nothing to the game. I'm not even saying I'm bugged by it as much as other people, but there are solutions to this problem. The writers and Dev Team were really pissed that they got stuck with Silent Protagonists in P2, especially Eternal Punishment. Or so I heard.

I really hope SEES/the IIT meet the Harlem Globetrotters. Also that Minako exists. However these have about the same likelyhood apparently. Maybe you'll get to see a gray blur when walking down the dungeons, hitting every wall and every door at the QUICKEST speed.

subhelios, SMT3: Nocturne really sounds more like your kind of game. Unless you played it already?laplace posted:So I'm sure this question has been asked in the past, but I'm having a conflict of choice in regards to the PSN availability of Persona : Eternal Punishment. There's an entire new scenario where you find out what happened to Tatsuya between the two games. It is apparently really great. Also, redone UI and soundtrack are good too.

neongrey posted:I think the kindest thing I can say for P1 is that it's a product of its time. I loving love P1, but it's 40% because of the atmosphere, 40% because of the characters and 20% because of nostalgia (nostalgia for the 90s, and nostalgia because it was the first Persona game I played). Gameplay, as you can see, is 0%. But at least it isn't in the negatives, by which I mean it doesn't interfere with my fun that much.

Butt Ghost posted:And if a character falls in battle, good luck catching him or her up with the rest of the party. In my playthrough, Mark was around ten or so levels lower than everyone else because of this. Whenever I'd revive him, he wouldn't be able to handle any enemies farther down the line because he missed out on experience. You could just go somewhere and grind back up, having everyone who doesn't need exp guard, but grinding is also such a chore in P1. Using support or healing spells count as being super useful in the fight, even if it wasn't, so that was how I managed to cheese the XP system. edit: forgot the word 'spells'. hurr durr

I loving love Persona 1 and 2, but they are very old-school in design and gameplay style. Still, I would say that of all the Persona games, 1 and 2 are the only ones that I felt created really believable settings. Much as I like Persona 3 and 4, Port Island and Inaba don't feel like truly living places, while Mikage really gave me the impression of a dying industrial town while Sumaru felt like a booming city. Sumaru especially, with the various neighbourhoods and poo poo-ton of NPCs, felt a lot more real. They also had a somewhat darker atmosphere, closer in feel to 90s horror movies and anime. But the gameplay is extremely antiquated, yes. Especially in 1.

hubris.height posted:I played a lot of the PSOne Revelations: Persona, but only of the first 5 hours or so, because I rented a PSX and never had a memory card. I recall my mother's reaction being, "What the hell is this?" at the time. It really was a good game at the time, and very new compared to the rest of the American Market at the time, but its a lot like the SNES SMT in that its hard to get back into after years of progress in how JRPGs are played. That was the first SMT game I played. When Persona 3 was first announced, and trailers made it look really cool, I managed to get a copy of the first game for cheap in anticipation. I really liked it, warts and all, although learning of the removed/changed content pissed me off a little. And then the PSP remake came out and all was well!

That's Matador's purpose. He's here to teach you that you can't just waltz in there like in a Final Fantasy game, you're going to have to "get good" at the game to beat it. It took me three attempts to defeat him, and I felt so awesome afterwards.

Um...vague future spoilers, but when given a chance to visit world leaders, don't go to the white guy first. I knew it, you can never trust whitey.  I ended up going with 5 points each in STr, Vit and Agi with the last 3 points in Int for MC, with a 9/9 split between Int and Mag for Law (should have gone for full Mag ), 9 in Str and Vit for Chaos and all points in Mage for the heroine. We'll soon see if I'm screwed before I even started!

Manatee Cannon posted:I dunno, I found dodging shadows extremely easy to do in P4. It'd be nice if low level ones ran from you still (though gently caress the wailing they did, that was so annoying) but it's really not hard to just walk around anything you don't want to fight. Well, just so long as there isn't a golden hand near one that you want dead. My least favorite thing about the P4 dungeon compared to Tartarus is that you don't get money in chests anymore. It was so much easier to get money in P3 when you could get over 500k a pop. I prefer the Dungeons in P1 and P2 because they're actual locations in the city they take place in.
